| Has there ever been a classic space minifig in light gray?
I keep seeing photos of it in MOCs and on sale on eBay but I could not find it
in the BL or BrickSet database.

Looks great! The panels and lines are so clean, it almost does not look like
it was built with Lego.
You should consider posting the instructions - this would sell well!

| | Very disappointed the seasonal calendar dudbt make the cut. I feel They may have
had a better chance if some things had been different. I dont want to use the
term rigged or unfair, but for 1 the Venetian house set got snuck in at the last
minute. Not sure if it would have made a difference if that set wasnt there and
it was the western set instead but theres no way of telling. 2. And this one
Im torn on because I ordered it. But apparently the Clockwork Aquarium set makers
were telling people that if they didnt log in they could order multple sets.
This is kinda shady. And with such a low price point it is definitely doable.
I feel the only way to make this right is to open it up for a sixth set. Let
the next set be made that reaches 3000.

I voted for the calendar and it was my top choice from the list. I understand
why some people don't like it, but I've wanted this from the time it
popped up on Ideas.
One thing I noticed was that this list appears to have had many expensive sets.
Perhaps those who would have ordered the calendar, already ordered the other
sets. Most people only ordered one this time around. Case in point, the Lego
Store modular sold out pretty quick.

if they don't end up in the top 5?

| | Why do some bricks (belonging to the same set, from the same bag) turn yellow
and others don't?
I recently bought an old SW set from ebay (#9500). It looks like the box was
damaged from improper storage but the bags were intact. This is an old set and
I was actually expecting everything to be somewhat yellowed.
When I opened the bags, some bricks of the same shape and color were "yellowed"
but others weren't! Given that it was a starship, it almost looks as if the
finished model was battle-damaged! LOL
It wasn't so much that plastic turns yellow over time that bothers me, but
that some apparently do not? I also happen to collect die cast models with plastic
parts, and in those cases, all plastic components turn yellow over time.
So it baffles me why 3 or 4 of the same brick within the same numbered bag yellowed
and others didn't? Is this merely because of uneven (heat?) exposure or because
they were from different batches in the factory (and therefore the older ones
turned yellow and the newer batches need more time)?
|
Glancing at the large image of 9500, I see no exposed white parts. Are they internal
structural bricks ? I've always been of the opinion that UV exposure can
cause white and blue bricks to change hue.
The other thing that jumps out at me is the issue year of 2012. I am aware that
LEGO had different ABS issues during that era (e.g. brittle dk red) so it may
well be that the parts in question came from different batches, and the ABS pellets
were different.
|
The set itself was unassembled. The individual bags were still sealed but the
box is gone even from the previous owner.
Just as an example, bag #1 contained two 1x2 inverted bricks. One was yellowed
and the other one not. It does not really bug me that all the light bluish gray
bricks are yellowed, but that one is and the other one isn't. I could not
put yellow components on opposite sides. LOL

| Item 40176 is a SW Scarif Stormtrooper in polybag, but it comes with a podium
that attaches to an adjacent one.
My question is whether this is supposed to be part of a particular collection
of minifigs where they are all in a podium, and can be attached together, the
same way the 20th anniversary minifigs are supposed to be displayed together.
I am a bit confused because this poly bag was included with other poly bag minifigs
that do not come with a podium. Further, there are about two or three more poly
bag minifigs with their respective podium but they do not appear to be in the
"same" series as this.
At the end of this all, was the podium just an experiment by Lego?

| It was 2306 Central Time when I hit "order" on the Lego web site. All the items
in my basket were still 'In stock.'
It took about 12+ hours before I got an email confirmation (usually it would
be immediate).
When I did receive it, Santa's Sleigh and the Disney Castle micro build were
already out of stock!
Crazy! In six or so minutes, their entire stock were wiped out!
