Awesome diorama and building technique! If only we had Skyrim Sets in stores instead of them stupid Overwatch...

Hey Roberto, great new minifig designs, as always. The Giraffe Guy from the New CMF LEGO Movie 2 Series seems to resemble very much like your Series A Giraffe Guy. The Dragon Suit guy from Series 18 is also similar. Does TLG give you any credit or do they just copy your ideas? Why not sell them the designs or do a cooperation with TLG? I would rather see your minifigs then this constant BS of licensed minifigs. You keep everything classical, with 16 minifigs per pack and a good box distribution as it should be. Miss the times when a bag cost 1.99€.

Hopefully the 500€ HP set will not be just a bigger Hogwarts castle with the same minifigures as 75954.

The good: Some costumed minifigs in this Series have beautiful design (like the dragon) and are loved by many fans of LEGO. The bad: repetitive characters (2x balloon kids, 2x brick costumes) or too similar to previous releases (unicorn, clown), 17 minifigs instead of 16/20 like before (anyone who displays CMF's on 48x48 baseplates like me will understand) The ugly: orange baseplates (ruins anyone's display look, as if Batman 2 CMF wasn't bad enough with a useless logo print), that cat costume just looks wrong I don't want to repeat myself through multiple forum threads but there are enough examples of standard (non-licenced) minifigs that TLG could create without the need to make dozens of new part moulds and justify increasing CMF price tags, like these ideas here: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/132488-some-ideas-for-cmfs/. Besides, if I want a classic looking minifigure I can just buy an original, used one on ebay (parents almost sell them off for pennies after their kids grow up). So I think the re-issue of a 1978 police minifig is useless.

Roberto, TLG should take example of your creative ideas and go back to the normal collectible minifigures which were perfectly fine until these expensive, licensed, crappy minifigs came up. Now there are rumors Harry Potter will be next. There are so many possibilities with designing new minifigures that one has to wonder why TLG made so many repetitions of the same type in both genders. I really hope to see some day your designs on the shelves while you get the credit you deserve. Or maybe in the future we will be able to design our own LEGO minifigures and pay&print them. Keep up the good work!

The posters are available in Germany too, but the day 1 posters of the MF were already sold out in the afternoon when I got there. Hope I will get #2 and #3 tomorrow since Sunday the Store will be closed.

Today I saw the UCS MF in the LEGO Store Cologne on display. What a huge LEGO ship! But disappointing minifigures if you own 75105 already. https://ibb.co/m54umv

The LEGO Store in Cologne has the UCS MF on display in it's full glory (see https://ibb.co/m54umv). I never saw it in RL before. It's f...ing huge. Unfortunately I didn't win ithe MF at the promotion game in the Store but the consolation price was a free 30611 Because I own 75105 as well (and all smaller MF sets) I am very disappointed with the range of minifigures the UCS MF has. I was expecting more then 2 exclusives and 2 useless porgs. The store worker told me they don't know how many sets they will get on 14th Sept. but he was afraid it will be like an iPhone release so there is no way to guarantee a reservation can be fulfilled.

Which set ever sold exclusively online? It will be available in stores (VIP's after Sept. 14th) for sure otherwise LEGO would not advertise the super duper wheeled box. Or you can bring a forklift with you

So you are saying the weight info on bricklink and other sites about 10179 is wrong? The set did not weigh 10kg incl. box and instructions?

14th September? That would be awesome! A perfect birthday gift from me to me

Dump your girlfriend and buy the set in the store of course. You won't have time for the build otherwise...

I think the wheeled box with handle might be realistic considering that the old UCS with 5174 parts was over 10kg heavy. If we extrapolate this to 7500+ parts it could be weighing aprox. 15kg. No way will TLG let you walk out of the store carrying that heavy box in a bag or in your arms. Shipping will also be more difficult if the box isn't packed in a rigid cardboard outer box. I would rather pick it up from the LEGO store than be afraid of transportation damage.

I don't know if this is real or fake:

I know it was posted before, but here is also the alternative model of the 42050 Drag racer from the 2016 LEGO Calendar.
