>>11734722>maxifigure SOVL in the OPBased, I had this set! You could steer it by turning the siren thingy.
Sneaky leak of the triceratops skeleton if you look at the sign right at the beginning of the ad
do you reckon its gonna move like the pacman one?
>>11734794Eat shit and die spamboi.
Zoomer who broke out of his dark ages awhile ago, decided I wanted to start collecting vintage sets (anything pre fleshie era). As I've been getting back into the hobby these past few months something that has stood out to me is just how disppropotionate the demand for classic city is compared to every other vintage theme. Trying to collect for space, castle, pirates, western, or basically any other system theme is insanely costly but whenever I look into city it's dirt cheap in comparison. I always imagined city as a theme has been lego's most dominant original theme, I guess until Bioncle or Ninjago I guess, why is there no market for this theme? For modern city builders I guess I can see why they wouldn't want the visual clash but do classic city diorama people just not exist?
>>11734794my guess is it's the "expensive, 1st, only-option-at-the-time" to get Mario MINIFIG FINALLY!!! AAAHHH!!!!!can't blame them for doing it. if it works, it works. why blow the Mario minifig launch on a $80 set when you can milk it for twice as much?
>>11734808>do classic city diorama people just not exist?They do, but there was far more City sets made so they are easier to come by vs the old cult classic lines
Lego Hololive when?
>>11734808my guess would be that people who would be nostalgic about these sets already got nostalgic around a decade ago or earlier
>>11734906we need more schizophrenic Indonesians in our hobby
>>11734808I'd say it is because for old, more vintage city, the pieces and elements are mostly pretty basic, and can be pretty easily acquired. Space, Castle, and Pirates all had a lot of unusual, specific parts, pieces, and minifigures.
Recent hauls?Finally completed my studios horror collection and found a copy of 1382 with the box. Sadly more then I was hoping for but the box and parts are in pretty good condition so I said fuck it.
>>11734921I haven't touched lego in months
I made lil robot things
>>11734945Hell yeah
>>11734945What piece is used for the eyes?
>>11734949Looks like a microphone
>>11734951I think the perspective or lighting fucked me up, looking closer I see the grey technic pins behind them now.
>>11734452Today i built 42167
>>11734945ERM WHERE ARE THE STUDS? WHY BUILD LEGO THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE LEGO???
>>11734959Now post actual sets doing build techniques anywhere near as creative as this.
>>11734951>>11734953Its mics with 1x1 studs with a hole in them on the other side.
>>1173495667 haha
>>11734945Cute
>>11734921I built the Surprising Spider. There was an extra GITD fang so i turned his web string into a little spider hookshot.>>11734945He cute
What yellow head would you use for this fig?
Serious question here. Lego technically qualifies torsos as the hands, arms, and torso and legs as the waist and legs. If you separate these these elements into combinations lego has never officially released does that count as "illegal"?
>>11734808I have that carwash.
>>11734977It's debatably heresy if you're extra autistic but I don't think it counts as an illegal building techniqueThough replacing arms/legs does risk damaging them if you do it wrong
Imagine if the minifigure legs only had one pin in the middle which would allow you to rotate the torso. It would be so kino
>>11734556 #>jurassic park 2 and 3Wait, waves or like the movies? I’ve wanted TLW sets for a while
Why does /lg/ seethe about 18+ sets?
>>11734998Too poor to afford them
>>11735000Couldn’t be meI thought the T. rex skeleton was fun as fuck to build.
>>11734977the Queer Eye set had torsos without hands, and pictures on the box show the hands having been swapped between them.(I did not purchase the set to verify if it includes hand-less torsos)
>triceratops fossil set is a bit over a third of the price and size of the T. rex fossil setHuh, must be a very small triceratops.
>>11735002https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAWVBMuepMUAccording to this random review the real torso assemblies do actually have hands attachedhe even calls taking the hands out an illegal technique, so that might be the answer. This guy seems knowledgeable about those sorts of things
Did Iran or China do Lego propaganda videos better? And will TLG sue either of them?
>>11734808It's a combination of>more town sets were made over a longer time period than other themes>town is more boring to most people since it's mundane, so less are interested in it>of those who are interested in town, most do modern City, modular buildings, etc>lots of town sets are unnecessary repeats to the modern builder, eg you don't need more than a couple of fire trucks for your whole town but Lego fire trucks have always been plentiful. Because of this, classic town builders probably just make their own generic buildings out of standard bricks and baseplates instead of using sets. This is harder for pirates/castle because those rely on specific colours (grey) or special parts (ship hulls/sails)
Um, i think i'm gonna buy this today?
>>11735021I swore off SW shit years ago but came insanely close to getting Bob's starfighter. Might pick him up some day but ultimately couldn't justify it.
>>11735021$180only 6 minifigs (1 of them is even an almost-repeat C-3PO)
>>11735021>>11735027Its been on sale for $140-$150 for months. You can still get it off Amazon and Walmart for that much. I got it a couple months ago, and I thought it was good for that. Don't think I'd pay nearly $200 for it, though. The meme-tier minifigures were part of the draw, though.
>>11735027White Vader is definitely going to be a sought after figure years down the line. Darth Jar Jar might also be favorite eventually, rest are pretty disappointing though. The Luke is okay but I doubt anyone will ever seek out the Rey or donut steel ever.
>>11734945Creative
>>11734975I'm a simple man so the 80s :) with freckles
>>11734977I remove fabuland heads I dont give a fuck about the law.
What should I try to get at the second hand Lego store today?Got these last week.
/nig/ - Ninjago General
>i actually bring small lego technic set to my office and play around with it
>>11735117Which one
>>1173511842218,42197,8441,42167 etc...
>>11735121Ok
>>11734722>Technic figs in the OPLet's fucking goooo
>>11735097I love ninjago
https://youtu.be/32X1cYKxCoE?si=Ityo_Lyu-uiHF2OOSomeone actually found a way to do something worthwhile with the Millenium Falcon.
>>11735158How many models of the Millennium Falcon have Lego released now? It's got to be like 25.
>>11735022Bob's Starfighter is a really great set. Definitely worth buying before it retires IMO.
>>11735168I did a quick count on Bricklink and including Advent Calendar tiny-builds, and things like the Thanksgiving Interior scene and this comicon exclusive (pic related) I got 32 Millennium Falconsthe first time Lego makes a ship, it's like "whoa! the OFFICIAL Lego version!" which means YOUR version (MOC) now sucks, because it's not the official one. but each time Lego re-makes a ship, you start to realize... maybe it's okay if you do it on your own. Lego keeper re-do-ing it. why can't I?
>>11735174>32Talking about milking a franchise
Mail order from the 4x points arrived yesterday. The Merry is a very fun build
>>11734808This era of lego is my favorite, or a little bit after with boats, police, and cool baseplates. For making playsets/buildings the fundamental parts and basic colors are the way to go.
