I myself am waiting for the new coaster track and that half curved clear pillar from Avatar (among other things) Zero interest in Castle or soccer :) Also hoping the Jane Goodall torso comes back in stock. (And the corner mountain piece)

I would love to know which idiot thought that George clooney would make a good Batman... He did good in ER and those coffee ads but was a lousy Batman.

If Lego ever did any Australian animals in system (not Duplo or Friends) style it would be "shut up and take my money". Heck, I am even giving thought to snagging the Duplo koala in my next online PaB order (although it's a bit on the expensive side...)

I recon a Wayne Manor with underground Batcave would sell well as a larger d2c (think Daily Bugle sized)

So far for pilots I have 4x https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb2774c01 and https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=970c06pb04 plus 1x https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb1330c01 and https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=970c80pb01 Still considering more pilots, options available to me at a price that I can justify are either https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb2131c01 and https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=970c00pb0453 in dark orange or https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=973pb2553c01 and https://www.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=970c00pb0605 in dark blue. Anyone want to suggest which color (dark orange or dark blue) would look better for a navy flight suit?

If the rumors are true and we are getting a jazz club, I hope we get a saxophonist, after all the saxophone is an iconic jazz instrument (I am disappointed we didn't see a saxophonist in the Jazz ideas set)

I am intending to stay purist for this (except for some custom stickers)

I can see 3 reasons why LEGO would ban Zelda from Ideas: 1.They have been told by Nintendo that Nintendo wont give them a license for whatever reason (or wont give them a license on terms LEGO is OK with) or 2.They are making (or intend to make) their own Zelda products

With any luck, the purple airtanks and helmet will appear on PaB in April or so and that will stop the aftermarket going totally insane on price.

If anyone is interested, the 6 x 6 radar dish in tan is now listed on PaB. Its only appeared in a Toys R Us exclusive LEGO Ninjago Movie Sensai Wu BrickHeadz.

Green airtanks do exist but yes a green classic space helmet would be nice. 100% I want light bley airtanks though.

Anyone else having an issue where the LEGO site just says "access denied" when you go there (or if it works, it stops working immediately after)

Can't see myself buying any of these, not unless I can get a REALLY good discount.

For those interested it appears as though the special flower piece/funky head from the Orchid set is now available to buy on PaB (the one that's originally from the Stranger Things set)

A TV station would be cool.

A whole bunch of parts have gone MIA (parts from sets that have retired or about to retire) https://legobricksearch.neothermic.com/missing-parts.html has a list of parts that used to be on PaB but are now gone.

A bunch of animals and animal parts (all from sets that have retired or are about to retire. Thngis like the underwater animals (hammerhead shark, sting ray and the other deep sea animals, also all the animals from last year's Wildlife Rescue sets like the elephant, monkey, lion etc) https://legobricksearch.neothermic.com/missing-parts.html has all the parts that went MIA since the start of the new B&P.

I for one want buildings and locations, not mechs, busts and suits.

I am sure the core themes that appear in friends will remain the same (e.g. a lot of people who own, like, play with and care for dogs)

Interestingly it seems that there hasn't been any stock movements (parts going out of stock or comming back into stock) for a few days now.

Picked up a second ship costume guy yesterday to get another admiral torso and hat. Would have picked up a third but the place I was at only had one left in the single box of Series 23 they had on the shelf. For the pilots I already have the torso and legs from a https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0819 and a https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0437 so I intend to use those and then try and acquire some others as well (whatever option ends up working out to be cheapest or easiest to obtain, A-Wing Pilots aren't cheap) Not sure what headgear to give the guys working the flight line though (mechanics and loaders and etc). Do I give them hair? helmets of some kind? Tan baseball hats with https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=14045 stuck into the hole at the top for hearing protection?

At this point I am thinking of using https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973psac01 and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb0307c01 for the mechanics and weapons loaders and others on the flight line. I am also thinking of using the torso and legs from https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0437 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0819 and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw1092 for my pilots (depending on which ones I can actually get hold of) with https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=93560 https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41805 and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=39796 for headgear. For the admirals I plan to use https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb4873c01 and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=12895pb05 The accessories and rest of the model (including the big custom-sticker Top Gun logo I plan to make and various other custom stickers) will sell the fact that this is a naval air station and that these are US navy personnel.

We will know in maybe 6 months from now. The next parts to land (in November) should be parts from the jazz Ideas set and the new roller coaster. (only non-licensed sets released that month)

The big farm doesn't include any corn, the corn is only in the grocery store and the farm van.

I want the frog in olive green.
