Anyone get the vestas wind turbine? I suspect I will get it eventually. But I think I am going to wait and see if I can get it for under $150.

https://www.brothers-brick.com/2018/11/28/lego-speed-champions-2019-sets-revealed-includes-mini-coopers-and-more-new/ Speed champions, doesn't appear to be a $99 set this year, or at least not revealed yet. Senna, F40 are must buys to me, Mini is cool, the dodges are a hard pass.

To my eye the F40 and the Senna are the ugliest of the bunch.  The Camaro is really well built, and the Dodges are almost studless which is really impressive at that scale. Sucks the Mini isn't standalone, I don't need yet another crappy "garage."

My 05028  I also go the MOC USC millennium falcon technic stand and I'm super happy to not have to source a billion long technic blocks that i would have needed to build it myself out of Lego. Although I probably have enough in various colors to actually do it.

Yeah, it's the best car in all of this. The f40 is a good base but needs some mods, I like the Senna as is probably. Most likely I'll wind up getting the dodges because I get speed champions poo poo and well, why not. But the Mini Baja thing is ugly trash and I hate it. It won't get built and will just get put into the parts bins.

I just finished the number 3 bags for the Detective's Office and ran into something I don't think I've ever seen before: You use a couple 99207’s (Black Bracket 1 x 2 - 2 x 2 Inverted) to make arms for a chair in the office. I only had one, though, and instead I had a random 44728 (Black Bracket 1 x 2 - 2 x 2) instead. There should be only one black 44728 in the whole set but it's in the number 4 bags, I even found it in there. I've never had a piece mistakenly replaced with such a similar one in a sealed set before. Very weird.

I actually had a similar thing happen with the Diner (my only modular by the way). There was one 1x4 plate that was supposed to be in light grey but was in dark grey. Quite odd as I've never had a missing or incorrect part in any set before or since.

I'm glad they made a mini(sorta) F40. Now they just need to make a mini DB5.

Easiest/cheapest way to get a minifig Santa and a Lego conical green tree? Nothing serious, just wanted to dress up my custom extra long passenger train around our Christmas tree...

Lego city advent calendar is on sale in many retail stores here. Has a Santa and a buildable tree plus more figures. Goes for 7-10€. Maybe you get lucky at your place, too

Well, if it's anything like the Kelly Sue Deconnick series... no. However, it will still be everyone's favorite part of the film.

I got the whateverlepincallsitselfnow version a while back when the turbine was a limited never to be re-released set and it's a nice set, sort of. There's definitely room for improvement on the design...but a 200 dollar price tag you're paying for the limited edition super special factor that no longer exists

It is over 2500 pieces. It’ll look good with the rest of the street, but as a stand-alone it’s not too exciting. And it will still be a day 1 purchase for me.

Looks good. I like it. Makes a Creator Mustang in the vein of the Aston DB5 more likely as well, since the original leak mentioned that as well. I am surprised that with their push to "Green" stuff they are doing a gas station. Also $200 is a huge increase in price for no increase in pieces over the diner.
