God I miss the early 2000's era of lego
>muh stickersExplain why stickers are bad, prints wear off in time, stickers don't
>>11778941hard to perfectly align and they peel
>>11778941>>11778943On top of that, they generally don't color match very well. And even if they do clear ones, they can tend to get air bubbles under them. Sometimes the stickers themselves aren't even cut particularly well centered to begin with.
>>11778930You are so fucking stupid it's unreal. You don't deserve an actual response to that drivel.
Is the Lego® Editions™ Soccer ball based on any of the FIFA world cup official balls or something?I cant seem to find the originalAlso why is it tranny flag color?
>>11778941they fucking suck
>>11778947this is so fucking stupid
>>11778945Explain what's "stupid" about my take? What's wrong? I'm totally right, the ST nodtalgia era is coming, there just needs a animated show set during that era and people will be nostalgic. And the upcoming Ryan Gosling Starfighter movie is set 5 years after The Rise of Skywalker. And be sure next year Lego will produce LOTS of sets for it. Also a Kylo Ren bust is coming which means new Kylo minifig!
>>11778953I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a fucking retard.
>>11778955Ah sure, call me stupid for coming with actual facts, but don't cry when lego will do a lot of sequel trilogy sets in late 2027... it is math, the sequel era nostalgia is inevitable. Heck, fucking hobbit gets nostalgia now! Snyderverse too!
>>11778931No wonder Lego turned to shit, two of the three owners are middle aged women.
>>11778959>Ah sure, call me stupidI will, because you are really fucking stupid
>>11778953An animated series won't save the ST era just by existing. And again, TFA is over 10 years old, and that era is aging year by year. PT-era animated shows actually made sense, since you had a literally army of grunts you could make up backstories for and stories, plots, and battles around. Plus, basically none of the clone wars happened within the confines of any of the PT movies, other than the catalyst that started it in AotC and the very end in RotS. There were literally years worth of events that happened in between those movies that they could make up.What stories are there to be told about the ST era? The three movies didn't even have a cohesive plot to begin with. And the only things that are unexplained were bafflingly stupid, not intriguing threads left to be explored ("Somehow, Palpatine returned").
>>11778931How would you guys design your perfect Space or Castle theme?
How big of a failure are the smart bricks? When will lego admit it was a mistake?>>11778962Does the Kristiansen family still own the company? I know they aren't involved anymore
>>11778966There is literally a 1 year difference between TLJ and TROS. TLJ literally happens 48 hours after the events of TFA.... so they don't have a lot of time to tell stories between the ST films, there should've been a sort of 1 year between TFA and 8th but JJ fucked it up by doing the cliffhanger ending with Luke... imo in the end Bob Iger is to blame, he should've moved TFA to 2016 not 2015 like Brad Bird said when he was going to direct it. But Iger wanted it in 2015.
>>11778947I just saw someone buying this at the store.
>>11778953You're a genuine imbecile.
>>11778972>imo in the end Bob Iger is to blame, he should've moved TFA to 2016 not 2015 like Brad Bird said when he was going to direct it. But Iger wanted it in 2015.Yeah, because they wanted an immediate return on the billions they handed over to Lucas. That was always one of the major issues with the ST: They went in with literally no plan at all, other than "Well, we JUST need to make sure it isn't as 'bad' as the Prequels!" Haha, look how that worked out. They had no plan for an actual trilogy, they were just throwing out ideas countless movies and TV shows, and spinoffs, with no real direction.They knew the sequels sucked, that's why all of their shows ended up hinging on legacy characters, like trying their damnedest to make stuff like Obi-Wan, Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, setting Mando in an era that they could dump characters like Luke and Ahsoka in, because no one gave a shit about Rey and Finn and Poe, and whoever.
