>>11751038I like it
I have never used Bricklink and i really want her minifig seeing how she's never getting another set, what am i in for?Are there scammers here? Any deep website trading lore i should be aware of before i make a purchase?
>>11751038I've been a hardcore bonklefag ever since I was a kid and there's no issue with this whatsoever, stop trying to manufacture outrage.
>>11751038OP image is wrong, the devastated wojak should be in the middle by the time its revealed the tahu is nothing but a fake cosplayer, pic related should be at the reveal at the handkerchief bandage wrapping at the back of the head
>>11751056Pic related is another good wojak for an alternate attempt for the meme the OP image was trying to attempt. The middle image doesnt convey the amount of disappointment, disgust, and abject rage that was had when it was found out the tahu lego was nothing but a shitty imposter and was just a normal schlub instead of a real bionicle character like it should've been.
>>11751038It's weird that they could have just completely omitted the headband print and it would have been perfectly acceptable as a cosplayer and would me mostly fine as just a Tahu.
>>11751059>>11751056Alternatively, blow your fucking faggot-brain out along with OP.
>all reusesDamn
>>11751060Wrong, it still wouldve been a slap in the face to still have it be a cosplayer even without the headband bit in the back. They should've made it the real tahu and had the minifig head print look like the unmasked bionicle faces instead. I think its absolutely fucking stupid and unnecessarily cruel to make it a cosplayer as just a "fuck you" to fans because lego hates bionicle and has a weird autistic fixation on retarded costume shit
>>11751062Back the fuck off!
>>11751064It would have been better and more acceptable. Obviously the brain stock and Mata face print would have been better, but they purposefully made this not actually Tahu. The canister also would have made no sense if they did. Who knows, maybe if they ever do a 'real' Tahu it'll have proper prints (without their shitty excuse of "we didn't know how, so we didn't do anything") and a proper head and weapon, but this is it for now. The mask could have been a whoooooole lot shittier, so I'll at least be happy that that, the most iconic part of Tahu, was done right.
>>11751067>Obviously the brain stock and Mata face print would have been better, but they purposefully made this not actually Tahu. The canister also would have made no sense if they did.The police man from series 18 that represented the first lego minifig lego set came with a tiny version of his own lego set too. It doesnt have to make sense, its a lego toy. It shouldve been the real tahu, end of story. Fuck lego
Speed Champions will be $30 starting with this set
Damn, I need a bigger mug for all these tears.
>>11751072
>>11751064>had the minifig head print look like the unmasked bionicle faces insteadThat's what I was totally expecting, sucks it's not >unnecessarily cruel to make it a cosplayer as just a "fuck you" to fans because lego hates bionicle and has a weird autistic fixation on retarded costume shitI don't think it's that deep though. And Bionicle fanatics should really move on already, it was great back in the day but it's over. The sheer obsession some of you have with that dead franchise is insane, there's plenty of things I loved as a kid that are no more, but I still have the old toys and good memories and I'm fine with it. Not everything needs to come back.
>>11751071I won't argue with "should've", especially considering we're getting the 'real' Lloyd, though he's not called that, but the fact of the matter is we're not. When we first heard the names I was being optimistic and thinking we'd still get the proper face print. There was that one Takanuva cosplayer who made the head, didn't just wear an Avohkii, so that's what I was hoping they'd take inspiration from, thereby this could be either a very well done cosplay or straight up Tahu. I guess Bionicle has been a series in the world of Lego for a while, with games and what not, so I guess a cosplayer of that is what this one is based off of. If we ever get proper System Bionicle sets and they look like this, then that'd be a problem. As is, expecting anything differently was probably just optimistic.
Leakers did the gimmick again, mixing a few real leaks with fake ones like they did in other years. They do not want to tell us which leaks are real, so it is up to you to guess which of the LEGO leaks are legit. Personally, I hope the Dune, Avatar, and Zelda leaks are true. You?
>>11751077>I don't think it's that deep though. I think it is, lego has demonstrated time and time again they HATE bionicle and this is no exception>And Bionicle fanatics should really move on already, it was great back in the day but it's over. The sheer obsession some of you have with that dead franchise is insane, there's plenty of things I loved as a kid that are no more, but I still have the old toys and good memories and I'm fine with it. Not everything needs to come back.Then why do boomers and gen-x get their 80s shit franchises constantly revived ad nauseam while companies unfairly ignore 2000s era properties and never give my generation their own nostalgia market. I fucking hate it.
>>11751085I also think Halo is real. And the Incredibles car in Speed Champions.
>>11751085Leakers are dumb. Who is this fun for?Mata Nui for me (though it's up against some pretty tough competition so it doesn't feel likely). Scaled up Vader might be fun.
>>11751038They did it!
>>11751086>hen why do boomers and gen-x get their 80s shit franchises constantly revived ad nauseambionicle had a g2 and it flopped, get over it
>>11751090I wouldn't say this counts, not until we get a proper set (like the GWP but as a set on store shelves, even as a one-off/icons type set). That was probably their attempt at a tease though.
>>11751086Because most of these things made way more of a cultural impact than Bionicle. You may think Bionicle was extremely huge back in the day but it really wasn't. Yes, it lasted several years and had toys, books and some games and movies, but compared to things like Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, GIJoe or 90s franchises like Pokémon or even YuGiOh it was fairly small on the whole zeitgeist.
>>11751087I don't understand why Halo would be real. I realize mega gave up on it so there is a gap in the market, but that's because Halo is a dead IP. I know the niche exists in the third party market but I have serious doubts about it being a profitable venture. I say this as someone who would enjoy a bunch of lego halo playsets releasing.
>>11751100A Halo remake of the first game is coming this fall and is set to reboot the series to a new generation after Infinite failed. Also, if we do get sets they will be most likely 18+ sets like Zelda. Mattel Brick Shop is rumoured to release a set this fall but this doesn't stop Lego from releasing sets in 2027 if they made a deal, like it happened with Pokemon.
>>11751104I realize microsoft is still trying the bare minimum with the franchise, but Halo fan to Halo fan? The series is dead, and has been for a long time. "Halo Studios" is a facade.
>>11751100You have to remember, sometimes purely keeping an IP away from other companies is more worthwhile then actually having it. Unless the IP is a major dud in terms of playset potential, like Avatar was because "no war imagery except when we allow it", it's worth hoarding.
Another possibility is Lego will release Halo sets in 2028 if they got the rights this year
Whats up with LEGO Group obsession with Bionicle pandering? They are putting Bionicle stuff everywhere. NO other theme gets so much astrosurfing among other themes.
>>11751124>astrosurfingPlease learn what words mean.
>>11751124Because the current designers are fans of it who grew up with it. Since a full blown revival will probably remain unlikely, this is their way of getting some Bionicle nods out there. And it's getting the most exactly because of the impact Bionicle had. Look at any post about CMF29, Tahu is by far the one taking the most attention out of the set. Even those who don't care about him are specifically highlighting him in their thumbnails too.
>>11751041Just read their terms and services before you buy? You can make quotes if they dont list shipping.
>>11751046>no issue with this whatsoever, stop trying to manufacture outrage.I love how open the back is because if means with a transparent head it's going to have massive light piping. I was worried it would be solid molded head or something. I
G3 is going to happen in 2027, I feel it.
>>11751131Bionicle will return with G3 as a reboot turning them into living mechs with pilots like Neon Genesis. The pilots will be minifigures and the mechs will be brick built.
>>11751135Would fans seethe? Sounds more like a Hero Factory reboot to meNow I want a Furno minifig
>>11751135So... totally changing the concept. Fans would love that.
>>117511312026 for the 25th seems like it would have made the most sense, but who knows. >>11751135This does seem like the style Lego would currently go, with minifigure Toa, and Exo-Toa type mechs (but probably appropriately Toa colored) seems like the most logical way to handle modern Bionicle. Alternatively, the GWP is a pretty nice template but the size might limit potential builds for environments, enemies, etc. Buildable enemies and Rahi would make a lot of make.The problem is that this is pretty close to current Ninjago already. Colored and elemental protagonists, mech-like builds for the characters, etc, which would probably make it feel pretty redundant. Also the 6 Toa seems problematic for the sake of unique parts and cost of completing the team, so maybe the core team would have to be smaller, with a rotating cast of allies here and there.
Bionicle isn't coming back
>Lego has enough money to burn to make Messi and Ronaldo share the same room>but not to bring back BionicleWhyAlso, apparently Lego paid for the ad... atleast most of it...
>>11751145>Fans would love that.Fans are the reason G2 failed (obviously not just the fans who didn't support because it wasn't exactly G1. Story was shit and shallow, no media support except 30s shorts, certainly didn't help). If Bionicle was ever to come back, those fans can't be counted on to carry the Theme.
>>11751143
>>11751124Best nod is'nt even in this picthe bohrok one from robot land is so sick
>>11751074Are these stickers or prints?Having a Hoonigan tile print would be sick
>>11751151I want it done like Tahu
Bringing back Bionicle as a sort of exo force type theme with mechs for toa minifigures fighting big rahi monsters is genius. Lego needs a new theme that's more budget friendly, something like they had for Mixels. I think if they make it budget friendly it can be a hit with kids, a bionicle revival needs to get the new generation.
>>11751159children have fortnite what the fuck would bionicle do
>>11751159Kids don't play with Lego unless it's an established brand like Star Wars or something.
>>11751160Put bionicle minifigures in fortnite then...
>>11751171you just want bionicle to be an endless slop franchise like batman or spiderman. youd understand its already a complete story and dont need endless reboots. get over it
>>11751171Didn't they already try rebooting the franchise and it failed horribly?
Like I’ve said before, Moana cancelled Bionicle. Best you’re going to get is a cosplay minifigure and you fuckers will buy it anyway.
>>11751179How come no one gets pissy about like God of War or Dune or Avatar or hell the Sheikah in Zelda?
>>11751184Oh they did, but the rights holders ignore them. Lego didn't.
>>11751184It gets to be a problem when it's not just inspired by but uses real, culturally significant elements out of context.
With them making older Lloyd, and him likely appearing in a Legends miniseries like Kai did, I wonder why they didn't make a Monstrosity Kai in this way. Not like the actual sets had him looking anything like he did in the animation.
Ninjago x Bionicle crossover when?
>>11751187Except Bionicle was clearly just inspired by some elements of the culture. It was all stylized and nothing was directly replicated except for a few words. Might as well get angry at like Captain Planet.
>>11751197Also nothing felt offensive. Maybe the great beings were Maori and just named their creations that way. Doesn't seem any different from say Pacific Rim using Jaeger for the mech heroes and Kaiju for the monster villains. But maybe some specific words used were special?
Are we gonna get a minidoll of Jack Skelington? I think Sally works super well in this style
>>11751179They kept making bionicle 9 years after this shit though You're a retard>and you fuckers will buy it anyway.No i fucking will not, fuck you. I will get the trash monster because hes cool and maybe the robo t-rex and the sexy witch but that is it. I refuse to get the fake imposter tahu minifig.
>>11751204What if you get Tahu... they are blind boxes anon, then what
>>11751197Assume you're reallly religious. How would you feel if someone marketed a line of toys to children but called them demons?
>>11751207I'm surprised by the number of people that still think this. >>11751204Must as well ask what everyone is getting. My current plans are Tahu (cosplayer), Lloyd, and the monster hunter. I was originally thinking of the Red but I'll pass.
>>11751207>What if you get Tahu... they are blind boxes anon, then whatIm gonna use the scanner app. If i do get """tahu""" ill probably create scenarios where other minifigures torture and crucify him for being a false idol and standing in the place of the real tahu
>>11751217>Assume you're reallly religious. How would you feel if someone marketed a line of toys to children but called them demons?Nta but anyone who gets angry at that is a stupid fundie retard. Like the same bible thumper types who would get mad at spawn toys in the 1990s. Its just as fucking stupid when those islanders were complaining about bionicle as when the holy rollers here were screeching over darth maul action figures.
NINJAGO CHADS. BEATRIX IS BACK!821 pieces, $90
>>11751150Shit story and next to zero marketing. Never saw them at Walmart or Target and Toys R Us was on the decline by 2015. And it didn't help a lot of the late Millennials/ early Gen Z that grew up with G1 were no longer getting Lego sets as gifts, they had to enter the workforce to buy the reboot of their nostalgia thing and the job market for highschoolers in 2015 was pretty fucking bad.
>>11751221Why? Should I not be allowed to think something is trivializing or commercializing my culture? I mean, I'm kinda being Devil's advocate here, I don't really care either way, but what gives you the right to say other people aren't allowed to think like that?
>>11751149>Lego paid for the adI see they're pulling the WotC move and blowing money on IPs to attract new customers instead of appealing to enfranchised customers that would be willing to spend even more. Brilliant.
>>11751225It was 5 years too early for fans to be in a good position to buy them, but 5 years too late for there to be a worthwhile story. Maybe nowadays they'd be able to find a balance, but they have to know how and why shit like "Protector of Fire" isn't as cool as something like "Vakama, Turaga of Ta-Koro". Even just giving them a name would have gone a long way to make them into real characters. With how sets are named nowadays, as generic as possible, it probably wouldn't stick.
>>11751231>wotcWhere is dungeons and dragons series 2 or theme?
>>11751171Straight up Bionicle skins in Fortnite would be a gold mine
>>11751233They're too busy Fortniteifying Magic
>>11751235I find it crazy we didn't get a Magic the Gathering set, last year green dragon from ninjago legends looke like nikol bolas
>>11751241What pop culture thing does Magic have besides the cards other than old video games and niche novels?
>>11751063>$200Damn it>>11751223Is Beatrix mech part monster now? Her left arm seems to be made of tentacles
>>11751250Anon is saying they're just making sets based on all sorts of pop culture stuff nowadays, and their own lore has kind of fallen by the wayside. TMNT, Spider-Man, Marvel in general, Warhammer, LOTR, etc etc.
>>11751255TMNT and Spiderman just got new TV shows and movies.
>>11751255It's sad because the creatives are genuinely passionate about lego's own themes whenever possible but just never get as many opportunities to do anything fun since a new light bluish gray dust collector needs to be designed every month.
>>11751260Forgot pic, was in my dark ages so I missed out on it but one of the most kino sets from modern lego.
>>11751184Because those cultures don't eat peopleThe Maori only stopped in the 1950s and nobody wants them to start up again
>>11751230Because they are being hysterical crybabies trying to censor because of their retarded beliefs. Its the same deal with SJW feminists trying to use political correctness to try and get TV episodes wiped and or specific characters removed from pop culture franchises for being "offensive". Cancel culture is fucking cancerous which ever side uses it and it needs to be stomped out no matter what whenever or wherever it rears its ugly fucking head!
>>11751230>Should I not be allowed to think something is trivializing or commercializing my culture?They're 'allowed' to do that, but no one is obligated to listen to them. I'm sure there were plenty of Maoris who just thought Bionicle was cool.
>>11751089>Leakers are dumb. Who is this fun for?Lego probably tells them to do it because it gets people discussing it, engagement boosts it in the algorithm.
>>11751063>>all reuses>Damnwhere the list of characters?(c'mon leaker, you gotta know this is a little extreme with the blur)
Bought a few small sets with my paycheck earlier this week on amazon, including two road plate packs and some sampler friends sets. These Road Plates are much bigger than I thought them to be
>>11751223I know, she was in the series. I just posted about it. >>11750910>>11751254Yeah, the portal she sent through in season 1 sent her to the realm of monsters and she got transformed into a cyborg monster. Her mech has teeth too.
>>11751301oh and if you ever have wondered, yes the Friends hairpieces are normal head compatible
You guys seriously watch multiple 30 minute poorly written advertisements? The ninjago sets are pretty good but I can't imagine watching that shit past beimg age 10.
they should not have expanded the color pallet. everything was so vibrant and cohesive
>>11751038With World cup coming up, They should re-release/reimagine the football championship sets. I bet they would sell quite well
>>11751064Lego hates Bionicle because they... made a Bionicle minifigure?
>>11751195Pedo>>11751147Singapore
>>11751308Yes my entire life was this
>>11751255It's weird how much of these are nostalgia for the 80s but Lego will literally never make a set that has the aesthetic of the 80s anymore. Even the literal 80s spaceship shit is all new and expensive and huge and lacks studs and shit. Theres probabaly kids designing for Lego didn't even grow up in the 80s or even 90s...
>>11751184They erased the original Gerudo moon and star symbol and literal Muslim chanting samples from songs in Zelda 64 version 1 because of Muslims.Shiek ended up not even being brown (it was going to be an original character not Zelda) so it didn't matter so much.
I never got the appeal of bionicle. Just masked robot power rangers that arent even "real lego". Why are so many autists obsessed with this?
>>11751314Its not a real bionicle minifig though its some geek pretending to be a bionicle
>>11751328>muh "real lego"The system is overrated shit, suck my dick lego shill
>11751328
>>11751327>They erased the original Gerudo moon and star symbol and literal Muslim chanting samples from songs in Zelda 64 version 1 because of MuslimsTo be fair that wasn't because anyone complained, they just had a company rule against real life religious symbols in games. Which was why they removed the cross from the shield from the original game.
>>11751323Funny enough, the little freebie GWPs like this and the forestmen hideout probably did better at capturing the aesthetic of the old versions of these sets than the actual big sets they released for $100+.
>>11751323Because they literally can't. Literaly so many colors and molds simply aren't made anymore. Old Castle? Bluish grays now, wall panals aren't used anymore. Old Space? Enjoy not having any of the trans neon colors or specialized elements used for ships and speeders. In the early 2000s they rereleased a number of old sets, I think they wished they could do this but with the shift from 04 so much was lost that just isn't possible now.
>>11751334>those back wing panalsSoulless...
>>11751328>that arent even "real lego"You won't believe it but this is why a lot of people liked it.
>>11751340so why even seethe about the bionicle minifigure now?
>>11751040same, I get it's a cosplay
>>11751184Ton of Arabs whine about the orientalism of Dune and the Gerudo
>>11751343That's a fair point. Shouldn't it be insulting to Bionicle fans that a Lego brick figure and not in the more OG style?
>>11751343I don't speak for them, I think it's fun. They probably wouldn't be happy unless Lego just recreated the old molds.>>11751355When DB asked the designers about why there was no side of arm or leg printing, this thought process almost seemed like what they may have been thinking, that it needed to be overly detailed like that. I think any Bionicle fan that likes the idea of Bionicle minifigures is fully aware that the level of detail won't compare with the old sets, and would be happy with more simplified details due to the nature of the item. But, instead of more simplified details, they opted for no details, which is just... odd, especially when their reason is that they couldn't figure out how to make it look when that's literally their jobs. I don't think anything we get that's made with care (like the mask and canister print) should be felt as insulting. It'd be like getting mad at the GWP, or the various easter egg details in various sets (which some were, of course), but that's the nature of all fandoms that don't get exactly what they want. It isn't like we got "Bionicle cosplayer" and the mask is part of the face print, or something like that, which would have been insulting.
>>11751184Jeets cancelled that Indiana Jones set recently because of the whole death demon worship. Er I mean their gods.
>>11751363But this “pilot” is just fine.
>>11751363Mola ram was based, if anything indians should be honored that they were represented by such a badass cool villain.
>>11751367The weirdest part of that set was the printed 1x1 tile with the Nazi party membership card implying that the pilot is an ideological Nazi and not just a German Luftwaffe pilot in the 1940s.
>>11751363I mean, I love Indiana Jones but yeah Temple of Doom is pretty racist. How Lego appeoved of the guy in brown face as a minifig in the initial wave is crazy.
>>11751370faggot
Making a castle Fort from my childhood spare parts for my son... okay it's for me. I may need to buy more specific pieces as I expand it and build interior furnishings for it.
>>11751370Indy saves a bunch of jeet kids from evil jeets. How is it racist? Indy didn’t invent the caste system.
>>11751370Bait>>11751381BasedI feel it's a personal failure if I have to bricklink a part and can't simply complete something with parts out of my childhood collection
>>11751038But Bonkle masks ARE just the front piece so it makes sense that the back is exposed
>>11751038you CAN just switch the heads out for something else if you don't like it it's lego. i actually don't get why people are so butthurt over this thing...
>>11751363Funniest thing is, I'm pretty sure the "offensive" part of the movie was the dinner scene, where it shows the monkey-brain eating scene that is played for a laugh at a "weird, foreign culture."Best thing is, showing Indians sitting at a table and digging into and eating the brains of a monkey is orders of magnitude more civilized than what Indians actually eat considering all of the videos showing Indian food stalls where they are scraping what looks like literal shit into bowls while they drip sweat into all the food, scrape dropped shit up off the floor, scratch their bare foot or armpit and then pick up food and plate it all with their hands, all while bugs and/or rats crawl across it all.
>>11751385I mean, I know it's based on old radio serials but it's a white savior trope. Why couldn't a jeet do it?
>>11751413Short round is a slope and Indy wouldn’t have made it if it weren’t for him. White savior my ass.>>11751410I suspect you are correct. I bet it was the live born snakes.
>>11751416Short Round never confronts or defeats the central antagonist in a decisive way. Oh, sure he helps with the kids and stuff but the outsider is the one who ultimately fixes everything.
>>11751413Caste is so densely implicated that it would have been near impossible for a single indian to have saved everybody vs an outsider interrupting a cult slave deal, btw thuggees and kali ma are real>>11751416It was a group effort and luck that saved that village of future call scammers, it would likely look the same nowadays but with a few “skyscrapers” implemented, reminds me of that tale of a british guy who just happened to be traveling along a highway discovering a family being terrorised by a specific type of honey bear (that has the highest people kill count for bears in general btw) out of pure chance, maybe Lucas and Speilberg heard of such tales and got inspired, shit of a guy with a gun just coming along by chance and helping out used to be a lot more common than people think, interesting stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j86EZmCyl2s
