The townhouse side of the Book Shop is a good build with some neat techniques (the bay windows, the stairs, the roof) but it feels a storey too short. The official video even showed an extended version.

Which modular has an empty room that’s being painted? I thought that was both clever and cheeky.

Is anyone else having trouble with the Lego tracking right now? I placed an order 4 days ago and I keep getting the message "Sorry, tracking is currently unavailable
Please try again later.
Allow up to 24hrs after dispatch for information to display."

I believe that was the Pet Store. It also had a bunch of cardboard boxes (because someone was halfway through moving in?)

If it's being shipped by USPS, there have been issues with their tracking numbers recently. They've suddenly gotten really long and our system gets confused by them and can't track them. We can still see them in the order system manually, though. If you contact customer service, they can take a look and probably give you the tracking number, if that is the issue.

It's been pretty quiet lately, you'll probably get through to someone on chat or phones straight away.

I get the Informed Delivery email every day and I usually get a heads up as soon as something gets put into the system to be shipped to me. I can definitely check though, thank you!

edit: tracking number was missing the last 4. It still isn't on my Informed Delivery, but I can see that it is on the way from Illinois to NY. Thanks!

It's definitely not the one from the Batcave, so we can pretty much call that "guns confirmed" for the standalone one.

Is that L-shaped piece with the curved cutout that's used for each wing new for this set or has that been used somewhere before?

The 4x4 with a cutout? It's been around for the last few years.

Yeah, nvm. I was looking at the first image on my phone, and the seams were practically invisible so that entire chunk looked like one piece.

A bit expensive but at least it's available outside of the shoebox.

Nice. Weirdly a slightly different build than the one from the other set. Looks good though (scrambles to sell the GWP version asap)

Aye, that's where they've been living, in flat tubs under a bed. Problem is that the tubs get obscenely heavy pretty quickly. I'm beginning to think a filling cabinet may actually be the solution? That or I have to start letting go.

Milk crates are the perfect volume-to-carry weight containers for dense things like books and such. It's hard to find something heavy enough that a milk crate's worth volume is too heavy for either the crate or the average person carrying it. Plus if you're some beefcake strongman, they are made to be stacked and carried while stacked.

I alternate the sides with the staples when I stack them, seems to keep them more level and prevents that sag somewhat.
