And it's a double points weekend on Lego too. But £100 cheaper on Amazon is serious discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be better business than paying the very high price for the set on Lego's official store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Or perhaps order it from Amazon but don't open it. See if the official Lego site reduces it in the New Year sale; if they do and it's better for you return the Amazon one, if not keep the Amazon one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I have thought of that. I'll have to see how funds are this weekend. It doesn't seem that it ever sells out anywhere, so I can always wait if I have to for the next discount on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowserBasher Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 So I ended up getting the Mighty Bowser set over the last week when there was a double points event on, haven't built that yet, but I got this out and built it as it's been a while it's just been sitting around not built. Really is one of the few of the Lego Mario sets that look good as a display set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowserBasher Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) I've not heard from any other sources and never heard of this site but Possible Animal Crossing sets coming. Quote LEGO releasing Animal Crossing sets next year The latest video game franchise to make its way over into the LEGO catalog is another popular series from Nintendo. Giving builders five different sets from the world of Animal Crossing, the new theme will be debuting next year in March of 2024. Here’s a breakdown of the new LEGO Animal Crossing sets: 77046: $14.99 | 170 pieces 77047: $19.99 | 164 pieces 77048: $29.99 | 223 pieces 77049: $39.99 | 389 pieces 77050: $74.99 | 535 pieces As of now, 9to5Toys doesn’t have all too much to share about what to expect from these sets. But we do know that the LEGO Group won’t be taking the same approach as the Super Mario collection. Those kits featuring everyone’s favorite Mushroom Kingdom hero have received a lot of flack for being centered around upscale, electronic renditions of Mario, Luigi, and company. Instead, the new LEGO Animal Crossing sets will actually be playscale creations. Being focused around actual minifigures mean that we should be getting the whole cast of characters you’d expect. Tom Nook and Isabell as all but confirmed, and we’ll like see one or two different Villager designs make the cut. We do know that each of these characters will rely on molded head pieces, similar to what we just saw from the LEGO Sonic collection. If this is true I expect the biggest set to be Nooks store, then possibly your house. The smaller sets I imagine will be based on characters with small scenery. OK a few other sites are starting to post the same thing. Although they all say the same thing. No one has solid proof and it's just from leakers.

Grazza Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Animal Crossing Lego could be absolute genius. Imagine having a house you could kit out with Sleek furniture, or turn it into a pirate ship theme with the Gullivarrr theming. Or a museum where you could recreate the dinosaur fossils. Everything about the game lends itself to model making and escapism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well go the extra mile and make Crocodile villagers rarer then Gold Dust. But yeah, this is an obvious series for Lego to expand to after Mario. Animal Crossing is stupid big now, and the customisation the game is known for lends itself very well to Lego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nook gives you a loan with no background check, 0% interest with no deadline. Upgrades are done in a timely manner.

BowserBasher Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I've not been getting the Mario sets as much now (I think they've just gone way too many too fast and not all are ass fun) but I am picking up a few that are better suited as standalone sets and not the build a stage set. As such I picked up the Bowser Car set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
