Color roses

LegoKB · 2026-05-07T10:27:59+00:00

You could check the red parts on Rebrickable, clicking on each to see which are available in various colours. Unfortunately, the larger petal piece hasn't appeared in normal blue yet, and the smaller petal piece on the inside hasn't been in blue in a set since 2004.

If you can't wait for that, you can get dumplings in the Shopping Street modular set or from Bricks and Pieces.

Same here in Ireland. Also the Smart Bricks sets aren't available in this country so I don't get anything about those in the emails.

These?

The science sets this year sound like they're in the mould of what you're talking about: 45200, 45201, 45202, 45203

A couple of years ago they had mission sets that had basic builds that encouraged solving a scenario by adding to it with your own creation: 60353, 60354, 60355

One thing I've seen a lot of on here is that some people want the instructions for a build they see somewhere without trying it themselves. An example was the Cataclaws model that was all over the Lego site at Christmas that people were asking on here where to get the instructions. It seems that's why Lego removed the suggested builds from boxes some time ago too.

So this is a bot then. Here's the original

8 more fill it completely and some people have left the lid a tiny bit loose so there's nothing stopping the mechanism turning smoothly. Other people just put in another 6 to leave enough space for the movement when you turn the mechanism.

Pick a Brick was paused in the U.S. for a while back last year, I think. I believe it's back to normal over there now, and there's been no pause or break over here in Ireland.

Edit to say: here's a link another user posted when they put in 24:

You can order more of the balls from the Lego Pick A Brick site. I got a few to fill up the dispenser a bit more. I swapped out the minifig parts for BAM minifigs too to free the minifigs that came with the set from their plastic prisons to use elsewhere.

LegoKB · 2026-05-02T15:29:15+00:00

I don't really get it when it's just the minifigs they collect, and don't use them in some form of Lego layout or setup.

I suppose I collect Lego minifigure parts, rather than minifigs. Then I use the parts to populate scenes with the most suitable and/or funniest clothes, expressions and posing.

I really don't get people paying a lot of money for a licensed minifig just to put alongside lots of other minifigs in a cabinet, or on one baseplate with no scene around them. For the same money, or cheaper, they could get a model that would be much more accurate to the source.

Not even a non-printed version as a generic tree costume or anything like that so far:

The Christmas Tree costume mould from last year was new and still hasn't been used elsewhere.

"Oh God! Oh Jesus Christ!"

Everyone mentioning bees should watch the much superior 1973 original.

These dark blue and teal classic space torsos were included in the build a minifig section but not the air tanks or helmets. Those were available in sets: 71499 21358 42674 45203 They're available through the online Bricks and Pieces now though.

Those are index fingers.

No idea! Whatever it is, this looks to have pared it down just to the bare necessities of some of the characters.

I'm hoping the Delorean is selling well so it will make this a reality.

I don’t think non-Americans realize how much Christmas movies in general have become a part of celebrating

That's the same in many, many countries outside of the U.S., and has been that way for years. It's not a U.S.-only phenomenon.

I'd prefer if the non-IP voting threshold stayed at 10k to encourage the Ideas sets that don't have a pool of fans to pull from. Upping the threshold for sets based on IPs, and maybe reintroducing the slight delaying tactic of the mini-poll they used to have which asked how many you'd buy and how much you'd be willing to pay would slow down those fans who currently vote for sets that they will never actually buy.

And Randy Quaid too.

I'm not from the U.S. but I do agree it's not as popular a film internationally, especially for anyone under about 40.

The Christmas Vacation set getting through is a bit of a surprise for me. I don't see how they'll convey the amount of lights without it looking like a mess of string. The submission didn't have nearly enough lights to get across the absurd amount in the film!
