Reminder, do NOT respond to MOCfags. You’ll only encourage their ugly unprofessional creations.
you know things are bad when girlshit has more soul than regular sets

>>8798809At first I saw the the thing ob the left and thought they were doing some cool plotline about evil droids, but it's just a DPV that doesn't fit in with the rest of the set.

>>8798819fat fingers meant for>>8798809
what's that program thats like lego digital designer but the pieces look a lot shinier and high quality?

How long do you usually keep a moc or set together before its parts end up in something else?
>>8798854Sometimes month, sometimes 10 years...
>>8798854Usually leave it up for a week or so, then break it down
>>8798802Are cadfags the same as mocfags?
this new set seems to have some pretty good fucking soul
>>8798863cadfags are a subset of mocfags
>>8798854depends on the moc, my train station has been up for 3 years but i've continually improved it but i'll never take it down.
>>8798842You're probably thinking of Bricklink Stud.io, which does not typically look any better than Lego Digital Designer, but it does have a number of features that make it preferable.>Up-to-date parts palette and TLG SupportBricklink, and by extension Stud.io, is an official TLG resource, so new parts are constantly being added. Also, if you hadn't noticed, fresh downloads of LDD have severely reduced parts selection due to the LDD servers having been taken offline.>Bricklink PartDesigner With Stud.io's sister tool, you can import models and assign connection points for ease of use. This can come in handy if there are out-of-print or nonexistent parts you want to use. (Which is to say, you're a Biofag)>Advanced ToolsStud.io offers a suite of controls and tools that allow a much higher level of precision than was available in LDD, including precise rotations and toggleable collisions.>Bricklink integrationIf you're not actually a poorfag and can afford to buy bricks, Stud.io can automatically create a cart for you.>Built in POV-ray and Photorealistic RendererThis is probably what you were referring to. With Stud.io's built in photoreal render options, you can make beautiful renders of your builds before (or in lieu of) buying them. If your heresy truly knows no bounds, know also that the available color palette of Stud.io not only dwarfs LDD's, but also includes glowing variants of certain colors, and full support for completely custom colors. Check out Swampkryakwa's Color Pack to see some examples.Now go, and condemn yourself to the plight of the eternal CADfag.
Time to be a CADfag and shit up the new thread with some renders I seemed to have made whilst I was sleep-walking a few nights ago.
>>8798905Seriously, I don't remember making this design concept at all...
>>8798908Unlike some CADfags, I fully intend to make this beast and take photos of it, just like the near-20-odd cars sized like it I have created over the last year.
>>8798905the rendering goof'd the tile above and next to the headlights
>>8798915Those aren't tiles; It's these pieces in white:>https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=29120#T=S&C=1&O={%22color%22:%221%22,%22iconly%22:0}>https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=29119#T=S&C=1&O={%22color%22:%221%22,%22iconly%22:0}>>8798911Also, the museum piece full-size Mach 5X that I got inspiration from.
>>8798922well whatever the piece is the rendering fucked it up in the first pic
>>8798867Definitely a big improvement over the old ATAT micro fighter and the tauntaun is cute. I’ll grab this for sureThe stud shooters are stupid as always but at least they’re accessories and not ruining the build
>>8798924It didn't though, it's looking as intended
>>8798968buncha blind fucks around here
>>8798802Who hurt you anon?
>>8798854Depends on the MOC and if I get a better idea. I've had one plane that I've kept since I was a kid and modified little by little for the past 20 years.
Fuck monke kid, a slimy attempt to get some social credit score from Xi. Creator is the last soul theme, but not for long, as even Lego is showing itself to be a spineless sellout to China.
>>8799078conspiracy theory i just came up with: china shutdown lepin if lego catered sets to them
>>8799080I believe it and going forward will exert this idea as fact. Lego is China's cucked bitch.
>>8799085Catering to a specific group is what lego has always done, but a set has only as much soul, as the people who buy it. The Chinese have no soul, just look at the media they consume, so to cater to them, Lego has to make literal shit.
>>8799080Probably true
>>8798798Bionicle is dead and Lego never had any intention of reviving it
>CADfag is a tripfagyou can't make this shit up
Makin' progress.
>>8798802Rent free
>>8799203>removed the crateOther than that, looking good anon!
>>8799212It's gonna get added back as soon as I fix up the ass end, it's just a mess of random plates right now.
>>8799128Tha-tha-that's all folks!
>>8799203I LOVE IT ANON
>>8798783
>>8798802elaborate, what's wrong with mocs? Because fuck people that just consoom and build sets to never alter the prescribed combination of little parts
>>8799265This is a star wars general, if you like building, go to /pbbg/.
>>8799265He is just seething because he has an inferior brain that can only follow instructions with pictures
>>8799305>/pbbg/shame the thread is this slow, but thanks anyways!
Don't you guys remember the lesson of the first lego movie? You won't get a hot chick to break up with her boyfriend Batman and hop on your dick unless you're a Master Builder.
>>8799324thus it is written a cadfag is doomed to become the gf
>>8798802Isn’t a lego set essentially that designers moc, so every set, your just building some else’s moc
>>8798783basedTAKE ME BACK
>>8799343Would that make building from instructions the lego equivalent of cuckoldry?
>>8799265>I am a troll, please feed me repliesHope that clears things up.
SOUL
>>8799128It's still pretty much alive, even if you fags wish otherwise. Your anger is our fuel.
>>8799382Bionicle is dead. The fandom is kept alive by a few hundred autists who can't accept anything different from what they grew up with and won't stop bitching about getting more, despite the fact that anything new will have to be different and then they won't buy it.It's like saying Cryoshell is still alive because they make one song a year. It's enough to appeal to an extremely small following that isn't large enough to carry a multimillion dollar franchise.
Thanks to the combined effort by Amerifats and Star Wars autists I will never have more Space Police.
>>8799399Burgerfag here, I didn't do shit! I'm not an "of color", nor am I a cop
Finally got this set on good sale.Let's say I am just happy to have my fav dino ankylo in Lego
Do Star Wars fans really?
Am i the only one that was autistic enough to get a part time job as a teen just to buy more legos
>>8799511at least you got job experience from it, I was just playing vidya.
Is it just me or do some of the lego-focused social media influencers have an arrogant streak?
>>8799514Mandpr always had
>>8799511I’m autistic enough to get a part time job to buy more Legos AND other shit, and I’m in my mid twenties. Of course the increased savings, work experience, and regular exercise help too, but without a constant drip feed of sets I’d likely lose motivation of work. This week was the Boulder Blaster and a series 3 DOTS pack. I don’t have much use for the detail pieces, but they’re cheap enough and weird enough that at least one pack should be sufficient for most things.
I need to see the altbuilds
>>8799506Ahahahaha
>>8799521found this one anon
>>8799527goddamnit. Well, at least it should provide enough good parts.
>>8799527>w*men astronautWow, Lego sure is progressive featuring the first space criminal in one of their sets!
>>8799521>another space shuttleGODDAMMIT, there could be so many cool designs with different play functions but it's always>NASA™ space shuttle>put one guy in the cockpit!>cargo bay flaps open to reveal a satellite on a robotic arm.At least the City Space version from two years ago looked a bit different and had a surface rover BUT if they had not made it space shuttle derivative there would have been the possibility to put a ramp in the aft to take in the rover. (as many older spaceships did) In the end it was just a lonely rover on the planet and a space shuttle in space.
