>>9781276Thanks for the link to the desuarchive type site for here, was really wanting one but now I have it, I can look back at older threads, anyways anybody else miss real chrome and it’s other cousins Lego pieces?
>>9781282There might be some nostalgia there, but I hate when the paint chips, so eh.Pic unrelated>what did Jang mean by this?
Does Halo Anon still post?
>>9781276Why are there multiple Lego generals?
>>9781428TFG type deal or something
>>9781428>Why are there multiple Lego generals?OP of the last thread forgot to put /lg/ in the subject, and also didn't link the new thread very well, so an anon who showed up in the old thread made this one because he didn't realize there was already an active one on the board.
What would happen if Russia nuked LEGO City?
>>9781496>Implying this nigga wouldn't destroy Russia in a single breath
>>9781496It would probably end up a huge loss for Russia due to their incompetence.
60197 Train is 20% off on Amazon US but it's frustration free packaging which means it doesn't come with the original box.
>>9781578Also should I make a page for Lego deals or do you guys just use other sites?
>>9781616https://brickset.com/buy/amazon
How the fuck does Lego choose YouTubers to send review samples? I don't understand how literally fucking whos with 800 subscribers or some shit got sent Optimus Prime early.
>>9781670Why do you care, are you bitter about not getting free shit or something?
>>9781682A little, yeah. I could do a way better job than half these bozos. I just wonder how they got in contact with Lego in the first place with such low view counts and production values.
>>9781670>>9781682>>9781688Lower testosterone privilegesAnyways Sand Red
>>9781698Honestly one of the best colours they retired, but I guess that spot is now taken by trans neon orange
>>9781713Yeah, also have been slightly obsessed over some of the weirder purple Colors like mauve since 2012 or something, so many Lego Colors lost to time just due to bullshit
>>9781664Sometimes I don't see every deal there. So I sometimes check brickpicker.
>>9781670>>9781688It's how I felt when SNK sent out the arcade controller console to jack off reviewers who would literally play it for 5 minutes, say it's bad, and then fuck off. Never mentioning why it's bad and never admitting that they fucking suck at arcade games and have no interest in anything that isn't Fortnite or Call of Duty.

