>>11741197sorry linked the wrong previous thread: >>11737685before you bitch about another thread being made, last one did reach image limit
>>11741197I am legit thinking of saving up to buy this set but a part of me thinks all those new molded pokemon will show up in far cheaper sets in 2027. It has to, r-right?The rumour is we get kanto trio, eevee and pikachu molds and 4-5 minifigs.
Unless they announce they are doing molds(brickbuilding the big ones like onix to scale, sure) for all the og 151, Im not interested
>>11741197Lego Pokemon will be Lego's no. 1 licensed theme replacing Lego Star Wars. Mark my words.
>>11741207it would if they went balls deep into minifig and minifig scale pokemolds but alas it will be mostly huge brickbuilt statueshit
>>11741197So its basically picrel with a $140 pokemon tax
>>11741206Making all 151 would be a bad finanical decision from their side, lego will only adapt the popular pokemons.
>>11741209Rumour has it that the interior is actually Professor Oak's lab so I guess it's a scene of the starters choosing moment
>>11741210Im aware, which is why I cant get myself to be excited for the theme
>>11741208Do we have the full set list yet with prices? Pics when?
>>11741203>>11741197>>11741208I wish you locked yourself in a garage with a car running.>>11741207>>11741204And you should be run off with how you enable this shit.
>>11741216Keep seething, nobody likes you.
>>11741214no prices afaik, though the "and more!" is likely thesejust to be clear all these sets are brickbuild mons, the only one with minifigs/molded mons is >>11741197
Every king needs his queen
>>11741217You are why this site is dying pedo.>>11741219Fuck off.
>>11741222I got a bunch of regular Joe's in my recent BL order
Every Nidoking needs his Nidoqueen
Now, for me personally, it's the studios scary monsters subtheme minifigures.
>>11741212>Rumour))
>>11741216I like this guy.>>11741217No, nobody likes you.
>>11738300>What is everyone working on?Currently helping a friend sort and restore all of his old childhood lego. "Helping" means I took it all to my place and am working on everything alone. Definitely feels like I'm having all the fun for myself here, but he just doesn't have the time nor energy for it, and probably also not the same reignited passion as well.
>>11741256Finding all these chunks of broken builds that prove he owned certain sets truly is a fun experience, piecing them together even more so.
I like him a lot
>>11741268
Lego Goku is coming soon
>>11741237wish we had gotten a proper classic horror theme in the golden age of lego not this "we're shooting a movie" gimmick
>>11741225>coloring your legosThat was something that I did when I was like 8, how embarrassing
>11741289there should be a hashblock put on this garbage
>>11741216You are less likeable, more annoying, and more spammy than any spammer you incessantly whine about. I checked in on the last thread after a day out, and by the end of it, fully 1/4 of the posts were just “pedo” or “kill yourself.” There was a stretch of time (maybe just ten or twelve hours) you were absent, and the thread was downright pleasant: ordinary conversation, plenty of criticism, few vivid scenes of gore and self-destruction — the thing you’d expect of conversation about children’s building blocks. So I really must insist you remove yourself in the manner of one of your nasty fantasies, for all our sakes, including yours.
>>11741320And yet you contribute to the negativity sphere, just getting rid of mr shill would stop it all.
>>11741320You’re worse than both spammers and anti-spammers because all you do is bitch about them. We went through this last thread too.Post a single Lego you own or talk about Lego. You can pose it in front of a white wall for your own anonymity (pointless but if it makes you feel better do it). But you won’t and we both know it.
It’s this easy.
>>11741342I’ve replied to this retarded non-sequitur with pictures of multiple MOCs in the past, and it’s never calmed you down, so I don’t feel the need to do it again. I’d also note, if we follow your reasoning, by replying to me, you’re worse than me (and, it follows, the spammers and anti-spammers as well), so this line is a bit self-defeating. At the end of the day, I just don’t come here to see ugly threats. I can tolerate news or leaks or whatever you want to call it, but this one schizo (you, perhaps) and his increasingly demented crusade is too much. He (you?) needs to calm down.
>>11741347He's literally me
>>11741352Like I already said. Post your own shit or shut the fuck up >>11741347it’s that easy. And like >>11741341 you’re contributing nothing but negativity. Leave. Again, more than one person hates the spammer.
>>11741296I do too but this was the closet we got and the studios aspect of it is so miniscule it may as well not exist. Genuinely curious about the development of this theme, it feels like lego maybe wanted to do a proper horror theme but decided to just connect it to studios since it already existed. With only four sets and the flagship set being only $50 it feels like lego didn't have confidence in the theme.
>>11741352I suspect that despite our quarrel over this issue you’re a guy I like so I’ll lay off. I should crush my enemies see them driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women… however I think you’re probably a fan of Conan and a nice guy. Do post your own shit. I enjoy OC and head cannon more than anyone.
>>11741347Whenever I post my own content it gets little to no response but arguments between the Frenchie shill and the countershills are infinite (You) generators
>>11741347Here>>11741352And yet you continue to do it.
>>11741381Glad the gets turned out nice and clean. I didn’t notice the bonkle before. Nice!
>>11741390I added him in just as a timestamp of sorts
So my son is really getting into Legos so I got some of my old stuff from my parents and brought them home for him. I also went through what minifigs I could manage and found these. I'm gonna check out which are worth preserving and then give the rest to my boy to play with.
>>11741415For reference here are all the misc minifig parts I found.
>>11741416>>11741415>missing windu’s bladeThats gonna suck to try and replace considering its light purple
>>11741415Lots of great characters, I used to carry that astronaut in my pocket all the time as a kid
>>11741415>>11741416Still amazing selection, some of them like greedo there are super expensive but I feel he could make something outta all that
>>11741354Cool!!! reminds me I still gotta make my minifigsona irl....you guys have one right?
>>11741415is that a black dragon? I thought they only came in red and green
>>11741433It was part of the Fright Knight Sets which I fucking loved as a kid. That Basil the Batlord fig has always been my favorite apart from the Skeleton.>>11741420If I remember correctly I hated how the purple blade looked blue when the light was on and colored it red with a marker to compensate. I was a weird kid and did a lot of mixing and marker edits to my figures. Really wish I took better care of them because I had some pretty dang cool ones that I either lost or are somewhere else.
>>11741359I was surprised by Conan. I went in expecting a big dumb action movie, and it was that to some extent, but far more, it was slow and operatic and melancholy. I think the first act is almost totally free of dialogue. Completely different tone than I was expecting, very sincere.
>>11741352>He (you?) needs to calm down.He won't, he keeps making death threats and catching bans for it and still continues to post his insane shit that has driven more people away from this thread than any shill has.
I'm quickly falling in love with the netherlands! the shipping fees on stores from there are always so so cheap and they're always fast to ship it too I wonder what causes this
>>11741415>when Star Wars and Harry Potter weren’t fleshies and men carried a pistol in their belt
>>11741441Yeah, considering how strange of a color it is, had to import a few for fun>>11741444The rude never ends
>>11741268>>11741256What’s your method. What’s the damage?
>he uses a generic city head for his sigfigishygddt
>>11741354t. jang
>>11741444>>11741444>the shill posts>conversation ensues, both critical and hopeful, mundane and pro-fane, often funny (recall the reaction to the soccer sets, very lively) but always pertaining to Lego itself>the anti-shill posts>we are in a samsara-like trap of endless meta-conversation about the state of — and who’s to blame for — other meta-conversations, punctuated by frequent, ugly descriptions of torture and suicide>>11741441I’ve been meaning to upgrade my CMF Basil for what feels like years now. No idea where my OG ended up
>>11741381Do what?
>>11741415You have some pretty pricey stuff here anon.>glowing EP3 Anakin>maybe the Mace Windu but being broken is rough>red C3PO>Kashyyyk Trooper (this guy can easily sell for triple digits)>04 Greedo>Achu (though without the cape and headdress he might not be as much as he usually is)
>>11741296I remember getting this on Christmas. It was like a while after I had already opened all my presents and everyone was tuckered out. I found one last present behind the tree.
>>11741521Did you shoot your eye out?
>>11741542No, an icicle fell off the house and hit him in the glasses.
New torso leak from an upcoming Icons Star Trek TOS set! I think it will be the bridge instead of enterprise.
$400, Lego needs to chill with these prices in this economy!