>>11751428Still not out of page when it comes to stuff like India, SEA, and Africa. There has been a real historical precedent of just crazy shit getting broken up by random travelers who get detoured from a mission over there, shits wack
>>11751386The problems to some (myself included) is that if it wasn't for the headband print, if one wanted to pretend this was straight up Tahu they could (though he'd have a missing brain stalk for soem reason), but with the headband print, seeing him from behind explicitly shows that this isn't Tahu. >>11751409Trans pink heads aren't particularly accessible. It seems to be the case that the only one available is a printed one, though the ones from bricklink don't have the print for some reason. One could of course pick another color, but there isn't really one suitable on PaB. If someone wants to give him the G2 light blue eyes they do have those though.
>>11751437I feel some guy is gonna mould some minifig heads in resin dyed to match the specific color of these in the coming months and sell em for a hefty price, just feels like the way this shit always goes
>>11751329Change the head.
>>11751038You get what you heckin deserve!
>>11751413Because nobody would go see that movie.
>>11751413>White Savior TropeYou mean real life? Or did you think another race ended slavery and the barbaric caste system?
>>11751467>anon thinks slavery is overGo back to your toys.
Jeets should make a story with evil depraved christians dismembering, raping and slaving people in the name of demon lord Jesus christ wait that actually happened irl lol
>>11751472Which were probably made by some Vietnamese guy working in a sweatshop for a dollar an hour on a 12 hour shift.
Why are people so sensitive to getting shit from their childhood criticized? I watched and loved the Indiana Jones movies as a kid and stil watch and love them, I don't think saying actors doing brown face or yellow face is outdated is that weird of a take. These movies aren't going anywhere, it's a profitible IP and Disney isn't suddenly going to stop milking it because of this shit. They couldn't even film Temple of Doom on location because the Indian government thought the script was racist so it was moved to Sri Lanka resulting in some silly moments. Stop thinking every argument is black and white, no one is calling for the films to be deleted so you don't need to deem every element of it is fine actually to justify its existence.
>>11751472>Whites didn't end slavery chud!Anon would you care to tell the class where slavery is still prevalent in the world? Because the answer isn't going to be a white nation.>>11751481Funny thing is that Lego is Danish and made entirely in Europe so no not even that lame ass argument doesn't work.
>>11751488>made entirely in EuropeHe doesn’t know.
>>11751485>no one is calling for the films to be deletedHe says while Disney is unwilling to release Song of the South and the very same thing could happen to Temple of Doom because of nimby faggots like yourself giving critics an inch which only leads to them taking a mile.
>>11751485I think its bullshit that they wont make temple of doom merch anymore. Its my favorite indy movie and mola ram is cool as fuck and the fact he cant ever get another action figure again means that Kathleen Kennedy should be punched in the fucking face over it for being a overly PC cunt. Fuck you
>>11751475Dude im not even christian, i hate that jesus shit too but political correctness is also fucking retarded and repressive in very similar ways as christfaggotry
>>11751488Consider human trafficking, debt bondage and prison labor. Then tell me slavery doesn't exist among the white nation.
>>11751488Where do you think Lego gets the raw materials for their plastic?
>>11751501>human traffickingIs illegal and committed chiefly by.... nonwhites. But sure just pretend this shit is prevalent in Europe, Canada, and the US. >debt bondage Literally the fault of the person taking on debt. The only reason someone is a debt slave is their own voluntary decisions. >prison laborOh no people that broke the law are expected to pay back their debt to society via unpaid work! Oh how terrible! Oh wait that isn't slavery and never was. Go fuck yourself.
>>11751505Jesus Christ if you need to do multiple degrees of separation in a desperate attempt to shit of white people then you've lost.
>>11751475Your cats are still dead.>>11751506>>11751507It’s likely froggy if we’re being real, considering (what) he is.
>>11751506>Literally the fault of the person taking on debt. The only reason someone is a debt slave is their own voluntary decisions.Not necessarily. There are plenty of people who are financially illiterate or take out loans without understanding the terms, the interest, etc. But there are plenty of times, (mostly in housing) where people can afford their mortgage one day, and then due to unforeseen price increases in property tax, insurance, escrow, etc. a person can afford their house one day, and then be priced out of it by thousands of dollars a week later due to means beyond their control.
>>11751506>But sure just pretend this shit is prevalent in Europe, Canada, and the US.Jeffrey Epstein.
Do we need to burn this thread? Weren't we just talking about Bionicle this morning? What are you guys talking about anymore.
>>11751518Okay go burn it you have my permission
>>11751511>There are plenty of people who are financially illiterate or take out loans without understanding the terms, the interest, etc.This is like saying there are people who smoke cigarettes without knowing they're bad for them. This is a lame ass excuse and you know it.
>>11751506>mah 13th AmendmentHow many guns do you own?
>>11751491Damn, can't believe disney can erase all known copies of the film known to man. At least argue with actual lost films and not shit you can find after a google search.
>>11751523It isn't an excuse, you're just too dumb to realize I was agreeing with you in some cases, but you're wrong in many others.
>>11751491>Song of the South>Temple of Doomit's insane to think about the deletion of work of this magnitude. so much work to make those films. and they just press a button. buh-bye! there can be no better advertisement for "physical media" I hope you gotz the blu-ray it's the only way those things can be safe guarded.did anybody else catch the new Willow series they made? it was super-woke in all the maximum ways, but still, I thought it was alright. Disney yoinked it off D+ for a tax write-off or something, and it's just gone. a whole show, gone forever. (I didn't research if it got a physical release, it wasn't that good)also, the first Willow movie should have been good enough to have gotten a Lego set by now, you think?
Where do they stand on the racism power level?
>>11751525It's apparent you own none
>>11751518Well, I got some stuff today. Finally bought something for the first time ever from a Bricks and Minifigures store. Got all these for $30. Celestial Sled is missing the antenna, and the minifigure's visor is cracked a little. The ice planet CMF didn't come with the hair piece, and I replaced the trans orange chainsaw with a trans neon orange one. I had been wanting to get some Roboforce minifigures, so I got the only one they had there, but I should have looked him over because both of his arms were cracked, and he doesn't have the right backpack (its the darker gunmetal grey instead of black.) But it is at least the printed legs version, and those are a bit rarer than the plain black legs version. I'll just get new arms or another torso.
>>11751531This kinda thing happens with video games all the time.
>>11751538Mine always charges insane prices for anything made before the 2010s, I remember they had the Blacktron I racecar from the original wave for like $600. Not new in box or even complete. Just the fucking set itself.
>>11751544Yeah, most of the stuff is usually pretty overpriced. I think the sled was like $12 and CMF was $7? Actually, I think it was a bit more than $30, because I think the Roboforce guy was $14 or $15, but I thought eh fuck it.
So... what's wrong with a Lego guy cosplaying a Bionicle?
>>11751552I mean the fact he can't see where the fuck he's going in that mask might be a concern. Especially since he's holding an open flame.
>>11751552Just kind of annoying since no face print can properly replace it. I'll probably just use a trans red head for mine but just kind of silly they couldn't let it be the actual character.
Actual best minifig of the line.
>>11751413>it's a white savior tropeOkay? What's the problem with that? Captain African-American saves white people in the latest capeshit and that's fine, but a white hero saves some jeets and that's racist?
>>11751064I don't get why Lego can't just make a normal Bionicle homage. It's just blind bags and GWP sets.
>>11751135Get in the Exo-Toa Hewkii, or Macku will have to do it again
>>11751570>lego pubes
>>11751570Your typical /toy/ poster
I haven't bought cmfs in several years, how is the paint quality on them? Some of my older ones with more complicated prints, like the pajamas boy with all tbe stripes, have worn off heavily over the years even just sitting untouched. These new ones seems more elaborate then ever but I question how long prints this detailed can last with this line.
>>11751038>backview picEh, the minifigure is labelled as Bionicle cosplayer, so I expected something like this. Plus, if someone doesn't like it, they can just replace it with a translucent minifig head.
>>11751624There's no trans pink minifig head.
>>11751488>Anon would you care to tell the class where slavery is still prevalent in the world? Because the answer isn't going to be a white nation.Slavery is banned worldwide, but it still endures where laws have little reach.
>>11751633Wait until you teach them about the prison–industrial complex.
>>11751628
>>11751633>still endures where laws have little reach.Yeah, Africa.
>>11751637Less than 12% of prisons are private. You're talking shit.
>>11751633>Slavery is banned worldwideAnd who is responsible for that?
>>11751622I've never even heard of the print just wearing away for no reason like that.
>>11751594that was not even lego. shit made linear actuator malfunction even i reassemble it correctly i fucking hate mouldking it was total disgrace. i will never buy non lego technic again
>>11751639>no sets listed with it>literally only two listings on bricklink, both sellers have like 200x of themWelp, guess I was wrong but where the fuck did these come from? Factory rejects put out for sale?
>>11751655>I've never even heard of the print just wearing away for no reason like that.>>11751622I once had a Black Canary where I put on her head and her face rubbed off on my thumb. it was freaky (heh)I know a little bit about pad printing, so I knew they just mixed the ink wrong or something. probably a whole batch was messed up, but usually they're fine
>>11751649I guess, as it follows, the world is
>at Target buying new Harry Potter sets›cute girl at the register that looked my age says "oh l love Harry Potter Lego while smiling"> tell her I have every lego Harry Potter set ever released since starting all the way back in 2001> She says omg that's so cool. She collects Harry Potter sets too> ask if she wants to come over and build with me, she can give me her number> She says sorry I have a boyfriend then changed her tone attitude completely>Literally fell in love with this girl then got my soul crushed by her in less than a minute
All the One Piece sets leaked and nobody has posted them yet?
>>11751681Kek. I haven’t seen this in a minute!>>11751684Madam we’re busy discussing Indiana Jones, bionicles, and slavery.
>>11751684Browns can't afford Lego, whites don't care about wan piss and gay whites just buy Soý Wars.
>>11751681I know it's a pasta but man>even considering dating HP womenThey're like a different breed of disney adults.
About to spend $200 on a set with barely 200 pieces so I can get the cardboard and paper that came with it, please help me reaffirm my life choices and tell me the most ridiculous purchases you have ever done.
>>11751698Yeah they don't even care that they're funding trans genocide. Terrible allies.
>>11751704No, you're being stupid
>>11751684>All the One Piece sets leaked and nobody has posted them yet?nobody wants to watch that one guy meltdown, like he can't understand how nobody can bother to check some other siteI was curious enough about the minifig spread so I actually DID go look at some other site this time!--of course Miss All Sunday is in the giant set--but it looks like Luffy-WEARING-hat is in a not-$100+ set this timeI was surprised to see the little painting girl, the vulture/sea otter team, and the mysterious Dragon guy who was in a scene for 2 seconds but I guess is an important guy or something (?)to be clear, I wouldn't mind seeing the "leak" pics here, but y'know... that guy will cry about it, so...
>>11751313I remember getting this set for Christmas when I was a kid. And I wasn't even particularly into soccer/football, I just really wanted it for some reason.
>>11751715It's because it was fun
$140 USD. Includes alt heads + masks for new Legends s2 characters for the nya and kai figs
>>11751720Minifigs look great
>>11751705Imagine shilling for a billionare whose not even a good writer.
$30
$70
$60Can't believe they included Dragon, we will never get Alvida!
>>11751712>but it looks like Luffy-WEARING-hat is in a not-$100+ set this timePeople need to stop seeing this shit as generous. A main character in their most iconic design used to be something you got for less then $20.>>11751721This yellow or pearl gold? So many ninjago designs are ruined by pearl gold, why lego insists on this ugly ass color.
$170Hey. They includes Garp, Helmepo and Coby. So this means Zeff, chef Sanji and Mihawk are exclusive to Baratie now.MOVE MIHAWK IN A CHEAP SET (OR DO A NEW VERSION WITH AN ACCURATE HAT)
>buying ugly ass netshits designsEmbrace bootlegs
$100, if we include random characters then why not include Dalton?
$70Crazy we get the unluckies and the cake
This wave we get random dossiers not wanted posters!Season 3 is Alabasta season and will release fall 2027, I wonder if Lego will make a split between s1 and 2 sets before doing season 3. There are a few characters and sets they could do. I got 3 OP sets this week and will get Merry soon. Can't wait for this wave tho.
>>11751721Why is "lite" covering the torsos?
>>11751413because it's an Indiana Jones movie you absolute retardwhen script writers were writing the movie, which do you believe is more plausible:>we are making an Indiana Jones movie, what should the plot be?>I know! we can have him save people in India!vs>we are making a movie about stopping evil Jeets, who should the main character be?>I know! it should be Indiana Jones, because he's white!it was a rhetorical question, but in case you actually are stupid, the first one is obviously more plausible
>>11751681When I first met my ex gf back during the pandemic we talked about Lego and building to pass time. She said she collected Lego Harry Potter and I went over to her apartment and she only had a couple sets. I literally had more HP sets than her and I don’t even care about that theme. Guarantee that cashier girl only has a couple sets
>>117510871 rumour is confirmed, Godzilla will be the black friday set
>>11751746I mean, she did in fact collect them.
>>11751743Lite is the name of the leaker who leaked them so everyone knows he is the sourceWe are getting an upscaled Pokemon Trainer this year! Wonder if they include a pokemon minifig or trainer minifig..
>we get dragon and smokerInsane man
Females all buy either botanicals or Harry Potter
This set is incredible, we get some amazing ships lately
>>11751754The only one I won't buy is the buildable Chopper, the rest are must haves! What a fantastic wave of sets!My only gripe is that we don't get Mr.5 or Miss Valentine in any of them. Also, no Bogard in the battleship is an odd choice...
When are we getting pictures of the creator legendary pirate ship? Leakers say its pretty close to the last model so I'm curious if that's true, it better look legendary
>>11751751Why is he strategically placing his name on the parts that people want to see the most? That's just making his leaks annoying
>>11751760So you can't edit his watermark is my guess
>>11751757It has less pieces than the last one, so I am not sure how much better it can be. I also don't really like brick-built sails, but I imagine they have to be since it is a creator 3-in-1, but it certainly makes me less excited, but I guess we'll see. I do want to see what it looks like, though.
>>11751728If lego were smart they would make all town style building mini modular to combine with the Marvel ones
I only now realized the gum gum fruit set is made for the botanicals crowd
>>11751762Still dumb, at least make it semi-transparent or somethinglego leakers are so obnoxious
Is ir just me or this wave looks more "anime" than the last one? Like they are based on live action but they kinda go more in the anime direction.Look at Chopper here >>11751727 he looks more like his anime counterpart not live action, even the eyes are cartoony and look at minifigs too and the selection. Now it could be because live action is very accurate to anime (even though the manga is the base).
>>11751731>A main character in their most iconic design used to be something you got for less then $20.yeah that was a little sarcasticLuffy needs to get a polybag or at least one of those lame $15 mech-things lol
>>11751681Finally got back the Patronus set from my old job that my ex and I got when we worked there together. Planned to build the wolf but another coworker who started the trend of buying Legos and didn't want the set to begin with started building the deer. Shame things ended before we could both do the wolf together.
>>11751748This is guaranteed to be the fat lame gay ugly American Godzilla, right?
>>11751781The april fools leak said its a combination of multiple versions, its unknown yet if its monsterverse or classic toho. But from the sounds of it, it might be classic toho.
>>11751649>And who is responsible for that?The British.
>>11751681
>>11751781Bearzilla mogs shincelzilla
>>11751684Fuck off Froggy.
>>11751798Post lego Eric
>>11751799Stop shilling garbage and ruining good discussion for shillshit rodent.
>>11751801Eric, you are the one that ruins the thread, i pray one day you will have your moment of self reflection and realize you are not the hero of this story, you are just another villain shitting the place up
>>11751802simply put, mindbroken and a shill you are.
After several years in fast food exile, I finally got myself a new call center gig. Which means a desk and being able to keep toys at it. Anyone know of some good mini figures from the last couple of years I can track down to have at my desk?
>>11751813Depends on what you want. The soon to be retired X Mansion set has a huge number of X-Men figures, there is a movie set of FF figures, a bunch of MCU Avengers team sets, and a Batmobile set with TDK Batman, Joker, and Two Face. There are also Animal Crossing and Live Action One Piece sets, a bunch of new Harry Potter sets, and a couple of Blind bag Spider verse and D&D figures. And there is also a super expensive STTNG set with the entire bridge crew.The regular blind bag stuff however have de evolved into furry crap and and most of the police stuff is mid. Assuming you customize, id look for bricklink to find parts and just build junk that way
>>11751813Are you sure you are allowed desk toys, a lot of call centres stop that shit as they think it impacts your performance
>>11751655It was me, I snuck into his house every night and rubbed his minifigures.
>>11751736OR FUCKING CHESS
>>11751813Assert dominance and keep these on your desk>>11751532
>>11751837They look shit thoughbeit
>>11751041I don't know how trustworthy people in Serbia are with sending parcels but if you don't trust them just pay a bit extra shipping to order from a more trustworthy European country (Germany is usually the best and has the lowest prices and most parts), If you still don't want to deal with it you can just buy the knuckles mech set she is from it's still for sale in a few places like amazon even if it's retired on Lego's site. This Rouge figure kind of sucks but you are right they might not make another or the next one might be even worse. I have it in real life and it has such low detail which clashes really badly with the super detailed head mould. Lego won't do that single line of cleavage to characters that need it like Rouge or slave leia and it looks really weird like they got their breasts removed or flattened as part of some horrific surgery. And people get mad if you rightfully complain about it for some reason and accuse you of wanting to fuck lego minifigures which is just insane
Apparently duckbricks left LAN because he wanted to talk abour lego leaks and if you are part of LAN you aren't allowed to tslk about that, only official reveals. I get it. Also he affords lego because he id rich so no need for free sets.
>>11751816Call centers care more about banning anything paper related over anything else.Also, I have the Asperger's and having done toys at my desk helps me stay focused when nothing is going on and my mind starts to wander.
>>11751223Holy shit, what happened to her?
i just want a proper bionicle action figureeven if it is just one time a year
>>11751752Smoker being unable to smoke because Lego is funny.Can't wait to have Dragon so he can just stand, say a single line and do fuck all for 30 years.
>>11751755>The only one I won't buy is the buildable Chopper, the rest are must haves! What a fantastic wave of sets!It really is. Other than the big Chopper I'm going to pass on the Garp ship too because I don't care about it (set looks great though) but everything else is really tempting.
>>11751752Why is Dragon wearing a purple suit? Is that accurate? Smoker has no cigars lol
>>11751705That’s why we support her. numbersign ourgirl. numbersign jkr4life.
>>11751796Millennium Godzilla is still the best
I love lego one piece theme because its batshit crazy and more in line with what lego used to do in 2007-2012 era
>>11751855Mudblood Heil Rowling
>>11751552Because it should've been a real lego tahu minifig and not a shitty cosplayer imitation instead>>11751580I dont either, in theory it should be very simple to just make a text book bionicle lego but they had to fuck it all up with their costume autism obsession stupidity >>11751624>Eh, the minifigure is labelled as Bionicle cosplayer, so I expected something like this.And it was fucking dumb for lego to make it a cosplayer in the first place and not an actual bioncile character itself for the CMF wave instead. Why woukd that have been so hard for them? Why cant lego drop the costume shit for once and actually give us a genuine fucking tahu figure instead of some cheap fucking imposter wannabe bonkle as a minifg instead. Fuck lego.
>>11751855I dont get why retards on here support terfs when all terfs are are just even bigger man haters then even other feminazis to the point that the other feminists kicked them out of their circles
>>11751877>red skull mains when they see a black panther main on rivals
>>11751884It’s as simple as the enemy of my enemy my “guy”. This chick gets it >>11751877
>>11751887This enemy of my enemy shit is gonna blow up in your fucking face someday dude. Why you would ever side with a fucking feminazi cunt that hates men on a level that even other feminists find extreme and off putting is incomprehensible to me.
>>11751892You should read the 48 laws of power and go touch grass or bricks and MAYBE a girl will let you touch her vagene.
>>11751894You dont get any action yourself you fucking basement dwelling freak. Fuck off
>>11751896You’re mad at your mom not at me. The stereotype is true that after the kids come the sexlife drops off a bit. Rest assured I’m still tapping that on the regular now that the baby weight is gone. Making my coffee and getting the chores done before I wake them all up and we eat a nice breakfast and head to the Lego store and my great uncles for Easter. I’ll get a Harry Potter Lego just for you.
>>11751899>all that tryhard fanfic cooeSay hi to your mom as you leave your neet cave to go get some hotpockets after all that copium writing
Always wanted this set since I was a child
>>11751922
>>11751926When pieces weren’t in numbered bags
>>11751915Dishes done and all the animals fed and watered. Coffee brewing and they’re all snuggled in bed watching PBS kids. Gonna eat breakfast and hit the road. Then, me the wife and the kids are going to color eggs and make carrot cake while we put together whatever we get at the Lego store. What you call a cope, I call a nice little Saturday. What a miserable bastard you must be.
Apparently Mihawk will be in season 3 of one piece. Could we get him in a cheaper set please? Or maybe a one piece cmf?
>>11751931Was this image in every thread? Anyway crazy we are so close to this being real now. Lego x Japan was a fucking blessing.

