Bluebrixx have come a long way desu.
Their collab sets with Xingbao are just Xingbao quality. These are good. (they have done some western themed sets with them too).

Their own "bluebrixx" brand stuff was considered a mixed bag until around 1 year ago. I believe they bought the bricks from Lele or some other company. But they changed their supplier, and nowadays i believe they use Gobricks, so its perfect. If you dont get an odd box that was on the shelf for 3 years, there shouldn't be anything to worry about BB quality.

Some of their sets dont have printed instructions, but you can download all their pdfs for free if you register on their website.
Also some of their sets are clearly for collectors and not for play, and they include sometimes very flimsy building techniques. But they look good.

>>10592986
Good to know, thank you.

>>10592986
Only their sets that use GoBricks are good. The rest is trash. I'm a Kraut import directly from China btw Bluebrixx import shit is too expensive.

>What is it about this ip that causes this?
It's a mix of console wars and not muh, I think.
If you invest ~2000 dollars or more over lets say five years, towards one specific team that appeals to you, you're gonna be real upset when everyone including the company tells you that you've made the wrong choice and you should buy *new thing* or *popular thing*.

This is worse when you emotionally invest in your army, because then someone disliking something about that army's aesthetic = they are insulting you and your identity personally.

>>10587224
Can I peek at your biovore thing from another angle?

I like the ravener/prime with the four claw hands, too.

>>10593367
I'll admit that it looks extra bad in that pic, but I think this is mostly due to funky posing (and a lil because of the loincloth).

But they are an appropriate length proportionally for the slightly squashy "heroic scale" style that JoyToy uses. I think your problem is that they taper so much from front view. Which is, I believe, so that the upper and lower balljoints have room to work with. I am playing with one of mine RN and notice that you CAN make it look really bad and too long if you tilt the upper torso back too far. But if you just tilt it forward slightly, it doesn't seem long at all. I think this particular guy's torso also gives the impression of being extra long because you can't see where his crotch ends thanks to the loincloth.

>someone disliking something about that army's aesthetic = they are insulting you and your identity personally
This is the core of so many arguments on this board. People cannot take any criticism about what they collect, because they have become so invested that is has become their personality.

TMNT accessory set is $60, and if it includes a large riverbed base and has low production numbers and low reuse of molds, it could easily be $200+.

>>10593523
The Dracula, Frankenstein and Mummy set all contain big pieces which are on par with a river bed base, none have been reused (even though the Lootcrate figures would been the best opportunity to do it) and those only in the 40 range.
The TMNT set comes with more stuff than you're typical UM set (which are typically just big item and a couple extra things) as well as fully articulated baby turtles and a robot, that's why it costs more.
Also I'm not the guy you normally reply to so don't expect me to flip out and call you stuff.

>>10593557
He's trolling. He knows all of that.

>>10593523
You're a fucking idiot. You just repeat things and still manage to get it all wrong. That's how much of a simpleton you are.

>>10593557
Good point. The coffin, sarcophagus and the Frankenstein bench are pretty big, so I guess a riverbed base could be done for a lower price, depending on the amount of paint. The only one that has a lot of paint is the mummy sarcophagus.

Any tecommendations for a serviceable quality bootleg that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and both kidneys?
Originals are great and all but I will never be able to afford them.

>>10593514
A bootleg of what? Just the sylvanians in general?

>>10593515
I contemplated it when it went up in Japan, but now local showing up with similar price.. The more pics I see of it, the less I want it lol

>>10593488
Dishonest. We barely get Bejita. Too lazy to double-check but I'm pretty sure there are more Trunks figures than his dad.

>>10593515
i would've gotten it if nin-nin wasnt shit

>>10593515
This whole release has felt pointless from its first showing. But I think it's a sign of what's to come moving forward.

I'm really surprised they're doing the core fighter transformation gimmick too.
I think this will be the first MRD to have that

>>10592943
Weird bit is that the proto ZZ has no core fighter at least in original msv. It's just meant to be a top and bottom like the Bawoo.

PO’s open on September first, bit surprised to see this get a global release before Alto’s Durandal but I ain’t complaining. Reading through the product page it seems like it only includes the hardpoint wings, from what I hear the process for swapping the wings out on the original releases for this mold was a massive pain, so it looks like they may have just dropped it entirely and only included the hardpoint wings.

>>10592943
>>10593300
It doesn’t appear to come with a core fighter but it does come with a top and bottom fighters. So, this is in line with what we know about the suit. What’s interesting is that it comes with the Proto double barrel beam rifle, which corresponds to the proto ZZ B unit. So, I wonder if they will include the b type head with the prototype high mega beam cannon.

