    Replying to the title question: Exactly the opposite! I have spent much more time building, putting time into all the ideas I have been meaning to get to, and filling out my collection via local sales and online ordering. My collection has grown by leaps and bounds!

    B&P order Small tile order for ice cream parlor or diner expansion.

    Darn, that is an awesome custom set!

    This thread is extremely helpful. Thank you to all involved! Finally my trains will all live again!

    Only thing I have seen is a random youtube video stating a list and showing various images of Robert8's ideas (as all these random videos seem to do.) Youtube user was "jaimeeverthing95 foote" and only has 219 subscribers so it is likely not credible information. But it suggests they will be announced November 3rd. Spoiler shows the alleged character list of Series 21 per the video.

    I was just thinking about this while shopping yesterday when I saw the set and remembered my rush to get it when it was released. I really hope they make purchasing a set of them feasible/ affordable.

    Woah, The Flaming Foundry (80016) looks impressive. I can see the Nexo/Ninjago/Monkie Kid design through the generations. Looks like a good mix of minifigs, I would probably pull the the "dump truck" out of the build and then transform/expand the rest of the build into something a bit more elaborate.

    Those are some fearsome beasts! Beautiful tile work all around. Are the door hinges knives?! They look perfect!!! Also, a detail I really like enjoy in most builds is the "out-of-box" elements that draw the eyes right to the action i.e. the snow pile pouring out of frame. As said above the the DBG building contrasts beautifully against the LBG rock and snow background!

    Looks good! I was just thinking about how well sets crossover while rebuilding some Ninjago sets this week. Yes!

    I am loving the updates! The roof vents are a nice detail. I am excited to see the snowplow for the train!
  11. Rockstaremcee
    Yup, ordered mine!

    This. THIS. THIS!!!! As much as I love vehicles, it's must be the better selling/more popular thing for cheaper sets. I try to buy large lots/ small-medium collections but the "problem*" I find is I start to have excessive numbers of vehicles, especially duplicates. *But is too much LEGO really a "problem?" My feeling as well. 1. That would be fantastic. 2. Never say never. (Ack! I just said it twice! lololol) 3. Not a church, but what about a decrepit haunted mausoleum/chapel/hall etc? What is a church once stripped of religious affiliations (symbols, crosses etc) Basically an older style building, with a large hall, that could but doesn't need to be Gothic or medieval styled, and could still have some stained glass windows. Look at the Harry Potter buildings, add some symbols etc and it would be a church.

    Thank you! Lego 71028 - still no pics of the whole series out there yet but I'm sure they will be out soon enough.
  14. Rockstaremcee
    Any images of what series is next after Series 20?
  15. Rockstaremcee
    Yeah, the Mexico factory has been the main issue with North American supply. The Pirates of Barracuda Bay and Haunted House have never been available since initial offering. Day of release they went back-order/out-of-stock and hasn't changed since.

    Beautiful details and layering of elements (the entrances.) Your tile work is beautiful (as it is in your other builds) I love the arts shop floor "gold-bar" tiles and the supply bins under the center table. The various printed wood tiles break up the brown from being over-saturated as a single color. Both creative uses of pieces and use of some pieces I haven't seen before (the 4 top LBG key-shaped pieces.) Do you sell instructions and/or parts lists for your MOCs? I think you could. Are the "books" in the bookshelf 1x2 tiles or 1x2 tiles w/ stud? If not what are they?

    I just laughed out loud at work as I realized there is must be an automatic word replacement from "@$S" to megablocks.

    The Lego store reopened in my state! It was actually really anti-climactic as they had no Series 20 minifigures and nothing new since closing in March. As expected, no Build-a-Minifigure or access to the brick wall. Still nabbed a couple items: 75890 Speed Champions Ferrari F40 Competizione - this is for sale literally everywhere (that Lego is sold around me) but if I'm paying retail, I figure might as well get the VIP points for it. 40373 Fairground MF Accessory Set - It has Two Blue Teddy Bears! 30556 Dots Mini Frame Polybag (Gift w/ Purchase) Two other stops netted: 76150 Spiderjet vs. Venom Mech Series 18 Race Car Guy Series 13 Unicorn, Sheriff, and Evil Wizard 70614 Lightning Jet Just the little crab build and Ninjago figures, no jet or Jay

    Not sure how much it will relate to European stores and supply but the Lego store local to me (Minnesota, USA) just reopened, with very specific restrictions. It was really disappointing because they have 0 new sets, current promos, or Series 20. The store manager said that they don't think they'll see any soon and to go through Lego.com noting that the Mexico plant is still closed (per the national laws - considered non-essential.) But from Lego.com "Product shortages: We expect more of our products will be on backorder for longer than usual in the US, Canada, and Latin America." I don't know if that is just because of my selected region, when I try to look at it for other regions it takes me to the same page. I think because of the lockdown, and the lesser availability of things I have been able to justify splurging. I have 9 vikings and 11 knights from my relentless buying/selling/trading. That's good enough for me... (for now )

    Target run yielded - 4 more Series 20 minifigures: 2 of each bringing the count to Tournament Knight count: 12 Viking count: 9 I think this supplies me with enough lol, I was really only looking for a couple more vikings but can you ever really have too many knights?
  21. Rockstaremcee
    With many stores finally re-opening for shopping in store (in my area), I was able to (over)buy Series 20 minifigures: Tournament Knight count: 10 Viking count: 7 Traded off a bunch of the Series 20 duplicates, resulting in: Clumsy Guy Genie Ballerina Fortune Teller Finally finished out my DC Series 71026 Metamorpho Stargirl Picked up a sealed LEGO 10218 Creator Pet Shop (again odd for me, but this one was inline with used prices so no complaints here.)

    After my frustration on being unable to purchase the Haunted House, I made a pretty large investment 10245 Santa's Workshop 10246 Detective's Office [Sealed] -( I don't usually pay for New-in-Box on discontinued sets because I will immediately lose that markup but this time I splurged.) 76144 Avenger's Hulk Helicopter Rescue 40292 Buildable Christmas Gift Box 60159 Jungle Halftrack Mission - ( I wanted the panther lol) 10 various CMF to fill holes like The Rapper, Classic King, Sea Captain etc and then yesterday in the mail came three Series 20 blind bags: a Knight (#5), and an extra power ranger and diver. I also picked up two small lots for sale and they are in totes in my queue line for disinfect/clean/sanitization. Then into the backlog of bins to sort.

    GREAT REVIEW! You know what would make this set better? Being able to buy it Bag 2: Is that a sticker that is put on the shield 'gravestone' piece? Bag 3: Another 'callback' are those controller pieces from the late 80's. Very nice to see all the details [grumble: especially since I will be waiting until they restock this] Same, I had the Monster Fighters Mansion in my display cabinet but had to put the castle on top as it was too tall.

    Went to order both of these this morning,.. 10273 sold out.