>>11751931Dragon Ball Z is such a shitty fucking anime.
>>11751947Which shonen series do you like better that pretty much uses the same formula?
>>11751948Dragon Ball>But it's the same thing!No it isn't. Dragonball is superior to that Z schlock
>>11751950Nah Dragonball z is the greatest anime of all time, and you are just Vegeta on the rocks
>>11751952Yeah nothing cooler than a show where the answer to beating the bad guy is just >make number bigger There is literally no creative fight in Z.
>>11751950Ok, I agree with you there. Fights were important but not the core structure. The start anyway.
>>11751957Incorrect. See: Raditz, Buu, Ginyu
>>11751931This will flop so hard
>>11751957Namak saga Goku vs. Frieza. Also Cell games fight and Vegito vs. Buu.
Post a single Lego you actually own. I’ll wait.
>>11751948anime formula:1 - good guy person or team with [powers]2 - bag guy has [powers!] oh no! impossible to defeat [powers!]3 - good guy person or team [figures it out!] defeat bad guy... barely!4 - repeat with power-creepDBZ = punching & determinationNaruto = Ninja magicInuyasha = demonsOne Piece = piratesSailor Moon = magical girl stuffPower Rangers = zordsJoJo's Bizarre Adventure = "stands"My Hero Academia = super heroes(...

