The current round of the Bricklink Designer Program is live right now. It slipped my mind!

They're one-third to half sold out, and it's an hour in. They upped the production to a maximum of 30,000 units each this time.

They have also increased the limit per household/account from 1 to 2 per set

Just a cool $400

Very cool looking! I don't think I'll get it but it is pretty tempting.

i stumbled across this last night - WOW!!

[DownInFlames]

A guy on Reddit leaked the new Artemis SLS set before it was even officially announced. Looks great.

Spoiler!

Mind you I also want the Eiffel Tower set but I mean where could I actually put it?? The Artemis one looks a much more reasonable size.

[Ironhorse]

Well there goes my entertainment budget...

[underGRADFlame]

Ordered my SLS this morning! My kids are going to love the free gift... https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/a...ce-diner-40687

I ordered Artemis as well.

I really enjoyed the Saturn 5 set as well, back a few years.

Hoping that this one is as good!

[flambers]

Yep, will need to order Artemis as well

Currently finishing Batman.,

Man, LEGO's killing my wallet lately. I finally picked up the Titanic, I've gotten the TIE Interceptor...and now I want the Artemis.


It's such a good problem to have!

Titanic was a fantastic build. I’m finishing the Eiffel Tower right now.

I was hoping Norte dame would be one of the massive Christmas time releases with 10,000 pieces. I’m not sure if I will get the current version.

I’ve really slowed down my Lego addiction due to costs and tbh a bit of a lack of personal interest in the recent releases.

Artemis proved to me that if it’s good, I’ll pre-buy. (Insert The Godfather meme - they pulled me back in!)

This is the thing with me, too. I have to have a good interest in the sets, not just "It's LEGO! Get it!"

I have most of their UCS Star Wars ships sets, for instance...but I didn't get the Venator, 'cause I never got into that series.

Thought I would ask what everyone’s favourite builds were. I’m definitely biased towards non repetitive ones. I am sure that’s the same for most people; it seems like a basic thing to say. But…

This started as our family Covid project which is why I feel that the list is a bit outrageous. I justify it by family time, mental health during Covid, and to restate, time spent together as my children get older. Each kit has its own memories for me personally with my children; I’m remembering that when I shudder to think of the cost.

Loved:

Both roller coasters.
Home alone
Hogwarts castle
Saturn v rocket
Diagon alley
Colosseum
Titanic
Lego city buildings

Good:
Tower bridge
Taj mahal
Eiffel Tower
Daily bugle
Space shuttle

Didn’t like:

None