>>8799521>>8799527Man this is really good
>>8799542New Lego designers suck.
>found $500 worth of mostly western/castle from the 90s all with instructions on CL>paid $200sometimes, things are ok>>8799506thats what he gets for buying a bunch of grey ass star wars sets, what a bland line
>>8799368top comfy
>>8799542I had high hopes after the rover and mech that they would try something bit more original but NOPE
Why are raised baseplates no longer a thing? They improve set aesthetics tenfold, make structures look far more elaborate and imposing, you could never get away with wasting that many pieces to brickbuild something like it. All in all they allow Lego to sell things at a higher price with surely cheaper production costs.
>>8799569Too expensive to make and Lego themselves didn't actually produce them but Bayer.
>>8799574>Too expensive to makenot as much as it would to brickbuild. baseplates could repace a huge chunk of pieces used on large sets.not to mention that looking much better = more people wanting to buy it
>>8799527>Space Shuttle>Lunar Module>Saturn V-like Rocket>Astronaut waifigI gotta say this is a pretty based set.
>>8799587They were too fragile and too expensive to produce
>>8799600>too fragilejust like all new Lego pieces now
>>8799599It's a very good set of what it's aiming to be.I just don't like it's more of this nasa shit instead of something original.
Why does LEGO® hate him is so much, bros?
>>8799609he speaks nazi
>>8799607the difference is the new ones are brittle but cheap to produce
>>8799506He will sell them like that on eBay and proceed to buy them new again so he can build them following the instructions, star fags are unable to process any kind of building without numbered bags and instructions
>>8799613I like his reviews the most, of course there are more popular English reviewers out there but he isn't a LEGO fanboy and does fair judgment and doesn't shy away from criticizing them even tho they sued him numerous times now. He introduced me to other manufacturers like CADA, Bluebrixx, Codi. LEGO tried to combat the falling sales numbers by increasing the price but their quality and overall product offer has been poor for quite some time. You can see how they are out of touch with their fan base just by looking at the IDEA creations that people actually want and the actual products they deliver.
>>8799353set would of been cool if it could ride on trains right out of the box >>8799361stop trying to implement your degenerate fetish
>>8799635>LEGO tried to combat the falling sales numbers by increasing the price but their quality and overall product offer has been poor for quite some time.Isn't the quality decrease because they had to produce their bricks faster, as a result of such high demand for Lego that they couldn't meet it otherwise?
For anyone scared of mocing, try getting a small set (under $20 at least) or a small build from a larger set, and try to build something else with just those pieces. Necessity is the mother of invention, so you’ll never discover a cool new way parts interact without being ‘forced’ to put them together.
>>8799635>they sued him numerous times nowthey sued some youtuber? jesus christ>>8799655this is the answer unfortunately. they have accepted a ton of RMA on stuff like red-brown pieces (I had 3 break on me while building Unexpected Gathering recently) as a cost efficient sacrifice to get as much product on the shelves as possible. A totally different company from 30 years ago, but who knows what they would have done with the demand licensing puts on them then.
>>8799655The big reason people figured out over time seems to be the plastic which initially was bought already pre-colored but now consists of translucent pellets as base that get color pigments added during production.Not only is this one of the reason for the increasing amount of discolored parts but also why so many pieces with clips on them crack.Those things were once made of an entirely different, softer, plastic that was more resistant to stress but now they're made from the same stuff as everything else.If you compare something like the flag pieces from around the 90s or very early 00s and the ones from like 2010 onward you'll definitely see and feel that they're much less shiny and actually bendable.To me, this issue is THE worst thing that happened to Lego over the years since unlike stuff like stickers or licenses this shit pretty much ruins the entire product on a MASSIVE level.
>>8799665>they sued some youtuber? jesus christnevermind, it was some logo trademarking bullshit, the guy just believes it was actually retaliation for a bad review
>>8799665>they sued some youtuber? jesus christThey sued multiple ones by now.Hell, this shit even made it into the daily news and also resulted in him getting hundreds of thousands more subscriptions - Streisand Effect at its best.
>>8799655There is no such high demand, LEGO is losing millions of $ because of online competition, gen alpha and young zoomers never heard of it because they play Minecraft and Forknight. Parents can't afford dropping $200 per set so they just hand their phones to the kids and let them play games.LEGO now relies on gen x and millennials who buy things such as The Office, Friends and other overpriced license crap like SW.The have poor quality now because they produce their bricks with cheap shitty plastic in China. >>8799665Yes, once because of a blue brick logo saying "people will confuse it with the LEGO trademark", the other was because he called replica bricks "LEGO bricks" which would confuse the buyers so he had to take those videos down.
>>8799675>MASSIVE level.they are aware of the issue, and are willing to make the sacrificethe amount they need to spend on RMAs and customer service is not a great enough impact on the increased profits from this new production method. going backward would likely impact their ability to meet demand, and switching methods again would probably cost more in the process than 100 years of RMAs and returns combined
>>8799635>You can see how they are out of touch with their fan base just by looking at the IDEA creations that people actually want and the actual products they deliver."You want a Bionicle set? Too bad, you get another sitcom set! And you get a replica of an existing object!"
>>8798783why is lego incompetent at making brown bricksi was sorting the other day and whenever i take them apart the clutch power ends up fucking snapping one or the otheri've had this same issue with newer ones too from a lego classic box i bought on sale
>>8799696this shit sells man. i hate it, but at this point you're going to have to stick to the old sets to get pure lego outside of Ideas or Creator.
>>8799694Especially with how incompetent their customer service is.Like, holy shit. I doubt their email service even works and it was a wonder that they actually called back once when I wrote them about their rampant cracking issues - AFTER THE THIRD TIME.
>>8799686>There is no such high demand, LEGO is losing millions of $ because of online competition, gen alpha and young zoomers never heard of it because they play Minecraft and Forknight. Parents can't afford dropping $200 per set so they just hand their phones to the kids and let them play games.Source?
>>8799709Why do you think they keep slapping app integration intor their themes like Nexo Knights, Hidden Side, Vidiyo, Ultra Agents, their remote controls, etc.?
>>8799711wish lego understood that's not what people are looking for when they go to lego, notice how almost all of those themes died before the 3 year mark
>>8799711That doesn't directly mean there isn't high demand for Lego products, that just means they're trying to enter additional markets.
>>8799709>While the double threat of the coronavirus pandemic and online competition has slammed sales at toy stores elsewhere, Lego Group is betting big on brick-and-mortar retailing in China. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-16/lego-plans-physical-store-expansion-in-chinahttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6225609/Lego-sales-fall-16million-amid-fears-online-games-Fortnite-denting-appeal.htmlLEGO doesn't know shit. Kids in China are raised either playing Starcraft or in the gym.
>>8799721I'm curious what the yearly earnings report has to say about monkey. Isn't it coming out soon?
>>8799721Does Lego disclose how S@H does?
>>8799721>StarcraftBut that’s South Korea’s national sport. Much more likely they’re playing something like WoW or whatever instead.
