    Ah okay hadn’t realised. Makes sense though.

    I guess you’re right. Apologies - I just took it the wrong way when I read it. Maybe it’s because I was half asleep when I did…

    The office is going to make those who have had theirs rejected absolutely livid. Also, I’d appreciate not being called a rich snob because I’m buying a jazz quartet set. I enjoy music, and my brother plays the trombone to a high level and used to play in a jazz quintet, so it’s appealing to me. I reckon under the ‘rich snob’ idea you’ll be insulting a lot of people, both on here and in the wider world.

    One of the good things about this is the variety of parts. I remember from building the Taj Mahal that there weren’t many different parts…

    Art Project - Create Together 21226 now has official pictures on JJP’s site, and is set to release November 1st. It has 4138 pieces, and is the usual cost, with 9 panels. The frame is white like the World Map. I don’t understand the number at all if I’m honest - anybody got any ideas? It’s closest to the architecture numbers as mentioned above.

    No it’s from a video from YouTube made by some random guy wishing for this to happen. @Polarlicht shows it here. I wish it was though!

    An iceberg GWP would be hypocritical, horrific, and terrifying for me that Lego would even consider such a thing. The joke GWP also has another major flaw which I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned - the Titanic was used on the transatlantic route in the NORTH Atlantic whilst penguins are found in Antarctica in the SOUTH. More likely if in memory of the disaster would be one of the various monuments located on either side of the Atlantic.

    As there’s now a leak, pretty imminently. These days they try to contain the leaks as much as they possibly can, more than before, and consequently the press release tends to be a few days after the leaks. I can’t guarantee it though. The set releases 20th October for VIPs so should be announced very soon anyway. I’m guessing that this is a LAN product so we should see some professional reviews soon as well.

    Wow. I’m truly blown away by this beautiful build. I’ll definitely be picking it up - a must buy in my book. I wasn’t expecting it to look that good and it’s definitely better than its competitor. If you’re talking about BriqFoundation, Mark is an incredibly reliable source, and I trust him completely. This is real.

    Yeah I agree. The trains subtheme in itself shouldn’t be a thing. Stations and passenger trains should be part of a public transport subtheme (we could easily have enough to make with a couple more sets) whilst cargo trains would be in a cargo subtheme. Cranes and lorries would be part of this too. I feel like beyond the standard trains others could be parts of other subthemes as well. For a start, fire trains do exist, even if rare. A maintenance of way (MOW) train could be in the construction subtheme. A car transporter train could be for some great vehicles type thing. Circus trains have existed in the past. Hospital trains also have existed - particularly in wartime - a prime preserved example can be found at the National Railway Museum, York, UK (arguably the best railway museum globally, as trains were basically invented by the British). RPOs (Railway Post Offices) were big in the USA for years. Fuel train for Octan. Even prisoner transport trains exist. NASA had a train at one stage. It’s never going to happen, but a train could easily be added to every subtheme, and the trains theme abolished.

    I try to collect them where I can. I’ve got 3 cargo trains, the container terminal set with the four containers and a big lorry from a few years ago, the 2013 cargo terminal with the airport, the cargo truck from the same series, a small green crane from 2007 and the large 2007 harbour, the only set to use the largest ever hull produced (can take 8 standard 6x10 containers without stacking). The trains provide a good way to connect cargo with the passenger services as the passenger and cargo trains run on the same layout. However, it’s still the case we should get more. There’s a new cargo train next year following the four year pattern.

    I feel like this has happened in other fantasy themes already, though I can't think of any myself. As @MAB says, there are non purist ways to do it. I think moulds exist, purist or not, for mutated animals or things from other themes that look it, so it's easily possible to custom build something.

    Very nice! I particularly like the use of random minifigures rather than making ones specially - it adds a nice creative touch. I’ve been to Budapest and it’s a beautiful city. My aunt and uncle live there and speak the language fluently - my uncle is actually the founder and chair of the Wine Society of Budapest... Anyway, beautiful MOC and I’m sure something that many will recognise on passing the shop window!

