>>11586155>New castle minifigs (Griffins, Horses, etc.) Coming Jan 2026.is there a source or qrd on this somewhere?
>>11586504>is there a source or qrd on this somewhere?It's from the previous opening post.
All I want is a decent base for kraken knights and maybe an actually teal armored helm to go along with them. But man all of these leave a lot to be desired>>11586155>>11586157>>11586160Probably the most cohesive but pretty boring overall, looks kind of simplistic and the random snow bricks all over look terrible. Pros are having a ship with a shipyard and the octopus floor decoration, although it's too big too much wasted space. >>11586174Just a ship. Lame. But the shape is good, just needs to be a little smaller and part of a larger set. On its own, useless. >>11586267>>11586269>>11586272 Easily the most interesting in terms of storytelling and ideas in the set. Having a rickity bridge over a massive sea monster is kino of the highest order. Yet it's by far the most ugly of the bunch, just terrible and drab from an actual design perspective. >>11586284>>11586287>>11586288If the other set is too drab this is the opposite. Some nice touches but looks like color throw up, perhaps the most amateur made of the bunch. So all failures and none that I would buy. Can some fucking LEGO autist please make an actual good set for these guys?
>>11586533>So all failures and none that I would buySpeak for yourself. For me, the Hydra Shipyard is fantastic. The only thing I would like modifying is the kraken floor pattern being made up of custom pieces so you don't see any studs.
>>11586541It's okay for me, like I said best of the bunch, but for such a large set to have a massive amount of open space and the interiors to be nothing but a chair at a desk and a cot in a cell it's pretty weak. It's neat but leaves a lot to be desired imo. Forgive the AI slop but I can't help but like it more than any of these. Sea monsters, statues of sea gods, fishermen.. I know it's a shipyard but it feels so dull for what it could be.
by far the best one
I guess I'm the last AFOL who actually BUILDS MOCS?Mods get this render slop the fuck outta here
>>11586773I take stuff apart efficiently but have to use my lots of stuff together
>>11586610this, only good castle
i just want lotrs battle packs....im just looking at star wars battle packs like a good little cuck, i just want to build an army of orcs... please lego sama PLEASE
I feel like such a stick in the mud but man, the Bricklink program makes me so bitter every time I see it. Feels like it's the same shit every time and no one has an ounce of creativity, much less the ability to make a decent set rather than a fragile MOC.The little robot dude in next February's batch is probably the only set that has actually stuck out because it's not in the usual AFOL theme of castle/western/train/modular
Can someone explain these to me?Are they sets made out of spare parts or is Lego making Octopuss team equipment? Is it 3d printed?I just bought my first Lego set as a grown up last weekend. Pls no bully.
>>11586994the winning sets of the bricklink designer program are packed, sealed and shipped like normal new lego sets. Lego owns bricklink.>3d printedwhy would that even cross your mind https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-9/main.page
>>11586994People vote on custom sets(MOCs) created by the community to become real sets that are never sold in stores and only available for order for a limited time(and often, for a limited number).The sets must be made out of currently in production parts. So for this round of votes, most of the entries are just various castles of the new castle minifigure factions since people are excited about those. Usually only 5 sets get picked and most people that vote are AFOLs who focus on city modular buildings, so it's heavily skewed towards that. Theres so many castle options lately that more of those are getting submitted and getting through, like there's currently a Wolfpack castle up and the next round has a really great desert castle.
>>11586969Let's see your submissions. The bdp sets are better than anything Lego is putting out which is sad. Also, this really didn't need to be a new thread. Could have posted 1 pic of each set in the other thread.
>>11587000It crossed my mind because I didnt know Lego owned BL. I thought it was just a super dedicated fan thing.>>11587010Thanks. I'm tempted by the Wolfpack one for sure. I still got mine from the 90s in boxes somewhere.
I do not care for the castle theme
>>11587042>How can you not like it? It's like the perfect theme, good builds, good minifigs, faction conflict potential, a mixed civilian and military aspect...
This set is now officially on backorder. How does that make you feel?
>>11586610>>11586856same designer as the Wolfpack set currently on preorder, this guy is good https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-9/3496/Driftwood-Keep
>>11587065I already preordered so I’m good.
>that Pikachu and the X wing smart brick leakjesus christ what the fuck is Lego smoking?
>>11587042seeing all the pictures in this thread made me understand why Lego doesn't want to bring back Castle anymore; everything is fucking grey!
>>11587065People deserve whatever slop they getCan't wait for 5 years from now when the next big Death Star set is half a pancake slice
>>11587085what the everliving fuck, megablock pokemon looked better
>>11587015>Also, this really didn't need to be a new thread. Could have posted 1 pic of each set in the other thread.I have way more images than what I posted (over a hundred), which I reduced because of the moaning other anons were making in the other thread.
>>11587021>Thanks. I'm tempted by the Wolfpack one for sure. I still got mine from the 90s in boxes somewhere.Then you need to decide quick because there's only a few days to do so.https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/main.page
>>11587015Not saying I'm going to make anything better. Just saying I wish people would make more than the same general themed sets over and over again. But then again, that's all that is probably going to sell in a niche thing like the Bricklink program.
>>11587021>Thanks. I'm tempted by the Wolfpack one for sure. I still got mine from the 90s in boxes somewhere.It's already over 60% funded since it started yesterday, so you need to make up your mind quick if you really want it.
>>11587178where do you see the %?I thought they stopped disclosing that beginning this series
>>11587179>where do you see the %?>I thought they stopped disclosing that beginning this seriesYou can see it if you view page source (see image).
should i sell daily bugle when it retires and buy more lotr sets or fund minas tirith when it releases?i bought this set when i had no interest in lego and figs looked the coolestbut desu the most boring bulding experience