>>10593567
That makes sense, an actual core fighter that separated would've probably created too much instability.

>>10593525
This is cool, because I like OP character designs, but hate the artstyle of their faces.

>>10593525
I've been wanting that fucking figure for so long. Impossible to find now though, and it goes for like $1000 when it does pop up. At least the VAH Ace is still really good, if a little loose and not my preferred scale.

>>10593525
Why on earth do so many Aces get made before series mainstays?

>>10593517
He probably screwed it up with dish soap or too much oil. Every single other review I've seen, plus my own copy, the legs are squeaking just to move them. I needed to use shock oil to loosen them and they're still very tight and secure.

The figure is good. Arms are done in a pretty finicky way for no reason, and the knees are garbage, but otherwise it's a solid budget release. I'd like to hope they'll get the knees settled before releasing G5 because it looks like the same crotch piece so far.

>>10593566
The knees are really the only horrible part, but I'll concede that the leg construction in a vacuum just looking at the design is shit. I mean... really? Two short pegs with no mushroom or ball?
But Luffy is altogether a pretty good release. Just wish they hadn't fucked up the knees because Wano Luffy is now going to forever have shitty need or an ugly gash in the back of the shorts. No bueno.

I'm so sick of DC killing it and completing all these versions of the legion of doom by different equally skilled companies, although I guess they are quite mainstream. Just once I'd like to complete an obscure team like the avengers but todd would rather release two hundred wolverine variants instead.

>>10591403
The worst part is how easy it is to find all their stuff on the shelves. Like, make the hunt a little challenging once in a while!

>>10592560
Means the socket for the ball joint is too tight and isn't allowing the ball to move inside it. If you care to risk it, you can heat them up, pop them apart, and put a small amount of lubricant in there.

>>10592410
>because toy manufacturing requires mold release (a lube) and sometimes it's applied when packaging them in their bubbles
Wtf am I reading? Lube and mold release are two different things. Mold release is only applied on mold prior to the molding. You'll only find traces of mold release on bare unpainted molded plastic.

>>10591773
I see, thanks. I guess I'm out of this line for now and I see how things will be when they'll start releasing "upgraded/more accurate" versions Juhn was talking about.

The bangs and eyes look better on the yelling face. So does the nose. Close her mouth and give her eyebrows a neutral angle and she would be solid.

Anybody else having difficulty tracking these figs down? Despite usually being really good with everything else all my target’s have been dead for weeks with Jada and only ever got one or two case of Jada per store. I had to drive an hour plus to get Ryu and Fei a month or two back. Even today a fresh shipment came and no Chun, only Ryu and Fei despite the worker opening the case for me, and the rest of my state completely empty. On top of that they don’t have individual DPCI per character, only a SKU for the whole line, so you can’t even really properly hunt them down. Even at its worst I’m usually able to hunt down gold label and even Walmart exclusives pretty easily. I get they’re a smaller company and they don’t have the luxury that say hasbro or Mattel do when it comes to distribution, but it’s honestly a frustrating thing that the only two places to get these are like one per each case retailer shipment and another online store that’s never been too great imo. At the BARE minimum they should be available on next level, or is that just me?

>>10593358
I will. Im not going to put more than a few hours of effort into this at best, but ill do what I said and revamp a hordika into something that lego should have "actually" done instead, aka working with realistic and reasonable parts and mostly ones actually available at the time. Going to create a single prototype and then ill probably download that software to create digital version after testing things out first

>>10593453
actually ill one up the difficulty, ill do two significantly different "builds" with roughly the same core parts that are still realistic. Its going to be a small but very significant improvement to the hordika concept

>>10593453
What did you do that I didn't?

>>10593358
I've got some old photos of my Bo-Matoran with some Rahi around here somewhere, if that's of interest. They're pretty basic, I built them from a parts barrel as a kid.

Thanks guys. Here is an example of my luck the last 2 weeks.
I get off work and go to Ollie's like i said yesterday and I buy 16 cabinets. On the way I look away for a second and it's a sharp turn around the corner. I eat the curb and rip out a huge chunk of sidewall. So I have to replace the front tires right fucking now or risk a blowout. Fucking only tires they got at my size is 600 dollars total replacement. So essentially those goddamn cabinets cost me 600 dollars extra. I'm literally sitting at the tire place as I type this.

Idk I've been around a long time and I feel like there were always suicides and murders going on here, it was never a fun innocent time.
