ParticipantI got the latest Lego catalog in the mail this week. The most noteworthy thing on the cover is a parrot riding a panda riding an elephant. As far as I can tell, this is not a real set or an upcoming release. Which is disappointing, cause I would totally buy that one.

Samesies. I, too, was lured in by that, only to find almost solely licensed/fandom sets and expensive sets for older folks.

On the one hand, Greg, I respect your fancy way of saying #pixoritdidnthappen, and I fully support your skepticism when it comes to Mr. Goode’s oft-outlandish, unsubstantiated by photo-documentation, claims.
On the other hand, I am saddened that my corroboration of Mr. Goode’s tale, in this case, didn’t serve as evidence for you. Is my word worth so little…?

Participant@philmatt24 you got the reference to a movie that happened before you were born but not a reference to current events?
Regardless, this is “threadjacking”, and since I have been know the have expertise in this area, I just gotta wine that the ONE SET I wanted to buy on VIP weekend was in stock for less than two hours when it went out of stock again. Not backordered mind you, out of stock.

And I’m guessing some politician said

‘Twas the elf clubhouse. (Could you guess?) However it went back in stock for a fleeting time in the middle of the night when I just happened to be awake!!! I placed an order and a few hours later I got a notification that it would arrive within 60 days. 😀 Production must be really backed up.

The LEGO equivalent of a turducken, just in time for the holidays.

ParticipantOh man, how do I get one of these fox suits? Maybe I would have to work at LEGOLAND to wear one.

ParticipantWell done on the spaceman costume, paper maché is fun to do.
I used that technique to make a wasp nest piñata for my wife’s 50th … she was Queen Bee for a day!

ParticipantEven though I know that wasps’ nest is fake, it still makes me cringe to see her swinging a stick at it!

Participant>> another outrageous claim with no evidence
I agree with Mr. Redfielde that our word alone should be good enough, but really, I had assumed – and yes, I know all the sayings about assuming – that as a LUG member you would be receiving said catalog in the mail from Lego, and therefore had either seen it or could go easily find it. As far as outrageous claims with no pics go, I think you’re confusing me with Rich.
>> Oh no, did I inadvertently start something here? @bengood921 please forgive me!
Hmm, I’ll let it slide. But I do have to ask about what’s going on in this pic. It’s from Cale’s Flickr stream (I can’t directly cause this site is weird), and it’s from Lego Kidsfest 2012 at the Lawrence. (Which I was at, but at which I failed to notice the existence of the LUG.) I figure there’s two possibilities here: 1) Tim is demonstrating to Doug how he made his buzzer-beating shot that won his team the basketball championship 2) Tim just got hired as an actor at a local Halloween attraction, and is demonstrating to Doug how he’s gonna play the role of the monster that jumps out and scares people. Either way it’s a keeper.

ModeratorAll three at once! That goes all the way back to our LUG’s very first display at Kidsfest.
I never did make a winning shot in basketball. However (and since this is Threadjacking), I will add this shameless personal brag. Tuesday (December 8) was the 30 year anniversary of the Allegheny College Division III National Championship in football – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_NCAA_Division_III_football_season.
