    This might be the first Lego set I ever try to get early. I own a red Strat and it's the same guitar I've been using for the last 10 years. I'd love to have this atop my amp. I'm just a little disappointed they couldn't print/put stickers for the volume and tone knobs to have it stand out from the surrounding studs, but it shouldn't be too hard to print my own labels.

    Well, my local Target had 3 so I did end up grabbing the Winnie the Pooh set, though I'm not gonna build it till I finish my Mega Construx TMNT Technodrome. Gives me incentive to finish that build.

    Picked up 6 of the new MCU minifigs today. The capes don't come in the little boxes anymore. I basically got them for free from Kohls; after buying a couple sets, I got $30 in Kohls cash. I had the store pick them, and the only dupe I got was zombie Cap (if I would have picked, all 6 would have been the same).

    So I built this over the weekend since I was in the mood to build some Lego kits. I don't collect the Monkie Kid series, but loved the look of them in the store. This one caught my eye since I loved the design being a noodle bowl (reminded me of saimin bowls in Hawaii) and a robot tank! I so HAD to get it for my collection since it just screams "me".

    I absolutely love the build in person. There is so much going on it isn't even funny. The bowl part has lots of serving space and random ingredients, utensils, and equipment (the printed clear piece is seriously awesome). There is a noodle plate launching fridge attached to one arm and the other has the awesome pig looking blaster with carrot gun and random fish missile. I even love the panda looking robots (the bigger one has a swivel head where one is an angry face and the other is a happy face). Now I really need to watch the show to see what is going on with this set. Even if I don't watch it, the whole thing is just awesome.

    Submarine----so in if it's realistic. But I'm expecting something more like a smaller version of this:

    I'd expect moreso some variation on "submersible", and not so much "U-Boat".

    Viking Longship sounds interesting!

    If somebody could take pictures of the noodle shop with any or all of the Hibotchi Heats when it gets released, that’d be great.

    Been working on these for the past few days to beef them up and make them bigger from the original stock instruction builds (Demolition set and Cement Mixer Truck sets, respectively).

    20210908_175304_copy_1008x756.jpg

    I'll probably replace the shovel on the front loader with a larger one while I made the cement truck an 8-stud wide build instead of 6, and added some extra details while I was at it (like the side ladders on the front loader and the rear upper portion on the mixer).

    Now 31131 sounds like something out of Naruto.

    The tiger, dolphin/turtle, sub, mech and buggy sound interesting!

    Found a set I'm gonna pick up sometime:

    I would have gotten it but I only have so much and am still looking for Rhinox.

    Mario ? Block set looks lame to me (the actual block looks great). Like the engineering is neat but there are far better things I can drop $200 on in Canada. Micro builds are cool freebies but not something I’d want to spend money on. Also these blocks don’t appear in Mario 64. Seems like there is something hidden in the bottom.

    Also what’s with the pricing?

    ? Block $170 USD or 200 CDN
    Tumbler is $230 USD or $330 CDN

    WTF?

    The Mario Question Block looks very cool from a design engineering standpoint but it's not something that personally interests me as a purchase so I won't be picking that up.

    The Santa Visit cottage looks fantastic and is a definite buy, however. Love how it came out and tis the season very soon! It and the Gingerbread House would be awesome together.