>>9781276>solar panels Does anyone else fond it weird when toy companies try to look environmental?
>>9781276>forklift driver not paying attention to where she's going
>>9781994Well that's a woman driver for you
>>9781276oh no look out it's Oscar Pistorius!!!
>>9781931What's wrong with solar panels?I don't see it as "environmentally friendly" I see it at "one step closer to free energy".
>>9781720Give me back old purple, LegoGive it back!
>>9782024Oh shit I remember this thing.
>>9781931Literally no one else fonds it weird.Introducing eco-friendly concepts to kids, even in something as ironic as plastic toys, is a great start to changing attitudes and maybe saving this goddamned ecosystem before it completely collapses around us.The idiots who whine about a "woke agenda" will be dead long before their children's children have to deal with the fallout of our actions.>(if the /pol/ incels even manage to reproduce to begin with)
>>9782034t. retard doomsday propaganda believer
>here is your castle set broWhy not just continue the themes? Lego can't be this retarded.
>>9782024a-are those bionicles
>>9782034So it's OK to ruin the environment if it teaches kids not to ruin the environment? Can't you start changing your and your own generations attitudes a generation early by not consuming plastic toys if you are so concerned with the environment? Won't kids just learn to consume more plastic?Please god no I didn't say anything about woke people why are Americans like this.
>>9782111No Technic Competitors but the design philosophy went to some Rahi.
>>9782116The plastic in lego aren't single use, tho. The risk from food containers, water bottles, straws, etc. are a much higher risk than something someone stores for at least 10 years.
>>9782018Fuck the sun that's what. If the sun is so great why can't I look at it huh?
>>9782089Blue balling adults will make AFOLs spend $500 and I think the execs consider Harry Potter castle because they are out of touch
>>9782120we should just nuke it like we should hurricanes, fuck China
>>9782119I'm being buried in the ground with all of my legos try and stop me hippy
>>9782124Stop you? We'll be the ones robbing your grave for that sweet easy LEGO loot!
>>9782024I want lego to bring those technic dudes back.
>>9782145Yeah, they had quite a bit of articulation in comparison to minifigures.
>>9782122I don't get this excessive marketing towards AFOLS. When I was younger I didn't care if a set was targetet at an older demographic. I liked it nonthenless. AFOLS have been into Lego long before they started designing sets specifically for them. Making this differentiation between sets for kids and AFLOS will hurt them in the long run.
>>9782035KYS. Retards like you are the reason why it rarely snows in my area anymore. Stay made, shell shill.
>>9782262tell me you're vaccinated without telling me you're vaccinated
>>9782262Cool Lego post
>>9782305>He doesn’t know about how Lego fans got them to sever ties with Shell
>>9782162It goes both ways. As a kid, I wished I was rich enough to buy Lego sets priced for adults, nowadays it's all "regular object but made of Lego" because normalfag cope says you can't buy Lego if it looks like something for a child. Now as an adult, I find enjoyment in sets more kiddy, like Ninjago and Lego city.
What do you use to sort your klocki? I cant decide between any of the hundreds of similar plastic storage units with clear shelves. Any that are better than others or to stay away from?Also, do you sort by piece type or by color?
>>9782361I just keep everything in a bag
>>9782361I was planning on moving to my own place before covid but now am stuck with parents as I got priced out and all my lego is sitting in cardboard boxes....I honestly forget what I even have at this point. Since some of it has just been sitting in storage for like a decade at this point.
>>9782361>Also, do you sort by piece type or by color?Piece type. Sorting by color is retarded because it's easier for our eyes to pick out the color we want in a pile of similar parts, than it is to pick out the part we want in a pile of similar colors.
>>9782120Bro the sun ain't even real. It's a giant LED lightbulb set up by the illuminati. It's so powerful that every day it burns out and they switch it every morning with a new bulb. That's where all our tax dollars go to.
>>9782361Piece type. Also I would go for a container system that has slightly deep or tall trays because even tho I bought 4 of them the little actual trays are filled up or overflow with certain pieces.Also I sort by piece type or similar, like all my bars go in one tray, long plates one one tray, wheels in one, tires in one, etc.
>>9782024Old purple must be back, also real regular browns instead of staining them with blood
>>9781276>fresh healthy food>cool fresh industrial design that is friendly to people>no inequality>solar panels everywhereYep. This is fucking Europe. I moved to it 7 months ago and fucking love it so much.Just add green-blue background with white mountains in the far and this view will be complete
>>9781931>Does anyone else fond it weird when toy companies try to look environmental?What's wrong with solar panels polfag?Like..literally what exactly triggers you about them?
>>9782655That's the thing>Little car>Solar panels>Everyone is happy>Positivity towards the futureThis is how you can tell it's Europe. The average American market looks like pic related.
Should I order stuff from the actual Lego website or from Amazon?
>>9782685VIP points add up eventually through Lego. Doesn’t even take too much if you’re getting larger sets.
>>9782657>What's wrong with solar panels polfag?>Like..literally what exactly triggers you about them?Oh solar panels are great for the environment and cheaper energy if you live in a sunny place. But these aren't solar panels. They're plastic toys in the shape of solar panels. Plastic which is polluting the Earth. Which is ironic when the toy depicts an idyllic environmental concious society. I
>>9782655>>no inequalityWhat about all the poor people who can't afford food?
>>9782668>Brown people are only allowed in Lego America but not in Lego EuropeHmmm sounds like Lego Europe has a racism problem...
>>9782668>Everyone is happy>Positivity towards the futurei noticed this way before moving to europe - i love their cinema and noticed the lack of "depressive drama" or stuff like that.Back in the 90s i loved european movies about drug addicts or other stuff that happened in dirty cities of Italy Germany or others.Now in the 20s such movies don't exist anymore. Every european movie is about high quality life and Green grass + Blue sky even if it's about person that goes through problems in their life lol
>>9782668>rats and garbage>fat police guys (in europe police guys are stylish and chad-like)>criminals and fucked up individuals>junk food everywhereYep. this is USA
>>9782361System by type, Bionicle and CCBS by color.
Anyone have the other pics that went with this? There's 1 that showed scrapped CMF figures and another that showed a king with a fat stomach add on piece
>>9782706>rats and garbage
>>9782685Larger sets don't drop in price on Amazon. But then if you want a new set right away might as well get it from Lego. Ive gotten a few Star Wars sets 20% off from Amazon and I think 20% off saves more money than the points you need to redeem $5 worth of VIP points.In USD you need $100 for $5 VIP back.While if I buy two $50 sets with 20% off I save $20.
>>9782693ABS plastic recyclable. The problem is that it takes like a thousand years or more to disintegrate (just a guess). Plastic bottles literally litter the ocean, same with plastic bags. Don't even get me started that a bunch of food stuffs are sold in non recyclable plastics, or even worse that oil, which is necessary for plastic, is being wasted on millions of archaic combustion engine personal transporation machines. Or imo another terrible source is cheap fucking knock off Chinese garbage like counterfeits or garbage "value" toys. It'd be based if we could go back to wood finished televisions and electronics.
>>9782706I wish I got some English bobby figs.Also, I am American and I love the Kwik-E-Mart set.

