    OMG there's a brown classic spaceman with a baby spaceman! Yup I need that one definitely no questions. Only other ones I'd be interested in is the Ork and the Black Falcon bird lady.

    I'd take literally any other color than basic brown, for a new spaceman. Even dark brown. (PURPLE would be the best, and probably dark green or aqua after that)

    Being CMF, with a bit higher budget---this would be the best opportunity to do a metallic silver or gold suit.

    Farmed the parts from a Lego Supra on sale & the challenger from a couple years ago. That yellow is bright!

    I want about half of them...Space Man with little Space Baby, The Org thing in the back row and maybe the ray gun guy and the Koala Zookeeper.

    I got it for my wife and built most of it too. It's a good build and looks great!

    Having just seen the first in hand review courtesy of JB Spielwaren on YouTube (reposted below) they seem mostly pretty decent.

    Even the weakest few figs on offer here (carrot, generic robot, rocking horse kid?) are certainly no worse than weaker entries in earlier series and come with useful accessories in any case (e.g: garden market sign, rocking horse etc.)

    Def. seems a return to form for blind bag CMF, imho. Lot of new animal figs thrown in to boot. :)

    I'm definitely in for brown Classic Spaceman with space baby, along with the Black Falconer. I plan to army build the Orc warrior, especially with the Ideas D&D set now being an actual thing.

    **sigh**

    I ordered an Mos Eisley Cantina from Amazon.ca on Black Friday for $360 instead of $500.

    Received the box yesterday and opened it to find the Sanctum Sanctorum which is $310 full price in Canada. I’m worried when I send it back they will be like this isn’t what you ordered and keep the set and my money. I also do not want this set at all. From now on I’ll stick to getting sets like this from LEGO directly.

    How did that happen? I mean was it directly from Amazon or was it a third party seller, because I have no idea who would think that's what you ordered.

    Seriously hope you can sort this out, especially at those prices.

    2023 NINJAGO sets revealed!
    New Ninjago sets for 2023. And I gotta say, some of those look damn good. Really like Cole's Dragon.

    May need to go back and pick up the other EVO Dragons. Wouldn't mind having a full set of Dragons for each team member.

    I wasn't going to get CMF Series 23 but saw a sale on the 6 packs so I got one to see. Of course 5 out of 6 are the ones I don't really want at all so now I'll have to order another box to see how my luck goes.

    Agreed about Cole's Earth Dragon although I plan to raid that set for parts, especially the large downward curved horn pieces to upgrade my MOC D&D black dragon. Those parts are the perfect pieces for it, even if I would've preferred them coming in white or tan color instead of gold.

    annoyed at how much of a nicer build that Hulkbuster is compared to the Infinity War and AOE ones I picked up (amused how much nicer it looks than those two large collector ones though). That is the most likely pick for me. Quinjet is gorgeous but... will probably pass on it as I am happy with the Quinjet I have. Nice to see Lego include a stand, and I can appreciate for people quite into the Avengers movie who did not get the original sets that this is a cool release.

    Ninjago has plenty of good stuff there, definitely getting that sleek mech of Jay's and I think Nya's dragon makes a cute baby to go with the bigger ones.

    Marvel’s looking pretty good, but I’m so burned out on that property right now. Hulkbuster looks great, and I’d consider it. Though I do find it a bit ironic that the arguably best Hulkbuster we’ve gotten doesn’t come with Iron Man.

    Quinnjet looks cool, but man how I’d kill for a UCS-style version of that aircraft. This new one seems to have a much thicker fuselage than the in-universe model

    Saw Brickset has been uploading images of 2023 sets to their database.

    Monkie Kid: 2023 | Monkie Kid
    Creator: Creator | 2023
    Technic: 2023 | Technic

    And more, so might be worth taking a look depending on what you're interested in. I assume they'll post articles once all/most sets are revealed (EDIT: article has been posted), but it's cool to see some of what's coming. I'm particularly liking the small Monkie Kid mech.
