What is this emotion called "criminal negligence"?

It was on the lego shop page too but nowhere to be found now. Probably a "while supplies last" type thing.

Ahh, my nearest store is attached to a 'Discovery Centre' and as such isn't technically an official store, so I guess I was never in with a chance there.

Looked at the last couple pages and didn't see this mentioned but here in the UK John Lewis has the Barracuda Bay set with a 15% discount right now which isn't crazy huge but was enough to get me to pull the trigger. Somebody else might also want it and thought I'd mention it.

I've recently just gotten back into Lego after a decade (after a break of a decade before that, too).

While I lament the lack of original Space themes, loving the absolute crap out of the Creator Rover.

To those of you that own the Apollo, is it worth a purchase?

Lander is nice, Saturn V is awesome, Creator Rover is a cultural touchstone. Get used to bricklink if you want one.

If you don’t have the Saturn V yet, that set is fantastic. I still haven’t built the lander so I can’t speak to that.

If you’re looking for classic space, Benny’s Spaceship ticks all the correct boxes in a really satisfying way.



E: Re Bricklink and parting out the Mars Rover, what’s the trick? Just created a parts list and went to auto buy, and the recommended mix is 255$, or it’s 100$ for a complete used set

Making a lego grocery store is a parent rite of passage I think, my dad did the same thing with me when I was somewhere in the 5-10 age range. We did the whole thing, filled one of those grey 48x48 baseplates with it.

Hey is there a tool somewhere where I could put in a list of ~40 pieces and see what colors are common across all of them? Thinking of doing a color swap of a set that has a shitton of monochrome.

This is your daily reminder to use the "max price" modifier in Bricklink to not get screwed over by auto select. Very important, underused tool.

I can't think of a tool that does that, but it also seems somewhat easy to create if you have skills that I definitely don't lol

What set ya thinkin' of swapping, and to what color? I can eyeball it pretty accurately.

You aren't going over the top with classic space unless you buy that new book about minifigs that comes with an orange classic spaceperson.

I can't decide what to build next. I've done lots of spaceships, some wheeled vehicles, and most recently a mecha walker... feel a bit dry on concepts for the moment. I wouldn't mind a prompt if anyone can think of one?

How about a boat, but a scifi boat? Think one of the more recent episodes of Mando. You don't see future boats that often, occasionally in the background of cyberpunk cityscapes.

I'm thinking of redoing 3450 in a copper-like shade. I'm not in love with the set and Sand Green is absurdly expensive it seems, but it would be an omission if I manage to collect all of the other Statues of Liberty lego has done and not the one apparently from before SNOT was invented.

This is annoying; both Bricklink and Brickset appear to have mistakes in their inventories so this isn't as quick to check as I would have hoped. That said, tan is good to go assuming 3063 is replaced with 85080 (updated mold). Dark tan, dark orange, and medium nougat won't work - far too many pieces unavailable. Not sure what else would be remotely copper-y.
