It's up!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD5003NcEPI [Embed]Our guy is not too happy with Blacktron. I liked the set and bought 2, but I can see his concerns.
When are we getting new Overwatch sets?

What sets are we looking forward to in 2025?

>>11287317Unicorn castle will be something smallNo minifigsLike pic related but no minifigz
I want to get back into lego but the problem is all the new sets I see are so detailed and expensive that, to me anyway, I'd be discouraged from ever disassembling anything and building anything on my own. So really what I want is to just have a bunch of random parts so I can build stuff. What's the best way to go about this?
>>11287359facebook marketplace, you can find bins of old legos from Moms that you can get for nothing
>>11287234How long until lego makes marvel rivals sets?
>>11287397We are getting Runaway sets before Rivals
Had a great Christmas my wife’s boyfriend is as generous a giver as he is a lover.
>>11287419Based wife boyfriend enjoyerTyrone is based
Why don't lego produce more minifigure disney sets?
>>11287421Its just a shame his wife’s boyfriend didn’t get him a higher res camera kekaroo
>>11287419How do I get a rich bf for my wife to buy me legos?
>>11287419that logic doesn't make senserich guy->someone's wife?rich guy would have his own wife, right? in this situation, rich guy is the loser? is that the joke?
>>11287441you can be rich and still be a loser, just look at elon musk
>>11287445Based
>>11287422I’m just shocked there’s not a toilet or shit… I guess because they’re all already brown?
>>11287238Wonder how much Funwhole paid him to shit on Blacktron.
>>11287445What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo... in Lego Racers.
>>11287462They just shit in the ocean
>>11287486Does Lego use the H1B program?
This thread is already such cancer. It's gonna be unusable for a month again isn't it?
>>11287569Look at this>>11287303 And predict 2025
Is this peak?

