That is one way of looking at it. An alternative way of looking at it is that LucasFilm did not want Lando to be done that way and insisted on using another colour for better recognition. Then once they had done that for some licensed figures, it made no sense to keep using yellow for the other characters so that was eventually phased out in favour of more realistic skin tones for all of them. Imagine if we lived in a different reality and most Star Wars actors were brown skinned and they started making sets with the traditional yellow. Then a white actor played a character that appears in the theme later on and a different colour is needed to differentiate him or her from the others. Yellow would have then meant brown skin instead, with a lighter colour used for white people.

I'm not sure that timelessness is that important when it comes to Vidiyo. The app will die, the parts will live on. Does it matter that the app will die, considering it is likely to be a fad and not wanted in a couple of years? It will likely be replaced with another app that the kids then will want to play with until that becomes unpopular. I'm not at all bothered by such themes even though I think they are a bit naff. It is LEGO marketing to people that probably wouldn't buy much in terms of normal building sets. LEGO either markets something to them and gets some sales from that part of the population, or doesn't market anything to them and gets next to no sales from that part of the population. It is not like Vidiyo is stopping other themes like some people (not you) make out.

I'm guessing The Bee Gees and The Jimi Hendrix Experience for 2 and 3.

You can also think that LEGO City and so on exists in a racially pure world where everyone is yellow.

It does exist, and the render is made by LEGO. It doesn't exist at BL yet as the set has not been inventoried.

It's a shame that is nougat and not the usual light nougat for fleshies. But it's nice to see another licensed head slip through again.

The problem is often that you need a relatively new phone or tablet though. I bought the recent Mindstorms 51515 kit, and needed to buy a new tablet to use it even though I had a perfectly good one that was about two years old. I checked before buying and knew this so it wasn't a surprise, but it is annoying when their apps only run on very new devices.

They have probably realized that they don't need to do double VIP to incentivize sales at the moment.

There are loads of brands of waterside paper available on European amazon sites, ebay, etc. As for clearcut, most spray varnishes or lacquers are fine. You can even brush on a lacquer if you want.

Yes, that could happen too. But not in this case. We only watched the DVDs after I spotted them for 50p in a second hand store, which was after Chima had ended (or possibly in the last wave).

Yeah, I forgot that one.

My son was similar. He watched Chima because of the sets and not the other way round.

I also doubt they will have access to all the current lego parts but because of not wanting to influence or impinge on the sales/marketing of official lego sets. I also imagine these are going to be picked and packed by lego rather than bricklink as they have indicated that they will ship from Europe and BL doesn't have any staff in Europe.

You are the only person in this thread to have used the word Lego's. They used Legos. While it is wrong to call LEGO bricks Legos, it is also wrong to refer to them as LEGO. So someone saying they built a house out of LEGO is just as wrong as someone saying they built a house out of Legos.

Nothing new. https://www.brothers-brick.com/2010/02/10/lego-landmarks-taken-in-6500-vehicle-burglary-news/ https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/thomas-langenbach-lego-theft_n_1537781?ri18n=true https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/jul/14/charity-founder-left-in-tears-after-theft-of-lego-bricks-for-sick-children

It is probably not even parts in production, but parts lego allows to be used in these sets. They might well end up as plain torsos and parts.

Porky Pig wears no trousers so it makes sense he has no print. Whereas Petunia wears a skirt and I guess they think it would be too controversial to have a official female minifigure without underwear.

Although other manufacturers had toys based on cartoons, the cartoons were distinct from the toys. Whereas LEGO media (at least the successful stuff) tends to be based on the actual toys. In the UK and some other European countries it would not have been allowed. Maybe the Danish company were following the same ideals, that (free to air) kids' TV shows should not be solely for advertising.

It is a razor.

Here, they went quickly then got restocked and never disappeared again! You won't lose money on them, you can sell the 3 Classic Space figures from each set for more than you paid. Selling that volume might take a while though!

Head, crest, tail. Pepe le Pew has no chance, so Penelope Pussycat is out too.

That problem still exists. They should have moulded Marvin's head in the same way as the rest. It looks like it has been shrunk.

That makes you quite lucky. You can sell off any minifigs and so your LEGO purchases will cost significantly less than for those that keep minifigs.

In the cartoons, Road Runners legs are the same thickness as Wily E Coyote's legs, so lego has been consistent with them here.

Road Runner's looks printed to me, there is a line above the waist.
