The Netflix show is a really good sign for more One Piece sets. I could see them pulling a "Rebuild the Galaxy" like they did with Star Wars and give us Anime versions of certain characters that show up in sets connected with the Netflix special. It also gives me hope that Lego will make some sets to fill in the current gaps for Seasons 1 and 2.

Where is Dalton!?! I seriously thought he'd be in the Drum Kingdom set. Also, this line up shows how badly we needed a Whisky Peak set. Igaram and the other Baroque Works agents could have been included. Those complaints aside these are some great sets. I think Tashigi instead of Dragon would have made more sense for the Loguetown set. And the giants are horrendous. But I'm definitely getting all the sets eventually.

I've heard lots of talk about UV light being the cause. But I've bags of loose brick yellow while sitting in a box in my basement. They weren't yellowed when I stored them, but when I pulled them out they were yellowed. Riddle me this, how is that possible?

I haven't been getting a hard copy sheet for awhile now. In France.

EB isn't meant to be a photo hosting platform. But there are still some good free options out there. Flickr will give you 1000 free photos. And if you fill up you can do what I just did and make a 2nd account.

They are allowed. I saw the same rebuild on Reddit

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?

Horse Knight legs are showing again. Hopefully the Kraken Knights follow soon.

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.

Thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
