Legochaek

It would be cool if someone who has enough posts to make a poll could make one asking people on EB which Bricklink Designer Program set they’re going to pre-order, if any.

I hope they’ll do a normal clothes, sitcom black and white Wanda and a Scarlet Witch because they’d be such different minifigs. (Also can we spoiler tag this week’s Falcon and Winter Soldier episode stuff if we’re going to talk about it)

By comparing current Lego ideas prices to the bricklink piece count, I’ve discovered that probably the lowest price of a set will be around £20 with most sets £100+. These are roundabout estimated figures, by the way. (Current, non-licensed, no power functions Ideas sets) Treehouse-179.99, 3036 Pirates of barracuda bay-179.99, 2545 Blacksmith-134.99, 2164 Apollo Saturn V-1969, £110 Ship in a bottle- 962, £69.99 Dinosaur fossils- 910, 54.99 ISS, 864, £64.99 WON-£19.99, 231 (Bricklink sets) Quest Builder 3347 pieces (£179+) Safe 546 pieces (£40+) Aquarium- 544 parts (£40+) Anatomini- 2522 pieces (£150+) Venetian houses-3672-(200+) Science adventures 201-(£<19.99) Space troopers 2622 (£179.99) Seasons in Time 1405 (£90+) Brickwest 2903 (£179+) Waterfall 2150 (£120+) Bowling alley 2458 (179.99+) Dive shop 2334 (£179.99+) Castle 1928 (£110+) Boat house diner 2484 (£179.99+) Exploratorium - 3173 (£179+) Construction site 4249 (£300+???)

Kakapo 1843 (£<110) Winter chalet 2628 (£179.99+) Bionicle- no piece count yet Pursuit of flight- no piece count yet Boat repair- no piece count yet Lego store- no piece count Temple of Hermit- no piece count Accelerator no piece count Observatory- no piece count

I’ve made a parliament building for a fictional country called Legottea, for the Lego House contest. Check it out here: https://ideas.lego.com/challenges/1f570af2-79dd-44f3-bba3-07978208f97b/application/054ec4da-d9ed-4f4f-972c-5982edf55758

As there’s still no leaks, we don’t think Architecture has been cancelled, do we? I love the skylines so I hope not

I decided to figure out the likelihood of my favourite sets getting through, so I ordered the bricklink designer program sets by amount of comments. Of course, smaller sets may garner less interest while larger ones may receive more comments and less purchases, due to the price. The castle is clearly far ahead but near the bottom of the 13 there’s stiff competition. rank.set-number of comments 1.Castle-183 2.Train station - 126 3.Seasons in time-115 4.Winter chalet- 93 5.Bionicle-88 6.Temple of Hermit-64 7.Fishing boat-61 8.Diner-57 9.Mountain windmill- 53 10.Exploratorium-48 11.Construction site-44 12.Dive shop-43 13.Ruined house-42 (14.Lego store-41) (15.Brickwest studios-39) (16.Anatomini-38) (16.Kakapo-38) (18.Quest builder-36) (19.Bowling alley-34) (20.Venetian houses-33) (20.Observatory-33) (20.Pursuit of flight-33) (23.Safe-30) (24.Boat repair-27) )25.Boat house diner-23) (26.Aquarium-21) (27.Waterfall-20) (28.Japenese old style architecture-18) (29.Particle accelerator-10) (30.Space troopers-7) (31.Science adventures- 5)

He much do we think Quest Builder (3547 parts) and Anatomini (2522) will be? £200 +?

Nope, it’s not enough to get each unique set. There are two exclusive tiles in each beatbox and 1 exclusive in each bandmate. The other 14 tiles in the beatbox and 2 in the bandmates are random. Currently I have all the Bandmates plus 3 beatboxes and I have 41/82 non-exclusive tiles, plus 20 duplicates. So unless the next three beatboxes I get have 14 non-duplicates, I’m not going to get a complete set of tiles without buying from Bricklink. (For reference, that’s a 50% duplicate rate ) It is possible, though, as a full set of bandmates and beatboxes would net you 108 non-exclusive beatbits, but it’s a chance so low it’s about as likely as aliens coming tomorrow.

Oh, right, thanks. Essentially it’s almost impossible to get all the beatbits, then. The beatboxes have 2 special and 14 random. So if you get all the figs and all the boxes, you’ll have 24 exclusive beatbits, plus 108 random beatbits. Non-exclusive are 68 different beatbits, so every time you want a particular beatbit it’s like picking up a couple of random CMF bags if CMF series had 68 figures (a 1.5% chance). And of course you have to pick up a random box of bandmates, which has an 8% chance of getting what you want.

Does anyone know if each bandmate gets a random set of 3 beatbits? Because if so, it’ll be basically impossible to collect all 92 beatbits.

Really awesome!

Wow, didn’t realise there were so many. Hope I’ll be able to go to stores and feel the packets soon- it’s annoying just ordering random ones/ paying more for an open pack.

How many series are there this year?

Thanks so much!

Cool! Maybe cover the top with flats instead?

Minifigures by R E, on Flickr Hope you guys like it! It’s 1. Futurama Leela 2. Futurama Bender 3. Retiarius gladiator 4. Guitar girl 5. Prom girl 6. Anime girl 7. Dandy 8. Jigsaw sweater girl 9. Pikachu!

I would’ve like the whole modular to be the doughnut shop- it’s so pretty. It is the best Lego police station I’ve seen, but no buy for me because I’m not really into police stations. However, I like the little play features like the jail and the board.

Curl cakes are awesome- are those Pom Poms to keep inside them and- wristbands? Reminds me of play-doh cupcake sets

I love the flowers, day 1 buy! The bonsai is ok. Other sites say £90 for Bonsai and 60 for the flowers- how do we know it’s £44.99? https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-botanical-collection-10280-flower-bouquet-revealed/ Also, this seems like it’s an offshoot of Lego Forma.

Is there going to be an original trilogy TIE fighter, or is it a sequel one?

I love the penguin! Still no Luigi? I wonder whether the idea is to attach the second starter set to the first?

Awesome, thank you!

Personally I’d love a light purple modular building. Does anyone know what brick height the floors of modulars generally are?
