  1. Compound that with the fact that the Euro price includes VAT which means that Lego is only netting €280-290 on those sets versus the full $380 in the U.S.
  2. BDP guidelines but I think it's safe to assume it applies to internal designs as well. It would be doubly hypocritical if it doesn't. Of course, if Shell or BP threw enough money at TLG, I'm sure they would make an "exception" just like they do with the myriad of fossil-fuelled licensed vehicles they produce every year. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/guidelines.page Avoid highlighting fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas (e.g. depicting refineries, fuel storage or gas stations). It’s acceptable to showcase historical methods of transportation that rely on fossil fuels (e.g. steam locomotives). Modern vehicles need to adhere to this guideline, therefore the propulsion method should be ambiguous if it is not a sustainable power source.
  3. Gas/service stations are no more due to their hypocritical stance on fossil fuels.
  4. Lego has issued a couple of compliance documents for something they are calling "Ninjago World Builder". Only the US documents have been posted which don't include pictures. https://assets.legal.services.lego.com/ecerts/6532385_305_usdoc_en_10367063.pdf https://assets.legal.services.lego.com/ecerts/6532372_305_usdoc_en_10365485.pdf Any ideas what this might be?
  5. Either 42644 is NOT an Ice Cream Truck or they have the wrong pictures!
  6. The Helicopter in 60462 is police themed.
  7. JB Spielwaren has pictures of this set. The box states "Mix & Match" and it looks like each of the vehicles have 3 modular sections that can be combined in various ways.
  8. German retailer JB Spielwaren has revealed the 2025 Classic (Creative) sets. 11039 Creative Food Friends 150 pcs. €9.99 11040 Magical Transparent Box 340 pcs. €19.99 11041 Creative Dinosaurs 450 pcs. €34.99 11042 Creative Happy Box 680 pcs. €39.99
  9. You can see a small image on this publicly available official Lego document. It is set 40793; 212 pieces.
  10. https://brickset.com/article/115297/christmas-gwps-revealed
  11. It probably would have if it came with a minifigure like this:
  12. The packing facility has been up and running for almost a year now. https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/chesterfield-county/lego-begins-operations-at-external-packing-facility-in-chesterfield-county/
  13. My take on these sets is soapbox/Red Bull downhill racing style.
  14. Would this be the first time a licensed product is released under City?
  15. Is it just me or does the BAM Cooper torso in that pic have arms of different colors?
  16. BDP Series 5 has announced that Adventure in Transylvania has been approved for production. Pre-ordering begins 3 June 2025 with shipping scheduled for October 2025 just in time for Halloween.
  17. News Stand in the UK will ship the English-language versions anywhere in the world. A 12-issue subscription sent to the U.S. is about $140.
  18. I would be very surprised if any get approved through Ideas as that program specifically prohibits "series" of sets. IMO, he should have submitted the train first and then submitted a single building every 3rd BDP submission period.
  19. An original art set has been submitted to LEGO Ideas. A Night in Summer by the Grand Theater Also, three different sets based on Bob Ross' career have been submitted. Bob Ross - The Joy of Painting Bob Ross - The Joy of Building Bob Ross: Studio & Paintings
  20. I'm not sure they are claiming the building style (this would be counterproductive as ALL "legal" building styles could then be considered their IP) as IP but rather the Modular label as a trademark the same as Ninjago, Dreamzz, Friends and Monkie Kid. But they are limiting the building style as it copies their own in-house designs. At this point, though, it would probably be difficult to enforce the trademark as they have let it be used by others for so long; however, I do think that MOC designers should start labeling their instructions as "Modular-compatible'.
  21. For anyone who is interested in the Wild West Train, the designer has the station submitted to Ideas. The building in the lower left:
  22. For anyone who purchased the General Store and/or is planning to buy the Wild West Train in Series 4, the designer also has 3 related buildings on Ideas: Train Station Sheriff's Office Blacksmith The Blacksmith has achieved the 10k threshold and will be part of the Sept 2024 review period. I wonder if the General Store would have sold out if people knew about the other projects.
  23. Have the beta testers already received their sets or is this when they will receive them?
  24. It's available again. https://www.lego.com/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=6490240 $5.94/5,65 €/£4.92
  25. The Chesterfield complex has been packing sets for awhile now.