>>9782775>tfw i could buy this for 35$
>>9782781And you could buy the parts and build it for $10 from AliExpress.
>>9782024god I miss when technic had cool sets like this instead of just licensed cars and construction vehicles.
>>9782763What was the best pre-2000 Castle subtheme?
>>9782760>tfw we will never get an original ancient/classical age line>tfw we will never get a lego ROME
>>9781688But you're missing a key thing: you don't. You don't make that kind of content, nor do you have the wherewithal to send a few emails out to Lego to capitalise on it. If you can do better and want free Lego, actually do it. Nothing's really stopping you.

Post helpful lego tips
>>9782771Bre, there was nothing wrong with crank cars. There was nothing wrong with bicycles. The American auto industry purposefully set back the advancement of gasoline engines in purpose. All public transportation projects were halted or scrapped in favor of "lol let's build more highways and gas stations"
>>9783024Anon that's ridiculous don't be a conspiracy theorist
Got bored last night.
>>9782864You posted it>>9782856Okay seriously. I'm a Bionicle fan mostly, but I got my start with the crazy Technic shit like Cyberslam. That stuff was my bread and butter.I have no idea why Lego thinks it can't just market wacky vehicles and the like with unique colors and cool functions. That shit would be a great seller.
>>9783082>Okay seriously. I'm a Bionicle fan mostly,Shit anon, if you didn't say that we'd let you stay, but now you need to go.
>>9781377Which one?

>>9783264No because I'm not gay. Lmao wtf>>9783323SOUL.
Going to try and make mocs with the cluster fucj of parts I got from way back, no idea on how to order third party or official new bricks, and new sets generally don’t look as interesting, bought a recent set only for the navy scorpion is about all I can say but I am getting ahang of Lego againAlso I may have this guy somewhere in my collection somehow
>>9783426Does it glow in the dark?
>>9783426>no idea on how to order third party or official new brickshttps://www.lego.com/page/static/pick-a-brickCan't order much right now because the main warehouse is closed to catch up on orders.
>>9783427Yes, just I have to find him, I remember having a weird color octopus >>9783431No credit card because I am a retard, anyways here’s something horrifying I stole off google
>>9783323I can imagine why they don't make advertisements like this any more, too much time and resources needed when kids will just as easily accept badly rendered background art.
>>9783454Bro I could make this I less than a day.
>>9782700Damn, you summarised european cinema a billion times better than those idiots on /tv/ could have ever done on a Lego general
This is how NOT to build
>>9783484How many work hours and material costs? Answer doesn't matter, someone with a PC and drawing tablet just did it for cheaper. The future is now, old man.
>>9783507>those “””supports”””Bloody hell, that’s basically a war crime with how little shit there is to support it fully, makes me miss this one 90’s Lego book I had with cool creative mocs at the end instead of flimsy shit like this
>>9783507/lg/ seething over someone being creative is never not funny.
>>9783508That's what I'm saying tho, I can literally just make the backgrounds in a 3D program, and take shots of the sets with proper warm lighting, and translate that real lighting to the background and piece them together. Modern Lego is literally "put set together in a static space and make a dogshit background or white background". Modern sets don't even have good lighting or are never displayed in a way that makes me go "woah I wanna play with this!". You usually have to look at the back of the box for better shots.
>>9783512Yoooooo I had that fucking driller in the middle. Are any of the Lego DK books any good?
>>9783548From my experiences the 90’s or early 2000’s big ones are good, though rental for some Is a bit of a pain, especially with rerenting this one specific one over and over again for it’s sister book I think
>>9783507>those clip connectionsThe more I look at it, the more I want to strangle the person who made it.
>>9782864>small cheap package>contains 2 main villains and their soldiersKlocki would never do that these days...
>>9783572Why won't Lego sell shit like this anymore? Like a Battlepack that is just 2 stormtroopers, Vader, and an officer. Or two imperial guards, Palpatine, and a black droid. Last set that had Palpatine and Vader, and 2 guards also had a $120 diorama attached.
>>9783591You mean like these?https://www.lego.com/product/spider-man-versus-venom-and-iron-venom-40454https://www.lego.com/product/hogwarts-students-acc-set-40419https://www.lego.com/product/mf-set-summer-celebration-40344
>>9783591>Why won't Lego sell shit like this anymore?obviously because the baddest mainest villand and his henchman would sell better in the most huge and expensive set. People would buy it because it's an "epic battle" >>9783597>licensed crap my shitmarvel and harry potheadLicensed characters are everywhere. You can get Joker or Venom in a cheap shit or even minifigure blindbags obviously.