>>11587091>everything is fucking grey!So just like star wars?
>>11586267>>11586269>>11586272>>11586278garbage compared to this castlepicrelated mogs everything that was posted in this threadIt's super fun and interesting looking. has play features and still costs less than these shitty AFOL sets
wtf in my country smeagol and deagol gwp costs almost half the price of the shire setare you fucking kidding me?WTF HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT YOU FILTHY JEWS?
Put my spooky house back tougher. Gave the bricks a good washing to before assembling as well. Pieces fit together so much better after a good cleaning. The barn build is kind of dull so I think I should modify it a bit.
>>11587204That set is being entirely carried by its third party theme. Take that away and it would just look like a smashed pile of bricks.
>>11587269Get better taste castlefagIm so glad Nexo Knights are not a part of your theme.
>>11587269oh wait...i think you meant that octopus castle..sorry anon sometimes nexo chads have problems with reading (Its because our eyes being beamed out by transparent orange lights)
>>11587269>nexo knights>third partyWhat did she mean by this?
please please please dear god please buy chinkbricks through my affiliate links please it's a good deal I swear
>>11587277Ah yes, Nexo Knights. The theme I really don't give a shit about to the point I forgot it even existed. Sorry, I thought that set was a DC theme when I saw the jester at the top of the tower. Nexo Knights are so forgettable that I mistook it for a different theme.
>you people that have an official lego store in their country will never know my pain
all the official lego stores closed down here
>>11587207>this is the set that soiwars fans will spend $1000 onOHNONONONONO AHAHAHAHA
Made a Harry Potter car for tall Frodo. Needed the metal polish to shine up some of the more beat up bricks that I had found. It brings back the shine, almost too good though. If they’re any bite marks or gouging it accentuates them. It does add to the character though. All bricks are useful.
>>11587329I literally don't care. You can still order online, get deals, points and bricklink designer sets
Couple of bangers here. I get the feeling these might end up being put up in a later BrickLink series.
>>11587505
This one seems pretty good, it's a lot more detailed than a usual modular and actually looks like a LEGO model compared to other entries. So tired of castle slop and shitty looking MOCs.
>>11587642Bricksterdam is the better one.
>>11587645Genuinely can not see how you think this poorly composed, visually overwhelming conglomerate of parts is finalist-worthy.
>>11587159There's a lot of different submissions, sadly this is the result of democracy. People vote for what they want.>>11587178They don't sell out anymore. If you order before the cut off date you are good. They produce them per orders received now.
>>11587658
>>11587664there should be enough space to put a minifigure in a similar pose inside
>>11586773If you refer to yourself as an AFOL, you're more of an embarrassment than the guys who do renders instead.
So, as someone who has never bought or built a Brick Shop set before, I just finished building the Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar and I've got to say I'm impressed. Lego will have some competition if Mattel branches out into different themes, or poaches 3rd party licences that have been a staple of Lego for decades (like Star Wars). There were only two major flaws I had with the build:1. Stickers are awful. Instead of stickers, Mattel should just stick extra blocks that have pad printing along side parts that don't. Then everyone gets the option of which one they prefer.2. One of the red pieces for the car seat was discoloured. Not only was it a slightly different shade of red, but it also had black streaks mixed in with it. Looks to be a quality control issue. This was the only piece that had it, but this is also my first Mattel Brick Shop set, so in terms of first impressions this was a big letdown. I hope this isn't a common issue.For those that are wondering if Mattel bricks are compatible with Lego bricks. From the limited Lego I have right now (I've only just started to get back into it this past month), I can say yes, but it is currently inconclusive. I need to do more tests, but the platform piece for Lego minifigs clicked in like Lego.Mattel Brick Shop sets appear to give you more bang for your buck when it comes to the plastic pieces. Plus they make some unique pieces that would be extremely handy for terrain and structures. I did notice a slight difference in colour when connecting the black platform piece to the black pieces for the Cadillac GTP Hypercar, the best way I can describe them is that they're not black, but the darkest shade of grey you could imagine.As a side note for the other colours, the red and blue is different Lego's red and blue. This might make for interesting shade techniques when combining brands. All in all Mattel has what it takes to go toe to toe with Lego, providing they don't just stick to cars.
>>11587178Anyone else feel like lego sets are getting a little too busy / detailed looking? There's so much greebling and shaping, it's almost hard to decipher the actual shaping of the model or draw attention to certain parts.
>>11587786Holy mother of sovl
>>11587633that tail is fucking shameful! tthe offbrands have a way better rendition of it!>>11587198LEGO is willing to sell out because Star Wars sells. but for original themes, it just doesn't look right.
>>11587091With castles you can complement the grey with colorful roof tiles, green grass/trees, different colors of wattle and daub sections, any color flags and banners, any color painted window frames, doors, and wooden railings. There's also the possibility of making non-gray stone walls (eg black, white, tan).But of course Lego decides to use ugly straw thatching, plain white daub, and generic brown wooden doors for the LKC.
Not to be racist but I just think it's funny how all the main characters from the actual Star Wars movies in the Death Star set (except Leia) are white men and then almost all of the generic background characters are brown, and half of them are women. I can't tell if this is the fault of Disney or Lego themselves but they keep putting sassy black women in the empire and I think it's having the opposite effect of what the propaganda is supposed to be doing.
>>11587830Black women can be empowered fascist regime enforcers too, chud.
>>11587065
>>11587633I guess pokemon is gonna be the same as mario then, crappy simple sets with a play gimmick. I can't decide if that pikachu looks better than the lego mario figures though, the fart brick is better than the weird screens on the mario figures at least.
any Target circlechads ITT? Think ima get that johnny thunder set with the tiger, truck looks cool