>>8799698maybe there is a reason why Lego used brown pieces sparingly until the end of the 90s.
>>8799675I have a shit ton of these flags from the 80s and 90s and most of them crack when you try to attach/detach/reattach them from handles or flagpoles.
>>8799698the new ones they've been making in the last 10 years are notoriously brittle, you can send them in i think for replacement but who knows how long that'll take, Lego does acknowledge the issue tho>>8799759literal retard. the new brown pieces are not the same as the old ones, made differently. you can tell them apart side by side as the reddish-brown is going to crack and break on you
>>8799793>no blue armsdropped
>>8799770most my lego pieces are from the 2000s as thats when my parents bought me a ton of castle and etc, perhaps its always just been an issue or the material wasn't made to last this long
It looks like the tables have turned for Johnny Thunder.
>>8799527>space shuttle>moon lander>saturn V>all in one setYou know kinda glad I never bought a space shuttle set before. This looks solid, and would be a fun smaller build to go next to the Ideas Saturn V.
>>8799353This set alone brought me back to Lego. They've never topped Monster Fighters since. Hidden Side came close though.I just want spooky Lego. Is that so much to ask?
>>8798809If you wonder why the shipwreck has pink sails and trimming it's because of symbolism in Friends rescuing the shipwreck of early 00s Lego Belville fairytale sets
>>8799861Here is your spooky lego
>>8799849kek
>>8799912I thought those yellowish green pieces glew in the dark. What a letdown.
>>8799943overall the glow in the dark pieces barely do glow anymore, they've have to decrease the amount due to safety reasons.
>>8799912Now listen here you little shit
>>8799840if you look at the 90s brown pieces side by side with current you'll notice the tone difference that indicates the different material, i believe it's been 10 years but i dont recall what pieces were in say my fantasy era castle sets. my emperor's stronghold (castle spinoff series) from the late 90s still uses the old brown pieces
>mocfags dont press their own bricksis building creations made with someone elses bricks the highest form of cuckoldry?
>>8799721MFW 90th anniversary set is Bionicle and it saves Lego financially again.Honestly though, appealing to China is a mistake. They are pure cancer and the Chinese buy the knock off sets that are around a 5th of the price.>>8799686Lego around a decade or so ago hit a peak financially, it was selling as much as it could to virtually as many as it could and again gains from further expansion or further branching sets would be small and limited.As such, they switched to making the parts cheaper, appealing to females, minority groups, desperately sucking China's dick, etc... because they know the only way to keep having profits increase is if they can appeal to a new group.Lego has no long-term future though, getting rid of plastic is what the powers that be are aiming for. Eventually that will extend to toys - Lego does not really have an option at that stage. I'd guess it'll die sometime after the 100th anniversary.
>>8799985this is the kind of retard shit you should expect from anyone that has a lasting interest in bionicle
>>8799985Based schizo poster
>>8799985can't wait for the 90th anniversary results to come out and bionicle not getting shit but a name mention, perhaps all the schizo Bionicle shilling will cool downyes, the number 1 toybrand in the world that made mattel and hasbro kneel is gonna go belly up in the next decade
>>8800002Biden bans plastic, Lego is done for.
>>8800010You expect a president to actually do something? You really are a Burgerfag, besides Lego is already experimenting with plant sources so there's always that emergency option if it actually happens
Does lego still have these things sitting around to give as replacements? I must have a dozen of these things that are broken, the only ones that are intact are the ones currently on a bot and they'll probably break too if I try to remove them.
>>8799399But we have a Space Police CMF RIGHT FUCKING NOWNot Lego's fault you can't moc your own space ships.
>>8800020Sometimes I think people forget Lego isn't an American company, and that they don't need to import from America to sell to other countries.
>>8799141Reddit is for renders The Lego General is for built LegoAt least he was polite enough to be apologetic about it
>>8799265>>8799305>>8799307>>8799362He's trying to reverse psychology people I tk posting mocs. I have chosen to knowingly fall for his bait
>>8799809OK Chris-chan
>>8799506This makes me so obnoxiously happy and proves Star Wars fans are the worst kind of stupid, and of course physically unattractive.
>>8799511The only reason I got a job last year was to buy two of these sexi bois. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED
>>8800182why two? One to keep and one to sell?
>>8799527Whoever scratched out the watermark doesn't understand Lego still knows where they are based on where they placed the watermark.
>>8799545They're called CADfags anon. They're under the mistaken impression that handicapping their creativity to the limits of computer programs is kewl becuz you can change the colorz with the click of a mouse! This is why Lego has lost it's soul. Sets are designed and packaged at the factories without ever being built by hand, leaving it up to Lego's customers to discover the computer's mistakes that the CADfag missed while he was busy uploading his renders to reddit for an automatic 4k updoots.
>>8799609He has pedophile face. And his MOC game is pathetic.
>>8799711MONEYLAUNDERING Lego Corporate pays their family and friends MILLIONS to (((develop))) these games when actually they're slapped together last minute by se poor poo in India getting paid only 35₹
>>8799943>>8799958Some are still UV reactive under blacklight
>>8800195Take your meds
>>8800185No I wanted to turn the dollhouse station into a full modular and I wanted two full length trains of each type of car.
>>8800103I don't want to look like a retard feeling the bags.I'm actually "chadpassing" and not some obese manlet weeaboo. At least I can pretend I'm buying the stuff for a kid if I don't spend 10 mins there. No, we have no Lego stores here in the frozen wastelandI did buy 2 cmf's but they were centaur waifu and island hobo.
>>8800226>he's insecureL M A O
>>8800226If you really were a chad (true) you'd feel up those bags with zero fucks given.
>>8800236I know it sounds cringy as fuck but feeling the bags is where I draw the line.
Why are the current moc creators so deranged? So some people like to build and display the sets, that doesn't make them any less of a fan of Lego than you, sure some people like to render mocs in CAD because its far cheaper than physically building, they are just as much lego fans as you, This is some sony fanboy tier of idiocy going on in the thread lately and it needs to stop. The only reason to dislike CAD is when Lego uses them to design physical sets and doesn't playtest them first hand and we get issues like the ghost rider car
>>8800225That's not a modular if the floors don't come apart that's what makes them modulars dumbass
>>8800239Why? Who cares? Go to Target and stand in the closed lines in front of everyone and spend 30-40 minutes digging through each register to get the ones you want. Don't you have to wear masks anyway? Where's the insecurity come from? And has there ever been a situation where a roving band of chads from your high school accosted you for doing that? It won't happen it's absurd bros chill out. And if you're ever caught flat footed by some wagie just laugh and show them your phone and the one(s) you're trying to find and say it's for your nephew /niece's birthday or something come on anons don't reward Lego for being assholes with their packaging.
>>8800266nice reddit spacing
>>8800177Chris fucking HATES blarms tho
>>8800266I didn't mean Texas but about as north as one can be on this globe as far as countries go. But you are right, should feel the bags.
>jang & bricktsar think vidiyo will be a failureany other based youtubers?
