The four Bricklink sets I ordered just showed up. Wow, they're big. Probably won't order any more of these for a while.
That is an easy promise to keep since the next round will take a while. Our observatory came and it is awesome!!! Box was a bit banged up but my wife is going to build it anyways and toss the box.
Oh thank god. Was worried the next round would be this year. My first wave of Bricklink stuff was banged up but this second round stuff came pristine. The construction site and the train station came in their own boxes while the diner and the observatory came in another.
Oh, I'm not sure but it could be this year. I didn't say how long the while will be (I honestly figured at least a few months at least). Heck, I haven't even had time to go vote yet.
I kinda hope it's late this year but if I miss anything, oh well. I haven't voted either, haha. Keep forgetting.
According to the Bricklink site, the winners of the current round (voting ends March 31) will be announced by late May. Then they work with the designers to finalize the designs. Preorders will start February 2024 and ship later in 2024. So, we are all done for this year in terms of ordering, paying for, or receiving more big boxes. By June we should have a good idea if any of the winning sets are of interest, so plenty of time to plan ahead. I received all 4 of mine (last 3 today) and they all made it in great condition. I'm glad because there are boxes I definitely plan to keep, part of the collectible value especially since they were very limited runs.
Just stumbled on an ebay seller with the 100 year celebration Disney set. Prices were predictably insane but they did have better pics of the whole series and I don't remember any one posting clearer images yet. New thoughts yeaaaaaah not feeling Sorcerer Mickey or Mulan anymore. The way the robes are done on Mickey bugs me as the big head. Might still get Mulan since I do like the Crickee printed piece. Going to need a Dr. Facilier though, he came out really well. Not really interested in Ernesto but hot damn that is a gorgeous print on his guitar.
These were officially revealed on March 1 (LEGO Disney 100 Collectible Minifigures (71038) Officially Revealed - The Brick Fan). Just FYI, that's all. I think the printing looks pretty good on a lot of these, especially Ernesto. In other online sightings news... If anyone wanted a lower price on the Speed Champions Fast & Furious Skyline, Target and Walmart are price matching at $19.99 which is 20% off MSRP. Lego Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline Gt-r (r34) 76917 : Target Target also has a few new polybags available for shipping: Star Wars 40th Anniversary X-Wing (was out of stock for a bit before; my wife saw it pop back in stock and ordered for me) Lego Star Wars X-wing Starfighter 30654 Building Toy Set : Target Speed Champions McLaren Solus GT Lego Speed Champions Mclaren Solus Gt Race Car Toy 30657 : Target Easter Chicks (fixed link thanks @betsuni ) Lego Creator Easter Chickens Basket Stuffers 30643 : Target
Also a Doctor Strange Polybag. Lego Super Heroes Doctor Strange Interdimensional Portal 30652 Building Toy Set : Target Here's the Easter Chicks link. Lego Creator Easter Chickens Basket Stuffers 30643 : Target
The tiny skyline in the portal is super cute and makes this an instant pickup if I see it in Australia, even for my waning interest in the MCU Chickens also good
While I really enjoyed Lego Dimensions, this looks to head the same way as these type of add-on games do. The prospect of an open world game is intriguing though.
I heard a rumor the Star Wars Gunship was coming back. Only this time it's inspired by the previous episode of the Mandalorian.
Those looked identical to the gunships in Attack of the Clones, so... not sure what that would mean, unless it includes Spoiler Grogu and Jedi Ahmed Best on a speeder bike. Also, apparently the $450 D2C Batcave is based on Batman Returns. ...Which seems like kind of a boring option when they could have done one based on the comics or on the Animated Series, either of which would give them way more characters they could include. Or just do it Daily Bugle style and give us a best possible Lego version not tied to any single existing depiction. Oh well!
Just discovered this thread! I’ve finally gotten my most anticipated lego set and my favorite Star Wars ship in lego form!!! I’ve wanted a Lego gunship ever since I was a kid.
