Latest sets to be approved according to Lego's Instagram..

McCallister House from Home Alone

Seinfeld 30th Anniversary set

Typewriter

I like the typewriter, that's pretty cool.. The Home Alone house I guess will be good if there's working traps etc.

The Seinfeld set I don't really get.. It just doesn't look particularly interesting. I'm really surpised it got approved when the (IMO) much more interesting US Office gets its target and gets rejected..

The house and the Seinfeld thing are both terrible. Like the typewriter though.

Currently working on my first decent size MOC build which will hopefully be displayed at various events next year as part of a huge collaborative display of many big pirate themed islands.

It's fun and creative but all too easy to spend a lot on bricklink constantly adding more to it. Still have many months before it'll be seen anywhere so will likely make a lot of changes and possibly do another totally different one!

Experimenting with the jungle foliage mostly at the moment, hard to make it look dense but not too random and messy.

Just a heads up about Amazon orders.... I've had a couple of sets delivered yesterday and today in plastic bags only which has made a mess of the boxes. First time this has happened with stuff from Amazon.

Brilliant!

In other news I ordered the crocodile train this morning and got a free Lamborghini kit and a 12 in 1 kit. Really wanted the free train if going to the Lego store but still trying to avoid heading into the city centre with all this covid still hanging around.
Free train?
It's this, but throughout July not March like it says there, and in store only now.

I've had a couple from them where they've literally just put the address label directly on the Lego box!

Was that from Amazon direct or from another vendor though?

Yep direct from Amazon, typically the bigger sets too!

Sometimes you can catch it before ordering as it'll say something like 'this will be delivered in packaging that makes clear what will be inside'.

If you tick “this is a gift” they will overbox it.

Good info. Do you have to pay extra for that ?