>>11741219I need Rayquaza so bad
>>11741561Is that...a new scifi ship in light grey? LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
>>11741561Its wild to me that you can see the transitional price spikes happening in real-time with Lego, especially with Marvel and Star Wars sets.Like, the Avengers Tower is only $100 more than this, but has 2000 more pieces and 31 minifigures. The Daily Bugle costs $50 less and has almost 800 more pieces and has 25 minifigures.This is why no one buys their bullshit claims when the put out a $400 or $500 set and stop at 6-8 minifigures and tell us "we have to stop SOMEwhere!"
>>11741557$150 TOS bridge set incoming?
>>11741561Them asking this for a non minifig scale set is absurd. It made me think of the UCS Death Star II which was $270 at release in 2005, or $451.78 adjusted for inflation, and has about 450 more pieces but no minifigs. Guess they just always have been this bad.
>>11741561>>11741557Fuck off.
>>11741567>$150 TOS bridge set incoming?>>11741557>New torso leak from an upcoming Icons Star Trek TOS set! I think it will be the bridge instead of enterprise.it depends on how "well" the -D sold. if it sold well enough, I'd expect it to be another $400. they'll find some way to inflate muh-piece-count even if it's just-the-bridge (midi-scale Enterprise behind it for display purposes?)If I had to guess (based on Lego greed tactics) I'm guessing no less than $200. I triple-dog-dare Lego to make a 7-minifig bridge for $80. it's for the 65th anniversary and they need it to be accessible to all the normies (?)
>>11741570the old ucs sets were supposed to be more like models than expensive collectors items them including minifigs didn't happen until lego realized that sw fags will eat up any shit they pump out as long as it includes an exclusive minifig
>>11741573Impossible, rumour has it it's a cheaper TOS bridge set. And its coming in 2026. How the next generation set sold will factor into a 2027 trek release but a 2026 one? No, because the design is already set in stone and in production. Also it make sense for it to be TOS bridge because its different from the enterprise from TNG and cheaper and this year is the 60th anniversary, you need to take these when accounting for all of that.
>>11741573>65th anniIts 60th you idiot. Fake nu-trek fan
>>11741575Was gonna write about the flowerpot but couldn’t find it, so instead am gonna do something on pneumatic tubes being expensive as fuck and how I should go to an auto shop with some stuff to show off, and how it could be used for bionicle stuff
>>11741580>Its 60th you idiot. Fake nu-trek fanI added 5 more to inflate the piece count
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d35XrcDUnMs&t=1641s old /toy/ jumpscare, funny how I can literally spot myself in this thread here https://archive.palanq.win/toy/thread/10102888/#10105457 even though it took a bit of scrolling, kinda fucked up one of these two were lurking while the haloanon bricklink saga was going down
>>11741604Also to that Anon who made the Scala scale Car, I applaud you and hope you’re still doing fine
>>11741459>sort by color, separated into plates, "regular block", and "special blocks">all technic pieces together>all studs separately and sorted by color>stickered pieces together>printed pieces together>wheels/wheel pieces/tires together>plant pieces together>unique pieces like steering wheels togetherEtc.I put pieces that very obviously belong with eachother together. I don't disassemble some of these very specific half-builds that could very easily indicate that he owned certain sets and instead throw them in the "proof of existence" container which will get sorted out later.>What's the damage?He has plenty of shit but virtually everything is 90% disassembled and scattered across multiple piles. Also some of these stickered parts (particularly coast watch stuff) are so old the stickers are half-crumbling and if you touch them in the wrong way shit gets stuck all over your fingertips. A lot of it is also caked in dust because he left it in open boxes without lids or anything. Then there's a good chunk of minifigs, specifically battle droids for some reason, that the dog at the time gave a good chewing. The rest of his minifigs seem to be in decent condition.
>>11741628Half-builds like these.
>>11741224What would be the best lego suit for a tv pastor/cult leader?
>>11741433they never came in red, only black green, and black with gold printing.
>>11741561I don’t know why they think that would sell when this is the case.
>>11741561They must have found some sweet spot at $400 that maximizes profit. Especially now that they know buyers will tolerate stickers on $400 sets.
>>11741225I don't really get coloring your legos. But it seems like there's two big groups when it comes to custom lego stuff. There's the man children who color their stuff with markers or paint vs the people who actually custom print stuff or get custom molded pieces and the people who do a really amateur job with coloring in pieces just bother me a lot. I know it's all toys at the end of the day but don't they feel embarrassed for doing something so shitty?
How do i walk into a store and buy this (i am an adult male)?
Huh, maybe I should get the first set after all, cute
>>11741655Buy gift wrapping paper alongside it with an ultimate pokerface up at all times.
>>11741655Good luck I’ve been looking for paisley’s room on the shelves for a hot min. And have yet to see it in the wild.Also, don’t be so self conscious. Literally no one cares.
>>11741655Walk in and but itAt best people will think you have a daughter or something and at worst they'll not even bat an eye and think nothing of it lmaoReminds me of the time my set I ordered online went to my neighbor and he was like "I didn't knew you had kids" and I was like "haha yeah"
>>11741655Buy it online like a normal weirdo
Why is classic legos so comfy and soulful?
>>11741690Because you're biased
>>11741655If I don't get what the weird niche appeal to you guys of these sets is
>>11741690They aren't pastel colored.
>>11741704They wanna fuck the tween girl characters it's that simple
>>11741690>Why is classic legos so comfy and soulful?Wrong picture.Your photo is some ancient brick-slop.The new vintage sets are Chima and Nexo - level waves.
i recently got back into lego again but im weirdly dissapointed in the pokemon theme, manchild that i am i prefer the playsets but seeing that the pokemon will be a single mold rather then figure luie build (think of something like a lego build with mixel joints) static statues suck so much its why i hate the b1s
>>11741718>i recently got back into lego again but im weirdly dissapointed in the pokemon themWell you have plenty of based themes to collect.
>>11741718The other anon is right! There's still so many cool sets with satisfying play features for you to enjoy!
>>11741655>>11741707Lego box art team is secretly based, often putting little funny or suggestive things right in plain sight.innuendo "water drops" blue paint (heh) on the front of the box... where (?!)also zoom-in on the sticker on the computer screen. where is that "brush" on that clay sculpture? and why is her hand holding it like that?
>>11741738Porn has absolutely destroyed your brain.
>>11741718>manchild that i am i prefer the playsetsI'm so bitter from all the slop that I view people who enjoy classic style sets as genuine connoisseur and intellectuals.
>>11741738Idk about that but whatever makes you happy lmaoI for one think the strenght of these Friends sets are the spam of minifigure accessories everywhere.>>11741731I just realised is this the first time Jay gets an actual canon ninja suit since his core robes? Sweet.
>>11741738You are literally a porn addict, dude.
>>11741655>>11741738she's just singing...
what now?
>>11741757You build them?
>>11741757You build it?
What type of storage cases do you use /lg/? My old boxes are rotting and I need to move to plastic. I want something that has lots of drawers with decent depth.
>>11741757>going Merry sold out in my storeEpic.
>>11741742i liked the few of the mario sets, esp the baby luigi vs baby mario karts
>>11741738seek helpAlso, have a space-beerbong from an old building inspiration book.

Is friends the cumbrain lego theme?
How do we combat the basedlennial epidemic?
>>11741813I still can't believe they got away with a fishnet shirt on the dude character. he's going clubbing laterthis was in TWO sets! it's just a fishnet shirt, what? it's hot in this club, grrrl! [snaps fingers]
>>11741818>mistakes sweater vest for fishnet shirt.
>>11741718I got back into the hobby about a year ago, take the vintage non IP pill. I only buy stuff from 02 at the absolute latest, just like the blocky aesthetic and more appealing color palletes of older lego. I grew up with stuff from around 2007 to 2011 but honestly I find the colors used in sets from that era overly saturated and kinda junior feeling so I have never been motivated to collect them. Reject overpriced pop culture slop, get action figures if you like IPs, and embrace SOUL.
>>11741818That is that faggot Matthew Ashton's bricksona.
>>11741826I dont think you understand the meaning of color saturation
>>11741829Shut the f up, lol.
