Shuttle and Hubble? Fantastic. I don't really buy sets any more, just parts. But this I'll get. I regretted missing the last time they did the shuttle.

I really wish the shuttle wasn't as sticker heavy as it appears to be (that's by far my least favorite part of the Lunar Lander), but that certainly won't stop me from picking it up. I remember the extremely dumb backlash to the rumors that Lego might be removing police sets last summer, so it's not surprising to me that they're not complaining about virtue signaling over the astronaut.

That shuttle is definitely a Day 1 buy for me, especially since they went with the NASA Worm logo. For those who know this stuff better than me, will it go on sale on the website April 1 at 12:01am EDT, or how does that work? I'm just afraid that it will sell out too quickly for us on the Best Coast if we have to wait until midnight our time. (I also plan to spend the VIP points to get the Ulysses probe. I can never have too much space stuff.)

The shuttle is one of two remaining white whales for me, the other one being the 8880 Supercar.

Sales have been tapering off anyway so it's not a huge loss. It is unexpected that the printer would have been the reason for me to have to stop selling. That printer is about a decade old or a few years past that so it's been a good run. Anyone have good printer suggestions?

A Windows update came out in the last couple of days that hosed up printing for loads of people and then there was a fix that wouldn't install for everybody, something like that. Look into that before buying another printer.

In addition to my recently rekindled Lego habit for Star Wars, my parents FINALLY got both shots and felt safe to visit, which included stuff for my kid, but also for the kid in me - my old Lego. I have some of the M-Tron stuff, some space police, some Robin Hood stuff, and various Knights sets. I think I have all the parts, but no instructions or boxes, so figuring out which set is which is going to involve a fair bit of Google. Who needs a new blacksmith?  I wonder if the glow in the dark robin hood ghost still glows.

Spookydonut posted:hnnnnnnnnnnnggggg the shuttle, my wallet says no but my eyes say yes Same. It looks fantastic and I'm only back in the LEGO game for the space stuff, but 179€ seems expensive, especially compared to the Saturn. For that money, I could grab the ISS and the Lunar Lander and still have a few bucks left.

davebo posted:But, the article that links to specifically states $59.99? Is it? The walmart link page to buy it briefly popped up for me before going to a 404 and they had it listed as $94.98 which is wal mart pricing for 99 msrp. If it actually $60 that is a solid price. Might have just been a placeholder price. I have seen SW sets with nearly that bad of a price per part so it wasn't surprising. tomapot posted:Oh good, I like to check my Star Wars excitement against Veni’s reaction.

I dunno, I'm only quoting that bricklinks article. If they're reporting bad info that's in them.Carbohydrates posted:Oh, $60 is chill then. You know, I just believed $100 without confirming it because it's not like that's radically outside the purview of LEGO Star Wars. Sir I don't know what you're on about! *rips open bag 6 of his $800 nostalgia bait*
