That haircut looks familiar

Are they doing a dance off?

Thought it might be a good time to revive this topic as we have seen a number of changes in the last two years and likely will going forward. Top ten as of 21st April - including confirmed 2018 releases ranked by part count. I may take a look at box weights too a bit later. 1) 2017 - 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon 2.0 - 7541 pieces 2) 2017/2008 - 10256/10189 Taj Mahal 1.1/1.0 - 5923 / 5922 pieces 3) 2007 - 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon 1.0 - 5197 pieces 4) 2017 - 70620 Ninjago City - 4867 pieces 5) 2016 - 75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse - 4634 pieces 6) 2010 - 10214 Tower Bridge - 4287 pieces 7) 2016 - 10253 Big Ben - 4163 pieces 8 ) 2018 - 10261 Rollercoaster - 4124 pieces 9) 2016 - 71040 Disney Castle - 4080 pieces 10) 2018 - 42082 Rough Terrain Crane - 4057 pieces * The Chima megapack and lifesize X-Wing are not included due to not being commercial releases. There should be another two new entries in the list with the rumoured Harry Potter and Star Wars autumn D2Cs. Pretty amazing that eight out of ten sets are from the last 2 years and only the original Falcon can´t be bought this year. No place in the list for any Death Star or Assembly Square, being too small.

I guess @ravenb99 is already on bag 3. 4124 pieces.

Picked up a nice sealed lot

I bow to your superior opinion Mathew. I shall refrain from expressing my silly criticisms. I thought I was a casual architecture fan wanting a fair representation for a fair price but apparently not.

Angry Birds 2018.

Here’s a screenshot from a FB post I saw....

Sweet! I can finally do my Neverending Story moc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx for the heads up. Found a box at the customer service desk. Had about 30 figures still in it, but the policeman was still there on the left.

As soon as I build the little cars I’ll be going “WHEEEE!”

I will probably just bricklink the animals and buy the starter pack for the figs. LEGO is playing the same game with City and Jurassic World now as with the Super Heroes theme: putting an exclusive animal into each larger set to sell all the stupid vehicles.

Smart marketing by LEGO IMO. People will buy multiples to make a larger wall.

This has got to be LEGO just trolling all the helicopter hate.

good luck smooshing these puppies

Yeh me too . Give it time and something else will pop up.

Hi Furious, Spewin, I was hoping by your message earlier in the week it would be back today

Big USP is that 60194 is intergrated with Lego Boost.

Love the final result but man was the build frustrating. By far the worst instructions I've had to work with and I've built a lot of classic sets. Cleaning baked in dust and sorting 500+ black pieces added to the frustration (I actually don't mind refurbing classic sets but this one again was more difficult than usual). I added the railing in the back of the "message intercept" section. Anyway, I really dig the abstract nature of classic space base sets. Not all are good but this one and a few of others are kind of beautiful to look at.

He shoots, he scores

First photos have leaked so I guess this will indeed be one of the May early access sets. Bad news is PF seem to be an extra cost option as there is a manual winding mechanism at the front. Official press release tomorrow at 15h CET?

You maintain mine was a silly criticism? The least I expect from a set based on the great wall... is a set that looks like a wall. The connecting sections of this have whopping great big holes in them ... the continuity of the upper wall looks like an afterthought... it literally does not connect. And at no point did I say I wanted a massive set with huge brick count... I merely thought the overuse of dark green slopes and bricks combined with the bare minimum effort in making any sort of foliage look detailed was a missed opportunity. But if TLG are aiming sets at masters of factual opinions who have no intention of purchasing sets anyway, I'm sure they have nothing to worry about.

Arm so short? Why does she have a shield for a face???

I actually like the tripod. LOL. While the 2 X 2s don't bother me, LEGO does have some girder pieces that would have worked and looked better.

Something to talk about for the next two years, you mean.

Yeah, it looks like they cut corners to keep the piece count down. The designers were probably trying for a hybrid wooden / steel coaster look. Personally I find the new Creator Pirate roller coaster set much more appealing.

I agree. My daughter and I built the carousel this weekend and we noticed it on there as well.

Sure but all of those white round 2x2 pieces that make up a large portion of the set could easily be replaced by less expensive stanchion type pieces or technic beams. It wouldn't look as nice but it would probably drop the price some. I'm not sure I see the value if this retails for $350. And if there's any set that you'll want to add power functions to it's this one so figure around $400+ tax. Ouch. I'm interested in seeing how well the whole thing works in operation. If it requires you to manually push it even with power functions that will make it much less impressive.

At least Lego is releasing these at a time when the subject material is actually relevant. Angry Birds was ten years too late and never stood a chance. This theme has potential and if found at a decent discount I'll probably buy a few to flip locally around the holidays.

I dare you to create a smooshing guide for these. And people think LEGO does not know what's going on with the secondary CMF market

Disappointed by this... Will need about 100 of them to do it justice! Have seen some much better micro scale ones with better parts usage for greenery and vegetation... Serious missed opportunity for TLG.

Whats the over under odds on how many Trump gets sent?

If they'd shutdown the counterfeit listings, they wouldn't have such a problem.

Cyborg

TJ Maxx, here we come!

Just got two police officers from fresh cases at Target. Both were fifth from the back on the left.

That's a little nuts

Somehow I got lucky and smooshed 2 Policeman at the same Walmart yesterday!

Well...the new cowboy and cactus finally made it into our western themed train station...

My five year old daughter is about to lose her ever lovin' mind over this.

Damn, the temptation is great to just dump all of them into the bottle. However you're right that one has to count these to make sure one doesn't deviate from the official build. Otherwise one gets into mod territory.

Yes, these are expansion packs.

See, if we only had Brown Bears wandering into our mining facilities, would be so much more believeable then.
