Can you correct the date on this article (to November 2014 instead of November 2015)? It's messing up the "Latest news" RSS feed, since it always come up as newer than the current news.

In all honesty, this might beat out the Emporium for favorite Modular Building of all time. The structure is remarkable, not to mention SCISSORS!!!

All I've got to say is what I had to say when I first created the article- scissors!

But just looking at that picture- that's the first time in a very long time I've seen a mirror in a set


Can't wait for the helicarrier now, I think that basically confirms it, unless they're taunting us on purpose :P

Another piece of information that was revealed, which I'm going to keep in the comments because of its rumor status, is speculation that next year's rumored UCS Helicarrier can be seen in the opening of the Detective Office Designer Video. Source is the Brickset forums, and the image can be seen here. Speculators claim to see the Helicarrier in the "G", together with a mini Quinjet. What do you think?
