Here’s an interesting thing. That Gravity Falls Mystery Shack on Ideas that hit 10,000 back in June has been mysteriously ‘archived’.Lego posted:Regretfully, we have chosen to archive your project and no longer consider it for production for reasons communicated to you privately. Your project will remain visible on LEGO Ideas, but in a status where it can no longer be supported or commented on. This way fans can still admire your creation.

There will likely be a very similar hidden side cabin coming and they don't want the ideas set to canibalise on their own inferior product's potential buyer base ...

The reality is probably that Disney doesn't care about merchandising Gravity Falls because they don't have anything new coming up for the license and it's slightly off brand for them.

The control+ poo poo is way overpriced, but I am having a lot of fun with the new 4x4 (it's discounted 30% to 35% immidiately over here anyway). The app is okay. It sucks that you can't use the system for anything different at the moment, and that there is no b-model. I hope they'll add options to configure the A-B-C-D outputs for custom models down the line. And yeah, it's lovely that you need a smartphone or tablet to actually use the Lego model, without any idea of how long that app will be around. I handed that thing to my two nieces over the weekend, and they had a blast driving it through the garden, and now want Lego Technic instead of Friends. My brother is not impressed. What I am trying to say: I am now really looking forward to the Liebherr in october. tuo fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Aug 19, 2019 |

Also also: the 4x4 is the third model within a year that had a wrong piece. I always put the pieces of the current bag (if they are numbered) into a big tin box, so I am pretty sure I haven't lost one. I am missing a straight black axle connector, and instead have a 45° axle connector. No big deal, as Lego replaces them within a couple of days, but it was the same with the big red all-road crane (2x3 shield-thingy instead of the 3x5 that was needed) and something else I forgot on the forrest extractor. I know it's still common believe that Lego makes no errors in packaging, but there is no way I could have lost those pieces, and the very, very similar ones (regarding weight) I had left over didn't fit anywhere, and didn't count for the 1x1 pieces which they give you one or two extras per build. e: just remembered: one of the pneumatic routers of the forest extractor was leaking and thus didn't work. Also replaced by Lego within a week. I really like their customer support!

My Women of NASA didn't have Mae Jemmison's head, it had a standard cylinder piece in brown instead.

I feel like if it were that, they’d just say it was rejected at the review stage, rather than archiving it now and personally contacting the creator to tell them why. This feels different. I’m leaning towards the ‘Hidden Side has something super similar coming soon’ theory.

If you are interested in S19 of the minifigs, here is a good deal: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193020664190?ViewItem=&item=193020664190 $70 for the whole set. Plus if you order today before midnight, you get $7 back in ebay bucks. So $63 for the set which works out to less than retail per figure. Hope this helps some peoples.

I've got a bit of a carnival theme going with the sets I have up for display and play for the kids I work with. Carousel, pirate coaster, those new space themed sets, it's fun. I was in a toy store the other day and the carnival minifig set caught my eye. It's perfect to fill up the empty spaces between the bigger sets. Until I saw the price. 45 euros. What gives? That's insane.

Found some more leaked info about the upcoming UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. Released mid Sept for VIP, 4.7k pieces, and $699. Some purely baseless speculation is that it might be incorporating lights or motors to account for the low piece per dollar point (especially compared to the Millenium Falcon). https://brickshow.com/2019/08/next-ucs-lego-star-wars-imperial-star-destroyer-75252

$700 for 4,700 gray pieces? I think they're only making this so the Falcon looks better by comparison

This set is three weeks old though so if you wait a bit you should see it cut around 20% and if you can wait until after Christmas or July inventory flushing you can get it for a better deal. Amazon already has it 10% off here you might check there. I love all the new carnival stuff but it’ll be cheaper if I wait.

Waiting on a few parts so I can make all the characters and I'll probably polish it up a bit, but I think this is mostly done. I'll post some better pics once it's finished. Pretty happy with how it's turning out though.

Word. Yeah I was thinking the same thing. It really just over takes the water area too much now that I’m looking at it. Just occurred to me I could do the top part of the sub sticking out there instead
