    It's so weird to think Ninjago has been around long enough to get commemorative sets based on its first sets. I feel like Ninjago is basically an "evergreen" property now like City.

    I remember every few years hearing that Star Wars was to be retired (first in 2007, then 2011) but I don't see that happening for the foreseeable future.

    I was never into Ninjago, but some of the Nexo Nights stuff looked neat. But I miss things like Power Miners and Aqua Raiders and Mars Mission.

    This looks great! I wish they broke up the Rex and Cody helmets into 2 different releases due to the similarities but at least this is adding variety to the group.

    With how few themes are eligible for the Bionicle GWP, I've only been able to find a couple of combinations of items I've been interested in that would put me over the $95 threshold. I figure it would be better to order online than try braving my local Lego store, but how does getting GWP's online work? I've only ever done it in stores before

    Should just automatically appear in your cart when you add enough qualifying items.

    Some new spaceships or other exotic vehicles would be very nice, yes. Ninjago just takes up a lot of real estate in terms of mechs, planes, weird tanks and so on. I guess that's at least pretty nice because some of the vehicles are cool but it would be good to see lines with a style of their own.

    Looks like it, and sounds like it could be pretty fun! There was a leak with set numbers and part counts for a theme codenamed "Titan." Based on Skreeonk's description, they seem to match up with the Titan set codenames (one of the sets was codenamed "Sharkship," and another was "Carrot" which could be the blue bunny mech).
    Also, I agree with your other post. I miss Lego's original IPs. Wish we'd see more of them... Power Miners, Space Police, Galaxy Squad. All such cool themes.

    Anyone else build theirs yet? Is your eyes aligned. Tried switching both but no matter ones "off".

    Might see if I can get a replacement eye.

    UPDATE: browsing Reddit, all the pics ive seen one eye is "off".

    Did they say what the Feb GWP(s) are?

    I know the Bionicle one started and goes thru Feb. But I consider that a Jan GWP.

    I thought mine were ok, but now I need to go look at it.

    Edit: Yep, mine are the same too. Never noticed it while building and now I'll have to pull out some extras I have to replace them.

    I rarely post on here. I wanted to share my custom boxing gym I'm working.

    Dude, you should put this up for Lego Ideas, I would buy this if ever made.
    Reminds me of Hajime no Ippo's Kamogawa boxing gym.

    The site just switched over to advertise it all over the place that it should be available right at midnight EST like always. It's very strange.

    Seems nobody's able to get it to show up though.

    More specifically, seems now to be clear it's a problem with the US/Canada site. Other countries are having no problem at all ordering it.

    Welp it's 1 am, guess I'll hope it's still available in the morning...