>>11741831all the classic colors(minus tan and the paradisa pastels) are essentially at max saturationmeanwhile in later years there's a lot more desaturated slop like the sandgreens and sandreds and all manner of muted specialized colors.to say colors from the classic years were better because new ones are overly saturated makes virtually zero sense when it's the exact opposite
>>11741826yeah mostly have been buying older sets but some new ish are nice, like the sith tie dighter feom 2017, weirdly all new order stuff is very fun, unique and a nice colour change and cheap, picked up a new destroyer for 120$
How did you guys all get back into lego?Or did you never got off of it?For me it was when they released the ninjago 15th year music video and it made me realise that I'm an adult with a paycheck that can buy my own legos I always wanted when I was little lolNow I'm just slowly buying legos I find nice
>>11741829I'm not >>11741831 , perhaps "saturation" was a poor choice of wording on my part. I'm not really sure how to describe it, the overly bright colors seen in themes from around this time like Mars Mission, Power Miners, and Agents just looks so much less appealing to me as an adult now. Even the more subdued themes like fantasy era castle or space police 3 just don't look quite as nice as their 80s or 90s equivalent.
>>11741848>How did you guys all get back into lego?Having a kid.
>>11741854That's adorable actually! what theme do they like the most? When I was a kid I had SO MANY city police cars and choppers lol
>>11741848>ninjago 15th year music videoMan, this kind of hits me as the very first wave of ninjago is when I quit actually, got a few of the smaller sets and kind of just thought "yeah, I really don't see the appeal anymore". I can't say I love the theme but at this point seeing literally any non IP theme that isn't city be relevant is a gpod thing to me. My brother is a normie and collects IP stuff and brickworld is close to us so I went with him and seeing the 910049 Adventure in Transylvania made me want to get one final set, unfortumately this was well past it's preorder phase so every one I found was like $700 which I couldn't justify. Fell down the slippery slope though and now collect 80s and 90s castle and space themes.
>>11741857Anything with wheels, specifically trucks. Which is funny since I was a Star Wars, Adventure, and Castles kid. He's got a few truck sets and I brick bashed a few trucks for him out of old sets I had.
>>11741850Funny how there was no space theme that used magenta, wonder how dark green and magenta would look as a pallet
>>11741863I will always scorn the fact we never got a space theme thst used sand red as a primary color.
>>11741848had a psychotic episode because family denied they threw my one lego item i kept when i whas young and strated mocking and hitting me so i spend 12k on legos trying to get my collection back
>>11741854This. I did Lego robotics as a coach for a few years but yeah having a kid.
>>11741848I got out of it around 2009 right before Ninjago hit. In 2021 I found my Café Corner, Market Street and Green Grocer again, and thats how I got back into it. I tried collecting from all sorts of themes, then stuck to mainly collecting Monkie Kid since I really liked the style they were going with it. However since around 2024 I've decided to almost exclusively focus on sets I can integrate into my City landscape. Mostly modular buildings and Bricklink Designer Program.
>>11741902Ninjago released in 2011.
13 KB JPG /lg/...I have a confession... [spoiler]bought my first playmobil figure. I find their CMF line honestly more impressive then lego's, kind of weird it's split between boys and girls is weird but these are pretty nice.[/spoiler]
>>11741848I think the last set I bought was around Rouge One so 2016. Came back after seeing all the clone wars revival sets and having seen my childhood best friend still collected (We hadn‘t hung out in years). Collected a bit, but stopped again shortly thereafter until I got Ahsoka‘s jedi interceptor as a gift recently and then came back full time. Even started branching out into Ninjago, thought the last set I got was from season 1 so I‘m really unsure where to begin collecting. I never was a big fan of the show but I‘ll give it another go now, after 15 years. For the first time ever, probably because I never really cared that much where my legos went, I’m having storage problems. Also the aftermarket, artificial inflation, all that jazz really takes the joy out of this hobby for me. I’m expected to keep my minifigs in carbonite if I don’t want to have what would be considered as damaged goods. It’s easy for the hobby to control you.
>>11741915Can you not fucking spoiler on this board?
>>11741921[spoiler]No[/spoiler]
>>11741915I recently saw an AI image slideshow of star wars and rdr2 playmobile sets and minifigs. At first glance I thought it was real and it looked really good. Nonexistant products made me want to buy actual playmobile kek
How far would you go for your bricks?
>>11741941I don’t know who this guy is but that’s no way to live. 5-6 hours? Why not spend the afternoon there at the very least. Not to mention signaling on X how you have enough money to be retarded.
>>11741941pretty far.btw i wanna move internationally sometime do airports mind if instead of clothes and worthless stuff my baggage just has boxes with parts of different lego sets i'll build back upon landing?
>>11741941is it really that profitable, to buy a few Lego sets, to pay for round trip airfare tickets?how about you "hire" a local guy to stand in line and ship them? would that be less expensive?the take-away from this story is that Lego is missing out on some serious CASH. if people are willing to buy airline tickets, Lego should "figure it out" and sell those sets online for massive profits
>>11741945I use shitter to follow nature accounts but have clicked on enough lego posts that I am now being treated to the deranged world of lego twitter.
>>11741641>>11741953what a coincidence! A chance to post my cozy chapel
>>11741956How old is that squirrel mold? I'm not a fan of modern animal molds but it feels more in line with the classics like tbe parrot/crocodile/shark/dog.
>>11741953Trying to return the company back to its origins I guess>>11741956Nice work
>>11741354God makes manMan makes LegomanMan kills GodLego sells $600 for Pokemon sets
>>11741953For some reason the "#ninjago" really made me smile
>>11741848I'm still kind of out of it, but I receive Lego as gifts from family sometimes and every now and then I'll buy one for myself. My most recent purchase was Surprising Spider, he's hanging out in the mouth of the Piranha Plant set someone gave me for Christmas.
>>11741977Doesn't Ninjago have displays of Shintoism?
>>11741983I guess so. They've been trying to make it more general lately but ninjago was always pretty much a giant mish-mash of different asian cultures that the designers put in because it looked "really cool" and they're right eastern-looking dragons and temples and swords are pretty awesome
>>11741996I wonder if they ever regret going the ninja angle, them making a blond kid the leader is pretty funny. During the set design process I wonder if the designers have to factor in representing the Japanese aspect. Monkey Kid feels like them going crazy with the Chinese repredentation but that makes sense considering their a regional theme.
Where do you see LEGO go in the next 5-10 years? Surely the black box era will come to an end at some point. To me it feels like LEGO is repeating the same mistakes they did in the 90s. With more and more specialized pieces, colors and products that swey away from the core. Except this time it's working for them. Do you think the Smart Brick will succeed? Or will they pull it in the next 3+ years and reflect on the failure?
>>11742007Feels like a lot of the pop culture titans are starting to weaken, Disney Star Wars was so disasterous that nothing beside the Mandalorian has had an impact on pop culture and they can only remake stuff from EP1-6 for so long before people get tired, meanwhile MCU shit has become so overly saturated that normies barely keep up unless it's a "big" movie. There's a big budget Harry Potter reboot happening but Rowling is controversal enough that it might seriously fail. Does LotR have any big projects going on?
>>11742007people dont like legos anymore they play with chinese funholes. much cheaper and fun!
>>11742007Crazier piece and alts for pieces and generally very angly and specifically shaped pieces being used for complex detailing and shapingAnd its all thanks to speeed chanpions
>>11742018I mean we probably both agree, that new pieces are exciting, but they should have large usage in sets. Just look at older sets and how they achieved things with less specialized pieces.
>>11742021I just mean it as in usually we get some really intricate or cool new variant pieces that come from that series and end up bleeding into other themesThe general idea here is that the future for lego is going to be about revamping the way buildings look by going crazy with specific detailing and shaping and thats also paired with this weird need master builders seem have of wanting to use unusual pieces in sets to make it seem creative(for better or for worse)
went ahead and picked this up off FB marketplace for like 30% under retail from a dedicated lego seller. Im curious how this person can sell lego well below msrp?anyways, I find it wild that lego made a minifigure of me
>>11742025>>11742021>>11742018>>11742007An IP extinction and rebirth of a few classic and new in house themes hopefully should be the direction
>>11742007>Surely the black box era will come to an end at some point.nope. the math heavily favors huge sets. ridiculously.there's roughly 1000 The Lego Storesthey only need to sell 1 each, $1000 Death Star to make 1 million bucks. there's at least one crazy rich person per The Lego Store, easily.I think we did the math on the pre-order limits on the $650 Pokemon set and came up with 50+ million.so basically, Lego will continue making $$$$ sets, until there are no longer any "big" IPs with any sort of fan base where at least 1 or 4 people per The Lego Store would be willing to pay for it.having said all that doom-n-gloom nonsense, I think the way Zelda backed from $300 down to $140 might indicate Lego is settling down to a lower price spot. I hope that trend continues
>>11742064You’ve said this same garbage before rat, fuck off.
