I legit managed to buy him for 10 bucks back in November, it was one of the few X-men figures that were missing from my Mutant mansion!

You guys been dealing with everything that’s happened to me since January 1st for me locally. I only found two beast masters out of the 400 scans I did, the best chance I ever had was at the lego store, my buddy kept putting out boxes and only found one in a boxes, fresh. Also, also, a scalper has been wiping them clean from all my Walmarts near me, because for one, new boxes would be placed on the shelves, and only a few pieces were moved, deducing it was the beastmaster. Walmart’s inventory system is better than targets at the moment, the Walmart app will legit let you know if series 27 minifigs are available in your store by letting you “picking” them up same day, that’s how it’s easy to know if a store has it, therefore narrowing down gas wasted on other stores. I went to all the stores that had them in stock and sure enough, all were gone through when I arrived. Collectors and army builders will wait until the hype dies down, scalpers want to get a piece of those insane reselling prices for them third party at the moment. If you guys search BrickLink you will find that other series 27 figures on sale will be like 30-100 something, Wolfpack beastmaster is sitting at 1,500 figures available, so yeah for sure he’s the most sought after. To be honest using apps to scan for figs is the most clean method in all my years of blind box searching, because when the marvel series 2 figures were released and the series 25, it was a blood bath, I would see how many blind boxes were returned glued or taped shut, or just completely left open in stores. Walmart on the other hand is starting to enforce store credit policy with returns, meaning you won’t get your cash back when you buy entire boxes of them but also Barnes and nobles was always a no hands on blind boxes policy, they always kept them behind the counters with theft protection boxes around them, even with the feel bags, it doesn’t surprise they wouldn’t allow you to scan them! It’s been frustrating Minifigs hunting, but that’s part of the process, imho, the only thing lego can do to combat scalping is increase the amount of beast masters per box, because it’s only been one or two at the moment.

Flying lesson did feel incomplete, even more so than the previous iteration of it. I have bought every single hogwarts castle set since 2018 and the one I love the most was the first one from 2018, the other modular set had the right idea but the castle proportions were all over and felt like a playset, this new wave feels extremely detailed but I dislike how they “include” their displays rather than leaving them empty, meaning when I buy the potion classroom now I have to find place for the ravenclaw room and vice versa.

So how does the ornery fit in the castle? The flying class had handles for connecting it to the great hall but will there be bigger sets for march, summer, fall?

Dude, I’m an army builder but not a big scale, I wanted like two or three beastmasters Wolfpack, but scalpers are literally raiding boxes to get them, I ran through at least new four boxes with zero Wolfpack Minifig. My Walmart got a brand new one setup and within minutes the only figures gone were the Wolfpacks that came in, everything else was untouched. I got lucky with friend at the LEGO store who put one out a minute before I got there but the box only had one. Oh well at least I got one 😬😬 but dude it doesn’t help people are selling these 20-30 bucks each and think they struck gold 😭

it’s always something, they forgot my alligator tail, I just got my best seller order from last week in, I finally completed my blue forestmen and Viking assortment though. I’m actually mad this order ran me 70 bucks and it was nothing but animal, head, weapons and a few torsos, imagine my shock when I saw the small bag they arrived in!

Placed a bestseller order around 11pm last night and got the shipping notice before waking up, meanwhile my standards order is still mia since end of October!

You guys you just reminded me that I’m missing two orders from late October also with no ETA 😭

Longest pick a brick order for me was 3-4months and it was around this time last year, they get swamped and take forever due to staffing shortages. All you can do is wait

Huh, did not know there was a pirate figure getting released at all. I was only tracking the Wolfpack beastmaster, but that’s how much I didn’t pay attention to this figure because it didn’t remind me of a pirate at all.

Oh well, at least I can look forward to the series 27 Wolfpack figure and cape hehe.

Managed to get the 9 I wanted, when assault on weathertop was released I scored all 9 and I feel that I need to update their torsos, I’m hoping they are the same! Thanks

Thank you, To be honest I bought the spring sets back in March and never built them at all including the ones released in august and since i'm catching up with my back log of lego builds, I didn't know if I got the ornery and to my surprise I actually bought it. i haven't opened them to see because I just got out of surgery, I was just curious if they were modular to the new ones or the previous wave. The only issue I see is the white bricks as snow and now I would need bricks to match it the ornery during summer haha. Thanks

So set 10352 is Krusty burger? Good thing I sold my last one, I will jump on this one for sure and collect them again if true. I'm just shocked because disney's has been making the license difficult for sure. They just cancelled my favorite simpsons game that I was playing since 2012, The Simpsons Tapped out and made me question what was Disney trying to do with the simpsons like if anything and the toy sections at retailers if filled with simpsons 3.5" figures.

The site is up! https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-endurance-10335 This ship reminds me of the Silent Mary, it came with minifigs but the scale was way off.

You Don’t Need it

The key wording and my take away from it was “Buy past sets from the LEGO archive” as a heads up that indeed they would be re-issue sets of their older catalog, I’m guessing unlicensed and made to order. With modern variations of course due to the bricks not being made or maybe they still have the molds and could re use them. I know that lego is against reselling lego sets, but they have done it in the past, especially with GWP’s like forestmen hideout, and lego ideas sets like the ship in a bottle. All existing toy makers are literally reissuing their older sets, from Playmates and the TMNT retro collection which aside from a few differences are using the same carded box from the 80’s, Hasbro finally fixed their Optimus prime trailer mold and has given us perfect reissues of Prime in this year, and of course other toy brands like McFarlane with older Kenner figures. LEGO seems to interested in doing this but they are trying to figure out a profitable way of doing so IMHO. I’m all for buying reissued sets of pirates, space and castle in a heartbeat if given the chance versus waiting for the next remake of an older set. If they have a museum of every single set they have, which could help them in reprinting older brick molds. I hope that makes sense for you on how I imagined they could do it, because to be honest hasbro has been knocking it out of the park with perfect or almost near identical reissues of their G1 transformers, but on the other hand we know LEGO is comfortable with licensed sets at the moment, but there’s always what ifs. Like it or not retailers are pushing their subscription services that LEGO is really one of the few who hasn’t leaned towards it.

Ehh the sentinel from the 2014 set wasn’t bad, i just regret selling that xjet compared to the one we got recently. Just got the xmansion and love the different scales now but i agree the locked knees makes it weird

Dumb question but is the castle ornery fit the old or new. Hogwarts castle layout?

More like warner bros hates Dc at this rate

It was 4.99 what they were asking but the premise was the mention of reprinted sets which piqcued my interest, rumor had it like recent sets and I had my eyes on the 2015 pirates or 2013 castle sets. I

I just wish TLG stuck to their guns with the subscription plan that let you buy classic sets as a perk. I was banking on getting more pirate sets that way.

Well the reveal will be this Friday, Lego just put up the Black Friday sets announcement

With leaks, stuff changes, I wouldn't worry about what final figures make it to the set or not, considering leakers have been wrong about recent sets either way, like Coryo mentions, a lot of wording gets lost in translation. Take the Endurance ship, we thought it would have been a full-sized ship, instead we get a mini scaled ship and no minifigures, all I'm saying is don't give your hopes up.

I was expecting a regular scaled minifig ship, not an actual mini ship. It is what it is though.
