Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Maple replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
So you are fine with the other person here doing that but when I do it it's passive aggressive? -

It's the VIP rewards area. They give you a code, you can get up to three, but only one per order like all physical rewards which is lame. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion

If you are a VIP you can get up to three of the blue key chains for free. I've been a VIP for at least 15 years. Opps. I thought I said it. The Honey app / extension. It's $40 cash back on Police Station, Hotel, Jazz Club. $20 back on Book Store I think one other modular. The other $5 was from my credit card. -

Bought the Jazz Club. Got four GWP, the current three and the blue minifigure keychain, plus got $45 cashback. -
Lego City 2023 Leaks, Rumours, Speculation And Discussion
Maple replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
Walmart.com has the Farm set for $45, that's the cheapest I have seen it online. Which is funny because it's now the same price, on sale, than it was at release for Europe. -
I guess I should just be happy LEGO didn't just make the Community Center a $160-$180 set just to make the Kitchen set seems more reasonably priced. haha Don't worry, LEGO seems to be going on sale more as the world economy collapses so we should get more sales. Brickset has a list of retiring sets this year. Kind of surprised at the 2023 ones that are retiring. Well the Grocery Store retiring isn't shocking at all. LEGO doesn't want our LEGO figures buying food. The list includes, donut shop, grocery store, camping trip, downtown flower and design, bubble tea, dog can rescue, cat hotel, salon, and skate park. Here's the list in case I missed any, plus the 2022 sets I thought already retired. https://brickset.com/sets/query-9753/page-2

It's a great set, I want it, just is super expensive to me when you can get three more floors for $73 more.

Really? I think it's one of the most overpriced Friends sets. It's a one story building for nearly $70. For twice as much you can get 4 stories with the Community center.

That's why I asked because it used to be September, but last year I thought it was October. If it's October we won't know for two more months or longer if no preorders. I'm hoping we get at least what it is in a leak even if no pictures.

I think 'town square / green' or would be nice. Have the square be where the tree is, all sets need a tree, and then have a town hall building as the main build. You can then add the building from Main Street to the sides of the square / green. Do we know the date of release? September or October?

Lego City 2023 Leaks, Rumours, Speculation And Discussion
Maple replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
All $10/$11USD City sets have prints. All 4+ sets have prints. Normally there is a print for a 2x2 tile / slope piece for the City exploring themes, like the Space Port, Arctic and Deep Sea, but I don't know if they are all prints. Then you have sets that are really weird and have random prints with stickers. Like the Custom Car Garage that has several prints for the spinning thing on the left side in the pictures, but not for the yellow signs or the pieces on the side of the cars, but the tops, those are prints. Really weird. The 35 Euro is still much cheaper than just 60377 because of LEGO's insulting, downright BS, pricing in the Americas. -

Cheap to me is 30% to 40% off. -

I've gotten the Marvel Modulars for like 40% off. That's not going to happen with VIP points. -

Maple replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Instead of looking for in person deals I use my time on eBay, however the sales have been VERY 'meh' recently. I'm not having any luck getting the Jazz Club for cheap. My mom once found a UCS TIE {I don't know which one} and a Duplo Train for $10 at a tag sale. It was valued at $300 and that was several years ago because I have no idea where it went. -

That's awesome and kind of funny. I moved out of New York state and like a month after I saw on Craigslist some mom selling their child's LEGO collection for $175. There was a lot in general, but also a Grand Emporium which alone went for how much everything was listed for. -
Lego City 2023 Leaks, Rumours, Speculation And Discussion
Maple replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
What are you talking about? LEGO knows that the sets will fly off the shelf, like a grocery store, so that's why they only made it available for 6 months? The article says that Europe shops want new sets in June and in the USA stores want them in August. What difference does the release date matter if they are going to 'fly off the shelf'? -
I agree, 41109 is a beautiful color. Really nicely done by LEGO. Sadly I never got it as I never found it on sale.I got 41429 for half off. I got 41732. A little more than I wanted to spend but still less than $100USD and about 40% off. Yay for eBay.

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces

The corn piece is LEGO being LEGO. They didn't even include it in the Friends Grocery Store. -
Lego City 2023 Leaks, Rumours, Speculation And Discussion
Maple replied to Powered by Bricks's topic in LEGO Town
Interesting article but that's not the truth / full story. For several years Europe would get the City sets in June and NinjaGo in August. The USA would get City sets in August but NinjaGo sets in June. The article doesn't explain that. -
It's not free LEGO. There are normally two winter GWP sets for the holidays, I wonder how LEGO decides which one to bring back in July.

I'm a huge fan of 41429, the last Friends plane. One of my favorite modern day LEGO planes. I did modify it to fit minifigures instead and it holds 13 chairs and a pilot. I feel like it just came out but by the set number it's 300 Friends sets ago and has been retired for a year and a half. In the USA the polybags are $5 which I feel is hugely overpriced. However that Friends polybag I'd spend $5 on. Nice figure, the otter, the sunscreen, the new tree leaves look amazing. Always a fan of coral trash cans.

I don't have space for anymore Lego. That doesn't stop me. Just annoyed I keep missing out. I came home to buy one for $95, 40% off, but someone beat me to it.

Interesting. I thought the Community Center looks better than Downtown Flower / Design. I have been trying to get the Downtown Flower / Design set for $90-$100USD (Norma is $160.) but keep missing out because of work (and sketchy data). So you like the downtown set? I haven't seen a lot of reviews about it, but I like all the expensive Friend sets once I build them.

I normally don't buy vehicles anymore as they all feel the same. City ones are all the same and boring. However that's a really fun set. I have two of them. It's a great build and the insane colors kind of work with it.
