    Being an 80s kid, I love classic Space, Castle and Pirates.

    Flashback 1984: my older brother had the Black Falcons Knight's Castle and I had the Crusader King's Castle. We had outrageous amounts of fun with those 2 sets (and a bunch of smaller ones).
    We both still have a few mounted knights and foot soldiers that survived in good condition.
    Unfortunately what's left of the grey pieces of the castles has colour changed/yellowed over the years.

    My Pirate collection is in outstanding condition though, and I bought up what I didn't have/wanted from 89/91 in the early 00s.
    LOVE the old Pirates.

    Most of the summer marvel sets accidentally got sold at a store in the UK so brickset posted pics. Somehow I didn’t know there was an infinity gauntlet “bust”, but damn if I don’t want it! It looks terrific.

    I've never gotten any of the busts or display models but I'd definitely be into picking up the gauntlet!

    I can hear the roars just by looking at the photos.

    Fantastic job.

    Later in the day news, an all new Benatar is also on the way. Apparently 1,901 pieces and will retail for €149.99. The 2018 version of the Benatar was 674 pieces so this is going to be significantly larger. I'll be tempted to pick that one up, I got the two Milanos when they were clearanced out before but I skipped the 2018 one.

    i don’t know why, but I’ve never latched onto this ship like I did the Milano. I’d take a UCS Milano, honestly, but they’ll never go back and make it.

    Hey, guys. I don’t mean to switch the subject, but I just want to share a LEGO Ideas project that I made.

    I don’t know if I’m allowed to share product ideas in this thread, but I’ve created a Powerpuff Girls 1998 project to celebrate the original series’ 25th anniversary in 2023.

    The Powerpuff Girls: Utonium Residence - 25th Anniversary

    BBE16B20-C99F-44ED-BF50-269FF184EDFB.jpeg

    And yes, I’m aware that LEGO has already done The Powerpuff Girls sets before, but those products were mostly based on the 2016 reboot. However, this project is solely based on the original 1998 TV series that we all know and love.

    Oh, and I’m also planning to add more characters like Fuzzy Lumpkins and HIM in project updates. So please stay tuned!

    Care to check it out, guys? Let me know what you think of it!

    Miles better than the original. The only thing the original has over this is the pod.

    I mean honestly same here, I skipped the Benatar because I was kind of "meh" about it.

    But look at this. I SAID LOOK.

    I think the higher piece count really helps to make the starship design shine.

    I've never been much into Marvel sets in general (I love the MCU but somehow most of the sets are just "meh" to me) but I love a good spaceship, or unique vehicle.

    Iron Monger's a bit goofy looking, but I've waited so long that I have to get it. Luckily it seems to use a similar design to the most recent Hulkbuster, so it should be easy to modify in a similar fashion.
