Last year, it was more family time for me as I was taking care of my mom more after her cancer surgery and I prioritized that a little more than what happened LEGO-wise. I expect that’ll be about the same this year as well. The highest traffic day was on May 1 with 251,277 page views when a lot of the summer 2023 sets were revealed that day.