>>8800280only redditfags complain about reddit spacing
>>8800251Modular like this? Less shit talking & more MOCing please
>>8800298Lol this is ironically true. Shizo block paragraphs are for /x/ & /pol/
>>8800195Haven't been here when the term came up. What does CAD actually mean?
>>8800306dunno but it's mostly used about digital mocs made in stud.io or ldd and such.
>>8800298you will never be a 4channeler
>>8800306>CADComputer Aided DesignSince 1980s almost everything is done with CAD tools - from plane and car designs to microstructures. 1st there's CAD model, then scale model, then life-sized prototype. This way you can save millions in serious business. No idea why LEGO does it since building process is basically the essence of LEGO itself.
>>8800320Because its easier, cheaper, faster and safer to design it by computer instead of physical building. Imagine being a brickmonkey and getting RSI from clicking bricks together all day
>>8799978Everyone in the thread agrees, SW armybuilders > mocfags.
>>8800329Yes it is easier and cheaper no doubt but they are missing one important point - building experience itself. LEGO as toy, and construction toy, needs to put more emphasis on the process of construction alone. Kids and AFOLs who are about to play with final product will have to build it up and not click here and there. Many very nice builds are absolutely awful in building process. Either repetitive (Taj M, Empire building) or just very annoying (Collector's Falcon) in the process. They are easy to click together but they are pain in ass to play with.
>>8800375They're not supposed to be played with though, Not all Lego is for play, Lego has evolved past that and is now making sets purely for the model kit feel and display. It's just the nature of the business as Lego seeks to expand its demographics
>>8800369I agree to nothing
>>8800076Not that I know, the ones I have are loose as fuck.
>>8800211Love it, but I have such a boner for GiTD pieces I'm sad there are no more. Though I think a later city set has one.
>>8800409City 2021 #60306 shopping street.Wasn't able to find how good the piece glows in the dark.
>>8800320Thanks for explaining, Anon.
>>8800296for bricks and giggles
>>8799368Dangerously based
>>8800599I'll pay 15 for the building on the side and ask you to fuck off.
>>8800599no thanks
Pure kino.
>>8799621>not posting the high res version
>>8800076The molds for these are long gone along with the torsos
>>8800652why is the logo racist stereotype
Custom Beetlejuice display.Further ideas and feedback appreciated.
>>8799675My assumption was that this was the result of their shift towards biodegradable plastics and more sustainable dyes. I'll drive an electric car, eat tofu for 80 years straight but don't take my fucking LEGOs for the environment, man. Personally, I really miss that old sheen of classic Lego pieces and especially of the old minifigures. That was the biggest shock to me coming back from a dark age in 2011.
Rate my kart.
>>8800699You really couldn't build that from actual bricks?
>>8800713I don't have those pieces in those colors.
>>8800713kek>>8800699c'mon Anon, is this a troll? You got access to everything digitally and you build this?
>>8800654>not posting the high res versionWhy didn't you post it?
>>8800699https://youtu.be/rBX5mo5jD7I
>>8800699i think its neat, it's kinda basic and boring but it has a nice town vibe to it
>>8800652>minifig placed in the corner of an image, rotated so the head is leaning incan we end this meme once and for all
>>8800736Well, I didn't where to take it, when I built the frame, but then I was thinking of Rocket Racer, and got me to do a more classic inspired design.
>>8798847Retard
>>8800599>$150~~Yeah, no
>>8800244Very based opinion anon
>>8798905>>8798908>>8798911>>8798922Reminds me of my old Mach 5.
Moc chandelier for pirate tavern
>>8800676That’s looks awesome anon, maybe build some of Delia’s sculptures
>>8800695Nah its just to result of cutting costs and outsourcing production to China factories
>>8800826Quite goodI need to dust off (literally) and get my ship done but this game doesn't give you enough hours in the day to get all the stuff done you need to have done before the timer runs out
>>8799233sleep tight skeleton
>>8799849I never understood this set. I mean I do like it, it was a cheap and easy way to get chains and these sandy pieces they used a lot in tombs and temples. But honestly outside of said cheap parts source it sucked ass. And I have 3 of them.
>>8800890It's a set for a child whose parents only want to spend $5 on pacifying him for the day by buying him "a toy". You get a minifig, a little raft to sail around the backseat with you, a scorpion to attack him when he climbs onto the door handle, and a chain to rappel down from the headrest of the passenger seat.
>>8800917Yeh I understand but what's the point of it? I mean raft at the desert is kinda useless and for bigger rivers like the Nile it is too small anyway. I wouldn't mind raft in jungle >>8799368 or dino island settings but here? Mummy's cart at least made (little) sense for such settings. Wouldn't it be better to make a small shrine or obelisk instead of raft? Jungle had one cute set with a lot of fun for it's small size.
>>8800944that theme was the most kino theme ever
>>8800949I liked Desert more. Jungle was nice for how small it was but seriously needed more sets. Can someone create a similar chart for Jungle as this one for Desert? Jungle had so many different structures that it is incredible they released these.
>>8799506>retards who spend thousands on gray boxes are too dumb to look at the weight tolerances of their shelving
>>8800890prob just last minute impulse buys at the check out station, i didn't grow up when this theme was active but i remember seeing lego tiny turbos at the grocery check out and begging to get one for me, so maybe same thing here
>>8800957>10 mainline sets: 2 big, 2 medium, 2small +4 vehicles>7 promo setsMaaan. Today lego would make whole theme out of 6 main sets and 1 polybag promo.
>>8800994>$5 polybag>$20 set>$30 set>$40 set>$60 set>$70 set>$120 set
>>8800944>small shrine or obelisknot playable>raftplayablewhat part of kids like vehicles don't you people understand? thats why the retarded mummycart exists in the first place. you'll notice that whenever they make actual buildings they feel the need to cram trapdoors, catapults, missile launchers among other interactive gimmicks because kids want playable things.im willing to bet that set from your example sold like ass, specially since its a female minifigure.
>bricklink order comes>forget why i ordered everything
>>8801135>bricklink order comes>it's not the one you were hoping for
>>8800826This is THE SHIT anon! This is what the LG is about, absolutely 10/10 please post more progress pictures as you're working anon!
>>8801228Thanks anon, will do
What's your ultimate wishlist for set themes? For me it would be greek mythology. Bonus points if its not from a licensed property.(If you just want a revival of an old theme describe how you would make its new wave different/better)
>>8801270I'd like to see a crossover theme between like power miners, atlantis, mars mission, other lego themes from around 2008. One of the power miners appeared in atlantis and the lego magazine comics would reference some of the themes together so I think it would be cool to build on that.
>>8801270Why wouldn’t you have a set wishlist? You can MOC anything you want. Or are you lazy anon
>>8801270ZerudaNo bonus points for me
>>8801270Not a traditional theme, but I would like to see a big Opera house with smaller sets for particular scenes in operas and ballets.
