    June parts should land in October, July parts in November.

    It was a photo taken from the talk at the fan weekend and was posted on a Discord group actually.

    It seems that a number of sets that were (according to rumors) supposed to come out in 2023 have been delayed for whatever reason. Ideas Orient Express is delayed according to the latest rumors. Dune set is delayed (although the movie got delayed so in that case LEGO isn't at fault),. Rumors suggests the Avengers Tower may also have been delayed.

    I cheated, someone posted the actual info from the talk in another forum :P

    I believe the best selling part is the 2 x 2 tile in dark bley.

    LEGO got back to me about the string and refunded the difference between the price listed on PaB and the price listed in the order and said they would forward it onto the right team to figure out why its different and fix it.

    https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=87754 in white would work well, it covers up a lot of the torso (and has built-in airtanks) and I actually own plenty in white (unlike the other suggestions) Could then look for a torso in my box of space torsos that looks good enough when covered up by this helmet (and I can use it with the https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=89159 visors in trans-fluro-orange I have)

    As of right now, both the purple helmets and purple airtanks are in stock. Grab em while you can (I just placed my order that included both along with lots of other awesome stuff, largest PaB order I have ever placed by $ value for sure :) Also, a heads up that if you order part 6219044 (the string from the Looping Coaster set among others) you will actually get 6219055 (which appears to be the cardboard box containing the sting). That seems normal. But what isn't normal is that the price went up (PaB lists the sting at $3.92 and my order details page lists the cardboard box + string at $5.87. Have contact LEGO customer support about it and will see what they say. (prices going up between what's listed in the PaB store and what you actually end up paying doesn't seem OK to me)

    The main thing I am stuck on is finding a torso that could work for ice planet and doesn't cost $$$ like the originals do.

    Are there any recent or more modern (and therefore easier to obtain) parts that would look good in an Ice Planet MOC? Any more modern torsos that could work for Ice Planet figures? (the original stuff is hard and expensive to get in Australia and high shipping costs makes ordering from overseas expensive). I do have a few of https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb4585c01 but I don't think those will work since everyone on the Ice Planet is wearing space suits. For helmets I was thinking https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=49663pb01 in white and https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=89159 in trans-fluro-orange.

    Found the new Halloween parts in the build-a-fig buns at the dreamworld Lego certified store. And with the packs being half price, it's a no brainer to snag a pack.

    Just FYI, LEGO is now listing the Police Station, Assembly Square and Bookshop with a "last chance" tag on their website (at least for Australia and Europe, US doesn't seem to have the label for some reason) If you want any of those, I would jump on them now rather than waiting.

    Scored the greenhouse set (got given it as a thankyou for helping promote our clubs big LEGO show that was on last weekend) and I LOVE it. Close to the best friends set of all time IMO and full of NICE parts.
  14. jonwil
    Doesn't have to be "explorer", could be like the recent wildlife rescue sets which were kinda just about the wildlife (so many Australian animals they could make...)
  15. jonwil
    The dark red hair from the 3 2023 Little Mermaid sets is now in stock if anyone is looking for it.
  16. jonwil
    The LEGO magazines with the polybags (across different themes) are not available in Australia (at least not from any normal retailer)
  17. jonwil
    A theme set in Australia (whether it be something like "Outback Explorers" in City or something else) would be instant "shut up and take my money", I would buy every set in the line for sure (just as I have bought basically every other thing LEGO has put out that is Australian unless you count that overpriced Duplo animal set with the koala in it)
  18. jonwil
    It's absolutely possible that they have an oversupply of certain parts from low demand sets and are putting those parts into other sets to use them up...

    To count as a space theme it has to have multiple vehicles built for flying through space or operating on another planet. Alien conquest has that (multiple UFOs and similar). The most recent City space theme has that (space ships/stations and moon bases/rovers). To count as a Space theme, it has to have coloured windscreens, it can't depict settings clearly specified as being in the solar system (which none of the old school Space themes did and which rules out the likes of Mars Mission) and it can't have molded head aliens (space police 3 and galaxy squad are space but not Space)

    In terms of Ninjago in space, it's a bit hard to do awesome ninja moves in a space suit (and such moves are core to Ninjago)

    The Overwatch Gibraltar is clearly defined in-game as being a launch facility.

    I like that idea, a london underground train would be great to see or a new York City Subway Train.
  23. jonwil
    Surprised assembly square was kept around so long.
  24. jonwil
    I saw a report that a licensed/NASA Space set is comming in 2024.

    I bought this yesterday and I LOVE it. VERY fun build (its been so long since I bought Technic that I forgot just how fun it is to build) and a great looking model given the limitations of the size and price point. I would have loved it in a color other than Verde Selvans (aka lime green). Maybe Viola Pasife (purple) but the lime green still looks decent (and it does appear to be the "default" color for the car that Lambo uses in the marketing so it makes sense)