>>9783658Bro can we play lego together?
>>9783523Balancing pieces because you can't figure out how to make proper connections is the opposite of creative.
>>9783548I recall my elementary school library had the one pictured. I was in first grade when that book released. When we had library day I'd go right to that book and shoot the shit with my classmates about all the "legos" we had that we saw in the book. That book is the reason I love rock raiders. I don't know how worthwhile lego books are in the current year but when I was 7 it was pretty cool

Post the earliest set you remember owning/buying
>>9784047
>>9784047pic rel are the first sets I got of my favourite three themes. I do also remember enjoying some Town, Alpha Team and World City back in the day.
>>9783722Don't you have a dead series to cling onto?
>>9784047Something from those old race sets in 1996 too I think, although I started out with Duplo.I vividly remember getting this set from my babysitter in 1997 too.
>>9784046But aliens and “sexy” pieces are expensive Anon
>>9784047this, that old ambulance, and a brick box all while I was still in like kindergarten/first grade
>>9784075Actually now that I think about it this Freestyle bucket is the first thing I remember playing with, these Freestyle packs were so much fun.
>>9784047The oldest one I can remember is this one from 2001, but I may have had sets before this
>>9784047Pic rel. First system set was one of those speedboats that floated
>>9784047Barring just bins of bricks, I’m pretty sure it was this one. They’re pretty cheap on BrickLink so I might just snag one for the sentimental value
>>9784079Well, Dick Kickem is a millionaire
>>9784100You likely aren’t, Lego boobs cost a lot
>>9784046What would be some good alien figures to use? Both enemies and strippers
>>9784109Honestly, Space Police III ayys
>>9784112Yeah I’m kind of liking this dude, he seems to be $20 on BrickLink but I think he’d be a perfect adversary for Duke as an Alien Pimp.
>>9784041Adult book store and nudie theatre entrance
Is there a way to completely cover a minifigure hand/arm with bricks
>>9784124Sure.
>>9784124Plates and tiles?
>>9784124Or you could replace the arm with a brick, or buy one of those stupid new cast pieces
>>9784047I remember getting this and it launched me into my love of transparent colors, cockpits, large windsceens, the big plastic wheels, magnets, etc. I stared at the included paper advertisement for other space themes and gawked at the moon bases
>>9784047>>9784162Other one would be this, I remember getting it from mall of america at the legoland there. They had an aquarium at the mall, and afterwards we went to the lego store and got this submarine (they had a huge brick built aquazone scene above the whole store)
>>9784131and how do you make it go around the thing and not fall off?

I went to target today. Grabbed the $5 white/snow classic box and a Dots thingy on clearance for $6 from $20. Also a white baseplate for $6? Where they always so cheap? Gonna use it for a Hoth display. I did notice that they seem to be using some new packaging on the plates that seems like composite/biodegradable. Almost paper like.
>>9784479Baseplates are discontinued; grab as many as you can.
>>9784484R u fuckin 4 real??
>>9784491Dead fucking serious anonI've got a stack of the light bley 48x48 baseplates that I plan to sell to armybuilders.
>>9784484they're not being included in regular sets anymore except for modulars but i think they might keep selling them separately for a longer whilethe main problem with the baseplates is that they're made in a completely different factory so it's a logistic issue to include them in regular sets, but if they're being manufactured on their own and then packed and delivered directly to the warehouses as a complete separate product then the issue is gone
>>9784326Fucking amazing to see Legoland made a Chinook. >>9784047>Pic related
>>9784047I got this secondhand from a cousin in the 90s.Sails were destroyed but I didn’t care. That shit was cool

