    I know this isn't popular but I would be fine without arm printing or dual molded (even though I love that) if LEGO could just use more paint on their normal printing. I even asked for a replacement of the head the girl has in Santa's visit because it's so badly done, it was also smeared. But LEGO drives up costs, makes billions and the quality is really bad. The website barely functions even after 30 years. LEGO's solution is just not ever keep sets in stock. New brick buying thing is a mess, there are still two separate groups like before. I said MODERN. Vintage cars are over 30 years old, so even classic space and castle are vintage now.

    That does look good. I'm going to use my suit with some older Fire Fighter suits that are the same color. I think they were for forest fire theme. Also can anyone find ANY times in LEGO's modern history where they made an improvement? I can't.

    *Looks up AUD prices* Yikes, that's about right. I'll hope for a sale, the last two huge sets were on sale in the USA.

    I think LEGO told some low end staffer to release this rumour to shut us up about the terrible changes that 98% of fans hate. Oh true, I'm jumping the gun a week. Hopefully they show up next Friday.

    The Gigantasaurus looks amazing. No way I'm ever going to pay whatever the insane price for the set is though but at least LEGO did a great job on the mold and colors.

    It's March 24th and I don't remember seeing any kittens, squirrels or any other 2022 pieces from January when I looked the other day. So this rumour is shot done.

    I don't know why I said seeing eye dog. I just saw a guide dog yesterday too. A walker is like a four legged cane, normally for the elderly or people just out of the hospital. There are two legs on both your left and right side, then a cross beam or bar in the front. Sometimes the legs of the walker have wheels.

    I figure they would just do a recolor of the HP wands, same with a cane. But why not?! LEGO loves making new pieces to use in one or two City sets... looking at you again guide dog harness.

    Not only that, but the chair lift is silly. What if the person is using a walker or a cane? With the newer flip ramp thing it's much easier for everyone. It allows more 'flat' seats in the front. The whole layout is a lot better. Which now get's me thinking. We had a seeing eye dog, that needs to be in more sets LEGO, what about a new walker piece?

    It's not like all of the USA uses that bus. Most of the school buses around me have a front engine part to them still. I don't know if they have a chair lift. There are still small buses for chair lifts too. I wish school buses were more like regular buses. The chair lift has been removed and now it's a ramp that flips out. So nice.

    I'm currently building Flower Fruit Mountain. 1900 pieces $170. HUGE box. Rather long set. I bought Pooh and Sesame Street both on either side of 1300 pieces. Tiny little boxes. So like you said it's really difficult to tell which way LEGO will go with the set.

    $120 in 2012 is nearly $150 in today's money. So it's only 2.33333333 Joust sets.

    If I'm ever missing I want @eldiano to come and find me. haha

    They should have stuck to three seasons. It was a hit. Great, then make another cartoon series. I hope there are many more shows because I have a feeling after JW3 there will need to be some more fill ins to it as there is a huge dinosaur base in the trailer.
  15. Maple
    I didn't mind the dog robots, the dinosaur robots were just eye rolling. But worse, there weren't enough dinosaurs. The whole island is built for dinosaurs in different climates yet there are less than 10 dinosaurs in the whole thing. It's really wild. And the 'cliffhanger'... damn.... Is the 5th season supposed to be the last?
  16. Maple
    Probably.

    I hope it's a lot better than season 4. Walmart.com has the $40 sets for preorder in case anyone wants to waste their time preordering.

    Use a different browser. If you are using Chrome switch to FireFox of Safari. The old Pick a Brick never worked right for me either and now the issue got worse.

    It's been changing for the last 10 years. The first few years of Friends were rough, LEGO thought lime green and pinks matched, they don't. I started buying Friends in 2013 because there were several sets, a school, bakeries, that looks like slightly colorful City sets. The school was yellow and blues, one bakery was dark pink and tan, another was blues and dark pink and purple. LEGO does not have gender, gender issues are caused 100% by us. 100 years ago pink was a 'boy color' as it showed strength. A little before that boys were dresses. Boys and girls were the same close until they were 8-10 years old. It's society's problems that cause stupid gender issues. Friends a few years ago started adding more boys, which was a nice touch, and this year LEGO finally 100% made Friends a normal theme, just with minidolls. It might have taken ten years but Friends is finally getting the attention it deserved for much longer.

    My favorite was the Exo Force robot body which had was too brief of a life.

    Earhart also lasted to the end and then was on VIP to get rid of the extras. I think it would look really bad if LEGO ran out of the Women's Month set. Interesting my second one just shipped today and it says it's a $23 value. I was thinking it was a $20 value tops.

    https://www.lego.com/en-us/page/static/pick-a-brick It's the en-us part. If it doesn't for you delete cookies and use a different web browser. I have to use Safari as Chrome is glitchy. The Stuntz bikes had an issue only in Americas. Jang from JangBricks said there aren't as many issues in Europe according to messages he has gotten. He's in the USA too. However some of the printing still sucks in Europe because of the fact old Bricks and Pieces came from Europe. 80024, Flower Fruit Mountain I got on ebay for super cheap ($90USD) and mine had the 8x16 plat in bag 8, when needed in bag 7. They sold another one and it was loose. So I don't even know if it's the same in each batch. However the Frozen issue I had was WELL talked about in Amazon reviews.

    You don't like lavender?! I love that LEGO color and so happy LEGO used it in the modular Police Station.
  24. Maple
    That looks great! The only way for it to look better is if it were made from all silver pieces, which isn't possible. So it's as great as it possibly can be. I like the fact you added a little more blue than the TV ship has. Great job!

    I've had melted pieces in a LEGO Movie 2 set. That was my first issue in 10 years. Now, there are issues all the time. A few times being you think you have a missing piece and it's just in the wrong bag. Also I'm in the USA, the Mexico plant is well known to have issues. LEGO needs to get people there and start fixing the issues. Are they big sets? Small sets I never have issues with, larger sets I always do have issues with. None of the sets are less than $99.99 I've had issues with recently besides LEGO not using enough printing on the minifigures.
