Which of the Lego Bricklink Series 2 sets have you pre-ordered?

[@Simebag]

It's amazing to see how much of an impact Brick Fanatics' review had on Ominous Isle.. Without it, I bet it would have sold out very quickly

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah the review really does make it sound rather rough. Kinda surprised Lego decided to select this design given its structure flaws

[@caronmills8983]

I managed to get up at 1am and order the Brick Cross Train Station eventually after some issues of being stuck on the US site. The same designer has also done my favourite for Series 4 being the Chocolate Shop!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh glad you managed to get the Brick Cross set. I did not realise the same designer did the Chocolate Shop, that looks lovely🙂

[@stroy2467]

There was a Japanese sushi build that looked very realistic and cool that in my opinion should’ve been chosen over another western train.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

It’s tough with only 5 sets getting selected, so many amazing designs miss out, would be nice if Lego would spread the selections from different designers as a few have now had multiple designs picked now

[@michaelcarrea4053]

Went for mushroom house, first purchase of bricklink program 👍

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh nice, really charming design, quite different🙂

[@sugarandchaos]

I got one of each. Can't wait for them to finally arrive.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Oh nice, you have lots of sets to look forward to in November🙂

[@tommystirland6715]

The only one I got was the mushroom house. And I only got it cuz it was almost sold out and I figured worst case I will probably be able to resale it for $150.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah exactly, these are pretty much all safe bets to make a decent return if you wanted to sell

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

I was observing and Brickcross sold out in 7 hours 20 minutes, told my sister if she wanted it there was maybe 100 left so do it now! she waited too long but got Mushroom house.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh that’s a shame to miss out on the station but glad she got the Mushroom House as that sold out shortly after Brickcross

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

Im thinking of putting another 5 inch just on the train station part because it did look a bit small next to the Museum. Im also taking away the red and grey of the roof and replacing it with black, dont like the look of the grey but the red bits might stay. Got two so might join them into one huge Station.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

I’m not sure where I will place the station, I’m thinking next to Avengers Tower as that dwarfs everything anyway🙂

[@simonmoss101]

I went on the website around 4 hours after kick off and ordered the mushroom house. None of the others would fit into what I want to collect tbh. It was the snail that sold the mushroom house for me and although wasn’t intending on buying anything this time I succumbed lol.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah I wasn’t too fussed about the Mushroom house initially but then changed my mind after some of the reviews plus it’s not badly priced🙂

[@Ultra_bricks]

Cool, glad you got the station. I skipped this round in the end. The only one I really like is ominous isle but some of the reviews have put me off.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

The station was my main priority so glad I got it. Ominous Isle I think I’m going to pass on, so many more series coming down the line

[@Ultra_bricks]

@@TheDyslexicGeak agree. I actually really like the look of it but if it’s as fragile as people say it will be a pain to deal with

[@stroy2467]

I’m surprised they chose another Wild West train when clearly the logging railway isn’t very popular.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

I expect the Wild West train in series 4 was selected as it’s the same designer as the general store in series 1 I believe. They will go perfectly together🙂

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

The logging railway is not selling because its two thirds brown bridge and one third train. Plus the bridge wont fit any proper track so it cant even be used as part of a railway, its a stand. If you removed the bridge and just sold the train it would sell FAR more. The Wildwest train will sell because there is more train, you have a carriage and a freight car and it uses proper track. There is 2700 pieces in logging railway, you could have got The Emerald Night with FIVE carriages for those number of pieces, instead we get a tiny crap train on a crap useless bridge...WHAT A WASTE!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@neilrusling-je6zo yeah it’s a very strange design choice, so many better examples of train sets Lego could have chosen but thankfully series 4 will do that, the Wild West train looks fantastic🙂

[@Rob56687]

Only The Ocean House for me ✋🏻

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh nice glad you went for the Ocean House🙂

[@Rob56687]

@@TheDyslexicGeak Yes, some people have to choose the less popular sets as well 😄. But I like the colorful vacationlike coastal design, a nice stand alone set 👍🏻. I have no room for Legocitybuilding so no modulars for me 😊 But I agree with you on skipping the Logging Railway and go for the Wild West Train in Series 4 instead because just like you I have already ordered the General Store in series 1 😁

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@Rob56687 if I had unlimited money I would buy al of them but the reality is I can only spend so much lol, I hope I don’t end up regretting passing on the Ocean House

[@Rob56687]

@@TheDyslexicGeak Yes it is the same situation here: limited amount of money, limited space 😅. Lego is freaking expensive nowadays!

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@Rob56687 haha I don't know what I find more challenging, financing all these Lego sets or having display space😂

[@bobbyc912]

I wanted the mushroom house but sold out too soon

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh that’s gutting, but plenty more Bricklink Series to come🙂

[@RichNoons]

Brick Cross Station. Hope some of the classic space sets get in for series 5

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Yeah Lego have so far selected a lot of Medieval type designs, would be nice to see a good space set chosen🙂

[@TonyMontanaDS]

I ordered the Ominous Isle. Was going to order the train for my western collection but there's a much nicer one coming in series 4.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

Ahh cool, yeah that train in series 4 looks fantastic, I believe it’s the same designer who made the General Store in series 1 so should pair nicely together🙂

[@TonyMontanaDS]

@@TheDyslexicGeak Yeah, I bought the general store one and the instructions for his sheriff's office from rebrickable.

[@TheDyslexicGeak]

@@TonyMontanaDS oh I didn’t realise he had done a sheriff’s office, I will check those instructions out👍