Adventurers revival when?
>>11742076Never ever ever.Lego sucking up IPs really fucking ruined everything>No need for Lego Space anymore we got STAR WARS!>No need for Adventures anymore we have Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park!>No need for Castle we have Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings>No need for fun play features we have Minecraft!The only original thing Lego really excels at is City and most of that shit is cops and robbers. The worse part is people still fucking ask for MORE IPS! Like holy shit just make your own renditions of whatever gay ass IP you're looking for, the toy is literally designed for this.
>>11742084Actually ninjago gave us a bit of hope that solidified with nexo knights since both are basically reboots of super old ninja and castle themesSure they'll never make another beast of a theme like ninjago probably ever again but I can see them still trying to by making these reimagined versions of old themes that also come with a cartoon or a card/schoolyard toy game along side it
>>11742089Hopefully they don’t come with tech gimmick shit, again again, since thats a death nail for most themes, fuck yidsneed and their bullshit
>>11742076With smart brick?
>>11742089>ninjagoAw yes how could I forget the theme that literally needs to shoehorn every fucking genre into itself because Lego doesn't actually feel confident that a standard Ninja set would actually sell.
>>11742096
The future is $500 black box light grey space ships™Accept it.
>>11742107It's called being versitile and I mean.... it's clearly working lmao
Wait I misspelled that word. you can forget I said anything.
>>11741956Nice one. I just did this one a few weeks ago.
>>11742117I wish r*ddit and bsky would fuse before being camp’d
the main lego sub is only good for like the art mocs i sometimes see thereotherwise I prefer the circlejerk one because they're funny sometimes
>>11742084space and star wars co-existed for 14 years before the former stopped, coincidentally right after disney purchased star wars indiana jones existed for a year and a half in 2008-9, and again briefly a few years back, long after adventures ended castle co-existed for the entirety of the first two eras of hp, apparently it was canned due to low sales, but the last version of it was very simple and basic
>>11742084>Like holy shit just make your own renditions of whatever gay ass IP you're looking for, the toy is literally designed for this.I'm also starting to out-grow (heh) the notion of Lego "perfection" vs "close-enough"I've used this bit before, so that guy that freaked out last time, plug your ears. the first time Lego made an X-Wing, you HAD to get it, because the one YOU made was garbage compared to the "official" Lego X-Wing! but then Lego keeps re-making it, and after the 12th one, you realize it's okay to make your own, it's just as valid.minifigs can be the same way. look at Luke originally with just a close-enough hair piece. what's wrong with that? nothing.
>>11742176star wars as a whole peaked in the yellow erait had everything you would want, no clone autism, minimal focus on glup shittos, sets were undeniably lego but still looked like star wars i'll accept that the early fleshie era was also decent, but once lego started making tcw sets it paved the way to the absolute state of lego today
>>11742129I like that a lot homie! It could go in any medieval setup and not look out of place at all too. Very nicely done!
>>11742064>there's roughly 1000 The Lego Stores. they only need to sell 1 each, $1000 Death Star to make 1 million bucks.that is not how profit works, dudeI wouldn't go so far as to disagree with you, since I don't know the numbers myself, but you are completely ignoring the cost of productioneven if I am extremely generous and say that it only cost 500$ to make an 1000$ set(an insane profit margin), companies gave away their IP for free, they don't need to pay anything to keeps their machines running, and that lego factory workers don't get paid, that already cuts your number in halfprofit is the number you get after deducting those costs, because that is how much you actually made by selling the product(thought to be fair, workers and electric bills shouldn't be as important of a consideration since they are a general cost across the entire company and not the profit of a single IP)you cannot make those claims when you don't even know how much they're actually profiting off of each set, let alone how much IP holders are taking from that profitit's obviously still profitable since lego keeps shilling out money for the IPs, but your "1 1000$ set from each store is 1 million dollars" claim is ridiculous
>>11742181It costs less than half a penny in abs per 2x2 brick.
>>11742175>co-existedThat's certainly one way to look at it. It's obvious that while lego had enough freedom to make in house space themes they needed to be as distinct as possible from Star Wars. Rock Raiders and Life On Mars were consessions but were able to stand on their own, feel like by Mars Mission lego became obsessed with the NASA aesthetic and decided to approach space more from that angle.>>11742179I think what really separates the early Star Wars and Harry Potter lines is how heavily they market they still market the concept that sets can and should be taken apart, they were meant to be enjoyed as both stuff from the movie but still lego at heart.
>>11741848Dragon. I love dragons, but I don’t care for Ninjago.
>>11741690Because they're modest and leave more for the imagination.
>>11742180Thanks broskie. Its meant to be Mission inspired western church, but idea in mind it could fit in with Castle stuff if i ever felt like it. Made my first Brickkink order to get a few parts to make this build work. I'm really happy with it, its very playable and sturdy.Here's a look at the inside.
>>11742213>I love dragons but I don't care for the dragon factory
>>11742227Okay but the brick built dragons suck.
>>11742227My autism would demand I sit down and watch Ninjago from the beginning. I stopped at season 3 over a decade ago. Genuinely surprised they haven’t made more mythological animals. Bought Harry’s potter for the first time for buckbeak. Really should make a gryphon or hydra.Has Lego put out a 15 season bundle?
>>11742232I'm going to be honest, I don't know how anyone past 12 can convince themselves these literal 30 min commercials are worth getting invested into.
>>11742230depends alot ngl>>11742232it's not hard to just binge it all and iirc it's free on their youtube channel so idk it's really up to you>>11742235>he says that in the Lego general in the Toys board in the 4chan websitebut on a real note tldr is just: the characters are fun and I like seeing them
>>11742236I am so fucking sick of pearl gold being used, lego is obsessed with this color and it looks tacky as fuck.
>>11742242are you saying that because you mean it or just because you're upset chrome gold was taken out of our arms and shot?Also now I'm just going in a sidetour looking at a bunch of lego dragons. this guy here FUCKS but too bad he seems to be from that era were they'd give dragons THOSE kinds of wings
>>11742245Obviously it's a downgrade, but my issue is I think they chose too poor of a choice. Not using chrome gold is unfortunate but understandable, I just think there absolutely had to be a more pleasing option available. It might be tbe si gle worse color replacement they have ever done.
>>11742242>>11742245>>11742250I think its all that plus neutering of the general gold pallet, we used to have a good selection before pearl gold homogenised it all and with such an ugly shade too
>>11742253>>11742250>>11742245>>11742242Like look at the silver comparison, especially stuff like light pearl gray vs pearl gray, I wouldn’t mind the no chromes if they gave us a good pearl color selection, BUT THEY DON’T.
>>11742257Shits a headache
>>11742257>>11742245>>11742250More stuff
>>11742262>>11742250>>11742245>>11742242Pearl gold just sucks, tired of pretending it doesn’t
I think I get what you mean and I agree even if in the end it's all just gold to me lolI wouldn't mind them picking a lighter shinier shade of gold tho I feel like it would really make alot of sets that use it pop more I guess
Post non minifig mini-figs
>>11742281I would just pick a not ugly gold
SpockI hope the bridge set is cheap...
>>11742287Fuck off Paul.
>>11742287I expect $150 at max>>11742295?
>>11742299Also Mega Bloks did it too, I'm also sure we'll get the trandporter room soon. But based on which series? There was a rumour on reddit Lego plans Trek to be a full theme under 18+...
>>11742299>>11742301Tired of seeing instashitters shilling their shitty accounts on this punished thread chain.
>>11742301>There was a rumour on reddit Lego plans Trek to be a full theme under 18+...as much of a raving Trek fanatic as I am, I refuse to get my hopes up. Lego fumbled the One Piece "theme" and the $400 Trek set was a slap in my face.I dare Lego to make less-expensive, desirable, Star Trek sets. Red Shirt polybag with an exploding rock. three generic TNG Klingons in a $20 set, that kind of thing. damn. look at me, getting my hopes up like I told myself I wouldn't...
>>11742284
>>11742014>picI think something just broke instead me.
>>11742176I really do not like those new hairpieces.t. old fart
>>11742262>>11742265Pearl gold looks like the plastic part of metallic gold with the flecks omitted. It's just cheap and lazy.>>11742245>you only hate [thing] because you're aware of the existence of [better thing]woah
>>11741655Buy a small city set with it.
>>11741953>Ninfago autist being a faggotBRING BACK CLASSIC SAMURAIS AND NINJAS
>>11742320>bigfigWhy even post
>>11742356Lego wouldn't touch that shit with a ten foot poll, the ridiculous fantasy aspect is why ninjago gets a pass.