>>11751085>>11751087Vader leak is real... Halo chads... I have hope
I’d rather read about trans rights than your shonen slop.Post or talk lego retards.
>>11751976Wanna talk about how Bionicle basically followed the shonen formula?
>>11751977Do it, now you made me curious
>>11751976give it a rest Eric
>>11751980Who is Eric? I’m not your boyfriend Paul.

>>11751962>>11751964>creative fights>all of them involve just punching harderFuck off.
>>11751979Where do I start? Team based heroes, power ups and transformations, structured power system, destiny and the chosen one, arc based structure. Takua is Goku, Kopaka is Vegeta, Vakama is Roshi, Pohatu is Krillen, Makuta is Frieza, Rahkshi is the Ginyu force, Gali is Android 18.
>>11751993That's wrong retard, Raditz is defeated by Goku sacrificing himself by holding Raditz still so Piccolo can fire off special beam cannon. Ginyu cheats and uses his bodyswap technique, and Buu involves fusions and Mr Satan shenanigans.
>>11751993Goku vs. Frieza is about adaptation, not just escalation. Goku vs. Cell feels more like a chess match and ends with a surrender. Vegito vs. Buu is more comedy and psychological humiliation.
I'm a complete newfag when it comes to LEGO, is it possible for me to build something big, cool and anime related for less than 80€ by sourcing Chinese bricks and a off brand guide?
Bionicle has the same loop as DBZ. New enemy appear > heroes struggle > power up and teamwork > temporary victory.
>wait until you Weebs learn about the hero’s journey
>>11751765Oh! I like that motorcycle design.
>>11752006Hero's Journey is usually one complete transformation. Shonen repeats the cycle over and over again.
THE NINJA HAVE KIDS NOW! NEXT LEGENDS SEASON GOES TO THE FUTURE! It also explains why Lloyd looks older in the cmf 29.

