It's only 568 pieces! I believe it was around $120 when I bought it? That sticks out in my head as I had to earn the money and pay for it myself. I have all the other Unitron and Spyrius sets too, so I can't set up a full display if I wanted to, heh.

Covid is spiking hardcore right now, so I'd expect to see more sporadic stuff like that. The Lego store in the mall by my house has always randomly had a line outside since everything reopened.

I haven't built my Orchid yet, but the Bird of Paradise set sat behind me in my home office for years and have stared a ton at it in context on a shelf with no other Lego around, and it just looks like a plant. The silhouette, shapes, and colors are pretty much true to life.

I'd much rather go see/buy and build/design myself a city layout made from Lego City, Friends, and 3-in-1 sets (the houses and buildings often have alternative houses and buildings as their bonus builds so you could even double or triple up) than one made out of the modulars. I think the modulars are super nice, obviously, but the other stuff is just way more over the top and not as "fun".

Hot take: Lego lighting kits are cool, but they're even cooler when you exercise the restraint that the people designing them can never muster and only put in, like, half the lights.

I just ordered a bunch of replacement white pieces for the yellowing bits of my Deep Freeze Defender. Even then, some of the parts are only available in old yellowing versions. I did the hydrogen peroxide and UV light thing in 2020, but they're yellowing again already. I should try again but with actual UV lights instead of just using the sun.

DrChu posted:Do you really think a consumer level blacklight is going to be more powerful than the sun? No but there's probably a chance I can set up a proper 360-degree LED UV curing set up that would be more controllable and even than stuffing all the Legos into a mason jar and sticking it in my rain gutter for half a day. Plus I live in New England where the sun never shines for longer than an hour at a time.

Well, drat. That one's kind of pretty awesome. The part of me that really enjoyed the whole "infinity saga" part of the MCU but hasn't really found a ton of interest in much since kinda wants that as a display piece, heh.

I always thought that the chase and the surprise and the artificial rarity (it all is artificial), and the "blind" part of the blind bag was the whole point of the model.

EL BROMANCE posted:What kind of price do people charge for shipping those sets, I really want them too. The lack of that has put me off using the site as I have no idea how much they’re going to charge, and you don’t see the price until you’ve essentially committed to buying right? It's hit or miss. I've gotten small sets shipped for $10 from Europe to US, but also I've had people want to charge a lot. You kinda have to browse a bit.

Olive green is a very very common "naturalist" color in the US, super common in forestry, conservation, national parks, outdoor recreation, nature studies, geology, etc., never mind the connections to various uniforms for scouting, outdoorsman orgs, armies, civil corps, etc. It's a perfect color for a general Smalltown America Natural History Museum, which I guess is unfortunate if you dislike olive green, heh.