>>8801295no offense but you are a gay
>>8801270lego islandI would make it better by having actual sets about domestic island life with brickster mischief instead of xtreme vehicles and skate parks
>>8801299A good portion of Lego Island buildings were actual sets, but I get what you mean. A pizzeria or infomaniac building would be really cool to have
>>8801270pokemonminifigure scale, not giant articulated mechsbased on the game, not the ashnime
>>8801270a revival to rock raiders/power miners, if alpha team could be rebooted with agents and then ultra agents I think it’d possible
>>8801292>raised baseplateThey're never coming back anon
does anyone have any information of actual lego universe sets? besides the minifigure promo bag. I got this little promotion tie in after my parents signed me up for lego universe back in 2009 at brickworld Chicago, came with a standard minifigure. I’ve been checking BrickLink listings and it’s decreased to just 1 guy selling them. Did this ever come with a poly bag? Strange little piece https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=lup06-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}
>>8801321here's your rock raiders brono more original themes unless they are cannibalized by ninjago
>>8801228what a cringe post
>>8801291Fuck off idiot mocfag back to discord with you pedo
>>8801365HES WHOLESOME
I have a ton of sealed sets and have been slowly building them, I’m fucking annoyed by extra pieces my autism tells me to store them away in a plastic bag, I have no part inventory I just build sets and deconstruct them and put them back in storage when I’m done looking at them and then build a different one that was being stored
>>8801394Just dump them in a jar and make a lamp out of it or something like a middle aged mom and seashells. Nothin wrong with a chaos jar
Don't mind me, just posting the best lego youtuberhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRzTA3Yy1XM

>>8801093>since its a female minifigure.These were kinda rare and very demanded in 90s.
>>8801479whoosh
>>8801292>red on the backIs that reversible as a Ganon takeover play feature? Because that's kino if so.
Guys i downloaded cadlike lego softwere because i no longer have some parts for my mocs. Its fun for few hours but I cant see anyone having fun with this when you try to do large scale project. I wanted to try it to build some medival stuff to see what parts I am missing more or less. How anticad builders do this? Just order the stuff in bulk?
>>8801505Find a current set that has a part you want, buy out the entire stock of that set, use pieces gained in MOC and add the remainder to my giant part collection.
>>8801494By autists and trannies maybe
>>8801513Trannies did not exist in the 90s in the way they do now, so mainly just the autists
>>8801513girls play with lego
Now that the dust has settled, I think it's stupid that Lego fired him. Yes, he's toxic, but he still runs a youtube channel with like half million subscribers.
>>8801522I watched this almost half way through and it was a waste of timeI'll keep my focus on the Kraut youtubers and their shenanigans with lego
Every anon owes it to themselves to get at least one DOTS set, especially the extra DOTS bags that sell for $4. They have some really unique and new colors for parts, and the series 3 extra DOTS comes with two new fucking types of dual molded pieces! There’s a lavender round tile with trans pink star in the center, and dark blue square tile with pearlescent diamond poking up from half of it diagonally. Plus the quarter round tiles still feel like amazing nonsense to my boomer brain, and they come in so many pretty colors!
>>8801528This is the kind of sick person who wanted female minifigs as a young boy.
>>8801528>>>/lgbt/
>>8801535>>8801541Sounds like some retards are scared that if they spend $4 on some pink detail parts they’ll develop an insatiable hunger for dicks. Protip: if you believe that then you’re already a massive faggot.
>>8801535hey, the islander woman has a nice pair under that lei
are your minifigs safe? did you build a doctors office for them? are they 6 feet apart? are you vaccinating them in a timely fashion?
>>8801565no I'm not projecting, you're projecting
>>8798783what is going on herE?
>>8801565No, you tranny, normal people don't get the urge to buy packs of pink sparkly lego tiles.
>>8801595i'm colour blind so colour has no meaning to me, i just buy whatever looks cool
>>8801522How recent was this?Absolutely no sympathy for an inflated ego zoomer getting told to fuck off
>>8801528>There’s a lavender round tile with trans pink star in the center, and dark blue square tile with pearlescent diamond poking up from half of it diagonallycan you post them?
>>8801270>>8801292>>8801303My wallet would take such a beating if they did these
>>8801528I have yet to find a series 3 pack, but I got one s2 and two s1, plus a bracelet thing for 1x1 tiles with planet on them. I like the little parts packs, but the bigger products of the line are stupid.
>>8798783is there a place where i can pirate the plans for that youtuber's stuff, mydifferentusername? i don' want to pay hundreds for lego plans
>>8801367THERES A /LG/ DISCORD? WHERE?? THIS PLACE IS SO FUCKING LAME THANKS TO SAMFAGGING THAT I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHERE I SHARE MY KLOCKI, atleast schizos wont call everything thats shared stupid
>>8801513Not really. Female minifigs were rare apart from pirates or castle and they gained popularity in mid-to-late 90s. Notable examples from Adventurers, Rock Raiders or even green suit lady from monster truck arena.
took a break from blocking out my ninjago city extension to build a little tripod droid thing
>>8801658There used to be one and I tried joining years ago but it's one big clique. There was like 5 people that were worshipped for no real reason (1 of them was only into lego because he was a scalper) and there was no moc posting at all really. There was one person that I remember posting mocs but they were always renders of trains that used impossible techniques and colours, not to mention 'she' had managed to attract some orbiters within the discord channel. There wasn't even that much Lego posting either - it was sort of a place where they'd talk about life in general (or more accurately whinge about school) and they had long left /lg/. The users were all massively underage too. I posted about an Alpha Team set I recently picked up (at the time) and I got told to fuck off for posting bootlego because it seems anything after classic Lego but pre-2007 was unknown territory to them. I wouldn't bother with discord, but if you dig through the archives you might find a link to it if you want to give it a go. If you're serious about wanting another place to talk about lego, why not try out anon.cafe/lego?>>8801686What are the grey knee/armour pieces from?
>>8801690CCBS Star Wars-sets
Why cant we just be nice to each other?
>>8801690>What are the grey knee/armour pieces from?some ccbs sets like >>8801697 said and some superhero sets
>>8801295A man of culture
>>8801595I’m not a tranny you mong, I’m just trying to tell the other male anons here who never touch Friends or Disney Princess girls crap that the extra DOTS packs are worth grabbing one of each since they’re cheap and the colors are rare. Series 3 raises the stakes with new molds, so one of those wouldn’t be the worst to try out. >>8801614Pictured from top left to bottom right. The six on top plus the diamond are from series 3. The series 2 bag also comes with blue round tiles, but those aren’t as interesting and I ran out of space on this plate so I left them off. >Purple, dark azure, aqua quarter round tiles, pink trans tile, a series 3 white printed tile, star tile>Coral round tile, medium azure and Keetorange quarter round tile, clear round tile WITH GLITTER, a series 2 white printed tile, and the diamond tile. Both the star and the diamond jut up a bit, the same height as a regular stud top but with different proportions.
>>8801303Pokemon as molded creatures or brickbuilt?
>>8801528The packs are great. I cant wait for eyes and mouths ones.
>>8801718And here’s an example of how these two parts extend upward the same height as a regular stud. Sorry for quality but my phone really doesn’t like dealing with such small details.
>>8801723Seriously. I will get like 10 of these
>>8801737Yay!!! Can't wait to get these they are so quirky lol :3
>>8801365Why you so my afraid of Mocs and people liking other people builds, was your creativity stifled as a child and all you can do is consoom lisenceshit and rail on other people’s skills?
