It's a leak of the official reveal date. -
We don't know that. There is no way there is just 2 sets for city in the summer.

If this means atompunk sets, I'm all for it! I've got a CS-styled nuclear-powered train ready to go along with them! If this train turns out to be a rotary snowplow, I'm will buy at least one no matter what!
-
I'll take "Things I didn't need to know and am now worse off for knowing" for $500.
-
It was a joke. But in all seriousness, The Big Bang Theory has featured Lego sets or mentioned Lego several times. Heck, the night / morning after Sheldon's marriage to Amy takes place at the LEGOLAND Hotel!
-
Awesome to hear! And RE: the fig, i figured that was the case. (i was just making a joke.)
-
I didn't know the Rebellion had acquired BSG Vipers! But this does raise the following question: Are the Cylons helping to build the Death Star? Great work @icm!
-
@SpacePolice89 You do know that Storage Wars show is totally faked, right? A few ex-employees / 'buyers' have said so. (just saying) As for LEGO in films and Tv, there was a film a decade ago you may have heard of? It's called the Lego Movie...

I don't buy from Brickowl, as they are smaller and have less for sale than Bricklink so the situation is probably worse there for these rare parts. However, I will take your funnel idea under advisement for the future @ILoveSeatron.

Thanks @Toxic43! 20 metal-axle wheels, 10 modern magnets, 10 yellow bogies plates are going to run me over 100 USD after S&H (~88 before S&H) from two Bricklink stores. Except for the wheels, the parts are probably cheaper on PAB standard, but that's down until January and has a major shipping backlog of over 50 business days. This is gonna take a while....
-
It's down until January according to the banner... probably because of the backlog. I ordered standard on Nov. 28th, and if I see it before February, and all of what I ordered arrives, I'll be happy.

Sorry for the late response, but thanks @Shiva! And now for another update: I've had this ghostly 4-8-2 steam loco built for over a year, but have had issues designing accompanying train cars for it that made me happy in the thirteen months since construction ceased. But that's no longer the case! These five blue, red, and gray passenger cars are on the list to be built at some point in the near(ish) future. The closest car is a streamlined observation car, while the next three are identical coaches. The furthest car from this picture's viewpoint is a combination baggage-coach. Out of the 971 bricks I needed at the beginning of this project, I have found 472, with 499 left to go. I found this all yesterday, and and am almost to the half-way point - let's see how far I can get today! Sadly, I've had to split the parts list in two: there are 40 expensive train-centric parts that cost just as much, if not more, than the entire remainder of the train's 459-parts strong list by itself! So, the cars' bodies might get built long before I can get the more pricey bits. Thoughts?
-
So far, nothing from 2025 Friends is screaming out at me to purchase it, or at least reverse engineer it like the Castle B&B did. We will have to see what late spring / summer holds, but I'll bet they'll be something much more up my alley then!
-
You can find the 2025 thread here, as created by @Lyichir, so thanks for that! (Maybe a mod can pin that topic and close this 2024 one? @JopieK perhaps?)

Fun fact: The reason the Thagomizer has it's name is due to the Far Side comic strip (and the late caveman, Thag Simmons.) The part of the dinosaur had no name before that strip, and afterwards, paleontologists decided to name the spiked tail the Thagomizer in the strip's honor. You can read about it more here. Another example of one is the Horrendous Space Kablooie from the strip Calvin and Hobbes, which is now an actual term for the Big Bang.

@Chocolate Frog Lego isn't doing the TV series from what it seems.
-
I've seen them on on other sites in the past, and EB if on another computer besides my main one. I run an adblocker / privacy thingy most of the time, (sorry!) so I don't see them usually. The OP was the one who mentioned them first, anyway.
-
agreed.
-
...especially when motorization is officially said to be impossible (it wasn't, though it does require mods), and the use of plastic axles really makes things 10x worse.
-
I'm sad the To Story train is 4+. I pray it has a lot of reusable prints, but I'm not holding out any hope in it being track compatible. The last train that we had from Toy Story was in 14 years ago in 2010. We need another Western train - and a 100% complete one, at that! (they always skimp on the steam loco's tender, be it the tiny C.K. Holliday one, or the skimpy Lone Ranger vehicle, or the non-existent one from Toy Story.)
-
Ok, who has a BeeGees pre-disco reference on their DC Aslume BINGO cards? Anyone? Bueller? (Personally, I prefer 'New York mining disaster 1941' from this era more...)
-
That's not the year, though. It's the position on the mold. They mold a lot of them (maybe 40? IDK) at the same time in the same steel mold every few seconds.
-
Good point. Reproducing the LEGO logo by 3rd parties is a good way to have lawyers knocking down your door...