Lego dragon ball z sets in july
Mega Bloks Dragons>>>>Lego Castle
>>11287604I asked beforeWhere are the bloks in this
>>11287612Everywhere
Anybody have the Ninjago outlasts other themes doge image?Isn't it ironic that Monkie Kid survived while, Ninjago claims another victim (dreamzzz)?
>>11287629Monkie Kid is ending this year for dragon ball z sets to replace it in fall 2025/early 2026.One Piece theme also in august. Save money folks!
>>11287234Hopes for Star Trek?I expect TOS Enterprise in 2026 for the 60th anniversary of Star Trek.I hope these sets will sell and we get a lot of Star Trek, there is potential for some great sets.
Mega fag wants to make a name of himselfWill never come close to goanon any of you shitposter wannabes. He is a legend.Lego gen in 2025 wont have shitposting kino
New thread when?
>>11287647Um, sis?
Give me complete power over lego general and I will fix it. We will create 3 interconnected generals
>>11287656There will be lego general 1, lego gen 2 and lg 3Every 3 years we will switch posters and elect a new poster from lego general 1This way we kill shitposting and we take back this generalGive me supreme power over this place
>>11287303Creator haunted house
We are reaching autism levels I thought cannot be possibleI feel bad for being a lego fan
>>11287647I also would like a new thread.
Just got to both my local Targets and they had all the Pirate Lady and Wolfpack Knight taken from one and all the Wolfpack Knight gone from the other. Hella bummer. I only want two of them, but I'm thinking I'm gonna end up out of luck
>>11287671Me too
>>11287238Uh, That's not rr slugger
>>11287633No QBut Wesley and guinan?Zero hope
>>11287584The best thing about dreamzzz is the schadenfreude from watching the suits and the marketers spend countless years and exorbitant amounts of money on marketing and meme research about sleeping, only to produce this wet fart of a theme
>>11287730Lego sonic is a hit
>>11287633TOS would be the obvious choice, but I could see Lower Decks getting a set maybe, Deep Space is well loved, right?
>>11287238I like it a lot. Love the truck especially and the dropship mechanism is fantastic. Plus the gwp set central piece looks pretty close to the original cargo box and you can attach it in the center if you went. I have a few of the same minor nitpicks but overall think it's a great set, I also think the compatibility issue between the gift with purchase is overblown- I was able to make several neat mashups between them, including a much better longer satellite, and the most important thing is that the cockpits work almost interchangeably, and even so you can fully mod it with parts that cost like, $2 total to give it the exact same connections across the board. All in all very happy.
They should make another early 20th century theme like adventurers. Bring back the biplanes and rolling block rifles.
>>11287743This last wave was a great crowd pleaser, hopefully the next wave will be just as good or betterSome better GWPs and 18+ sets would be nice tho (like replicating the Egg Carrier in the midi scale)Its also baffling they haven't made more Zones to go with the Ideas set
Out of 32 boxes there was 0 beastmasters
Oh well at least I found the most of my must haves from this series
These two obviously have a thing for each other
LMAOOOO this guy's shadow came without a mouth "Only the best is good enough" my ass
>>11287604>>11287618I remember loving the knight minifigs in these, they just were bulky armored chads compared to normal Lego guys.
>>11287871
>>11287865>>11287868I have only found these in Walmart so far, all picked thru. None in Target. Has anyone else seen them in other retailers like Walgreens or Meijer?
>>11287927My Walgreens is still working through their space series. I'm guessing they'll be stocked with DND soon
Please don't forget about me anon ;)
>>11288023Will it ever go on discount? Would buy then.
>>11287865I went to 7 places this weekend. Saw something like 24 crates, 0 beastmaster. I'm mad.
>Literally live in the heart of Chicago>Go to my local target>All the CMFs are at checkout, in view of employees, hung up in an orderly fashion>Scan through them with app undisturbed>Find the two I want and check out>Literal blocks from the hood in Chicago >Meanwhile every single anons CMF section is an absolute warzone that's been pilfered through by thieves and broad daylight????Anyway I got my Octane Jetpacker and Wolf Pack guy and they even have polybags at checkout AND in the Lego section. I love my target. New sets and CMF are always out in a timely fashion and I swear they delay release stuff because I always find older polybags and CMF lines there
>>11287902No, it's just based on his SA2 model.
>>11288045One off Addison and Sacramento?
>>11288025>NintenshitLiterally never.
>>11287868>>11287865I went to Indigo on Christmas Eve and they had cmf 27 early. I was able to find three Beastmasters. I then went to bestbuy on Jan 2nd and found another beastmaster. So I'm sitting at 4 now. I want to find two or three more.
How do you guys find Legos with good clutch power? The new stuff is shit, and the really old stuff snaps together well, but feels a bit brittle. I swear the best feeling Legos I have are from the early 90s, but they're hard to find in bulk, and the whites are usually yellowed
>>11287831no more original themes anon, sorry. Only licenses now. Jack sparrow not pirates, indiana jones not adventurers, star wars not space, harry potter not castle.
>>11288028Yeah I've decided not to give into the fomo mentally this time around. I'm still seeing nearly full displays of the DnD wave and some space stragglers. I don't have army buildings autism so no part of me is looking to hoard mountains of whatever the community decides is the "most valuable." The trick that's worked for me is definitely checking out pharmacies, best buys, and Walmart / target in poorer neighborhoods. Basically anywhere that gets less traffic.
Pharmacies carry Lego? Do you need a script from an autism doctor?
>>11288045Did you see any DND stuff there
>>11288197>>11288200So I need to go to out of the way or weird places, may recheck the sneed Walmart I went to that I got some good Dinosaur deals (and 4 lego bricks) plus soda out of
>>11288200Yes, my doctor prescribed me no less than 1 CMF and a $15 Lego set per month to reduce my temper tantrums. The pharmacy staff are very understanding.
>>11288023>figs are still 50aud on bricklinkshouldn't they have gone down by now?
>>11288225Zelda tax
What do you guys think of aquanauts? Space theme or not? I'm saying yes, since it appeals on all the same levels
>>11287902No negativity in the dojo, please!
Does anyone have tips on finding girls who like Lego? And I mean real Lego, not that dreamzz zhit. One time I hung out at the Lego store for an hour, no cute girls came in
>>11288228Marcille>>>Zelda
Here's something I'm working on
The slip knot kept undoing itself. Might try something different on the TIE
>>11288284>>11288282>>11288281Nice work
>Bellville went from 1994-2008 technicallyWhat the fuck, I never remembered seeing it on the shelf as a kid how the hell did it last so long (14 years)
>>11288321Because it was on the shelf behind you while you were looking at the boy sets.
>>11288222Do you take them orally or anally?
>>11288281>>11288282>>11288282Based Star Wars GOD
>>11288181Sealed old sets. That's the only way. You can also get them unsealed but it's a complete gamble if the pieces are actually new.eBay is a safe bet, though, since it's mostly people selling their childhood stuff rather than some greasy """""""investor""""""" flipping random parts and selling them as old complete sets.
>>11288261Create/adopt a daughter and get her into Lego.
>>11288334Why rectally and in store of course
>be me>watch piece by piece pharell lego movie biopic>it's actually fun>mfw Spock makes a cameo>Pharell is a big star trek fan>mfw Pharell made Lego get the Star Trek licenseThanks Pharell
>>11288399Pharrell used to do a podcast where he’d interrupt his guest and have a nude skank bring them water as some kind of weird flex… they have that in there? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KkHnFJu6cFQBout four minutes in. You can just feel how uncomfortable tony hawk is and how much this interaction threw him off.
>>11288422No
>>11288422Readibg tony hawk in that sentence felt like a pipe to the head
>>1128723477005 has Dr Eggman, Knuckles (hyper version) and a chao77006 has Sonic, Big the Cat, Amy, Mephiles and 2 chao
>>11287871lesbarinos? so. freakin. WHOLESOME
bought the full 12 pack of DND figs off ebay after months of hesitation, 100% worth it. downside: I am now compelled to buy the DND castle for the other figs.
We are getting a 18+ Sonic Ark Colony setLego store exclusiveWe will get a Gerald Robotnik minifigure.
