Did you just take Business 101 at community college or what? I'll just point out that no they didn't make a movie planning for it's failure and no matter how successful a movie is no one would be clamoring for sets and figures for it two years later. You seemed to really like the movie but are placing way too much importance on it.

There is 16 minis to a set, how I suppose to get them all if I don't buy a bunch


Holy crap, take some deep breathes. It's not like we are sneaking into the kids how and stealing their toys while they sleep.

I can't even count how many small kids I have helped find a certain mini figure they are looking for while looking for mine and my small cousins. Seeing them get excited to finally find the one they are looking for, the same way I would get excited when my parents would take me shopping and finding that one toy I wanted, warms my heart. Hell, even the kids parents are happy that their kid got the one they want also.

This is what I wanted it for too. Sadly, my orders at two different Targets were cancelled because they were out of stock.

I've got an extra Milhouse if you want to trade for the Mr Burns.

My TRU had one box but it was down to 7 bags. I didn't notice the non bending legs and thought Milhouse was Grandpa.

Really? I bought the 'first night' set because I was in a shop and liked how it looked, and it's just fine. Or are you talking about the micro sized sets?

Had all my Legos out today and asked my four year old what he wanted to build. Gonna need to work on his creativity, he responded with; "a shed"

Yeah the rest of it is pretty boring looking. I feel like stuff should be more different looking 30 years on. "Oh let's slap some black paint on our most iconic ships and call it a day," the New Republic and Imperial Remnant say.

I don't think they have to look anything alike. It's a more if a debate of who had the idea first. Intellectual property, which is a big deal these days apparently

I was under the impression that he built the fire house and his friend build the ecto 1. So, also his build.

I could be mistaken about that though. If it's not I'd agree that he has nothing to complain about.

I wasn't saying they're harmful or anything, I just don't see the point.

It does make sense that the Minecraft sets would help attract customers to LEGO. I've never played Minecraft myself, so that's probably why I'm missing something here.

Sure as heck played a lot of SimCity in my day, though.

If I bought a Lepin thing it would be exclusively to dump straight into the tub of real PURE legos and then pour the whole tub out together onto the bed and roll around in the glorious mixture.

To boost piece count/play features, they should also include a little lego therapist and couch build for all the therapy those poly minifigs are going to end up needing after things implode.

drat. I have no interest in that UCS Falcon whatsoever, but seeing it juxtaposed with all those other models really drives home the enormous difference in size and detail level in a way that no other image I've seen has.

The Stitch would have been neat, but I voted ISS.

Why, yes, I do have two Saturn Vs, a Lunar Module, like six different Shuttle variants, and three shelves packed to bursting of nearly every major Space kit Lego's ever made.

There's a little lego toilet in the Lego Treehouse, what other lego toilets have you built?

I agree. I think ideas needs more regulation. No digital submissions. If you can't be arsed to build it yourself, why should anyone vote for it?

Y'all are very kind, but a Patreon, to me, represents a serious commitment and promise to keep both production rate and quality at a level high enough to justify peoples' money. I hold myself to, like, a really fuckin' high standard and I could see myself burning out hard if I forced myself to work like that. I dunno.

That said, I was trying to think of a way to monetize this just enough that I could afford to build these latest cars. My idea was - and I could pitch this on Rebrickable maybe - somebody could "sponsor" a car (pay me $35 or so to cover the parts cost) and, in exchange, get access to all the instructions I've done so far? I have done $78 worth of instructions as according to my Rebrickable (plus all the free ones), so that feels like a fair offer? I wouldn't expect someone to necessarily want to build all those cars but I feel like there's still value in the instructions for build techniques and poo poo. I dunno. I'd just really like to get these latest few cars made, but I'm not trying to make a living off a hobby because that seems... not fun. I just gotta come up with a fair proposition for folks that doesn't feel like begging for donations.
