I’ve been planning to get one of these as a Christmas gift, but Lego’s shop sold out before I could get the funds together. Are there any left or in the wild.

I know it’s a long shot since they’re stopping production on this one, but I have to try.

I honestly feel like it would have been better if they didn’t even make the 2025 figure. Such a downgrade and missing key details to the character.

What are your favorite and least favorite figures? Any other downgrades as bad as this one that you can think of?

The first 300 customers received this custom printed torso. Even though the queue to enter stretched to almost behind the building when I got in line and I had to wait 1 1/2 hours after the opening to even enter, I was still able to acquire one of these torsos. To celebrate the opening, there was a giant inflatable(?) minifigure in the parking lot, a live string band outside, free coffee and build-a-minifigure, displays by MichLUG, and Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader cosplayers. So glad to have a B&M nearby (but my wallet won’t be happy about it)

My first ever LEGO set was this Roadster*. I add the asterisk because it was not actually this roadster. Mine was Mitchell Mouse, not Moe, and not Michael. I am trying to find the pieces to mine, because I remember the doors, and the body being red. The same color as the chassis.

My instructions are long gone, however in one of my boxes of instructions in my storage shed there are pieces of this booklet.

Does anyone else recall their set being named Mitchell? I cannot find anything to back ups this claim other than mine and my father’s memory of it.
