I haven't seen the episode of Picard from a few days ago yet, but as for the rest I've liked it. Though I'm hoping they can build on this going forward next season and have something better paced now that they have some setup/introductions out of the way.

I've been trying to work through all the works of Willa Cather this year, and it started out ok, but the last 4-5 weeks have been slow going. Currently reading The Song of the Lark.

Won the advent calendar set from 2010 on eBay tonight. Will use the minifigs and toy builds as part of a train-around-the-tree thing I'm gonna try and do this Christmas.

I finished binge-watching season 3 a bit ago. Overall I liked it. Hopper acting like a petulant kid got old though.
-
Nicely built, and nicely staged!
-
Very nice!
-
Pirates, then Castle (esp. 1984-1996), then ... well it's not really a specific theme, but third for me would be the non-SW large sets from the last decade or so.
-
Don't know of any, though it's possible I guess. I have a Model Team poster in mint condition that came with an ebay purchase, which looks like it hadn't been touched in 30 years... maybe something similar with some Pirates stuff.
-
Yeah, while classic Pirates was my favorite theme when I was a young person, the later Pirates sets had their own strong points (a less garish color palette for example).

In the last couple weeks I've bought multiples of the Creator Pirate Roller Coaster (3x) and the Treehouse Treasures (2x). I'm slowly building up pieces/sets to do a Pirate-themed amusement park in the future.
-
Very nice! :)
-
Just out of curiosity, when a set says it has a certain number of pieces, does that refer to the number in the finished main build, or does the number also include 'extra' pieces as well?

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Picard series, even though I haven't been able to get into Discovery.

This is amazing :)

What franchise should Lego do next?
Paradosis replied to frikandeloorlog's topic in General LEGO Discussion
The fan-made versions of this have been great, but I'd love to see some official Horizon Zero Dawn sets, and not just the machines but also architecture, a bandit camp, and maybe some action scenes through a landscape. -
Either (older) Castle or Pirates

Bought King's Castle at Toys R Us yesterday. Fun build and I like the look of it.
-
Thanks for the review, it seems like a very nice set. I've eyed it for a few years now as I looked back on past sets that I never had the chance to own.

The bow silly looking? This being said is outrage! Though now that you mention it...

Magic in Lego Kingdoms; what role does it play?
Paradosis replied to Sirens-of-Titan's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
For me it doesn't play any role... but then I'm a naturalist, so that'd figure -
I think somewhere up in this thread I posted pictures of myself, but here are pics of my daughters. Here's my daughter Sahara (age 3 1/2) on Easter Sunday... And here's my daughter Athanasia (almost age 5) from last Christmas...
