Balrog vs Gandalf Bridge set, YES PLEASE!! 🙏

Maybe, just maybe, LEGO goes old school and gives us a true classic castle design… I predict no prints on figures and no printed shields. That’s right, plain torsos and plain shields with, wait for it, a huge sticker sheet that lets you pick your faction! A true homage to the classic yellow castle. A special thanks to my man Janitor Bob who leaked this wonderful news. Thoughts?

Optimus is lonely and needs some G1 company… Autobots: Jazz, Grimlock, Jetfire, Hound, Ratchet Decepticons: Soundwave (must also include cassette tapes Ravage and Laserbeak), Megatron, Devastator, Starscream (although I also like Skywarp), and finally a triple changer either Astrotrain or Blitzwing. ANY of the above would be a wonderful addition to the LEGO Transformers line. Keep them coming… G1 only please!

Much appreciated, I will pass that information along. Maybe, just maybe, Falconfan1414 is playing with us. Then again it could be a very fun wave, if true.

I can believe it, but shared this with my son and he is very skeptical. Who may I ask is the source so he can look it up? Thank you.

Seriously folks… Alright, did we time travel to April 1st? This strange talk of this phantom wave is not making any sense. Is this just a “what-if?” or wild speculation?

I think the original sets were very well designed compared to other sets of that time. The Rivendell set however is a thing of beauty. Looking forward to pictures of the next LOTR set. I have high hopes more sets will come out. Even would be very happy if they just remade the original LOTR sets like they did with IJ.

Both the weight and code reader have proven to be successful for me. I came across a box that had both large and small QR codes. Still on the hunt for the detective. Bat-lord looks so much more awesome in person. One of my favorite CMFs of all time. Nicely done!

Hope these hit store shelves early. 🤞 Very disappointing to see the Marvel series in stores, with many a box tampered with. Ended up getting the 2 figures my daughter wanted from a re-sale site. Also, what is this scale that is being used to weigh the boxes? An employee from the one LEGO store in my state said that was an option many customers tried, with limited success. Worth a try, I guess. (Brand/type suggestions?) Thanks.

Yep, that was me. (Ooof) 🤦‍♂️ Thankfully a kind support person was able to add the jaw (love the LEGO support people!)

For anyone looking… Some animals are now back in stock. Got a baby seal and baby polar bear. Wanted to wait, to see if more might show up. But was burned earlier in the day with other items quickly going out of stock. Now the 5-8 week wait begins.

Had them in my cart, adding additional pieces and POOF they were gone. Was getting my total up to the free shipping threshold. Got there (didn’t take that long) and then they just disappeared. Guess I’ll wait until they are in less demand like the castle torsos?

Can’t see much with the images not loaded. Could anyone pass along a number for this one? Please and thank you.

Additional sets for LOTR would be spectacular, in whatever form they happen to come in (with one possible exception being mini-doll/friends-style 🤢) Any more news to the rumor of a Barad-Dur D2C set in 2024? Saw the Rivendale set on display, but have yet to pull the trigger. What are the chances that this set would see a discount soon Nov/Dec or early next year (in US)? Still saving up.

Still waiting for Fantastic Four to make it to Lego form. What has been the “Thing” with Lego neglecting these four? And I would argue are more popular and recognizable than many characters in this bunch. 🤷‍♂️

Placed an order on April 28 and still hasn’t shipped. Marked as in warehouse on B&P. May call support later this week if no change.

Regardless if we get any more (and I wish that would make more) these sets are selling well. Sold out on Lego.com in less than a day and out of stock at BaN. This theme does have a wider appeal than most of you think. I’m thankful for what we got and if Lego decides to make additional sets in the future, they would again be a big hit. Who knows, Lego could surprise us. Until then, enjoy what we have been given.

Took a road trip with my son to the nearest Lego store this morning (90 minutes away) Unfortunately, even though we got there 10 minutes after opening, they had sold out of all IJ sets. Stopped at other stores, Target Kohls and Walmart. Found other sets that released today, got the UP House at Kohls for my daughter, but still no IJ. Ended up purchasing the idol set on Amazon. Said delivery tomorrow, but I’d be surprised if I see it before Monday. May run up to Barnes and Noble tomorrow and see if they have any of the smaller IJ sets left.

Hoping IJ eventually shows up at Target or other retailers (in store) here in the US. Currently 170 Target online. Grrr 😡

I think Lego made a mistake… Instead of Yoda, they gave us a teenage Grogu.

Where are these “phantom” sales for new sets? Not in the US probably. Wouldn’t mind 20% off the IJ idol set to be sure. Anyone with the inside scoop, please pass it along. Many thanks.

Looking for the depth dimension of the main building section. The total depth is estimated at 20in (50cm). This overall depth is the problem. I would love to flatten the build as much as possible to fit in a certain space. May need to rebuild the bridge and gazebo sections (how they are attached) to be able to push them back a bit. Any ideas for rebuilding or just an estimate to the depth of the main building section would be greatly appreciated.

Overall really like the presentation of this set. Huge LOTR fan. Not sure how soon of a purchase it will be for me. Saving up will be the first issue ($500 is a monster purchase for me) Next finding a place to properly display it (ideas anyone?) Also waiting for double VIP points and/or a nice gift with purchase to soften the blow of dropping so much coin. In a perfect world, these will be able to happen sooner rather than later. Mid-summer maybe? Here’s hoping!

Got a PAB order today I placed on Nov 14. It was missing parts. I looked on PAB and they are no longer listed on the site (even when the out-of-stock toggle is selected) I attempted calling customer support (US) but apparently they closed up 3 hours early. Wondering if anyone else is having issues calling in. . I purchased other parts to go along with the missing ones, after waiting over 2 months I’m kind of bummed about that. Not sure what they can/will do for me, if anything. Should I request they send me different parts? Guess I’ll find out, if I can get ahold of a live person when I attempt to call again tomorrow.
