IIRC, paper recycling causes more pollution. It's one of those things where it looks good on the outside, but the science shows it to actually be worse.

They should use rice paper. You just stuff the bag in your mouth and swoosh around a loogie until the bag is gone, then spit the Legos out onto the table. No bag to worry about.

Looking forward to the new brick separator that comes with a razor blade for trimming the leftover plastic.

And paying a premium on bricklink for "perfectly trimmed" bricks.

Yeah, it's confirmed that'll happen at some point, but there is some question as to whether the GWP will start tonight or not. Also I suspect the baby yoda ... statute, whatever, will launch on Oct 1.

When I ordered the Burrow, unbeknownst to me there was a Hagrid and Buckbeak GWP that would have yielded some good extra pieces but was sold out before my order could be fulfilled. I guess that's just the way the cookie crumbles and better luck next time Lego is a broken company, getting worse every day, that I will never stop giving money to (I will only complain louder than I already do with every purchase)

I think that might have been in-store only? I saw something about some in-store only promos which comes off a bit...lame given the current circumstances.

It didn't show up when I placed the order online originally (I also didn't see any ads for it), then I got a notification email saying part of the order was cancelled- just the GWP that I guess was added to the order then removed once they ran out. I'm not holding my breath at this point, but that Monkie Kid delivery bike would have been a good one to get instead if I had waited. The freebies don't usually interest me except from a spare parts perspective.

I have some notes.
Question for the brainstrust here, which kind of hose (the malleable kind that can be bent into shape) is still being used in sets, or at least used until fairly recently so as to be easily available? The kind that can clip into a standard clip or hand piece?

e: think I've found it, even though it's described as "rigid" on bricklink I'm pretty sure the 3mm stuff is the one I want.

Watched a review of the Cantina and now I want it even more. All of the detail and how modular it is. Yikes, I should not be seeking out some huge Lego set right now, but it's easily one of the best SW sets ever.

It still hasn’t gone live in the US as far as I can tell. Or I hosed myself over by having them fix my VIP points only to break something else somehow.

This Wheel Ø56X22 W. Spokes piece used in the Razor Crest is an odd one.

https://brickset.com/parts/6264148

It’s a pretty big chunk of plastic, it’s been around since 2006 and has only been used in various colors in 16 sets over that time. Seems like random Lego designers find it in the parts inventory and come up creative uses.

For instance, this steam roller uses five of them: https://brickset.com/sets/7746-1

It’s the same image. Seems like it’s not embedded correctly in your original post, at least not in the app I’m using.

It's because iOS won't do anything with a webp extension. Luckily on imgur links you can just change the file extension, it'll serve a jpeg either way.

Yeah people frequently complain when the spokes are visible in these applications. It works in the razor crest though. What got me about the razor crest was brick building the nozzles- is there not a half cone type of shape that would have worked?

Looks like the Cantina is up for NA, apparently the Yoda saber was available, but it seems it's already sold out? Also, apparently it was Cantina only, which is a shame if it comes back in stock because I was hoping to get it with the Razorcrest.

I think they're adding it later or something, I ordered it at the earliest possible moment and didn't get it, but yeah it's listed specifically on the cantina page as shipping out with the cantina for VIP orders.

edit: it's not listed anymore, did I really miss it? geez. It was listed as the promo on the cantina product page when I added to cart, but it didn't add to my cart.