>>8801690I'm in the server and none of those are true, mocs are being posted daily and there are no trannies. Only Lego is being posted and the off-topic channel is inactive, no underages talking about school.You really had to make everything look bad to have people go to anon.cafe? I went there and nothing is being posted. And im not going to participate in the reacton images thread that looks to be the only threads thats alive.You can promote your channel, just don't make up lies faggot.Now i'm starting to think that anon.cafe anons are shitting up this place to have people go to their inactive board.
How do we get rid of faggots and trannies from this board?
>>8801793We can't! Lets go to anon.cafe!
>>8800834I could try and do that, but then I’d need to either remove some of the furniture, or make the room bigger.I was also planning on making that decorative stripe at the base become the body of the Sandworm.
What % of LEGO parts are made in China by CCP?
>>8801796How do I even browse this?
Reminder to always reply to shitposters instead of just ignoring them.
>>8801270Renaissance Italy/Europe with artists, inventors and gaudy nobility guard by musketeer type soldiers for characters. Sets would be like da Vinci's flying machine, wooden robots that are musical instruments that play themselves, a carriage that's an alternative to the disney princess one etc. Not steampunk but I can see where there would be some overlap.
>>8801721molded creatures always never brick built
>>8801690that sounds actually worse than the /biog/ discord where everything is just shitposting
>>8801270Lego's own "futurama", essentially space city but not as boring.
Is this the most compact way to make one of these right angle gears?
>>8801783I joined several years ago (about 2016 I think) and that was what it was like. I'm not trying to smear the place, I'm telling an anon what my experience was like. Notice how I used the past tense you mongoloid. >>8801796Why are you false flagging?
>>8801813The nexo knight unironically looks closest to a real knight out of all those.
>>8801804A small amount it seems. Otherwise Lego wouldn't have such GARBAGE print quality compared to KNOCKOFFShttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_8yR18kZ78&ab_channel=pinoytoygeek
>>8801849Are you blind, cadfag?
>>8801904>3:22fucking hell
>>8801910What's wrong anon?You are going to buy my next loicenced theme, yes?
>>8799557fuck me, that actually looks promising, I might buy it just for to the unique pieces that I never had before and that viper space fighter
>>8802033wait this is a 2020 set, why haven't I seen it before?
>>8802035We are doomed cause of the likes of you, at least I bought two copies of it.
>>8802042I'M SORRY I FAILED YOU, BROTHAA!
>>8801424You mean the only good one?
>>8801849This looks like it will definitely work in real life.
>>8801565Well, I guess i can confirm this. I developed "an insatiable hunger for dicks" long before I was bying lavender and pink parts.
>>8801804afaik depends where you live. I believe each factory has some parts only they produce (the chinese one making cmfs for example), but there's also a lot of overlap. The three factories are distributed around the globe in a way to save shipping costs, so they produce for America, Europe and Asia & Australia respectively.
>>8801535I bought three for 1€ each on sale. But I'm just bit bi, not full blown fag.
>under a dollar at US TargetsYou know I'm not a car guy but cheap is cheap. I'll find a use for the parts.
Been a while since I touched this Trico MOC, trying to motivate myself to finish it
>>8801611I agree! Let him go flip burgers or bag groceries. Or go to college! I can't stand people like him. ((Entitled)) He knew the rules when he signed on with LEGO. Having a half million subs is nothing to a billion dollar worldwide LEGO conglomerate. They can easily replace him with many others.
>>8802086nice, I'm impressed by the face

>>8801849Delete LDD\CADfag/STUD.io from your computer. Get a job. Buy real bricks. Then one day you won't be fucking stupid. >>8801906When will they learn? What will it take for them to understand that they are HANDICAPPING THEMSELVES TO THE LIMITS OF A SHITTY COMPUTER PROGRAM
>>8801522Does the Lego Ambassador Network really have the (((Kike flare))) in the logo? That's too perfect for those sycophants
>>8801505BUILDBYHANDthose programs with always be more limited than your imagination and every second you spend learning the limits of those programs you are unknowingly handicapping yourself to those limits. Do yourself a huge favor; delete that shit forever.
>>8801495No there's no *whoosh* there's no joke I missed you made some shitty comment because you're just a fucking idiot dude
>>8801522this guy is so cocky and unlikeable at times, he really has a punchable face
CAD is just fine, if you understand how Lego pieces connect, your builds will work, plus you have a limitless amount of every piece ever made to build with.
>>8800375>>8801906>>8802146>>8802162
>>8801674And even earlier there's the Ice Planet girl.
I don’t inherently have a problem with cadfags, but they do miss out on the visceral experience of joy and frustration of physically building. They loose the pleasure of seeing their hard work and creativity on display
>>8802130in a couple years everyone will have a decent 3d printer and this won't be necessary
I think the new ice cream truck set is pretty soulful.
I like seeing cheesy listings by people who have no idea about Lego but i've gone so far I'm even having dreams about it.Yesterday I dreamed of someone selling some Deep Freeze Alpha team vehicle (or rather their kid's moc) along a little section of the 90s Arctic base.
can't tell whose the bigger retard, the cad fag or the anti cad fag
I felt the bags, I'm pretty sure I found least one space cop but after 7mins or so and after going trough close to 10 bags I just picked 3 more and tossed them to the cart. Sorry bros, I felt the bags but also gave into Lego's tricks.
>>8802308Ended up withSpace cop, Dolphin, violin and plane kidsYeah, should had just left after that first bag.
>>8802271Us for not driving them out.
>>8802058Good for you anon
>>8802264guy in the middle with leather jacket and yellow legs reminds me of that anon who'd spam the thread with a couple gay bar vignettes. He's just missing a cap.
>>8802411Pretty sure somebody was pretending to be gaynon and used it to direct hate towards him. Last I remember he was selling gay lego keyrings at convention, unless he came back and I don't remember.
>>8802411I think it might actually be some imaginative kid's attempt at making Nappa out of whatever he got, and that the eupalettes are the Saiyan armor, and the sunglasses meant to be the scouter. abobe him is Vegeta, with the print representing the Saiyan armor, gray legs instead of blue to represent his boots, and the eyepatch being the scouter.
>>8802146>Delete your GPS/Maps app. Get a job Buy a shitload of gas and drive down every fucking road you'll ever travel down. Then one day you won't be fucking stupid
>>8802462Cool moc dude
>>8802459
>>8802488Ah, a CBT patrician
>>8801270I'd like to see Vikings get a reboot. The mid 2000s sets were really neat, but quite dated to today's standards, and the figures were more or less bland with 1 helmet mold, reused weapons from kingdoms and limited torso prints. I also have mixed feelings on the technic style dragons. I like them better than the overly molded ones, but they needed more brick build structure to fit in with the rest of the builds.
>>8801295I know something for a little add-on set
>>8802563Seconded
this cadfag vs mocfag shit is retarded, keep it to the discord you schizos
Fake wholesomeness is insincerity and is frankly insulting, you don't have to lavish praise on a dull moc.
>>880264690% of mocs on this board are utter garbage and there is a circlejerk of people praising each other and encouraging to post more
>>8802672Post yours
>>8802672Yeah we post our Mocs because we have a sense of pride about what we build. And its interesting to see what other people can create, A moc could be 10,000 pieces, it could be 10 bricks, the whole point is to create. And if your mocs are better than the 90% of garbage you say is on here, then by all means, astound us with your amazing Mocs
>>8799506Oh shit
>>8802086Keep making it anon, itrs amazing to see the progress!