>>11752061Can I entice you with yet another Batmobile?
>>11752059Could be adopted..
>>11751728>>11751733>>11751736>>11751737Where is Dalton!?! I seriously thought he'd be in the Drum Kingdom set. Also, this line up shows how badly we needed a Whisky Peak set. Igaram and the other Baroque Works agents could have been included.Those complaints aside these are some great sets. I think Tashigi instead of Dragon would have made more sense for the Loguetown set. And the giants are horrendous. But I'm definitely getting all the sets eventually.
Why nobody talks about the fact we get our first ever black pig?
>>11751733>smoker without cigarsYeah, i'm getting this one. Going Merry was kino so i expect this one to be as well.
>>11752087>4+ Disney setThis is going to have an insanely jacked up price, wont it?
>>11752099It's $45 for 209 pieces
>>11752063That's where I got the idea, what's the best way to find those builds and buy cheap bricks?
>>11751922>>11751926>>11751929Damn, you got it sealed?
This year’s Disney Advent Calendar is Toy Story themed and includes Christmas themed Woody and Jessie, as well as normal Buzz, Alien, and Rex molds. A brick built Potato Head is also included, along with the tablet thing (lily pad?) as a print, some other tech toys as prints, and a few other small brick builds.
>>11752099>>11752100That has to do with the larger molds right? Or at least that's the "official" explanation right?
>>11752019Anon you can literally just make your own. Trainers aren't that special in appearance
>>11752017Pretty sure that shit is Chinese not Japanese and just 16th century furry bullshit. You fuckin monkey kid fags just can’t stop seething can you?
>>11751796I’m afraid bearzilla is the fattest, gayest and least soulful of all Godzilla designs, and Americans just can’t comprehend what makes for a good Godzilla, much less Godzilla movie.>>11751871Millennium is also cringe. I never watched the 80s and 90s movies growing up (I only had tapes of the 60s and 70s movies), so I have no real ingrained fondness for them, but the best Godzilla designs, bar none, come from the run of films from Biollante to Destroyah.
>>11751922>>11751926>>11751929i came
>>11752087Wasn't this the "April Fools!" pic?why would Toy Story have lame generic little ponies along with the other minifigs?return of the Toy Story horse!onyx pig!hah hah! April Fooools!?
>>11752191Nope, the set leaked with slinky dog on amazon
>>11752087>first ever black pig?Yeah, they call 'em piggers.
Does anyone else swap minifigheads in their city with the classic smile one? I'm not at all into LEGOLAND Town, but I think it gives the minifigs a lot more soul and personality.
Why is lego bluey so popular? New polybag
Are these supposed to be play sets? They look a bit akward besides the regular City F1 sets.
>2026>I am forgotten
>>11752150Do you have the 'asian street hooker' minifig?
>>11752239If I were John Lego, ceo of Lego, I would get the entire team who worked on Monkey Kid and the same animation studio and give them the task to reboot Bionicle as a minifigure action theme. That would be generational.
>>11752241Sounds exciting, but as you might guess boniclefags would hate it no doubt.
>>11751931Pedo.
>>11752239Why does every original IP lego do have to be some gay eastern theme designed to appeal to chinks? Why can't we have the same dedication put towards another Medieval theme or pirates? No we have to have ninjas and journey to the west slop.
Recently got back into Lego Star Wars after not caring for them since 2012 I feel bad seeing how many cool sets I missed out on and Im not a fan of the new designs for the minifigs
>>11752266Its because Lego has never really sold a whole lot in China, so they realized it is a huge, somewhat untapped market. So they decided to start releasing tons of Chinese-themed sets and Chinese-inspired themes.
>>11752241>give them the task to reboot Bionicle as a minifigure action theme.I'm not that super-fan who would know, but were there any connections (heh) at all between Bionicle and like, regular Lego?if the concept was that a minifig character went to an island and found a Bionicle mask, and put it on... and his teenagers-with-attitude friend group got the other color masks? would that make sense?the people who KNOW THE LORE would care about that, a lot.and they did kinda already try minifig-ish characters. just sayin'....
>>11752266because west has star wars and license slop, china can at least appreciate their cultural heritasge whereas modern western culture see their past as problematic and offensive
>>11752279Yeah? And look how well that worked out for hollywood.>>11752288>china can at least appreciate their cultural heritasgeLol Lmao even
>>11752306
>>11752286Man I wish Lego had given these leg articulation.
>>11751723chopper available in a budget-priced set? absolute blessing, swore hed be exclusive to a $100+ set to jew anyone who just wants to add him to the Going Merry
>>11752279Lego isn't selling in China because competing brick manufacturers are out doing them on price.
>>11752368>competing brick manufacturers are out doing them on price.I thought Lego was positioning themselves as extra-expensive, and that's the only reason you'd want to buy those sets, as a status affirmation. you know you're upper-class if you can afford the LEGO sets!the same reason people buy Mercedes instead of lower-cost cars (real ones, not Lego. it's funny that all the Lego sports cars are similarly-priced hehe)that's why there are almost NO "small" sets for Money Kid. they don't need those few pity sets to get the poor kids interested.
>>11752374You've also got to keep in mind that China largely doesn't give a shit about IP trademark theft, meaning the Chinese will just buy the knockoff Lego minifigures.
>>11752368>>11752374>>11752378>You've also got to keep in mind that China largely doesn't give a shit about IP trademark theft, meaning the Chinese will just buy the knockoff Lego minifigures.That's mostly why they've marketed heavily inspired full Chinese themes, like festivals, Chinese New year's sets and celebrations, Monkey Kid, etc.They're not even really promoted and barely even sold in the West, but just go to like Amazon and type in "Lego Chinese sets" Or "Lego Chinese New Year" and there are dozens of official sets aimed pretty much only at China.
>>11752230First, welcome back from Mars, some things have changed around here. Among them the animated series of Bluey is very popular among kids and adults. I don't know when you took up residence on the red planet but in some ways it is almost comparable to MLP:FIM but with a less toxic fanbase.
>>11752230Also does anyone know when that is releasing?
>>11752400That's cool and all but that means jack shit when China doesn't give a fuck about lego. Hell Chinese people are too prideful of their shit nation to ever want to purchase some knock off western shit. Multiple other economic sectors have tried to corner the Chinese Market and have failed and in no small part due to the CCP actively hampering western developed products.
>>11752418>mars mission aliens>exo force robots>bionicle minifigs>hero factory minifigswhy did lego do so many buildable-with-clips minifig-scale characters in the mid 00s, and why did they stop?
>>11752424I never necessarily said they were successful at it, but it is a pretty large market to attempt to tap into. Someone else brought up Hollywood's attempt to pander to China in big movies, and in spite of everything, they did make lots of money from the Chinese market. Its why tons of movies, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s always had some big Chinese star in it, or some section of the movie take place in Hong Kong or Beijing or something in an attempt to cater to that market.But western markets try to have their cake and eat it too, since they also try to crowbar in woke or DEI pandering too, but usually in sections that are easy to remove from the movie so the Chinese can remove them for their showings. Its why even Chinese versions of movie posters generally remove black people or other minorities, or relegate them to a tiny corner or background of the poster.These companies try to make a fucktillion dollars by stretching themselves to every market possible, even when that comes at the cost of the product itself. So yeah, making a bunch of festival lanterns, or Chinese parade dragons, or sets based off of Journey West is their attempt to enter the Chinese market, but whether or not it is working is another thing. And keep in mind, they've really only been trying this recently. They were scarcely even trying to sell official Lego sets there, if at all.
>>11752425>and why did they stop?Probably because what colors you can use for them is pretty limiting. I can't find it online but there are early pics of Mars Mission aliens showing them with articulated arms and legs, unfortunately late into production they realized that the trans green plastic was too brittle to allow this and had to make the shitty mold we ended up getting last minute. I feel like with exoforce the did them with reuse in mind, the arms and hand clips are used to this day. I found out awhile back that when Lego released the big bad guy mech for exoforce a lot of people were pissed because it included the gold leader robot in your pic as the pilot BUT didn't include the gold legs and just made you clip him into the cockpit so several people asked to be mailed the legs until later versions added them into the set.
>>11751038Excuse me. What? Context please.
>>11752113Yep. Got a pretty good deal on it imo. Paid $800 from a local guy on marketplace. I was ready to pay $1000 but talked him down in person. A local LEGO resell shop offered him $400 for it. He didn’t want to deal with listing/shipping using eBay even though he knew he could prob get more for it. Still the most I ever spent on a LEGO set but it was always my dream set so I splurged
>>11752436Legos
>>11752456Gross.
>>11752455Nice find, makes me feel less bad about thinking $200 for a set with the original box was absurd. I feel like my autism would make me want the original 96 box though, the Legends line boxes aren't quite as neat but finding a set like that boxed at all is brutal in general.
>>11752230>>11752421For real though, when is this coming out?
>>11752433>I found out awhile back that when Lego released the big bad guy mech for exoforce a lot of people were pissed because it included the gold leader robot in your pic as the pilot BUT didn't include the gold legs and just made you clip him into the cockpit so several people asked to be mailed the legs until later versions added them into the set.I had that mech and didn't get the legswtf, I could have asked for them to send the legs in the mail?
>>11752425>>11752433I recently got both of my Meca One figs out from storageall 4 of the gold arms had fractured at the clipThe silver and bronze robots don't have this problemAccording to bricklink there is a "thick support" version of the arms, I guess this was a known problem which they later mitigatedIs the pearl gold of the thick support part a color match for the pearl gold used in the exo-force days?
>>11752485Why's it so fucking stubby?
>>11752286>I'm not that super-fan who would know, but were there any connections (heh) at all between Bionicle and like, regular Lego?The bionicle world is just another part of the lego multiverse
MyBrickOpinions made a new video in which he shows us brand new concept art from the early days of Lego Chima. The original name was Animal Kingdom. He also said Chima was not cancelled because of low sales. Chima was selling very well in 2015, but because of Ninjago’s huge success, Lego did not want to split the Ninjago theme into two places and give budget to Chima when they could focus everything on Ninjago.It is crazy that when they decided to keep going with Ninjago, the team split in two, because the entire Ninjago team had moved to Chima until then. Also, Chima only had one show writer.Video:https://youtube.com/watch?v=slDMXsAxe9cThere were plans for 2016 and beyond. 2016 would have introduced another evil Mount Cavora with vampires corrupting animals. The 2015 Fire Wings wave would also have included Minotaurs.Insane stuff. I do hope they bring Chima back someday.
>>11752488Yeah lol. I think something kind of similar happened with a Pirates of the Carribean set, box depicted chrome gold bars but the actual set used pearl gold and some people actually received them in chrome gold by complaining to Lego about it making them pricey now.
>>11752502If anyone wants to see Animal Kingdom/Chima early days concept art here it is from Brian Ellis site:https://www.acmego.studio/work/lego-chimaI freaking love to see what could have been. Crazy stuff and very dark. Crazy how many ideas were planned since the conception of it.
>>11752502>>11752508I don't know, the team had genuine passion for the theme and I can admire it but I just can't get into these new major story based themes. Maybe it's because I find them a bit gaudy looking but I also think these themes just don't work well when displayed with other themes, something about just having a yearly castle or space factions feels more universally appealing. I wouldn't bitch about it though if Lego at least had the decency to not continue castle/pirates/space through CMFs and triple digit price sets.
>>11752508He also worked on ninjago and bionicle:https://www.acmego.studio/work/lego-ninjagoCrazy how much masters of the universe influenced both chima and ninjago conception in many ways.
>>11752512Holy shit this guy came up with microfighters, cube dudes (aka future brickheadz), helmet collection and even more insane ideas and this was 2008. Even 3 minifig packs and microfigures for star wars (we didn't get those yet).https://www.acmego.studio/work/lego-star-warsWorth checking out all his art, for Bionicle too, crazy stuff and proof Lego had soul and maybe still has some. Thanks to great minds like this guy.
>>11752515>got to design an alt build for the 06 Star Destroyer>designed it in tribute to a ship in Shadows of the EmpireHoly soul...>Even 3 minifig packs and microfigures for star warsWeird that they never tried this again, these display based packs existed for like two or three years and then just vanished. I guess they were extremely rare or something because the minifigs exclusive to them like the RR chief or all the ninja packs go for a fuck ton now.
>>11752266Because as the west grows yet more pants on head retarded, the stage is set for China to swoop in and eat our lunch, and the Danes, ever diplomatic, may as well curry favour with our soon-to-be sino-verlords
>>11752519We've discussed these before, and we know why they stopped them: Being that they were just figures and no real "build" it bumped into legal issues because without a build they were considered stand-alone "action figures" and had to stop because toy makers like Hasbro were making Star Wars figures at the time. Yes, it is pretty stupid.Years later (actually, only about 3-4 years ago) they did kinda, sorta do similar things with the 3-minifigures and a small build lite battle-packs (pic related), but they only lasted a couple years, and I don't think they made more than a handful of them.
>>11752515This guy made the blueprint for 2020s lego star wars era, in 2012!
>>11752530
>>11752531
>>11752533
>>11752534
>>11752524Then how do CMFs, especally licensedx ones, get away with it?
>>11752538that anon is just spouting the dumb hearsay again
>>11752524Doesn't explain why they stopped doing it for original themes. Though it didn't help they weren't for sale in usual stores and you had to buy them from the Lego website in 2000/2001.
>>11752538Because the licenses for those franchises are different, obviously. Why do you think there's never been a Star Wars CMF?>>11752539The licensing agreements are all well known. It isn't a secret, you're just about 30 years behind on knowledge, but you can find it if you take your head out of the sand.
Lego paid $23 million for the Fifa ad, but each player was filmed separetly and they used stunt doubles for them to be in the same room.They paid $23 million.... ffsWhat is Lego doing?
>>11752538it was just "Star Wars" from "Hasbro" that got an exclusive-figures deal. that doesn't apply to anything else.it's incredibly un-clear if the contract was worded properly once Lucas sold SW to Disney. people acted like it was still a thing, but there's a chance it's just Hasbro being a bully.some companies sneak around the rule. if you notice Star Wars Funko POP! Figures have spring necks, thus they are "bobble heads" and not "action figures" lol suck it, rulesit really is a shame, Lego could have been on Star Wars CMF series 15 by now, that would have been 180 more main character variant costumes and Gulp Shittos. the SW CMFs would have been their own thing along with the other seriesLego would make so much money on that, they should just do it and give Hasbro free money for breaking the rule or whatever
>>11752542I read they spent a total of $8 million on making the ad plus the money for each player.
>>11752542>>11752544Can't wait to see the FIFA sets on heavy discount after the World Cup is over lmfao, broke third worlders can't afford Lego.
Is One Piece good? The sets look fun, but I lack context for the characters and locations.I would watch the show, but there's literally over 1000 episodes, and there is motherfuckers out there that will genuinely say "It gets good after episode 365."
>>11752542The pokemon sets sold more than that in 24 hours, the fifa things easily could too
>>11752556The fifa sets are up for preorder, pokemon was up for preorder and sold $60 million worth of sets. Fifa didn't do shit or else they would be out of stock right now.
>>11752555Watch the live action from netflix, its great, very comfy show and optimistic and fun.
Happy Plants are the greatest thing lego ever made and you cannot change my mind.
>>11752555Anime in general is not good.
I think we need to take into account that the only chance for Bionicle to come back is in three forms. And none of them has Technic.Option 1:>Bionicle is brought back as a minifigure theme and this Tahu was just a taste of how they would look. It would have vehicles, creatures, monsters, and temples and stuff. Could be great.Option 2:>Bionicle is brought back as minifigures like Tahu in CMF 29, but as a part of Ninjago Dragons Rising, and maybe that leads to a spinoff.Option 3:>Brick built Bionicle figures like the GWP and other buildable figures LEGO makes out of bricks.None would have Technic. Would you be ok with it? One problem LEGO has with bringing Bionicle back is because of the new mask molds and body molds.
>>11752543it doesnt apply, star wars build a figures and blind bags work for other companies so CMFs would easily work the same
>>11752583>Would you be ok with it?Bonklefags wouldnt ever be happy with anything other than the original bonkle that they have formed into an integral part of their childhood
>>11752583>>11752586I'd be ok with a Icons set for 25th anniversary of all 6 Toa Mata brick built with printed masks. I also love option 1.
>>11752583Option 3a: expensive brick-built Bionicle display piece in the 18+ lineBionicle is uncslop and will never be given a full theme for children again
Phineas and Ferb sets when?
>>11752592best you'll get is a cmf in a future disney series
>>11752590This, where is Hero Factory G2 instead? Now that's for zoomers.No but seriously, give Hero Factory some love man...
There's a possibility we get Bionicle characters in Lego Fortnite...
Wtf guys, Lego ruined the Ninjago lore! Lloyd is not the only green ninja, there have been many more green ninjas before him!
>>11752600When was that established?
>>11752602Season 4 of dragons rising, there were more green ninja before him and they are the ninja of life. Life is his elemental power. Lloyd is literally Mata Nui. Lloyd is a God.
>>11752606>Lloyd is a God
Can we admit series 28 is kino?
>>11752607he's a descendant of the creator of the ninjago universe so that's not much of a revelation
Really wanna pick this up while its on sale
>>11752615Do it, some offers never vome back, telling you that from experience.
>>11752616The set's only been out for a couple of months, surely it'll be 25% or more again later in the year?
>>11752617Depends, for example Disney Up house had a lot of offers but I'm saying, don't say "oh it will get down again I get it then" because you might never do it. I did it with Up hojse, had some good offers then went back to usual price and waited again until the set got retired...never got it.
>>11752617yeah but by that point there will be more sets releasing i want to pick up as well in the summer wave, plus i still want to pick up the old town (which will never go on sale) and the new zelda set (also never going on sale)
>>11752097I was already gonna get this set since garp was probably gonna be in it, but robin being included as well is a nice surprise.>>11752073I guess dalton didn't really do much at the castle, if they'd done a set based on the fight with the mutants in town we probably would have got Dalton.
>>11751765Oh shit, I didn't realise this came with smoker's motorcycle.
Happy Easter, guys! What LEGO sets did you get? Here’s mine.
>>11752609no, it's stupid. make them actual animal humanoids not costume shitand no putting a black/red/printedmouth head on it doesn't do a good job at hiding the fact a face is clearly supposed to go in the idiotic gaping mouth
>>11752629Didn't get anything for myself. Instead got my son a couple smaller lego city sets and put the pieces in eggs. Hid them around the house last night and he'll be able to build them once he found them all.
>>11752609I don't like when a series is themed entirely on one thing. If you don't like the theme then you're just waiting for the next series.
>>11752637dnd and halloween cmfs were some of the best of all time