Guys, what's your favorite version of Captain America?
>sold 6 hobbit and lotr sets for 150$I'll never forget myself
>>9784479>>9784484>>9784491>>9784496>>9784516Baseplates being discontinued was a rumor which Lego addressed directly. They are simply changing the packaging to a more environmentally friendly alternative. Baseplates sold individually aren't going anywhere. You can Google search and find all the info you need. They may very well be removing them from sets though, that I don't know.
>>9784707Too bad we will likely never get proper raisedplates again, too fun for the modern kids I guess sadly, or that only one licensed set used them period unfortunately
>>9781698I just put that life on mars set back together and I hate it. lego was best in the 90s
>>9784739>we will likely barely if ever get such good Colors back officiallyPain. Hopefully we can convince some third party guys to make some small batches of the special color stuff and new pieces even for that
>>9784758Really glad I'm not obsessed with one of the ugliest colours lego has ever made, lmao

>>9784713I dunno why they don't, they add a lot of perceived size to a set so could be a good way to counteract the perception about the pricing at the moment, like that new friends wildlife set could totally shrink the tree build, drop the little jeep entirely, have a plate with a hill on one side and seem way way bigger with probably minimal change in pricing.

>>9784637>Maybe use mixel joints for your other builds hips?That will only work for the hands. This thing needs ratchets or worm gear assemblies to stay standing.
>>9784638I want a modern Amalgam universe
>>9784959Lol, lmao.
>>9784047Still have the bucket
Made a base for the Lars kitchen so it fits in with the rest of the diorama series. I think I'm gonna try to modify the model itself to bring it in line, too. Redoing the floor with more tiles to give it the appearance of a chalky tan & white stone texture should do it
>>9784800>Is there a guide to making the display platforms like this?Just the instruction manuals for the sets. They're easy to understand just by glancing at those
>>9785039You fucking cunt.
>>9785042Yeah sorry I'll build it once the bricks get here, I didn't have enough black pieces
>>9785043No, the CAD is fine, I'm just upset you're trying to homogenise the set to fit in with those other soulless dioramas
>>9785044Ah I got you. I like the microscale vehicles and the vignette focus, but I understand. They're expensive, mostly 1x1 pieces, and the quotes are stupid. I think the trash compactor turned out the best, pushing the walls together and pulling them apart reminds me of that pop-up book set.
>>9784832What set anon?
Can we start talking about the 3rd round of the Bricklink Designer program? I have some thoughts on pic related. I'm not sold on Space Troopers - I'm a huge Lego Space nerd and this just kinda misses the mark. It feels like it really wants to be Starcraft more than anything - they're Space *Troopers*. It's more militarized junk and it's just not thematically on point. Plus, for $200, it doesn't feel like the 2,600 parts are being utilized efficiently - it reeks of highly-greebled AFOL design meant to look pretty over everything else. If I wanted robots and missiles and laser guns and soldiers, I'd go for Star Wars or Galaxy Squad. If other AFOLs want to stretch the corpse of Classic Space over the bones of something else, fine, but that's not what I'm looking for.I don't want to feel obligated to show support for something I don't want, just for some vain hope that it will eventually lead to something I do. So this is gonna be a pass for me.
>>9784685missed pic related, the smaug set alone costs about 400$ now...anyway, any good medieval sets with lots of animals and/or creatures?>>9784783thanks anon, you're regret this for me
>>9784792>LEGO is now 100% Organic so you can feel confident you're helping protect the environment. *Do Not Get Wet*
>>9785067I'm incredibly sick of people making what are essentially MOCs and then asking for idea votes. Everyones mediocre MOC doesn't have to try and be a LEGO set, jesus christ. I'd say your pic there is a cool moc, but a shitty LEGO set, if that makes sense.
>MAY CHALLENGE>BONUS POINTS IF IT'S LEGO FIGHTING A DIFFERENT TOY BRANDI only have a charity shop bucket of random lego so I can't make anything big, so have a small backdroppy thing of some cowboys assaulting a starwars-ish space base.
Good morning /lg/Time to make some four-wide vehicles for a moc I'm working on.
>>9785079I have Helm's Deep, Moria and Bag End :)
>>9785162Guessing you got this from reddit
>>9785162I love it when people have expensive display cases and collectibles but have no idea how to arrange the collectibles inside the case in a way that looks good. They just sadly try to fill the space, no other thought
>>9785162ammm....... souless department?
>>9785162If I was into sw legos I can see myself getting that big mos eisley and expanding it into more of a town, with some hangars and other buildings.
>>9785162>most star wars sets are just a big chunk of greythe blond bitch's right
>>9785162Remind me why do normalfags love SW so much? Even capeshit isn't that popular?
>>9785147Godspeed
>>9785162God why are they all so boring
>>9785135>I'm incredibly sick of people making what are essentially MOCs and then asking for idea votes.Fuck off licensefaggot, I'd rather a thousand MOCs over another sitcom set or a soulless kpop pandering set
>>9784528They’ve been making them for years.
>>9783403It’s only gay if you’re a man. Or the bottom.
>>9785162About $6,000 in LEGO there.
>>9785162I hate how all the big ships are just clustered together on the bottom shelf, they should be on separate shelves near the top for the most visible display (hell you could have the Star Destroyer with the mini Tantive IV as its own separate display.
>>9785090>Expiration date on box>Vague hemp smell
>>9785233And Ospreys. But at the same time they have no military rule. Red Baron tri-plane wanted to say hello.
>>9785162>Dustccollectors.jpg
>>9785274>no military ruleThis doesn’t apply to Marvel and SW
>>9785191Are you colorblind? Most of those sets aren’t gray. There’s like 6 gray sets but the rest are more colorful.
>>9785187I have the Cantina, also considering making some Tatooine display
Recently picked this up, and I have never had such an enjoyable building experience. I'm tempted to get the other two sets, but I'm on the fence about shelling out ~ $2,000.
>>9782700>noticed the lack of "depressive drama" or stuff like thatMust be continental Europe thing since in Scandinavia even comedies have depressive edge on them.
>>9785336I really want to get this, but I haven't even build Docks yet because I have no place for it, and probably not for Gardens either for that matter.
>>9784707I think they're changing the SKU. The white baseplate has the new packaging and a new number.>>9784832Lol what kind of retard would ship it like that?>>9785187That's what I'm gonna do when it arrives. The cantina is oversized but just enough parts to make smaller MOCs.
>>9785213Because it's literally Cowboys and Samurai in space.
>>9785339You should. I say this about most sets, but the pictures don't come close to doing this build justice. It looks almost as good from the back as it does the front, and it is a dynamic building experience, unlike sets like the Daily Bugle. Get it before it retires, and throw it in your closet. I'm kicking myself for missing out on the docks and that one other one.
>>9785162Cantina is the only set that really grabs your attention imo. It seems to have more life in it as it has an open interior filled with things. The animals and figs give it more life too.
>>9785336city + docks wouldn't be $2k if you're smart/patient. it will be sooner than later, but right now you should be able to get the two for like $1k-ish.
>>9785336that's awesome, i was impressed by this build and other big builds (i wanted welcome to apocalypseburg for a while) but i just don't have the space to display itwhere will you put it?
>>9785135>"I'm retarded and don't understand the point of the bricklink designer's program"
>>9785336They're really great. I wouldn't pay more than retail, though.
>>9785360Perhaps, but I am whore for getting sets in their boxes. I need to get over that inclination.>>9785363Thanks, anon. All of the different buildings that comprise this set make for an engaging build experience. I don't have much room in my current place, but this was part of my old set up.
>>9785391Fortunately, picked it up for retail. Damn, those look phenomenal together. Well done, and congrats on having a sweet collection.
>>9785399>soundstickskek, tells me everything I need to know about you.
>>9785405Damn you carl! No need to tell you I'm a macfag, I guess.