>>11288486did the same and dont regret it. if you think of it as a $420 set with EIGHTEEN killer completely unique minifig characters (plus skeletons and all sorts of brickbuilt monsters) it helps justifying it. Im having a lot of fun modding the set and posing all the figs on it
Lego Sonic is peak
Lego Sonic is bleak
>>11288501I love watching the mental gymnastics you guys use to justify your purchases.
>>11288507Not so much mental gymnastics as it is putting it into perspective. For instance the lion knights castle is $400, 21 figs (+1 skeleton) but they are mostly pretty boring samey figs in a boring build. DnD set + cmf is $420, 18 figs (+4 skellies, 2 mushroom dreamlings and a bunch of other brick monsters) but every fig is super unique(with optional heads!) in a cool build
>>11288399>Pharrel spaceship is awesome>Attached to a massive fuck off stand to inflate the price to 100 dollarsFUCK
>>11287234I buy lego to fill the void inside me because I am a kissless virgin at age 25.Anyone else? What do? Kms?
>>11288542If you care about clutch power, don't wait much longer
>>11288542:(
>>11288542start lifting, have good photos, go on dating apps
>Love Indiana Jones>Temple of Doom is my favorite movie>Have all 3 modern sets>No Temple of Doom anything>Think about getting a ToD set>Rollercoaster that's expensive as fuck and doesn't even seem to be a very good set, or overpaying for a car set by a ton>Even just getting the Willie Scott and Short Round figures separate is kinda expensive and the Willie Scott figure only being based on the opening is bollocks and Short Rounds badly implemented almond shaped eyes that aren't present in the video game are ass anyway>Indiana Jones is already done as a theme so no chance of getting anything Temple of Doom related>No Mola Ram, no disheveled jungle trodden Willie Scott, no decent Short Round figure, no elephants for them to rideSucks. I know I can make something myself and I want to some day but there's stuff like the Mola Ram helmet and other detailing that just can't be done without an official set
>>11288515If you’re putting it into perspective then:1- 31120 3-1 castle still getable $100-1251- 21343 Viking Village $120 Complete DND CMF set- $60Other bricks and minifigs as needed from PAB- $45 ~$350 plus tip sar You’re clearly just a consoomer because if you really put it into perspective you’d realize how overpriced all modern Lego is. I can also go get a 32” tv and Nintendo switch for about $350 jewbucks… for perspective.
>>11288546>muh dating appsNever do that anonDating apps are awful and a waste
>>11288515>"Not much mental gymnastics" in the purchase of 400 dollars of plastic toys>MFWThat's the cost of a properly nice weekend away, and greater than the cost of a lot of other worthwhile things and activities. Engaging in your hobbies isn't bad but anything over 100 dollars shouldn't be something you're talking yourself into buying through mental hoops its something you should be acknowledging the expense involved with and be budgeting for and saving up for in full acknowledgement of the "which" decision you're making between the 400 dollar toy playset and other things in life (including other 100+ dollar plastic playsets. That kinda talking yourself into it mentality is for small sets "I came to Target for actual shit but hey this polybag/small set is calling to me fuck it I'll take it home too" kinda stuff.Your mentality is fucking retarded. I bet you haven't bought fresh sheets for your bed in 10 years but you impulse bought 400 dollars worth of plastic.
>>11288560Fuck off
>>11288562Absolutely not. You deserve your mockery.Premium sets are nice but your deranged paypig mentality is the exact reason premium sets and pricing are getting out of control.
Do people only do modulars of modern cities? I was thinking it would be fun to get some baseplates and make a sci-fi set up that can be set up/taken down on my kitchen island
lol
>>11288552I'm barely above average and I thrive on dating apps
>>11288542Go to JapanAsk a woman out100% she sucks your cock minute afterAnd if she is not suckin, you still fuck her, they like it there
>>11288560>>11288563Thank you for articulating my point far better than I’m capable. This is exactly what I meant by the mental gymnastics >>11288507. You absolutely know these people are neglecting something basic to afford that dopamine fix from plastic bricks and then justifying it by some stupid “price per blank” metric to make themselves feel better about buyers remorse or being a salivating consoomer.
>>11288578Completely off topic but it’s not about looks or anything else it’s about confidence. I used to weigh 300+ and still got laid regularly. Kids are afraid to shoot their shot and rely on dating apps (which are rigged). Get a nice girl and if she’s interesting and has half a brain she’ll enjoy legos even if you have to introduce her to them. Chicks that dig puzzles and read are good ones to try.
>>11288502Lego sonic is ugh... interesting I guess. But I stilll waiting for Solaris or Metal Overlord set before start to buy this.
>>11288591I lost 20 pounds because of lego, so lego hobby helped me lose weight. I just started to eat less and put more cash into lego than food. I eat less food, one meal per day, one day fasting and eat 1 good quality meal!
>>11288598That's no different than a fad diet. All it takes is one bad year of releases and you're back to being a fatass.
>>11288578Good for you but not everyone wants to use grindr
Oof, lots of sour grapes poorfags coping itt
>>11288598You niggers literally starving yourselves for plastic.>MFW
Hey folks, looking for a bit of advice, I want to put purple pieces into pic related so it's similar to this https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dK4sCqAw5BYwsTfhVDO55bjtvY2DeilK and it should be able to close, any suggestions?
This is the Lego Cuuso (Ideas) Exo Suit. It will be a decade old set this year. It was one of the first premium/adult oriented sets Lego came out with.It has:>A very nice fold out box with reinforcement that doesn't destroy itself in the opening process like modern 100+ dollar lego sets>A snazzy manual that espouses a love for Lego Space and talks about the set designers>A snazzy space box art without any soulless black background bullshit>Knees>ElbowsIt's retail price? 35 US dollars. How did we go from this to "bro I know its 400 dollars with the CMF line bro but just dont eat bro you're gonna get mad bitches with your gaunt, emaciated form bro"?More importantly, how do we go back???? Surely it's only a matter of time until there's a dust collector in every home in America and this entire premium adult sets sold to non-Lego fans operation goes the way of beanie baby investment, right?
>>11288600Inpossible, we are literally living in yhe golden age of lego right now.I have so many sets I wantAll Sonic sets, One Piece sets, more Wednesday sets, more Fortnite sets, Star Trek and LotR set, PotC set and Wicked For Good sets, Lilo and Stitch home set and even dreamzzz and ninjago be cooking. Sorry anon, but Lego is kino now.Lego not only helped me lose weight, I also did this to save up for lego:>stop drinking alcohol and going out>stopped smoking a pack per day, now I don't smoke anymore>lost 20 pounds>I go to gym nowSorry, Lego saved me>>11288604Nope, >eat 1 good quality meal per day>drink tap water>1 day to fasting, only drink water>repeatIts kino man
>>11288613>Inpossible, we are literally living in yhe golden age of lego right now.They certainly have some very talented designers on board currently. But it's overshadowed by the amount of hundred+ dollar shitbox sets in production and the impact those sets have had on normal sets. Golden age was at the start of this whole adult push circa the early 2010s where the design chops were there but the sets were all affordable.
>>11288613Another tidbits>Now only pay for internet>do not pay for cable or streaming service shit>install utorrent and go to piratebay>watch kino for freeI also read books for free onlineNo need to buy real life book, much more lego money saved up
Ahem
>>11288618I dont think you understand anon, even if you managed to legitimately pair down your expenses to only Lego via dumpster diving for food and some living arrangement as a concubine, I would still mock you for your gluttonous approach to acquiring sets instead of taking a measured appropriate amount of time to decide WHICH premium sets you want.
