The speed champions-esque police car is ugly as gently caress. And then the next three police oriented sets have perfectly tolerable police cars.

Never really been super impressed by the animal Creator sets but the brick-built stripes on that tiger are pretty rad.

It comes with the special edition of Lego Skywalker Saga, there's versions for all the main platforms. In the UK and EU they're all sold out on amazon but I've found a few other UK sellers that still stock it but I'm not sure it's worth the £60 for me, even if I do want the game.

Just finished updating my 2022 spreadsheet to plan my buys. Thankfully there's a drug store in my country that sells a lot of the stuff I look for well below RRP, and they often have 'Buy two, get 25% off' deals to keep it manageable.

Long shot ask... anyone holding a new (hell or even used, if its complete?) Santa's Sleigh 40499? I discovered it too late this year and it's sold out. I need it for the modular city street Christmas display I put in the window with my kids. I don't mind paying a little more but trying to avoid eBay gouging.

Nice to see pics for all those sets but I'm still curious what the modular will be.w00tazn posted:This was way sooner than I expected. Especially since I got into wave 2 of the boat. Same here with the Fishing Boat in the second wave. But I wonder if this is just a mass email that's going out to everyone who bought something in that round regardless of if it was for the original run or the extension. However I still have to hold out hope that we'll get it sooner rather than later- if they already know how many people are buying one, then it shouldn't be a problem making them all now as opposed to some now, some later.

Does anyone know how long it is taking for Lego to actually ship orders? I don't like how they create the label and email me the tracking number and then just don't do anything with it for four days.

What’s the deal with the gold rings in the Bird of Paradise set. If even calls out in the instructions that no other set has as many of them but they are buried in the vase portion as spacers where you’ll never see them in the finished build.

The new technic sets for first half of 2022 dropped. https://www.promobricks.de/lego-technic-2022-neuheiten/131061/ The Formula E car has to be a bad joke. If you can‘t realize something in a given scale, either not do it, or become Carbohydrates and find a way. The parts used for the front axle/cover over the front wheels is a bad joke.

The new creator-expert train is a huge disappointment. Who was clamoring for a 4 stud wide high speed train? It's not a great model and certainly not what Lego train fans have been hoping for. Only things that piqued my interest were the Chinese new year sets.

It looks like about 5 mins was spent on design, and four wide--what's the point? I mean Lego trains are at this point pretty much a like a bastard stepchild, but this one really I have no idea even who is it for.

Anyone know of or use any kind of earth friendly-ish storage bags? I got too many sets on display and want to disassemble some of them without dumping all the parts into my greater collection. The obvious choice is to sort them into ziploc bags, but they're not very durable and single use plastics suck. I'm also kind of against hard sided storage bins because in a lot of cases that would result in the disassembled set taking up more space than the built version. Muslin drawstring bags seem like a good candidate but they aren't really sold in an assortment of sizes.. I'd be committed to buying bulk packs of 20-50 in whatever sizes I might want. Zippers might be preferable too, drawstrings have a tendency to loosen up over time. I'm not totally against plastic, nylon bags would work too but eyeballing stuff on amazon says it's going to be a lot more expensive if I buy a lot of them. So I'm curious if anyone has any other awesome ideas I haven't stumbled on yet.

You could staple them shut.

I've used a combo of Ziplocs, paper bags, and various plastic storage tubs over the years. TBH buying a couple dozen plastic bags is just a, heh, drop in the ocean in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah every time I buy used Lego they come in ziplocs and I reuse them, and keep all the extras stacked in the largest on the rest will fit in. They're of course in rough shape because you can see where pieces had been poking at them all over but they aren't at any risk of breaking open, so if it's just going into storage they're fine. Alternatively, when I disassembled a used Hogwarts castle for a friend's daughter to build, it was something like 38 bags so I quickly ran out of ziplocs and used old comic book bags I deemed unsuitable for comics and just stapled them.

I use bags like these for other stuff. The zippers can fail, but they are reasonably tough. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...728243912%22%7D
