Here we area week later and the two packages never arrived. The status changed to undeliverable. LOL! At least WM has sent replacement items.

I just had three Stuntz bikes get lost in the mail for over a week. Usually Walmart automatically refunds you after a few days, but I had to go online and complain. FedEx is garbage.
In better news Walmart has a 550 piece Masters of the Universe Mega Blocks set for $8.50.
The “reveal” of this was pretty amusing actually. The main Lego subreddit, which abhors/is terrified of leaks had someone post it innocuously titled as something like “just saw an amazing set at Taipei airport” and everyone’s like “uh, that hasn’t even been announced or pictured yet, this is way early”$260
3600 pieces

They're funny over there, IDK why leaked images of real sets are such a pain point for the mods. Instead lets see another picture from someone who dropped $1500 3 days ago to buy all the newest modular/technic/UCS sets at once and fawn over their amazing display of wealth.

The problem is LEGO is a big corporation and threatens to sue everyone without cause if you 'leak' the images early. Several years ago Jang got threatened with lawsuits from Disney and he pretty stood his ground. Most people don't have the time or money to fight obviously baseless lawsuits.
And Pirate brings up a good point. I have about 70% of the modulars, but some people have hundreds of thousands of followers with just having all the modulars on a little road. Where is the creativity in that? However these rich assholes then get a following and LEGO sends them free LEGO. Kind of like the DuckBrick guy we all hate. haha

Love it, 7994 retired just about the time I was getting back into Lego so I never grabbed it but I always thought it was a fun looking set. This one definitely doesn’t look as good as 7994 was but given how much Lego has taken advantage of inflation and how much 7994, I’ll grab this new one for sure if the price ends up being $110.
Oh boy, the leaked Roller Coaster at $100 seems pretty cool also, almost too good to be true for both of them.

I didn't see the coaster until just now. It has an Exo-Force mech with it! Then there is a auto truck with three cars for $100, and we are supposed to get a LEGO truck for $100 too.
I was thinking the new harbour would look like 7994 with the new roadplates, just a smaller boat with a little building on the side. 7994 looks more finished but the new one looks more fun for children.

Yea I should have bought 7994 16 years ago!
It’s one of the most stupidly overpriced City sets around on the secondary market. But man is it an insight into how much better priced LEGO was back then. It’s a gigantic set that MSRPd for $90, (I’m seeing adjusted for inflation at $135 now).
This new version is supposedly gonna be $120 (which feels like a deal), but significantly smaller (particularly the boat). If they released 7994 today, exactly as it was back then, I’d bet it’d easily be $160-180, if not more.

Has anyone gotten the QR codes to actually work? I've tried three different scanners, none scan and the one that did found nothing.
I bought 12 new figures from some eBay clown for super cheap. [I won and he didn't mail the figures for 10 days.]
If anyone wants to trade. Also still looking for Vidiyo shark.
My extras: Two train boys, mushroom, dino woman, gamer, Bat Knight, purple wing creature.
Don't have: Goat, detective, olympic guy, weightlift girl.

I have only seen the large QR codes once in a store and I didn't bother trying to scan since there was only a couple figs left.
Even the figs I got recently from Target were the small non-scannable codes.

According to picture I had the right type of QR and they still didn't scan.
Maybe the codes have changed again since, but the big ones scanned just fine for me when I finally found boxes with them instead of the small ones: https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/it-l...-codes-could-reliably-reveal-contents-inside/ didn't need a special app or website, my scanner popped right up with what was inside and was spot on for the ones I bought/opened.

Must be my phone being a cheaper Andriod but that was the one that scanned and none of the codes came up.

That does not look like a fun build
May the 4th promos (available starting 5/1):
- Trade Federation Troop Carrier w/ $160 Star Wars purchase
- AAT w/ $40 Star Wars purchase
- Battle of Yavin collectible w/ $90 Star Wars purchase (insiders only)
- Star Wars art print for 1,800 pts (insiders only)
The mosaics all seem like cool display pieces but dull-AF builds
No, this is good. We can start getting an idea on price per page now like the price per piece with sets. So Ferrari was 230 pages at $80, so about $.35 a page, this is 315 pages at $150, so about $.47 a page. When the inevitable Marvel one comes around, I’m guessing $.45 a page.
Android here too. Literally a free phone, the cheapest one Verizon had, I got for trading in an ancient Samsung Galaxy. TCL, like the Chinese company that makes the garbage flatscreen TVs you see on heavy discount for Black Friday every year. I actually did use an app apparently, "QR and Barcode Scanner."

