I just finished building it, as they included it when I picked up my latest build earlier this afternoon. Fun little build, more interesting than I thought it'd be.

Does Lego do just minifig orders? I'd love to order a few of those space minifigs and castle ones to replace a couple missing ones from my old sets.

I don't believe they do. You'll have to use something like https://www.bricklink.com

You can also go into the store and have a look. They have a massive bin full of minifig parts, and you can mix n'match. Dunno if they have any space men, but you could have a look.

They have pick a brick online as well if you want to see what sort of minifigure parts they have: https://www.lego.com/en-us/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick

But this along with Whitetigers suggestions will be modern pieces. If you truly want the figures that match the old sets you would need to do bricklink as ktrain suggested.

I think that the selection can be distracting if you are building in store from memory.

My recommendation would be to have a picture or two of what you hope to build. That way you get exactly the minifig parts that you want.

I still have some of my spaceman figs from my old 1980's sets, if you need a couple for that time period.
(I just have white & red, I believe)

Anyone buy the Loop Coaster?



With how psyched my kids have been about rides at Calaway & Stampede this year... it's tempting.

I built the other one that just got retired. This one is on my radar. Family build!

I have read that the elevator is very clever especially with the lego power.

1. That's beautiful and is gonna sell like the original.

2. Pretty sure that's more than the price of the original.

There is more to it than just the console.

Have you seen some of the price increases?

Even Costco isn’t immune. $50 on Daily Bugle, $90 increase on hogwarts, $100 increase on millennium falcon ucs.

If there’s another Covid lockdown family build cycle it’s going to hurt.

Should have picked up the daily bugle before the price increase. Now the discounts are pretty much going to get it down to pre August prices

Should be easy to print some decals to duplicate any of your favorites.

ET on Atari is infamous for how crappy it was.
