From what I know nothing has changed in regards to the availability of this set
(and the following VIP "Add On" sets). So it is still a test product only available
to selected VIP members in the UK. But it does exist and many are for sale on
Ebay, so there is no reason why it should not have an entry on BL.

They have been doing the trials in the UK but no word yet whether this one or
others will be more widespread.
Even if it remains as a UK only trial, it is a valid LEGO product (like any regional
item such as bricktober or comic con) so not surprising it is in the catalogue.

buy them.

If you’re asking if all four were sold under a different set number I do not
know. This helps explain why I have so many extra minifigs from this era.
I know I had 6803, 6823 and 6842, but that last one doesn’t look familiar at
all. I distinctly remember 6823 because it was the first time I’d gotten that
“box”, the swivel and those “lunar tires”. For 8-year-old me this was a huge
advancement over the older sets I had which were mostly red, blue, yellow and
white 2x4 bricks.

It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds. Mega has only ever released
Sesame Street stuff for the youngest target audience, so I'd guess that they
never held the license for minifig-scale stuff. They used to sell a number of
Disney Princess sets in that larger scale, too, even when LEGO had its own license.
And of course Mega still carried the license for Sony's Spider-Man films,
even after losing the MCU license.
It's a weird and cyclical and overlapping and redundant world sometimes!

The one Sesame Street set is not intended for little kids. It is intended for

It doesn't look like a set a small child can build, even those who are ready

As others have said, LEGO has never had the license. It could be that they do
now and are making plans. Or it could be that they only got limited license
for an adult collectible.

Dora the Explorer is another one where MEGA first had the license and then LEGO
got it. I have sets from both.
The MEGA set came with some really cool track pieces, that line up really well
with the LEGO DUPLO brick runner track pieces, which align well with regular
DUPLO bricks.

Yeah... interscaleability has been a problem for lego always. E.g. the very first
"brick people" were approximately 8 cm high but the doors about 2 cm! The old
figures, minifigures, duplo figures, fabuland, jack jones, you name it their
scale does not match. There are probably a lot more examples.
|
I really like the Fabuland scale. The older Mickey Mouse sets were Fabuland
scale, so I built my Disneyland Fire station to that scale, to go with the Fire
Fighter Mickey Mouse figure. Then after I built to that scale LEGO came out
with Mickey Mouse (and friends) in regular LEGO scale (and Duplo scale).

It's an IDEAS set. There would have been outrage if they took a system based

| Hope to see a Le Mans inspirered car in the near future. It would be a great
way to celebrate that the 100 year anniversary of the famous race is coming up.
Also it could put focus on electrical cars which will be introduced as a class
for itself in Le Mans.

I would love to see something like this. I really hope they will make a car a

Good, now I want a moose that isn't brick-built.
Preferably with a detachable head like the raptors so you can mount it on the

I gotta believe that it would be extremely well-received and eagerly anticipated
if announced. Can’t think of any obvious hindrances in producing it either, considering
several Disney-held IP’s and Brands have been among LEGO lineups for sometime,
including SW. In other words, there’s history and a track-record.
I’d wager such a product would shatter a few TLG sales records. Kinda seems like
a Lego no-brainer, albeit without knowing details. You’re left wondering, when
considering that The Collectible Minifigure Series has been a boon to LEGO sales
since it’s introduction over a decade ago (hope that ideas-guy/gal got their
deserved promotion) and since then many themes and ideas have been utilized,
yet no Star Wars?
Could it be the marketing folks of TLG, weighing the strengths of products such
as the periodic sales-incentivizing SW minifig polybag and the extremely popular,
recurring SW advent calendar, against flooding that market-space with the far
less costly Collectible Minifigure?
Or maybe it’s the concern that adding SW to the Collectible Minifigure Series
product line would potentially weaken SW set sales, that’s viewed as unwarranted
and deemed unacceptable? After all, if being candid, without the pull of the
characters of that iconic theme offered through the immensely popular “minifig”,
I honestly don’t believe Star Wars would be a viable product line for TLG today,
much less a blockbuster sales/revenue source. In other words, don’t risk sickening
the gold-egg-laying goose with loads of low-cost and perhaps more exciting new
SW minifigs?
Then there’s the limited number of available popularized-through-movie characters
to use. In which case, they could make a classic version instead of contemporary
or new characters? Maybe do a single run. An actual limited edition, not the
“Limited Edition” Lego of the 2000s
Just some curiosity-spawned erratic thoughts, born of an idiosyncratic attempt
to avoid tasks at hand. In other words, nonsensical to some… So then why write
it out? Hey, it’s cheaper than therapy!

I personally, as a Star Wars fan, would love some Lego Star Wars CMF series.

I think you are over medicated
|
Says the drug peddler (pharmacist)
Although seeking excuses seems more n’more the way to live one’s life, I can’t
use that one. Haven’t “medicated” in years, beyond the occasional aspirin my
daughter pushes on me. No longer even what’s prescribed for the brain injury
I sustained as a young man overseas.
“Clear your mind, your ass will follow” Not always easy, but well worth doing.
Sadly Kevin, this is the unadulterated me, scrambled brains and all
Ever your friend,
Cory

| I have heard this issue before but that would not explain poly bags like this:
This poly bag was officially sold by TLG and was just one minifig. This would
violate that Hasbro issue if true? Idk
I would love a SW CMF series and I hope the MCU CMF does well in sales so it
will give TLG motivate to make a new series for SW. Especially since all these
new Disney+ SW shows are coming out in 2022! It would be a perfect run off of
the MCU Disney+ shows CMF!

Hasbro has aggressively defended their right to be the only seller of Star Wars
action figures. That's why the battle packs have to include some sort of
vehicle.

Each to their own, but to me this is one of those sets that you should not judge

Yeah, but when you have a competition with a relative as to who has the biggest

Anyhow, I did one of the smaller mosaics and really enjoyed it, I think a map
