With all the different sets I've bought over the years I'm sure I have plenty of Slytherin Torsos that can be used to make Crabbe & Goyle. They may not be the correct ones but if all else fails I can use the ones from the old Polyjuice set. Yes it would have been nice of them to include them in this expensive set but they don't seem to be very generous anymore.

I'm skipping the June wave. Probably will get some of the dual molded legs at some point with some different torsos. I don't collect sports themed minifigs and most of these are quite boring.

I was all set to buy some of the axolotls until I realized I could just buy a couple of the sets they are in & get all the extra parts form the sets for a couple of dollars more than just getting more of the axolotls off of PAB. Same thing happened with the Chicken Coop set & the otter battle packs a few years ago and the arctic set with the seals. I did place an order for some of the white pigeons and some of the printed tiles as well as a few other things but I'm going to wait for a decent GWP and/or 2x points before ordering anything else. Off to go buy some more of the Axolotl set now.

There are places to purchase full sets. I didn't bother this time around as I knew there were 4 out of the 12 figures that I don't want. I went to my most reliable local source over the weekend & was able to get all 8 that I wanted along with doubles of some. Had a hard time with the scanning app though. I'd say that a good 1/3 of the boxes I tried to scan didn't show me anything.

Hoping the red elf hat & torso will be available via PAB or maybe BAM. I need more red outfitted Elves.

I'm really liking the looks of the Book nook set. The only previous one I was interested in was the Sherlock Holmes one. This one looks great.

I'm not really a Moana fan but those Kakamora's are a must have. I'll get the Lilo & Stitch Beach set even though I already have Lilo's House. I need the rocket ship ride for Stitch even though it is pretty simple looking. Haven't made up my mind about the Stitch & Scrump set yet. They are a bit odd looking. Don't really care about the rest of this wave.

A couple of days after I was notified that the best seller Space Torsos were no longer available they reappeared as available for purchase as standard parts. So I placed a new order for them. We'll see what happens this time around.

I really like the alternate builds for this one. I have the alternate build Inn built from the previous one as I didn't like the way the brick built sails looked on the Pirate ship.

I like that fall cabin too. And the Flower Shop. Not sure about the Glamping Cabin because of the colors.

They look nice but those prices!

I will need to acquire a bunch of the new seal as soon as it shows up on PAB. Is it just me or do some of these sets seem a bit more overpriced than usual?

Same happened to me for both space torsos. I'm quite peeved since both have been available as standard parts off and on since I originally placed my order when they were briefly listed as best sellers. I have all the other parts needed for both colors of the spaceman but now can't complete them.

I'm still getting printouts with both bestseller & standard part orders in the US. I have an issue with they printouts they've been sending lately with standard part orders. The order number doesn't match the order number that LEGO assigns to the full order, it's a totally different random number so it's a pain to match up to the actual receipt they email. Last two standard orders received I've been shorted a quantity of 1 of a particular element each time. One order I only received 11 of the 12 I ordered and the other I only got 23 of the 24 I ordered. Still need to call customer service about it. One was a 1x1 round printed tile that they seem to have stopped including an extra of anymore in the PAB orders, they used to almost always send at least 1 extra. I also have an order I placed when most of the newer torsos and other parts showed up as Bestsellers that I'm still waiting on the Spaceman torsos in both colors. Just got another update that they are still backordered but they'll be charging my card soon. The issue with that is the order page online makes it look like they actually already shipped them with the rest of my order. It says partially backordered at the top but shows the cost of the backordered parts rather than awaiting stock for the ones that still haven't shipped.

There were 7 figs in the Ninjago wave for January. I like that they are doing smaller monthly releases instead of just quarterly.
