    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    The local Lego Store has the tower while the Legoland has the fountain. What I really preferred was when the nearest Lego Store had a set of drawers behind the counter with each of the pieces in the BAM tower in a separate drawer and when it wasn't busy they'd give customers access to it so that you could easily build a full set of whatever the current BAM figures were without searching through the random mix of things in the tower. But head office told them they had to stop doing that.

    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    Up until recently the local Lego Store had all of the new BAM parts sorted in a set of small drawers so if you wanted to just get a set of all of the new pieces it was easy as long as you didn't try to buy more than a certain number of any given piece. But apparently corporate told them they had to stop doing that because it's better to make customers search through the tower. At least they'll still go in the back to get the parts that I can't find in the tower.

    Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    On the plus side, if the GWP isn't happening then I have no reason to spend more money on Lego this month and my wallet will be happy. ;)

    LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

    I finally found the black dachshund today in Canada, so I feel your pain. Still waiting to see if the 2021 parts will show up eventually.

    Seasonal 2021

    This year it's the Halloween Owl (40497) and the Spider and Haunted House pack (40493). They don't do the seasonal vignettes every year. It usually alternates between a year of vignettes and a year of buildable characters. Last year was vignettes, this year is characters.

    Harry Potter 2021 - Rumors & Discussion

    I don't dislike the chess set. Of the new sets that I'm unlikely to buy because it doesn't fit with what I usually collect and I'm running out of space, it's the set that I'm most likely to break down and get anyway. But that being said, it doesn't fit with what I usually collect and I'm running out of space so it's not on my must buy list. ;)

    Latest news about Lego animal moulds

    On the topic of goats, I remember seeing a rumour that the goats that pull Thor's chariot will be in the new Thor movie and I knew immediately what set I wanted them to make. ;)

    On the other hand, if they wait until next year to release a Gringotts, Diagon Alley might finally have come back in stock... ;)

    VIDIYO - Universal Music 2021

    I'm finding the app disappointing and clunky. The minifigs are what I'm most interested in so that's not really tragic, but it is making me second guess whether to get some of the beatboxes and bandmates for my niece's birthday since I don't think she's going to have the patience to use it much.

    LEGO IDEAS 21326 - Winnie the Pooh

    This is the first Ideas set in a while that I think is better than the original submission - and I really liked the original submission. Happy to take the trade off of getting all of the new head moulds meaning stickers instead of printed tiles. I just wish that Pooh had some printing on his stomach to make him look chubby instead of just a raised shirt that looks like a crop top. But even that is a minor quibble and bothers me less than it did with the original leaked image of the torso.
  12. I vaguely recall reading something about the parts being made in different factories so the ones that are bagged inside the bag were made somewhere else, packaged together in the inner bag, and sent to a second location to be included in the main minifigure package.

    VIDIYO - Universal Music 2021

    I downloaded the app last night and played with it a bit with the virtual bandmate just to see how it worked. I still predict that if I give my niece a set or two for her birthday she'll love making videos - at least for a week or so before she gets bored with it, kind of like how my nephew loved the Hidden Side sets but stopped using the app pretty quickly. Since there's no way to save or share the videos except through the app I probably won't be inundated with her creations like I was expecting to be and I can guarantee Grandma and Grandpa will never see them. Still want a few of those minifigures though - probably mostly ordered through Bricklink since I can't be bothered with random blind boxes.

    A glow-in-the-dark Snape brickhead *might* be enough to make me care about getting a brickhead. ;)

    Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces

    I had a bit of back and forth with customer service over technical issues on the web site a few months ago - some time pre-Black Friday - that resulted in my getting a phone call from someone higher up to explain some of the things they were doing to fix problems on their web site. The funniest part of the whole conversation was when he said "You have to understand that we're not a huge company like Amazon. We're just a family owned business." Sure they're not the size of Amazon but I'm pretty sure they've reached the size to be able to have a working ecommerce system.
