Agree. While I said the mini golf one is really cute, I'd probably rather have the Viking Village first. The fish one I don't care for.Ugh … the mini golf set seems really fun, but I love “base” sets like the Viking Village … and the fish are nice too. I vote … for all three!
That would be a sweet gift with purchase for the LEGO anniversary castle set … I’m really building this castle set up in my mind
Except the Forestpersons (It's 2022 after all) set comes out in June, huge castle comes out in August.That would be a sweet gift with purchase for the LEGO anniversary castle set … I’m really building this castle set up in my mind
One of the first sets I remember having was a Wolf Pack set, if they don't give me a new Wolf Pack I will be pissed.I didn’t know the next CMF series will be tied in with the 90th anniversary stuff. That could be fun
:shock:I really see no evidence of AFOLs moving away to other brick-brands besides you. Most AFOLs love LEGO the product, not the format of LEGO or the concept of interlocking bricks and parts.
Thanks! I kept meaning to buy this and forgetting. 30% off is good too.Just read on Reddit, Best Buy’s ebay store has tons of retired sets available right now.
My German is rusty, and I'm too lazy to use google translate. Does the remake include the base plates!?!?$350-$400 Castle 9 Lion Knights, 2 Falcon, 2 Forrestman![]()
For non-LEGO Castle fans....
SPACE!!!!
A REMAKE OF THE FAMOUS 497 SET FROM THE 70s!
1254 pieces $110-$150 because LEGO Euro to USD makes no sense.

You aren't using chrome? Does it automatically most of the time.My German is rusty, and I'm too lazy to use google translate. Does the remake include the base plates!?!?
What box? We haven't been shown the set yet.It's on the box itself, so I'd assume so
Totally agree … hopefully that’s a fan MOC and not the actual set. I guess they really want to get that 45+ year old money or something, because that Space set is a ways before my time and the retro design would do nothing for me.I'm torn...I appreciate them going back to the old space theme, but it looks so blocky. I've gotten used to the newer, smoother designs.
It's like going back to the old VW Bug design

The pictures are from the Classic. SPace set that the new one is inspired on.I thought he was asking about the space set's 2 base plates, since the site is in German.
Yes but not as cool as you would imagine. There was Life on Mars and Mission to Mars. They were fun for their time, although the aliens were a bit odd. Also there weren't any baseplates.Has LEGO ever had a Mars themed series?
About 40 years ago. :lol:When did they stop producing those?
I love the set. The Van Gogh Doctor Who episode is a favorite of mine. The set just seems very expensive for what it is.Grabbed Starry Night this morning. Had the site up last night, but apparently passed out before it went live. Good thing not everyone is geeky about Van Gogh as me.....Got both GWPs and actually remembered to use my code for the Ulysses Satellite!
I have a huge stack of the old City road baseplates, but no space ones![]()
You can use this year's moonbase and pretend it's Mars.Re: Mars
Those are kinda neat, but not what I was picturing at all. I'm thinking they could/should revamp the classic space theme to fit Mars instead of the Moon. I'm picturing The Martian (Matt Damon flick) but with LEGO in my head. More science based/exploration instead of... aliens. lol
I regret not getting a friend of mine to pick it up for me.Costco is peak ymmv. I see posts on Reddit with all sorts of sets that never make it to my area. I did get Boba Palace for $60 but right now the entire toy section at my nearest store is a pallet that’s half Pokémon cards and half squishmallows
For sets, I haven't found anything better than bags as far as cost and space taken. As long as the bag can fit the instructions, it's easy to identify the sets.Basically, is there a craft storage box or something that makes more sense than a bunch of zip lock bags in a storage tub - something big enough for 100-200 piece set range and instructions that can be easily accessed and stored.
Cost wise you've nailed it. We buy Freezer Slide Lock bags in quart and gallon size. Most have a writable white area so we put down the name and number of the set. Put those in big plastic tub. The bags squish together and minimize wasting space. We keep the manuals seperate so they don't get ripped up.Anyone have a suggestion on storage for smaller sets?
My daughter has been building the $10-$20 range sets and we are getting overrun with these things and they are collecting dust. She doesn't really play with them much after building so I was thinking of breaking them back down in some zip lock bags or maybe some kind of plastic storage boxes (put them all in a big plastic tub) so she can easily go through and pick out sets to rebuild later.

I use these for lose pieces. As everyone else said, bags are great.Anyone have a suggestion on storage for smaller sets?
And Forestmen set starts June 15th.According to the dates on Lego.com, the Cosmic Cardboard Adventures GWP will now be available through 6/14 (or while supplies last). Good news for those waiting for June 1 sets. The Amusement Park is still listed as ending 5/30.
I regret not getting the first Santa Vader but the Ugly Christmas Sweater Vader is awesome. I think I even like this one more.Hell yeah … came here after seeing Beach Vader … wasn’t disappointed.
I normally resist the advent calendars, but Beach Vader and his shirt are definitely joining my collection.
Hopefully Costco carries the advent calendars again this year.
The scarf was super lame because there is a red scarf piece you can just add to the normal figure.Those Vaders are great. Mandalorian just mailed in it last year with a scarf

LEGO has recently extended the promotion for the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) on the LEGO Shop and Brand Stores. It was supposed to end at the end of May but it has been extended to June 14 or while supplies last. This is great news because some of the new June releases such as the LEGO Transformers Optimus Prime (10302) can now qualify for the set and many fans were hoping for that.
