    The TFA sets sold like hotcakes. If you remember, Star Wars was a very hot property back in late 2015. TFA was a very successful movie at the box office and with merchandise sales. The 2015 Millennium Falcon set won several toy awards and was one of the best-sellng toys of the holiday season. From Hans Burkhard Schlomer's designer bricklist: It turned out to be the most popular LEGO set in 2016 by far, of all product lines! It also won a TOY OF THE YEAR AWARD from the American Toy Association for "best boy toy 2016". I guess the unbelievably fantastic product placement in Episode 7 helped a bit, but one year before we had no idea how much (or little) screentime the "MILF" would receive in the first Disney Star Wars movie ....

    Classic Space Rover

    icm replied to danth's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Spaceship go sproing! I like it.

    I used to be disappointed that there aren't any explicit throwback minifig playscale sets in the 2024 Year of Space, but I got over that. The sheer breadth and variety of Space and Space-adjacent sets in 2024 is far more than I can afford to buy, and the Artemis SLS rocket and Apollo Lunar Rover are dream-come-true sets for me. I'm going to try to get the other Space sets as they go on sale later this year, but I've been eating so good with Space this year that I don't mind the lack of, say, Classic Space, Blacktron, Ice Planet, or Space Police as throwback sets.

    Shows you how much I know about Daredevil and the A-Team!

    I think it's a reference to the Marvel superhero Daredevil, whose secret identity is a lawyer named Matt Murdoch. I'm not very familiar with the character myself, but he lives in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York and has to stop all sorts of crazy things from happening in his neighborhood. It's nothing against you personally, I guarantee that.

    I suggest you ask the mods privately if you really want to know. Otherwise, we'll all be waiting to see your Turtle Cave. Sounds like a fun MOC idea.

    The dollhandz look pretty useful though.

    The mods removed the offending post, as they usually do.

    He got suspended for a post that was blatantly racist, sexist, and homophobic all at once. He must have insulted the moderators in private messages after being suspended. That could result in the suspension escalating to an outright ban.

    A new cockpit design is the one thing that could make the new Eta-2 interesting for me. Hope it's good! Still going to try to get it half price no figs though, $45 for an Eta-2 is insane.

    It's the hero ship from the Disney+ series Skeleton Crew, which will premiere on December 3.

    Fair enough.

    Fine. "Gender-opposite counterparts," not "gender-swapped." IMO, that's a distinction without a difference.

    Gender-swapping comic book roles is nothing new. It's not a WTF creative choice unless you're the type that thinks Superman being able to fly is also WTF. Meaning, it's just you, Turtle. Move on.

    Official images are out now, they announced it at SDCC. If Salacious Crumb looks like a Muppet, I'd say that's a pretty good minifig! Because he is. But you know that :)

    All Lego City police sets are like from Gotham City, from a certain point of view.

    It's a good recolor of a good set, but by fixing the tailplane on axles instead of pins you remove the functionality of a working elevator

    It's even crazier that we had Queen Amidala on the TPM logo in 1999 but she didn't show up until 2012 and hasn't returned since then.

    I wouldn't mind if they continued the 2023-24 trend of making stylish 8w cars for every prominent Marvel character. The Miles-Mobile and the Peter-Mobile are both fun, stylish builds that fit in well with the 8w Speed Champions collection. Their designs are a lot more restrained than Hot Wheels character cars, so they don't look too out-of-place on City streets either. Of course, the Miles-Mobile was heavily overpriced and the Peter-Mobile was even worse, but I was able to get them without minifigures for a pretty good price. I'm not into mechs generally, so the character mechs don't interest me, but a line of character cars would be alright.

    On the contrary, these are well funded research scientists who certainly have a base at a university or research institution in the city. These are not rough tough chads who live in the wilderness surviving by their brains and their brawn. These are more like National Geographic nature special filmmakers.

    I'd say within the reduced scale of Lego, five floors would be a pretty good Modular Buildings skyscraper. Probably cost about $500 though.

    To be fair, this year's superb excavator and mobile crane can be seen as remakes of the 2005 models, after a fashion.

    I think we can safely say that you won't go to the movie theater for Superman (2025).

    Looks like the Remora from The Bad Batch and the Night Buzzard from Somehow, Sheev had a baby. I'm happy to strike it off my wanted list. I wasn't sure which, if either, I would find more interesting of the Dark Falcon and the Onyx Cinder, but the Dark Falcon wins by a mile. Since I have the Somehow, Sheev Falcon I'll skip the Dark one. I'll save my money for the ISD, which I actually really like.

    Looks like a very modern build to me. It doesn't look like a 2000s-era Delta 7 to me at all.