>>11288622What? Focusing on lego saved meHear my story:>be me 20 year old loser>smoke 5 packs a day>drunk alcohol every day>fuck hookers every friday>one day I come here, to this board, via /tv/>see lego gen>see lego fans have fun>say man I liked lego as a kid>look at all cool sets now>decide fuck it, buy a hidden side set (the boat)>mfw its fun>want more>too expensive>decide to quit smoking>save up more cash>then stop drinking*start to gain weight, too much food*>decide to go to gym and save up cash for lego by not eating a lot>stop fuking hookers, meet a noce girl, broke up later>still buy lego>now have over 390 sets>mfw I am more healthy now and smarterOnly thing I need is a new gf but I date someone nowI also have my own home thanks to inheritance. You and I are not the same.
How does one make enough money to look at a $500 lego set and say it's a impulse buy?
>>11288633Read fastlane millionaire
>>11288605I missed you old friend
>>11288629This could be a larp but it still reads as a nice story. Props to you anon.
>>11288629Poorfags gonna poorfag. YOU are everything wrong with Lego today. >>11288613>I have more sets I wantI’d be shocked if you weren’t bisexual or a cuck as well.
>>11288665>poorfagHow am I a poorfag?
>>11288613The golden age of Lego is licensed slop?
>>11288673YesLicensed themes are soul
>>11288673You
>>11288669Poor and stupid apparently. >i withhold meals and women from myself and now I can afford more legos but there are so many more licenslop sets I want and don’t have!People who aren’t poor don’t think like this. People who aren’t poor can just buy what they want when they want. If you have to do anything different to “save money” for legos you’re poor. Simple as.
>>11288686What if I do it because its good and like it? Huh huh
>>11288687As I began so shall I end>>11288507I love watching your mental gymnastics. Thanks for the entertainment fren. Go play with legos. Got this little game in the magazine today gonna go play it with the kids. You and I are most definitely not the same.
>boomer parents have always strongly preferred licenslop ever since they've first appeared and always push me towards buying soi wars dust collectors>older brother used to be a huge castlefag but now has been pussy whipped by his gf into exclusively buying harry potter licenslop>I'm the only one left standing in my family who cares about the original lego IPsBros...
notice how he didn't specify they're his kids.
>>11288611I seriously, unironically, think this is one of the ugliest set to ever hit the market.
>>11288699>>11287419My wife can have all Tyrone’s babies she wants just keep me in my tiny plastic building blocks so I can continue to chase the dragon of childhood joy lego used to illicit. >one more set and I’ll be finally happy Imagine raising someone else’s kids. Kek.
I wish...I coonsoomed more
>>11288697>Biofag first and foremost>Post Bionicle my #1 theme is Creator 3 in 1>Also aiming to collect Lego Technic Space sets, and some of the other nuspace sets>Have Dreamzzz but only the 20 dollar figures rn, want to get more but a lot of the theme is overpriced>Only modern Star Wars sets I have are gifts, only Ninjago set I have is a gift, the most Marvel I have is a single minifig I won in a contest at a convention>But also have all 3 modern Indiana Jones sets and probably gonna collect at least a decent amount of Lego Sonicr8 my tastes
>>11288696Everyone can tell how hard you're seething rn. It's very feminine how jealous you are of someone younger than you, in better shape and with more financial freedom. >Pppp-poor! This guy is a unit and he's not bogged down by a wife, kids and mortgage. He's got nothing but potential.
>>11288715Kek. I own my house. I’m neet and homeschool my kids. I buy them and myself whatever legos or anything else we want. My wife works and gets paid bank and is completely devoted. I sling 50lb bags of feed and jog the back forty for my goats and chickens and eat raw milk and eggs for breakfast everyday. I’m living the dream. Cope more poorfag cumsoomer! Lmao!
>>11288702It's kick ass anon, probably a top 5 or 10 all time set for me
>>11288568I've found three Wolfpack and hope for two more. I think you have too many
Guys, I'm putting together the blacktron renegade and literally step 1 (after assembling the droid) is inserting a technic pin. Why are they relying on technic pins so much? The Galaxy explorer had tons of them and sucked because of it
>Get gen alpha to meme about Legos like people do now about Disney adults calling them cringe and lame>Market crashes>Adult set and licenseslop collapse>Lego is forced to make affordable original IP playsets againThoughts on this plan?
>>11288633College degree.
>>11288732Dangerously based
>>11288738You don't even need a degree. Cyber security analyst, save 60% of my take home, and that's after blowing a couple hundo a month on vintage Lego sets with nice clamping power
>>11287629As a kid I was pissed that Ninjago thrived in the niche where Exo-Force had died. Nothing else could fulfill my budding desire for Lego /m/kino in quite the same way after it was gone.
>>11288764Why not try some vintage Myron or aquanauts?
>>11288633Adult jobs. My only problem is space/not wanting to have 10 huge dust collectors sitting around at once.
>>11288732I'd be your strongest warrior.
>>11288732And how do you intend to execute this plan?
>>11288732I'm already doing itBut yes, outsourcing to alfazoomers is best
Consider this: you’re an older person, likely in your 40s or 50s, and you’ve been part of the LEGO community for decades. You’ve seen trends come and go, and you’ve probably noticed that a significant portion of the community now includes Gen Z and even Gen Alpha. Let’s face it, who doesn’t find themselves browsing 4chan or similar platforms at a young age? This LEGO community here is one of the best—better than Reddit or Eurobricks—because we have a unique blend of knowledge, passion, and creativity. However, we need to face an uncomfortable reality: licensed themes are driving LEGO’s success, and original themes simply don’t generate the same level of profit.This is an undeniable truth—the harsh reality of the current market. We should not shame those who enjoy licensed sets; after all, licensed themes are the future of LEGO. Take Sonic, for example—it’s fun and brings a new energy to the LEGO world. The same goes for the Wicked Witch of the West and Lilo & Stitch. And let’s not forget the big franchises we all know and love—Marvel, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Heck, this fall we’re even getting a Star Trek set. These licenses have been crucial in keeping LEGO alive and thriving, especially during the company’s rough years in the 1990s and early 2000s, when their survival depended on striking deals with major IPs.
>>11288801We need to accept this reality: original themes like Friends, City, and Ninjago are among the few that have sustained long-term sales. But even with those, Dino, Monkie Kid, and other original lines are struggling, and they will likely be phased out by the end of this year due to poor performance. Simply put, licensed themes are where the money is. It’s time we embraced this fact and looked at licensed sets not as a threat to creativity, but as a new avenue for fun and growth.The key takeaway? We can still enjoy original themes while recognizing that the future lies with licenses. So, let’s celebrate both worlds—because, in the end, it’s all about the bricks.
>>11288732I will kill your plan. It took me years to finally find a gf that likes lego. I won't let you ruin the chances of young men to find a wife that likes lego by making lego cringe. Only now women start to show their passion for lego, you wil get us back to the stone age!
>>11288801Castle and space alone could keep Lego aliveSo far I'm liking the renegade. The drop truck is too low to the ground, I'll see about raising it after I finish the shipThe cockpit is mostly good, but I'm definitely replacing the awful clip system with pins/holes once I figure out how many yellow pins I need
>>11288770Those are from before my time, so they don't quite hold the same nostalgia factor for me. Though I did have a lot of the colored transparent pieces from bins that were handed down to me. Atlantis and Mars Mission were neat I guess, I had a handful of those sets. In any case I don't have much of an urge to collect these days. My friend sends me Cobi shit for Christmas and that's about the limit of what I build lately
>already floppedSorry classic space fansIT'S OVER
>>11288816It's already their highest seller of the year
>>11288822Proof? It flopped anonSorryThere won't be any more nostalgia bait sets for you grandpa
I believe 87% of posts in this thread are not shitposters, I believe we have an AI system that infiltrated here on /lg/. One sent by The Lego Groupd IT team, why you may ask, you simpletons? Because we are valuable, we have true leakers here with company knowledge, shitposting made by AI here is done to keep us away from the truth, the truth that Ninjago is ending in 2026! Think about it, Kramer left because of AI shitposters, this is their master plan.

