I have enough anxiety having it close to my bobbleheads, but those are at least behind one of the goals. You play air hockey much more violently than I do. For me it's perfect because it provides a barrier to keep people away from the shelves.

I'm pretty sure that's just the old 'Jetpack with Handles' piece cast in Orange on a grey minifigure wearing a green helmet and transparent orange visor

OSU_Matthew posted:Lego take my money already They're working on it - here's a list of upcoming price increases: https://brickset.com/article/79374/list-of-price-increases-in-the-usa The persistently out of stock Delorean hurts the most, but there are a lot of ridiculous 25% increases in there.

Oh yeah, it’s in the same arena of ‘unfortunately no pay raises this year for workers, but the company reports increased profits over last year’. It leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. I love Lego, but they’re not doing themselves any favours in keeping people loyal.

Cojawfee posted:So I guess they are waiting for the price increase to bring the delorean back? Probably. Sucked seeing it in stock at Target and B&N last week at 169 and then B&N, in the middle of people buying it, jacked their prices up. Some people were even happy paying the extra $30 just to get the set. This is 100% LEGO taking advantage of inflation poo poo to garner even more profit. Might be time to finally bow out and sell all my poo poo. Well, except for this set. And that one. And this one. Oh yeah, and this one. Sigh. gently caress you LEGO.

Lego.com has double VIP points today and tomorrow with some sets being freshly marked down as well. Definitely more options than the single(?) set that's on sale for Prime Day. https://www.lego.com/en-us/categories/sales-and-deals Monkie Kid's Galactic Explorer finally being available at international prices with double VIP points tacked on is a solid win in my book, especially before the price hikes hit. I saw the new big Basic box 11022 Space Mission w/ 1700 pieces at my local Costco for $55, down from $70 retail. I've been looking for bulk bricks in fabulous colors, I'll probably have to snag one before they disappear.

I haven't built that one, but I could see it having a bunch of 1x1 snot pieces and whatnot to get that shape and form. That's one thing lego does really well, differentiating the piece colors on the internal structure so you have a variety of pieces and it's easier to put together.

The_Doctor posted:Hocus Pocus is gonna be the next Ideas set. Uh, the build needs a lot of refinement. It will be updated a ton. It has stability issues and out of production pieces that will be addressed and replaced by LEGO. It's also just super basic in terms of technique, with nothing interesting going on at all for the tudor, texturing, etc. I hope this thing looks radically different by the time LEGO is done with it - maybe smaller in scope but more dense with detail, and not such a boring build. I'm sorry to be so rude to a build that obviously was popular enough to garner 10k and an approval, but I'm salty about Ideas and this thing really is letting me down. Look at that tree! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/03e29e48-9f95-4d53-bac9-369356ea6d25