>>11742356it would be sweet to get a "retro-re-do" classic not-Ninjago Ninja set the same as Lego did with the Pirate and Castle themesbut it clearly would be "confusing" next to actual Ninjago.not to mention muh-cultural-exploitation if that's going to factor in (it didn't for medieval castle or Caribbean pirates, why should it for generic Ninja?)
>>11742365They did retro redos of some other vintage sets like Majistos magical workshop. I have this set and its pretty decent
>>11741915The Playmobil historical lines are fucking based, even the Asterix line is soulful as fuck
>>11742337I wonder how some stuff like cbbs/bionicle/technic in general stuff would look in metallic gold, I got a few technic connector shafts in pearl very light gray from a spanish seller, and plan on collecting a few ice skates in that color too, I just need to get a job and to get a proper shipment from bl is all
>>11742373Yeahhhh
>>11742281Colors can make or break themes to me, absolutely one of the most important aspects of any set.
>>11742242>I am so fucking sick of pearl gold being used, lego is obsessed with this color and it looks tacky as fuck.Looks like toffee rather than gold.
>>11741848Got back into it a couple years ago when my friend randomly decided he wanted some lego jeep, convinced me to buy shit with him and then we both got hooked.Now I'm making entire towns on tables, finished a medieval fantasy one already and currently working on a old japanese themed town using Ninjago sets mainly.
>>11742287>all kurtzman trek era is finally cancelled>reboot from real fans incoming>we suddenly get lots of legosHmmmm, I wonder if they got the spiderverse guys in charge of future trek
>>11742242>>11742245A bunch of those pieces wouldn't be useful even if they were chrome gold.
>>11742419ALL pieces are useful, buddy.
>>11742356>no fully articulated mechs>no weapon vehicles>no flying pirate ships>no magical dragons>no giant monster>can't even spinboooooooooring
>>11742421Find some good builds using these then, because I don’t wanna start questioning why I bought them then kek
>>11742392Would be amazing
>>11742337I never said any of those words
>>11742242I do miss proper chromed parts.>b-b-b-but it flakes!I still have plenty of oxygen crystals and knives from Aquanauts with all their chrome on, and I was a retarded kid who played the SHIT out of those things.My knight swords from that era are a little harder up, admittedly.
>>11742129Let's get an interior shot brother
>>11742429I also would like a return with them the opaque and clear glow in the dark stuff, and marbling
>>11742431O shidd, they made GITD Bohrok eyes? Fucking when???
>>11742429yeah it was mostly a problem for minifig accessories that would chip from clipping into the hands
>>11742435>Ghost in the Dell
>>11742435Racecar headlights from 2005, zoomer
>>11742129>>11742220This is lowkirkenuinely beautiful; I love the use of using the technic pin hole bricks as stone etched crosses
>>11742421build something nice with Znap and Galidor pieces
It's not about if the piece looks pretty or not! A piece is useful as long as it can connect to something and have something connect to itself!Sometimes the most useful pieces are the ones you can't even see in the finished build.
>>11742377This is exactly why I just do not care about city police anymore.
I'm late to the party but speaking of ninjago and nexo knights I think the next theme they would probably try to bring back into the public with a new coat of paint should be Pirates.They could have it be a tv show and have multiple special "treasure" things to collect in each setThen they could create some kind of tie-in game gimmick like spinners but with boats and the idea of upgrading your mini ships with various special lego parts and etcThen for actual sets we'd have factions forming stuff like these big battle ship sets and ghost ships and mermaids, sea monsters and olden jungle temples full of loot and idk it just feels like an safe nostalgia reboot...
>Since the first Star Trek set was already the exclusive new release for Black Friday on November 28, 2025, we don't expect LEGO to repeat that this year – even though the Enterprise was one of the most successful product launches in the company's history last year. A release sometime in the fall , and therefore before the Christmas shopping season, is much more likely.So apparently Enterprise was a huge success?https://www.stonewars.de/geruechte/zweites-lego-star-trek-set-geruecht/
>>11742552I'm sorry anon but pirates aren't "family-friendly", it will never happen.
>>11742552>piratesNah, for two reasons. Actually 3 reasons:>new pirates creator set coming this summer>pirates of the caribbean >one pieceI also think Lego will take a pause from doing original themes, I expect the next one around 2028.
>>11742423NTA but those could hold up the mast of a ship.
>>11742556What if they're all-female pirate crews? Then it won't be implied that they gangrape captives.
>>11742568Thats what I meant by factions!There could be one full of ghost pirates and they glow in the dark, one full of pirate mermaids thats all colourful ladies with swores and diamonds then some more monster-ish tribal men for the land-based set piecesAnd the main group if pirates is just a few guys
>>11742570Swords and diamonds*they can't swear you like mod the smart bricks to do it
Actually I think I just yearn for lego boats.I like it when lego gets creative and makes these angles and curves and details on the hull
newfag here, just out of curiosity, how old are you autists? I'm 23 and I think even that's way too old to play with plastic toys...
>>11741655As long as you aren't masturbating while you get it, no one will care. I have learned everyone is too busy with their own shit to care about what NPCs are doing around them. Despite what "alpha male" influencers try to tell you, no one is judging you based on how you take your cellphone out, open a bottle, or sit down. In my whole life I only judged one guy for buying something. I was working in a Meijer and a guy with a thick mustache and a wavery voice like the NAMBLA characters from South Park came up and asked for a price check on some child's wind-up toy. So unless you are broadcasting pedo or trans vibes actively, no one will care.
>>11742579>too old to play with plastic toys...Age never stopped your mother
>>1174257929, lol. Who gives a shit? If you enjoy lego then do it. We all die anyway, live life the way you want.
>>11742579I'm in my mid 20s and live at home, no one gives a shit I collect lego.
So, will Lego make sets based on the show? I mean, the big Hogwarts is pretty close to be completed and Lego pretty much did everything they could from the movies at this point, so maybe they soft reboot the theme? Will they split the show and movie sets? Like 50/50?
>>11742671*If* the line continues, I guarantee WB will force them to represent stuff exclusively from the new series up to the point that it fails and then they'll lean back on the tried and true.
>>11742671Probably, it's thought thst this series' aesthetic will not deviate from the movies unless necessary as it would conflict with the current merch and theme parks centered around the series. A lot of the set design will probably just be recycled from prior year's sets but obviously refined.
>>11742435There was even a glow in the dark head made or two
>>11742431>>11742694Does lego use a different material for glow in the dark stuff now? Only modern gitd piece I have is a spider from a monster hunters set and the anti stud at the bottom broke, seems much different from stuff like my classic ghosts and such.
>>11742699There are 3 colors of GITD, Opaque, Trans as seen with that, and white which is modern GITD aka the one that broke on you, the two classic ones are obviously the most valuable
>>11742675There is no way the show is a flop, it will be the biggest show ever since game of thrones, the announcement from the Today post got super huge positive reactions from fans and id Tomorrow trailer is good, it will be HUGE.
>>11742710So were the new sequel trilogy for Star Wars. I don't think it will fail because because of Rowling's politics, ppeple just don't care about HP as a franchise compared to the 2000s.
>>11742743Bro, hogwarts legacy is the best selling game ever also nobody gives a shit about rowlings views, its just a loud minority.
>>11742745I haven't seen that shit mentioned in years.
>>11742671>So, will Lego make sets based on the show?almost a guaranteeeven if it's just one wave at the start, and unless there are epic riots that force the TV series to implode and vanish (highly unlikely) we can expect exclusive Nu-Pot (is there a term yet?) sets going forward.Lego will basically say "you should already have a white-guy Snape at this point. you don't need another one"
>>1174257939But youre a baby at 23. One day you'll gain some self worth and not anon validation
>>11742872They should do a salute your shorts Lego.Donkey lips minifig when?
Been getting back into the hobby and one thing that I never really see discussed are brick films, is there even people making any nowadays? I used to love finding any I could in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Glad to se a lot eof stuff has been archived but never see stuff about new ones releasing.
>>11742552Pirates are unlikely due to there being an active licensed pirate-adjacent theme (One Piece) going right now thougheverbeit
what about cowboys? or are cowboys too problematic nowdays?
>>11743006There was the Lone Ranger line a few years ago, movie was shit but the sets were top tier to my understanding. But yeah, unless it had a strong IP tied to it western as a genre is too problematic in terms of its historical significance. Honestly kind of surprised lego ever did it even, made their first realistic gun molds for it.