>>11288611Can't put the genie back in the bottle. Lego Movie started it. AFOLs pushing Lego to make collector sets in Cuusoo/Ideas sealed our fate.Lego stores being dominated by dust collectors nowadays is the saddest thing I've seen. It's a fucking toy company, why are they not making more toys?>>11288732I can only pray these times will comeIn the meantime I need to offload the license crap I've got before the prices (and economy) crash. Deadpool ain't getting any cheaper, but I doubt he'll be more expensive.
>>11288732I will work all my days, all my life to make sure lego will only produce licensed themes and replace all yellow minifigs with fleshies just to make you fags angry. I promise. I will dedicate every part of me to this cause, to make sure licensed themes reign supreme.
>>11288834Dreamzzz is kinoCopeThere are lots of gteat themes for everyone, you are just old and sad.

This entire thread is 1 man, at max 2 men talking. I refuse to believe in this gen there are more than 2 persons, 3 if we count me as a lurker.
>>11288843I just have to log into bricklink
>>11288843Well I'm realNewfags can't triforce
I haven't played with lego in years but I do have family who still engage with the brand. From my observations licensed IP's are the future, for every nine year old that prefers monkey kid and dreamzzz there are one hundred that prefer star wars. Nowadays most kids buy along brand lines rather than along toy lines. A kid will want star wars and avengers toys and the fact that what they got is a lego product is incidental.
>>11288845>>11288847Samefag
>>11288849I just hope star trek lego sells and we get more sets for that. Thats all I want.I used to buy classic space to moc it into star trek because I always wanted star trek lego.
>>11288855Wrong
>>11288825I bought 2.
I think it's time we actually faced realityStar wars is killing LegoFor the simple reason that Disney killed star warsNo kids growing up today care about star warsMeaning they won't have any nostalgia for Lego in the futureWouldn't surprise me if Lego is preparing to pull the ripcord and issue an IPO before all the licenseslop goes into decline
>>11288873Me tooHaving a couple mechs to go back in time and encounter my castle sets will be cool
>>11288858Don't worry, as long as they put it in a black box and slap an +18 label on it, so that afools don't feel as bad about wasting money that was meant for alimony, it'll sell well.
>>11288888Again, kids don't care about star trekOnly original ip's can create Lego nostalgia and lower prices

