The new Batwing can stand vertically on its own. The wing tips and tail form a tripod that's pretty stable. Looks cool on the shelf.

Woah what the hell? The freshest rumor from the ol' mill is that there's going to be a 5 set Animal Crossing wave in March '24.

If this is true, it will be the first time I buy a 2nd copy of every set to keep in box.

I like Lego. I freaking LOVE Animal Crossing.

The Concorde should really be a British Airways or Air France livery. But it definitely looks a lot cooler than the very blocky 787.

Uncounted hours later, I am done.



Overall, 3 inconsequential parts were missing, and some are left over. Most of it works very well, some bits are a bit finicky. It's a very fun build because it's mostly asymmetrical in the details despite the overall symmetry.

That is really impressive, and also a good reminder of how hilariously undergunned the ISD is for its size.

In post-photo news it turns out the 1x6 pieces covering the gap between the plates now stay in place so I can get rid of the rubber band!

There are two comedy options here:

  1. They randomly pack a bonus Raymond in like 1% of sets.
  2. All villagers are randomly packed.

I'm darn stoked to see how the AC figs turn out. It really seems like the perfect neo-Fabuland theme.

I'm rioting if there isn't a Scoot.

It's pretty hilarious how tossing a bunch of special, loved, Animal Crossing characters behind a hypothetical CMF blind boxed set seems peak Nintendo & Lego. Maybe there will be an e-reader chase card.

I'm hoping each minifig will be from a different era. Gimme a classic black-visor Blacktron figure!

I strongly disapprove


I consider myself lucky, nay, blessed that about 95% of new Lego releases leave me utterly uninterested :effort:

Just have to hope they don't keep releasing vintage-theme-inspired sets like the Galaxy Explorer, Eldorado et al. regularly, that would be my downfall. Right now I think the only leaked thing I'm very interested in is the Viking Village but if they start rereleasing 1 vintage inspired (castle, pirates, space, heck, I'd take Wild West and Adventurers since I mostly missed them, they came out as I was getting a bit old for "toys") set each month, I'll be there buying them all :negative:

I'm gonna need like 10 series of CMFs to go with the Animal Crossing sets.

edit: the 3rd party market is gonna pop off with these since there's no way LEGO will make all the villagers people want.

minifigures (and parts) recovered until now. I suspect I will find just as many in the big still unsorted box.

I wonder if this just a "we got no other ideas so let's try it" or if this is gonna coincide with another wave of pre-1995 space set remakes.

For anyone who is excited about the AC sets:

1 - the AC amiibo were probably the worst selling amiibo ever
2 - the mario LEGO sets don't sell well either and are always on clearance after a few months

So odds are, if you can wait you will be able to get all the AC sets for slashed prices pretty easily.

If they do AC CMF, those you probably shouldn't wait on, though. Some of the mario ones have been harder to find than others, apparently.
