Will 4 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Shanghi sounds intresting Vegas not so much. Its a shame they seem so short on ideas with so many places they could do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 5 year old asked, "where the clown hotel was." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Why not 99.99? The price inflation is getting ridiculous.https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Shanghai-21039 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmdahn Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ah that does look sweet. But yeah clearly could be a political problem with Mandalay Bay right there.

They still released the Brandenburg Gate where there was carnage in the WW2 Battle of Berlin. I think LEGO should show resilience and release Las Vegas regardless. Millions will still be going to Las Vegas and the Mandalay Bay Hotel is quite in your face a few minutes after you drive from the airport, you can't miss it. Even if it is released in small quantities initially and then redesigned, the first version will be as gold as the hotel itself. I'm not winding you all up, it's my 2p worth and life has to go on, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 They are afraid of massive backlash, they are only and always playing safe card, definitely they'll try to avoid situation being placed between Dove Soap and Pepsi with Kardashians.

Val-E Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Pretty much all the recent city sets are places that have had terror attacks, I guess if it happens after release they don´t do anything. They´ll wait 6-9 months and put it out in the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
