    Is this Krakow?

    You'll have to make do with this ... If they were going to do anything from Planet of the Apes, I think I'd prefer the stars of the show, the apes, rather than the spaceship that crashes right at the start.

    There were no criteria, just the women that the designer / ideas submitter wanted in the set. I guess she didn't want it associated with the Challenger disaster in case NASA didn't want to go ahead with it.

    You are using classic as a description of a set or theme, I am using Classic as a name. You could equally well describe the current Saturn V as a classic set. It is a depiction of a classic era of space travel, and unlikely to be bettered for a long time in (official) LEGO form. However, I expect most people wouldn't call it LEGO Classic Space.

    Good use for those blades.

    I doubt it, due to complaints about race, discrimination (putting the "wrong" colour face in the wrong job) and so on.

    At the time, it wasn't just men that were against women having careers and so on. Quite a few women were too, especially mothers of girls who had the views that they should be preparing for marriage, family and household rather than a career. It was a society problem, and not as clear cut as just bitter men vs women.

    OK, I don't store mine like that, I store them in sorter boxes, by theme.

    ^ Yes, very true. It remains to be seen if Classic (with a capital C) will refer to just the older Classic Space, Classic Castle, etc or whether terms such as "Modern Classic" will be used for say HP and post-2000 sets (a bit like movies, for example 1970s onwards is often (currently) referred to as Modern Classic, like The Godfather, etc) or maybe "Golden Age" will come in for the rough period 2005-2015. I guess it depends what happens next!

    Use the same method as you use for minifigures.

    Because I don't think they are very good for the most part. Not all the sets are bad, but the cars are particularly bad for me. The Joker lowrider looks terrible to me and the Batmobiles just plain awful. Whereas the Penguin's arctic roller is a really nice car. And the choice for the minifigure, it is all down to Robin's glasses. The torsos he has are not too bad, but the stupid glasses wreck the figures. I know they are movie accurate, and that is the problem.

    LOTR/Hobbit/TMTN are all modern ranges, not classics. "Classics" tend to be 1970-90s sets.

    Brilliant.

    The true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Santa.

    Closing today.

    I don't think it is that copmike is so busy right now, but because lego haven't sent the parts which of course means that he cannot advertise the prizes or start to sort them into individual prizes. I know it took up to three months last year, but that is still pretty good considering all the work he has to do once he receives the parts.
  17. MAB
    I guess so, what with all the manatees. I also remember the year The Flash had to have a Santa style hood as a placeholder.

    I'd be up for a Brothers Grimm style fairytale set. I'm not sure if the kids would though!

    There is a new dress piece that has been used for the Queen in the CMF range, but it is still quite rare. They could do with a new one that is shorter, and also has longer studs / pins on it, like a regular torso so the female minifigs don't keep falling apart at the waist.

    Lovely details. Who is the king meeting under the tree?
  21. MAB
    Brilliant! Was there a key part that gave you the inspiration to build it?

    Lego have won ... but against Bela for copying Friends sets / figures. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lego-china-copyright/toymaker-lego-wins-chinese-copyright-case-against-brick-imitators-idUSKBN1E1157?utm_source=applenews https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-07/lego-wins-its-first-copyright-court-case-in-china-against-bela

    Yes, I'd much prefer re-releases of Kingdoms compared to Classic Castle. Although I'd prefer no re-releases at all, and for them to move on to something called maybe Castle Eras ... a historic range spanning the centuries.
  25. MAB
    It's manatee C for me! Thanks copmike. Now for the fun of waiting to find out what it is. Normally winning early could be a bit boring for the rest of advent, but at least there is a twist this year in not knowing.
