I am hoping one of them is a single-car Lamborghini set that would have the same price/size/etc as the Audi, Nissan and Ferrari.

I can confirm that most of those new parts (including the flower headgear/torso/teddy, bunny torso and fairy headgear/torso/wings were available at the Dreamworld LEGO store here in Australia as of yesterday. Didn't see any bunny headgear though.

Managed to pick up the Captain Marvel/Nick Fury polybag from the Dreamworld LEGO store (here in Queensland, Australia) for AU$5 (no purchase required, just sitting on the shelf). Great little polybag and I needed both Captain Marvel and Nick for my Marvel collection :)

My god that's a big haul. My latest order is tiny by comparison (limited mostly by funds and what I actually need/have a use for)

How popular is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang these days? And would a set that large actually be a viable product?

CMF-exclusive parts are never available on B&P (although if they later appear in a regular set they may become available)

The logo was also used for bus transit in the City Corner from 2009 as well as the Town Square in 2013. So all 3 City sets that feature regular transit buses are using the logo. Yes I would like to see more buses but the bus from 2017 is a pretty decent design (especially since its the first bus in LEGO history that can be used by people with a disability)

LEGO already has the <-o-> logo for transport sets (trains particularly)

Any part numbers on torsos or heads will be the mold number and will not have any reflection on the actual IDs for the printed parts. Also the order I have been waiting on just shipped and there appears to have been no adjustment to the price which is good.

I do hope they use this as an excuse to make some new marine animals for LEGO in the same way as the last Arctic line gave us the Mammoth, Saber-Tooth Tiger etc.

How long do orders generally take to go from "in warehouse" to "shipped" these days? My order was placed on the 22nd of January and is still sitting at "in warehouse". Are they just busy because everyone is ordering all the cool new parts?

Found the Lambo polybag at my local LEGO store (Dreamworld Australia) sitting on the shelf openly for sale with no conditions alongside a bunch of other polybags. Picked it up for $5 which I think was a great deal. Great little model too IMO.

I thought the Octan petrol station I made a few years ago (complete with custom printed sign board featuring actual petrol prices from a real petrol station I found in my area) was good but those are AMAZING. Definitely some of the best LEGO petrol stations I have ever seen.

I voted for the Nebulon-B, its the only shop of the 3 that has never been done before.

I already have the BrickArms Combat Knife which I was planning to use (its close enough to the Crocodile Dundee knife to work I recon). That torso could definitely work for the scene in question (and I actually have one in my collection since I bought the harvester truck set) For the headgear, I was thinking either the Fedora (as seen on Indiana Jones) in black or the larger cowboy style (as seen on The Lone Ranger) in black, probably the fedora (since its closer to the hat in the movie) The Hunter guy from Spider-man is too expensive for my tastes (and isn't even right for that particular scene where Mick is wearing a jacket and not the more-open vest you see elsewhere in the movie). And in what universe does the hat from Woody look anything like the hat from Crocodile Dundee (its not even the right color, the Crocodile Dundee hat in that scene is clearly black)

The whole "Masters of the Universe" line (including He-Man and She-Ra) was created by (and last I checked is still owned by) Mattel. So LEGO sets for that are out of the question.

Can anyone suggest what parts might work for a Crocodile Dundee minifig? Specifically from the famous "that's not a knife" scene. Torso in particular I am stuck on (want one without any exposed flesh color)

I am building a contribution to a shared train layout and we are using the NILTC standards https://niltc.org/standards/track-specifications The standard we follow has ballast starting 2 studs in from the edge then the track 2 studs later then 8 studs of track then 2 studs more ballast (so the ballast is 12 studs wide) and we have 2 layers of plate on top of the baseplate then the track on top of that. Anyone got any instructions (or LDD files or clear easy-to-follow photos) on how to ballast a standard 90° curve? (4 standard LEGO curve tracks)

