    MOC: Canal Street

    Wow, gorgeous! I particularly like the uppermost windows on the right building. But there's plenty of other nice details too, and the composition as a whole is excellent.
  2. Sort of like a combination of the existing short chain piece and the base of the similar tassel piece from Ninjago. Cool!
  3. Just built the Young Dragon Riyu set while catching up on the last episode of the previous season of Dragons Rising! The set is fantastic—I love how good the shaping is and the amazing color scheme. It's probably my favorite small dragon build so far in the theme. I hope this isn't the end of Riyu's growth, though—I can definitely see the potential for him to become an even bigger dragon! As for the show, I continue to be impressed. The characterization is great and the visuals are definitely better than they've ever been. One thing I'd noticed that this last episode reinforced is how trans-coded Sora feels—not in that I think the character herself is necessarily trans (that would be cool, but I don't think Lego's brave enough to make something like that text, at least not yet), but in how I feel like trans people could relate to her in multiple ways (her cute cat-ear aesthetic and pink/white/blue color scheme, the way she chose a name for herself, and the way her parents continued to trust dubious authority figures over their own child's experience and sense of self). The way her parents essentially dismissed the video that exposed the Empress's evil as well as her subsequent breakdown as "fake news" felt very pointed and topical. Looking forward to the new season of the show as well as getting more of this year's sets (I've already picked up Egalt the Master Dragon but will probably wait until the new season debuts to build him, and there are plenty more still on my wishlist).

    [MOC] Microscale 6990 Monorail Transport System

    Love this! The monorail base looks really accurate and the sandy base like you'd see in the old boxart really brings it all together into a satisfying and compact display piece.

    [MOC] Lego City Space Rover

    Another really cool space MOC! You can definitely tell it was inspired by those Technic sets, but you've done a great job converting it into a fully enclosed, full-featured rover. Love the way the cockpit separates, and the way those batteries are enclosed!

    [MOC] Lego City Spaceship

    Very neat MOC! I've been hoping to start seeing people come up with MOCs for this new Space theme. I'll admit it's a little boxy (with very little wing structure to speak of) but the shape is nice, remarkably compact and seamless. I could imagine this being some sort of escape pod or something along those lines.

    Latest news about Lego animal moulds

    I thought the previous tiger looked pretty good—definitely looked at least as much like a tiger as minifigures look like people. A new mold could be cool, but if the new one uses the same mold it'd be cool if it uses regular orange or reddish orange instead of the yellowish orange the previous one used.
  8. Y'know, with a big store exclusive a part of me wonders if it might feature any of the main kids in their regular clothes (possibly with some sort of transformation feature). That sort of thing might not fit in the regular sets that well, but from my experience that sort of more niche thing is more likely to appear in something like a store exclusive (for example, the plainclothes ninja in some of the Ninjago City sets).
  9. I mean, there's a HUGE cross-theme space theme going on right now. Nothing about Dreamzzz prevents a sci-fi theme, any more than themes like Ninjago or Monkie Kid prevented Dreamzzz from launching alongside them. Multiple themes can, and do, coexist.
  10. I don't know why you're assuming Dreamzzz will be around 4-6 years even if it doesn't sell, most "big bang" themes of that sort begin with around a three-year plan (see also Chima, Nexo Knights). I also don't know if your assertion that Dreamzzz doesn't sell is even all that accurate. Lord knows it's not the first time people have assumed that of a theme with good, but not exceptional sales (again, see Chima, Nexo Knights). And when a theme REALLY struggles—like Vidiyo or Hidden Side—Lego typically doesn't hesitate to cut it off even earlier than that.

    71046 Space themed CMF!

    This might sound a little cynical, but it makes sense for Lego to reveal/release the big expensive D&D set before the CMFs. If the big set is revealed first, it will be the only option for people who are into D&D, to either buy outright or save up for it. If the CMFs launched simultaneously, there's a higher chance that buyers might start with the cheaper option and maybe be content with that.

    Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion

    I'm probably not gonna get the BTAS diorama since I don't collect superhero stuff much, but as a fan of the artstyle of the animated series (including the really distinctive looks of its architecture and scenery) I love that they made a set focused on that for a tribute set.

    [MOC] Hatsune Miku (初音ミク)

    Very cute! I like the way the 1x2 round plate you've used for the mouth creates a dimpled grin!
  14. This is true. Back in the day many of those sorts of exclusives would be exclusive to both Lego stores and particular retailers (Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, etc.), but with the first of those out of the picture and direct sales making up a bigger part of Lego's offerings, I suppose two exclusive sets isn't all that many.
  15. Sounds pretty good! A dinosaur robot for Cooper sounds particularly promising. Two Lego store exclusives sounds unusual... Maybe it's a compromise like the final wave of Ultra Agents, which had reduced availability (though hopefully without that reduction taking the form of regional exclusivity this time).
