So with the Titanic announced the only big 2021 set left to be revealed is the Home Alone set. I assume it’ll be a December release for obvious reasons. The sticker sheet leaked recently so a leak of the full set shouldn’t be much longer but the official reveal might be in November.

EDIT: Apparently Lego have said in a recent interview/whatever that the Blue Fiat will NOT be releasing worldwide. After this trial is over it'll be gone for good. So get it now if you really want it.

This is true, but it reminds me of one particular circumstance that has changed. According to a fan interview with New Elementary (among others), the unique new light royal blue pieces introduced specifically for the set would NOT be going to Bricks & Pieces either, greatly limiting peoples' ability to get those parts outside of somehow procuring a copy of the UK-exclusive set. Well, apparently there was a big internal push by the Community Team to convince the team running the Fiat pilot to allow those parts onto B&P, after all. They've started appearing already. The 62361 mudguard, 32828 1 x 1 round plate with bar, 6091 1 x 2 x 1 1/3 curved slope, 99207 1 x 2 - 2 x 2 inverted bracket, 99780 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 inverted bracket, and 35480 1 x 2 round plate have all been spotted available and in stock on there. Probably more. Haven't personally gone looking yet.

A palette swap of the ships to make the wartime Olympic with dazzle camouflage and the Britannic as a hospital ship would be awesome. The Olympic and Titanic are basically identical but the Britannic is a bit bigger I believe.

Airships are cool. I could imagine them at least coming back for cargo transport. An all electric airship would be fairly easy to make compared to any kind of large airplane, and the speed doesn't matter as much.

Ugh I don't love the idea of dropping $600+ on a single Lego set but I was a huge Titanic dork as a kid and spent a bunch of my childhood building Titanics at home. I'm probably going to shell out for this one.

It looks beautiful but I have no idea where I'll put it.

You know, I saw some clip connections and even at least one mini ball joint on the rear of the Titanic. I'm eagerly awaiting the first mecha alternate build.

Dang that Titanic is gorgeous and I’m not even super into boats. It’s surely basically guaranteed to have an absolutely ludicrous resale value after it retires too… I’m way more tempted than I should be for a $650 set.

Its smoke damaged from a fire. Hopefully insurance covers it because that’s a bummer. Even if you manage to clean it you’re never gonna get the smell out

It is, however, exactly what I imagine the actual Falcon to smell like, with a dash of diesel.

Every time I decide to start a MOC I always imagine I have a ton of parts I don't :sigh:

I have so many spare parts but never what I actually need unless the model is going to be gray, and even then I'm usually hitting BL after 15 minutes. I love that Star Wars has made Lego spaceship making almost endless in possibilities. There's just s many parts to choose from. but the inherent grayness means lots more limitation when you want to make something that is not gray or star warsy at all.

Decided I really wanted to make Vip Viper. Not "a Vic Viper" this time but the actual one from Gradius.

Super early WIP. Needs a ton of work but I am pretty excited about this giant tail. it's almost perfect. Those wings are going to be a bitch and I still need to make a bunch of changes to the body. Needs to be longer at least before I finish it off. but I think it could work out pretty good. happy I had those orange canopies.





Can't decide if I am going to do the OG version



Or the arguably more famous and probably cooler looking Gradius 5 one. will probably turn it into this one tbh.





Still pondering how I'm gonna make those wings work. That's gonna be the hard part. It'll be 3x the size when all is said and done. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I think the little I have done still has a lot of room for improvement but I'm pretty happy with the bones of it. Can probably at least work with this.

Finished the Medieval Blacksmith. Very cool set but heavily agree with the poster who says it is super fragile. Between the really weird tree, to the chairs in the kitchen, to the roof pieces that just hang on to things, lot of stuff a 3 yo can knock off easily while trying to play.
