Nice. I’m trying to hold back, since I have no more display space, but my Space Shuttle arrived today and I’m just over the moon.

You like the walker? I got it a while back and I’m not particularly fond of it, as a set.

I do like it. I especially like how this is Mando's head. Just a creepy black void.

Just like your soul.

It was cool enough but it didn’t have baby Yoda and it was pretty much the same as the Rogue One walker set. Otherwise it’s fine.

The Mandalorian ship came back in stock and I broke down and ordered it. Don’t judge me!

Well, if anyone tried to get the VIP exclusive Ulysses space probe today, I hope you had better luck than I did.

I saw that it was going to be available when I was at work and thought "Oh, crap." I knew I had no chance.

I was bummed about this also, but I like this fan version of the Ulysses better anyway.

Since getting back into Lego in 2014 with the release of the first Lego movie, I've been watch Jang's reviews on Youtube. They are some of the most informative, detailed and unbiased reviews that I've found. In fact, while there are other good Lego review channels out there, none have come close to Jang's reviews, IMO.

He's moving his reviews to a new channel for some reasons he goes into in this short linked video.

I don't normally promote youtubers, but if you've also enjoyed his videos in the past and if you feel like it, subscribe to his new channel so you don't miss out on any quality reviews.

Jang was at the forefront of Lego vids. He's awesome.

Had no idea he was moving channels, so thanks!

I built the Lamborghini Sian, and took pictures. I really liked it.

An entire set made out of car doors! Amazing!

Lot of cool stuff - I'm sure one set will get approved out of 57. Probably the Office one

I want a bunch of those now.

I'm going to blow your mind. You can literally do that right now. Just buy a bunch of blocks, or sets even. And just build.

Some of us are expert builders but not as good at designing things. Unfortunately having your project hit 10k means you can't sell instructions for 3 years even if it is not selected

That Jazz Quartet looks real swingin', man.
/insert snares and snaps

Lego Ideas Typewriter debuts tomorrow for VIPs. It looks *amazing*!

Bricklink Designer program round 1 pre-orders have started - 3k preorders to get made, 5k max

Would have bought the castle, but sold out quickly. Limit of 5 per buyer means there’s gonna be lots of eBay scalpers for sure.

Bionicle seems hugely overpriced.

I was interested in that too but man it was gone fast.

Well, you can have it if you're willing to pony up $800 on eBay. Lego really should expand the production run of items like this that are clearly in high demand. I really don't enjoy the prospect of trying to set aside time in my work day to anxiously scramble to buy something like this. I dislike it enough to actually consider stopping buying their products altogether.