I PABed together some housecarls, a village elder, some random villagers, and a chad boyfriend for the hot stacy viking girl for the viking village. I also added a berserker made using the CMF barbarian. I think it fills out pretty nicely with some more figures in it. I'm going to have to make another PAB order soon though since I just bought the medieval village and I know already that it needs way more minifigures to look complete.

I keep checking the online 'Build a Minifig' but I've never seen any of the parts to make this witch on there. Does the online version just not get newer parts or are they exclusive to the shops?
>>11588934They’re exclusive to shops so if you’re like me and your nearest Lego store is 3.5 hours you’re fucked… or check fb groups. There’s a non zero number of people that hit up pab and resell it online.
>>11588938They're on ebay as well, they seem to be going for about ÂŁ7-8 iirc
Unibricks is saying we’re getting official pics for the March Batman sets on the 9th. I was expecting next year in January or even late December, but I’m not complaining at all. I guess it’s because New York Comic Con is this weekend, so they’re going to be showing them off there.
>>11588939Yeah that’s always an option. This is a decent source but you have to watch out for scammers and deal with fb. Also, why is it a bitch to screenshot shit now? YouTube and fb are just not allowing me to screengrab… I mean clearly I still can… so why all the hassle?>you can’t save pictures off the internet anymoreI want to go back bros. I hate this timeline.

