the new lego 2k driving game looks fun, but it also looks like they crammed micro transactions into every part they could. seems scummy for a kids game??

Welcome to the thread! I very much enjoy your Speed Champions display. I collect them too, and I've also spent years building my own:



You can see 'em here if you like:

Yeah I am very bad at keeping my RB up to date (because it is a lot of work and I already work 2 jobs and blah blah, excuses) but many/most of them are there.

Yeah, that photo was actually taken during setup at that very show!

nice, if you remember, ping me when that tyrellp34 goes up, i like that build!

Is there any accurate way to tell if a set is selling poorly and therefore likely to go on sale?

Do you guys ever take apart and rebuild? I hosed up part of the Simpsons house and half the roof fell off. I was thinking about taking it apart and rebuilding but kinda worried I might have lost a piece here or there

what do you guys typically do with VIP points? use em for discounts?

Sunk Dunk

speaking of cars, does anyone know how often they release speed champions sets? from looking at the previous releases, it looks like every ~6 months or so (not counting the one off fast and furious releases).

anyone know if there's gonna be any new GWP when 2x VIP points start?

Why does this train have a Star Wars level markup? Crazy that a set like this breaks down to >10¢/pp.

I built the new land rover classic defender. It's a cool little build, but I'm not used to the tiny cars after building the new speed champions.

BDP Series 2, time to judge things! I don't have a dog in this fight since I opted not to resubmit my build, so I can be a bit more objective when I don't view anything as competition, lol.


curious why too many pieces is a bad thing. i like pieces

This one did it better tbh but it's not an official LEGO design.

Anyway, I unveiled the LEGO ball gag at this month's LEGO meeting and I'm told our president turned completely beet red. Probably doesn't help that it came, like, 5 minutes after he told some other folks to remember to keep their conversation family friendly. Anyway, our new monthly theme is "plants" so here's my family-friendly build for this one, a lovely vase:
