    Anyone else get the sudden realization that their tables are too small to fit this?

    So I ordered a few things this week.

    Whomping Willow off Amazon.ca for 22% off.
    Hogwarts Expressive off TRU.ca for 15% off.
    Graveyard Hidden Side set and 7 HP Minifigs off LEGO S@H.
    Desert Pokey and Blind Bag Mario from TRU for another free Mushroom Poly.

    Bricktober starts with a bang. Will it continue? We shall have to wait and see what next weekend brings us.

    So, another large Ninjago mech, and another Superheroes (Thor) power armour?

    Also, Ninjago mech looks like it might actually have knee articulation this time, as the knees don't look like they're both bent to the same degree. Although that might just be the low quality image, and creative use of uneven ground lending itself to that illusion.

    For a fraction of a fraction of a second, I thought that Ninjago mech was a Constraction set...

    Way too many. I think it looks awful.

    Boring.

    Hurray! These mechs are the dumbest shit I've ever seen!

    Wow, that sounds interesting- wait, 4+. So an Iron Man minifig, Thanos minifig, and a boring build.

    Please no.




    I hated that comic.

    What the fuck.

    What the fuck.

    Oooh, I'm not going to buy it.

    Disappointing.

    Zane's large mech is a Legacy remake of this (cartoon version for comparison), I hope they also plan to make the 4-armed ghost mech from that same set:

    Whereas the hammer, yeah it's from this:
    76169 Thor Mech – 9,99€ – Feb 2021

    while the Cap mech will give us a large dish with cap's shield printed onto it.

    I had my suspicions that was the case. That mech was a cool model, and having an entire set dedicated to it should make it even better (more detail, etc.). Also agreed on the Ghost Mech!

    I’ve been holding out for double points on the Devastator and Barracuda Bay. Any GWP during this time? I may hold one back to get the Christmas Story GWP in November (?)

    re: the leaks - fortunately, nothing major I’m interested in.

    any word on when Sesame Street is supposed to hit?

    Hmmm..

    Another X-Wing, TIE and more Microfighters for the Star Wars set.. I'm actually more interested in the Imperial Shuttle set this time and the minfigs.

    I was just about to post this as it was announced this past Friday. I think this review is the better one, but no Count from what I read in the comments.



    However according to TalkBricks channel timestamp 3:12 the Count is there.

    holy cow - they really juniorized the submission. The figures look great but I’m really bummed by that build.

    I'm bummed none of the human characters are in the set. Hopefully the scaled down-ness of the final set means they're doing a full Sesame Street line with more sets and characters to come.