>>11589090the biggest sales lego has on big successful sets is usually 20% close to their retirement, most of the time 0%.VIP points is essentially 5% 'cash back' or 10% for double points events.do the math.

Weird they did Battinson now when Part 2 is in 2027, maybe he gets a new Batmobile then
LolLmao
Such a weird set
Mark Stafford openly spoke of having Speed Champions envy when he talked about designing the Forever Batmobile last year, which I thought was funny because the set was scaled much larger than the preceding Batmobiles since 2021 that were more or less in Speed Champions scale. Now that the Speed Champions envy is in the open with three $30 cars next January, I think it's deliciously ironic that the Forever car, as a strangely large set, is followed by the B&R car bludgeoned into scale as a kiddy car, when the prop car is fifty percent longer than the 1989 prop car so it could legitimately hit an overpriced ninety buck price point if it were done to scale at Speed Champions standards. Not that I'm complaining. That's one car where I'd much rather have a cute little playset than a larger display model stuffed with gonzo building techniques.
>>11589156>Mark StaffordOh, that explains why it looks so clunky and awkward.

Well I might pick up the Pattmobile, but man is this a disappointing wave. The builds and figures (with the exclusion of the logo) are all pretty decent and it’s a nice milestone to have every mainline live action Batman represented in Minifigure form, but seriously?! Not 1 other character?! Not even in the sets based on movies where the TITLE features another character!! The BvS one is the most egregious with the Batman figure being the suit he only uses to fight Superman and at no other point in the movie. You mean to tell me the budget would really be sooooo stretched by including one new Superman torso print with a reused head, hair, legs, and cape!?I have a similar bone to pick with the B&R one, in that if they had gone with Batman’s main and less detailed suit from the majority of the film they would once again probably have the print budget for a head and torso for the other title character.Aaaand then there’s the logo… the only “compliment” I could possibly give it is that comparing it to the other two logos gives a really good chart on where each theme is at. Star Wars is plagued with the 18+ brand, Marvel’s comes with under detailed and inaccurate Minifigures plus a poorly thought out play feature, and then this is flimsy and comes with nothing but two Batman figures.I don’t understand how Lego can go from showing they understand the fan demand with a set like Arkham and then turn around in a matter of months and give us this.It’s a good thing DC customs are becoming more prevalent, even if a lot of them are on the expensive side, at least it’s something other than Batman.

I really can’t stand the new cowl piece. It looks so goofy compared to the one we had for all of the 2010s and it looks nothing like the cowl Pattinson has in The Batman. It’s like the Batman version of that Yoda headpiece from the Young Jedi Adventures set.Also, I wish they’d stop doing the white eyes when basically every movie version of Batman has actual eyes showing through the cowl’s eye holes
>>11589007Not dead. It just smells that way.
>>11587204I wish LEGO would release the music from the Nexo Knights cartoon. S2 had a rocking theme for the bad guys.

>>11589170They put a sound brick in him so it can say pika pika. You know like an extremely cheap toy with a sound chip but this time it will cost 100 dollars and billions in market research and development because lego are insane.
>>11589119this will be on the bargain bin shelf within a few months. What an atrocity of a set. Lego keeps producing garbage like this and I just can't understand why
