Wife gave the green light. The Cantina would have been a "day one" purchase but I actually built a decent little MOC a few years back. Of course I've wanted the real deal since hearing about it retiring this year. I'll probably convert the existing MOC into another Mos Eisley building. With the system build Falcon coming maybe I'll construct a hangar bay.

Most recent IDEAS results are in. MINIFIGURE PRIZE MACHINE WESTERN RIVER STEAMBOAT And Luxo Jr. requires further review:

Need to leave some stock for Ollie's.

I love this Mushroom House at $90. It'll be perfect for the little acorn guy from series 22 and mushroom girl from series 25.

The licensed football helmets were my favorite.

I didn’t order any Cantina today it is still hard for me to buy these Price increase sets at full MSRP even with the points and GWP when you could have easily just bought it outright for $315. I am going to wait on the reviews on the Artemis as it looks like more tower less rocket and the build might be tedious if not just repetitive. The amount of expensive sets still to come is once again ridiculous. The LOTR GWP if exclusive to the set should help offset the price. Don't forget Jabba’s Sail Barge will most like be a must have, X Mansion, Airjitsu remake on steroids, Notre Dame, and many more. Maybe we will get lucky and they will do 30% off on the Cantina limit 5 on CM like they did with the UCS Gunship.

That gumball machine is so rad. You guys remember those machines in the grocery stores back in the day? This time we ain't getting slime or those cheap plastic spiders though lol. This thing rewards with minifigures! Tough choice between the Castle and Space fig, but my choice is pretty obvious.

Huge update. If less than 20 units sold in last 7 days no fees....

thanks this helps and yes if it is still around and they discount end of year 40% look out for it flying out the door : ) I am such a NASA fan I'll be getting it regardless but since no special GWP not at first The LOTR I'll buy with the promo and keep both. Probably skip Airjitsu unless it is made to go in with City, Docks, Garden and Market. X Men I'll probably skip but I want. Jabba's Sail Barge is a yes and Notre Dame is a yes. Don't forget the Castle Mountain Fortress whatever it is called that will ship as well soon. Definitely can't afford it all so will need to spread it out over a couple of years unless they have special GWP's. Hopefully they tone the pace down a bit ..... Good times : )

thanks @Pseudoty think this one is my favorite https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-2/642/Logging-Railway

Yes and absolutely, I recommend building the cantina while watching New Hope and drinking a galactic cocktail. It’s an amazing build with lots of great figures and you can add on other tantooine sets like Luke’s landspeeder, and obi wans hut. Only drawback is the wide footprint takes up a lot of space and of course the price.

Prices are up for Series 2: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-2/main.page

too late...*sigh*. I first saw it on the app. and had to go to a desktop to get more info. Stupid Amazon just wants you to verify business info.

continued on the next page: "Now, go buy a Parisian Street. We have plenty of those."

BL Official response to the endless complaining in the comments section on the castle set: Thank you to everyone who participated in Crowdfunding for Series 1, and a big congratulations to SleeplessNight on his very popular Mountain Fortress. The popularity of Series 1 has been incredible and far exceeds our expectations. Looking back, the BrickLink Designer Program 2021 Invitational started off with a maximum of 10,000 sets, and Series 1 planned for 20,000 and was only recently increased to 30,000 sets to help address availability concerns. To dispel any theories, we are limited in scope by our production slot, which is planned with the factory before Submission Intake of the Series even begins. While BrickLink may be part of the LEGO Group, we are still a very small program in the scope of the LEGO portfolio and must work within the production allotment we receive. To be clear, we are not intentionally creating a shortage of sets. That would be a bad business practice, as you can see it only creates upset customers. Unfortunately, the downside of the rising popularity of the BrickLink Designer Program is that we do not have the ability to match production capacity in real time. We appreciate your enthusiasm for the BrickLink Designer Program and look forward to bringing you many more incredible fan designs in future Series!

Well...apparently it makes a good cell phone holder...according to the official pics...it does have that going for it!