I hate scalpers man, feels like you can't do shit about them either.>>11288502Love that biolizard set also, nice to have representations of a lot of sonic enemies. I'd want that metal sonic too, but I don't give a shit about the tornado.>>11288597I'd kill for a metal overlord
is this worth the 100 burgerbucks?
>>11288968Depends entirely on how much you like cats. Me and my lady built it together because it looks like our cat. I don't think it would be very good for mocs unless you really need a lot of assorted black and white slopes, and a few grey or tan snots that makes up the internal structure.
>>11288968Nope, if you want something black, get blacktron
>>11288901>unironically saying an ugly weirdo pretending to be a woman looks cute>herthere's no hope for you
>>11288849>A kid will want star wars Will it really? I have an impression this franchise isn't that popular among zoomers and alphies ever since the rat started raping it with its egregiously bad movies and TV shows
>>11288987Ugly weirdos have their place, that’s kinda my point

>>11288831People like to throw the paid shill accusation out a lot, but getting an AI to make a few hundred posts is cheaper than hiring 3rd worlders now. Some lone guy did this a few years ago just to see what would happen and make a YT video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efPrtcLdcdMAnyone with lunch money can take over a board with AI. Imagine what someone with real money would do if they cared?

Tell me this isn't a better sci-fi ship than the Blacktron Renegade.
>>11289031This is from Jazwares's new building block toyline.
>>11289012I don’t know jack shit about it he series but I like that ninjago one coming out that’s only $40 and has six dudes (and the bad guys look badass and have dragon armor) a skeleton, a dozen weapons, a tiny dragon, cool parts (dragon skull on the top) cool play features, and what looks like prints instead of stickers.

>>11289007Nah not imposing enough, although there’s definitely a slight Shrek resemblance >>11289006As somebody who actually believes baseline troonsery is “legitimate” but AGP also still exists, I’m still stumped as to which we’re looking at here. Could be bothMostly just surprised it happened to someone focused on regular Lego and not a Bionicle fan this time
>>11289019BRB setting this up to astroturf Insectoids as the most popular space subtheme
>>11288993disney is a soulless “corporate entity”however they’ve produced a few shows/movies that are quite good, and many, many more that are (sadly) no worse than the other forgettable consumerist slop kids are subject to on youtube, netflix, tiktok etc. And the Lucas stuff still exists; I wasn’t born when the OT came out but I’m still invested in them on some level and the same could happen to a 5 year old today. That and the genx/millenial star wars cultists are passing on their obsession to their alphlets with nonzero success. It might not be an all-encompassing juggernaut as it once was but the market is definitely still there.
>>11288732If everyone thinks Lego is cringe, they're not going to put any more effort into their original IPs anymore. It'll just result in even more licenseslop as Lego goes hard after the "thing but stylized" crowd that buys shit like Funko Pops.