>>9785079Why must the best wyvern or dragon wings and general dragon be locked behind some random hobbit set
I got the Jur Assic park poly bag thingy. Baby dino and egg and mosquito
>>9784905Maybe because Lego is run by the worst idiots currently alive, like seriously guys want baseplates a lot more than stupid vehicles and stuff to actually do cool stuff on

>>9785546>does anybody know when they stopped using those?Because they're greedy fucks and want you to buy as many as possible, you dumbfuck.
>>9785547I said when, not why you fucking retard. kill yourself you illiterate fuck.

>>9785650Your best bet is to buy the set and then sell the figs after the fact.
>>9781720wheres Lilac?
>>9785685I have no idea, it’s missing a lot of other good purples and such besides mauve, lilac, magenta, and a lot more I can’t think of off the top of my head

>>9785550there's ninja. they save the world with mechs and vehicles. the white one is a robot the cyan one is a girl and the green one is the specialestthere you go that's all there is to it
>>9785162The best set there by far is the Cantina without competition
>>9785079my dark ages ended right at the moment lotr sets were released. i've got the whole fellowship displayed and managed to snipe the smaug set (sealed) for retail 2 years ago.
>>9785281So Megatron tank is a shoe-in next year ?
>>9785553Leard to read, retort.>>9785558Kino
>>9785773>Megatron is a Lego gunImagine how stupid that shit would be, though a minifig sized Walter P38 would be useful for spy sets
>>9785515*jabberwock
>>9785644I can't even remember the last time a thread was in autosage while reaching the image limit, so shut the fuck up.
They finally did it.
>>9785784It would be a fucking RL item in Lego and you how much TLG loves those, but as you said a minifig version would be neat
>>9785872?? who/where?

