  1. I'll probably grab a couple if they show up on PAB but it would be even better if they put them in the BAM towers. Dual molded parts are pricey so I tend to grab the ones that show up in BAM rather than the generic hair & leg pieces that are way cheaper from PAB.
  2. Definitely nothing in this wave of interest to me other than the Chicken. So unless they restock with some other old random parts I won't be getting any BAM for this quarter.
  3. The Hogwarts model looks nice but a pass for me since I don't buy microscale except for a few Star Wars ones primarily for the minifigs. Hope we see a Gringotts leak soon.
  4. I'm not seeing anything in that image really worth commenting about. Looks like a few generic figs, the obligatory Santa and yet another ice hockey goal. It's not a very clear image. The Harry Potter one is pretty sparse and the Star Wars & Marvel ones are very blurry. The only one that's really clear is the Friends one.
  5. A few years back I occasionally found a random one a few times in Walmart when they still had a large book & magazine section but nothing since they downsized that section to almost nothing.
  6. Pictures of the winter themed Friends sets & Advent Calendar from the Japanese Lego Catalog: https://catalogs.lego.com/BrandCatalog/ja/?page=15 Lots of animals. And I'm really liking the three toned trees. That Igloo set is going to look great also.
  7. We don't get them at all here in the US at least not where I live.
  8. I find it a bit interesting with some of the new items being added to PAB. I thought when they started the whole revamp of the service last year that they said they were trying to standardize the prices of the parts being offered so that different colors of the same part wouldn't be priced differently. Not that I'm complaining about the lower prices on some new parts but the prices are all over the place when they are adding new colors. For example the carrot top piece in Bright Yellowish Green is listed at $.06 while the older colors are all $.07. And the bush piece in Reddish Brown is listed for $.87 while the older green colors are both listed at $1.01.
  9. Sounds like another boring wave to me. Not into Ninjago or football. So unless there is something else interesting or some nicely done torsos or interesting, pricier accessories I won't have to bother trying to find anything.
  10. Was really hoping for the CNY parts also. I really don't want to spent the money for that entire Parade set as there are a lot of parts in I I don't really want like those creepy oversized heads. Bummed at how expensive a lot of the new animals & hat/head pieces are like the Penguin Head & the Bear from the Stuntz bike. Picked up the Slushy Van for $14.51 yesterday in Sam's. Since the Bear Stuntz Bike is selling for $5.19 in a few places & Lego wants $3.88 for the headpiece I'll probably just grab the whole set. I think a lot of the parts I want are currently showing out of stock. I started a list so now I need to go through it to see what I actually want to order.
  11. Retailer exclusives are usually always also available direct from Lego in the US. Target always advertises them as "Only Available at" like they did with the Shrieking Shack & the Chess Set. They never got the City set with the otters so it seems that one is a Walmart Exclusive though they don't advertise it that way. Walmart also seems to get some of the big boxed Classic sets as retailer exclusives.
  12. I've thought this would be a good idea also but I haven't tried it. Honestly I'm a bit surprised the designers didn't create it that way since those bricks are already available in the darker color. It's not like they would have needed to use part of the new part budget to create them.
  13. ??? The app is showing it available for pre-orders and says only at 🎯. Same for the Disney Duos & Villains sets.
  14. Target is currently advertising that Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes is exclusive to them. Not sure if that's just the pre-order phase or if the set will only be available from them or Lego in the US as they are showing the same for a couple of the Disney 100 sets.
  15. I've got an order of Best seller parts that seems to have disappeared from the USPS. Tracking # from Lego isn't working. Was shipped out about a week ago & USPS tracking last shows it in Indiana on Sunday and that USPS is still waiting to receive it. How long should I give it before I call Lego? Order was placed April 29 and the website says to expect it to take 15 days.
  16. Still nothing new on the US site. Wish they would at least show them on the site so I could get an idea of prices. Don't really want to try converting from other currencies.
  17. Still nothing new on the US site. Looks like around 700 new parts on the CA site. Boy some of those animals are pricey as is the Penguin head/hat from the Slushy Van.
  18. I got mine in Target weeks ago. Weird thay they now have them street dated for June 18. They are selling the 6 pack boxes online now at Target.com. Just picked up the ones I still needed duplicates of in Walmart on Friday so I'm done with this Series already.
  19. The amount of parts listed on PAB has decreased buy a few hundred over the past few days. I always search eliminating Duplo & ask to see out of stock. Hopefully this is an indication that they will be adding new parts soon.
  20. Doubtful. They usually place limits on how many of a specific item one can buy at one time. The 36 minifigs would be way above the limit. Current online limits are 3 of the 6 pack boxes and 16 individual packs. They've never offered the full case. There are third party retailers who will sell complete sealed boxes.
  21. Hope the Orca doesn't end up like the Elephant where you couldn't actually purchase all the parts easily off PAB without having to call & and hope for a helpful Customer Service agent. I never attempted it myself but I know some people were able to get the body by calling in. Can't believe how relatively inexpensive the set with the turtles considering there are two additional large animals with the Hammerhead & Stingray as well as a few smaller sea critters. And The set with the Polar bears is up now. Mama & 2 cubs.
  22. Expecto Patronum is a huge skip for me. So much for it being brick built with lots of transparent parts. Yes there are a few but it's mostly just a big blue stag. Need to see more pictures of the rest. Not sure about that hood/cape piece in the Quidditch trunk and an awful lot of stickers.
  23. I think there's enough newness in the set to warrant purchasing it. By the time I'd pick out the new parts I want off Bricklink and then pay postage fees it's worth it to me just getting the complete set. Hoping the local Costco's start getting in some new Lego soon. Mine still just has the Space Box of bricks. We haven't gotten anything new since the Holidays. Was really hoping for the Up House that some have reported finding in their local stores.
  24. I kind of like the Main Street set buildings better than the Friends one. I prefer classic style buildings to modernistic ones. Plus I'm really sick of the Minidolls, I prefer the classic Minifigs. And I'm a sucker for the 3 in 1 buildings. I do like parts of the Friends set so may eventually get it if I can get a good deal on it somewhere. The Coaster reminded me of the Pirate one too. And I like most of the Space themed stuff they've been putting out the past few years. Wish they would have made the Space Baby in a new color though.
