bloodysabbath posted:Finished building the classic Jurassic Park set. For what it is, they packed a lot of cool stuff into it, but now I want an entire line from the first movie. A D2C seems like something AFOLs would buy the crap out of, any chance we’ll see this or are they playing it more conservative these days with the recent losses? There’s a rumor of the visitor’s center as a d2c set

If anyone in wants it, I don't mind shipping to wherever just covering shipping and its price (£4). Its this one: I'll have one, save me trying to find a tesco selling them.

The Creator sets seem to me like underappreciated gems. They are always really well thought out and have tons of useful bricks. Also they are priced amazingly well. Just waiting on a Creator 3-in-1 castle or something as it seems like a new Castle theme (not Nexo Knights) is a long way off.

There are retired 3-in-1 sets that I would buy ten each of, they are such great parts packs. 31050 Corner Deli, 31026 Bike Shop, and 31036 Toy and Grocery are all so so good. I've said it before, but Lego could do a $300 4000 piece 3-in-1 modular and a significant percentage of the people who buy every modular would buy three. Scipiotik posted:3 in 1 castle seems like such a no-brainer. A 3-in-1 Castle at $150 price point would be instant buy as well. They need to branch out from the same retread 3-in-1 helicopter/airplane/boat/car/dinosaur/robot. Not that they shouldn't have those, but maybe not every year.

Both a small-ish Pirate Rollercoaster as well as a seemingly gigantic Rollercoaster in the same year? Color me skeptical. Hoping im wrong, i particularly want that big one since i have all the other theme park sets and they look like great play sets to use with the kids.

What creator 3-in-1 is now is basically what I got into lego for a long time ago--cool stuff to build a giant city with. The City line itself is now just either cops or firefighters, and assorted vehicles.

Wait, I thought they were the same rollercoaster. It does seem weird to do two in one year.

The_Doctor posted:Wait, I thought they were the same rollercoaster. It does seem weird to do two in one year. Well, one is retailing at 90 bucks and the other is rumored near 400. If you're going to spend the money to develop new track pieces might as well use it. Pirate one is already searchable on Walmart btw, so it's coming for sure. And Lego made people take down images of the other so I'd say that locks it in as well.

That was the first set to have the new track and I think it’s been out since December? I think there’s also a friends set with it now, and the pirate one is the regular creator and then that recent leak is going to be the creator expert version to go with the other fun fair stuff.

Found the leaked pic, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/8cvoqi/rollercoaster/ It does look ridiculously huge. edit: I estimate 35-40cm high, 40-50cm long and 25-30cm wide. MaliciousOnion fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Apr 20, 2018 |

48x96 studs is the estimate. So yes. Giant.

Note that it's not just piece count and weight, either. Certain pieces really jack up the pricing. Unibody (floating) boat hulls are some of the most expensive pieces outside of power functions, so a 150-piece boat can easily run $30. Plane cockpits, wings, and tails, big uncommon panels, probably things like roller coast tracks. That launch center from a few years ago was $120 and only like 630 pieces, largely (presumably) because of stuff like that. I could easily see a set with dozens of track pieces going for $100 more than the $.1/piece 'standard'.

Trains and especially monorail are pretty bad for that too. 6991 for example was US$180 (in 1994!) for 573 pieces.

Why didn't they ever make a regular straight piece of narrow gauge track?! Kept waiting for it but it never came.

Lego can't figure out trains. There is a really high barrier to doing moc trains (as I am currently finding out).

Fans have figured out trains because if you ever go to a brick convention like 1/3 the floor is gonna be consumed by train layouts. Some of them won't even bother with building a scene, they're just gonna lay out some segments of track and plop their favorite real world recreation on it and stand around looking smug all weekend.
