LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
jonwil replied to Lyichir's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
Those are not the right shape for Space Police MOCs. -
There are a LOT of BTS fans who will happily pay this much for BTS merch and LEGO knows it.

LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
jonwil replied to Lyichir's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I want the windscreen from the Lightyear spaceship (and the Blactron GWP) in trans-red. Would be perfect for Space Police MOCs. -
The red phone booth looks interesting, its an iconic symbol of the UK and its almost as well known around the world as that other famous red British object, the Routemaster bus. I wouldn't say no to it if the final design looks good and I can afford one. Plus its also got the famous red post box of the Royal Mail in the design as well.

A set similar to https://brickset.com/sets/8404-1/Public-Transport-Station would be great. -

I absolutely want a bendy bus in LEGO. -
How about a ribs piece, that would be awesome to see.

I want to see a Barbecue joint (American style smoked meats) either as a building or a food truck.

Right now LEGO isn't making the 32x32 baseplate in tan (which is why they don't sell it). -

There are definitely instances where parts are cheaper on Bricklink than on B&P and instances where parts are cheaper on B&P than on Bricklink. -
After some thinking and some looking at official sets (and MOCs) for inspiration I have come up with an idea for the wings of a P-51 (the plane I really want for my MOC) so that's a good start. Set 6745 Propeller Power in particular has given me some good ideas. (although the Mustang has an inline V12 Merlin engine and not the 8-cylindar rotary engine the set has)

Yes, if you order one of those 3 elements you actually get a cardboard box that contains all 3 (since that's how its packaged in the set) -
I was more looking for existing LEGO MOCs I could take inspiration from (or even copy or recolor if need be) that might look good so I don't need to try and figure out how to design one from scratch.

Does anyone know of any ideas (or better yet designs that I can copy) for minifig scale US fighters from Vietnam or earlier (e.g. P-51, F-4, older stuff)? And by "minifig scale" I mean "would look OK next to the jets from https://brickset.com/sets/60103-1/Airport-Air-Show" I have 3 copies of the twin tail jet from that set re-colored to represent F/A-18 Hornets and now for the MOC I am doing I need something older I can build to round things out.

If you buy any one of those 3 fabric parts (the 2 flags or the cape) you actually get a cardboard box with all 3 (which is how it comes in the set). That's why the price is as high as it is. -

I just wish they would make the US-only parts available in the rest of the world (I want those dark green trees...) -

I wish they would hurry up and make all the currently US only parts available to everyone (in particular the dark green pine tree) -
Given the whole "be better for the environment" thing LEGO is doing lately (and the general controversy about the oil industry and damage to the planet from fossil fuels) I can't see LEGO doing an oil rig or the like as a set (Octan or otherwise) Yes they make petrol stations but these days those stations include EV chargers and other green things and in general petrol stations are a lot less controversial than actual oil extraction.

There are only 2 different regions. North America (US and Canada) that have Bestseller parts ship from a warehouse in Illinois and rest-of-world that have Bestseller parts ship from a warehouse in Poland. The parts available from each bestseller warehouse are different and (for some reason known only to LEGO) right now there are parts in the Standard warehouse in Denmark that are only being sold to North America and not rest-of-world (and some only being sold to rest-of-world and not North America). All countries in each group should have an identical set of parts for sale. -

FYI a LEGO employee on a Discord group (someone responsible for working on the pick-a-brick front-end and who is in said Discord I suspect mostly to get feedback and bug reports about the PaB front end) said this about the Castle parts that are currently only available in the US "There is a reason, but I can't say what it is unfortunately. They'll be back soon" so that should mean they will be available for the rest of the world at some point soon. -
I can see why they used the crayon costume rather than the firework costume though, the crayon mold is more recent.

The crayon man has the above magenta rock signer torso.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
jonwil replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Disney 100 figures have leaked (promobricks being the original source of the leak) and the leaks indicate we are getting 18 figures this time around, not just 12. Will reserve judgement until I see pictures but some of them do sound cool. -
My #1 animal wish is a kangaroo.