>>8801270Off brand StarCraft equivalent. Basically a mix of Galaxy Squad and alien conquest
>>8802672>90% of mocs on this board are utter garbage and there is a circlejerk of people praising each other and encouraging to post moreCool moc dude
>>8801845YES that!Something with a vibe similar to space police 3 but with a wider setting would be all kinds of cool. I'm imagining things like 60283 but with a cute alien family and their helper droid on their way to space yellowstone in ther family trasport thingy.
Thoughts about complementing lego displays with non lego background stuff like regular diorama elements? For a look that feels similar to the Lego boxart Style?
>>8802749WHOLESOME 100% REDDIT post
>>8802843Cringe
>>8802855>>8802860What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>8802146Gotta know what bricks to buy beforehand, you gigantic autist.
Real talk now... How do we feel about mixing knock offs and Lego compatible brands with LEGO?
>>8801718I need these for my gay bakery, thx anon.
>>8802902Ten years ago it would trigger me. Now Lego quality is so shit I dont see the issue
test
>>8802672i have never seen a bad MOC here
>>8802672oh no, how terrible
>>8802902I'd like some opinions on this too. I've been eyeing a couple of chinkbrick sets that look a lot up my alley, but it kinda bothers me to think that the day I inevitably have to tear everything apart and store all the pieces somewhere, all I have in my mind is "shit, this is not ALL lego, now it's just some random toybox"I've heard a lot of positive comments around here regarding some of the other brick brands, but I just can't scratch that tought off my mind, even less without actually seeing and handling the thing beforehand
For me its the yellow castle , peak soul
>>8799506F
>>8802902I pick up sets from Ali I no longer can get through LEGO. Modulars etc.>>8802935So This! There are more and more original Ideas coming out of the other outlets that LEGO will never be able to capture the audience they once had. The quality of the Non-LEGO has come a long way since LEPIN came on the scene and since.>>8803046I used to think the same way but it's what makes you happy in the long run. Don't worry about the What Ifs in life. Most of the regrets you'll have in life are the things you never did.I buy odd lots from various places and the Non-LEGO used to get piled and sold off. Now I actually keep the good stuff and it's come in handy. Granted there are always going to be pieces out there that scream I am not LEGO but things like smooth tiles etc. are pretty spot on.I bought 40 32x32 base plates at the dollar store for a buck a pop and built my city on them. You can't tell because every last stud is covered by LEGO.
>>8803046Its all plastic, just have fun. Its not like there is a massive Gap in plastic quality that once was. If anything bricks without the Lego logo slapped on every single stud makes them more aesthetic
>>8803049
>>8803096idk could be coppa but tru
>>8803049She says she's been into LEGO for 30 years... How old is she then? Her YouTube Channel doesn't seem to be to old either. All she does is review though???
>>8803099I don't understand COPPA. Are toy reviewers required to curse once per minute to make it evident that they aren't intended for children?
is it possible to search brinklink to see which set had two specific parts in a specific colour 4498 brown3896 dark grey ie which sets had both not either/or
>>8803105Its worse than you think , get informed now
what does /lg/ think of the new road plates? I picked up the basic set today and I'm pretty pleased with it, makes a decent landing pad. Even if the plastic feels cheap and soft, and the white stripe prints are pretty shit.
>>8803124I tried to build something out of my recent impulse buys but realized I didn't have any bigger plates at hand
How do you handle the fact that the delivery person will know he Is handing you over kids toys?
>>8802204Yoink!
>>8803104>She says she's been into LEGO for 30 years... How old is she then?I mean... 35 would be a pretty fair guess.It's not that difficult anon.
>>8803158They literally could not care less. As long as you're courteous/convenient and pay, you'll either be a blessing for their day or completely forgotten five minutes later.
>>8803158also order adult toys at the same time
>>8803104Shes the real deal , A beautiful women who is into classic 1980's lego .one in a million
>>8803124This is why I bought them when they dropped. I like them
>>8803167I live in a village and its always the same dude doing delivery. Im sure he remembers me because my house is a bitch to find
>>8803124What was wrong with these dave?
>>8803197or these ?
>>8803197lack of a straight road option
>>8803193who do you order from? is packageing marked ?
>>8803214I dont order lego it's too embarassing. I meant every time I order something from Amazon. All deliveres are handled by the local post office
Damn Alien Conquest looked like fun.Oh well.
>>8803235Rubber pieces trigger me
I just bought these two sealed. Was it a good buy? I've been eyeing them for years, and the chance came up

>>8803226How is he going to know? Do you think the delivery guy is shaking your boxes trying to figure out if there's legos inside?
>>8803158Why would I care? It's for my nephew.
On the off-chance that it isn't just low grade trolling, what is a "dull" MOC? One gets that they're subjective things (personally don't find most mech or speeder MOCs all that interesting) but to each their own; there's always at least one other person in the /lg/ who will appreciate it.I'm working on another starship myself, was trying hard to avoid another BL run but my ideas exceeded my parts supply, again... Should have it ready to share in a week or so.
>>8802897>he doesn't get inspired by touching bricks.
LEGO BASED?!?!?!?

My new waifu fig
>bricklink seller tapes up zip lock baggy so it can't be re-usedwhy
>>8803124Pro: More flexible than base plates.Con: More expensive than base plates, and oldfags who invested heavily in base plates won't want to start again with a new system. They're an objectively better system, but they're only worth it if you're just getting into Lego.

kino theme. why so little sets? dont tell me it flopped
>>8803829soulless
>>8803829Any theme which has a single color scheme (or worse, identical torso prints) applied to every minifig of a faction is a hard pass
>>8803829>Not good distribution>Not promoted enough
>>8803096The female form is repulsive
>>8802672Anon why is your penis so small? Why do you want us to know how small your penis is? At this rate, you will never be a woman!
>>8802672No but really anon what's wrong? MOCs are the point of Lego. Even CADfags outrank SETcucks because at least they're trying to make their own shit and not just mindlessly assembling another sad Star Wars set for the dusty reddit shelf. You're really PROUD of only having instruction built Lego? SETcuck
>>8803919lmao ok schizo stop samefagging
>>8803884>or worse, identical torso prints) applied to every minifig of a faction is a hard passcaring this much about minifigures is cringe. you're the reason lego gets to sell a ridiculously overpriced minifigure series. gross

https://youtu.be/8JcE6-rm0SgSOLBRICK tells the truth
>>8803124>not a shit mocRare sight these days
>>8803124holy fuck why didn't I think of that? Just gonna steal that idea, with the walkway too.As for the roadplates themselves: I was initially hoping to get way more of the walkway plates without print, so I can have a little green or guardrails in between lanes. The scale is great, works well with 4 wides and 5 wides like the old Tiny Turbos. I generally really dig the road plates since they're more modular and a bit smaller in scale. However they shouldn't have been a replacement. Also horribly overpriced.
