My favorite thing about the Foosball is it shows just how horribly run Lego is. They design the set and gets approved without ever building it in real life. My favorite is the set price is set before it's designed so Lego talked about canceling the set but never talked about just changing the price. It really makes no sense.

You could, quite literally buy a real foosball table for less than the mini, lego version. That’s the truly ridiculous part. Are there any other instances of Lego creating a set of a real life item, that costs more than the item itself? Chess set or the flower sets I guess?

Once Lego started doing so many sculptures that weren’t buildings or cars, it was inevitable.
Foosball table just seems not good as a plaything or a display piece. And even with all the minifigs I don’t have an interest in paying that much for the parts.

As soon as they realized there were issues with it not being strong enough LEGO should have canceled the set or completely rethought the set. However for some stupid reason LEGO was dead set to a $250 price point. The current CEO (Or whatever he's called) is an idiot. 'Only the best is good enough' was replaced with 'Ehh.... good enough'.

Not sure if I’m feeling the Jazz Club. I love the idea of a Jazz Club, but visually this feels so mediocre and I dislike the two small building modulars vs one large building ones.
Will wait to see the inside but this may not be a day one purchase for me.

The rumour was the jazz club would be on top of the pizza shop so that's much better. However it feels weird. Looks like a movie theater, the sign is terrible. I do love pale yellow so that looks nice. The club is very smooth. Above the windows must be a new piece. A 1x2 rounded off with a stud in the middle.

Jazz club hosting a music show seems odd, not that I’m familiar with either. I’m interested in seeing the interiors but I’m kinda meh. Promobricks saying Lego up to their old bs of having a GWP tie-in that won’t be available when modular released.

We have known that for months. The rumour is the February GWP is a pizza van. I'm fine with LEGO doing that if the set would still be in stock by then, we know it won't.
I just went to Eurobricks to see the response. Half of them are acting like attacking the design of the set is attacking the designER of the set. The other half had some insane conspiracy theories last week still think the set is fake. If anyone here is a therapist go over there, you will be set for life.

I'm not as dialed in as you. All I've read for the past few months were people arguing whether 12/10 meant Dec. 10 or Oct. 12. Oh, and that Greek rumor that seriously suggested it would be a strip club.

I thought I said it here. I try to keep it up to date in here.
There was some great fun on Saturday when all the 10 year olds went online claiming that the set would be revealed on Saturday December 10 in Singapore. Even thought 12-10 is October 10th there and in Denmark because 'jazz' is American. Then it turned out LEGO wasn't at the Singapore show and everyone started claiming the theme was canceled. I thought video game people were nuts 20 years ago, but damn LEGO has them beat. Those same people think the picture is fake because it looks like an MOC. It looks nothing like and MOC I have ever seen.

Walmarts around me have started clearance already. Millennium Falcon is $120, Bad Batch shuttle is $75, the 501st battle pack is $19 (but long gone). Some other decent drops but really their online discounts this season have been crushing my budget.

Target has few sets on sale today only too. Half off new Black Panther boat set.
You telling me children don't want a massively overpriced boat that looks NOTHING like the boat in the movie? Shocked! (However the figures go for a lot on Bricklink.)
Maybe I should price match and get my $3 back on two of those Batman motorcycle sets.

Slickdeals has the Target deal so expect things to be sold out soon. They are arguing if $90 for the boat is the real price. They aren't old enough to Google for themselves. I bought the art set. I need something new on my wall and I'm out of display space.
The Jazz Club looks good with the other modulars, however it was going to be dark blue and other designers thought it was too dark! Such a shame as it would go from a solid 6.5 to like an 8.

LEGO says you have 60 days to use the VIP codes. You don't if it's physical. I spent 500 points on Santa Claus polybag. It added and disappeared to my bag. I email LEGO and this is their reply. Super nice bonus points but really weird.
I'm so sorry, but it looks like the Santa Claus reward has sold out.
The code was applied to your order, but the set didn't add because it's no longer available. I've returned the points to your account, plus added 2,250 points.
