Boston is such a small area when I'm in town I just walk. But that's the problem with the T, it catches fire all the time. My other problem is even when they fix the trains, by 2028 I think is the goal, the schedules are garbage. The buses and trans stop at like midnight on Friday and Saturdays. In Rochester I'd hop on a bus at 1am to go home in the winter. The T doesn't work and when it does work it still doesn't work right because of corruption and stupidity of the criminals in the statehouse and city hall.I'm always happy to dunk on the T, like how the entire Orange Line had to shut down for a month last summer for safety repairs, but it really was amazing having a system like that even as dilapidated as it is.
Is LEGO Enfield all (or nearly all) jobs where people could work from home?You don't explain why. The Enfield jobs are mostly call center jobs, they already have a nice place worked out, the offices are. Why can't LEGO afford to be there? You also go on to say cities have been gutted because of telework... so why does it matter if the office is in a city or not.
You clearly never been to Boston if you think they have a decent transportation network. Rochester NY has a better bus system then Boston has a transportation system.
It's amazing to me that Rochester, something like the third poorest city in the nation, can have better transit schedules than Boston, the capital of a state full of college students and where there is no room for cars.Legit complaints. Not having all-night service, especially for weekends, is so shitty. Maybe with having missed out on Amazon, Boston can invest that sweet Lego money into funding the MBTA... or buy some less flammable trains that can be delivered sooner than 10 years down the line.
Box art is out for the 2022 Bricklink sets, must be getting near to fulfillment time?
Day 1 on X-men, sure it could be better and have more figures but I’m in. Brick built Simba looks cool too but it’ll probably be more than I’m willing to spend.Some insane 2024 rumours that I wouldn't hold your breath on because having leaked pictures this good this far out is sketchy and way too many fan favorites.
A Zelda set of a tree.
Loads of Disney stuff, brick built characters like we saw with Bowser. Some older Disney like Snow White set that looks like the passed over Ideas set.
Other rumours are the big black LotR tower will get a remake.
A more civilian $400 caste that has a grey goat.
Gotham skyline ART set.
X-Men Masion with only 6 figures.
Oh I didn't see the ones on the fence. I wasn't fully paying attention as I feel the pictures and everything are 100% fake. Might as well have added to the video that 2024 will see Mario miniifigure series. The list is too good to be true to me, and too far off.I see 9 figures there. Magneto, Emma Frost, Cyclops, Prof X, Wolverine, Beast, Storm, and above the fence is Sabertooth and Mystique.
Yeah he looked great but probably like $300-$400.Day 1 on X-men, sure it could be better and have more figures but I’m in. Brick built Simba looks cool too but it’ll probably be more than I’m willing to spend.
Also, that's the other tower.Other rumours are the big black LotR tower will get a remake.
Looks the same.Also, that's the other tower.
The X-Mansion also looks flat.
Truly is bizarre how high paying jobs get extra perks that the salaries would easily cover like rent. Meanwhile low and mid-size paying jobs don't. "Your salary is supposed to cover that!"And my complaints were before covid. Maybe they fixed them, I doubt it. They added late night trains several years ago, then claimed the tens of thousands of people who used them weren't enough and cut them. Meanwhile the law breakers gave themselves 25% raise, the governor gets $50,000 a year EXTRA for rent. I don't get extra money from my job from rent.
Sign me up!
Exactly. They give themselves a pay raise and then a separate rent pay to make it look like their already insane isn't even more insane. Governor Baker to his credit never took the rent pay. NY State lawbreakers didn't get a raise for 20 years, then gave themselves a raise from $80,000 to $110,000 in 2018. Okay, fine, you didn't get one for 20 years. Then right after Christmas in 2022 gave themselves a 29% pay raise because of.... inflation! Thought inflation was only 6.5% - 8.5%. Did they give the minimum wage a pay raise of 29%? Nope. If they raised the minimum wage as much as they gave themselves the NY minimum wage be $20 an hour. But people try shaming me for not voting for democrats. :lol:Truly is bizarre how high paying jobs get extra perks that the salaries would easily cover like rent. Meanwhile low and mid-size paying jobs don't. "Your salary is supposed to cover that!"
If it’s not a crystal skull set I wouldn’t know, each of those pictured represents the original trilogy.Those look fine. Only the three? I wonder what the fourth will be.
