Most of the adult focused sets are sold out or back ordered 60 days right now. I need a couple modulars and Barracuda Bay as well.
Yeah, I hadn’t been checking, but you’re right.... I guess people need something to keep them busy during shelter-in-place, haha.
I believe it's a supply chain issue due to the current pandemic. Production at many places only just recently started back up. It'll take some time to ramp up production back to what it was before, unfortunately. Just have to be patient. I don't think Lego has released anything stating that these problems will affect when stuff gets selected for permanent retirement, so that's good. Exactly. It's the same reason why bicycles are back in fashion and sales of bikes have gone through the roof. Demand has outstripped supply at the moment. I also plan to pick up the Pirates of Barracuda Bay set once it comes back into stock. The Haunted House looks great but I have no room for it or Fairgrounds stuff, sadly (definitely no space for the Roller Coaster set).
Just posted my review for the Haunted House REVIEW | Creator Expert 10273 Haunted House Pretty good set, it's another well-functioning ride for the fairground collection- though I feel the Adventurers references are cool at first, but once you get over the nostalgia, you really it's not really "Haunted," and a bit lacking overall
There's your answer @Scarlet knight. If your going to get it, then make sure that you have a very deep wallet for that one!
You really hit the nail on the head in terms of the packaging. When the pictures of the box were revealed, I was convinced it was a MOC. It’s a shame that the house isn’t as haunted as it could be. The design makes for a decent fairground ride, but I’m not paying $250 for a flawed elevator mechanism that I’d have to keep readjusting. If I ignore the references to other sets, there’s not as much drawing me in. (The olive green is nice, but there’s plenty of Lego sets out there with good color schemes.) After seeing your review, I wish that this set had gotten some more fine tuning. I have mixed feelings about the ghosts. On one hand, they do a good job of making the figures look like two theme park employees in costumes. On the other hand, I agree with you that the previous ghost mold looked so much better. Now I’m hoping that Hidden Side gets a haunted house in its lineup next year, especially since it’s getting a haunted castle this summer. All of the references in this set make me want a revival of Adventurers and/or Fright Knights. We’ve had revivals of other series (Castle 2007) and thematically similar series (Pharaoh’s Quest). As much as I like this set’s design and the Adventurers references, I think I’ll pass on it. The Monster Fighters haunted house looks a lot more haunted and sells for a lot cheaper.
There's a rumor saying in 2021 there will be a Lego Tie Bomber. Not sure where from, I just hope it's the one from Solo and that it will contain L3-37 minifigure.
New tie bomber would be awesome. I’ve been collecting since 2010 and it’s crazy they haven’t done one since before that.
Lego has made at least three versions of the B-wing and one for the USC lineup. The Y-Wing was done at least 10 times (I think) and one for the UCS. It seems like the Y-Wing is the most common Rebel fighter that's been picked up with the X-Wing and A-Wing closely behind. I do like the B-Wing, but it's not wildly picked up do to it's odd construction and maintenance factor to the Rebel mechanics if they're upkeeping it.
Yeah that Y-Wing number seems really high. And I totally don't believe there has been more than X-Wings. There is seemingly 1-2 new X-Wings every year for the past 5-6 years due to the sequel trilogy, but I only remember a couple Y-Wings in that time.
