^ How did you get picked?

My interest is picked (meaning interested).

I think you mean piqued. It's a different word entirely. I think Astrobricks was just teasing you about your mistake. ;)

Sorry. I didn’t mean to pique on anyone ;-)

None at all, thanks for the controlled information rather than resort to name calling. One if the reasons I love this forum.

I get that a lot, I have to thank my parents and family members as well as my beliefs (Christians).

Lordmoral · September 2019

I saw the already deleted late 2019 SW sets images (some not all) and I am.interested in only a few that said, while the newly revealed UCS ISD was amazing I was left saddened at the lack of a Vader or interior (in micro scale) and I am leaning to get the UCS Millennium Falcon when I can.

MaffyD · September 2019

^ Totally agree @Lordmoral - that ISD can wait (I already have one).
For 2020 I am waiting with bated breath about the new Marvel, Overwatch & Speed Champions sets. Currently my wants list has practically all of those on it. And nothing else!

I hear you, not to mention the upcoming SW sets (which I am eyeing two which are two: Death Star Cannon and Raider AT-ST) and that LEGO Allosaurus figure as well what location based sets Overwatch has next year (hope a factory is among them).

JudgeChuck · October 2019

Hi all, long time, no post, but still read the forum every day!

Anyway, is there any indication yet whether LEGO are going to continue the City Space sets next year, with another line, or was that just a one-off?

I've really enjoyed this sub-theme and just need to acquire #60229 Rocket Assembly &Transport and #40345 Mars Exploration Minifigure Pack to complete the current line-up.

HugeYellowBrick · October 2019

MODULAR!

Is there speculation of this years Bricktober? Will this be continued?

The city space sub theme will almost certainly be one and done like Arctic and volcano explorers etc before it. I'm still waiting for a good bargain before jumping in but I really want the launch center.

pxchris · October 2019

I too have been really loving the space sub-theme as a whole! I grabbed most of the smaller sets already at the standard 20% off. I'll likely #60226 soon-ish and then will maybe pick up #60227 later.

Honestly though, neither of the two big sets have really impressed me (the rockets, while large are primarily bland and empty) enough to give serious thought to buying them yet. Out of the two I like #60228 more though, so I might grab that one at a large discount.

dmcc0 · October 2019

Amazon in the UK has had a couple of the smaller space sets at 40% off recently. Haven't bought much non-technic or Starwars for a long time, but these are pretty cool and have picked up a couple.

JudgeChuck · October 2019

I picked up the #60227 and #60228 at a good discount (33%+) from Amazon, so just looking for a good-ish discount on #60229, if I can find it, otherwise I may use some VIP points up.

If, as you say @Bumblepants this is a one-off, that's fine by me.

I actually really like the look of the rocket in #60229, not so much the one in #60228, but the Command Centre looks really good and I'm looking forward to building it (and putting my mobile phone in, with the dedicated app running!)

I hope at least one or two sets are released, maybe LEGO saw how popular these were unlike the other sets.

Lordmoral · October 2019

You can add: https://brickset.com/sets/21320-1 to my list eventually, it changed a lot from the original submission but it looks awesome.

khmellymel · October 2019

^ sigh, me too.

MaffyD · October 2019

So, to update the post I made back in July, now it's after my birthday...

Un-Unbought:

#21044 Paris Architecture - Skylines (I thought I had bought this, but then I couldn't find it, so I thought I imagined getting it. After looking for something else, I found it again! So I did buy it after all - I would've felt stupid having 2)

Bought since July:

#76124 : War Machine Buster
#76125 : Iron Man Hall of Armour
#75243 : Slave I – 20th Anniversary Edition
#75895 : 1974 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.0

Taken off:

#10269 : I don't want a motorbike
#71044 : I'm not a Disney collector (despite what my superhero sets might indicate)
#75246 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75248 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75249 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75250 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75254 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75255 : Not OT SW spaceship
#75256 : Not OT SW spaceship

Still definitely want (with additions):

#60228 : Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control
#60229 : Rocket Assembly & Transport
#10265 : Ford Mustang
#10267 : Gingerbread House
#21045 : Trafalgar Square
#31096 : Twin-Rotor Helicopter
#40353 : Reindeer, Elf & Elfie
#70842 : Emmet's Triple-Decker Couch Mech
#76119 : Batmobile: Pursuit of The Joker
#76139 : {Batvehicle D2C set}
#76144 : Hulk Helicopter Drop (but that's a 2020 set, isn't it?)
#75257 : Millenium Falcon - the best non-UCS Falcon in quite a few years

Still might want (with additions):

#75252 : Imperial Star Destroyer - This is very much a 'wait and see how I feel' purchase, because it's very expensive and I have the previous one and just how much do I want another big wedge of grey? I haven't even built the old one.