That's why I'm curious. We knew there were 4 sets, one for each other the first three movies. The 4th set has been a bit of a mystery.If it’s not a crystal skull set I wouldn’t know, each of those pictured represents the original trilogy.
LEGO Indiana Jones 77015 [Temple Escape Diorama]
So far, relatively little was known about the 77015 set, but we can now shed some light on it. Shown is the scenery from the beginning of the first Indiana Jones film, which was already implemented in the set 7623 Temple Escape from 2008. This time, however, Indy's Escape from the Temple is another of the diorama sets with a black frame and a quote from the film scene. This reads:
“Let us hurry. There is nothing to fear here" - Satipo
"That's what scares me" - Indiana Jones
The temple is slightly smaller than the 2008 set and includes the entrance, the stone ball, the pit over which Indy swings his whip, and the treasury. The figures included in the set are Indiana Jones, Satipo, Belloq and a Hovito warrior. The set consists of 1545 parts and is the most expensive of all LEGO dioramas to date at around 150 euros.
- Set number: 77015
- Title: [Temple Escape Diorama]
- Number of parts: 1545
- Figures: 4
- RRP: 149.99 euros
Well LEGO's own 'logic' is complete insanity. :lol:"The temple is slightly smaller than the 2008 set" and it's 150 euros. Hoo boy.
I'd love if they did the tank from Crusade, but I'm having flashbacks to getting lectured by Eurobricks in 2008 about how Lego would never do a military set (despite guns and fighter planes all over the place).
The gist boils down to employee preferences. Broad generalization alert: pretty much anyone younger than me (I'm 46, late Gen X) wants to be in vibrant urban places, wants to walk, wants to bike, is transit-savvy. The last place they want to be is suburbs and small towns - certainly not until they start families and need to find good schools for children.You don't explain why. The Enfield jobs are mostly call center jobs, they already have a nice place worked out, the offices are. Why can't LEGO afford to be there? You also go on to say cities have been gutted because of telework... so why does it matter if the office is in a city or not.
You clearly never been to Boston if you think they have a decent transportation network. Rochester NY has a better bus system then Boston has a transportation system.
They LOTR leaked photo is already gone but I saw the Deku tree. I love Zelda. I hate that set.Some insane 2024 rumours that I wouldn't hold your breath on because having leaked pictures this good this far out is sketchy and way too many fan favorites.

It's an 80 Euro set and I don't know why LEGO couldn't include 2-3 more segments, it's 20 more pieces. What I've always hated were those 'fire' pieces.150 more pieces on the Temple of Doom set but the track looks so short compared to the 2009 set. WTF.
To quote every ex of mine: "$500 doesn't buy you what it used to".To quote every ex-girlfriend of mine: "I thought it'd be bigger."
The Monkey Kid rocket is $103, 20% off.So LEGO shop uk has some sets discounted with the double vip. I saw 20% of hulkbuster, black panther bust, Ferrari Daytona, Camaro, Optimus, and Atari, 30% off art project and 40% off foosball table.
Hopefully we’ll see some discounts here, I’ll get hulkbuster with that discount.
I was being optimistic, you also forgot to mention the black panther boat that was $40 at Target during Christmas.The Monkey Kid rocket is $103, 20% off.
And don't forget the Queer Eye set for $60.
You think LEGO sticks products on sale in the USA? That's cute. :lol:
I ignored it for $40, nevermind the joke LEGO has it for now. :lol:I was being optimistic, you also forgot to mention the black panther boat that was $40 at Target during Christmas.
I ignored it too...even with my "half off buy anything" rule!I ignored it for $40, nevermind the joke LEGO has it for now. :lol:.
Only reason why I bought it.I almost bought it for the figures because I liked the movie but nah. I rather not.
This is probably going to be LEGOs best selling set. I don’t know what it is about kids and K-pop.The KPop boy band set will be revealed Wednesday night / thursday morning. I know how exciting it is. I'll go make a countdown clock!
An ex of mine LOVED boy bands and then moved to KPOP. It was one of the three things that drive me nuts about him. (The others being he was the oddest racist ever and thinking that wanting to be a Disney princess.) I see the thing being a huge massive hit or a complete Queer Eye failure, no in between like Seinfeld (huge fail outside the USA, fine in the USA.).This is probably going to be LEGOs best selling set. I don’t know what it is about kids and K-pop.
I’m going to guess brickheadz.
