Fatkraken posted:it's 168 pieces with a raw bricklink price of under £20, I just want to get it for something close to that once shipping is in effect. I didn't see the multibuy option though, I think that's what I needed, so thanks Oh, yeah that makes sense then. I must have been temporarily dyslexic and read 168 as 618 or something. Glad it sounds like it will work out for you.

trevorreznik posted:I imported this into bricklink just now, and hitting auto select it came out to $17.65 total from 3 stores before factoring in shipping, all in USA. You are unlikely to get those exact eye pieces, though. There are alternatives out there that look various degrees of not quite as good.

Yeah, those eyes aren't in any other set. These look fine imo and are less than 10¢ each. And the slight difference is not worth the insane mark up on the boxed set unless you are some kind of ultra purest. Plus those eyes could show up in another set in the future.

There's a new set coming out that I think has the same eyes. Unless I dreamed it. Don't think it was a dream, though. Can't remember what is was, though. Hmm...

 Last series of minifigs that are remotely affordable arrived today - series 24. So I now have 21 - 25 all set up. Looking forward to the Space themed series 26.

Apparently it's a Vision GT. My knowledge of Lamborghini kind of ends at the A Vent, A Door so I had to go lookin. https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/news/lambo-v12-vision-gran-turismo-you-can-drive-it-too

I just ordered the 1:8 scale Lambo Countach from Mould Kings. Will be my first set from them, excited to see how badly I can gently caress it up.

New Ninjago sets. That mech looks absolutely amazing, and I'm 99% sure that blade is the same piece as the one they used for hte Ornithopter's wings.

Of course the Interceptor didn't go live for sale at midnight.  EDIT: Then *did*, and is now down again, because it didn't add the three gifts to the bag. And is now throwing an error when you attempt to add it to your bag. EDIT2: Finally figured out what was going on - spamming "add to bag" was just filling my phantom cart to the point where I hit the purchase limit and it was locking me out. Finally gained access to my cart by adding a random set, whittled all the crap out, and was able to check out. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 06:14 on May 1, 2024 |

Empty cart, full cart, etc. At one point I was finally able to checkout but I noticed it didn’t add the GWP’s, so I backed out. Then 20 minutes later everything worked. Unlike last year it only took a few minutes to get my confirmation emails so it’s definitely an improvement.

Pics of a ton of sets for this summer are showing up. Technic, speed champions, marvel, sonic, Mario, friends. Just scroll down a bit to see them. https://www.thebrickfan.com/ Not much there grabs me.The highlight is the lunar rover, but I'm not interested enough to buy it. Maybe I'll buy the Thor set and try to make the creature more like a LOTR Balrog though.

Never collected the mini figure series stuff before. What do you all do? Order 1 or 2 six packs or wait a minute and buy a complete set on the secondary market?

Varies by taste. I just ordered complete sets of 21 - 25 off ebay at pretty reasonable prices. You can already put in a preorder on ebay and other places for the complete series 26 set when it comes out. Or you can buy a box of, I want to say 36 packs? It's quite expensive but people here have said you'll probably get 2 - 2.5 sets out of it. Lego.com won't let you order more than 12 packs total so you simply can't get a full set there unless you have statistically improbable luck.

a Lego City tram set has also been leaked apparently: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-city-60423-downtown-tram-revealed this will be absolutely perfect for my city diorama (curse you Lego  ), just need to buy a few track pieces to connect it up to the downtown train station. It also has a service dog!  It's not motorized but I honestly don't care, I don't have space for a full track layout and stuff, it's probably just going to be a point-to-point aesthetical thing

I thought the May 4th GWP was pretty cool last year, that little mini Death Star. This year's offerings are really disappointing.

Well I did it: Got the Interceptor and the GWPs, and because I am a total sucker I bit on the 15 off on the throne and bought it too.  Now to spend 0$ on anything until mh3 which thankfully isn't unt....next month!?

Retired series are all on secondary markets. New series you can use various apps to scan the QR codes on the bottom of the packages to get the minifigs you need. The codes are usually published well before the release.

I'm not big on Marvel stuff, but that Milano looks cool and colourful enough as a display piece that I might just get it. Also, a Speed Champions safety car is a really fun idea.

Well goddamnit Lego I bought the Interceptor, grats on securing another May 4th fomo purchase out of me nearly 10k in points saved up which will obviously have to be reinvested at some point. my nephew doesn't have the latest ninjago city, I want Rivendell before it retires and I'd also love to combine the DnD set and the medieval town square

Cool the AT-AT is sold out in the UK store so the promotion is no longer valid. I'm not even sure what the discount was so IDK if it's worth going into a store for it.

What I like about the Lunar Rover is what I *don't* like about the Artemis set - stickers. I also have a feeling the launch tower of the Artemis set is going to be a *miserably* repetitive build.

I don’t mind the stickers but I don’t like the weird attempt at the dish antenna. I’ll have to figure out some cloth/mesh fix for that.

i'm a sucker for stuff like rivendell because each section of the build is totally different. viking village was cool like that too. i like star wars ships and whatnot but when you get to the wing sections and you're repeating yourself it loses a little bit of enjoyment in the process

I'm getting annoyed by speed champions double sets that don't need to be two cars. I don't want a g wagen, but I might have bought that other one of it weren't bundled together.
