Set seems good, won't skip this one. Give-away isn't something I need to scramble for, for which I'm pleased. It means I can purchase the set at a better financial moment.

On the one hand you don't want rare exclusive minifigs to be limited to day one purchases (and with such a high cost set), but on the other hand if it's the only way to get a fell beast, and comes with generic nazguls & orcs you want more than just one copy!
Lose-lose!

What about those rope pieces? For an 'illegal' solution you could cut the other stud off.
-
Purple & orange are out there, but relatively expensive. For dark pink, I have used magenta.
-
Whatever colours they do, I hope it is what the motorbike helmet exists in... since every single one of my Classic minifigs had his helmet replaced by those. First out of necessity, then later for consistency. (Except the brown ones with obvious annoying reason.
)
Also, most of the reissues used this helmet until after The Lego Movie inspired the old clunky one's comeback.

Although the lines on the latter are blue, which I did not know until now.

Same... (but I didn't get Rivendell - too expensive). I don't get the appeal. They are uglier blocky versions of Funko Pops that look terrible enough in the first place.

Hmmmmmmm... who could I use that on...

All of that stuff could've been just to placate the rumbling nostalgiers, but that posted video is either hinting something, or is plain trolling

That new helmet is actually disappointing. I will be swapping it out for old ones.

Very clever!

TLG posted this video today...
So the market research says that kids DO like the old stuff. So the annoying folks that keep saying they don't can officially eat a hat.

When TLG post this video today:
just about ANYTHING is possible... even though yesterday I would've said 0% chance of anything similar soon. Maybe something of Classic resemblance is actually in the works?
-
Ah. That was actually disappointing, but I do like the armour.

Gonna need pics!

I only disagree with #5, I think for children the 'dollshouse' format for play is very important. Otherwise the building needs to fold out, not just have a removable roof - that's too fiddly for kids. I never found any problem with imagining back or front walls on anything!

This is a characteristic of most Space, Castle & Pirates releases since early/mid 90s, and to their over-all detriment for long-time collectors like myself.
All of the waves & factions of Castle from 1984 to 1992(93?) or so went together seamlessly. Classic helmets didn't really gel with the visored replacement, so otherwise 1987 to 1993 or 96 Space (depending on one's opinion) was likewise seamless. Pirates was more like 1989 to 1993 or 94. Now, everything just sits in its own sandpit - too bad if your KKII knights, UFO aliens or such don't 'go' with anything else!
-
Great! More pics...?

No airtanks, but still wearing their helmets inside?
I don't need/want that set
(hooray!)

I found the space lab set at Kmart... $50 instead of $70... now I remember why I only buy exclusive stuff from S@H!

It will be interesting to see if people still find a mix of large and small codes elsewhere as these start to pop up. Our releases down under have been a month later ever since 2020.
Has this series been demonstrated to have useful codes? Wouldn't surprise me if TLG repeated what they did when they found out we worked out the early series.
The only series 25 boxes I saw were at Coles, and if that code is the large one I'd hate to see how small the small code is. Consequently I didn't try scanning it.

That is the saddest thing ever, all of those sets are terrific. At least the rats at the tip got to play with it all. Along with the red Futuron minifig (you know, the really rare one) that I lost somehow after it fell off the table and was never seen again. Don't know how many times I searched... vacuum cleaner must have eaten it.

Let's just say it took me a fair while afterwards to find all the bits on the floor, fix the drawbridge mechanism and swap back all the minifig components that got swapped around.
And they wonder why people resort to Kragle

Very nice! I agree about the face. Looks like he is saying "StarscreeEEEEAAAMMMMM!!!!"
You have to compromise somewhere on a G1 Megatron, the original toy looked terrible in robot mode, so if anybody can make a version that transforms and looks good in both robot & pistol mode, they are an absolute genius.

A fair argument most of the time, but Tolkien wrote very specificly about how his words are pronounced, so you have no real excuse!
