    I am an AFOL who has been playing with legos for over 30 years. In college I started my own collection and having been adding to it ever since. I love Castle and Star Wars themes though will occasionally dabble in others.

  1. Huh, mine had 2 hair pieces for Andor too. I thought it was just a packing error. But maybe it's standard for some reason?
  2. Horse Knight legs are showing again. Hopefully the Kraken Knights follow soon.
  3. I just noticed the Horse Knight legs missing too as I was going to order some last night. As Roebuck said, not something to worry about as this happens all the time. Just keep watching the site and search by set number as the part number may be changed.
  4. I'll add that the "Content I Started" stream is suffering from the same issue. My Dragon Masters topic that I created this week isn't show up in the feed.
  5. They probably had more demand than sets in stock. It happens, especially when there's a promo running like x2 points. I had that happen to me for the Daily Bugle. Took forever to get the set shipped, but after 2 months it finally arrived. I "complained" after a month and they sent me some free points. Thankfully I didn't need it urgently for a present or anything. I bought it because it was on sale and too good to pass up. Hopefully the same will happen for you.
  6. Resetting the streams sounds like a good option. I've built my own streams before to try to get around the errors in the default ones. What you've stated is accurate.
  7. I wouldn't go so far as to call them a scam, but I think your analysis is too lite on Lego. The reality is that you get that exclusive GWP only if you buy the set on the first day, sometimes within the first few hours. And yes, the terms and conditions say "while supplies last." But to create a limited number of copies of a highly valued GWP and then create a history of there not being enough to last past the first day and you get the nightmare that GWPs have become. It's not a scam and there's no deceit. But I would say there is plenty of marketing trickery going on. What Lego should do is mass produce the GWPs to ensure they have enough to last the entire promo period. And then any left overs get sold at retail price (I've seen many of them listed at $30 retail value). They can even wait 6 months before selling the remaining stock to ensure day-one buyers get to enjoy it more before the general public.
  8. My plan is to use one for display and the other to part out. I'd use the figures and pieces in MOCs. At that price, it's going to be a great PPP and with figures I couldn't get for decent prices on the aftermarket. I really want to keep one for display, but I also love making my own scenes. That's why I ended up getting a 2nd Rivendell. With Barad-Dur I just ended up buying a 2nd set of the orcs. I don't need more black pieces and I'm not going to MOC often enough with the Mouth or Sauron to justify paying $60 each for them. Though the helmet is tempting me...
  9. Oh wow, they did it. They did it justice. It's amazing. I think the tan for the baseplates is an odd choice, but it doesn't diminish just how incredible this looks. I may need to go sell some of my older sets so I can afford to get 2 copies.
  10. Copying @BrickBob Studpants's list Here’s what we currently know: May 75438 Yoda Bust, $49.99 75439 Vader Bust, $59.99 75442 UCS Mando’s N-1, $239.99 75444 AT-RT (M&G), $44.99 75445 Anzellan Starship, $74.99 75446 Buildable Grogu, $129.99 75447 Razor Crest, $149.99 June 75453 Sandcrawler (M&G), $199.99 75454 AT-AT (M&G), $159.99 75458, ?, $69.99 75460 X-Wing (M&G), $69.99 75461 ? (M&G), $99.99 July 75459, ? (14+) Summer 75451 ?, $49.99 75455 Boba Fett, $169.99 September 75456 Advent Calendar, $44.99 And then we have a list of 9 sets, a few of which get released this year (maybe the 3 unknown ones?), the rest is for 2027. 2026/27 Buildable Yoda Giant minifig Vader Buildable Posters Icons of SW Bounty Hunter Pursuit (AOTC) Ewok Village X-Wing Microfighter Bespin Duel Anakin‘s JSF Oh, and a Battle of Hoth Smart Brick set, probably also next year.
  11. Hey all, wanted to let you know that the entire admin team is aware of this problem. I've been struggling with it myself But @aFrInaTi0n and @Jim are on the case and hopefully we'll get some help from our provider soon!
  12. As has been showcased, there are plenty of times pieces have only been available for a short period on PAB. So that's always a risk. I just think that the Vending Machine parts aren't going to be like that. There's been too much chatter from official Lego sources about their placement on PAB for them to be a limited run. I could be wrong, but it feels like those are pieces we won't have to worry about. Nevertheless, I've already placed 2 orders to get at least a small handful of the parts I want
  13. In a vacuum I'd be inclined to agree with you. But the problem is Megablocks showed great shaping, detail, and articulation can be done at a smaller scale. To be lacking in these areas compared to one of their competitors and then charge x times more is what bothers me.
  14. So far these are all an easy "pass" for me. Way too much money for sets that are just ok. Have you all seen the commercial yet? That is so cringe. Openly marketing to millennials and calling them out for still being obsessed with the toys they grow up with (of which I am one, I admit) doesn't seem like a great marketing strategy.
