If it makes anyone feel any better, the company has already budgeted in the overhead for pieces replacement and all other support issues. They already know about how much replacing they'll have to do. Edit: As far as their books are concerned, you already requested those replacements, so you might as well actually do it. mutata fucked around with this message at 02:07 on Dec 1, 2023 |

Wanna change this thing from NCC-Enterprise to NCC-Paladin, just started pulling ideas out of my rear end to mod it but no real execution, head lore is a full ship of the line (Armor n Guns baby!) No idea what numbers I’d use or that’d make sense since I’m not a Trekkie I've used Millionprints a couple times: A full set of Shuttle alt prints  And a set of Galaxy Explorer altbuild model # prints  It's good work, and he did the work of sourcing the right fonts and logos and doing the positioning and everything. I just said what I wanted, included some examples, and had the pieces a few weeks later.

Borsche69 posted:I've had missing parts just because I moved or my nephews came over and either dropped something into a black hole or grabbed a little five finger discount. And Lego has always been more than willing to facilitate any requests. Likely because they take one look at my account and think 'oh this guy is a whale. yeah. give it to him' but also more likely that it is just good business sense to send someone like 30 cents worth of pieces in good faith 30 cents worth of pieces? Have you been claiming entire set boxes were empty?

I kinda like the CaDA solar system more than the Lego one, even if "base of a bunch of generic brown bricks" is most of the reason why https://decadastore.com/products/solar-system-c71004w https://twitter.com/Boco_T/status/1705985509980361154

Dogen posted:I think I've had three missing or screwed up pieces in the last decade. The last one I just had was weird since there was an improperly sealed bag, I think the part slid out before the box was closed- there were some parts just loose in the box but only one missing. Also it was a brand spankin new minifig part so it took a little bit to get to me, like a week (the website tells you if a part is like, out of stock or whatever, so was expected). I ended up with 6 missing pieces and a misprinted instruction booklet with 31070 a few years ago. I thought I had lost my loving mind trying to track down pieces. It's the only time I know for certain that it wasn't my fault when I came up short on a set.

I really want a 2002 Turbo or an E30, but we probably won't get them. Similar to racing games where car companies want to push their modern cars rather than their classic favorites.

I doubt you’ll ever see an E46 for that reason but BMW at least likes to promote its heritage by licensing things like the 2002 or E30 EVO. Is this their first speed champions set? Maybe something better is coming. Also lol at the Audi S1 E we got the group B Quattro who cares. Put out an R8 at least you could put Tony Stark in it I guess

drat none of those Speed Champs interest me whatsoever. Way too loving busy or way too boring. New BMW design language has been atrocious for years, make the good looking older models god dammit Lego. The stickers on the Mustang are hilariously bad, they stand out SO much.

Is the Kawasaki H2 meant to be in the same scale as the big BMW and Yamaha, or the regular scale like the Ducati Panigale? Either way I ain't really about it cause I think the H2R is ugly as sin and I could wish they'd done the Z900RS. (Or that the Yamaha was the XSR900.)

I think you're all wildly overestimating the actual financial impact of any harry potter boycott. Hogwarts legacy sold 15 million copies up to May. If Lego weren't making any money on harry potter sets they'd stop pumping them out. There's (unfortunately) many people who don't give a poo poo about Rowling's opinions and still like harry potter way too much. The recent films tanking is a lot more to do with them being poo poo, mismanaged and plagued with acting issues. Edit: I live and work in the EU and many of my (adult) students still love harry potter and see going to the studio experience as an essential part of any trip to the UK, and plenty of them have had kids who have been raised into it even though they weren't born when the last book was released. None of them give a poo poo or have even heard about her TERFiness. Butterfly Valley fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Dec 2, 2023 |

A fourth Fantastic Beasts movie is "parked." Which I guess means not in actively development, but not ruled out permanently. https://screenrant.com/fantastic-beasts-4-updates-story-plans-cast/ But there's a reboot TV show in the works. https://www.tvguide.com/news/harry-potter-tv-series-max/ We'll have to wait and see I guess. I'm not really into Harry Potter so  gently caress transphobes, btw.