I've also added a few more maybes to the pile, but they're not essential...

So I'm definitely getting there. Now I wonder how my 2018 list has progressed...

Lordmoral · October 2019

I can't believe I am about to say this but I may buy another LEGO SW set from the Sequel Trilogy (ST) if LEGO makes something that has been appering in trailers lately makes it to a set. For sure I will be purchasing the Raider AT-ST and Death Star Cannon sets as well anything good from Fallen Order (if they make them) for May the Fourth 2020.

Lordmoral · November 2019

Ok how is your addiction going? Brought lots of LEGO recently or just the ones your wallets permitted? Awesome, here is my update:
Brought last night:
-Shrimp Shack Attack (Hidden Side) to complement the IdeaDEAS Old Fishing Store and the Hidden Side Shrimp Boat;
-IDEAS Dinosaur Fossils (big dino fan);
-x12 dark grey BURPS to complete a MOC;
-GWP Reindeer Ornament.
To buy:
-JW (Barnionyx and Triceraptos sets);
-Stark Private Jet;
-Hidden Side School for pieces to make my own school.

Speedman29 · November 2019

Speedman29 said:

Some interesting and some meh! sets for 2019. Nothing really grabs me from the SW range apart from the microfighters and then there is only three sets (down from four this year, is it the end of the MF range?).
City looks to be pretty limited as well, I'm not into emergency services, so just the harvester lorry and the snow mobile. Speed Champions Senna, Nascar and Mini look good. TLM2 sets are lacking something for me, but once I've seen the film I may change my mind.
This years modular did nothing for me, the style and colour didn't really fit with the look of my street, so next years will have to be special to be bought.

Could be a cheap year all round!

Looking back after almost 12 months. I did complete the Microfighters collection, got a couple of SC and City sets and a few TLM2 sets.

Lunar Lander was an unexpected purchase and I may add Saturn V to that before the year is out.

Not as cheap a year as I thought!

It's always a: "Not as cheap a year as I thpught!" Year.

JudgeChuck · November 2019

I still definitely need #21155 The Creeper Mine and will very likely also get #21320 Dinosaur Fossils.
I'm on the fence with #10267 Gingerbread House at the moment. Although it looks great, it's "Winter Fantasy" and not "Winter Village" and I already have Santa's Workshop.

MaffyD · November 2019

So, to update the post I made back in October, now it's after err... another few weeks...?

Bought since October:

#31096 : Twin-Rotor Helicopter

Taken off:

#76144 : Hulk Helicopter Drop (only because it's a 2020 set)

Still definitely want (with additions):

#60228 : Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control
#60229 : Rocket Assembly & Transport
#10265 : Ford Mustang
#10267 : Gingerbread House
#21045 : Trafalgar Square
#40353 : Reindeer, Elf & Elfie
#70842 : Emmet's Triple-Decker Couch Mech
#76139 : 1989 Batmobile
#40433 : 1989 Batmobile (well, that's not confusing is it?)
#40337 : Gingerbread House (again, totally not confusing)
#40338 : Christmas Tree
#75257 : Millenium Falcon - the best non-UCS Falcon in quite a few years

Still might want (with additions):

#76119 : Batmobile: Pursuit of The Joker - with the two new Batmobiles just launched, not sure I need a third...
#75252 : Imperial Star Destroyer - This is very much a 'wait and see how I feel' purchase, because it's very expensive and I have the previous one and just how much do I want another big wedge of grey? I haven't even built the old one.

Now I need to be careful, as the 2019 Brickset Secret Santa is running, and I don't wish to make my Santa's job any harder!

Lordmoral · November 2019

^ "#76139 : 1989 Batmobile
#40433 : 1989 Batmobile (well, that's not confusing is it?)", eh one is the UCS type right? Of the UCS sets I am saving my cash for the big one: UCS Millenium Falcon (my name is: Luis E Morales Falcon so that ship holds a special place in my family). I have the cash but that is for emergencies.

MaffyD · November 2019

^ Yep, the 76139 one is the UCS version. I'm joking about how the names of the sets are identical: the number isn't exactly easy to remember unless you're familiar with them, and the images (either from a distance or at low quality) are fairly similar too, as they are of the same source material.