Tell me about your lego collection. What theme do you have the most of? What do you typically do with sets after you build them? What are you building?
>>11289036>dragonian storm "village">0 homes
>>11289265That’s really the best you got isn’t it… damn. As I said I don’t know anything about it but it looks awesome who gives a shit about the name or if it’s ninjago? For all I know those guys are power rangers trapped in time or mortal kombat dudes in my head cannon.
>>11289258>What theme do you have the most of?Definitely castle and pirates. >What do you typically do with sets after you build them? Play with them and eventually tear them down or keep them for play but everything gets modified eventually.>What are you building?Just put a friends set together with my daughter. Otherwise, waiting on some bootlegos to get here from scamazon.
So i just got into collecting minifigs. What's the best and cheapest way to get old minifig series bags?
>>11289339It’s a crap shoot man, you’re better of buying the specific ones you want off cracklink. Most resellers on eBay or anywhere else have already felt or weighed or are selling them open packaged. I 100 percent promise you’ll get bent over and fucked trying to buy new old stock cmfs unless you’re lucky enough to find them at a store and they somehow fell behind a shelf or something.
>>11289349That's disappointing but expected i suppose. I like gambling so I can probably afford to buy a few for fun and hope i don't get dupes and then get anything important separate. Thanks for the help.
Well...fuckNow I have to save up money to get this set. This set could've been sold on it's own!
>>11289031>jazwares bldrWhat a shitty name but new competition is good! Fuck, I hope Mattel sells Mega and Jazwares quire it, I can see them fix Mega.
So I got the Blacktron Renegade together. Despite the frame being Technic pieces, it's very open, utilizes some larger pieces, and goes together quickly. I remember being annoyed at the Galaxy Explorer, which had a huge amount of Technic, because I knew all the shit I was building in the nose and wings was just going to get covered up by tons of plates. Also, the Galaxy Explorer is quite large, but felt cramped, because most of the ship is like an inch thick. The Renegade is not as big, and feels more balanced in terms of ship size and functions.Things I'm not crazy about on the Renegade..- the clip system sucks, that's the only outright bad thing here, but it's easy enough to replace- the ship would benefit from being about 10% smaller, or maybe just having a smaller cockpit- the little scout ships are finicky in terms of their wing positions and the yellow triangles needing to be tilted to accommodate a figure. Probably makes sense to just use them as unmanned drones, or build some larger transport ships, which could easily dock there- the truck needs a little more ground clearance- it's weird how the red power plants only connect to one hole and the other connector just rests on a grill plateBut there are a lot of pros...+ The drop mechanism works very well, and supports a lot of other play functions (cargo container, mega bomb, etc.)+ Better rigidity than I was expecting, although there are still some places you wouldn't want to grip with one hand+ More of a play piece than a display piece, due to the modularity and ability to customize the ships role+ Even beyond the modular functions, just a much more friendly design to make modifications to than something like the Galaxy Explorer, which pretty much has to be that way+ 3 minifigs and a droid feels right for this ship
Star Trek is even more onions than Star Wars, how are people excited for it?
>>11289360Dang... There's my Thanksgiving plans for this year figured out!The Lego website is 100% going to crash. Multiple times. There will be tears and scalping. Live long and prosper, y'all.
>>11289360Dammit. This went from an “I’ll get it after I buy a few other sets on my wish list first” to a “day 1 buy” pretty quick.
>>11287902I'd rather have a missing print than a cracked torsoor cracked armsor cracked heelsFuck. All my brown and dark red minifigs from the early-mid 2010s disintegrated. How did the brittle brown and late-2000s lime green Bionicle era even happen, let alone go on for so long?
>>11289367Fuck offRenegade is perfect. Lego always makes sets perfect.>>11289377No such thing as brittle brown, it's just a myth.
>>11289372I'm a trek fan (at least up to ds9) and Lego star trek is the easiest pass ever
>>11288502This wave is undeniably peak but I feel it's making up for a pretty boring previous wave.I'm a huge Sonic fan but I hate when Lego releases shit sets to sell minifigures.I'd buy the Knuckles mech to use the parts to make an Egg Viper or bulk up the Death Egg Robot but building it as-is isn't worth it IMO. It's the same practice they do with popular Marvel and DC characters. Just make an ugly tank for Batman to drive and have an obscure Green Lantern character on the sidelines just to be there and get flipped on Ebay. How long until we actually get a set of Super Sonic fighting Chaos over a flooded station square with a sound brick that plays the entirety of Open Your Heart when you push down on Sonic's head?
am I missing something or is the minifigure designer lacking the option to pick arms color?seems specially retarded when so many torso prints are supposed to be sleeveless
>>11289403Based Chaos chad
>>11289403I'm waiting for them to make some stuff from good Sonic games instead, personally.
>>11289034It has a dragon so it is obviosly not sci-fi but a jurassic park set.
>>11289034Thats just a x wing
>>11289034for some people, surei'd definitely get a 6-10 year old that over the renegadeparts of the ninjago theme just turn me off from the whole thing, thoughfeels like they just kept throwing darts at the board until they ran out, then combined every idea from that dart board into one product
>>11289459This list is wrong.Eggman crusher mech has a new Eggman print similar to pic related, Knuckles has a new face print.And Team Sonic truck has Sonic with new print, Cream, a new Amy print and Silver.

>>11289258Last year, I got back into Lego after 20 years because of the Animal Crossing sets, I mostly collect Animal Crossing lego and sometimes Sonic, Star Wars and whatever Lego I can get for second hand. I love collecting CMFs.I have a relatively big Animal Crossing village where I put my minifigures and try to pose them in fun ways.Nothing at the moment but I'm looking for more beastmasters for my wolfpack fortress I built a few weeks ago.

