I like the new colors and I think the people complaining are being overly sensitive after the last move. Also, I can't wait until my nephew is old enough for me to build sets with him. When I ordered the 3-in-1 castle I bought a second because I wanted to have both the castle and an alternative, but then decided to leave the second in the box for when my nephew is old enough. Then I got some points to spend on lego on our equivalent of amazon and I bought the 3-in-1 pirate ship for him. They'll be sitting in a closet for a couple of years but in like 3 or 4 yours he's going to have the best birthday ever.

e: No pets, sorry, so here's a lego pet for the new page:

Everyone is still sore after the move to the finance forum, which was really dumb and annoying because speculators/investors are... pretty unpopular in many LEGO communities. So after that dumbass move, I don't think folks are super excited for it to move again so soon, even if it is to a much better place.
Nobody in BFC speculates in lego, there were some jokey posts about money stuff because that's what you do when a thread migrates into an unrelated forum and BFCers are chill(er than the lego thread). The Lego thread should not be moved again, though, because there is clearly a contingent of posters who have some Legos stuck up their rear end about it.

the best way to know byob is to experience byob. go browse through the first page, or better yet, make an introductory post for yourself or simply make a post asking what byob is. you won't suffer any negative consequences for curiosity.

BYOB isn't a forum it's a state of mine. Imagine all your buds are over having a cool brewski and one of them just told a great joke and another one is pulling pizza rolls out of the oven. Those pizza rolls? That's BYOB.

That dolphin set is super and has many really good alt builds on Rebrickable.

The small chicken set (polybag) is also awesome, the chicks could be better but the chicken is a very solid pleasing shape.

Might order one of those myself for the parts.

If you can get hold of it, the easter chicks (with opening eggs) GWP from last year is one of my favorite sets of the year, too.

Good to hear. It actually went out of stock before being delivered, I'll keep trying like with galaxy explorer

You got 5 hours to grab this deal.

Big Bowser, 30% off. Smashing deal for a set of this size.

If you call Target, you can probably get it price matched. I wouldn't recommend online chat as they seem to be less able to do it.

I have some notes.
Ausgoons, target has the usual 20% off at the moment but there's also some clearance sets at 75% off (The Batman, Avatar, some of the Mario sets) and there's an additional $10 discount if you give their newsletter a burner email.

this is better than the dachshund in the dog set they just released (which is what i sent my sister as a quick gift post pregnancy lol). are there any mocs for this? my sister and my parents both have dascshunds so this has been something in the back of my mind for a minute. that looks like a cool build and i haven't seen really good snoots built out in lego but i think i prefer that over lego's version

i think people just dont want change. which sounds insane when you put it to the lego thread where legos are about building and rebuilding and the like. but, again, this is the second time in a couple of months that the thread has gotten moved around which, when we're all old and slow, and want to keep things at a consistent pace, its not ideal.

im not even a regular poster i just liked checking in on the thread and only started posting in it recently. my worthless opinion is just to keep it byob. or bfc. or hch. just keep it somewhere for a minute. i dont have anything against moving threads as a goof but doing it repeatedly feels weird unless its the total purpose of that thread. like the wanderer byob/gws thread

I think I've said this before but Fabulands are the best Legos, and they should bring them back. Also the original (or second after the original? I'm not a Lego historian) Lego geezers with articulated and potentially infinite-length arms.

e: these ones:



We used to get in fights over which way the lady geezers' wigs go on. According to the photo there, either way :eyepop: (The box was long gone.)

That's not Fabuland, though. Fabuland was the early 80's theme with the anthropomorphic animal minifigs.
