Oh sick, the stripes are all printed. No big stickers. They said it's tied in price with the Aston, but for Canadian prices they're saying the Mustang will be 199$ and I paid 179$ for the Aston. ... I'll still probably try to buy this one day 1.

March 1st at $150? Dollar bills are already flying out of my wallet. For some reason I'm a lot more excited about the Mustang than the DB-5. It's the colorscheme, I think.

I'm also really excited that we're finally starting to get rims with a realistic pivot point.

Yeah, the biggest bombshell of this car is working steering, which has been a common request for the Creator expert cars. It's also nice that those wheels are the same diameter so you can put some skinnier tires on it if you want or mix them around to different cars. kefkafloyd fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Feb 22, 2019 |

I am very ambivalent about cars and Lego cars but actually find this model remarkably appealing.

I'm not really into actual cars, but the Creator Expert ones are great and I'll definitely be picking this up.

I can't name makes and models worth a poo poo, I don't even drive, but I totally love the creator expert cars, as well as speed champions. Great to build and look pretty nice on a shelf.

I'm curious why they moved their expert car to spring. Does this mean we get a second one this summer, or are they just shuffling their schedule a bit. I can't wait to find out.

It's not an issue of "caring," it's being curious why they changed.

I ran to a mall a couple of miles from my office this afternoon and while there, I swung by the Lego Store just to poke around. I ended up picking up the 40305 Lego Store set. I sent a selfie with the brick built minifig and the a shot of the box to Mrs. Doctor who noted that the Dad in the set bears a strong resemblance to me.  So I went to the Lego Store and bought a Lego Store containing me buying Lego.

Target has a gift card promotion on LEGO at the moment and they’ll price match Walmart in store. After the gift card got a pirate roller coaster down to $62, ~31% off. Would work on a bunch of the LEGO movie 2 sets which Walmart also has marked down.

I've seen them in barnes and noble and sometimes they come with a minifig or bricks too it seems like, was just wondering if anyone had any that they'd found had cool stuff in them.

I liked the inventions book: https://www.amazon.com/Genius-LEGO-Inventions-Bricks-Already/dp/1624146783 , though I've never followed any of their instructions directly since I likely don't have all the pieces for a given build, and even if I did, our collection isn't sorted well enough. What I did get from it were the jumping-off point, like making a pullback car using a ponytail holder.

What’s the odds on being able to get the Creator Mustang when it drops on Friday? I’ve never bought anything direct from Lego before, but I want to earn the VIP points for the decent sized purchase. With the decent previews so far it looks like it might be a popular set.

Going to a store or online? online can be hit and miss as if it's popular their website will turn into slag. I don't think it'll be more popular than the Sat-v. I don't think you'll have issues getting it release day. Also I think it'll go live midnight eastern, so plan accordingly to your locality (or if you are not an american).

Probably buying online, eastern US. I have a Lego store reasonably close but it would be a pain to get to after work. I’ll check the website in the morning and see if I can get an order in.

I'm gonna see if I can find it in a store somewhere. I don't like how poorly lego packs their boxes. My F40 showed up kind of banged up. Also, I don't need it immediately because I don't know when I'll be able to build it.

Don’t worry about it. The odds of the initial run selling out immediately are very low.

This one might be a little more scarce early on as it's got some elevated interest outside the lego sperg circles, but long term it will be readily available.

Inspired by this Reddit post, I've been trying my hand at designing microscale Star Wars locations (all 10x10) in Studio. Only rendered for now, but all of them are buildable with pieces in existing colors:
