The Cobra

"To celebrate Season 2 kicking off", most Italian stores are marking 2023 and 1st wave of 2024 Dreamzzz sets 35% to 45% off.

Leftovers in Arese (a few pre-built Dark red Santa & co. still available)

That's one of the funniest torsoes ever (originally featured in one of the lamest subthemes ever).

Carugate (smaller LCS than Arese, yet a slightly better choice of parts).

Today in Arese

Yesterday in Arese (I guess none of these parts are new to the world, but most of theme were available for the first time; yet we are missing some of the above):

They actually have a customnizing machine (11.99 €/each). My wife and I thought this was something coming from there. There was a nearly identical torso with no back printing and no "neck" guide in the BaM station, I picked this one out of curiosity.

New building station in SanBabila too. Most important, new (to me) pieces! Great detailing on a mini head, and an odd drawing on an ordinary torso (click for larger pic).

Arese: BaM and PaB still locked and labelled "Ask the Staff". Light blue dog costume finally has arrived, I don't remember any other recent piece being available.

It's great to see Whitefang reviewing a CMF Series again. And what a Series! (and lots of extra parts too!)

Cool, thanks. Hopefully someday I might find it.

What about that fruit cake held by n°6? Is it a BaM exclusive or did I miss it coming in a set?

For the record, Toys Center is the biggest toy store chain in Italy, where you can find retail exlusives and marked up RRPs even on €.10 sets. Yet here we are.

Meanwhile in Italy (picture was taken earler this month but I only found out a few minutes ago. They are probably sold out)

The price is finally right. My girlfriend and I grabbed all 6 first wave beatboxes for 3 Euros each.

A few weeks ago I built a MISB 60215 Fire station. I was surprised that the Siren was barely working (flahsing on one side, basically no sound) I checked the one I built a year before (60209), and it was dying too (it could make some sense, every now and then I used it for a few seconds) I read that replacing the battery may not solve the problem. Did any of you face the same issue, even in never-opened-before sets?

Is everybody too busy enjoing summer holidays to share their opinion or is it just that nobody cares about LEGO® City Stuntz? Let me quote a Brickfan user: " Can't wait to see these right next to Vidiyo in the clearance aisle!"

I liked Knights Kingdom II (except for the buildable figures)

Only 30% off here in Italy. That's not nearly enough. (Yet a few bandmates look ok to me, too bad they come in blind boxes instead of blind bags)

People, unless something has been lost in translation... 60310 "Hen stunt bike" must be an awesome set. https://brickshelf.com/gallery/thecobra14/zzz-other/citystuntz.jpg

Too bad the GT comes in a 2-car set (with something I couldn't care less). I will add Chevy's and Koenigsegg to my collection, not sure about the other sets.

On both Firefox and Chrome, I have this strange issue in the Town forum:

I was a City fan, but I'm about to give up.

Yesterday was AFOL day in Italian LCSs. Too bad there were no new pieces and only pre-build winter and Easter packs (at least, in Arese).

And here too. I'm taking the risk ^_^
