Taeke posted:Got an email at 1.30am that the Horizon set was back in stock (in the Netherlands) and got out of bed to order it, and I saw this morning that my order was confirmed! They do pre-orders for almost all new sets way cheaper than Lego. I got the Tallneck for 68 euros a day after the original release date. Right now they take pre-orders for a bunch more sets including Optimus Prime for 142 euros. Thats 30 bucks cheaper than Lego.com.

Skios posted:That 1x1 stud with the small Ferrari logo on the side has been used in two other Speed Champions Ferrari sets, 75890 (2019) and 76895 (2020). Interestingly, both the earlier sets have both the standard 1x1 red plate and the printed version. I guess this is some sort of optimisation in the packaging process. I'm just grateful we don't have to sticker those bits. Looking forward to the next Botanicals set with Ferrari printed frogs

I just finished building the Sonic set and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Hell of a lot more fun than any of the Mario builds.

When I was a kid everyone loved stickers you get a sticker book and you put your stickers in it and you trade stickers with your friends but I look in here and it’s just everyone bitching about stickers like they’re bad what happened to you

when you're a kid you don't really care how straight your stickers go on. really we should just go back to that, blindly slap stickers on lego sets and bask in the results

Every now and then you screw one up and it's annoying but usually putting them on is easy. Tbh I feel like 90% of it is people feeling like prints drive up the collectability of their sets and 10% is actually the peril of stickers. Although it really is kind annoying I guess, like you can absolutely whale on some $200-$800 set and get a sticker sheet while some random $20 set get multiple elaborate, exclusive prints and idgi. The only stickers I'm really sick of is canopies for cockpits and windshields and stuff. just print those. Star Wars UCS is especially bad about this. The X-Wing has this hideous trans/print sticker that makes the windscreen part look like rear end, Snowspeeder and A Wing have 3-5 stickers on one part, The Y Wing just reuses the printed system scale y wing and has you put more stickers on it (that set should have had a new windscreen)... Bu then its like hey heres a cheap set we did this print for it

Is there a set time these new releases drop? Hoping to pick up the Starry Night set but I don't know when I need to be looking. Edit: nvm, it went live for me at midnight PST. Harvey Baldman fucked around with this message at 08:23 on May 25, 2022 |

After the mess with the Tallneck, I decided to take no chances and stay up to order the Starry Night at midnight. I assumed that it would become available at midnight GMT +1, but it wasn't until 1:05 AM (five past midnight, GMT). It feels really erratic as to when exactly sets go on sale.

I'm also in Europe and I was waiting for the Tallneck at midnight of the release day and I can tell you that the Tallneck also went online at 1 AM CEST. It seems that this is consistent at least for now.

I hate stickers because my kid rips his sets apart after building them, then rips off the stickers too. The downside though is pieces like that spy shark, he refuses to ever use Do you think the starry night set will still be available for order around Christmas? Wondering if I should get it for my spouse or not and don't want to decide yet.

My hands shake from age and substance abuse when I was younger and anxiety when I was still this age. Painting models is out of the question, which is why I enjoy Lego so much now. Kinda wish I had picked two different kits to start with though (the McLaren was first) Even with everything working against me, the only crooked sticker is on the front of the McLaren, under the nose so you can barely tell. There was one sticker on the back of the Ferrari that didn't make it on, but it is very thin and completely unnoticeable. It feels like I picked the entirely wrong kits and it still turned out well, despite my best efforts.

Unless it's out of stock, sure! Unless it's some limited seasonal item, like an advent calendar or something, almost everything is around for like a year and a half or more.

I have these meories as a kid of running my thumb over stickers that are peeling on the edges and it's awful. Like those explorians with the dino fossles never stuck. The holo on the dishes though did so lego is a land of contrasts.

Anyone in here run a bricklink store? I need to downsize a little bit and I'm curious how miserable the experience is. I don't have anything rare or in demand.. just need to figure out the easiest way to offload unwanted sets and am curious how fast stuff tends to move.

If you have any licensed sets/modulars you can put them on Facebook marketplace and they'll likely be gone within a week, and possibly don't need to ship either.

Lizard Combatant posted:Do Brickheads always use prints? I have use for those bits on Vader if so. Re: stickers, I just dislike them ideologically. I have no issue actually doing stickers during a build, it's whatever. But it clashes with what LEGO is trying to be. If you move some pieces around on a set, it's not wrong, it's just different. Customized, or a MOC even. That's good! You can put pieces together however you want and that's OK. Stickers, however, can be placed incorrectly. It can even ruin them. That just kinda sucks, and is antithetical to the LEGO play experience. I don't sit here and rally too hard against stickers, but on a super deluxe premium product, it's definitely preferable to get prints. I know they cost more. I'm willing to pay it.

VaultAggie posted:Getting strong Krennic Shuttle vibes off that Inquisition vehicle, which rules. My thoughts exactly. I missed Krennic's shuttle because I took a temporary leave of my sense when it came to Rogue One lego sets, deciding I wasn't interested, but got lucky later managing to get a basically new U-Wing for €25. This should hopefully fill that 'black shuttle' void.