I remember back in the day when the UCS Slave I came out, and there were people trying to sell the much smaller version for the same price as the UCS because they looked the same from a non-expert eye. I expect there might be similar issues here, but seeing as the small one is a GWP, it won't be quite as bad.

Bet you anything that someone will try to sell #76119 as either the GWP or as the big one, just to see if they can...

Lordmoral · November 2019

Lordmoral · November 2019

Well the Hidden Side theme continues and I am personally interested just in the lighthouse but I'll make my own:

MaffyD · November 2019

*sigh* Well, I suppose you should be careful what you wish for...

Ever since the Speed Champions line was introduced, I imagined how great it would be for Lamborghini to get in on the act. Now, nearly 5 years later I finally get my wish with #76899 : Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo EVO & Urus ST-X. And half the set is ugly as sin. That Urus is so so awful to look at. I can't believe that I'll need to have that in my collection just to have the first Lego Lamborghini SC set. Dear god.

So, it's on my wishlist for 2020. But they had better do something better later in the year. Why on earth they didn't do the Countach I will never understand - it's angles and aggressive styling are perfect for Lego. Maybe that's why - they know that every Lambo fan will get that one, but the first, to pull them in, can include a shitty SUV.

Apologies for the swearing, but I am really annoyed that this set has that green mess in it.

If there is something I learned, you can get it on sale and then use the parts for something else. Time for those VIP points to be used.

Snizzlebutts · November 2019

There is new Harry Potter? Damn, was hoping to collect the rest of Hidden Side from this year and next and then the two new Chinese sets. Lots of stuff to buy now.

Lordmoral · November 2019

Well the first part of City gets officially revealed (check your wallets):

Why are we back to no doors on vehicles? It's starting to feel like the late 90s/early 00s again and I don't like that.

I saw that but have you seen the Bulldog and Owl figures?!?!?! Not gonna buy the Police Station just for that dog but I am so tempted to get my mother the owl set.

Lordmoral · November 2019

I'm really looking forward to the new Ninjago buildings. Tons of great Minifigures and parts for filling out Ninjago City

eMJeeNL · November 2019

I love the Creator monsterburgertruck and minimodular! also, the owl and dog are great, but the rest of the unveiled Cityline really doesn’t float my boat. Have seen a junglestyle set too, that is great!

Yeah, I'll see if I can get the owl piece on Bricks & Pieces. I'm not gonna buy a set just to get it.

I am with you, I am only interested in those sets because of the animal molds but that Monster Burger Truck is awesome yet not for me, I am waiting for official pictures of that jungle set to see if it is worthy to gift my dad.

Indeed, thanks for that tip.

Lordmoral · November 2019

As of this writing more 2020 SW sets (other than Ben Hut which is on.my sights and Luke Speeder) but until Brickset posts them (they have more Speed Champions sets so.if you want to put a link here it would be welcomed) I won't do so to avoid Mouse problems. If Brickset legally posts them and I am not here you can do so as well.

Lordmoral · November 2019

Well Friend sets have been revealed by Brickset and they looks good (another Hospital but not for me as I have all that I need so my wallet is happy):

https://brickset.com/article/47033/2020-friends-sets-unveiled!

Lordmoral · November 2019

Trolls sets (thise pods look to make good hot air balloons), what ypu get when you mix Trolls and Infinity War:

More Ninjago sets revealed. That Black Dragon looks great as those Arcade machines, anyone who is seeking to create an Arcade MOC should check these out (those bars on top of characters are health bars):

Lordmoral · November 2019

2020 STAR WARS PARTIAL LINE:

I love the Bantha but not getting the set just for that awesome build, Obi Wan Hut yes, (x2 2019 sets AT-ST Raider and Death Star Cannon), might check the Mandalorian BP but my wallet is saying: "Thank you" for now. Still no: Rogue One: Imperial Cargo Shuttle, Rebels Imp Troop Transport (not the BP one), Tie Reaper (from both Jedi Fallen Order and RO), the Mantis (Jedi FO), new non UCS Imperial era Star Destroyer, new AT-AT, a Tie Bomber from the OT.

https://brickset.com/article/47054/2020-star-wars-set-images!

Snizzlebutts · November 2019

Looking forward to Tokyo in the Architecture series.

Lordmoral · November 2019

Bulldozer Construction, Ice Cream Truck and Safari Adventure (a gift to my pops). After seeing the Marvel pictures my wallet is happy.

Not into this line but maybe I should.
