Big, smelly, dirty city here we come. I need a cheer up today and ordering online isn’t the same. Halloween sets are for buying today 🎃

Have a bubble tea for me!

Coming on September 1st

Well that is definitely not helping my don't buy new releases resolve.

The GWPs are a bit rubbish lately but the Fortnite one is great for DS and will go with his Brite Bomber brick head that was a GWP last year.

I hunh my Milky Way set on the wall using the attachments on the back. Works well, a bit fiddly to hang, it looks great - it's against a navy wall so really shows up.

Not impressed with the new minifugs or the last gap.

Troubledwords · 01/08/2025 07:03

The botanical flowers gwp is underwhelming, it's a set I already have. So I might wait until a better option appears, see if a general gwp comes along that I want more.

LegoTherapy · 01/08/2025 00:05

The Lego website is updating in dribs and drabs instead of all at once so most things coming out today are still showing as pre-order

LegoTherapy · 31/07/2025 22:33

I love the little delivery truck. That Milky Way looks great! I’ve still to start Starry Night. I’ve not been in the mood really. I tried to fix my Easter chocolate surprise set tonight seeing as Ds found the missing flowers in his Lego storage box but I’m still missing pieces. I know they are here somewhere, it’s just a case of where. I’ve told Ds absolutely no more pick and mix from the Lego store after I found several boxes of unused pieces that he was desperate for at the time.

Here’s the canoe on bricks and pieces

From what I’ve read on a Leno blog, it seems that you either get a GWP or you can pre-order but not both for the same set. So the Italian Riviera that’s going to be our next family build comes with a GWP, but the Arkham Asylum is a pre-order so there’s no GWP. I think that’s what they meant anyway. I’ve never pre-ordered anything as I’m pretty sure there’s usually a GWP if you wait. It might not be linked to anything in particular, just random.

This is what I have seen (give the pic a minute). We’re away the coming week, but I am still leaning towards ordering on the 7th. Theoretically I could try to buy it in the airport on my way home but I have never done that and it feels like it might be a huge faff in general and specifically with my kids in tow. Though they had a good look round the Gatwick store on our way out. Some sections reminded me of all the unbuilt sets in my basement, special thanks to DD who shouted “Mum, you have this one and this one!” at Tudor Corner and something else.

the galaxy one was my daughter’s build after finishing her GCSE’s and I must say one of my favourites , the fender sits alongside nicely. Looking at framing options for the galaxy as want it to be more visible as I adore it !

Next Minifig series. I’m a little disappointed, never felt the urge to as much as watch Spiderman but likely to collect them anyway as I never met a minifig I didn’t love.

LegoTherapy · 31/07/2025 19:00

It’s out on the 7th not the 1st and I’m sad about that. Seems odd to me to bring it out part way through the month. Halloween house and wreath are out tomorrow though. I figured I might as well connect day delivery because by the time I’ve got train tickets to the big, dirty, smelly city and got the obligatory Starbucks or bubble tea I’ll have spent twice the cost of next day delivery.

LegoTherapy · 31/07/2025 09:35

You could buy a canoe and prop it up if there’s one on bricks and pieces.
I really like the set. We go in holiday 2 days after it’s due out so I won’t be able to order it straight away. If the local store has it I could go and get it. Or if I preorder will it be delivered on the 7th?

Just to make your decision harder/clearer - there’s a GWP. I’m minded to order asap because it looked like a good one.

Dearover · 31/07/2025 12:31

I was hoping to see it in person this morning, but the window display is the paddle steamer

Agreed . The original is lovely , not so much what they’ve produced for sale

Show quote history

I also agree. Looks a bit naff to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Italian riviera set has been changed a lot, it doesn’t look anywhere near as good as it originally did but I guess they had to do that or it would have been even more expensive.

The one with the yellow boat propped up is the original.
