Look what came in the mail today!!!

 

Wife really wants this set which comes out in a few weeks

Beauty and the Beast Castle 43263 | Disney™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US

 

Love that Batman set. It’s so detailed and has so many cool references. Also the built in wall mounts are great for display.

 

I’m planning to display it in my work cubicle

 

Current progress

 

Not a fan of “The Shire” set. It’s such a let down to me after the last two and doesn’t even look that good (and the side builds are meh which doesn’t help the overall look or feel). Will pick up during a sale or double points period. Good thing is usually sets live for at least two years so no immediate rush to buy it especially when other sets coming soon have my interest more

 

lol I said all this shit only to see that the Sméagol/Deagol GWP was still available so I decided to buy it today.

 

receiving this in the mail today for my wife

 

Monkey Palace, a Lego tower-building game for the whole family, is 32% off

Balrog/Gandalf set leaked: releases June 1st for $120

 

Ah, to build the wings or not to build the wings...

 

New castle leaked. This looks nice
Releases Aug 1st for $270

 

The $1000 death star leaked. Baffling it’s going to be $1K for what it contains

 

Yeah, there are a lot of puzzling choices. Was never gonna be something I got as I’m just a casual Star Wars fan but legit feel bad for people who were excited and saving for the last 10+ months that are disappointed by the final product. It’s a goddamn cheese wheel which a bunch of empty space and smaller versions of existing sets. Insane stuff and to be a fly on the wall during the design stages of this.

 

Should have made them modulars that combine into a larger one. Would have been an easier sell and the expectation wouldn’t have been where it is.

 

I'm ready for the Black Pearl set.

 

The black pearl set is pretty sweet, but I think I'm going to hold out on buying another set until I buy Barad-dur

 

Some info on the first wave of Pokémon sets has come out. 3 sets release in March and the prices are $60, $200 and $650.

That set that’s $650 is immediately one of the most expensive sets they’ve released and it’s in the first wave of doing Pokémon sets lol.

quick search/ find has the Pokémon set almost certainly in the top 10 most expensive sets:
Death (Slice) Star $999
Millennium Falcon $850
AT-AT $850
Technic crane $700
Titanic $680
Venator $650
Pokémon set $650
Eiffel Tower $630

 

I wonder what it could feature to be that expensive. A Pokemon gym or Pokemon center wouldn’t be nearly complex enough to warrant all of those pieces.

 

Watch them make a giant poke ball with scenes inside that’s actually spherical after not doing that for the $1000 Death Star.
