It's traditional to hang those signs upside down. Those signs usually mean good luck or good fortune and putting it upside-down is meant to "pour out" the goodness from the sign and into the home. -

Remember when they made a set showing micro-scale versions of the first few modular buildings? Now imagine these five diagon alley buildings as five separate modular building style sets. I would definitely get that! The Ninjago "modular building" ran out of material after two sets, but diagon alley is worth at least five sets!

I found the website of this company that makes custom display cabinets and one of the displays looks almost like the one above. Bad news (for me) is that they are in Singapore. http://chezrich.net/home-displays/ So so jelly. Back down on earth, I see a new-ish Ikea display cabinet that seems ok for displaying/storing modulars: Hemnes glass-door cabinet Width: 47 1/4 " Depth: 14 5/8 " Height: 51 1/8 " Max load/shelf: 33 lb Width: 120 cm Depth: 37 cm Height: 130 cm Max load/shelf: 15 kg https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20363207/#/60363210 The main attraction is that it's wide, so that one can fit about 4 modulars per shelf (possibly 4.5 if you factor in the pet shop). Most other ikea display cabinets are tall and narrow, which allows for only 1-2 modulars per shelf. And it's nice that the display window is large and not cut off in the middle with a support beam. One bad thing is that while the shelves are not fixed, there are not any extra holes to adjust the height of each shelf, but this is not a hard problem to overcome.

I agree. Just look at some the Twi'lek Star Wars figures.

I'm mildly interested so far, but I don't want to get burned when some of the sets turn out to be 'con exclusives.

The design of Vader's Castle is so on the nose for villian lair, it reminds me of George Lucas' naming of Elan Sleazebaggano. Shaped like his head, especially the mouth piece vents Flowing lava / volcano shape Not a tourist destination Place has history (still looking for his arms and legs?) All it needs is a big laser and trapdoors. And anyone else thinks the interior is like a Sith Spa? Meditation chamber looks like a tiny Jacuzzi Bacta bath Attendees in robes Suana / Hot Springs via lava flow

If LEGO does come out with another hotel, it would be interesting to see how they would balance out the dullness of multiple near-identical rooms with fun stuff like a story narrative and play features. I would like to see a building that was once a factory/office (or partly still is) so you can have floor-size studio apartments that you enter via a large freight elevator, a scene that is popular in movies.

This seems to be the most likely reason. Thanks. Update: Actually, DK puts out a lot of Marvel related books, for both the comic and movie universes. Just nothing relating to LEGO as well. https://www.dk.com/us/search/marvel

IKEA needs to make more furniture that is more compatible with displaying LEGO. It seems like IKEA would often discontinue options that customers have been using make their furniture into display solutions. For example, they discontinued the glass doors for the Kallax/Expedit shelves. I think they have discontinue clear glass doors for other cabinet series or now only have the option for non-clear doors. I would like to see smaller or zero frames in their cabinet/bookshelf doors to maximize visibility. The Detolf is commonly used for display, but it can only fit one modular per shelf. I've seen hacks to connect multiple Detolfs together to form a wider cabinet, so I think IKEA should create a modular display system to officially support this. Their Billy bookcases are also commonly used because they are inexpensive and have a windowed door choice with thin frames, but the internal width is frustratingly one stud too narrow to fit three base plates.

Per trailer, they hop. :) You're probably correct. I also think Finn goes into a Dark Age and abandons his bricks. And so a few years later, tons of dust and everything yellow due to sun exposure. Wasteland.

OHMIGOSH! Did LEGO just introduce MAGICAL GIRLS into their universe?
-
There better not be anything as tired and cliche as love triangles or wyldstyle getting jealous... And I'm curious how they plan to animate minidolls, since a major issue is that their legs are fused together. I guess they just hop around like gameboard pieces?

It's nicely done, but not very realistic. Are there car washes where you have to back out to leave? Should have a rear exit for the car like the Fire Brigade. May work better as a repair shop. It certainly looks modular, where it looks like the top part of an old building is stacked on top of a newer structure.

It's just a baseplate and is less of a issue compared to a change to the scale of the main figure. At least you can easily retrofit earlier models with the new bases. And I see that Funko sets don't have baseplates except for their star wars ones. But with Funko, you can at least still display them unopened and in-box, and that may hide the star wars bases. I think the changing brickheadz baseplate design is just them working out issues with the new theme. Their first bump was Belle's larger baseplate. Hopefully the current design can last longer.

That's a great idea! I haven't used LDD in a while and totally forgot about doing my mods in it first.

Is there a website where you can select a range of pages from a set's instruction book and have it generate you a list of parts, preferably easily importable into bricklink? I know bricklink has inventory lists of most sets, but lets say I only want to part out a subset of the set. For a large set, it's rather tedious and error-prone to go through the instructions and audit the needed parts.
