You’d think LEGO would want to support their most popular reviewers, instead of having them banned.4 points

While I'm an undisputed "Lifetime LEGO Lover", I just visited Billund for the first time as part of the Fan Media Days event. My Impressions: Billund is a magical town where the bakery is perfect, the streets are clean and freshly paved, and everyone you meet is wearing the classic Minifigure smile. The town of Billund is quite literally LEGO land — the center of town where City Hall used to be has even been replaced by the magnificent LEGO House! Don't forget the very first LEGOLAND theme park, as well as the headquarters of the LEGO Group. The highlight for me was definitely the new LEGO House. It is architecturally interesting, and it's an amazing ambassador of the LEGO Brand. I was impressed by how effectively the building focuses on the core aspects of the LEGO brand like creativity, learning, and play — rather than showcasing the latest licensed products. Behind-the-scenes look at the beautifully decorated employee cantina. To be fair, the town feels a bit strange, since it's effectively a modern factory town that's a bit hard to escape. no wonder many LEGO employees live pretty far from Billund to get a break from the place where everything is awesome all-the-time. For a much more in-depth account of my experiences (both good and bad), I shared a longer version of this article at Brick Architect. Sincerely, ---tom P.S. While it's been exciting to share my initial impressions, I'd also love to hear your impressions of Billund, LEGOLAND, and the new LEGO House museum! What did you like best, what could be improved, or what unexpected surprises did you find in the home of the LEGO brick?4 points

I love how you guys have UCS sets for "scraps" when mine's like half a shelf of SW Constractions and 2 Angry Birds/Chima sets. ?2 points

I didn't like their style of presenting, but as of yesterday YouTube has taken down The BrickShow's channel: The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement. Word on the street is that this is due to several videos showing confidential images and set news in the recent past. They have 450k subscribers - I do hope their account gets reinstated at some point because they did cover older sets that Jang doesn't review. On the subject of Jang, he recently detailed why he doesn't review everything. Reason #1 was surprising to me: Eyyy I haven't forgotten about LEGO Friends! I have to dramatically cut back on my coverage of the line (and its offshoots) due to: YouTube's aggressively antagonistic algorithms that ruthlessly punish not only videos that under-perform relative to others on a given channel, but other videos that follow as well. The overwhelming volume of products LEGO now releases every year, forcing me to either work an unhealthy amount and review everything, or be selective and live a manageable life. A personal lack of interest in many of the past year's Friends & Elves sets. At least #3 has been pushed to the side now with the new racing-themed lineup, so while being mindful of #2 I have decided to review at least a couple of the latest Friends products, maybe more if I get the chance.1 point

I am honestly bewildered as to how anyone could look at the original series' setting and think the world of ThunderCats lends itself to comedy. There were amusing moments sometimes being outright silly for sure yet very little and certainly not in the direction to what this revival is suggesting. From the art style reminiscent of The Amazing World of Gumball crossed with Teen Titans Go! and the choice of inflected 'humor' tossed in for measure, the whole thing so far comes across more as an awkward caricature than a tasteful tribute. Anyway If you want to hear comedy gold then go look up "ThunderCats outtakes/bloopers".1 point

That 75192 has to be stolen, no amount of box damage would warrant 50% off.1 point

This is what happens when you keep diluting the pool just to get more money. The 24 nations format was the best , and they should have stuck to that instead of this BS. Fifa is so corrupt.1 point

Excited about this. I really hope this is a Creator set, and not the next Technic car.1 point

Current trend in animation: simple lines and less details. Oh and keep the story simple for 13 minutes 1/2 episodes. One more thing: make everything look "cute"1 point

You can only dispute feedback for certain reasons and for the majority of the time it works fine. Except when you receive feedback like you have received. You are able to comment on your feedback received. You are able to change feedback you have written, so if it really bothers you, try contacting the buyer and asking if you can improve their experience?1 point

I think the buyout 12 years ago or whenever was the primary reason. They could have probably lasted another 10 years if they would have been managed by a better parent company, and streamlining their online sales of course.1 point

This sale has been going on for a few weeks now if I recall correctly. Still good to get the news out there for those who weren’t aware. Last day is 6/30 according to B&N website.1 point

The revelation that Boost incorporates with the roller coaster is the only reason I want one, and even then I'm not interested until 40-50% off. My TRU had several last time I was there so I'm hopeful there is still one left when I hit it up after work.1 point

Just about an hour ago: Picked up the 42083 at the store in La Jolla. After all point discounts had been applied; I paid just over $100.00 for the set, and earned $15.00 in points again by buying it. So, the grand total was $85.00 and 2 hours in Friday afternoon traffic in south California; still, I’m so happy with this total deal ! ?1 point

Why is Hermione single out? I am sure there are more than enough characters like Hagrid of Snape for LEGO to do a dual pack like the others.1 point
