i missed out on the 1989 batmobile. im surprised the batwing lasted that long unless they made a lot more for batwing

They both lasted two years according to Brickset. Both should be replaced by minifigure scale sets this summer, which makes me happy.

 
Disney announced today that Up will be remade as a live action movie. The story will be slightly different because 20 minutes into the movie as the house takes off Biden will order the house shot down because it's a 'Chinese spy plane'. Russel then spends the rest of the movie seeking justice and fighting for peace.  :whistle2: 

The set is supposedly $60 for 598 pieces.

598 pieces? Where the hell did they put the other 200 pieces?!? Is that graphic on the box to the left of the figures a new indicator they just threw in a bunch of rando bricks to get the piece count up?
 
The BTS set may sell a million bijillion copies or it may not, but for me it’s the clearest example yet that Ideas is nothing but a lazy cash grab. Nothing more than a bunch of minifigs with a slapped together build for $100. The Office proved the concept works, but at least there was something of a build.

Sets based on existing IPs are anything but “Ideas” as far as I’m concerned. But based on Reddit and Brickset and elsewhere, that’s mostly what people want. Now I’m off to go pound sand.

I was hoping for a parts pack like the Queer Eye set. It has less torsos and 200 less pieces. My thought was '$100 for that?!' and went back to sleep.

I'm fine with IPs. Minecraft started as an Idea, Sonic is supposed to expand. This is just bad.

Looks like 600 pieces to me. The set actually has three walls and details inside, plus a ton of small pieces will be in the ballon area.

My favorite is people are complaining that it's a dollhouse. EVERY building from 1970-2005 was a 'dollhouse'. LEGO didn't make enclosed buildings until the modulars since the 1950s and 60s when the buildings were tiny and like 20 bricks.

Silly design. That's not nearly enough balloons to get that house into the air. At least make the balloon / house ratio somewhat close to the movie.

Licensed sets are what saved Lego. Can't really fault them to keep dipping into that well. More and more, I'm just trying to limit myself to the IPs I actually care about (like BttF)

 
Bionicle is what saved Lego and allowed Lego to pay off the Star Wars license. I have no issue with License things but there have been a ton of great unique things on Ideas and Lego ignored them.

Completely agree on the balloons. Lego never has enough balloons or leaves in sets. I don't know why they didn't use the big balloon pieces they have and add small ones around it but I'm just happy we got that set.
 
And so the "you just don't like the set because you don't like Kpop!"begins.

No it's a bad set. I like BttF and The Flintstones and they were still bad sets. The Flintstones at least had prints.

I still need to build the new Delorean set. But the original minifig scale one was comically terrible. I've seen mods using a large slope for the hood, but haven't tried doing it myself (not that they're great either....just too many issues with the set to fix)

And no one went 'You just don't like BttF!'. It's just a bad set, this Kpop set is just a bad set. However two of the figures look like guys I've dated, it's almost creepy. :lol:

The big BttF car is what I'm currently building. Trying to get some of my (hundreds) of unbuilt sets built.

 
Target has pend $50 get $10 giftcard this week on very selective sets. Some sets are 20% off. Best deal is the Harry Potter Advent is 25.50 so two for $51 and $10GC.

20% off and $10 back on $50 isn't a terrible deal, but yeah the selection is very, very limited.

They also have the Black Panther 2 boat for full price and $10 giftcard. :booty:

The City GWP ends tomorrow and you can get it with any purchase over $100. Then the moving truck comes in on Tuesday for $180 purchase.

Interesting Star Wars rumours. 

New Swamp Troop battlepack, 106 pieces and a price increase to $25. I'm curious to how high does LEGO go with those prices and how high you have to be to buy them.

More fun is a $170 Yavin base. That should be fun or garbage, no middle. 12+ figures.
Getting three Star Wars mechs. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper. Because Marvel and NinjaGo didn't have enough $15 mechs.

For those that don’t want to watch, most of the damn tiktokers and YouTubers get on my nerve.
 
Oh thanks. I wanted to do a picture but all I could find was videos. I just mute them and fast forward until I see what I want.

Who/what is the all white thing?

Baymax?

Anyone think the clone turbo tank will be remade? I sold mine a while ago but my son is really into the clone wars and that's one of the vehicles we don't have. I was thinking of selling/trading my sealed 2013 AT-TE for it.

They will have another one, I think it’s been made 3 times already.

Ah, yes, the watching porn with roommates/SO nearby method.

Everything's too damn expensive these days. Hasbro wanting $35 for Marvel Legends, $25 Lego battle packs with < 150 pieces... can't justify the premium for the product we're getting anymore.

No I need the sound for porn otherwise it just doesn't do it for me.

Too much info?

It's $25 for 106 pieces! So unless it's like 8 minifigures that is an insane price. So happy I'm not into Star Wars and got all the ships I want for cheap. (I do want a Y-Wing) I feel bad for you people who want to army build Star Wars displays.

I’m out of the loop on Disney movies I guess. I don’t recognize quite a few of them

I'm curious to which ones don't you know. Besides The Princess and the Frog, Baymax from Big Hero 6 (Who looks terrible in minifigure form), the two Day of the dead characters from Coco and Stitch all of the other characters are decades and decades old.

Ah. Princess and the Frog. Heard of it but haven’t seen it. Also had no clue that was Baymax.

Is one of them Jiminy Cricket?

Lego shouldn't make fat characters into Minifigures unless they will make a fat suit.

I'm going to give you my Disney + password and you can catch up.

Even those aren't "new." Lilo & Stitch is 20 years old, Princess & The Frog-15 years, and Big Hero 6 is going on 10 years old. Coco is the only one I'd consider remotely "new."

As for the wave, Baymax sounded like a "win" when it was leaked, but a skinny Baymax? lol, no. He looks terrible. I'm struggling to find any that are cool enough to warrant seeking them out. Robin Hood looks great, but I don't have a great affection or nostalgia for that movie. The Coco figs are kinda cool and maybe Dr. Facilier.

I’m just disappointed we didn’t get more obscure stuff that’s never going to make it into its own sets. Gimme some Launchpad McQuack, Darkwing Duck, Monterrey Jack, pilot Baloo, Kit Cloudkicker and I’m buying a case.

You missed out…

Dino riders, transformers, gi joe, thunder cats, Mighty Mouse, Captain Planet, double dare, he man, Smurfs, heathcliff…. I’m sure I can think of more, my sister was watching that 2000’s crap and it wasn’t as enjoyable, 80’s early 90’s was better.
 
Some of those 80s shows were really bad. I used to like Jayce and Wheeled Warriors and I couldn't get through two episodes as an adult (not that anyone remembers it).

SWATKats and Exosquad aged better, but fewer people remember those.

I'd like to see Gizmoduck as a minifig also. Darkwing Duck + Ducktales crossovers were always fun with him and Launchpad.

Talespin Sher Khan would be cool too.

Exosquad was the shit, I used to have some of the mechs. Swatkats is cool too, I have the dvd somewhere around here.

Edit: lol… just read, another xwing UCS may 1st, $40 increase.

Captain Planet, Double Dare were the 90s and you don't seem to understand that once something comes out you can watch it in any decade after. :lol:

Before school I watched Underdog and Mighty Mouse after school it was Gummy Bears, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck; Animaniacs, Garfield, Talespin and Rescue Rangers (the 2022 movie is actually good!) were my favorites. Huge Garfield fan growing up but it's not like I didn't watch Smurfs and Healthcliff.

Alright, I know we’re getting off topic but I can’t let an Exosquad reference go uncommented. That show has aged incredibly well and is still my favorite animated show of all time. Back then, and now.