>>8803235>>8803318>>8803829Damn, now I HAVE to get the aliens guys. Also I saw some cool claw pieces that are at least $6 that came from the little lobster who only came in one massive set, so I'm considering it so my crab creature can look cool. (Using the classic trans red with teeth head and Ninjago Movie crab helmet, and maybe the new hermit crab fig)
>>8803334>we're under attackAre they? I don't see anything that would class as an attack asides from a load of newfags lurking. Or do they feel threatened now that they've been brought to light and their clique is revealed for what it is?
>>8803334When has making a Discord EVER been a good idea?

>>8803513I worked at UPS and we would constantly do this. If something rattled, whoever found it would shout "Someone's gettin legos!" and we would all cheer. It was pretty endearing.
You know what I realized.This is a 90th year anniversary.The 100th year anniversary will be more significant, and I do hope for classic space or pirates to get that on, but I won't flip out if Bionicle gets this.

If we pretend for a moment it didn't come out way too late in the game's lifecycle, what went wrong with the Overwatch line? Set-wise?
>>8804818i liked the dva/rein combo i got for $25 on amazon, don't actually know how it sold tho
>>8803318Good going, those themes were so good but I missed out on them, I love those giant bugs.
>>8804673What happened to that Johnny's eye? Did you try to fix some fading with a marker?
>>8804818Too character focused (and too much size variation between characters) to properly tie it to klocki without making absolute fuck ups in regards to character and build proportions. I'm sure that Mega would've handled the license better.They could do a better job recreating other payload maps by making separate sets, one with the payload itself with like 2 minifigs and a small scenery build, the latter tied to a second, bigger scenery build with other minifigs. This way you could encourage people to buy both.They tried too hard to reach a sweet spot between "playability" and "dust collecting conversation pieces" and ultimately failing at both. Again, Mega would've done a better job being a more figure-focused toyline.And of course... the ultimate meme,the biggest proof of TLG's decline in quality over the years,making both waifufags and /lg anons seethe every time only by existing,the one and only >>8798874
>>8804818This set is absolute kino. Just like almost all the minifigs.
>>8804871>I'm sure that Mega would've handled the license better.Yeah, I kinda hope Blizz gives it another shot with OW2 with a different company like Mega. But knowing Blizzard complete marketing incompetence, probably not.
>>8804896There's at least precedent of other companies switching between Lego and Mega, like Nick for example with their Spongebob and TMNT lines. Blizzard also did their Warcraft stuff with Mega back then so it wouldn't be their first try.Sadly I can't bring myself to care about OW2, I enjoyed my time with OW and I even got some of those sets, but they effectively burned me out with their retarded game decisions and vapid virtue signaling as a company.
>>8804863I don't know, I didn't even notice it was off until I posted and looked at that pic.
>>8804818I think the weapons really hurt them, too bulky. Some more specific custom molds for weapons, given its a combat game, would have really helped. This basically falls back to the minifigures being cool and decently well done, but not quite good enough to hit it out of the park. Size of weps / figure size variation in general. The "big" set being a rocket for playability rather than making a scenery / layout also hurt a ton, a flagship map set to put everyone on would have helped the theme feel a lot more cohesive IMO.Not to mention they could have had a futuristic large map released around the same time junkertown, er, Apacalypseburg was in productionOther than good discounts, the Dva Mech was the best thing to come out of the line
>>8804975Don't even forget the bootleg quality boxart
>>8804991I have almost done more realistic stud.io renders than this shit
>>8804818For me it was primarily the pricing. Had no familiarity with the brand and every set was priced a lot more than it should be cause Lego wanted to milk the license. It also felt like the location builds were pretty bland - more effort seemed to be put into the vehicles.The ones that appealed more to me were 75973, 75974 and 75976 because of the mech nature - but did not get any due to price.>>8802902I own some knockoff Lego, it is cheaper and has generally been a higher quality lasting longer without pieces breaking than most my official sets. Only issue is production quality varies, but if you get a good figure/set you are fine. Though they mislead people with the advertising sometimes.>>8800599Souless overpriced with additional building and mech to bump up the price, shitty cape.>>8800642Soul filled based golden/red boy with cloth cape, plastic capes and a giant golden dick to fuck bitches with.
>>8804991>>8804997I honestly wonder if the sets were rushed as hell. The boxart being so shoddy, no clear theming in the sets, the poor prints (although that's just standard TLG)
Whats your favorite set of all time and why? No one will judge you if your choice is nostalgia based
data collectors?
>>8805148Cringe
>>8805162Minge
>>8805104Barracuda Bay
>>8805148Yeah probably. Lego loves wasting money on (((market research))) and video games while totally ignoring their plummeting quality control
>>8804991>>8804997>Even the boxart is CADfaggotryMuch as I dislike the SOUL meme, I appreciate that back then, they bothered to actually build the shit they were selling.>>8805003If there was a rush I totally blame Blizzard for that, the licensing deal probably took forever and the game's popularity was already going down with the arrival of new meme multiplayer games like Fortnite.
>>8804818The set designs were shit and the licensed IP was too small a market.

>>8805231I'm not a regular here, I do think Huw is a massive jerk but is there something else to it? At least that particular review by any standards seems excellent
>>8805104Aquanauts Neptune Discovery Lab, set had it all. - Best usage of landscape raised baseplates, had two- Massive enclosed base, with secondary enclosed pod structure, large transparent parts- Vehicle side build and landing pad- Play feature of crystals interact with boxes, crane, converor belt- Excellent minifigure accessories with chrome weapons, chrome crystals, magnets, working compass Easily one of the best sets of all time, IMO
>>8805252>Chrome anythingThat's terrible anon, it doesn't last. Specially if its stuff held by minifigs
>>8805104Pure kino, the only thing that could be better are the minifigs.
>>8805264>wife bought me a bunch of "used" 90s sets>they were all assembled once and then put on a shelf to collect dust>all the extra chrome harpoons and knives are still in the original boxes>under the dust everything is pristineI've seen what happens but darned if I don't love seeing the unscathed ones
>>8805248>>8805231I wonder how they always end up employing the most entitled, boot-licking boomers like CapnRex and Huw himself.
>>8805265Sell me on this, Lo Wang. It looks cool.
>>8805104My most wanted set when I was a kid, finally got one in 2016 or so. Play value is through the roof. Air-powered tube transport system works amazingly well; exactly how I imagined it. Aesthetically pleasing; one of the few sets to feature sand purple. Combines with other Life On Mars sets to make an even larger display. Best space subtheme and best space base.

I still own it but hopefully the tiki style masks and shields from the new ninjago sets will become available on bandp so I can try and make a modern version out of barracuda bay with the ship removed.
>>8805289I just love the design and aesthetics of the set. There are sets with way more playability but this one looks the coolest to me. I wish they added the Red Son minifig or Mei in her dragon suit, would've been perfect then.
>>8805307Even if your bullshit poltheories were true it doesn't change the fact that the lockdowns cause massive hits on the economy. Not to mention the world Is more than the USA
>>8805294Shit, I forgot to mention that it includes a fucking glow-in-the-dark tube sled. It glows super bright. Charging it up and watching it zoom through the various tubes in the dark is all I have left on this bitch of an earth.>>8805310You're cringe.
