Boy we've been getting the good stuff these past few days, haven't we?
Thank you almighty Huwbot.
That's not My Dad!
Those flat baby hands are creeping me out.
My best wishes to anyone who had this as a child. I hope you managed to survive x
The mom looks away and the teddy bear comes to life and terrifies the kid...
More terrifying than the giant slime monster from yesterday.
Officer, please help me. I am an innocent bear. Teddy they call me, and I am being pursued by this creepo, maniacal child in a stroller. Help! Help! Help! Oh, no...
Why "swinging"? It doesn't appear to swing in any way. Maybe they just had to choose some adjective that started with the same letter?
Oh no. Oh god. Oh dear. It’s the Scala Baby. I repeat, we have a Scala Baby. Code Red, everybody, Scala Baby sighting, lock your doors and seal your windows. The Scala Baby is a true terror and it knows no mercy.
69 people own it

I choose to believe Sammy Davis Jr named this set.
“Hey, cat! That is one swinging stroller, babe!“
I would not think this is a Lego set if it wasn't posted here! wow.
This was a wild week of random sets.
Why the inventory doesn't match with Bricklink?
@brickengineeringdude:
Probably to do with a phrase that ends with "a dead cat".
Recent RSotD Death Match! Who wins?
Scala Baby (with tagteam teddy)
vs
Gorm Deluxe
Place your bets, bricksetters!
^ Scala Baby, not even close. Baby's the real villain. Gorm runs off crying like a baby.
That's it I'm never having kids.
Police man points his gun and says ‘hands up where I can see them’.
@CarolinaOnMyMind:
Gorm has two ranged attacks at his disposal. After that he has to close to melee range. I'd give the baby even odds against the Monty Python rabbit.
This is both SNOT (studs not on top) and SNOB (studs not on bottom). No studs anywhere!
Careful not to switch bodies with that bear, that would be bad
Those white wheels are interesting, could be cool.
That white stick isn't useless
No black at all. I guess the Blacktrons could use the baby as a weapon?

Almost, but it would appear there is a single stud on top of the umbrella. Take me not studless into that dark night, Baby Thomas
I actually do have one of those Scala babies, and honestly, they aren't as creepy as everyone says.
Bebe Nui was a cursed Rahi on Mata-Nui created by experiments performed by Makuta Gorast, that preyed on the dreams of sleeping Matoran. Only the Turaga could exorcise them from the minds of the Matoran via a ceremonial ritual performed at the various village Kini's through-out the island. When Mata-Nui was cleared by the Bohrok, the Bebe Nui immigrated to Metru-Nui. After Makuta Teridax's defeat, the Bebe Nui immigrated to Spherus Magna were it was shortly there after killed by Velika in his plot to take over the...
Oh wait, we aren't doing Bionicle lore on this one today? Shame. Tsk tsk.
I have that teddy bear!
Bought it together with a load of other obscure pieces on Bricklink, just for the fun of it. Never knew it came from Scala.
@AustinPowers:
I doubt I have it in this same color, but I do have five in flame yellowish orange for sure, because they included one in 7848. I bought one copy to build, and four for the blue fenders.
Paint the teddy bear's torso red and he becomes Winnie the Pooh.
I parted this set out on my BO store last year, and everything's gone except the pram. Some people love this kind of stuff.
A ‘swinging stroller’ owned by 69 people? Well done Huwbot, love your work.
Any chance we can have 1205-1 to go with this tomorrow?

To be fair, it has 2x 2926 Plate, Modified 1 x 4 with Wheels Holder
Between this, yesterday’s art and I suppose Gorm the day before that, are we on a bit of a “monster face” trend?
Yes, I need this for my council of evil villains! You can do all sorts of things with that stroller: Large Wheels at the back and GIANT exhaust pipes, treads, remove and apply jet engines... whatever the episode requires! What's your idea, Mr. Teddy?
That's a lot scarier than the Stranger Things teaser below
If you think this kid looks scary check out his cousin on 3121, with the radioactive teddy bear.
The baby did have studs, but it tore them off with its bare hands and ate them, all the while maintaining eye-contact with the LEGO design team
Nightmarish
I’m sure My Dad would love this for Fathers Day.
I want this for a poster
Scala's creepy aesthetic always feels more 1970s than late 90s to me. I'm so glad my dark ages meant I was blissfully unaware of this era until much later.
One day this baby and its antropomorphic bear will star as antagonists in a horror movie.
A BABY! I'm using it as chaos entity in my Lego world

If you think this baby looks scary, just check out the Belville baby, which looks a million times worse.
bruh how is this even a lego set.
Lets count the LEGO pieces! Um, one...
The single stud on the parasol is the only sign of LEGO.

According to the tags, they're both Thomas

"Wait its owned by 69 members."
And 32 members actually want it.
This made me look up 3220 - Christian with gifts... the only gift that Christian looks like he wants to give is death...
I really hope we get 3120 sometime soon

Wait, wasn't this set called "My Dad" when it was featured as RSOTD a few months ago? Why was it renamed?
The bear has no bar connection points to allow it to be held securely. The hands are close, but they are slightly tapered.
Yes, Scala-land is such a hellish place that even teddy bears are designed to slip through one's fingers. They taunt grasping babies with those terrifying blank eyes, arms eternally outstretched in a sardonic hug that can never be received.
It's no wonder that Thomas has been reduced to shaking his fist at the sky with an expression of deranged exasperation etched permanently on his face. When he grows up, Thomas will become another dark, brooding Scala adult lurking in the shadows of dark boxes with a stare of death, just like Christian has become in 3220.
Nuke it from orbit, just to be sure!
Just discovered the wonderful Galidor RSOTD. They should have made a value pack containing all these exceptional figures! The horror...
I will add this to my wanted list, as its a random set from the almighty Huwbot gifted to me on my birthday!

That was the best piece of literature I believe I’ve ever read. Yeah what Dickens! Just kidding that was brilliant, but I love me some Chuckie D.
