Bricky Steamboat

You can buy them on bricklink for 50p-70p ish. I think people are just building Forestmen armies to keep the sneaky Wolfpack at bay.

#TeamWolfpack Well done to the lads here, rescued a very dirty tower set

Still rescuing Nexo Knights in 2023. Poor Clay

How many chairs were there at the original Council of Elrond? And were they made out of sausages?

In the UK the cloth capes & flags are available, as are most of the small shields. Doesn't show up if you search by set number, even if it's the only set they were in. Link

But you get to have big Lego basements while we don't!

It's called just that, B&M. Some people call it B&M Bargains or Bargain Madness. https://www.bmstores.co.uk/

I don't know where you are in the UK, but at least around these parts the farm set is reduced to £25 in B&M Store, but all of the animal parts can be bought on B&P for less than £20. So it depends whether the 4 x minifigures and all other Lego is worth a fiver to you I suppose. The figures are selling for £1 on BL, which is great if you want to stock up on lime legs (The male farmer does actually have a useful head and hair piece).

A neat design, and first look instantly suggests what it recreates. Well done.

I don't think the shopping 'experience' will alter that much, but there will be differences in availability, delivery times, shipping costs, and so on. That's not to say one region is always getting the thin end of the wedge. The wins and losses seems to see-saw, so it's not like they have a favourite customer base - all other things being equal. Lego doesn't seem to employ much consistency even within each region, nevermind globally. So it might take getting used to, but is essentially feels like the same store if you can resist comparing the differences obsessively. The 'Help' section on the US/EU site will contain most of the key information for you to compare.

Good tip The updated Guarded Inn MOC is brilliant btw. Will 100% be adding that to my table.

The cloth flags & capes showing as £9.06 in the UK and out of stock. Lots of other bits & pieces to go at though, including the chevron shield and latest Forestmen's shield in stock. And cows.

Skol! Great scene with lots of action. Well worth the effort that has clearly been put into it.

Is why I think this is a red herring. Huge price increase, and the statement architecture at the top-middle of the roof is a grey 1x1 cone?