Finally placed my B&P order. Some nice bits in there including all the parts I need to complete my Steamboat Willie (although I suspect my "build Steamboat Willie using parts from my collection, parts from B&P, parts from Bricklink and parts from local second hand sales" idea probably cost me more than I expected although probably not as much as just buying the set outright). I checked my order carefully and the part numbers, prices and quantities match between my own list of what I was ordering, the list you get on the confirmation screen when you exit B&P and the list you get on the order summary screen so in my case I haven't been hit with price increases between B&P and the final order. Now begins the long wait for the order to actually show up (hopefully it gets here soon so I can actually do the work on my zoo in time for the first show in mid-march) Although I do have things I can work on in the mean time (like getting the train track ballasted and planning out what's going where)

Looks really good and the price isn't obscene like some sets I can think of (that boat comes to mind). I am definitely interested (funds permitting)

I love people packs and have also bought all of them (including the space one) because they tend to be a great source of figs, accessories and neat parts and will continue to do so no matter what they bring out in terms of City people packs, even something like a Police people pack would be interesting to me.

Its possible the person taking the photo is using a concealed mini camera (one that is really tiny and takes crappy photos). Or they are intentionally making it low-quality to make it harder to track down exactly where and how it was taken. As for the hair on Black Widow, it might be that Marvel (as the license holder) has specified that particular color for some reason rather than the more accurate red color. Or maybe LEGO didn't have the piece budget for the set to recolor the hair dark red. Same with the dark blue hood, its out-of-production (or seems to be) and maybe they didn't have the parts budget to bring it back in dark blue (whereas black is an active color for the part)

I hate Soccer and hate UK Soccer even more but if they ever did an Aussie stadium such as Suncorp or the MCG (in any scale or size) sign me up :)

Finally have a "wish list" of 183 parts I am potentially interested in (all of which B&P will sell me as of right now). Need to check Bricklink and make sure none are overpriced on B&P (i.e. where the higher price on B&P is such that it makes no sense to order it there instead of Bricklink) and then actually get my order placed. Some of the interesting parts on my wish list: (yes many of these have probably been mentioned already in this thread but its still interesting to note that things are available I didn't expect to see :) White banana Dark azure mountain bike frame Moby Brick book cover New chameleon from the Bookshop Unprinted bb8 body in white and black (black being used as "bombs" in a Batman/Joker set) Dark pink electric guitar 1 x 1 zebra crossing tile from the Tokyo skyline 1 x 2 piano keys tile 2 x 2 tile with music notes from the new Arial story book (the one where the notes play the first part of the Disney theme song "When you wish upon a star") 2 x 2 tile with diamond sign (from a police set I think) 2 x 4 tile with men at work hard hat sign The 1 x 3 x 3 windows from the Knight Bus (in both the purple and the new tan color) plus the trans-clear glass All 3 colors of Ninjago game controller sword hilt White hood piece Dark orange airtanks Red scarf New "air mail" postal worker torso Head and torso for the birthday clown from the new birthday set The new backwards facing baseball cap + hair piece The new style motorbike body in red The new owl in tan The 6 x 6 radar dish in the new "transparent light blue opal" color The trans-fluro-orange space visor The brown dog poop (I am building a zoo so I am going to need a bunch of these :) Teal/Coral parrot from the special 4-minifig "summer" pack from last year 1 x 2 window print brick from the San Fransisco skyline set That binoculars piece with the stud and anti-stud The 2 x 2 tile from Stranger Things with a hand-drawn guy in some water 2 x 2 round Octan sign 2 x 4 "Joe's Garage" sign 1 x 4 x 6 "Dr Jones" glass 1 x 2 x 2 glass with newspaper print in trans-brown and in tan Black handcuffs from the Disney Train Both hats from the Steamboat Willie set The bowl from the Chinese New Year dinner Skirt and both legs from the Steamboat Willie set Eleven and Will Byers torsos from Stranger Things Hair from the little girl in the Chinese New Year dinner Friends shopping trolley Pumpkin (the one seen in the newest Hagrids Hut set) Light Grey slingshot White basketball net White tea cup 2 x 2 tile in yellow with electric warning lightning bolt sign

LEGO has thus far rejected all the SpaceX projects that made it to 10k. Will be interesting to see what they do with the Cybertruck project (the first Tesla project to reach 10k AFAIK)
