Pseudoty Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Still haven’t gotten my Ship from round 1 Part 2 order last update was sometime June - August. Will be interesting to see if that train station will even get funded at $399 needs at least 3K orders.

bonusbrick Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 For the price points, probably the 1950's Diner is the only only one I'd get multiple of. That one seems doable to get double buy in. Something about the Exploratorium just genuinely makes me happy. Caught my eye instantly. Seems like it would a joy to put together and display. The Train Station: Studgate will be quite the showpiece at any city setup. Like most, I've never lost money on LEGO trains. Brickwest Studios is an easy personal purchase. I've built similar movie lot props for brick films with the kids and this set would pay for itself with hours spent in play. The Mountain View Observatory is my favorite when it comes to design. I think its wonderfully detailed. But I'm just not a modular guy. I might get one just to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Obvious Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Lmao To this day, I still giggle when I hear the name “Timmy”, our Child Fan of Lego. Do you guys have a naming convention for the typical AFOL that occasionally gets swindled by a QFLL? For some reason “Larry” is coming to mind… https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/support/main.page Edited May 11, 2022 by Captain_Obvious 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 This round has many great sets (but crazy high priced) - it will be interesting to see which ones don't make it. I figure that the diner, train station, and winter chalet are locks. The waterfall (while cool) likely not, The construction same thing, the space seems kinda dull to me (but there are tons of crazy space theme fans, so might do well). the western one is good, but whether the previous western saloon holds it back, I don't know. The observatory, and steampunk are both excellent (but will the high prices effect those making it?). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumas Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I will probably support Train station, Observatory, Construction site, Steampunk and Chalet. If the Saloon had minis I would pick it over Chalet. Wave 2 I didnt like anything but this time my credit card will be weeping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think the Train Station will qualify because of the price as it will need 3K supporters, but I will probably be wrong as usual.

dennugsmello Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Cool sets. Still my best investment on these sets has been the Lowenstein castles. I still think that is the best one yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that is the best one yet. Agreed there are some interesting ones. Also agree with Lowenstein statement. Nice set but also more limited or at least more ppl missed that one than the waves after. Going forward I'm more and more selective buying any of these for investment. Havent decided yet but might not but any from this wave. Also questioning the few that I bought from wave 2. Fantastic opportunity for personal collection for those interested in actually building the sets but might want to carefully consider buying for investment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dinner looks great though it has never been part of European culture. Train Station might be driven by train fans as there are plenty of trains but almost no supporting facilities. I dont remember how it worked in previous waves but I'll preorder all but Saloon, Space and Waterfall if it is possible to support more than 5 and see which ones go through.

Shortbus311 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I will be buying the Winter Chalet for my personal collection, but I think that is it. The rest seem to expensive for what they are or to take a speculative gamble on. The diner that everyone else seems to want just doesn't look like a good value to me. The build doesn't look like 1300+ pieces, and that lettuce on the giant burger on the roof just looks horrible and kills it for me haha.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Crowdfunding has begun: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/introducing.page 10 minutes in, and the Winter Chalet has funded. Studgate Train Station is close behind. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 14 minutes in, and the 1950's Diner is funded. (Which is good news for me, as I purchased one). Mountain View Observatory will most likely get funded next. It's close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 16 minutes in, and Mountain View Observatory is funded. Only one more slot left. Looks like the Modular Construction Site will grab it, as Steam Powered Science is not keeping pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Working Waterfall, Brickwest Studios, Space Troopers are all pretty far behind at this point. The limit 1 per person is definitely slowing things down. 22 minutes in, and Modular Construction Site is funded. The 5 that will be turned into sets have been decided.

starwarsxpress Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) Construction makes 5 What is everyone ordering ? trying to decide Edited May 17, 2022 by starwarsxpress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I preordered the 1950's Diner and the Space Troopers. Guess I'm only getting one of the two, that's fine. Winter Chalet is slowly inching toward 5,000 supports, but it's pace is definitely slowed. Which gives me more time to consider whether I'm picking that one up.

It's also 3900 pieces, so the price tag is probably on target, just a little too expensive for me. I'm still on the fence about the Winter Chalet. The Train Station is awesome, but again, price is keeping me away - $399 for 4000 pieces. That's the one that I can see going for bank some day, for the people that missed out.
