I love the Workshops but a few things are taking away from it. As mentioned the minifig lineup leaves quite a bit to be desired. Two generic City torsos is pretty lame in this set. That chef is a joke & they could’ve at least Ninjago’d the construction worker like they did the cameraman in Markets. I appreciate the departure from the usual locales of the series so far but it doesn’t really work with the old world that the previous ones showed. Industrial & feudal Japan don’t exactly mesh well. The right side building looks great but the garage door takes away from that feel. I also love the Mech aspect of this set. It reminds me of the real life Gundam(which I sadly never got to see).

Built both of this year’s offerings. Both were very fun & par for the course for this theme. They’re still distinct enough to be their own build. Live the new toros on MK & Mei. Putting this out there too in case there’s others like me...I just learned all five seasons are on Peacock.

Couldn’t agree more! I sadly missed out on the Dronecopter. While I haven’t looked recently, all parts to that Mr. Tang weren’t available through B&P(and haven’t looked elsewhere for him either). I really hope this theme hasn’t reached its end. It’s given us such great mechs & locations. The minifigs have been fantastic & a fun lesson in Chinese folklore on the side.

When I was reorganizing my minifigs I noticed Hermione in the Hogsmeade & Express set has a reddish brown wand instead of her normal dark tan one. Found that interesting & decided to share. (Hopefully I’m not repeating someone else pointing it out, been away from here for a bit)

Oh man, I would love that. All these great characters & it’s hard keeping up! Who’s related to who....and how. And all these cool places we’ve gotten as sets. More content about this classic story, the better. If this is the end I hope we at least get a Bull Demon King bigfig. I know he has the set, but he feels like a pivotal missing piece in the lineup.

It would be a real shame if this theme ended. I absolutely love it & the sets are fantastic & the minifigs have been top notch. On top of that, I’m learning things about Chinese folklore through the theme(it would be cool if they had those info pages in the front of these like they do for some D2C’s). Having just built the Pagoda, which is amazing, I read a bit about Nuwa & Li Jing(thanks to Lyichir info as well), both very cool beings & makes me look at the pagoda in a whole new light!

One thing I’m a bit puzzled by is the change of roof color. I’m still planning on pairing it with Heavenly Realms & it would’ve felt more cohesive with the and green roof. I’m still very excited to get it.

Very cool, nice work! One thing I would change is giving Gadget & Monty molded heads. They look a bit strange next to Chip n Dale who are.

And I bet the baby does too! This is what they need to do when they’re asking $45 for Calendars. All those sweaters, new scooter color. Great bits, always happy to get more food parts.

Basically everything but the Hall itself. All the underground rooms look fun, all the different students, Friar, Troll, Prof Vector.

Man! LEGO sure knows what they’re doing. When I heard a Great Hall was coming, I told myself I’m not getting it. Now I see pictures of it....and I have to get it!

75364 New Republic E-Wing vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter

Been quite a year for SW purchases with me, especially last month. 75345 501st Clone Trooper BP 75359 332nd Ashoka’s Clone Tropper BP 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor and awaiting to be shipped 75362 Ashoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle I was trying to stick to Phase 1(and ARF) army building...but I found 75345 cheap & the 332’s are just cool...nothing wrong with a slight detour.

I just finished building all the contents of the calendar & I got a repeat day. I’ll spoiler tag it for those who like to be surprised by the doors.

Is that for the whole of the sale? I can’t just redeem the 3 then go back & do it again? Or I can just get normal priced $5 ones I suppose. I have the points to get a $100 & $20(without taking the $5 sale into it). I could get the 3 discount ones & three regular $5 & still come out ahead....I think? Haha...I don’t do the discount thing that often, if it’s not obvious enough.
