It's default space ship, white on top, black on bottom. Still feels future nasa space instead of science fiction/fantasy space. I like it, but it needs a pop of color added somewhere

Thanks, It just arrived. Interestingly was supposed to be 99 total items with the out of stock items removed. I received 176 total items. Some of the parts I received extras past the requested quantities. I don't know if they were being generous for my troubles, or just a mistake. Just ordered a new standard parts order to get the purple helmets

In my experience, their estimate is the earliest it will arrive, but it could be much later. My last 2 Standard Pick A Brick orders took 38 and 49 days to arrive. I'm also 70 days and counting waiting for a Bestseller order to arrive and those say 5 days... Apparently a couple of items weren't actually in stock and their restock keeps getting delayed. This week I was able to talk them into splitting the out of stock items off separately so that the other parts can ship.

There is no notice displaying for the US site as of now

Has it been confirmed they've paused for all regions?

Knight of the Yellow Castle was very popular with the Castle crowd. I saw posts with large hordes of them

As said, those sets are recent, but they are not common. TLG seems to have a lot of nostalgia themselves. If anything this series is quite well rounded and has almost everything covered, but now that you mention it we're missing a pirate 🏴‍☠️ 😜 I'll probably get at least 8 of the figs, of castle and space I'll probably get multiple, but I have a display plan I'm working on for the new big castle. It's my first castle. I had castle figs but never a castle

What regular sets? While Castle has been getting some love recently, it has no dedicated line and hasn't in nearly a decade. Now appearing only in Ideas, Creator, and Icons (anniversary). Classic Space happens to get an anniversary set this year, but otherwise the only reasons we have seen any Classic Space sets in recent years is due to the Lego Movies. Typically we only see Classic Space minifigs in books, CMFs. I think you're falling prey to recency bias because Castle and Classic Space both have big sets right now, but you're not taking into account how rare that is. Castle and Space (various) are are also staples of CMF and definitely belong in this series

Some parts such as the Black Falcon torso and the black Dark Knight Helmet showed back in stock the last couple of days, but are already out of stock again. I saw this come up in one of the facebook castle groups where people were talking about placing large orders for the Black Falcon torso as soon as it showed back in stock

My store has so far been laid back about it. I don't think they checked it at all when they rang it up this time, if he did it was quick, but I always assume I'm going to get challenged on it. So far I've done it 5 or 6 times and only had it questioned once. Even then after I pointed out it still matched the 15 pieces total, they kind of shrugged, might have checked with another employee, and ended up being cool with it Edited to fix grammar

I went a few weeks ago and my store didn't have them. I went on the 15th to get the Forest Hideout GWP and they had them. I didn't get 3 complete figures but picked up 15 various pieces, including 4 of the new BF torsos, and a few BF shields

I saw that promobricks recently went to the Cologne Lego store that reopened and they had the CMFs presorted by figure, but were limiting purchase to one of each type. I'm curious if this is unique to the Cologne location, or if others will be doing that Edit: Commentor said the Berlin store confirmed by phone they are also doing this

Is it possible to get a copy of the original pirate bay entry that you guys have masterfully recreated? I'm wanting to use it as inspiration, and would love to get a closer look

Lego Shop already had an order backlog before the set launched. I think with so many people stay at home, physical stores closed, and the double VIP points promotion that just ended, they've seen a big increase in online orders. I placed an order for US delivery on March 28th, shipping label wasn't generated until April 4th, and it wasn't picked up by FedEx until April 6th. I ordered Pirate Bay a few minutes into April 1st, so best case I'm not expecting any movement on the order until tomorrow at the earliest, if not a few more days or even into next week. I miss the Lego Stores being open, as I have one only a few miles from the house I haven't made any specific plans for my build. I do plan to build it out as the bay, then convert it to the ship. At that point I want to try to rebuild a custom version of the Bay/docks with what I have on-hand. Not identical to the original Ideas, but something to put a building or two back. I might also customize the ship, change some parts/colors. I want to display it with 6271 Imperial Flagship and Renegade Runner, both of which I just rebuilt for the first time in probably 25+ years

I don't get classic NES style Mario from this figure. It looks more like a Duplo figure based on the Brickhead style dressed as Mario
