2023:

After watching the designer video the SC team really listen to their customers and make changes to give them what they want, unlike Marvel that gives us Black Panther bust and Hulkbuster 3.0. Two years ago people got on them for the trans stickers on the Supra (which did not retire as well as the Jesko) headlights which were very hard to line up all 3 on both sides. So, last year they did all brick built headlights, a big improvement. Last year people hated the Lotus windshield printing so they redesigned the windshields this year and created a new element so they will sit lower on the car and these cars will also sit lower to the ground. The 25% price increases on the singles, they will always go on sale, and the stickers are the biggest challenge. I can’t wait to have at the Porsche I count 34 visible stickers but I am sure there are more.

75274 imperial tie fighter pilot helmet for $260 fbm. 4.3x msrp in a year. how high this thing gonna git?

They look amazing to me, at least most of them. Not in terms of the subject matter, but in the execution. And of course we love the new price points, will make our retired sets look more affordable!

Personally, I think they look awesome. Probably their feedback is pushing for the newer super cars. I imagine their demographics are getting younger and the "iconic/vintage audience is getting smaller. Maybe its a brick limitation, but I have not been impressed with their vintage builds except the larger expert builds which look great.

nice but clearly a step back from 2022 and 2021 maybe I am bias w/ iconic vintage set mixed w/ contemporary, but all super car line-up (most I never heard of), is meh for me.

New in the Rewards section the 2023 Panda Creator polybag (500 points) and a refreshed version of 2018's 30541 Animal Free Builds polybag (300 points). Might be a new keychain as well - there are 2 retro keychains now. Not sure if 1 is new, or I just wasn't paying attention... No sign of the next Bricktober yellow-box version, yet....

Just sold one for $240 in the last few days, very glad I held back sending more in Q4. These are the type of sets that thrive in Q1-Q3 = $$$$. $260 is my new floor, thanks for the info.

The School is really bad, kids have to stand at their desks, the bus only holds 1 passenger, poor seller with bad reviews, will probably end up being a winner. I passed but BN is a good deal.

So I know we are about to break into 2023, but was just inquiring, is Brickfolio ever coming back? The only thing I can imagine as to why it hasn’t come back is some lawsuit is preventing it from doing so… I have to imagine there are too many people that loved Brickfolio that would have paid money or donated their time and expertise to make it come back. I understand you are thinking that there is not enough value in bringing it back or want to create something greater but everyone really would love Brickfolio to return… Happy New Years!

A week ago it was 11° here with a windchill of minus 5, today it was 66° and sunny. So I went kayaking and it was amazingly isolated. On the way home I hit up a Walgreens for 1 more 60% off 75298, and then home to rake leaves.

Working on this. Almost there

I tried contacting him...no luck Perhaps just put the old one up for a week. Let members know and say they have until some date to backup/copy their brickfolio. Then take it down for good.

I like the orange McLaren and the Pagani, but the rest is meh, particularly the Porsche. Yay LEGO!

Funny the difference in opinions on these. I personally think this is one of the worst batch in many years aside from the gray car, Pagoni? Everything just looks very bland and pedestrian. the Ferrari looks like a Ronald McDonald car. Easy wait for half off clearance for me.
