Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
danth replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Is this what they mean by "sticker shock"? I have to imagine that Lego assumes anyone buying this is a Batman fan first and a Lego fan tenth, and won't have the righteous hatred of stickers that seasoned Lego fans develop. Or that they're collectors who won't bother to open the box. -
LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
danth replied to Lyichir's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I'm not sure there is any proof of it not selling. "Must not have sold well" is such a easy thing to say without any thought or actual knowledge that I don't trust it any more, even when a designer supposedly says it. How poorly could have Alien Conquest really sold if Lego released Galaxy Squad soon after, with some of the alien designs looking similar to the leaked canceled Alien Conquest sets? -
The Love for Printed Pieces Thread/Sticker Resentment Thread
danth replied to danth's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of totally sticker free sets that are out there lately. For instance the Interstellar Spaceship and the midi-scale Millennium Falcon from this year. And of course the fire sets @TeriXeri mentioned above. Correct me if I'm wrong but: Sonic Sets are sticker free (except for the Ideas set) Animal Crossing sets are sticker free All 4+ and 5+ sets are sticker free (this year at least)- 183 replies

https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/7c37425a-7cc4-4188-b3bf-a43316396101?query=&sort=top#global-search-app The winners of the Explore The Cosmos challenge have been announced. Apparently these might be turned into insider rewards sets? I didn't know about this contest at all so didn't submit or vote. -

Man, still nothing on the rumored Moments black spaceship. Is it vaporware? -
Ooh I really like those little pods!

I just built the Micro Rocket set. It's pretty great. Other than stickers, I have no complaints. All builds are super cute and fun. I tried to put on the first small sticker with just my fingers and oof, big mistake. They're so small and my thumbs are too big...so I switched to using a brick separator after that. And then I got to the long sticker. Static cling made it bend and stick to the tile before I got it into position. Arg! But anyway. At least the parts are nice. Love the new parts in trans yellow. I think keeping the baby face prints would have been funnier, but I get what they're going for with the classic smiley. -
I just realized the Rover leaked on the last day of Febrovery. But only because it's leap year. Also, this is the first official Lego rover that reminds me of a Febrovery rover, thanks to the awesome colors and fantastic shape.

It's absolutely amazing. Wow. Minidoll fans always getting the sets I want. 😠4 of those quarter domes in a $35 set is surprising in a good way. Also surprised to see an alien astronaut!

I tried, but as the questions became more meaningless to me, I just couldn't continue. -

I bought the space cab and built it, and really liked it as a cab, and didn't bother to open the bag with the white wheels. I have plans for an Ice Planet MOC which will use those. Don't click if you're tired of the sticker/print discussion:

I will say that yeah, it's gotta be easier to print on round tiles because you don't have to align them in three dimensions but that's not a storage/tracking issue. And yeah, maybe if you print on the same parts in the same color, it's easier to do all the prints at once straight from the mold and them drop them all into the same bag. That's probably why, for example, we got multiple prints on white 2x2 tiles in the Galaxy Explorer. Being smart about color/part choices to enable more prints? Great, do it. But running out of bins is a non issue. Even ignoring prints, you're going to run out of bins, and that's when you put all your parts into a bag and then get your bins back.

Parts going into bins isn't the problem, running out of bins is the problem. Once you put parts into a bag you get the bins back. This is why Lego bags have smaller inner bags. Really, the whole "bin" excuse is a farce.
