Maybe it'll be for the new rollercoaster thats coming?!?!?

Just in time for the Jurassic sets aswell!! ?????? Xx

3200 NTD is about £85. :(

Cool that the Ring the Bell game appears to be functional.

Can someone explain what a "certified store" is? While in Taiwan in 2019 I found a couple of very nice Lego-centric stores, but no official first-party store. And I've been unable to find a store near Taipei where i can source Lego-exclusive sets like Monkie Kid for gifts.

It’s nice but a shame it’s another test your strength and hook the duck like the 60234 set up instead of something new

It's a fun little GWP. But I vote for an international AFOL day too. I think only LEGO has the power to make it official. :)

PLEASE build another roller coaster!

Neat! Don’t NEED it though (see what I did there?). Still waiting for the ‘official’ reveal of the new Botanical Collection pair tho…

There's a third party store dedicated to Lego in the Shilin district of Taipei - Brick Papa. Very friendly and helpful owner. One of their FB pictures has 80028 in it so they must stock Monkie Kid.

What about one of those fairground rides that is a boat that swings back and forth, crossover Pirates/Creator Fairground.

The test-of-strength game is nearly identical to the one in 41236 Harley Quinn Dorm, which was a fun little set. It'll work great.

I like it but I wish they'd stop using that banana torso until they can get the opacity right on the printing. It never looks right.

Arrested Development for the win. Nice one. :)

Doesn’t float my boat, so I’m not going to go out of my way to pick this one up (unless I’m just shy of the threshold). Looks like it’ll be popular, though.

@GusG:
Generally speaking, it takes about a year from when they first announce an Ideas set to the point that they actually unveil and release it.

@Padmewan:
To expand on what @lluisgib said, for whatever reasons, TLG doesn’t want to run corporate LEGO Stores in every nation, including several where there seems to be sufficient demand that they probably should. These franchised stores allow someone else to handle the front end, while gaining access to some (but not all) of the benefits of a full LEGO Store. GWPs are available, but maybe at lower quantities per store. I don’t think they’re hooked into the VIP system (meaning no way to earn or spend points). I can’t remember if they always/never/maybe have access to LEGO.com, or if they have PaB walls.

It’s cool but as an owner of Fun Fair People Pack, it’s a lot of rehash. The monkey banana ride is appealing.

If this does release in the US later this month I may get the Lunar Research Base with 2x VIP points depending on the spend threshold & purchase requirements. I purposely didn't order it yet hoping for a decent GWP later in the month. This is why I really miss the store calendars.

Yes. I remember when store calendars were phased-out. A large group of commenters here said that the info would be readily available from other quarters. Where?

We are left in the dark constantly lurching from one surprise announcement to the next. There's no planning anymore. That's a huge reason why I have become a lot less excited about anything Lego does. I'm becoming much more cautious and patient.

Besides, dealing with the online, chat, or telephone Lego people is a real frustrating chore. They treat customers as if they're doing US a favor. Customer service is in the toilet. At least the real people at my local store still care, are incredibly nice, and will do whatever they can to make you happy!

Some countries with LCS stores have shop.LEGO.com such as Australia; others don't such as Singapore. I believe all LCS stores have PAB walls; however in Singapore only one of the LCS chains has resumed PAB service since the pandemic; the other hasn't. There has also been a price reduction for PAB cups across the board. We're still using the traditional plastic cups."
The largest chain of LEGO stores in Japan, clickbrick, which I believe is an LC chain, doesn’t have PABs.

Rather than buying bricks by the cup, you can get individual pieces that are priced according to part size categories. It’s been a few years since I went to a clickbrick, so things may have changed, but that’s how it was and possibly still is.

The banana boat ride is cool but they have literally copied the duck game (it's sort of a pluck a duck sideshow game mixed with quoits), from the People pack and with the Fairground Mixer, People Pack and the minifig pack from stores, this would be the fourth Lego strongman game.

Can't they think up something else? There are lots of rides and stalls at a fairground beyond pluck a duck and strongman. Another fairy floss/cotton candy cart would have been popular (especially with the pink bee hive piece), or just another ride.

@Zander:
I once bough PaB by weight at LLCA, so yeah, there are different ways it can be organized. Cups are burdensome to those AFOLs who insist on getting the maximum possible yield (to the point where they’d have charts for how to build wafers of 2x4 bricks for max capacity), while this system sounds like it’s even worse for store employees who have to ring those purchases up.

That is an unfortunate amount of stickers

Daylight come and me wan' go home...

This is great timing for me, considering my birthday's the twentieth.

They(Lego) probably made too much of item 67075 in bright light yellow (cool yellow) and we are now seeing the overflow here. 2 out of 3 of these games have already been made numerous time before. Good for those who don't have them yet (assuming the threshold is not too high) and no rush in getting it for those who do have them already. I already have the Fun Fair People pack 60234 so no need for me to get this really - but I may end up having it with the BL XL-15 76832 if the threshold is reasonable.

Part 67075 is available in white in 41398 and in cool yellow in 43187. It is basically a 'POOP': Part Out of Other Parts (when Lego makes a one part thingy that could be built with several other parts - for those who might now know the meaning)

@HOBBES:
I have to confess, I’m not seeing the “other parts” in this one.

Heh, I'm not complaining. Cool yellow is a lovely color and that part ought to appear in more sets apart from minidolls. The banana ride is a great idea. Like PurpleDave I'm not seeing how it is a POOP though. If you mean that a swing can be built out of a number of other arbitrary parts without necessarily looking identical to this part, that's not what POOP means.

It's been a few years (pre-pandemic) but I believe the PaB at both Legoland California and Florida sell pieces by weight. They always seem to have some cool small parts- like trans jewel pieces and tiles.

"That monkey swing just reminds me how much I'd love to see a 'Creator Expert' Pirate Ship....!"

That would be so cool

This GWP is better than the actual Easter gifts. Yesterday, after visiting the two LEGO stores in Warsaw, I receive the Easter gifts, but, undoubtedly, this new one is better!!!

So...where the 'adult supervision' here? Seriously, that swing looks...iffy, and there's a mallet. Now granted, it probably has "Nerf" on the sides (IRONY:D), but still...
