I’ll buy the typewriter as well as the piano. They bend expectations a bit as far as what Lego can do. Seinfeld seemed likely enough and I’ll get it to go with TBBT and will go back and get Friends. the Home Alone house came out of left field. Figured that didn’t stand a chance. This is one I really hope they polish a bit, but if they do, I’ll get it for sure. The submission is solid but it lacks a little flourish/life to it and I expect the final product will be better in that regard.
Cool! I'm glad that someone can add them to their collection. The typewriter looks really interesting and cool, just didn't know if anybody would buy it. Now I do and hopefully you can give your input on it when you do get it.
I'll be buying the typewriter, but I'm also a writer by day so picking this set up fits right in my wheelhouse. It's also worth noting that I'm very curious to see how well the retail version captures the engineering of the fan made model. The other two sets are a pass for me, though.
I don't really care for those sitcom sets myself. For the Seinfeld set though, it would be a really neat easter egg if they were able to include a Superman microfig, with a number of built-in hiding spots scattered throughout the set to stash it in.
Typewriter's cool, but not something I feel compelled to spend money on. Bionicle on the other hand is a day one purcha- oh, wait.
I'm disappointed that the Futurama set didn't make the cut. That's the only one I was interested in. Oh well, I guess the universe doesn't revolve around me after all. HA!
I'm a fan of Seinfeld but that's a weird choice the McAllister house could be a fun toy if they make it big enough, like 4000 pieces+
To be honest, the winners from this round are pretty boring. I don’t have a burning desire to own any of them like I do with Barracuda Bay. The selections from this round seem a bit random. Was there a big demand for more sitcom sets? I figured the Bionicle set had a better chance at winning.
I was really rooting for Futurama too (awesome animated sitcom? check. crazy sci-fi spaceship? check.). So much so that the actual picks just feel so underwhelming. Probably will pass on all of them TBH, unless the Home Alone set looks good as just another Winter Village themed set piece. I have no nostalgia for the film (even though I was "of age" when it came out, like most of us).
I am making a MOC out of the Pirate Bay set. Buildings are more rectangle with more stairs and more room between buildings. Decoration like plants will be added later to give it the original set feeling.
"What a lovely day!" This is my MOC of the Doof Wagon from Mad Max: Fury Road. Features opening cabin with room for two, 4 drummers at the rear, and the Doof Warrior on his stage.
If anyone is interested, a good in depth review on the Crocodile Locomotive 10277 dated two days ago.
I've always wanted that SDCC Bizarro figure, might burn at least enough VIP points for one entry, ugh!
