    Did anybody get the final sale numbers for this series?

    Thank you @Cheeseyfeet and Oreo! Nope, I didn't post any real world Scotsman photos... and there won't be any real world comparison pics either, like I do with other trains of mine. I live in the Midwest USA, and I shudder to think of the cost of bringing my train on a plane to the UK just for a few photos! But don't worry about loosing marbles, we're all a little mad here! I'm glad somebody likes my style (Thank you for that!) - I've been aiming for a official LEGO like look for the past 15 years, which does mean a slightly chibi aesthetic and mostly 6 / 7 wide building. (I did try to do 8 wide once upon a time, but I didn't like it and it has almost all been scrapped, and the rest sold off.) As for 7777, I can only do that digitally.... I don't have the ability, funds, or talent for that level of real-world display commitment!

    Thank you @JopieK for your kind words! Now I just need to get the typical English railway station I designed to go with this finished in real bricks!

    You have to find a photo hosting site like Flickr (among others) and then link the photo into your picture. Google drive doesn't work as far as I know, and I don't know about Dropbox. There are tutorials on EB about this type of thing, but I don't know where or if they are up to date. Maybe @aFrInaTi0n or another mod can help you out with this...

    With the lining matching on the front and back, it now looks even more fantastic @PossumPatrol! Keep up the good work!
  6. Murdoch17
    This is correct - sorry for an confusion I may have caused!

    Not totally, apparently the BBC is shopping around for a company to make a preschool spinoff of Doctor Who for the CBeebies channel. If that becomes the way we get LEGO sets (probably Duplo at that point), I'm gonna start drinking.

    @Renny The Spaceman just saw your post, apologies for not seeing it sooner. That is amazing, and thank you for showing it. It's bitter sweet seeing it today as the BBC has just announced the cancelation of Doctor Who. To use the quote by the Seventh Doctor from the end of the original run in 1989: "There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace – we've got work to do!"

    Nobody knows these days. Could be right away (like it used to be), could be months or more. Depends on a ton of factors we don't know about.

    This guy over on Flickr did a great job of recreating the Toa Mata... just thought I'd share his fantastic work, because maybe (hopefully) LEGO would do something similar?

    I know almost nothing about Pokemon (everything I do know if from friends and family). But that pink ball (Jigglypuff, i think?) has the thousand-yard stare going on... he must've seen some things best left unseen. (Maybe he found out who Ash's dad really is and it scarred him for life! )

    LEGO doesn't usually announce an end to a theme. I can only think of one example where they did and that was Vidiyo.

    @michaelgale your website ordering is broken apparently - nobody can place an order due to an error with entering the postal code. See the comments above mine for details.
  14. Murdoch17
    Nope, Dreamzzz is canceled. Everything that is coming out is already released. No more episodes of the TV show are being made or released.

    Finally got a response from OKBW via a reply by me to his public Facebook post. He says he's responded to my messages and that I haven't replied to him, which is totally false. He's also saying the parts will be shipped late June / early July when they are restocked. This then begs the question: why sell something you don't have available and won't have for about three months (April to July) without notifying the person buying said part about the delay BEFORE they place the order? Like, a simple warning on the BBB site's landing page would have sufficed!

    I know it went to OKBrickworks, as I saw them as the recipient of my money on the Paypal invoice... but thank you for the advice @aFrInaTi0n!
  17. Murdoch17
    I don't know what to say to this, besides the fact that if the store isn't open for business, they certainly shouldn't take people's money for products they don't have yet. It's a bit like going to a gas station, going inside to pay for a tank of gas, and all the gas pump gives you a IOU saying "Sorry, we're out of gas. Come back another time for your fuel!" Then, when you ask the clerk when another tanker truck is coming, he ignores your inquiries, but keeps taking other people's money for gas he doesn't have. If the store wasn't ready, he should have gotten a landing page put up on the site saying it was reopening soon (Instead of taking in money for products he couldn't get out in a timely manner!) or at least explain they were opening for preorders and when then would be shipping them out at the earliest.

    Ok, so he read my May 11th Facebook message on May 13th, and did nothing about it - no response, no package, no nothing. I posted another message last Thursday (May 21st) requesting info and he's not read it or responded to anything I've sent over or info requests I've made. If he doesn't reply by end of day Tomorrow - the 27th of May - I'm going to Paypal to get my money back as I told him I would in my last message. I will also leave a negative review on Google and probably on the BBB site itself (if I'm able - I have no faith in him or whether he will keep anything but positive reviews up). This is, quite frankly, ridiculous and I'm infuriated he's doing this...

    Tan baseplates haven't been on shelves for eight years (2018). Blue has been around since 2022 (or 2015 if you count the old packaging) so LEGO probably is thinking it's time for a change after 11 years.
  20. Murdoch17
    Thanks @Shiva!
  21. Murdoch17
    The sometimes swap colors being produced. Perhaps blue is being replace with another color, like what happened with green being replaced by bright green, or tan with blue.

    Just one is left from the Santa Fe. (It survives in runnable condition at the California State RR museum.) Any others you see are repaints from other railroads.
  23. Murdoch17
    I thought most (99.9%) Santa Fe F-units were turned into the ugly home-built CF7 series by the '80s? If that's the case, I wonder who is gonna make the first CF7 -inspired MOD of this set?
  24. Murdoch17
    Wow, now I'm really worried! I'll keep you all informed on what happens next... I just messaged him via Facebook (my third message across three methods of communication) as well just to be careful. I am really, REALLY hoping he responds with a timeframe and / or shipping info soon, because if I don't hear from him in some fashion by a month after the order date, I'm gonna try and get my money back.
  25. Murdoch17
    Ok, so I messaged OKBrickworks a week ago today, and again last Friday - once through email, and the latter through the contact form on the BBB site. It's been two weeks since I ordered, and I've got no response, no communication from them at all. Any guesses / ideas / thoughts as to what's going on? I'm really not trying to be impatient, but I really need those XS wheels sooner rather than later (any other size won't work)...