>>11289611They will go to far and awaken an ancient evil, granted I think a Mammoth Mogul wouldn't fun
>>11289667*would be fun
>>11289629Nice AI pic
>>11288702I completely agree anon. I remember everyone being excited for it and while I liked the idea of lego space getting a modern upgrade with lots more detail, this looked drab, ugly and fragile (i have no idea if it is fragile since i didn't buy it). The new blacktron shit is much closer to what I was hoping for.
>>11289367I thought I was just being a gay little bitch about the clip system, but it definitely feels like a chore to disconnect. The GWP definitely feels smoother even if it's somewhat less compatible. Still love the set though, I'm slightly greebling it now. Would definitely be interested in some slightly larger, hoverbike esque builds to dock on the wings instead of the triangle vehicles.
>>11289682I'm just replacing clips with technic pins
>>11289611My only want is a set with Big and a Chao Garden set
>>11289704wouldnt mind a good Death Egg, hell lego is already like 75% there just resusing a death star set
>>11289682Apparently the GWP one's clip system wasn't sturdy enough for the heavier Renegade (it already feels kind of flimsy with the GWP model). Using technic pins would probably been better, though.
>>11289633Kek. Thanks. We put the pirates and one of the castles up when we’re done and I need to dust/take things down and play. Eventually I plan to build a moc/play table for a medieval fantasy kingdom with pirates.
>>11287865Why no snake costume in this series? Don't we usually get the Chinese Zodiac animal on the first set of the year?
>want to make Agent Stone figure for Sonic stuff>>>>>His skin stone and beard combo isn't on a single minifig I can findWtf lego I thought you were good at diversity and shit
>>11289814>snake dude is in the giant lantern setthey've been doing animal hats in the expensive Chinese theme sets for years now. you want your animal? you're gunna PAY for it!and no they've never re-colored and re-used any of those yet, so if you are Snake guy, that's your set you gotta get
>>11288897Justin is a mentally ill man who swill join the 41% and kill himself before his parents die.
I pretty much think I will want one traditional style Lego ship and castle ever because of the sheer fucking size making them complex to display or storeI've had my eyes on the Creator 3 in 1 castle for awhile, as well as Dreamzzz nightmare shark ship. But Im not sure, if I'm only getting one I do kinda want it to be an above average one at least. My big holdups with the 3 in 1 Castle was that it looked really cool in the Jang review but Jangs review focuses massively on how much value he got out of having multiple and forgetting budget entirely, I don't have the SPACE for more than 1 of these. And my hold up with the Nightmare shark ship is that the wings elements as sails seems to small and dinky and not enough like an actual ship, even though the hull being a shark corpse is fucking raw.

Hey /lg/How much would you be willing to spend on a minifigure?

>>11289944Depends on your color preference
Hey KKKramer, since we're apparently getting AOSTH Robotnik, is there any chance of us getting a Sally Acorn minifigure?
>>11289913I agree with >>11289920. You’d really have to weigh both sets and get a price per Mass to have the most accurate comparison of objective value.However, left is ~8.69c per piece, right is ~11.16c per piece. So if that’s all you care about, to your disadvantage, the Blacktron Renegade is the better deal.My guess is that the Renegade has a better price per mass as well. Still, you have to factor in your own subjective taste. Which minifigure design do you like better, and do you care that the cheaper set has a few more figs? Does the nostalgia factor of Blacktron move you? Do you like your spaceships black or white, your trans-windows tinted yellow or blue-black; what color scheme do you prefer? Which build experience is “better” for you? The 2024cityspace set uses more “modern” parts like curved slopes - which parts interest you more?

>>11290222no grey bird , the wolf pack must always be accompanied by a grey bird
>>11290222wolfp- ACK
>>11289871I promise you’ll get more mileage out of the 3-1. Yes get two or more if you can but definitely get at least one. They should call it a 50-1. There are dozens of rebrickable instructions. Here’s two with the main and tower build then extra parts to add another level to everything. I built a third one for my four year old and it’s stayed mostly intact for a few months now. I have another 31120 still in the box. If the rumored set for summer is half as good I’ll get two im sure.
>>11289611Well, what characters have they done so far?Sonic (and Super Sonic)TailsKnucklesShadow (and Super Shadow)Amy RoseRougeEggmanCubebotMetal SonicSo which ones are left?BigBlazeOmegaGammaCreamTikalChaos (0 could be a minifig, 2 a bigfig, and the others could be made into builds)SilverAny of the other robotic Sonics out there (like the one from Sonic 2 or the one from Sonic & Knuckles)SageOrbotEspioCharmyVectorMightyFang the Sniper/Nack the WeaselRay the Flying SquirrelOf these guys, the one I'm most sure we're going to see is Omega, if only to complete the Team Dark trio (Shadow, Rouge, and Omega). Plus he can be a set in and of himself or a side build to a larger one. Of the rest, I think Sage is the second most likely; she's a relatively recent addition to the cast, SEGA clearly intends for her to be a mainstay from here on out, and she makes for a good bad guy fig so they don't need to use Eggman so much.
