  1. I would love to see this too. Might be better though to put this in the Pirates forum.
  2. Same thing happened to me, but keep trying. It finally worked for me the second time, though had to refill my cart again. Also, this may or may not interest members in this forum, but the new anglerfish, ray, and hammerhead are available. New great white was out of stock.
  3. Started building this set and it’s a lot of fun so far. The pipe organ, The Organ of Catarino, is great. Fantastic build, the printed tile keys are a nice feature. Von Barron had this organ custom built in Portugal. He mostly used it to play TV show theme songs ?
  4. In the new ocean explorer ship, is that a new hair piece for the female minifig in the middle or is that a solid black piece similar to Daisy Kaboom’s? Either way looks like a good fit for Cara Dune though the part is on the other side it still may work...sorry for the bad pic, copied it off Lego shop site...
  5. Amazon Japan has it up... https://www.amazon.co.jp/レゴ-LEGO-スター・ウォーズ-AT-AT-75288/dp/B0813Q5JKX/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_ja_JP=カタカナ&dchild=1&keywords=lego+75288&qid=1588290762&sr=8-1
  6. A closeup picture of the diver is up on IG.
  7. The rechargeable battery box is (was) great. Easy to control the speed. I used one for the Ferris wheel to reduce the speed since the regular battery boxes go too fast for the fairground sets. Unfortunately found out Lego has discontinued the rechargeable box. On Bricklink it’s already doubled in price. I wanted one for the roller coaster so the ride up is nice and slow. Instead I bought a 50cm Power functions connector so that all the rides can use the one rechargeable box. Works great. Too bad Lego has discontinued the PF rechargeable box.
  8. D-O revealed. 519 pieces.
  9. Ah yes, Bard looks like a good fit. Baze too. Others are decent ones as well, thanks for the input. Now that the Razor Crest is coming with perhaps a new Mando fig, may wait and see if they will include an updated head or not.
  10. Speaking of Mandalorian updates, anyone have a good suggestion for Pascal's head? Was thinking of maybe Tasu Leech's head or even Tony Stark's. Or another alternative? Thanks...
  11. Jangbricks shared some great tips and instructions on options to motorize the Hogwarts Express over on his YouTube channel. Worth checking out.
  12. Haven’t had this issue but I did adjust the head a bit. I switched the 2x2 modified brick with the ball with the regular 2x2 brick underneath it. That raises the head a bit and looks better IMO. Maybe that will help with stability I don’t know.
  13. Marge Simpson's orange skirt gave me an idea for a purist Doda Bodonawiedoo from Max Rebo's band. The skirt has a black line in the middle so I turned it inside out. Not the best, but it'll do...
  14. I’ve used this wrap to ship intact sets before with no problems.
  15. Bricklink is really your best option. I know it's expensive - you need at least 50 of those 1x2 bricks with groove, not to mention another 50 1x8 bricks, both of which run $3+ even in large quantities. Just for those two parts, you're looking at $300+. They're gonna remain that way until they are released in more sets, and who knows when that could be!
  16. Best theme: Creator Expert/Modulars Best minifig: The Mandalorian Best set(s): Jurassic Park T. Rex Rampage and Lunar Lander Worst theme: Brickheadz - sorry just not into these! Worst minifig: CMF carebear - just creepy Worst set: Wooden minifigure Most anticipated for 2020: UCS Star Wars set(s) and I have no doubt a baby Yoda is coming...
  17. At least you’re on the waiting list. As soon as it went live I clicked on the lightning deal box in my cart for the lower price and had a message saying the waitlist was already full. Less than a second. Smh.
  18. This was mentioned over in the Ninjago thread...legs for Admiral Thrawn and Yularen...
  19. 2017 has been a great year for Lego fans - many great sets so far, and of course, many more to come! I thought it would interesting to see what everyone's favorite sets have been so far this year now that we are halfway done...and what they predict will be their top ones by the END of the year. Your favorites can be from any line, any theme, any size (even a CMF), just for fun. So here is my list so far and will that be the same for the end of the year? Undoubtedly no! Your favorites so far include only ones released up till June 30th, whether you own them or not...and predictions for the end of the year include ones that will be, or rumored to be ;) released before Dec. 31st... My top 5 halfway through 2017: 1. Saturn V 2. Assembly Square 3. Carousel 4. UCS Snowspeeder 5. SW Bounty Hunters battle pack By the end of this year top 5: 1. UCS Millenium Falcon 2. Ninjago City Set 3. Saturn V 4. Assembly Square 5. Old Fishing Store Fantastic year, and a bit pricey! But certainly a great one...
  20. Wow! Just amazing!

  22. Nice comparison BrickWild! My favorite is still Discovery 7470. I added some tiles to it to give it a smoother look.
  23. First of all great mods EROL! So this isn't so much a mod as it is just swapping colors. When the Mustang came out I originally wanted to try to make it orange with a black stripe, but not all the blue pieces came in orange as well, so I did red instead. Couldn't put all of the stickers on there and some I could cut around the blue or white. Has anyone else tried any of the other speed champions vehicles in alternate colors? I'm currently working on making the Porsche from last year black instead of gray.
  24. I have the 7468 Saturn V set and it's a neat little set but I would love to see this version as a set. Instant buy for me if it gets made...
  25. Can't tell in either of the pics, maybe it's my bad eyesight, but does Boba have arm printing? Is it the same version as the UCS Slave 1?