>>9785919A little itty bitty scope piece on it would be a fun thing as well, though going full with the barrel extender and back handle thing would be overkill
>>9786059M8 we aren't getting that amount of goats until lego wants to virtue signal to the sand niggers like they have with the Chinese.
>>9785515Gonna copy this~
>>9782980got more Lego infographics?
>>9783507the fuck is that wheel to car width ratio?
>>9784047This old suitcase shaped box with three green baseplate lids. Had a bunch of random bricks that eventually got mixed up with other sets I got over time
>>9784120how come no one uses a normal minfig head on his outfit?
>>9785534>>9785536>>9785577Thank you!Yeah it's a real weird-ass dragon thing in DnD. Pic related.>>9785788Yeah I'm an idiot. Good catch.>>9786178Go for it. All the build techniques I used are mostly visable, so it shouldn't be too hard to reverse engineer.The inside of the legs use balljoint pieces, both the plates and the ball/rod pieces to connect it to the body.
>>9786213They just don’t really think outside of the system unlike you Anon
>>9786226>DnDIt's from Alice in Wonderland
>saw a star wars fig lot>Had Dooku and the Wampa, like $45 and $20 each>Final bid was $70Star Shit should not be this expensive>>9786161Oh quoted the wrong person.
>>9786415Yeah the chrome lightsaber should be like 3 or 4 at max dollars,
>>9782760Which version of Football has the players running around with a tonfa?

Here are my thoughts on the bricklink designer sets. I'm trying to gauge which ones will actually go through before the preorders so I'm keen to hear others thoughts as well. I've had time to save up some money for these, so will probably preorder whatever's likely to go through.I really like:Train StationSteam Powered ScienceI like:Winter Chalet1950's dinerI have mixed feelings on:Mountain View Observatory (Looks small for price)Modular Construction Site I don't like:Brickwest Studios (Saloon looks bland)Working Waterfall (Cliff looks shit)Space Troopers (Looks ass)
Welp, got somewhere with my transformer.
>>9786648Proof of concept for now. I'll get the right number of pieces in the right colors eventually.
>>9786653SYMMETRICAL UNDOCKING!
>>9786656AND BIG STEPPYCan you guess the non TF robot I based these legs on? Hint: his feet will be two big halves and it might end up red.
>>9786644They all suck, do another run of castle in the forest instead.
>>9784047i wish I could buy this again...
>>9786760forgot pic >>9786760>>9784047Maybe I shouldn't spend $270 to get it back again...
>>9786365Well, yes, I know that, but I was saying the version I was basing my build off of is the one from one of the DnD Adventure modules.
>>9786644The diner will make it 100% just because of the price point. I also think the construction site will make it since modulars are so popular.
>>9786823The Diner is definitely going to be the first one to reach goal.I think this round's winners, from top to bottom are going to be;1. 1950s Diner2. Winter Chalet3. Working Waterfall4. Train Station5. Observatory They squeezed too many of the huge sets to compete against one another in the final round. When the goal is quantity of sale and not total amount, the larger sets are at a disadvantage. The steam punk lab and brickwest studios seem the coolest to me, but I don't have my hopes up.
>$160 tresholdWell, guess I won't be getting this after all
>>9786865>$160 for that thatPlease tell me I'm not reading right
>>9786882You have to buy $160 worth of other Lego and then get that for free.
>>9786883That is hilariously bad>Stickers everywhere>203 piecelollmao even
>>9786882It's a gift with purchase of 160 USD or more, dingus.
>>9786841It's kinda funny because a lot of people seem to think the waterfall will make it. It's actually one of the few I could never see making it though. Construction site on the other hand seems to be one of the more unpopular ones overall despite being the main one I'm focused on. I'm not too sure this round will bode well for me.
>>9782744>It'd be based if we could go back to wood finished televisions and electronics.My niger, I miss that shit like you wouldn't believe.>>9784550>>9784569>>9784047SOUL>>9784325Good luck skeleton!
>>9786924I just hope that steam powered science makes it.
>>9783657Any reason you didn't bring them?I know that feel anon.I even went on some longer vacations where I actually missed my Lego dudes and girls lol. So after that I often brought some with me.Did you check out the latest friends postmodern house/street sets? The dolls I don't care for but they come with several layers of houses in wacky neon colours and brickbuilt 90's graphicdesign. Your street (that I still remember) looks a bit more conventional in terms of base architecture though.
>>9784094I LOVED these bikes as a kid and almost forgot about them. Was never a huge duplo kid(my mom collected fisherprice little people sets that felt similar and were ultra based) and got introduced to Lego pretty early on, but these bikes were just so cool thick and chunky looking. Vroomed those around on the floor a ton.It's excacerbated by the fact they're thick wide and seem extra low because of it. That's my gripe with the newer bikes of Lego. They sit just too high for my liking. The old 80s bikes felt more proportionate atleast for what i like doing scale wise. The fabuland bikes come close when you sit a figure down in them.Although I will say these new flywheel ones are based and really fun as well. The different sized wheels makes them look funny in the first place so I don't mind them as more stunty clown type frankenstein bikes. Curious to get my hands on the stuntz "american police travel/chopper" farings as they cover up the rear tire behind faring mostly. I though that was a neat compromise and hope they make it fun colours.

