Craigslist for the win! $350 total. I have purchased from the seller in the past and he meticulously puts the pieces back in the original bags and tapes them shut when disassembling. I never thought I would get the Technic supercars, but I couldn't pass this up.

Modern Art: Not sure what the part out value is on this set for you BL sellers but it is Chock Full O’ Bricks. I was able to pick it up for 40% off so great value but not much investment potential here. Only 7 extra pieces and no stickers. Build: 7 Play: 6 Display: 7 Value: 7 Next up the McLaren Senna!

You, sir, are correct.

Here is the link to the Fan vote for the new space minifigure and castle faction. https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/bc71ade6-038c-47fd-bb34-15493ca61cc1 It was a tough choice but I went with:

Batman: The Animated Series Gotham City I haven’t watched a single episode of the show so I don’t get any of the references but there are so many hidden inside of the build I am sure a fan will really enjoy this set. But there is my first of many issues with this set, the hidden build. I plan to hang this on the wall at work and so much of the amazing micro build is hidden away in layers never to be seen again. Next up would be stickers there are around 70 of them on 2 sheets and I had to order replacements because they were faint and off center. I had to make another order when I got to bag 30 of 44 for the 1 missing piece that I did not have an extra of and was not pulling from my MBS Cantina since it was not critical to the build. The piece count is ridiculously inflated as evidence by 163 extra parts. There were so many places where 1x1 plates and tiles were used multiple times when 1X2 would have worked. It does make the build more engaging but the price. I pre-sold the 4 minifigures, now only Catwoman is exclusive, and the stand for $160 to help offset the price of the set which is just too high. Maybe when this set goes on sale for 30% off or more I could recommend it but the usual 20% off just won’t cut it. They could have ditched the minifigures that don’t even display with the set and lowered the piece count and made the set $200 which is where it should be priced, or at least given us more printed elements, there is only ONE unique to this set a printed red Batman 2x2 tile that you don’t even see. Now for the good! I love these 3D art sets and this one does not disappoint the build is fantastic and the display is so intriguing I just wish there was an easy way to show some of the amazing details inside of the buildings hidden behind the facades. If you can pick this set up for $200 it is worth it Build: 8 Play: 2 Display: 8 Value: 4

Went to a newer Legoland. Didn't buy anything too interesting but love the bag.

Starry Night, hmm, this one is very interesting, different and challenging. It is more like a rebrickable MOC and definitely is an IDEAS set. There are mistakes in the instructions on pages 56 and 62 which makes you think that you are missing pieces but once you realize it and go back and fix the build with a color swap it just gets brutally harder with the Night Sky Wall. Dark green and dark blue look very similar under yellow incandescent lights. They give you 2 extra 1X4s in all of the colors knowing mistakes will be made. I built a temporary stand to make building the wall more stable. The final product looks amazing with the 3-D depth effect and the ingenuity used for the tree build is definitely next level. Build 8 Display 9 Play 1 because it does come with a minifigure. Value 7.
