    I placed an order on the 28th of October and it still hasn't shipped although when I contacted CS about it, they gave me some bonus points to make up for the long delay. I just hope it ships soon and that no parts get canceled.

    Lucky people getting their orders so fast. I placed an order for shipment to Australia on the 28th of October and it hasn't even shipped yet.

    The official word from LEGO is that the minifig parts from the gumball machine will be available on PaB in the future (January has been mentioned)

    We are getting something very much like this in the Bricklink Designer Program https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/2667/Sushi-restaurant-(寿司屋)

    A record store would be very interesting.

    Finally acquired one of my "white whales" thanks to my favorite second-hand LEGO store. Now I finally have the M:Tron torso from the LEGO Ninjago Movie shark mech and for a price that was far lower than the going rate on Bricklink for the torso or the fig it comes in. Was browsing their wall of pre-made minifigs in case they had anything interesting and I spotted a fig with this torso, the head from the Series 10 Roman guy (although I didn't recognize that head at the time) and some random generic hair and legs and grabbed it immediately. And to think that circumstances beyond my control caused a thing that would have happened not to happen which gave me an excuse to visit said store and spend the morning browsing the place which led to finding this part (among many other cool finds from the store that day)

    Did the printed clock or that tile with the envelopes and keys from the Tudor Corner modular ever appear on PaB?

    IMO Lego needs to get a little stricter on what content is allowed on Ideas, there are a few IPs that keep showing up where IMO the content isn't appropriate for LEGO. The Hunger Games for one, also Supernatural (it got an MA15+ rating here in Australia which should be enough to disqualify it IMO). Also The Rookie (again MA15+ in Australia) and Vampire Diaries (more MA15+). Maybe also Schitts Creek (although I don't know how bad the content in that one is)

    It's possible the up-scaled space guy is going to be similar to this https://brickset.com/sets/40819-1/Up-Scaled-Racing-Driver-Minifigure

    As nice as it would be, there are some themes that we will never see from LEGO. Unless by some miracle LEGO and Nickelodeon get over their differences, we will likely never see anything from Nickelodeon (e.g. Avatar, Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob etc) Because of how Studio Ghibli handles merchandise for their movies we will 100% never see anything from those movies in LEGO form. We will never see anything from Spaceballs because of a deal done with George Lucas that allowed the film to be made/released in return for a guarantee that there will never be Spaceballs merchandise of any kind. And we will never see anything from brands owned by Mattel such as Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, He-Man, Thomas the Tank Engine and others.

    Saw Soundwave in the local LEGO store earlier today, if it becomes available at a decent discount I will go for it but I am not paying RRP.

    I am loving the 3-in-1 telephone, the big brick phone reminds me a lot of the old Motorola Dynatac phone (the first commercially available cellphone) Will definitely be picking that one up for the collection at some point. And probably the 3-in-1 rhino as well (I like the hippo specifically although the others are also good)

    New parts (from April releases) are expected to land on PaB on the 4th of August: https://www.bricksafe.com/files/TobyMac/ne/eid/PaB_rb_color_new_2025-08.html https://www.bricksafe.com/files/TobyMac/ne/eid/PaB_rb_cat_new_2025-08.html So that's non-licensed parts from the Shire, the paddle steamer, Beauty and the Beast castle, Hulk monster truck, Iron Man Hall of Armor, yellow suitcase and (for some reason) the buildable Star Wars logo (even though that is a May release) If you want the buildable Star Wars logo without paying the Star Wars tax and you already have a lot of the pieces I can confirm that every part from the set should be up for sale on PaB I believe (after this batch lands) so you could buy the parts without buying the set (it has nothing in it that's licensed or special)

    Domestic animals are fine in settings like farms etc so a livestock truck would probably be OK as well. (especially given that Friends regularly makes things like horse transports) It's the depiction of wild animals outside of their natural habitats that's a violation of the BDP rules (and remember, we don't know if those are a reflection of what LEGO themselves would do, just what they allow in BDP)

    My most wanted TV/movie cars that haven't been done in LEGO form: (or rather the ones LEGO might actually do, there is no way they would do the Smokey and the Bandit Trans-Am or the Mad Max XB Falcon for example) Dodge Monaco Bluesmobile from The Blues Brothers Lamborghini Countach LP400S from Cannonball Run (other vehicles from that movie like the Transcon Medivac would also be great) Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved me (second only to the DB5 when it comes to famous Bond cars I suspect) Pontiac Firebird KITT from Knight Rider Chevrolet Lumina NASCAR from Days of Thunder Honorable mention to the Cadillac Miller Meteor ambulance from Ghostbusters, although we have had it as a set before a Speed Champions version would be very cool.

    I would like to see the new airplane parts (like that stair door) from the Air Ambulance set used in a private jet. We haven't had one of those in City since 2016 and a new one would probably look good with the new stair door and things.

    I doubt LEGO would do a Hunger Games set, the content doesn't seem appropriate.
  18. jonwil
    I think the set with the sun/moon/earth is great and would love to see more sets along those lines.

    The koala head piece could be for something other than a CMF...
  20. jonwil
    Yeah and I have both but I want more.
  21. jonwil
    I don't care what set LEGO puts it in or how much it costs, if LEGO put a system-type kangaroo (or other clearly Australian animals) in any set (i.e. not Duplo or Friends style animals) I would buy that set no question (well maybe if it costs a thousand dollars I might not be able to rush out and buy it...)

    Does the map from the off-road truck fit into the pattern anywhere or is it its own thing?
  23. jonwil
    I am interested in the Lambo 2-pack but nothing else from the new wave. If the Hellcat had been in bright green, I might have been interested.
  24. jonwil
    From looking at the pictures, I am fairly sure its the motorcycle helmet in light bley, not the space helmet.

    Found the new BAM (including the doctor torso, reddish orange brick costume, magenta chilli costume, bumblebee torso and that cockatoo type bird) at the Chermside Lego store. Anyone in Australia looking for it, hit up.your local store.