>>9787133Thanks for the info. Has anyone tried making a missing parts complaint through their website recently? I tried twice in the last 3 weeks but it says it hasn't passed their verification. Someone else from a facebook group in my country had a similar problem last week. I wonder if it's down too because PaB is partly down or I somehow got blacklisted even though I've only done a missing parts complaint twice and that was over a year ago.
>>9787193Yes. I should study sad tracks to see what should to there
>>9787216>It's another "Anon listens to lo-fi study music before ODing on medication" episode
Stage anon here. I'm currently trying to build speakers. I want them to be able to arch back. The design I came up with looks great but it's not really sturdy. Does anyone got an Idea how I can retain the design and make it more robust?
>>9787241Just add these to the back top and bottom and you're probably fine
>>9787241>>9787247I also just realized the bottom isn't identical to the top - for the middle, add a 2x4 plate to the back, and for the bottom, add a 1x4 plate to the bottom.
>>9787241Modify this a little, and it could slope to the angle you want.
>>9787260
>>9787261
>>9787247>>9787251Fuck. That's literally the hardest part of the entire build.

>>9787267Okay I think I figured it out. Picrel is stable. I used 2 headlightbricks with bars.
>>9785488Retard. It's not that they don't think people want baseplates. It's that they don't like making them because TLG are slimey cheap merchants. They either want >people to pay ridiculously high prices for their new and awkwardly tall road systemOR>pic related
Hey clown Anon, found you a perfect outfit.
>>9787375I'm not clown anon but that really is a good clown outfit. Good find
>>9786924Waterfall is the one I see most selling as a parts pack. Dark blueish grey is the most in-demand color for mocs.
>>9786644I just got alerted by Lego about the designer sets solely because I had supported Space Troopers originally.I would have never guessed the set they're selling is the one I had supported. I know the aliens weren't happening, but where did the orbital drop pods and tank vehicles go? The version they're selling looks so...bland. And clearly designed to grab Classic Space fans.
>>9787473This looks so good what the fuck...
>>9787473>bunch of parts that either don't exist or aren't currently in productionGee, I wonder.
>>9785079Are you actually implying you sold two Helms deep sets plus the other 4 for only $150??How long ago did you sell them, and why for so cheap?
>>9787352what the fuck is this shit, toilet paper?
Do normalfags really find building hard? You just fucking follow instructions.
>>9783059He's Gumby, damn it!
>>9787457It's unfortunate because coupled with the decent pieces comes a good price point too which almost assures it will make it. The killer this round was all the high dollar sets. People will fund all the cheaper ones and pick a single expensive one to fund.
>>9787612When I was younger I would always be annoyed when my parents would congratulate me on finishing a set that was large or seemed complex, with the way they would congratulate me it seemed like they thought I had just designed it completely myself. I wouldn't say there are any sets that are actually "hard" to build, maybe some are annoying or repetitive or have components that are a bit weak at first but nothing that is actually challenging.
>>9787599It's a roll of tape you can play on! Much better than baseplates!

>>9787612>Do normalfags really find building hard? Probably, normalfags only buy sets to use them as paperweights and dust collectors.For me, building complicated sets is either boring or tedious. The only time time I found a set hard was building Hogsmead village visit when assembling the roof, it would keep breaking when I was trying to attach it.
>>9787204Their excuse is pab and b&p are getting merged and are having problems, I had an older placed before any of the closures fucked with via shipping only the best seller bits, cancelled the gwp and only just have sent the other half, I have gotten 3k vip points for bitching at CS.
