    Jason should come on the AFOOL podcast and ask his burning questions about running a Bricklink store. Figuring out shipping is up there

    Hello guys! Mind suggesting quite a topic to discuss: what are you think about city planner software?
    In my opinion, a dream modular city planning app could allow to:
    - select official modular sets to place in the city
    - select Rebrickable mocs to place in the city
    - upload your mocs to place in the city
    - manage buildings: is it MILS-plated/ have lights/ is yet to buy/ or moc yet to be built
    - create other variants of the layout using the same buildings library
    - simplify adding your sets by connecting to your Brickset account
    - maybe preview your city in 3D to *feel* it better?
    - or share a link to others to look at?
    - or even collaborate together?
    But is there are real need for this? Is there are demand? Would you by yourself using this?

    😂🤣😂🤣😂 Alex's face expression trying Vita Malz - marvelous!!! Yes, Alex, "we" do drink that (well, I don't, but I do not hate it either): You find it in EVERY German supermarket. It was most famous in the 80s, and back than I had it once in a while. In those days even restaurants had it on their menus. today they don't. Oh, and we have sticky malty candy called Bayrisch Blockmalz. That was also famous in the 80s, but I haven't seen it for a while. Oh, and: Prost, Jason!

    20:43 @Jason Sets with lights? Maybe Funwhole? Anyway, sounds interesting. I like seeing what non-Lego sets there are. Some are too different from Lego if you are used to "the Lego style" to fit into a Lego collection. And some are of lower quality. But at the same time there is some nice stuff out there!

    Hi Guys, loving the show! I just finished building my Lego studio in my backyard. It was suppose to be 10’ x 20’ attached to house by a doorway where a kitchen window currently is. No plumbing or hvac…..$120,000. It actually is 10’x 13’ not attached to house $36,000. Classified as a shed so it doesn’t affect my property taxes.

    Alex, speaking of the Icons Countach rumors, the one Icons car I wanna see released within the next few years is a Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadster, preferably the 1st Gen w/ the pop-up headlights. Literally the only people who hate Miatas are people who think horsepower is all that matters in a sports car, when that's not what the Miata's about

    Okay, on the exclusive minifigs topic, someone in the poll said "If I'm buying a $X huge Lego set, I want to get something exclusive." ...Yeah, you do. You get a giant Lego set. Let the rest of us who can't afford those also have the little plastic minifigures. Why should a UCS set even have minifigs at all? Unless it's actually minifig scale, like the Millennium Falcon or AT-AT.
    I get the feeling that with some exceptions, people's opinion on exclusive minifigs in big sets probably depends on if they can afford said big sets.

    On the Space CMFs, I'm pretty disappointed with them. I would have hoped for new minifigures that look like cool, updated versions of classic ones. Not "Mutant Blacktron guy" but like, "Blacktron Commando", "Space Police II Patrolman", "U.F.O. Android", "Insectoids SuperMajor", RoboForce, Spyruis, Ice Planet, Exploriens... "Forestmen Guy who got Abducted by Aliens and just went with it".

    Alex, even before you tried the Vita Malz I knew you’d find it disgusting, cause it is! (Funny to watch your reaction though, so familiar) No idea how it can stay on the market. There are also other types of Malz (malt) beers in Germany. I see them on the shelves but have never seen anyone buy them. Seeing as regular beer is considered a food here, maybe this is training for kids so when they turn 15 their taste bud are ready for real beer.

    I'm not into microscale stuff, honestly, but the hospital looks neat. I just prefer minifigure scale builds.
    Anyway; I wanted to bring up something. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine: I personally do not like it when Lego content creators brag a lot and do all these huge hauls; I just don't like that kind of behaviour and I think it sets a bad example when it comes to unrealistic spending for the average Lego fan. I was wondering what you guys' thoughts are on this.

    What Lego needs to do is make a Star Wars CMF Set, because their are A LOT of Star Wars characters from the movies to Clone Wars to the Video Games that haven't gotten the love that they needed like for example Cal Kestis from the Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor games that came out, we got the BD-1 Droid as a set and nothing else, no Cal Kestis, no Maren, no Cera Junda, HELL we didn't even get a Ninth Sister, just a mini BD-1 Droid along with its big brother and that's it, I hate it when Lego only makes sets for things like the Star Wars Series like Ahsoka or Kenobi, yeah we got Darth Malak from the new R2 set and ARC Trooper Fives from the Tantive hallway scene from A New Hope and I heard we might be getting a Saul Gerra with a new set coming out, but we need more then just Lego sets that are coming out with these special Mini-figs, we need a CMF Series for Star Wars characters that we never seen before but have been in the shows or movies like Clone Wars.

    • @StillSaber

      And I would also like to see a TRON CMF Series be made, The TRON franchise needs more Love also, it could have characters from BOTH the original TRON movie and TRON: LEGACY in it, HELL That CMF series can even have characters from the TRON: EVOLUTIION X-box game and from the TRON: UPRISING cartoon series also if they do it, because I would really like to have a TRON Grid Sentry from the TRON: LEGACY movie be made.

    To Jasons question 23:25 I recently got my first two requests to showcase products on my channel. You should do what you feel is best for you and your channel. If you want to do it, i say go for it! Forget what anyone else says, it's your content, your channel. I really like your non-lego reviews etc. There are 10,000,000 lego reviews. Not so much for off-brand products
