Forgot to update but mine eventually arrived last Tuesday 19th. Box itself wasn’t in great condition, couple of creased dents and an actual tiny hole, despite the outer brown shipping box being perfect. TLG warehouse QC clearly isn’t up to scratch these days.

I completely agree with the lots of unnecessary extra landscaping small parts to add “detail”, but on the other hand, keeping the footprint small is not a bad thing these days especially when shelf space is a major consideration. Of course, sets like Scorpion Palace were fantastic at adding scale using larger parts whilst keeping the piece count down, but this approach is rarely seen in today’s Lego designs unfortunately.

Maybe but there’s been 2 or 3 at least that made the 10k review stage including the Planet Express last year. If the rejections were due to a conflict in the works, I feel it would have been happened by now.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that!

Saw this rumour repeated on IG. Seems a strange one as Central Perk was marked down on sale everywhere for the last few months and still lots of them shelfwarming in these parts along with a shedload of other licensed Friends “gifts”. Not surprising given the show isn’t one you’d normally associate with the interest of your typical AFOLs. If there’s another set in the works, I guess it can only be Monica’s apartment. Still grates that no Futurama set has made it through IDEAS, when we’ve had 2 large Simpsons sets and 2 CMF series.

Because unbelievably that’s many people’s main or even only reference to the subject. Visiting the museum in Belfast (excellent by the way) the stuff you overhear from tourists (“but in the movie...” etc) just makes you shake your head in despair. Whilst I’m curious to see an official set, I just wouldn’t buy it out of personal preference.

Years later I still kick myself for not grabbing the last Maersk instore... Anyway, whilst this definitely sounds an interesting build at this scale and the subject is fascinating (even more when I have family links), I’m not sure I’d personally want to display a model of a ship in which 1500 people lost their lives.

Belated thanks for the earlier photoshop, and yes, I really like the lighter “wood” base as you’ve built for real. Not a fan of the “poofy” look though sorry, looks more like a normal tree (one you could stick that new awful Winnie the Pooh minifig under) than a cultured layered bonsai. Especially love the alien bog plant in the instructions and have also grabbed a load of different coloured leaf elements (including pearl gold palms) with the idea being to swap out design every season. Currently sporting the 100 pink frogs of Sakura, yes I know it’s a couple of months early, but can’t help craving beauty and nature these days.

Seems there’s probably a shipping hub somewhere in Benelux? I’ve discovered a new found patience these days, what with work, kids, and literally everything taking a lot longer to deliver. Got Spring Lantern and NG in a race (more tortoise than hare) to see who will be delivered first. It’ll be a nice surprise if one lands before the weekend.
