New Elementary has the list of new pieces on Pick a Brick - New Elementary: LEGO® parts, sets and techniques: New parts added to LEGO® Pick a Brick I ordered just after midnight and none of them were up then. I suspected it would be later, but oh well. Hopefully availability is generally good for next time I order. The printed elements from 10362 French Café are on, which is great. But the blackboard flag sign (6522783) is $4! OMG! It feels so ludicrous. The printed 3x6 door (6522784) is $2.96. Wow. The unique parts tax that is appearing is pretty poor form.

They would absolutely give us only Thomson, so that you'd have to buy another set to get both Thomson and Thomson. To be precise, it would be done deliberately to get you to buy another set.

It would be a pretty poor move by LEGO to have one half of a pair in an extremely time-bound, limited availability set. A bonus character, fine. Smeagol was a decent example. Not critical to any of the LOTR sets at all. But Pintel and Ragetti are a pair and would be bad form to split them. So yes, it will probably happen.

The way the designers talk, it often seems like they come up with the concept. Unless the same designer is set to create the modular, I suspect there is less chance of a newspaper building being made, because people don't tend to like using others' ideas as much.

Agreed, it looks great, and I really like the idea of the set. I hope they put gingerbread men into the BAM stations for Christmas, to fill it with gingerbread troopers. I could certainly see a gingerbread ATAT being part of the village's Christmas decorations.

The final Dreamzzz wave set names include 71508 Fox Guardian Mech, which might imply a recoloured red fox in early 2026.

I got the Drillster set today, on 30% off clearance, which isn't the best deal, but I like the set. It gives me Super Sonic and Shadow. I'd like to get Knuckles, but don't the sets he's in, and they would have to be crazily discounted for me to consider getting one. Hoping the next wave has a better option.

All those sets are retired, but it's still available as a Bestseller on Pick a Brick, so really no excuse. https://www.lego.com/en-us/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=39696 I might get four of them to have a bit of flexibility, in case I end up with different figures in there.

Oh, I didn't realize those parts are still in production, that does seem a bit odd. I don't like the torsos either, and will replace the figures with the retro space CMF figures, which will fit really nicely with this.

I like it. Yes, the helmets are a bit odd, and I'm not a fan of the torsos being used but I don't care about it that much. To me, minifigures are a secondary consideration of the set. The rest seems extremely faithful to the original model and I think it looks terrific. Easier access to it would be appreciated, but LEGO has been saying for a couple of years that they are going to do more of this. The lack of exclusive parts/prints is great though, making it a lot easier to part together.

Just looked it up, and it's very neat!

I tried to buy two - one for display, one to keep sealed - but I couldn't add them both to my cart, so I gave up.

I've been building some of the Star Trek midi scale ships by skyfox2k on Rebrickable and combined the Enterprise D with the Milky Way galaxy. I really like this scale, so I hope the official LEGO set is as good of a build and doesn't feel over the top at the size it is. Presumably the saucer section will be about 30cm in diameter, so a decent size. Balancing it on the stand may be challenging!

Thanks! I should have known to keep delving. Yes, monochrome it is. The Bluey torso doesn't interest me, but I thought I'd see if there was a more versatile option. Can't believe how rare it is.

That looks amazing! Many lovely details throughout. I love what you've done with the whip!
