Are Lego now a perishable plant-based item that requires refrigeration?

One of my favorites is now Homer. I love the stomach full of donuts and the very tiny brain in his head.

When I went... absolutely. How do you have a shiny red button and not press it???

Went to Target yesterday looking for these and this is what awaited me.

Built three more tonight

Walmart has Minecraft Farm Cottage 21144 for $39.99 again. Not a great discount, but the set is supposedly on its way out. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Minecraft-The-Farm-Cottage-21144-549-Pieces/173323787 EDIT: WM also has Architecture Las Vegas 21047 for 20% off ($31.99). Not sure if that's necessarily a great price, but it seems rare to see Architecture sets with discounts. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Architecture-Las-Vegas-21047-Building-Set-501-Pieces/431480349

Yes, you do raise some good points. The first release of sets, such as 4709 castle, 4708 train, etc., are definitely basic/blocky. But I think the newest sets are overdetailed w/too many small parts. I think the sweet spot was the sets that had to do with 3rd/4th movies. Sets such as 4757 castle, dumstrang ship, shrieking shack, etc. were a great blend of size, detail, and great figures. These sets were produced in the mid-late 2000s, (2004/5-2007/8), which (in my opinion) was when design had improved but the saturation of sets and overdetailing/cheese slope era that we see today had not occurred yet. There were lots of great sets: dreamliner, cafe corner, MTT, original holiday train, eiffel tower. These are all likely to be rehashed but the originals will remain the best imho.

Love it... Mind you, if that happened here in East London the planters as well as the package would have disappeared. Mind you maybe not, as the place would definitely have ground to a complete standstill seeing as you have more than an inch of snow.

Nexo Knights was full price at mine too, but plenty of 50%-75% off sets on the same shelf.

Local Kohls finally dropped to 50% off on a few sets. 60194 (City Arctic) - $29.99 75216 (SW) - $34.99 41351 (Friends) - $19.99 75209 (SW) - $14.99 Will check the other one in town in an hour or so.

This is the first set to include a pink space suit with the classic space logo, which is driving the popularity up. Benny is plentiful, elsewhere.

lego tagged it as seasonal set so it should have a relatively shorter shelf life. Plus, there are no other outlets other than lego itself is selling it, so I imagine the market is not flooded. However, since its design is generic, even though it may be done later this year it can very much be brought back next year to celebrate 2020 chinese new year. I guess it all depends on how long the 80101, 80102 and the unreleased dragon boat set will stay as it appears to me the existence of DDG BH is undoubtedly for matching those regional sets. I think Lego will start to phase it out after chinese dragon boat festival this year which happens in June. The set itself is unique and it doesn't look like we are getting more chinese themed BH anytime soon. I bought one for personal collection to pair with the 80101 and 80102 I acquired. May pick up a few more down the road

after your post I tried to have a more open mind about the older sets...I do agree with you that the minifigures are better in the older sets; more expressive and unique. I disagree about sets being bigger >smaller as a general rule, since I value better detail over what feels like a Duplo build (exxageration). Yes, the current Great Hall proportions are too short. But just looking at the trains...the current one using moving axels vs free spinning wheels...that's a no brainer imo. And when you compare a lot of the older mini scenes...those look embarrassing compared to current standards. Once again..my opinion...those older sets came out during my dark ages (ie no nostagia and possible jealousy/scorn) so I may be unfairly harsh on them.

Much thanks! Now I can start trying to build.

I sure did! Everything is awesome! I wasn't even embarrased not having my kids with me. ha!

10128. The curved track parts are from something else.

Decided to do a full Kohl’s run across 5-6 stores today. First store, several ninjago sets at 50% off, and a well hidden mint BB8 for $29.99. This is like a hidden gem within hidden gems, doesn’t seem like there’s much competition to ****** these up. Note, wanted to upload receipt but wouldn’t allow me, I’ll try to upload later on my computer once I’m done through all the stores.

Year of the Pig is LIVE at LEGO Shop at Home US.

At least we’ve got some sort of epic (hopefully) treehouse coming soon with the Ideas set that was approved.

I wish they would do a treehouse village series. I would buy that all day long

Friday Thought by Nick Sweetman

Went to see the movie today. Without saying too much to ruin it for the rest. I will say it made for a nice continuation of the first one. But I did not leave the theater with the same feeling I had when we seen the first one. Being a huge Lego fan I did still enjoy it. But if I had to rank all 4 movie made by WB.... 1. The LEGO movie 2. The LEGO Batman movie 3. Ninjago movie 4. The LEGO Movie 2 Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

probably none of them as first 2 are potentional remake targets forever and you never know if 10264 ends up being dud like Pet Shop or winner like Brick Bank, I would pick 71043 Hogwarts Castle

I think it will mostly be business as usual. Whether long-term storage fees increase or decrease, there will always be a ToyJumbo clogging some listings.

Why is Finn being attacked by giant sperm?

Pride is for suckers. Shame away, shame away.

Broke out a $35 75157 Captain Rex's AT-TR since the price hasn't moved and we wanted something to build...mostly for the 5th Brother mini-fig that the kids wanted. Not a great looking set but we at least had fun building it. In other news...if anyone is looking for a used 75157 that is complete except for the 5th Brother mini-figure, I know a guy. ?

or how droids and wookies can understand all languages but are only able to communicate in beeps and grunts.

I also built 30528. Here’s all three builds.

Built the UCS Y-Wing this weekend. Better than expected, highly recommended. My only real gripe is the stickers.

41628 Princess Leia

My daughter thinks the cutest BH title goes to this guy:

And Minnie Mouse (as constructed by Mrs Alpinemaps)

...10261 Creator Expert Roller Coaster. Just added Benny´s Space Squad for more visitors! ?

Built BB8 Over Christmas break with my kids. Not a bad little build overall. We put it on the shelf next to 10225 UCS R2D2 and they make a decent pair.

Finally built the 75050 B-Wing tonight. Love these minifig-ish scale ships! Why even bother with UCS?
