Hello Lego thread. I completed my first ever Lego model today, beyond building random rocket cars with my cousin 20-odd years ago. It was my dad's 69th (nice) birthday this month, and my mum happened across the Fiat 500 kit online somehow. When I was a small child, dad drove this exact 500, colour and all, so we had to get it! We built it together over three afternoons and had a lovely time. I have no idea where it lands in terms of complexity for Lego broadly, but I was very impressed with how clear and manageable the instructions were. Thank goodness I'm (fingers crossed) moving to a different country within a month, because otherwise I'd be worried I'd start to spend more than is advisable on Lego.

Nice! I’d say that’s like mid level complexity? At the high end would be technic sets with gearboxes and stuff. Right above that would be a creator expert car that actually has steering like the Mustang. They probably have Lego in whatever country you’re moving to…

Heads up, the official Lego Shop has VIDIYO stuff for 30% off right now. Assuming it's part of the march to discontinuation, but if you've meant to pick any of them up for the minifigs or album covers, now is probably the time. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/vidiyo

I like trains generally but I don’t really see the appeal of the crocodile locomotive so I don’t think they are working too hard to make them good sellers.

I have nine Lego trains and I absolutely would buy more. As an aside, I'm accustomed to buying modular sets used and therefore doing a single pile build. That absolutely pales in comparison to buying 60lbs of Lego off Craigslist, identifying sets the person owned from some unique pieces, then trying to build a star wars ship by sitting through sixty pounds of pieces because you don't want to do the boring work of sorting it first.

Taste aside, the Crocodile locomotive has a very long history as a model train locomotive - even its nickname is used first ever in the Märklin (German model train producer) catalogues from 1933/34. (But to really be a crocodile, the Lego model should have been green.) So, from an European standpoint, the production of a Lego Crocodile locomotive makes sense. Personally, I like the model. But I would buy a good Shinkansen or a Big Boy or ... a.s.a.p., too! Loki Kunti fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Feb 21, 2022 |

The lifeguard shack is kinda cute, the log cabin looks nice, and I'd never be mad about more medieval stuff. Jaws set is cool but i guess ultimately it's just a boat and a shark, so not terribly exciting.

I would love the jaws set but the shark needs to be designed so you can put an oxygen tank in it's mouth and it pushes a button that makes it explode into pieces.

Jaws is the only one of those I would for sure buy. https://brickset.com/sets/4010-1/Police-Rescue-Boat That was one of my first sets and I remember pretending it was the boat from jaws while playing in the bath tub. I'd also buy Minas Tirith, but there's no way that's gonna happen.

I’m building the Super Mario Question Mark Block and it’s a hoot. It’s a little smaller than I expected but the engineering is clever and I like the little details and features. I’ve about 3/4 of the way through the build so far.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Universal also had a role in this, IIRC they are BTS’ publisher. The Vidyo debacle wasn’t good for both Lego and Universal, so maybe it’s also some kind of “we’re trying to make good”. …who am I kidding, it’s simply about the money.

I get the feeling their review process requires accepting at least one set with mass appeal because they want a guarantee it'll sell every single unit.

I feel very old that the only reason I know what BTK dynamite even is, is googling it when I first saw the ideas submission. And to this day I can't wrap my head around Korean boy bands being mainstream popular in the US.
