New Feature Castle Battle Packs. You can edit the bundle order to change faces, weapons and other elements.

I have both UCS Falcons, both UCS Star Destroyers and the UCS AT-AT built and on display, and yet even though the new Death Star is generally bigger than any of them, it just feels....underwhelming? It's big, but it's empty. Its a display piece, but it's boring. Take the dioramas for the Emperor's Throne Room, the Garbage Compactor and Darth Vader's Meditation chamber, stick them in a generic wall frame and slap in a few basic sets (Death Star Cannon, Death Star Escape, Detention Block Escape) and you essentially get the same thing. There is no engineering wow like the AT-AT. No detail and shine like the Falcon. Not even the big cheese wedgeness of the Star Destroyer. It just looks like a circular frame for smaller sets. Maybe if they had done something like the Batcave Shadow Box and had a spherical front that swung open dollhouse style to see the interior. Or something crazy like a spherical front that hinged open in both directions to have an interior with the sphere halves on each side. Something that shows pushing design to the limits (like the AT-AT) to make it look impressive inside and out. Something to justify the hype and the price... But they didn't. It's just lame, lazy, boring and overpriced, which describes too much of Lego SW these days. I'm happily looking forward to buying the Venator over this. And fortunately, just like the Venator, they gave us the laziest, most underwhelming GWP possible for such an expensive set, ensuring there is no FOMO to drive an early sale. Harry Potter sets get more figures and better GWPs every single time they drop a big set. I don't know why Lego is so clueless in comparison....

Hmm, a $1000 msrp set that requires MOC to make it epic. Probably not the publicity LEGO would want.. 🤣

Nothing like coming full circle. I joined BP because of BP and have stayed around long enough to see the release of UCS version of BP. LOL

It is busy but that room was crazy packed with candy/sweets goodness! I think the set actually looks good and captures that scene very well.

Brutality!

Long weekend project. Great set, despite just being a box.

The set is old school, not the new abomination. I built one, built a back wall and put it in a forest scene using: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-173236/Brick Artisan/cottage-enclosure-compatible-with-set-43242/#details and https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-176497/gabizon/48x48-display-for-set-43242-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs-cottage/#details It looks great!

Lego has lost their minds, the plot, etc.

$330? LEGO has lost their ******* minds. Psst: The set # is 41843, not 40843

HUUUUUUGE miss on the GWP. Could have done something really epic. As for the back of the set, meh...its rough looking, but given that 99% of people will be slapping this next to a wall, it can be somewhat forgiven. For me, the nail in the coffin is the price. $800, (maybe $850 with a crazy special over-the-top GWP) would be acceptable.

Let it rot on the shelves until LEGO gets a clue.

Great deal. I grabbed one for a personal build (will modify for castle theme) or on the off chance my kids suddenly get into the Snow White theme...

Time to unleash my Kroger Lego gift cards!

These are Exclusives so probably won’t get the 15% https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/hogwarts-icons-collectors-edition-76391 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/diagon-alley-75978

Bleh. The 'May-the-Fourth' Kamino Training Facility promo had 190 pieces and 3 minifigs for a $160 buy-in. Was honestly hoping for something a little more substantial for a $1000USD set. Fingers crossed there's at least one unique/special minifig... like another variant of a hot-tub stormtrooper?

It needs more Oompa Loompas.

I mean that straight up is the chocolate room, chockful of colors & the bizarre. The variety of pieces and diverse palette makes this set a wonderful parts pack. Waiting for a review to show that chocolate fall in motion. Also, never get a better excuse to post this so....

Wayyy too busy

I stopped using usps unless there are no other alternative . I’ll pay extra to avoid them

I'm no lawyer but I believe this sticker gives you legal authority to take the ol' van over to Walmart and sell in their parking lot.

Under the current circumstances and lack of clear future why would you focus on anything?

Wow! I didn't notice that. I think it's a terrible direction for Lego to go. It makes me feel like it goes against what Lego is about. I don't want to buy stuff from Lego that makes me feel like I could have just printed it myself at home on my Bambu. In fact, if my family saw this mixed in with this set, they will just assume I printed and added it 🤣.

But when you are done building it you can store it in the set box 🤣 This should be the GWP for buying the Death Slice and even then it would be hard to cough up $1K

Got to sell those other trains now.

This review shows the precise placement roughly in the spot mentioned beginning around the 10:27 mark.

Here is the annual rumor, confirmed, non set specific thread we all hold dear to our hearts... with my initial thoughts, even if you don't care, you are still reading them, aren't you! 2026 sets rumored as of Sept 2025 75421 Vader's TIE Advanced $69.99 (it better be in scale to the recent interceptor, bomber and fit in a trench along the new $1000 death star (lol, I joke) 75423 Luke's X-wing Fighter $99.99 (wait did we just get a small version last year and a really nice version in well, 2018, and it was $64??) 75436 6+ Mando & Grogu speeder bike (movie set based or season 1,2,or 3) $9.99 so regardless of the version, its cheaper then the minifighter set for both figs. 75437 Cob Vanth & Cad Bane duel playset $29.99 (probably a lame playset but Cob will be the price point) 75438 Yoda bust $49.99 (not a fan of helmets and busts) 75439 Darth Vader bust $59.99 (still not a bane but it's Vader, so maybe?) 75440 Midi Scale AT-AT $59.99 (what will be the hidden egg? Luke? a bunch of snowtroopers inside it?) 75441 Midi scale Venator $79.99 (didnt we get this recently? oh no, that was the Acclamator, totally different similar looking ship) 75443 Buildable Grogu $19.99 (at that price its probably not going to look well) 75448 Clone Shock Trooper Mech $14.99 (probably worth it just for the minifigure) 75449 332nd Battle pack - Ahsoka's clones and mando super commandos $19.99 (so its four figure battle packs again) 75452 Buildable BB8 $89.99 (the price keeps going up and I keep skipping them) 30727 something something in a polybag for $4.99

Never expected this ugliness. What are we supposed to do with this?

SC combo set $85 or $17/each. 4 of 5 are retiring this year. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Speed-Champions-Sports-Car-Bundle/17618264747

Still 2x VIP and 15% back at Rak tonight.

$299.99 would've been fine.....$379.99 is ridiculous

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/captain-jack-sparrows-pirate-ship-10365 Compass is below it

Yes, that’s a big no no and a huge policy violation.

Hmmm, so pretty much like the 'Marine Chronometer' that was available (for points redemption) with the Endurance? Would have much rather the previously rumored lifeboat and figs...

Each additional Oompa would have cost LEGO 5 cents in profit. Can't have that

Hello everyone! As a big Lego fan, I'm happy to join this community to read about others like me and share what I'm currently building with Lego!

Barnes has some 25% off sets, some retired but it does not stack with membership 10%. I feel like the value of the membership has been diminishing for the past year, seems like much less sales and stamps promotions than previous years.

Doesn't help you now but this is precisely why I don't use USPS until the 4th quarter or as a last resort. Too much incompetence and lack of accountability. They will wear you out until you give up.

Walmart clearance order arrived from store with a new to me sticker on the box.

I will say the art on the side of the box here is absolutely f**king awesome. Seriously, damn. Frame that and put it on the wall.

Lowest ranked Lego set ever? https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/republic-juggernaut-75413