will lego release a print of lloyd's jerking off face?
>>11752638What happens if you don't like DND or Halloween?
>>11752648Talk to your doctor and he can prescribe two testicles. You can get that filled you know… any time.
>>11752648What happens if you dont like any of these idiotic random things?
>>11752650I like the unicorn :3
>>11752650>waah waah i hate fun waaaaahlmao
>>11752648>>11752650>What happens if you don't like any of these idiotic random things?at the very least, there might be a new hair piece, or accessory, or new animal piece, or torso/face print, or... something... that you think is worth having. there were a few Harry Potter sets and Marvel TV show sets, that had those things, even though you might not like HP or whateverthe worst one was the Spider-Mans with very specific prints and heads, almost all of it was useless. I think there was 1 new hair piece (2?) and 1 cowboy torso. where else can you use a cat with a spider mask print?
>>11752650I'm going to make a wild leap in logic here so try to keep up...You don't buy it.
>>11752583Why couldn't it be Technic? You can still make humanoid figures exclusively out of technic parts currently being produced with the only true Bionicle bits being masks and weapons. Compared to the system route you'll still need mask molds, but you wont need to worry about prints, and the vast majority of Bionicle fans would actually be interested in it

>>11752696Held der Steine, BrickTsar, Jaystepher and sometimes Bricksie to laugh at his incompetence.

>>11752696AshnflashBricks by mindMy brick opinions
>>11752648Only two, maybe three of the DnD characters were really specific to DnD. All the rest were viable as general medieval or fantasy characters/parts.

>>11752745>always the most highly sought after by far. But what do they choose to make a whole line of?that's exactly what they did lolbut um... according to what?somebody at Lego thought those face-hole costumes were le-popular-thingdoes Lego really have data on which figures are the popular ones? they just sell the boxes to stores and don't care which ones sell or not, the whole point is that they are random.
>>11752755I think they now have data because of the qr code thing
Are Pirates closer to a Castle or Western theme?
>>11752757They have a lot of data from owning bricklink but I dont know how useful it is
>>11752600>>11752606Him not being the only one kinda makes sense tho it's just something you'd think after it was revealed there were other elemental masters before the og four.Those other green ninja should just be the old elemental masters of energy/life/greeeeeen right?

Any info on the next original theme or its OVER? I guess nothing this summer?
>>11752636Only based post in the threadGreat MOCs everyone! /LG/ isn't even worth checking once a week. Sad!
Apparently the fire monster looks different in the show than in this leak, was this book fake or they changed the design?
>>11752583>Option 1: Bionicle is brought back as a minifigure theme. It would have vehicles, vehicles, creatures, vehicles, monsters, vehicles, vehicles, and vehicles.Fixed that for you.
>>11752795>Any info on the next original theme or its OVER?the fact that nothing has "leaked" moves the needle in the direction towards "Lego is 100% behind the leaks" rather than "genuinely-leaked because it's ridiculous to assume Lego blurs pics on purpose"if there is to be a new original theme, Lego might be guarding the art/subjects from copy-cats, so somebody else can't beat 'em to the table. giving more power to the idea that if Lego WANTS to keep a secret, they sure can do it.or they may be taking a break, was there a gap between thing? Chima? Ultra Agents? Vidiyo? I'm not going to do research, but maybe we should expect am break as they figure out something new
>>11752696MandRproductions
>>11752833Last year Duckbricks said he heard from lego company insiders that TLG is working on multiple new original themes but it will take a while until we see it. I guess we should start hearing more around summer/september about a new original theme starting in January and Ninjago gets March wave. I guess this year TLG wanted to push Smart Bricks so they moved the next original theme to early 2027.
Any lego star wars fans who migrated to other franchises? I lost interest in the IP thanks to how KK handled it. I now collect lego marvel, ninjago and one piece. I also saw a lot of lego sw fans moving to ninjago which explains some price spikes.
>>11752844all that sounds very logical. especially considering Lego's reaction speed [awful] and muh-focus-groups-research [we tested kids, and they wanted...dreams! or whatever]they also probably wanted to cringe and see if the Smart Bricks were going to be a hit, and maybe incorporate those into the NEW THEME or not. if they committed to Smart Brick tech, and it would have been DOA, they might have blown a good idea like they did with Vidiyo (gotta admit the characters were cool)
>>11752852Get on my level, after getting back into the hobby I didn't buy any modern sets.
Ok lads, should I get pic related for $75 or wait for the price to go down?
>>11752862Funny thing, lego actually worked on a non gimmick vidiyo relaunch but abandoned the idea after tester kids didn't like it. Also, ever wondered what kids get to test these? I saw somes docus and its kids from UK, China, France, Germany and US. Now I won't say its the kids fault many themes suck...but...
>>11752865This should be like $40 max, I'm usually a creator shil since it's one of the last pure lego themes but even as a horror guy this buid was way too basic for me to justify even on save.
>>11752862More info on vidiyo ending. Lego has one lesson to learn from Vidiyo and thats to actually keep making kick ass minifigs because that theme had the coolest minifigs ever made (own none of them because I was in dark age then).
>>11752884Huh, ok then, I guess I'll wait a while, good thing this set retires in december 2027 so I have time to get it, curious what the icons haunted house is like and need the monster hunter from series 29.
>>11752852>I lost interest in the IP thanks to how KK handled it.I get slammed from other Star Wars fans for saying this, but I still maintain that, from a toy-aspect, Star Wars is oddly thriving.if you remove the character designs from the stories they were in, a lot of them are still amazing. Trinity Jedi?! Power Ranger Chrome Cyborg Biker Gang? Even Jack Black & Lizzo. countless others. just take the figures and make your own stories with 'em.
Where are the rest of ninjago summer set leaks? Why dont they leak them, they leaked 2 sets!

>>11752904>So, why did dreamzzz fail?>>11752932>was the equivalent of pic-relatedtranslation:the attempt to acquire new fans by targeting new demographics, they failed to attract such fans, and in the process, lost existing fans. many such cases in modern things (Star Wars did it, Star Trek super did-it, etc...)
>>11752865Where you seeing it for $75? I’d do it I’ve been waiting for a sale.
>>11752904Simple, it's not Ninjago. Ninjago has outlasted ever original theme since its creation. Nobody is going to support an original theme if it's going to be outlasted by Ninjago.
>>11752892You should get slammed, because 90% of Disney wars stuff looks like boring garbage, and of the 10% of stuff that does look cool almost none of it actually winds up getting toys.
>>11752892For me the problem is the same shit despite owning a decades long property. If you have to stick with grey spaceships, how about a v-wing? How about the Eclipse? How about the bridge of a star destroyer, or an Outrider? No, you're getting another fucking x-wing but this one comes with a new republic sticker.

