With the low interest for Lost City, I wonder if that one has good potential for future profit ...given a lower production run?

That's a tough one. I'm considering getting it still because its a last chance thing. but its not really something I would need to get if I missed it. especially at our reseller price. Its already expensive.  would probably make more sense to get a chocolate factory. someone will likely want it for Christmas village one day.

Mushrooms arrived

Has anyone gotten their Ominous yet and built it? I'm out of town, but it's sitting at my neighbors. At this price point, I'm building this thing!

[MotorCityMuscle]

nah skipped that one. didn't do a thing for me. 

[Belac]

Ominous Isle and logging railway arrived all minty. Train station box has some denting from a side hit but its the one I was considering building of the three.

They are doing a livestream this afternoon. 

The Ideas result is in: Minerals has some nice elements and should be under $100

Ty, didn't know about the stream nor the Ideas results. Idea sets are such a hit or a miss. Minerals... ffs

Stream at 2p EST:

None of my top 3 made it.

Same, but happy for my Wolfpack bros - they've been waiting a long time and my army needed a villain. Win/Win

I though they were taking a break from castles?

And Modulars but the Art Factory looks pretty “modular” to me. 

[Pseudoty]

Reviews are embargoed until 1/30 but they actually made many changes to these sets.

These are the two I was interested in but don’t think that I will be picking up either although the Siege set will be hard to resist with 18 minifigures and the LKC set integration. 
 

I know a lot of you are probably interested in the train but don’t see that review yet. Maybe Brickset got that one.

Half an hour until order window opens up. 

[$20 on joe vs dan]

I got 1 order of the seige.  It's uniqueness and compliment to castles won me over.  I didn't get any others, but the train had my eye for a bit.  What did others order and why?

[MotorCityMuscle]

grabbed the seige, market and train. fairly lackluster grouping this time.

Same, my enthusiasm to buy dupes is dwindling

[Pseudoty]

I got one Siege wanted the Market but both reviews I watched reported that it is an unstable build. However there are already alt build instructions by the designer using the same elements available on rebrickable

Got a market, train and siege tower for personal collection. Didn't intend to get siege tower as it seems over priced but the reviews made me give it another look. I feel like they're going a bit too fast on the rounds. I'd like to have my previous round sets in hand before next round of orders.

[keymomachine]

I don't even have any castles or old west stuff built right now, so I think I'll give this round a pass. Just not feeling it. The siege camp is really cool and all, but I just don't see myself building and displaying all that anytime soon.