>>11743009>western as a genre is too problematicHow?
>>11743038Indians. Feather not dot.
>>11741256Weird I did the same thing this past weekend with my childhood Lego bin.
>>11743009>There was the Lone Ranger line a few years ago,at the time, Pirates of the Caribbean was hitting huge, and Slopney was hoping that The Lone Ranger was going to be the Wild West version of it. They even had Johnny Depp on board and it had a lot of the same style and (attempt at) swagger. it's a shame it fizzled and never got sequels and all that. Lego would have continued to make setsbeen a while since I've seen it, I wonder how well it holds up? I remember it was meh-alright
>>11743077>They even had Johnny DeppYet playing the indian Tonto. That kind of casting wouldn't even fly in the 90s. At best they diverted their white guilt into making him the brains behind the Ranger, who was completely incompetent. He was a complete idiot that didn't even get Hey Ho Silver right. Like not even as comic relief seriously what a terrible lead.Never noticed that they aimed towards a feeling similar to PotC, they really missed the mark.
>>11743059>sorting by color instead of part type
>>11743038This isn't even a modern thing, westerns as a genre came under scrutiny from younger generations in the 70s who criticized them as romanticising manifest destiny and the confiscation of the territorial rights of Native American land. Genre exists in a weird inbetween in that it's easily iconic but considered problematic.
Cautiously optimistic about the TOS bridge but I'm concerned about the sticker situation. Could be Krusty Burger level disastrous.
>reminded that the Scooby Doo line existed>"Huh, I wonder how much getting the mystery machine and gang would be">go on bricklink>mystery machine goes starts at $80 incomplete>velma starts at $60What the fuck happened with this line? Did they really feel it necessary to try to gouge people into getting the pricier sets just to get the girls? Feels so mishandled, a mystery machine with the full gang probably would have sold better then every set in the theme combined. The location builds are nice admittedly but undermined by the god awful vehicles that have no reason to exist. Obviously it wasn't going to do star wars or marvel numbers but did it fail that hard that it resulted in a lower production run or shelf life?
>>11743161>What the fuck happened with this line?they were simply trying to sell "all the sets" and spreading out the gang was the way to do it.they ironically thought the girl characters were less-desirable, so that's why they put them in the more-expensive sets. little boys could get Fred and Shaggy in the Van set, and Scooby was also in a polybag!if Lego did Scooby-Doo sets now, I bet Scooby himself would be locked into a $140 set. your only option to get the title character (that's sarcasm joke, but probably true)
These busts are actually better than the helmets
>>11743161>>11743177Don't be afraid, Lego Scooby Doo will return with the new Netflix live action show...
>>11742769They might lock the movie versions in bigger and more expensive sets going forward, get Hagrid now since he is in a cheap set
Predict the price lads, I say it can't be more than $150 and Lego would be insane to make it $200.No, max is $150. Mark my words.
>>11743183If someone wants a display piece of darth vader, why would they choose lego instead of a screen-accurate model?
>>11743187>They might lock the movie versions in bigger and more expensive sets going forward, get Hagrid now since he is in a cheap setSnape, too
>>11743195Because you're still "normal" if you justify it as Lego™.
>>11743193Lego bounced Zelda from $300 down to $140are they learning?I'm going to go wild with a super-generous estimate. $80. yes. eighty! that's how much the BTS set went for, right? light it up like dynamite!I think they want more normie-sales, maybe try and win back some good will among all the sad fans too poor to have bought the $400 Enterprise-D. sitting next to that, an $80 set feels like "pity-charity" yet it's still a good amount of money(who am I kidding? $150 gotta milk the cows)
>>11743193>this pedo againGo away, seriously.
What's your favorite Lego Submarine and how deep can it dive?
>>11743006Not really problematic. As long as you don't do this again.
>>11743196it's laughable how much shittier the new version of that set is compared to the old one, despite having almost 30 more pieces
>>11743161Scooby Doo was up against some tough competition like the Simpsons and didn't sell well. It was also a small wave and like you said Velma is only in one set. Unfortunately, that means there's a lot less supply in the secondary market than you would expect and since they never made anymore Scooby Doo all the demand is chasing that small volume.
Via Mandr, wtf are Lego doing?
>>11743240How does Mandr not get it? They cut corners on SW because people will buy it no matter what. He's literally the poster child for buying the sets and crying about them instead of just not buying them. And IMO the death slice was just made for influencers to show off and generate outrage. I mean they still let the paypiggies have at it but I really don't feel like that set was designed to sell.
>>11743247Mandr is a rich kid tho
>>11743038White people won a war against not-Nazis. This is always problematic.
>>11743240I don't care about his excruciating minifig autism
>>11743009>There was the Lone Ranger line a few years agoThat Lone Ranger line came out 13 years ago. there's a lot of shit that lines up that pretty much shows that like, 2014-2015 was probably the last great era of Lego anyway, so it fell in that time frame.
>>11743247He's autistic and doesn't understand how a company like lego operates even though he runs his own business>Why would you go to opening of a lego store in a different state when you could put that money into shiny custom fig packaging?????
>>11743215What's the problem, apart from the noses?
>>11743322Everything really, you can't depict indians these days without multiple tribes getting butthurt about appropriation. No teepees, no headdresses, no totem poles, no tomahawks
>>11743322What country do you live in
>new lotr movie comingThere is no way we don't get a full normal retail theme in 2027 with Hunt for Gollum, right? Shadows of the Past is eyeing Christmas 2028. So they have lots of media to make a full theme akin to Harry Potter.Will Lego do it? Like they have to do a tie in set(s) with these films.
>>11743326>>11743329If that set is considered harmful, how about one with a casino theme?
>>11743332So are you going to answer the question or
>>11743193I'm excited to see a bridge set.Personally, Star Trek would be very well suited for a midi "Starship Collection" scale line (with some minifgs included of course). Doing big ships, there's no way they'll do even close to everything people would want, but at midi scale they can pump out ships from all different factions and shows and get through quite a lot, IMO.
>>11743343>but at midi scale they can pump out ships from all different factions and shows and get through quite a lot, IMO.It would never happen, but I think a microfighter line for Star Trek would be pretty great
>>11743343>>11743345This Project Hail Mary set is how I could expect them to do some Trek sets and also the midi scale Star Wars style ships but all and I mean ALL must include atleast 1 or 2 minifigs.Going to watch the movie Today, heard its very Old Trek like so this is good for Lego since Paramount wants to make future Trek movies more like this. Bright future for both Lego and Trek.Now we just need a Dunc set.
>>11743331>story set after frodo diesdid tolkien ever write something like this or is it comlpete fanfiction?
>>11743161I made that exact face in the corner when I was reading about the LotR sequels.
>>11743363I got up and walked out and got my money back from the first hobbit movie when dr who showed up covered in bird shit being pulled by a fucking bunny sleigh.
i don kno why lego technic is not popular theme>cool functions>challenging building>vehicle exist in real lifeit's literally toys for adult
>>11743348>Now we just need a Dunc set.we already got one. What else could a Dunc set be? A harvester for $1000?
>>11743348>Going to watch the movie TodayIt's genuinely fantastic.Someone made a moc of Rocky using the Creator Cute Bunny set which caused it to sell out everywhere almost immediately.
>>11743393You know Easter is in like a week and a half right?
>>11743395He's brown, he doesn't know or respect easter
>>11743391I meant a Dunc 3 set, based on the new movie. Dunno about vehicles but they could do some cool dioramas like sandworms and more, even stuff from part 2.
>>11743425sandworm mite b cool but let's be realistic, that's another $1000 set. Maybe a smaller diorama but sales aren't great with these kinds of sets so the eternal jew at lego won't be satiated with a deal like this
>>11743183The helmet is so bad. The sheer volume of studs gives the impression of shag carpet
>>11743432Reminds me of this hair style
>>11743360Tolkien wrote the hobbit and those lovelies were, nonetheless, compete fanfiction.
>>11743360Its not after Frodo dies, by passing they mean when Frodo left for the elven lands, though I think that land is supposed to be heaven?
>>11743432both the helmet and bust are horrible. For me it's the mcdonalds brows

>>11743457What's this?
>>11743458A survey from LEGO for AFOOLs.