>>11752014ENOUGH NINFAGO SLOP. BRING BACK CLASSIC NINJAS AND SAMURAI
>>11752974In some ways I can kind of understand it. There are always new people coming into Lego, so there are a handful of iconic ships they want to re-release every few years so there's always an X-Wing/Millennium Falcon/Star Destroyer/Tie Fighter/etc. on the shelves for those people, and every year they update their parts catalogue, so they may just refine the builds down more and more and streamline the aesthetic.But yeah, there are plenty of ships they have only made once or twice (or possibly not at all) and really need updates. Like the Tie Bomber that came out a year or two ago, that's only the second time they've ever made it, and the last one came out 20 years prior.But there is plenty of shit they just waste time, money, and resources on. Especially in the modern era where they're releasing new versions of shit that has less pieces, cut corners, and its downscaled and somehow costs even more money than previous versions. At that point, just don't fucking make it until you get shit sorted out.
>>11752993>But there is plenty of shit they just waste time, money, and resources on. Especially in the modern era where they're releasing new versions of shit that has less pieces, cut corners, and its downscaled and somehow costs even more money than previous versions. At that point, just don't fucking make it until you get shit sorted out.They're testing the limits of SWfags, and SWfags are really giving them no serious reason to see this business model as bad. I genuinely don't know what limit would even push IPfags to the breaking point, even cases like the $45 battle pack and recent turbo tank werw just a hiccup and not a final straw.
>>11752997I think some of the recent offerings from 2024/2025 caused a lot more people to kind of get more peeved. The Turbo Tank and MTT were not very well received, especially the Turbo Tank. I think a lot of people found those sets to be egregiously overpriced. You can even compare them to the AT-TE, which was a little overpriced, but a lot of people consider it to be either the best or one of the best versions of that vehicle. And while people have their grievances with modern clone minifigs, that one still came with a good amount of clones to fill the vehicle out--actually, the best assortment of clones an AT-TE ever came with.You can see reviews everywhere that people bomb most of the SW sets that have come out the last 2-ish years. Even dear leader MandR bought literally hundreds of the 501st battle packs from 4-5 years ago, but only bought one of each of the modern battle packs because of how overpriced a $45 battle pack (or even the $25 or whatever they are now) is.
>>11752926Moccing is one of the primary reasons why Bionicle still has a fanbase a decade after its cancellation, if you take away the ability to build custom characters you'll kill it faster than G2
>>11752968>almost none of it actually winds up getting toys.that's the awful part. I cannot stress how awful they are handling it. how many of Jabba's Palace, or the Cantina on Tatooine background guys got merch back in the 80's?nearly every episode, in every thing, in every movie... has gazillions of Gulp Shittosbut Lego has to "he have to stop somewhere" and only give us 3 minifigs in a $300 set. dammit, it would be so much easier for Lego to be doing the background guys. they could SHAME Hasbro. embarrass them. they already have a C-3PO mold, just make a blue one for crying out loud! torso print (PRINT!) +some hairpiece = another background Gulp Shitto human-guy. it's insane they are so stingy.you can kind of understand why Hasbro needs huge molds and complicated stuff to make big figures for someone who got 2 seconds of screen time, but LEGO could do it. easily. argh.
>>11752993>There are always new people coming into Lego, so there are a handful of iconic ships they want to re-release every few years so there's always an X-Wing/Millennium Falcon/Star Destroyer/Tie Fighter/etc. on the shelves for those people, and every year they update their parts catalogue, so they may just refine the builds down more and more and streamline the aesthetic.So....what you're saying is....more Luke Landspeeders
>>11753011Yes. New ones. At least every 3-4 months.
>almost 30 years of tie fighters>still not one in sand blueAt least we got one grey hoth ship
With the exception of making constraction figures with the ball joint system, what do you even do with the Technic brand? I know its been relegated to just making vehicles, but I can see Lego just dropping it in the future and relegating technic elements to functions within system sets
>>11753026Working stuff like the big cranes and construction equipment could be kind of neat because of the engineering, but I'd never buy it, and I'm not sure what you'd do with it because the big, complex stuff is more what adults would be buying but I can't imagine they're sitting there playing with their cranes and diggers and whatnot.
>>11753030>but I'd never buy itA lot of people don't, the walmart near me barely even stocks Technic. If I'm right, they only made made around 26 sets last year, which is lower than the amount that City and Ninjago produced, which wouldn't be a bad thing if the system it were built with was compatible with System Lego as a whole, but its not. I hate to say it, but after Lego permanently does away with all original IPs with the exception of Ninjago, it will probably liquidate Technic shortly afterward
>>11753026>>11753030>>11753042there are stores with nothing but Warhammer figures to paint. I don't like building Gundam models, but there's lots of them. girls collect Barbie dolls. Lego has a Technic line.it's perfectly fine for things to exist that you have no interest in. I have no idea who won the NASCAR thing or even what that thing is called. but there are fans that enjoy it a lot.the cool difference is that Technic sets will actually be useful, on some level, with the Lego hobby I do enjoy, so.... that?I realize the argument is that Lego could be using Technic resources to make more Castle sets or whatever. and I would prefer that, myself. but I understand that Lego Technic could have fans I know nothing about, too.
Do people collect vintage technic even? I feel like this might be the one line where going back to older models is actually hard but never looked into technic as a fanbase much.
>>11753050closest thing I've seen to a Technic fanbase has been a handful of Germans buying construction equipment and a few Bionicle fans that only collect pre-2003 sets
>>11752892>if you remove the character designs from the stories they were in, a lot of them are still amazing.That's exactly what happened with the prequels but prequel tards are too stuck up to admit this.
>>11753042I see a fair amount of Technic, but its the cars and jeeps and stuff.>>11753044I'm not saying it is bad that it exists just because I don't want it. I can see its purpose, I just don't personally have a place for it. I'm also not really thrilled with how many exposed pins and technic holes and stuff there tend to be on the finished product.
>>11753061>That's exactly what happened with the prequels but prequel tards are too stuck up to admit this.I thought the main argument for the strength the prequels have (especially over the sequels) is all the different character and alien designs...I swear, character and vehicle designs are about the only things people defend with the prequels...
>>11753063There are tons of people that unironically defend the prequels in terms of story and execution. There are even people that will claim the prequels are better than the Original Trilogy. It is millennial and Zoomer nostalgia rose tinting to an extreme degree.
>>11753076>OT uncs still think that parroting Plinkett is the majority opinion in the big 26
>>11753093The writing is terrible, no matter how you slice it. You don't need over-the-top Youtube caricatures to recognize that.
>>11753050A lot of old technic stuff is super hard to find, finding good pneumatic stuff in the wild is for me, or stuff like solar panel, get luckyAlso fuck you spammers for continually ruining this general.
>>11752762Castle. They could have existed during the same general period. By the time of the old west, the romantic age of piracy was over.
>>11753115Castle, Ninja, and Pirates could happen all during the same time is the fucked up thing
>>11753093>RLM out of nowhereYou faggots can't over a single review that wasn't even responsible for people hating the prequels.
>>11752524>it bumped into legal issues because without a build they were considered stand-alone "action figures" and had to stop because toy makers like Hasbro were making Star Wars figures at the timeWasn't this already debunked and proven to be false but lego just ran with this narrative for years anyway?
>>11753115There were even some sailing ships in some of the castle themes anyway.>>11753119>Castle, Ninja, and Pirates could happen all during the same time is the fucked up thingHell, the Ninja/Samurai overlapped with the Western stuff. Feudal Japan still lasted into the 1800s.
>>11752852I returned to lego not too long ago so I still have plenty of old lego SW stuff that I can still collect.I'm not hating on it, but I absolutely do not care about ninjago. I am recently getting back into old capeshit movies as well so some of these minifigs like ghost rider or wolverine suddenly start to interest me.
>>11751149That clip either has a shitty AI filter over it or the clip itself is actually partially or fully AI-generated.
>>11753129I feel like some of the Ninjago armor and helmets and stuff are pretty nice for moc characters and stuff. Only thing that bugs me is how so many of them have the katana holders/sheathes on them.
>>1175309397 zoomer here, prequel trilogy has concepts that hold a lot of promise but even at their best their execution is pretty mediocre at best. I know a lot people would despide the idea but I genuinely think the prequel trilogy could be amazing if readptated by a competent writer with all of Lucas' most indulgent shit removed or heavily toned down. Sadly though Disney seems to refuse to consider hiring good writers or allow suits free creative control so that dream isn't possible.
>>11752755>does Lego really have data on which figures are the popular ones?Yes, Bricklink prices.
>>11753134I find a lot of the main colors used for them too bright which end up looking like eyesores in mocs, the series' tasteless use of pearl gold doesn't help.
>>11752810Maybe the show design doesn't translate well to a physical minifig?
Happy Easter. He is Risen. Christ is King.
>>11753162I'm mostly talking about the black and grey/silver armor and helmets. I was kind of fucking around trying to make some Final Fantasy Tactics-inspired minifigures. I liked the black armor for a dark knight, and the dragon helmet made me think of the dragoon/lancer.
>>11753176sensei wu?
>>11752745>problem is they’re fleshiesOnly four of twelve, and only one of those has a hair piece incompatible with a yellow head.
since lego technic abandoned functional set, and spamming licensed car. There wasn’t any interesting set in the current LEGO Technic sets., so i look up alternative brands. but that was fucking mistake. 3 month ago i bought 4000+ piece crane from mould king with 185 USD. as i already mentioned several times, shit malfuntioned . even i assembled it correctly there's broken pieces too. so i trashed it after i bought 8455 back hoe loaderMy point is. if you are going to buy 'fun technic set' do not even look for alternative brands. it's shit. just buy retired set even it's expensive. but it still sucks that lego killed technic theme
my favorite character is the ghost
>>11753177Can you post the visor down on the jawa head? Never buy SW shit so never had that print but that idea seems kino.
>>11753223No idea why they thought tbey should update the mold with Monster Fighters, it worked then and it worked now. The extra bit on the heads of the new mold annoys me.
>>11753224Sure. It can be tough to kind of even see the eyes through the helmet since the armor/helmet/head/visor are all black unless the light hits it just right, but it does look cool.
>>11753224>>11753242But the artwork they always have the visor up anyway.
>just discovered a used lego store opened up in town recently>they have a bricklink shop>no minimum buy, no processing fee, free local pickup
>>11753221I think I bought a bionicle scaled bicycle from them before and the axles barely stayed in the holes, so it was loose as hell, absolutely sucked
>>11752959Chima was the strongest theme that could have been in parallel eith ninjago but lego canned it because they shared the same design team, chima was still selling very good. If lego were smart to make it a priority to have a theme selling as good as ninjago at the time or vloser chima would srill be going today.
You all know technic is in top 5 sellers every year, right?
>>11753252I think that has more to do with the fact that most of the sets are $100+
When are we getting new Sonic and Animal crossing sets?
>>11753273>sonic2 sets coming in the summer>animal crossing1 set rumoured for summer, I think that's the final one if the theme isn't cancelled, but I think this is the end. If the set is cancelled then the Mr. Nook polybag is the final set lol, I think having no new AC game hurt the theme.
why the fuck don't we have plague doctor masks yet?
Why do Bald Minifigures have a stud on their head but balding Minifigures don’t have studs on their heads?It always annoyed me how completely bald Lego Minifigures have studs on their heads I mean the way I’ve always seen it Lego Minifigures without hair have studs on their heads but the balding hair has no stud on it. I know Minifigures with headpieces/hair aren’t supposed to have studs normally but bald Minifigures are supposed to have studs on their head.The crazy scientist minifigure with the large head has a stud on top of his balding head? Why can’t they put a stud on top of Balding Minifigures?
>>11753287Somr have bald headpieces but it gives them a huge forehead lolAnyways the reason is just that just printing a face on a head is easier
>>11753007G2 died because the entire world Bionicle had was gutted, Moccing is for fags too lazy to actually draw an OC and I am tired of not fucking saying it. too much time and energy is spent by the fanbase trying to make cringe MOC's and less time actually made actually drawing or preserving lore and story. PONY FAGS do this shit better then we do. ever wonder how a giant 10 year long franchise that fucking CARRIED one of the largest Toy companies on the planet is barely remembered? its because of fags like that, yeah MOC's may be what keeps the fandom on life support, but it could have actually been thriving with more then 2 fucking fan games and 2 relatively meh quality fan animation projects if people actually cared about BIONICLE and not just the constraction pieces they get from it.
>>11753277>no new AC game hurt the theme.despite being a 5-year-old game, last January Nintendo released a huge FREE update that added a new Hotel and LEGO furniture sets into the game.there's every reason, more since they put Lego blocks in the actual game, to believe Lego is not done with it
>>11753295>INB4 "bUt ItS a ToY sErIes!!1!11 yeah no shit fag, but just because something is sold as a toy does not mean I should value the plastic and an OC over the world and story, I dont see this shit with other toy series where the focus is more so plastic components then established characters, no Transformers, or fucking He-Man, or Gundams. just Bionicle, and predominantly because of MOC faggotry
Do you ever think lego will do a major theme without making it into a multimedia franchise?
>>11753299No. And if you think about it they never did that. Even bigger themes that had no tv series or movies like exo force and knights kingdom, they still had some multimedia elements to it. I'd guess the fantasy era castle was their biggest one from 2000s. I personally work on the rule of cool and those themes like exo force, castle fantasy era, atlantis and power miners looked cool, didn't care about the story.
>>11753295>>11753298G2 did lack a story, definitely, it also lacked advertising as well. I just don't believe that turning Bionicle into a minifigure focused theme would be a good idea, after all you were encouraged to make custom Bionicle characters, be it Dark Hunters or just random matoran dudes, if you take that away and replace the system with something that most fans arent interested in for the sake of focusing in on the story, you might as well just continue Bionicle solely through books
>>11753303Bionicle didn't need to continue, it needed a proper end. and then a solidified Narrative done through preferably an animated Medium matching the tone of the books. its baffling that LEGO doesn't even make Bionicle merch on the side like shirts, they could still profit off nostalgia without having to make a single constraction set but would rather bury the whole IP for years, then handwash it with a half baked reboot.
>>11753303Bionicle G3 needs to attract a new generation of fans not the old ones. If Bionicle G3 is successful then Lego could give G1 fans a bone too in some adult collector sets. But the theme would need to be profitable. This year Ninjago Legacy display set and blacksmith sets sold like crazy and its because ninjago being a popular theme that we got those sets meant for older fans to begin with. Also making G3 system related has more moc potential than the old bionicle technic system ever had. That system was very limited thats why new lego ceos hated it.
>>11753306>Bionicle didn't need to continueagreed, but I still personally want Constraction figs (preferably Technic based) of non-mecha robots without any minifigures in said theme
>>11753309If it needs to be system to have any hope of attracting new kids to it I'm content with it staying dead
>>11753284ninjago skull sorcerer
>>11753295>ever wonder how a giant 10 year long franchise that fucking CARRIED one of the largest Toy companies on the planet is barely remembered?This applies to MLP FIM too, the show ended 7 years ago
>>11753312Thats you, I would love for bionicle to be system. I only cared about the lore and story, always hated the sets designs, only liked the system ones and wanted that for years.
>>11753295>Toy is literally built on the concept of making your own creations by mixing and matching the parts at your disposal >NO DON'T BUILD YOUR OWN CHARACTERS YOU FAGGOTS PRESERVE THE LORE!!!are bioncle fans really this fucking obnoxious?
>>11753314Thank you, and damn I wish that mask was in Stud.io>>11753317this is quite literally the first guy I've seen who was anti-moccing and I've been in the Bionicle fanbase from the beginning, dude is an anomaly
>>11753319>>11753317Wouldn’t be surprised if it were the french employee seething about bionicle desu
>>11753317>why does anyone barely remember our 10 year long series?>why do we barely get anything involving itare you genuinely this retarded? I am tired of listening to people cry about it not coming back and not understanding why it has little to no actual cultural footprint, which in turn means that it is hyper-niche to a point of detriment. you wanna MOC and create? have fun. just stop bitching about it coming back, just ask for orderable constraction pieces since that is what you want, hell 3D print the shit.>>11753319we exist, and I have stayed quiet up till this point because I just normally ignored it, but it is hard to ignore when you wanna indulge in some Nostalgia and the thing you get bombarded with is "GAIZ CHECK OUT MUH MOC" followed by XY and Z of "OMG WHEN ARE THEY GONNA BRING BACK BIONICLE, WHY WONT THEY BRING IT BACK". only thing more retarded and annoying then an MOC fag wondering why Bionicle died and isnt coming back is the Pokemon fan that still buys the Nintenslop and cards and wonders why Gayfreak shits out the bare minimum in effort.>>11753322thankfully I am not that.>>11753315MLP FIM got buried by the entirety of the internet because Bronies would not shut the fuck up

