They did but some were already shipped to retailers. -
Up to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I will see this through to the end like watching a train that caught fire running off the rails over the mountain as people are screaming from the windows watching the impending doom of the approaching ground before them... k... ttyl

This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection

Didn't find any of these around here... but keep an eye out. For the first time in a long time, a Lego set was recalled and will not be released. A few sets were already shipped around the nation and have been put out. https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-technic-bell-boeing-v-22-osprey-42113-release-potentially-cancelled/ Long story short, the v22 Osprey is primarily a real modern world military vehicle which is something they never do... They reconsidered and pulled it after some sets already shipped. Be on the lookout at Target, Walmart and the like. You will NOT find this at your Lego store. LEGO 42113 The is already hitting up to $1600 on the secondary market. They can be sold... but competition is fierce... If someone in the stockroom knows that a box containing these $150 items are worth ten x that each... they might never hit the floor. https://www.brickfanatics.com/some-lego-technic-42113-bell-boeing-v-22-osprey-helicopter-sets-will-be-sold/ -
Romita Sr is my number one over Ditko every time... not even close.

If you get a chance... Someone built a piano out of Lego bricks. It is not striking piano wire but it creates the mechanics of a piano and Lego incorporated a motor and sound. $350... Keep in mind that this was designed by a fan and submitted to lego for consideration as a set. They liked it and went forward with it. What other company does stuff like this? https://www.brothers-brick.com/2020/07/23/lego-ideas-21323-grand-piano-designer-shows-off-inner-workings-of-the-musical-model-news/#more-212640 -
Sounds kind of like what a friend of mine did. I've seen a variation of this move. Around ten years ago, this is how a friend of mine beat his wife at arbitration during their divorce. They both agreed that he would pay child support and that they would sell the house and split the money. He was a police officer and she was a teacher. He got her to agree to a term where the house would not be allowed to be sold under a certain amount as he was banking on housing prices to further decrease at the time. He would remain in the house to maintain the upkeep and act as the custodian while they tried to find a seller. In the meantime they would both share in the mortgage. Housing prices continued to decrease. People made offers on the house that were close to, but did not meet that certain amount. In the meantime his wife began to struggle in paying for her half of the mortgage each month. He would not relent. Finally she asked what would it take to sell the house at a lower price. He had one term. He would only agree to sell the house at a price lower than the amount determined in arbitration if he was the buyer. She could not really afford to keep paying her share so she agreed and basically he took the house at a steep discount. The kids now spend even more time with him since they have their original rooms and their house back. It's always kind of awkward at the larger BBQ's when they both show up independently from one another.
