Not surprising really with the on going sale, they must be severely overloaded.

Hopefully it'll arrive soon for you!

I think there is a problem with theirs tracking system.

At the moment we are in the same boat. Slave I ordered 29th stuck in Koln, but my previous order was shown Koln in tracking system same day when was delivered.

Lest hope we got our stuff very soon.

I've always found their tracking information to be absolutely hopeless. I don't even pay attention to it anymore.

It's only the second order I placed but I agree. It's a case of not paying attention to it anymore. Only reason for concern was if someone was there for delivery

wench

I usually find this tracker better

Whilst many of the Star Wars sets are really great (including the amazing Death Star:D) I consider them outrageously expensive for what you get.

The same goes for the Superheroes range. €25+ for what amounts to a couple of mini figs and a small vehicle.

I think the Creator sets are the best value. And I'm happy with that as these are my favourite!

I miss the old space Lego. As a kid back in the 1980s the flagship spaceships were an absolute dream.:)

Licenced sets are always dear. Non licenced sets are vastly cheaper in purchasing power parity terms than in the 80s

Does anyone else have their collection on brickset.com? I'd just be curious to see what other boardsies have, maybe between all of us we've some cool or rare stuff. Going off the number on brickset who've said they own it, the 'rarest' set I have is a minifig headgear pack from 1997. I got it and 9293 Community Workers for Christmas when I was about 8 or 9. My favourite owned set however is 6285 Black Seas Barracuda, can't beat a classic pirate ship imo.

Here's mine if anyone is interested: https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-Conchir

Here's me: https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-Steve_J_OM

Though I collect minifigures outside of sets, too, so that isn't the whole collection. For example, I wanted most of The LEGO Batman Movie minifigs but not all of the sets, so I have them collected loose (bought from BL). Just waiting for the summer wave to hit to finish the collection.

Rhyme

Had started to put mine together a while back but never got around to finishing it. I sell and buy sets quite often so once I get the list done, I'd need to update it occasionally

https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-cofaigh

Would love to put my minifigures in it as well, especially the giant collection of red-haired minifigures I've been giving to my (red-haired) fiancé. Can't pick a favourite as it changes when I take up a project. Currently loving the Farnsworth House.

Sleepy

Only got back into Lego in the last few years and have had to resist the temptation to add my young fella's sets to "my" collection since he has some really cool stuff (death star, millenium falcon, bat tumbler, etc.)

I had the same issue, you need to edit your profile and down the bottom of the edit page is a checkbox to allow others see them.

Here's mine, I think it's pretty complete apart from some smaller sets I haven't included https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-ninjat

Unreal, it was around the time of Jurassic Park 3 was out, that entire Dino Island series was great!

Theres an interesting selection in all of our lists, I'm impressed by how many 'old' sets there are in there

Greg81

Nice collection guys. Here is mine.

Mines in a bad way - heavily played with by me in the 80s, and my daughters in the last few years. The stickers are fade, peeling and all still there, but showing it's age.

Those 80s stickers are quite robust. Much more so than the stuff in the 00s. I've lost very few. That one was only lost recently when my 3 year old found the box of 80s sets. It'd be fine if it wasn't a STAMP. Printed elements on the doors for the fire engine have faded away there.

Jacovs

Was in smyths today, they have the new wave lego batman movie sets out already, but not listed on their website yet, and lego store only has it as coming soon.
Saw 70917 and 70915 there on the shelves.

Three Star Wars the Last Jedi sets have leaked online, pics are available. If you do a bit of searching, you'll find them. Honestly the minifigure lineups are a bit lacklustre, a lot of nameless characters in there, although there is one much anticipated character there. 4 more sets are yet to leak/be released. They aren't official images, so I'm not going to post them here.

75188: Resistance Bomber - €110
New republic vehicle, seen at the end of the teaser trailer. Has blue detailing. Includes 2 rebel pilot types, Poe Dameron in jumpsuit, Admiral Holdo and a character called Paige who is Rose's sister. This character is a Bomber.

75189: First Order Heavy Assault Walker - €140
Very similar to an AT-AT. Front legs thicker than back legs. "Head" design has an exaggerated chin. The walker's inspiration is a gorilla. Has a lot of exposed studs. Includes Rey with lightsaber in new outfit, Captain Poe Dameron, Resistance Trooper, First Order Walker Pilot, FO stormtrooper.

75190: First Order Star Destroyer - €150
Very reminiscent of a galactic empire star destroyer. Like the walker it has a lot of exposed studs, but it works better here. Design features stud shooters. Looks short. Includes (wait for it) a first order officer, First Order shuttle pilot, FO stormtrooper, FO stormtrooper sergeant, a black BB unit and Supreme leader Snoke! He is wearing a gold robe and his face print looks a little off honestly, but maybe that's just the image quality. It's a regular sized minifigure.

shotgunmcos

Thanks. I was going to post similar earlier.

I was underwhelmed by the summer wave and will pick up maybe 2 sets plus the BH battle pack.

The 3 pics of the last jedi big sets are better. Yes lots of the minifigs are generic but I'm sure once we have the context of the actual film it will mean more. As a Johnny come lately AFOL who missed everything since the 1980s I'm delighted that a type of AT AT, Destroyer and probable UCS MF could be mine this year!

If Snoke is supposed to be much taller than Kylo Ren then I'm suprised they haven't just put a couple of 1x1 bricks or half bricks under his feet to give that impression.

The standout best thing about the summer wave was getting real characters in smaller packs. Maybe we will score some good ones in the lower priced sets yet to be revealed? The new older Luke for example and new versions of Kylo Ren, Plasma unmasked, Finn, Leia, other Jedi etc...

halloweenboy

I actually forgot to mention that Lego supposedly accidentaly revealed old man luke in a promo. It's basically what the character looked like ín TFA videogame, gondiggong online an you'll find it.m
