I would also include the minifigs for Black Frasier. :colbert:

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

Disappointing stuff from Ideas, the Futurama or Ratatouille sets would have been insta-buys for me.

It seems to me that the review coming after Fall 2020 will have the Nook's Cranny set and the Lego Doggo set (if it hits 10,000).

Honestly, I wouldn't even attempt the minifigure. I mean, it's a given that one would be made well by LEGO anyway, and people kinda know the character that'll probably be included there's almost no point to make some off-brand looking one that's going to suck.

As a potential series, LEGO could do worse than Animal Crossing. Lots of iconic buildings and characters, and the villagers could use a set number of head and possibly body molds that just use different colors/prints.

Hell, LEGO could do blind bag Animal Crossing villagers, and make Raymond ultra-rare. His accessory could be a moving box.

Ok, so I was going to cancel my Haunted House order because after rearranging stuff today, I realized I really don't have the space for it and upon second thought, I don't really care for it that much... however it just shipped earlier today and welp, it's arriving.

I see that it's out of stock on the LEGO site, would any goons like to buy it from me for the exact price I paid? If not I'll just return it.

The white 911 is a pretty boring set imo, but it has so much air in it, so there are really good modifications out there to make it interesting/fully motorized (but that costs a lot). There's also a pretty dope MoC based on it that makes an F1 car. I don't have the "new" yellow crane, as I luckily have the last two, and I don't need the third. I red one review about it that wasn't very positive, but the guy building it said himself he assumes that he made a build error.

The red crane - just checked - in fact got a bit more expensive now that it's out of production. I still think it's one of the best technic sets in recent years. It's a lot of fun to build, not much repetition, looks really good (it's really big), and is fun to play with, even as an adult. Even at the current price, I think it's a good cost-to-brick ratio.

The white 911 has even less functions than the orange one, and is basically a display set. It looks good apart from the headlights, they are terrible. The orange 911 also looses it's appeal pretty quick on display (even more so if you expose it to sunlight ;) ). I made the McLaren P1 MoC based on it, and that one is pretty dope as it has more interesting functions, but an absolute pain to build.

Would you happen to have links to the 911 MOCs? Mine is still in the box and I've been thinking about cracking it open when I have some time off.

Typewriter looks interesting, but i am still waiting for some news about that piano that got approved like 2? years ago.
Really sad that the Futurama set didnt make it!

That Seinfeld set is a hard pass.
The Home Alone set could be interesting if there are a lot of play features related to the traps in the movie.

I’m sure one of the various Discords can make a channel. There’s a general BSS discord, and then there’s a specific BSS Action figures discord, so it could fit easily on either.

Lego is a toy, there’s channels in there for other toys. Makes sense to me.

I mean, the hull pieces are huge, but that feels like it might be the worst price per piece set I’ve ever seen.

That looks like a single-piece hull. It says it floats, which usually means the lower hull at least is a single molded piece. Just a few larger pieces can really move the price-per-part ratio (like the Space Center from a few years ago), so a giant piece like that is going to ruin the ratio.
