Legos, anyone?

You know what's irritating now.. I could easily use a few of those new compound curves to refine the OMS pods on my shuttle, if I can get them in white.  I've been trying to come up with a better arrangement of elements, and that might make a really nice option for those curves.

That Countach is really tempting though.. but sadly I probably do not have the spare funds to pick anything up at the moment, just from other priorities.  Will have to see though.

Man, you said it. I'm also working on a mostly white MOC and could use those in white as well. 

The Countach is an impressive set and I'm still tempted to pick it up, too. I kinda wish they'd done it in red, but I think they wanted it as a counterpoint to the Speed Champions version, which was also white. OR, perhaps, Ferrari took issue with making a Lambo in red. IDK- just spitballing, but some of these car companies can be rather fussy and demanding. I would have preferred it in black, too, over the white.

So anyone else, building the super detailed Hogward's Castle?

Nah. I'm sure it'll be impressive once fully completed, but I bought the micro-scale full castle grounds set on a deep sale and haven't looked back, that's pretty much all I want and need from Harry Potter Lego.

Is that the one built out of all the regular sets in the line put together?

Yep! It's like large and small modules that then make up the large part of the castle! It's Minifigure scale and will be quit large. The main tower alone is almost 70cm high. But also expensive with the first two main building adding up to €450 and next years Astronomy Tower being rumored to cost €300...

Of the three Batmobiles, the BvS is my favorite design and, IMHO, the worst execution among the three sets. I think the designers did a far better job capturing the B&R and The Batman Batmobiles. I'll still get the BvS and The Batman sets, but I think I prefer the original BvS Batmobile set (76045) they released in 2016. This new set has a lot more sculpting, but after consulting my BvS Tech Manual which discusses the development of the movie's various props, with all the parts at their disposal, being a collector of the Speed Champions line, and having looked at a few MOCs, I just don't feel like they captured the car very well, or at least not as well as I would have expected, especially given what they've accomplished with the SC line. Too, in an interview, the designers discussed eschewing the OG two-part canopy elements in preference of just using the regular one piece curved windshield. Personally, I'd have rather they used the two-piece canopy which was more authentic and designed specifically for this Batmobile.

Obviously, the old set is simplified, but I think it captures the shaping better than the new set. YMMV. Since they seem to be cranking out more and more media related Batmobiles, I'm hoping there's an Arkham Asylum Batmobile in the works and that they make it every bit as excellent as 2021's Tumbler set (76239). Furthermore, I hope they put every ounce of effort into imbuing it with all of its functions and details.  That would make for an extraordinarily fun model to build and play with.

I never cared for the Clooneymobile, and honestly, this set isn't selling it to me, either. OTOH, it might make for a good parts set. FWIW, I think the designers did a good capture of the overall look. The car itself was just never to my taste.
