I finished my gym today. We moved to a property that had a 40' x 20' outbuilding that the previous owners let go to disrepair. I started the project in April.

Not sure anyone here was thinking it was great space for a gym 😜

My running theory with these type of sets is that Lego's kryptonite are sets that expand and change what people thought was traditionally possible with Lego pieces. Typewriter and piano are examples of this. So Foosball was something Lego simply couldnt resist - wow! You can even make a working Foosball table out of Lego!!! What a versatile system! Except, turns out that you can't really. But Lego stubbornly kept with the concept and shrunk it down to a workable mini version which looks about as much fun to play with as flying internationally economy class. It just doesnt work at this scale. Maybe a cute 2 minute demo style toy to show off. But to actually play? Please. For $250?? This is NOT the way....

We converted the garage to a gym during Covid although it took forever for all the equipment to come in. It was already built-out (drywalled/recessed lights) so just needed matts. Went to Tractor Trailer and bought horse matts. Tape the seams with black gorilla tape and it works great without the big cost of "gym" matts. All "Rogued Out" now! Not sure I could jump rope either since I'm 6'3" 🙃 Please excuse the mess as I'm building out a new network cabinet . . .

Here are the new to me Kohl’s boxes with reinforced corners all sets arrive in great shape.

Here we gooooo.........

This should never have made it out of the review phase. The ideas line feels congested and diluted.

Everyone knows the best part of foosball is all of the extra players / figures sitting outside of the table. YAY !!!!! Dang it I am becoming JANG, but for that price I can buy actual foosball table. OR spend $50 for a mini tabletop foosball game https://www.amazon.com/WIN-MAX-Foosball-20-Inch-Football-Soccer/dp/B0882KNMPQ

Attachment? You mean the cage attachment? I forget why, but I bought the stand alone lat pulldown (with seated row). Some of the equipment was too tall -- hence no cable crossovers. I wanted to order the power bands but couldn't find the product page when I looked last. They have new equipment out since I made my initial purchases that I wish I had room for. If I were starting now I would probably get the Monster Cave and Cable Crossover's (if my ceiling was high enough). I would never have bought the leg press if I had realized I couldn't do calves on it -- plus I'm more into squats and dead lifts now. That's actually my biggest regret. It was expensive, takes up a ton of room and I only use it to warm up on now. Imo, it was just not well designed. The weights hit against the machine as you raise and lower it and the plate pegs make no sense at all. Once you load the 45's on a set of storage pins there is only room for dimes on the other pegs?!?! Not sure how I feel about the Donkey yet. I need to take the time to really learn the machine. Thinking of getting landmines next with the platform. All rock solid equipment!

Disney Castle on B/O but added a BUZZ to get the GWPs.

Yeah, the height on them is perfect for that size of LEGO box to fit well. I've kept a few of them for that purpose.

I received one too, a pain to break down.

Agree with that sentiment, I would also throw 21305 in there as well.

Remove this spare figures and pointless side build and knock £100 off its price... And I still wouldn't like it. Agree it looks like a GWP set 😬

First discount I've seen on this one...https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Lunar-New-Year-Ice-Festival-80109-Building-Kit-Gift-Toy-Kids-Aged-8-Up-Set-Featuring-Detailed-Winter-Scene-Chun-Sculpture-13-Minifigures-More-1-/733400962?athbdg=L1300

forgive me for stating the obvious but you order this much you know the risk. Not saying dont go all in, but at the same time the risk involved should be taken into account

Correct - I was not using Walmart+ when I got banned. Yes - placed 4 order of SW 3 pack and 3 other sets.

Okay I thought that Image was the gwp - I dont see why any table soccer fan should buy it when it does not resememble the actual game. I dont know why they changed it from the submission - did anyone really expect, that you could actually play table soccer with lego bricks? I think 1 year life cycle and bad seller rank after.

What a bizarre combination of compromises and decisions. Awful. https://brickset.com/article/82644/why-has-21337-table-football-been-scaled-down

Unless this becomes some kind of beer drinking game I don't see it selling well in the USA.

ugly as sin. wow is lego going downhill

Wow. I have never been less tempted to buy a Lego set.

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/table-football-21337 Holy cow. $250??? Edit: I think they went overboard on inclusivity on this one. Should have done ten bog standard figs. By including the full team of 11 on each side with tons of variations the price just got super out of hand, also the superfluous bench build to 'store' all those extra figures. I thought the Black Panther mega-bust was the biggest misstep so far this year but I think they've outdone themselves here.

It ain't just California. We got quoted $18,000 for painting the inside of a 2600sf house. Ended up getting someone to do it for $3500.

Can’t emphasize how much I dislike Zaavi. Damaged/water logged sets. Last order for 2x Technic Formula 1, 42141 got a Minions set instead. Shipped that back but no refund. Credit card dispute failed as well. Go for the daily deals if you dare, but I would factor in a 20% loss/PITA factor on every order.

everything is coming in bags these days. My stack of returns is tall enough to be soon from my own ISS
