In the stores of Barcelona (1 official and 2 franchised) they offered the figs prepacked first, but some days later they introduce also the parts in the towers And they also have some loose built figs that you can request if you are not able to build the minifig you want with the parts in the towers

LEGO Videogame Tie-Ins - Rumors & Discussion
El Garfio replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm impressed about all the content Lego has provided free to the game They could make something like Lego dimensions to monetize the skins And have the win-win of selling minifigs and paying Epic games for being in the game I don't know what is the business model of designing 1200 skins for free when the business model of Epic games is based on selling skins, weapons and other objects -
Yes with the space police station, the space fire brigade and the space hospital [Mode ironic off]

LEGO Videogame Tie-Ins - Rumors & Discussion
El Garfio replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
As I see on oficial social media and some leaked photos The only we will have soon (dec 7th) is an scenario of the game where buildings and characters (skins) will be in Lego mode I hope we have some sets in the future (but I'm overpassed by the list of skins available, more than a hundred). Maybe one or more CMF series? Maybe lego Fortnite is "the new" Minecraft? -
I have the previous one 60131 I don't see anything to make me also buy the 2024 version I want to see the parts used for the door to make my own creation loading dock

Is Rapinoe one of the new crooks?
-
Printed corner walls? The police from the chase boat? Is it only a head? a "half minifigure" like racers one? Are the rhombus grille "windows" new?
-
The protesic arm for Autumn, that could be a future item in other Friends characters
-
The prison island could be an item of my wishlist but depends on the price But surely that in a clearance with 40 or 50% off I will buy it
-
Trying to assimilate the new releases Trying to make me understand that city is a line for kids Maybe when I seen the sets on shelves I will see them with other eyes Am I, or I'm feeling like lego trying to replicate some hot wheels "fantasia" cars

In YouTube are speculating about the end of yellow heads
El Garfio replied to El Garfio's topic in General LEGO Discussion
As I have said, nowadays kids need realistic characters to empathize with (the diversity of flesh tones, the inclusivity of people who has the same disability that they or somebody close, the personality, the hobbies, the dreams of who wanna be in future,...) Lego and other toys manufacturers are giving his dolls/figs a name, a personality, an identity,... because nowadays kids not invent them as we did in our childhood Generic figures don't work today, because kids don't empathize with generic figures -

El Garfio replied to El Garfio's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I not sure about kids being them of they families represented by a yellow head minifig Nowadays kids need to empathize with the figure, is due to Lego has named even city minifigs and transform them into a character And maybe, kids will be able to empathize more with minifigs with their same flesh tone skin than with yellow head I know that Lego made the figs yellow to avoid race issues. But they had to break their own rule when a sw character (Lando) was not recognized for having yellow skin And later seeing that was ridiculous that one character were flesh and the other yellow decided to make licensed characters all flesh I know, that most of us have grown with yellow figs and losing them is like losing a part of our past, but the nowadays world is quite different from the one we lived as kids, teens or even adults Crooks are all white, mostly rednecks. The face features and hair (blond or redhead) of crooks make them white You can customize crooks due to there are some hairs that fit better with racialized people, and make figs look like they have dark skin although they have yellow head -
But also a six years old kid see that it's a space/sci-fi set, Lego don't need to put a banner, like they don't put an animal/wild banner in forest sets, as they don't put a farm banner in tractor sets

El Garfio replied to El Garfio's topic in General LEGO Discussion
What race is Wanda About? Lego is representing black people and Asian people with yellow faces using hair pieces and in the case of Asian also facial features But it's not able to represent nowadays Latin people or Indian people with yellow faces Lego is not able to represent a Mexican guy without falling in stereotypes like the moustache and the big hat (how many nowadays Mexican guys wear a moustache? And how many Mexican guys go outside wearing a Mariachi hat?) And the same for people from Indian subcontinent. They are only able to mark them as Indians putting them a turban -
That is ridiculous I have seen the technic set with the space banner and I don't know what to think The banner is awful but more if you add it to all kind of sets Technic cars don't wear the speed champions banner

El Garfio replied to El Garfio's topic in General LEGO Discussion
But Lego is marketing its minifigs in colors different than yellow in posters that are shown in all the official stores and in all the webs and toyshops that use Lego official promotional stuff -
Due to this campaign where non licensed minifigs have flesh skin heads Some YouTubers are speculating about introducing flesh skin heads to all the lines for enforce diversity visibility The use of flesh skin heads is working well in Friends Lego flesh skin head minifigs are more usual than yellow head ones due to the amount of licensed lines that Lego is managing What do you think? Do you would find it a lose of a main traditional aspect of the toy? Or do you would find it positive?

One minifig and a droid (the blue thing) it's like lego don't have the sw license and try to release far far away galaxy sets (like some cheap brands do for supermarket chains)
-
I like the shuttle more than the rover If the price is good maybe I will buy it
-
Yes Due to it when I see, in bricklink, a local seller that have stock of doors or windows that can be used for pirates or medieval buildings I buy them all
-
But this is now Ten years ago, there were bricks and more sets based on pirates, Castle, princesses,...
