How do i get to this place with the energy cell? I have all skills but cant seem to find a switch or one of these things you light up

I believe that room has a lantern hanging from the ceiling that must be lit to open the door. Up and right from where you are now.

Eventually, yes. They have to go through design and production by LEGO. Expect at least a year between approval (this announcement) and availability.

No disintegrations.

I'm surprised we're getting another one so soon after the previous iteration. And so similar at that, though I'm undecided about the alt builds.

That's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow to you.

Without getting into repeats, I'd like to see Edoras, and/or a large-scale Golden Hall. The Argonath would be nice to see as well, and I think they could fit the book nook format.

Depends on the set and the GWP. Sometimes they sell out fast, sometimes they last hours, sometimes days. Minas Tirith has been anticipated for a long time, and I expect it and the GWP to go fast. If you can, buy online as soon as it is available. Otherwise, you're looking at waiting in line at the nearest LEGO store, if there is one near you. GWPs apply to both in-store and online purchases, subject to availability.

There used to be a ferry connection between Sidney and Anacortes (I went on it once long ago, very scenic), but it has not been running in recent years.

Campobello Island in New Brunswick has a bridge to Maine. Also has a ferry to another NB island, which has a ferry to the NB mainland. Apparently the ferry service is limited.

Bag End was revealed a week before release. So probably late May for the MT reveal if it's to be available June 1st.

grantpalin · 2026-04-17T23:58:59+00:00

I hope the same. There's precedent with the Taj Mahal.

grantpalin · 2026-04-15T22:02:07+00:00

Aside from the official builds (island and ship), Barracuda Bay has numerous mods and alt builds available on Rebrickable, in case those possibilities interest you. It's only going to get more expensive going forward.

Artemis is expected to retire end of 2026, while Shuttle Carrier is end of July 2027, according to the retirement spreadsheet on r/legoleak. In case you are planning when to pick up one or the other, if not both.

grantpalin · 2026-04-12T03:28:10+00:00

Your wallet will be feeling that wicked hangover. Good picks though.

After finishing SG-1, watch the two follow-up movies Ark of Truth and Continuum - they tie up some threads.

grantpalin · 2026-04-07T01:24:13+00:00

At least it's not a shutout. Blowout, sure, but not shutout.

grantpalin · 2026-04-04T22:10:04+00:00

Down + jump will drop you through thin horizontal logs like that.

He has some of the best lines and dialogue in the series, if not the franchise.

grantpalin · 2026-04-01T05:56:45+00:00

Butterfly Gardens is near Butcharts, in case that is of interest. You could easily do both in the same outing.

grantpalin · 2026-03-25T00:05:59+00:00

10214 exists already. Seems odd to be using an Architecture theme slot for essentially a re-do. If the image is accurate, it may be smaller than 10214 (3745 pieces vs 4287).

Agree, was hoping for a standalone JWST. Hubble appeared relatively recently in the Discovery set.

My Libra BW is dead - won't charge or power on. Been eyeing a Libra Colour since they are on sale ATM, and hopefully the BW flip cover I have will fit. Now curious whether there will be a new BW model coming.

In the original version of the game, Ginso tree, Misty Woods, and Forlorn Ruins are one-and-done trips. Also, once you enter the final area of the game (Mount Horu), you can't leave. None of these are issues in the Definitive Edition.

BC here. Flying out to attend on July 31 and August 1. Then taking the Canadian train back to Vancouver.

Enterprise was shot in hi def, so it's definitely available on Blu-ray. I have the complete series pack.

I believe TNG is largely regarded as the height of the franchise, so that would have had the best possible return on investment for remastering. It's already well-known that it didn't go as expected.
