P.S. I'm speaking as a LEGO customer in American stores... I dunno what my European brethren have going on over there... in a recent review I saw they don't list piece count on the boxes for some reason in Europe. WTF?

Same in Asia so I guess most of the world except the US doesn't list the piece count. You don't memorize each set's details and ppp ratio before you go to the store or use your phone to price check online? I do that when I'm in the US anyway.

To be honest, I’m kind of disappointed that people would flagrantly disobey the “no photography” rule on the Star Wars sets. People get mad at LEGO for being heavy-handed with embargoes and no-photo rules, but frankly they’d probably be more cooperative if they didn’t expect us to undermine what rules they had in place. Just as an example, it’s probably a lot easier for LEGO to prohibit photos entirely like they do in London than to only prohibit photos in SOME parts of their booth and then have people with cameras trying to sneak photos of things they’ve been instructed not to share. LEGO has no choice but to be heavy-handed when they feel like we as a community will take advantage of their leniency.

When I went to New York Toy Fair back in 2012 I was told not to take photos of a few things, such as a calendar showing the LEGO Group’s ad campaign schedule, and I didn’t have any problem complying. Yet it feels like some people don’t have the same journalistic integrity and think they can win points with the community by being sneaky.

Personally, I don’t think the Brikwars forums should be sharing pictures that were taken against the LEGO Group’s specific instructions either. It just makes you guys look bad and isn’t much better than sharing retailer’s catalog photos, IMO. There are plenty of legitimate pictures from Nuremberg Toy Fair by Promobricks and Zusammengebaut you could share with those sites’ permission. No need to stoop to sharing photos from less reputable sources.

There are no “AFOLs” at these events — they’re industry-only events, as I understand it.

TBWF has and will continue to publish photos sourced elsewhere that are relevant and reliable — note the link to Brickset, who published the box photos.

Overwatch just copy pasted a comment from the Brothers Brick post. Also whether or not they're "industry only" events, these pictures are still getting intentionally leaked out into the fan community. And god dammit they're going to allow photography at other events, so it's not like it's a now or never thing.

All that aside, that Jakku set looks cool. I hope the Luggabeast is dark azure

@Topic:
Creator and Airport sets for those, who missed out:










From these, I like the Airshow Hangar and the VIP shuttle the most. The bear in the Creator set is adorable and would make a great addition to my cavalry forces.

Huh? Sorry, I just got up (long night, went out and helped some people that were involved in a car collision right outside my house - don't worry, no one was hurt), and I'm not quite getting the reference.

uh... i don't care? why would you go help random people who got hit by a car?

[RedRover]

Because it is a good thing to do?

The edge is strong with this one.

Wow, really, Nietzsche wannabe? Gee, hope you don't find yourself in that sort of situation someday, wishing someone would come along and help you out.

At least he likes black people.
