I did this at one point previously but did not dig down as deep to pull as many non-sets out. Lego releases per year, subtracting gear and other non building sets: 2022: 583 (A significant pullback) 2021: 714 (Overcompensating for the 2020 shortages and hype) 2020: 650 2019: 639 2018: 653 2017: 641 2016: 645 2015: 629 2014: 549 2013: 522 2012: 484

At the height of the pandemic, Amazon was bringing a warehouse online every 24 hours--that wasn't really sustainable to begin with. We've seen this with other industries, too. Wood mills in the south being brought back online to meet demand only to shutter 18 months later, etc. I think the big part is US and global industry isn't built to deal with rapid down turn or upturn in supply and demand caused by outside forces. Modern economies really didn't evolve with any resilience to outside forces within their economic structure.

In Socal I saw the Technic Batmobile for the first time. Vespa too, but can't remember if I saw it before or on YouTube at someone else's 😜

I don’t know what is worse, this or season 8 of Game of Thrones…

LEGO 31115 Creator Space Mining Mech I'm foreseeing at least 10 hours of adventures ahead..

Spaceship!, Spaceship!....SPACE DUST!

This set was worth the RRP. It looks so good and has excellent detailing all around. I hung it on the wall and so far, it's been steady for four days. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk

premature celebration. apparently amazon held back inventory from prime day sales SF still gone tho

Wierd. Just this morning I was looking at this set on BL. I have two of these sealed in my inventory and have been tempted to build both of them to make the "double version".

What kind of Date Stamps are you all getting on yours? I bought 2 during the Brick Friday LEGO Shop at Home sale this weekend, and i have 44R2. That's late 2012 for those of you not in the know. That says something to me if brand new shipments were produced (or at least packed) 2 FULL YEARS ago. This may become a true sleeper winner.
