Not the next Lego movie I was expecting

It was announced a few months ago and the world went 'Okay....'.

And after watching the trailer I still feel that. I'm really upset that the racing themed LEGO movie got canceled. It sounded good.

The train station is tiny. EDIT - Also first sold out and Mushroom House was shortly after.

yup, California lol.
probably the biggest story I have seen as far as amount of Lego sets and monetary value, but otherwise this is pretty common here.
ten years ago voters passed Prop 47, which was sold as reform for drug crimes and theft. any property theft under $950 is considered a misdemeanor citation, no arrest, basically a ticket. Thieves got wise to this and due to insurance, big box retailers will just let thieves walk out of the store, employees are only told to observe and report, don't engage the thieves.
I personally have seen a guy load up a cart with Lego and walk out of Target in a nice area of town, while security just watches. My local facebook marketplace is flooded with new, Lego sets selling for about 50%-60% of retail - now how can they afford to sell so cheap?
Anyways people are getting sick of it and law enforcement in some areas have divisions dedicated to organized retail theft rings and once in a while make big catches like in this story.
 
Yea, my son wants that X-Wing Starfighter in the foreground of the top photo. I'm gonna need Officer Carlson to "miscount" the quantity of that by one...

We taking bets on over half disappearing from the Evidence locker?

I don't think they are going to evidence locker. They will get lost on the way there.

My DARE officer went to prison for three years for stealing coke from the evidence locker. Several others were getting paid off for 20 years to look the other way on my neighbor selling pills. I have zero respect for the criminals in blue.

Never forget that cops steal more in civil asset forfeiture than burglars.
 
the white Darth Vader appeared in the Infinites comic years ago and Hasbro made a Black Series version of him that was released within the last year or two.
I know everyone has wanted a Darth Jar Jar ever since it was a meme but I am more interested in that Darth Rey.
No interest in the set though. I have the Solo Falcon still which I like having as the non-traditional version.
 
I bought the Dreamzzz Spacebus off of eBay for half off. It's a great set. Most of the build feels very 'old school' just bricks on top of bricks, no Technic or insane amounts of SNOT. However the ship is small, no way in hell it's worth $100. I'm thinking $75 at most. There are a bunch on eBay for $60 which is fair. Highly recommended for all Space fans. The Chima Yellow pieces are limited and very common parts if you want to make it looks better. I'm oddly missing a lightsaber piece. I normally have deformed pieces, or miss colors, not missing parts. But then I had two extra parts that shouldn't have been there.
 
I haven't gotten any of them but a lot of them are really cool. I've picked up a couple at the store to look at and set them back down. I just don't have the room and don't collect like I used to. My oldest son got a couple and they are cute for sure. I hope the line continues, its always great when they have their own popular property.
I did purchase the new mini Disney (Sleeping Beauty) castle on the last day of double points, should be arriving today.

Bit the bullet on the Artemis Space Launch System set. Been a while since I’ve spent that much on a set but I’m a sucker for the NASA licensed sets and the Jules Verne bonus set was also a must-have for me.
 
Thanks! I swear I just checked the cash back deals at Walmart the other day.

The Visitors Center was super cheap from Target during the holidays. Anyone remember how cheap?

EDIT - Turns out the Visitors' Center was $46-$47 from Target.

Jay's Brick Blog has list of new parts coming to Pick a Brick on July 1, including the gray goat and torsos from the Medieval village.

Also, I haven't checked in awhile so this may be old news, but Lego.com has a lot of polybags available for 500 VIP points each ($4 value). Most have been available before but nice to see.