>>11741757Got both built already. Even invited my friend to put together the hut. As I suspected, the lack of villains is quite noticeable. The caravel itself is quite stunning and has plenty of distinct areas: bow, cabin, cargo hold, kitchen, and two-level stern area. Merry and the bar sets are probably the best paring out of all sets from the first wave, as the ship can dock comfortably to the pier or can be reached by the included boat. Right now I am playing out Shank's night infiltration of a docked ship, where he attempts to steal the coveted gum-gum fruit from the pirate crew. There was one extra katana and one extra sabre, which I really appreciate. In total, I paid 120 eur even for both of the sets. I really hope wave two makes marines more available>Any ideas what other scenes can be played out? Is arlong park set any good (the buggy set seems quite lame desu)?
>>11742951I used to make them. Post your favourite brickfilms :)https://youtu.be/Dg6uX_6j10E?si=nIeARlW8QS6_SVdzhttps://youtu.be/Yql1Ia6vvYA?si=q9soDT-syG86JfBHhttps://youtu.be/NctQDf5tWNk?si=IBKEdHuQVpGiD6iU
>>11743460So I can tell Lego to raise prices?
>>11743457>>11743460Told Lego to make more licensed anime themes, let's hope they listen.Also told them to bring back Bionicle as minifigure theme.
>>11743457Yeah, I'm not clicking that.
Post sets that you couldn't make today.
It still pains me that they based the One Piece sets on the shitty live action series rather than the anime or manga. The Going Merry is probably the bes set so far, allthough I hate that we got plastic sails over cloth ones.This whole theme is weird and rather than buying the sets I want to moc the locations myself to be more true to the source material.
>>11743475>Islanders>Wild West>Indians>Space Police 3 (implied racism because of factions having different races)>Mindstorms (gotta make children stay dumb)>anything that encourages imaginative play
>>11743471I got it from brickset.https://brickset.com/article/130655/the-lego-group-requests-your-feedback
>>11743477>gotta make children stay dumbIronic post is ironic
>>11743477>racism among toys???
>>11743476>It still pains me that they based the One Piece sets on the shitty live action series rather than the anime or mangaI tried watching the anime before trying the live-action version, and honestly it was quite sluggish and meandering. The netflix team with Eiichiro Oda as producer made the writing much tighter and enjoyable imo. I think if you are fan of the anime exclusively, you should find the sets to still match the source material quite well>>11743461Forgot to add my final wanted poster tally:- Alivda- Kuro- Mihawk + 2 sparesNot good not terrible. If I come across someone who also has these sets, I really hope to make a trade with them
>>11743480>police force are humans>villains are aliens>villains look like they came from the ghettoyeah it racist-coded
>>11743457>>11743478interesting little survey, I can't wait for TLG to learn nothing from it
Apologize
>>11743512I told lego to make more licensed sets but japan :)
>>11743491>think if you are fan of the anime exclusively, you should find the sets to still match the source material quite wellThat's my main issue with it. They mostly don't. 75636 should be an actual building with a bar. Buggys circus tent (75637) isn't as prominent in the anime and the set should focus more on the huge canon used to threaten louge town. Which isn't even in the set to begin with. The Baratie set looks way different and should have been foldable in half to have a full ship.All in all the atmosphere in the manga/anime is completely different. The live action series has this piss filter on it and everything looks so depressive. I feel like LEGO has done itself a disservice adapting the live action series. Imagine the cool molds we would have gotten for enemies.
>>11743513No, just buy the creator dragon, moc 2 castles, and you’ll have a better experience and save money. (Assuming you don’t want the Minifigs.)
>>11743478[see how much the pictures help?]I went to the brickset site and clicked the link from there, y'know, just in case.(pic related) enjoy! they are going to steal my Funko POP! mirror-ing idea and make a zillion dollars off it! and all I get was.... nothing?I also ranted about how sad I was that I didn't buy the Star Trek set. and I certainly wanted more Trek that I could afford. again, telling Lego how I want to spend my money on them.Lego can't even give me a $2 coupon for my efforts?
>>11743513for $360, ALL of those CMF figures (or a dozen new, equivalent ones) should have been in that set. Lego didn't do ANY of the cartoon cast, eitherstill was neat, and I did like that I could get some figures for $5 each. so there is genuinely a lot to like, but it's far from perfect
>>11743477I’ll never understand why species “racism” is a bad thing. If tigers or polar bears were intelligent enough to communicate to us in our own language they would still want to kill and eat us. They would still be incompatible with human environments and need to be separated from us.
>>11743515I don't think you can license a country.
This dude has everything a lego fan wants. Enough space and all the money in the world. Yet his builds (or lack there of) look completely soulless. It's crazy to me that people still watch this shit.
>>11743331Its gonna flop.
>>11743555I promise they’ll shoehorn some orange retard joke in there some where.
>>11743565Implying Steven lives to 2027
>>11743388No little figures representing characters from pop culture = auto dogshit
>>11743360No. If anything it contradicts what he wrote.
>>11743547Use basic logic, it's the same reason why they desperately tried to say that the aliens in Mars Mission were not natives either, the idea of humans going somewhere off earth and exploiting it for resources or trying to take authoratative control is not a good look. I love this one Mars Mission set where the vehicle has a little lab inside with a alien on a table and a giant tube plugged directly inside it, even a kid could see how fucked up this looks.
>>11743587The aliens tried to wipe out the life on mars guys so they 100% deserve it
>>11743587> idea of humans going somewhere off earth and trying to take authoratative control is not a good lookIt’s a great look.
Reminder- there’s only two things on earth we’ve never verified anywhere else in space: Chlorophyll and Animal Protein.The only thing we have to offer is lots of food and water.
>>11743535>didn’t do any of the cartoon castYeah, it’s not based on the shitty 80s Sunday morning cartoon, you autist. What kind of gripe is this?
Pac-Man World lego set with a fatass pacman minifigure and some iconic set pieces from the first gameAlso a brick built giant toc-man mech
>>11743636D&D + Max-Nostalgiawhat's hard to understand?Lego also didn't do the iconic 80's Action figures like Warduke and Zarakto me, it's all "Dungeons & Dragons" I shouldn't have to separate the things from the things. one is muh-book, one is muh-cartoon, muh-action figure company. it's D&D and should all be the same
>>11743512But anon, there ARE unlicensed, budget-friendly options — you can buy these Right Now. And what’s more, scalping is only an issue with respect to specific licensed sets (and even there, LEGO has always “printed to demand” — if you’re patient enough to wait a couple weeks, you’ll never have to deal with a reseller, outside of very particular GWPs or rewards sets).
Do you think lego just sees every other toy company as their bitch?
>>11743667Hasbro Negan'd the Lego attempt at action figures, it makes sense for Lego to Negan Hasbro's building system. Lego probably got a thrill out of itand yeah, Lego must also laugh at all the other "compatible with leading brands" block companies. they leave them alone because they are not even mosquitoes to the mighty Lego. if they posed any threat at all, I think Lego might up the lawyer-level on the obvious rip-offs
>>11743552His shitty building pisses me off too. He can really only stack bricks together. That's like 99% of his custom builds. Massive overuse of masonry bricks as well. He probably spends 1k on masonry bricks each month.But the worst IMO is his shitty filming. Every time he "invests" in the lego city it's just more green, brown, and gray Lego pieces. How about getting some better lighting and a camera rig so you can get some amazing macro shots and flybys? Nope just stand at the edge of the table and film with your cell phone. Complete fucking retard who just uses his city as an excuse to consoom the pick a bricks.
>>11743529>(Assuming you don’t want the Minifigs.)pretty dumb thing to assume
So the new harry potter series releases this Christmas. Will Lego release a wave in January?Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIu4sFKGi6E
Pretty close to image limit
>>11743391Sand worm bro>>11743587Wasn't a problem with Life on Mars, who were explicitly natives. Granted I think the context was much more friendly there but they did have some mean looking mechs.
>>11743739At no point was Life on Mars ever depicted as a theme about conflict, the human and alien vehicles can combine and the theme is the two species working together, lego didn't really do "conflict in a box" by that point yet and they probably wanted a peaceful theme to contrast Star Wars. The aliens in LoM are depicted as being able to defend themselves if necessary but this isn't relevant to any aspect of the theme or how it was marketed. Mars Mission is absolutely about "we need to kill these guys so we can harvest the planet outselves".
>>11743714I'm so sick of "streaming service" can't we all go back to "regular television"?????you know, you turn it on, it's free? paid with advertisements? like it was for like a hundred years?all these shows "bomb" because nobody can actually WATCH the freaking shows
>>11743744my lego guys killed the shit out of those gay aliens
>>11743744>lego didn't really do "conflict in a box"Ehhhhh, a lot of Space Police sets included a Blacktron guy to put in the jail cells.

