maybe this is old news but just noticing for first time and not seeing anything listed.... New theme of 4+ Mickey Mouse-based Disney character sets that are NOT DUPLO and look incredible. 5 New Sets under the theme:

I'm kinda sick of seeing grown adults reduced to infantile meme arguments all over the internet. Come to think of it, I'm sick of the internet and all people.

Am i alone in saying that I sometimes prefer the anonymity that the mask provides? Buying tons of legos as an adult is one of those times

One the most awesome things about this community is how we rally to support and offer words of encouragement to one of our own in their time of need. Please stay strong ravenb99 and may you get a diagnosis soon.

They should have ended with Infinity War. Or they could have done Endgame without time travel crap. I do not like time travel stories in general, they tend to leave many plotholes

8877 Vladek's Dark Fortress. This set has been on my want list for a long time and I finally picked one up off eBay a few weeks ago. I've always really liked the Knight's Kingdom era sets, even though this doesn't have the same level of detail as newer sets, it's a big finished product with a nice selection of minifigures. Folding cover box too! Pretty big footprint to fit in with other castle sets

I've been on the hunt for more shelving for my basement warehouse, in the past I was using pre-made wood frames from Menards and half sheets of OSB for the shelves - as cheap as I could go. Last spring I made two 8 foot sections this way for about $130. Just now priced out what that would cost today: $393!!!!! I'd bring it down to $321 if I cut down the OSB sheets myself. Anyway, obviously not about to go that route. I found a guy on FBMarketplace who just moved into a bigger house with built-in shelving selling off "4-5 sets of shelving" for $100. From the picture I can see it's probably more or less nice stuff. So I went and bought it and spent the afternoon sorting it out. Most of it is 4 ft x 2 ft rivet shelving along with some 3' x 18" stuff, plus some cheaper metal tab assembly type. Came with 20 of the larger boards and 10 of the smaller ones, but there are frames enough for 30 of the larger shelves, which... this is a crazy amount of shelving to get for $100. He said he was surprised no one had bought it yet, he looked online and a three pack of these shelves is like $200, I replied, "well, I know that, that's why I'm here". Plus, my wife starts summer break today AND I filed my taxes.

Virginia is lifting it's mask mandate tonight at midnight. I will definitely be making a trip to Walmart tomorrow maskless just because I finally can. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk

I also liked Infinity War more. Endgame was fine, but it really went downhill once they said Back to the Future was BS.

It makes the ship look bigger if there's a smaller person holding it haha

You are already rubbing them clean with your clearance deals .

Seeing Daisy just made me ask myself, "Why don't we have a Smurfette Brickheadz?"

Wearing a mask as a grownup is merely an inconvenience but the kid in me thought wearing a mask made me look like a train robber.

I for one love the way it punctuates whatever you are saying.

So why do LEGO put the recommended age on the box only to ignore it on their ad materials? The box says 14+, but this kid does not look 14:

Whenever I fall for that FOMO feeling it’s always too late and I get burned ... LEGO, stocks, and likely the same for crypto. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree. I subscribe to the idea that there are two ways to do time travel stories. Like Back to the Future or like LOST. In BTTF and Endgame, you time travel and if you change things you’ve got these alternative realities. I love the LOST idea where “whatever happened, happened.” So the Infinity Stones were always taken, they were always returned. Steve travels back to Peggy and HE WAS ALWAYS THERE. So there would have been three different versions of Steve at the Battle of New York (one just older than the other two). None of this reality jumping, alternative timeline crap.

Yeah I know I am late. This is just me trying to jump in before the rest of sheeple Need more time to research to catch the next waves

ADA is peaking because of what Musk did by dropping Bitcoin as payment to Tesla and embracing proof of stake currency like Cardono. It’s very likely you can double your money by July and likely sooner but ADA has so many coins that that the price would need to reach only $34 to match Bitcoin’s current market cap north of $1 trillion, so I dunno how much growth one can expect. The real time to have bought was in December when it was $.04. Make sure you find a pool to stake your ADA and you should see 5 to 8% growth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got some crypto under my name. The dummy in me hesitated buying at $1.62 and a mere 12 hours later the price went to $2.05. My FOMO got me to lock in at $2 but I should have waited since I had plenty of time to buy afterwards at $1.85. This morning it is $2.27 Lets play 2 games: 1. Guess which currency 2. What's the chance I double my money by July 4th ?

Yes

That Mickey Mouse silhouette tile in every set is awesome.

available June 1.

I will be nice, somebody else tell him

I did like the haircut joke tho

He did until Endgame when he was lectured by Captain Marvel. The writing was so lazy and was so out of character for him to admit Captain Marvel was right. Yes it is a nitpick, but I am not a big fan of Endgame

I'm starting to think some people on this thread are size 4XL

I would imagine legalities and/or parents complaining/returning due to their kids saying its too hard and/or loosing pieces. I think it was on Amazon where I was reading a review from a parent complaining that this was the fourth Lego set that they have purchased now that is missing pieces -- and their child is so meticulous!

conditioned...? to consider the other people around you when you make decisions? This is one of the most dumbfounding assertions to me... that it is zero sum, that if you understand that a significant amount of people have a somewhat reasonable fear, acting to show that you have considered them when you are walking through the world means that you are a sheeple.

You’ve been conditioned. That’s the scariest aspect of the social mandates.

Rakuten having 15% back on lego.com. Might only be 2.5% on exclusives though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think it's become more of a courtesy issue Hard to wantonly walk into an enclosed public place w/ no mask...seems rude to me

So much to unpack here but I fell off my rocker when he says 'once she get that good good from me' I will definitely be using that on the wifey later Yes people are very strange indeed. From my perspective (medical biology background) @Phil Bis taking the necessary precautions to protect his clan. Its unfortunate he HAS to do this, but like you said, people are strange. As we are all seeing this play out in front of our eyes, the vaccine is no guarantee. Choosing to not get a vaccine or not wear a mask just makes zero sense to me. Someone said it earlier, what a crazy hill to die on. I get it, we all would like to move on with our lives. The people who choose to act recklessly, are only making this last longer for the rest of us.

I felt the CDC's announcement yesterday was premature. In any case, we'll still be wearing masks wherever we go like we've always been unless we know for sure the people we are hanging out with are vaccinated. We've come this far, and I'm not taking any unnecessary chances yet. My 13yo daughter is going to get her first shot on Sunday, and we're hoping our 8yo son can be eligible to get his soon.

On a good note for me, I have tickets to my first club show in 2 years. No restrictions The new album by The Dead Daisies is incredible!

I want to do these:

That is a sad looking green dragon

So the rumored castle set that was leaked in the Blacksmith designer video (not the fan vote one) will be a 3 in 1 not an expert.

Back in my day, one dogecoin used to equal one dogecoin.

Here's a cheat sheet.