Somebody also make a new /pbbg/ thread and use the pic of all 4 Mattel Brick Shop Masters of the Universe sets please. And a new Pokemon thread please.
>>11753323Just do big barrels of parts and let people make stuff would likely be best, with small instructions on ideas like those huge brick bins but with a bunch of limbs, hands, everything, maybe a new mask or two but making thematic color packs would be nice, dark purple, magenta, and a lot of other missing stuff would be greatly appreciated, also more regular orange, anyways you made any mocs? Just curious, post em via imgur or something
>>11753333Fuck
>>11753332Really? Is this how its gonna be
>>11753330sure, that would be great for a creative that wants to build and buy Technic, that isnt keeping Bionicle alive or bringing it back though which is my whole point in contention. >"bring technic back!" should be what you say at this point.
>>11753332>>11753333Wtf is this, how?
>>11753334I just wish technic weren’t as expensive, or pneumatic stuff, I don’t wanna spend 500 dollars on a really long tube for the funny. Also speaking of I need to build some technic vehicle stuff compatible for Bionicle, just have been lazy which sucks, maybe later in the year or when I get a bricklink order or two going for shit like the scala saddle
Even as someone whose displays are just sets with extra minifigs and some bonus pieces I can't imagine how you can enjoy this hobby with zero interest in MOCs.

>>11753343>>11753328You need to be wiped.
>>11753341Also yeah those big bionicle tubs were always somewhat interesting, funny how thats the only time anything flex cable showed up in that theme and was the last time flex cables appeared before being brought out behind the shed and shot to ribbons
>>11753346Why? Huh
>>11753337I don't have Zero interest in it, I just hate that it is so prevalent that it basically overshadowed everything that would sustain the theme itself.also this >>11753340
>>11753349Leave.
>>11753344>>11753348I remember doing some crazy shit with those parts. they stopped making tubs like that after 2005, right around the time they did the Inika build - go figure
>>11753353Damn shame, maybe pirakas sold too well for them to give us spares, closest we got that year was that guy with the roller skates, also mindboggling how you see basically 0 technic OR bionicle fans bring up flex tubes, considering how they were really prevalant for a while until abruptly stopping around 2003 or so, guess they got got in the great mold genocide, though their prices also got spiked by that unfortunately for me
Is it that hard to make Bionicle a Technic subtheme again? There is proof you can build cool action figures with all existing Technic pieces right now, only new molds required would be weapons and masks maybe hands too.Also, is it just me or nowadays we don't have that many subthemes? We used to have more.
>>11753361There was going to be an attempted collab of doing a bunch of technic built animals on 8/10 or something a few years ago but nobody did it, one guy had some really nice ones with play functions but yeah currently everything’s in a slum, and there is an active subtheme genocide going on

So I’ve been thinking about how LEGO could actually reboot Bionicle without repeating G2’s mistakes, and honestly the answer seems pretty obvious now.The big change is the build style. Drop pure constraction and go mostly System with some Technic. Basically a Technic skeleton with ball joints, then layered brick-built armor on top. Around 130–170 pieces per Toa. It keeps the posability but makes them feel like real LEGO sets again, and way more customizable.Price-wise it has to stay accessible:Toa in the $15–20 rangeSmall villains around $10–15Mid-tier villains $25Titan maxing out at $40Wave 1 would just be the classic Toa Mata lineup:Tahu with sword and shield, more bulky and aggressiveGali with hooks/spears and smoother armor shapingLewa lighter, fast-looking, maybe small brick-built wingsOnua as the heavy tank with a hammerPohatu more compact and agileKopaka with spear and shield, cleaner icy designVillains would be simple but effective:A cheap beast enemy (Rax) for army buildingHumanoid “corruptor” enemies with an infection gimmickWarden Gravox as the main boxed villainAnd a titan called The Kernel as the big badPlay features stay straightforward:Swappable masks with simple “power” identitiesA core piece in each chest for collectibilityToa can combine in pairs into larger buildsSummer wave would expand things instead of replacing them:Upgraded versions of the same Toa with new armor and masksShift the setting into jungle and underwater environmentsIntroduce a Barraki-style creature villainAdd a bigger titan like the Shadow ColossusPlus smaller creature sets and mask packs as cheap entry points
>>11753378Story would start simple and build over time:The world is basically a giant biomechanical system being taken over by something called the Archive, a corrupted AI rewriting everythingThe Toa are reactivated defenders tied to different regionsMasks are fragments of control over this systemInstead of dumping heavy lore immediately, just do short-form content online and slowly expand it.Rough 3-year plan:Year 1 establishes the core six and main conflictYear 2 expands the world, adds combiners and maybe a simple game tie-inYear 3 goes bigger with a show and larger display-style setsMain goal is just to make Bionicle feel like LEGO again while keeping the identity that made it stand out in the first place.
>>11752918pic unrelated?
>>11752918Only now I realise this, dreamzzz is probably the first theme that used ai to design the sets. We all know lego has no shame in using ai. Like sure, a designer still work on yhem but the core ideas for the sets and probably a sort of mockup idea for pitch is done by ai. Like tell chatgpt make me a wacky zanny lego theme
>>11753368Tongue my anus niggerfaggot.
>>11753378>>11753379This shit reads like AI. LAME!
>>11753323>MLP FIM got buried by the entirety of the internet because Bronies would not shut the fuck upAnd you want Bioncle fans to act the same way as stated here >>11753295>PONY FAGS do this shit better then we doPick a fucking lane and stay in it.
>>11753383People be sick of you. Ironic how this lends to humans better with you being blocked.
>>11752918I think one problem dreamzzz has is the animal builds. Like chima made sense because of the lore but here they dont make sense and try to be cute. They really shouldnt have made dreamzzz unisex and focus on boys theme angle not both boys and girls.Lego Elves wouldve been better as unisex and feature minifigs. Anyway I think we are close to our first original theme with fleshie minifigs...
>>11753384AI would have grouped it into sections with headings and dot points, and thrown some emdashes in there
>>11753378>Drop pure constraction and go mostly System with some Technic.Lame, dead on arrival>Basically a Technic skeleton with ball joints, then layered brick-built armor on top.Nevermind, I'm interested again
>>11753386give it a rest eric
Are we gonna get cheap Lord of the Rings sets next year with Hunt for Gollum movie? I'm torn on how Lego will handle Zelda and LotR sets in 2027 because both themes get big movies coming out. With Zelda I guess we should know if we get sets by september since the movie comes out in May 2027.For LotR I will only own the Balrog booknook and Sauron helmet if they don't make cheaper sets.

>>11753026My headcanon is that Lego trying to keep away from "war" relateg stuff is what limits technic a lot. It's mostly cars with occasional construction vehicle or some space stuff recently. But we could have tanks or other military vehicles. Where are all the aircrafts? Ships? Some mechas/robots? Plenty of these is often used in battles/conflicts so Lego wants to keep their hands clear. What about trains and trams then? Or some fun contraptions that aren't vehicles. There's so much cool stuff that you can find googling, but official sets have none of that.
>>11751038Oh boohoo the mini figure looks like a mini figure it was ass from the get go they still have technic sets they still use loads of bionicle parts in ninjago it’s bullshit they can’t bring back real bionicle
>“It hits on two challenging aspects. First, Bionicle, then second cosplay,” said Graphic Designer Tore Magelund Harmark-Alexandersen to Brick Fanatics at Fan Media Days 2025.>“If you do a cosplay elf warrior in a collectable minifigures series, it’s just going to look like an elf warrior. Where’s the cosplay aspect? Unless we do it in a rough way. So we thought marrying the two was a perfect solution, and having the little canister that they were originally in underlines that story.”https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-minifigures-series-spotlight-bionicle/