It aired on comcast ondemand, I would watch it repeatedly.
>>11743763Having one bad guy minifig to put in tbe cells is different from every set in tbe theme making sure to give the good and bad guys each a vehicle to fight with.
>>11743749NTA but I get you. The thing with normalfags nowadays is, that they in fact don't want to watch tv anymore. They are short circuited and can't wait a week for the next episode to air. To them this concept is incomprehensible.I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan and don't have any sets, but this trailer looked decent.
>>11743781You still have to wait a week for the new episode with most streamed showsYou don't have to eatch ad segments in between though. Your watching and pissing schedule is not defined by the TV programme. Stop pretending like watching TV was better, it really wasn't
>>11743749what country do you live in where TV is free?my parents swapped to streaming because the cable bill wasn't worth itcable TV is 99% reality show slop and reruns of classics, and you need to go out of your way to find the remaining 1% and then wait for it to air before you can watch itcompare that to a streaming service, which has way more options and all of them can be watched instantly for a fraction of the costI think it's more expensive than cable to get EVERY streaming service, but 2 or 3 is still cheaper than what our cable bill wasstreaming shows is just objectively better
>>11743787>what country do you live in where TV is free?America for the past hundred years had like 8 free channels. buy the TV, plug it in, free.4 "major networks" ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox.PBS public broadcasting educational-stuffand about 3 syndication-style channels which played some new stuff and old re-runs and junkI get that streaming is technically "better" because Cable TV cost was outrageous and higher than all the streaming platforms put together. and picking shows to watch WHEN you want to watch, is an upgrade. but the bottom line is... it's complicated. and nobody wants to pay money to try and figure it out. it was so much easier when it was Wednesday, oh! Survivor is on tonight!
there should be an alien lego ip theme that came with a videogame and it was just a parody of the alien movie but it was made funny an family friendly sort of like jurassic park/worldit would be fun but the sets tied to it would all be overly grey
>>11743732Fuck off
>>11743854>alien lego ip themeLego makes 18+setsAdults Welcomewhen are we gettingreal adult sets?technically Jaws is a horror movie even if it was rated PG
>>>11743883when are we gettingreal adult sets?You mean huge ugly statues and sets that are overly detailed display-only structures with no cool playfeatures to play with?
>>11743890Yeah those are unironically my favourite
L.O.S.E.R.
where can I look up my options for naked fleshie torsos and legs?I have an idea for a moc, but it is of an IP so I'd like the minifigs to be fleshies
>>11743963https://store.bricklink.com/BrickBros20?itemID=420731473#/shop This guy has 8 naked fleshie legs
>>11743966how is that possible?I know there was that one old Harry Potter mermaid set with the light nougat plain legs, but as far as I remember, Lego never made blank light nougat hips (?... or did they?)
>>11743972Sometimes they got weird contacts or know the right mexican to get it done, gonna sidequest tomorrow to get a lot of pneumatic piping for later and storage containers so wish me luck, I know I will need it
>>11743990Other, this is gonna be my last expenditure for a while I feel so gotta make it count
>>11743972The lego store in Germany is famous for putting out large batches of pieces in unreleased colors or speciallized printed elements like slopes and tiles. On bricklink you can find a number of German sellers who will have like 90+ of some weird piece no one else has.
>>11743931Then you should be fine we get plenty of them!
>>11743783You watch ads now on most streaming services though, you have to pay extra for ads free version and now for 4k quality too. There are also too many streaming services so its more expensive than tv.
Puss in boots
I'm about to brickowl the school girl, zombies, grey alien and centaur girl cmf's.
>>11744065>buying lower quality minifigsSoulless, reject cmf figs.
>>11743854The space CMF series had a unique version of the bug monsters from Galaxy Squad that was supposed to be a little bit of a Xenomorph homage. You can especially see it in the head shape.I'm honestly surprised Galaxy Squad wasn't really that popular. There could have been a neat video game there, since the bad guys were just bug monsters, so you could probably get away with all the "killing" not being so violent or whatever. The bug dude minifigures from that theme were actually pretty cool, too. It is kind of a shame that it wasn't really that popular of a theme.
>>11744101Always wondered if these guys are also meant to be a light reference to Insectoids. Builds for Galaxy Quest are solid but hate the human's vehicles that always look like an eyesore. Alien vehicles are cool though.
>>11744103Probably. At least, as far as the vehicles go. The Insectoid minifigures never really looked all that insect-like to me, aside from maybe their helmets.I never really understood why people disliked the Galaxy squad vehicles, though. There was a lot of modularity to them, which I thought was cool. I especially liked that Green Team vehicle that was like a large tank with a turret on it, but it turns out the turret is actually a mech that can pop out, and the whole front of the vehicle can open up and a smaller rover can come out. You can even fit the small green team hover vehicle that comes with a different set in the front too.But the bug minifigures were still probably the best part of that line.
>>11744107Like a lot of modern themes I find the color scheme inpleasent. Good guys look too juniorized with a basic white/black/grey then only one overly bright color as a contrast. The alien vehicles piss me off because the aliens themselves are a pretty pleasing mix of olive green and dark red but the vehicles use the much uglier lime green for some reason.
does anyone know where on lego.com they keep the minifigure lore? I wanted to reread the minifigures series 14 lore but I only found the product pageit described who each fig was or what they didsuch as the tiger girl being a human trainer, or how the trick or treater somehow stumbled into a monster world and now wears his costume 24/7 to not get caught by the real monsters(they all already know that he's human, but he doesn't know that they know)the page I'm looking for had those lore details for every figure in the pack
>>11744107just looked these up and got sticker shock. way more expensive than the CMF
>>11744113I see what you're saying. I did think the human minifigs were probably way too colorful. Might have been better if their colors were a bit darker or more muted. I like that, in yet another CMF line, there was a black "faction" of the Galaxy squad guys. He was probably the best looking one, too.>>11744117Yeah, some of them like the red one and the mantis one were only in the bigger sets anyway, IIRC. I think only the regular green one and the mosquito guy were in the smaller sets.

>>11743393Is there a pirated copy of the build instructions for this available? The guy (with a beard) who designed it has been crashing out on twitter because people are calling him a him, and I'll be damned if I give money to a troon.https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-256214/The_Astral_J/rocky-space-friend/#details
>>11742257>>11742260>>11742262>>11742265There are also the old gold and silver masks (2002 era?), which had a kind of marbled texture, and the old sort of champagne gold (Bricklink calls it pearl light gold) that the old C-3PO was. I can appreciate the nightmare that is all of Lego's tiny color permutations.

>>11744107>The Insectoid minifigures never really looked all that insect-like to me, aside from maybe their helmets.They're not supposed to. The story for the Insectoid theme was that they're aliens that escaped their homeworld that was ruled by a tyrannical empire (at least some versions have them specifically be the same alien species as the UFO ones, though the minifigure face prints look completely different) and hid inside a hollow planet. The interior of the planet is populated by giant insects, so they modified their vehicles to look like insects in order to blend in and avoid being attacked by the insect.

Not too bad for a 1970 design (though I changed the colours and modified a few pieces. It's also a bit small, but I jus want it to sit at the back of a table, on a hill. Might even line it with black card and whack a couple of light-bricks inside.

Since Fox McCloud is going to be in the Mario Galaxy movie, does this mean Lego will make Star Fox sets? It would be a better theme than Slop Wars and really want a minifigure of Krystal.
>>11744334Imagine if lego made super mario galaxy movie sets, crazy our first minifig sets will be in a non movie year. I do wonder if the live action Zelda movie will get multiple sets or just one Icons set.
>>11744334I predict a super smash bros movie next.

>threads are going to have constant posts begging for every Nintendo IP in smash forever nowGrim
>>11744394Like I said. Just terrible.
>>11744389It's basically Star Wars but with furries.Lego Star Fox would be shoe in, I could easily imagine Lego making an Arwing, Landmaster and Great Fox. Include all the main pilots through sets and I'd buy all of them.>>11744401No, I just want Lego Star Fox. The point being that Fox is going to be a major player in the SMG movie, and Lego already makes plenty of Nintendo themes.

>>11744389 N64 Starfox was kind of like Crash Bandicoot but with Space Combat. Pretty novel at the time. Fine for babies. His real legacy however is Smash Bros.
