I think we should be in luck as they're monthly and they have quite a few months to fill before the next wave releases, what would that be late winter/early spring 2023? So even if not dragon Zane, ( but it would be cool to get all dragon ninja this way as I don't plan on picking up any of the ninja vehicles ) we should get some of the exclusive figures this way.

In Lego product news, it seems the next magazine gift after dragon Kai will be the Lloyd from the Crystal King set but with the headband hair and a half mask rather than the hood from the set version.

In that case, how about Ventress's fan blade ship from either The Clone Wars or Clone wars. Or fortress inquisitorius set based on both Kenobi and JFO.

Well I went ahead and ordered it for in-store collection and then without explanation, and without me realising till I was already at the pick up in my chosen Sainsbury's they cancelled the order and refunded it. But on Thier website it was still listed as £60 so I don't know why they cancelled it, if they couldn't get it to the shop on time I wouldn't have minded at delay, the Sainsbury's is right by my bus stop so I go past it every time that I am on shift. But having had a bad taste in my mouth I popped into the Lego shop on my way home and maybe I bought it £70 which was probably unwise but there you go, at least it was double VIP which is better than nothing. I'll have to check out some other online retailers, when I'm looking for the mech and the king then, I like the look of the golden ultra dragon too but for that price I think I'd rather get a Monkie Kid city of Lantern, I did have and idea to mod it to be a connection point between Ninjago city Gardens and the bookshop modular. I cannot forsake Argos forever though because I'll be sure to get some Argos gift cards for Christmas and my birthdsy ( they are close together so if I get spending money or gift cards for my birthday I won't use them till post Christmas) as I have for the last 12 years.

Had a look at the argos website, and it said early access on a ninjago crystalised banner so perhaps the exclusivity is not for long. I noticed that the crystal king temple was £60, and the RRP is £70 and said to be going up so I ordered myself a copy , and I said I wouldn't buy anymore Lego till the big castle.... Oh well. After hearing the delivery woes, I'm just gonna pick it up from Sainsbury's. True but core's villians were just more snakes with the same part for a head as the wave before and none of Thier side builds were anything special, not even noticeably snake themed. But legacy had the overlord dragon, Chen's dojo, and the giant stone warrior sidebuild. But more would be better, city of stix and misfortunes keep would be nice remakes, maybe the next 'destiny's bounty' could be the villian version with Sato, no eyes ( maybe with a shoulder part that a parrot can sit on) Garmadon and some serpentine.

Well my first thought when I realised was panic, thinking they must have omitted a different bag but then I finished the model with no hiccups. I'm very pleased, especially as I'm in the process of moccing a rocky hill for a fantasy town, so these are perfect parts for that.

You are thinking with your brain, I am thinking with my heart ( well not really but it's a metaphor), it seems like a logical conclusion for legacy to have been replaced by core/evo, but I would much rather it weren't. For several reasons. 1- I prefer villain sets, and location sets, in fact of all the Ninjago sets I own only 1/64 is an individual ninja vehicle ( though that number goes up to 7/64 if we include sets with a ninja vehicle and a villain build, polybags and the bounty), and so Cores focus is the least interesting part of the theme. 2- chance to get ones I missed, from the stone warrior wave Cole's Earth Driller was one I really wanted but I was 13 back then and didn't have the money to get everything I wanted so to get an updated better version is nice. 3- a more interesting minifigure selection, useful parts for both show characters that have not been made and variety of villians. Also more interesting and useful for 'custom' figures. 4- it would a shame if they made legacy S5/S6 Zane but none of the other ninja, not that that would be a surprise, they often leave groups incomplete 5- Ninjago city Gardens is legacy and another one in to than series would be awesome, they could even sneak in some show figure ( chicken suit guy wings for fugidove? Legacy Ultra-Voilet? News boy nelson and Antonia? Though any of those things could happen without legacy. Well no 2023 news I guess... But a legacy march of the Oni set would cool as well, I love the oni mask part and am glad to see it back for crystallized. At least it's only online then, though my Amazon sale hopes might be dashed, though I shouldn't be supporting Jeff anyway he's no good. A shame Argos is giving you such grief, I've had dealings with them alot before and things have tended to go shipshape and Bristol fashion, though I've never had a delivery from them, if I've ordered online it's been to pick up from a local Sainsbury's.

I've had plenty of spare parts, but yesterday I had a spare bag. I though I might be missing a bag but no all accounted for but an extra of bag 4, from set The-Legendary-Flower-Fruit-Mountain.

Exactly my thoughts. Any more info on the mysterious tan set?

I would have traded the leg printing on the Knights for horse helmets. At the moment my black falcons only use the printed legs on the 'Elite' units and the rest have plain black legs.

A needle pulling thread. It's not a perfect set and I would like the helmets to with the barding. The old style of horse has a different style of head so the helmets are not cross compatible unlike the barding So nothing, it's just an observation, not one that puts me off the set but an observation nonetheless.

The horses look odd without helmets. Barding but no helmets?

I'd hope that they're saving the crab droid for a 'remake' of this set.

All is well. got 2 more parcels today, one was a lone forest hideout and the other was my other online order, with another forest hideout... and maybe I have a third one that I got from an instore purchase... but I've used up all my lego budget for may, june and July across 2 days... it was worth it though. I've built one of the hideouts already but with the other 2 I think will see what I can make with just the parts from the 2 copies of the same set.

It's an okay series but nothing great, the false rumour of it being a 90th anniversary series lead to greater expectations.

That’s a relief to hear as I just got one of my orders but no hideout to be seen.

Oh nice, the Star Wars magazine does seem to be including figs more often which is nice. I don’t want to pay that price for a mircoscale ship but for a fig I want, it’s not bad.

I think the sword suits Mei better, but there are a lot of Lego sword wielding mechs about at the moment so the arm blades are more unique and fun. But overall I still think sword is the word.

I've often heard it doesn't but it's always worked for me, so long as it's not the only thing I'm buying.

Well arguably I don't need any Lego sets but the things I got were on my wishlist, not random extras. I also got some pick a brick.

I also did, but I risked it and ordered anyway and it appeared in my email confirmation just likew it did for @BrickMatit. try at your own risk. (I did it twice actually, 2 separate orders so 2 forest hideouts, I ordered Ninjago city gardens, and the Monkie Kid Fruit flower mountain) But look back through the thread forother peoples stratgies, trie cleaing cookies or using a new browser, or order without it appearing in your cart and hope it's in the confirmation email. (but again don't blame me if the risk doesn't pay off, it should do though, but they may be running out of stock)

From the email they sent me, the risk payed off.

I pray that you are right! I'll do it.

Where are you seeing this?

Ah, thank you. To be honest I had pretty low expectations for the show going in, but I'm pleasantly surprised that they have definitely been surpassed.