    A typo plus autocorrect. It’s a convenience store.

    I’ll admit, Summer 2022 was an assumption when I posted this on here. The actual information was that it’s not a January release - I simply assumed as the vast majority are January or June and it wasn’t January, it would be June. It could easily be before that though.

    It’s currently not obvious at all - so far it’s only the very last thing on his story, so pretty hard to find. It should appear as an ig post and be added to the site in the next 24 hours. The sets are: 60348 Moon Rover - $29.99 60349 Lunar Space Station - $59.99 60350 Lunar Research Base - $99.99 Looks like they’re going even more futuristic than last time, with a lunar base - though I’m interested to get some structures built in space rather than on the ground on Earth - all we’ve had before has been the space station last time.

    Are you on the right palette? Make sure it says ‘Master’ above the bricks window on the left. There are three palettes, master, custom, and an additional parts one (I don’t really understand it). If you’re on the master palette you can find basically every single brick ever in basically every single colour ever. However, as @Murdoch17 said, this is the wrong sub forum. There’s one specifically for digital modelling tools: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/128-lego-digital-designer-and-other-digital-tools/

    The site is https://jedijacpenguin.com/everythingweknowaboutLEGO2022.html#LEGO_City However, he posts info on Instagram (jjpsleaksite) before adding them to the site - they aren’t on there right now (23:21 (GMT)). It’s on his Instagram story. He’s an incredibly reliable source - the only thing I’ve ever seen him get wrong was the 18+ Delorean which everyone believed would happen (then didn’t). I don’t know his sources, but they’re very good and very reliable.

    Just a few off the top of my head: Cargo, Octan, OctanE, City Pizza, public transport, Post Office, Toy Shop, plus the aforementioned Vita Rush. I don’t pay any attention there, but there may be some others in Friends which could be used for a bit of variety if you want.

    Apparently space is returning in Summer 2022. (Source: JediJacPenguin)

    According to JediJacPenguin, there will be a $49.99 orchid in January 2022. (Not fully confirmed, but he’s nearly always right). I’d be interested to see this as there are many different types of orchids, so the plant isn’t obvious from the name.

    Yes, as expected. We should get another fairground set next year though, as we’ve had 5 already. The ones I own are amazing.
  23. Vilhelm22
    Nobody knows it, but as it’s the very first expert set of the year, being released January 1st, and judging by previous years, unless we get a surprise extra set before the end of the year (as well as the RMS Titanic), it should be 10296 (the Porsche 911 was 10295, the highest number set released in 2021). I’d expect this set to have probably something like one single, one twin, and a master bedroom. Then a grand lobby on the ground floor. I’d also hope for either a very detailed, intricately shaped roof, or some sort of rooftop feature. A glass roofed room, a pool, a bar/restaurant, or something of that kind. I’ve been to hotels with all of these. Obviously it won’t happen but I’d love something like the Palace Hotel, San Francisco’s Garden Court restaurant. https://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-information/restaurant/details/sfolc-palace-hotel-a-luxury-collection-hotel-san-francisco/5959443/ I know from experience that it’s incredibly nice but also pretty expensive, though unsurprising really considering 6 US presidents have stayed there...

    Guessing you mean the Plaza? Brilliant hotel architecturally, so something similar would be awesome.
  25. Vilhelm22
    It’s expected to be a corner of course, and possibly 32x48. Personally I’d like a hotel quite similar in architecture to Grand Emporium to differentiate it from Cafe Corner. I think of CC as being quite a modest town hotel - I’d like a much grander city hotel. Perhaps a rooftop pool? If it’s a hotel I really hope it’s just a single purpose modular (let’s face it it really should be) - the first since PC in 2013. My dream would be one like the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, where I stayed for two nights the summer before Covid. Coincidentally, it was inside that very hotel in room 8064 on the night of 2nd August 1923 that President Warren G. Harding mysteriously died.