I built the Dots classic space Art and the Starry Night. Starry Night is a fine build besides step 5 which is layers of 1*6 plates. The space man was terrible.

A lot of adult sets are boring. Piano was really boring. Make the 20th identical key thats the same 50 pieces.
I can't imagine the pyramid being fun either. Or the frog tree.
Nobody asked, but the new CMFs have some pretty neat aspects in person. Ones with transparent parts in particular, IMO. The nursebot has these cool trans blue arms and all of Orion's limbs are trans purple - looks great with the star print (same with the solid black with print on the flying saucer figure). Both of those look great with the printed bases. The printing on the M-Tron body/legs is a nice subtle update, same with the parka on the Ice Planet body/armor. Only gripe is that the Ice Planet helmet is too plain. The piece itself looks great, but if not dual molding then the whole visor should've been printed orange instead of just the front.

I think most of the figures are 'meh' but Ice Planet is my favorite Space theme and that helmet is not orange enough. Also not a one of those minifigures scream "I'm worth $5!"

Best Buy has this dino Stuntz set for only $8.
Some new sets have been revealed.
Mario is getting a full reboot, looks nice. All three digital figure are getting new, much smaller, sets. So much for 'Mario is retiring and being replaced by minifigures!'
Speed Champs looks amazing and I'm not a car guy.
Sonic looks... fun. There is a Tails boat. Eggman has a drill.
The Advents look great. City is all ugly sweaters and Mrs Claus has a dress this year. Also has a new baby stroller piece. There is a Disney Princess one with tiny minidolls. Harry Potter looks fine and Friend isat least better than last year.
Marvel is getting a reboot of sets from the Avengers movies that people actually liked. And a Baby Groot that dances. Plus, trigger warner, cloth capes are being replaced by plastic ones for every character!
City has a tram for less than a 100 euro. [Only City set revealed so far.]
Technic has a very nice Moon rover.

Isn't replacing cloth with plastic the opposite of Lego's sustainability initiatives?
Ended up not ordering anything last night. I'm mostly interested in the new $150 SW design book, but that doesn't count toward any of the promos.

I was thinking I might order the $100 R2-D2 during this event, but those freebies wouldn't interest me even if I qualified for the last one.

Are you saying LEGO is hypocritical?!?! I complained to the company that the big expensive sets come in these paper thin cardboard boxes. They said it's because they are trying to save paper. I asked what they did with the strong boxes that they mail the sets to stores in. They didn't have a reply.
My guess is that the cloth ones are made from a third party and LEGO wants to cut those back.
I was debating getting the Ghost with the coupon but nah. So if LEGO somehow runs out of the coupon message me and I can give someone my code.

I really like this set.
And now I got your attention Series 2 of BrickLink Whatever is starting June 6th.
thats a nice set, but not for me. I didn't even know Monkie Kid was still going, glad one of their own, non-licensed IP's can continue.
Saw some pics of the Harry Potter and SW sets too, some good ones but none a must-have for me.
I really am thinking about that new Milano though and maybe dancing Groot but will wait for sales, GWP or double points promo.

Looked through the announced Technic sets. Still no new 1:8 scale supercar
The Porsche GT4 looks nice but the price is ridiculous at $170 (all because it has the new rechargeable hub). The similarly sized, non-Control+ Koenigsegg is $53.

The Up House and cherry blossoms have been 20% off for weeks now, so it's weird that's in the ad. Hopefully they have 20% off some sets already 20% off.

So the Target sale does have a very select few sets for 20% off 20% off, aka 37% off. They include two micro Star Wars ships $5.50 to $9.20, the Cherry Blossoms, Lotus Flower if it's in stock, and Creator small t-rex for $9.59. Nothing that hasn't been on sale for these prices or cheaper before.
