Are you all mad? No way they’d include the iceberg (what would that even look like?!) It’s in poor taste for an already controversial set. Look what happened with Jabba’s Palace.

Creator Expert Landmark Buildings - Rumours and Discussion
Lucarex replied to Vilhelm22's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thought did cross my mind (Fenway, which would then lead to Anfield) but it’s very niche sport other than US and maybe Japan. Limits sales. Then again, OT isn’t exactly iconic by any standards and a crumbling wreck, so who knows. -
Not to forget the new panda Brickheadz set... Not my first choice of black and white animal but enough about that orca

Comfortable isn’t the word I’d use. It won’t be anywhere near Colosseum big though, as @Vilhelm22 suggested, it’ll be Maersk-sized and priced accordingly.

Brickfanatics reporting this. If I had to guess, I’d say either Barcelona’s Camp Nou or the Allianz in Munich. -
Years later I still kick myself for not grabbing the last Maersk instore... Anyway, whilst this definitely sounds an interesting build at this scale and the subject is fascinating (even more when I have family links), I’m not sure I’d personally want to display a model of a ship in which 1500 people lost their lives.

Not quite in hand yet but love the micro Temple of Airjitzu and also in general, the massive koi in clownfish livery.

SL arrived this morning (as suspected the sender address was given as LEGO, Geel, Belgium) and had email confirming delivery of NG on Friday. Both were release day buys, although SL was a back order.

New LEGO 18+ Botanical Collection - Beginning with 10280 Flower Bouquet and 10281 Bonsai Tree!
Lucarex replied to Vilhelm22's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Belated thanks for the earlier photoshop, and yes, I really like the lighter “wood” base as you’ve built for real. Not a fan of the “poofy” look though sorry, looks more like a normal tree (one you could stick that new awful Winnie the Pooh minifig under) than a cultured layered bonsai. Especially love the alien bog plant in the instructions and have also grabbed a load of different coloured leaf elements (including pearl gold palms) with the idea being to swap out design every season. Currently sporting the 100 pink frogs of Sakura, yes I know it’s a couple of months early, but can’t help craving beauty and nature these days. -
Seems there’s probably a shipping hub somewhere in Benelux? I’ve discovered a new found patience these days, what with work, kids, and literally everything taking a lot longer to deliver. Got Spring Lantern and NG in a race (more tortoise than hare) to see who will be delivered first. It’ll be a nice surprise if one lands before the weekend.

The Disneyfication vs Classic argument is one thing, but this minifig (think we can assume it’s legit from the dual molded arms) is awful. Megabloks awful.

It hasn’t really, just added to the paperwork. DPD appears back up and running and I’ve received 2 orders from LEGO since Jan 1st, with the Spring Lantern Festival now en route (back order). Yes my NCG order still in warehouse but I’m ok with that as it was only last Thursday and it’s now just Monday. Imagine it will ship later this week. Time right now has really slowed down so the perception everything is taking a lot longer seems exaggerated.

Ninjago Movie Screen-Accurate Mech Recreations
Lucarex replied to GLAP23's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
The money shot. Outstanding work! I can only admire. Just makes me sad LEGO didn’t choose to scale up either of the big two mechs.