>>11778976it sucks because Finn, Poe, Rey and that soccer ball actually seamed like a fun cast of characters before they placed Rey front and center, turned Finn into a joke for the chinese audience, and added a shitload of unnecessary people to the crew. I don't even know who Boolio even is
>>11778976The Obi Wan Kenobi show is the last series I ever watched from them, literally stopped at episode 2, they ruined Ewan's Obi Wan... after finding out the story was planned for a movie and they streched the movie script into 6 episodes and gave it to a mediocre tv director...ughAlso, on lego side, should lego do more $10 non microfighter sets like the Mando speeder bike? I think they should, imo a $10 custom speeder series would make more sense than micro fighters or mechs.
>>11778991Something like this
>>11778993they'd sell these for 20 minimum
>>11778991>Also, on lego side, should lego do more $10 non microfighter sets like the Mando speeder bike? I think they should, imo a $10 custom speeder series would make more sense than micro fighters or mechs.Yes they should
>>11778971>Does the Kristiansen family still own the company? I know they aren't involved anymoreThese 3 together apparently hold 75% of the stakes. Even if everything is directed towards other people, their influence cannot be dismissed
>>11778973Why didn't you call the police?
>lambda shuttle I don't get itIf you people want to have a screen accurate imperial shuttle why even bother to ask Lego to make one- which is near impossible because compromises have to be made. Just get a fucking plastic model or something?
Okay /lg/ the Lego Group for some weird reason has asked you, yes you anon, to help make Lego be a better company. They will unquestionably follow your advice but you can only give them three suggestions before they come to their senses and realize they are dealing with some autismo on the internet. What three fixes are you giving them?
>>11779014Do a proper, original Space theme every yearDo a proper, original Castle theme every yearDo a proper, original Pirates theme every year
>>11779014"retro" styled theme comprised of new Castle and Space sets made with very simple techniques and a limited colour paletteConstraction figures made almost entirely of standard technic parts and ball joints, with a very small amount of unique parts thrown inXalax reboot
>>11779017>Xalax rebootbased
>>11779014Focus more on buildable figures and mechs.Phase out prints entirely in favor of stickers.Stop making castle sets.
>>11779017>>11779020You’ll get your F1 CMF and you’ll like it!Act now before they FLY off the shelves!
Reposting over here too because I’m genuinely curious.>>11779037Seems like one of the shit stirrers is also scalping images and passing them off as his own. Again, I posted this in May of 2024, and it’s sad as shit looking back on how much better threads were even 2 years ago.
>>11779020>>11779030This is 36 parts, 7 more than the F1 CMFs, if you give them modified heads, and simple torso prints, but exclude any sort of limb prints or accessories, then these should go for around 5 dollars
>>11779010They've already made perfect shuttle sets though. The playset from 2016 (?) and the UCS one. People loved those and few compromises were made.
>>11779042Explain this thenhttps://www.reddit.com/r/LegoSpace/comments/1cilxg0/space_plushies_found_at_target/Is this you too?
>>11779014Fuck NinfagoFuck NufriendsFuck DreamzzzFuck Chinese panderingFuck smart bricksFuck soccer setsFuck F1 helmetsFuck Filoniwars SlopMore CastleMore WesternMore City that makes senseMore Horror monstersMore Space
Added a 2nd y-wing bombing the light cruiser because I liked it that much. I put two blue (ion?) lasers on the background, can also be from old arquitens point defense (laser) cannons which use clone wars era gas idk. Also added more stars moons and planets to the background. By the way if anyone can think of better positioning for the ships just let me know. It has to leave room for two more imperial ships though, military or civilian container transports.
>>11779167My bad that was before I updated the background. Here we go.
>>11778941Anon stickers chip and flake all the time.
>>11779170>>11779167The background really makes it look good
>>11778947>Also why is it tranny flag color?teal/magenta/whiteis notlight blue/pink/whiteit's close, which is a sort of snarky way to make people think they are "using muh-colors" but um... not reallyI'm not personally a fan of "colors mean things" but I'm not in charge of that so I have to cope about it
>>11778966>What stories are there to be told about the ST era?that's the point.it can be set with ALL NEW characters doing and ALL NEW thingit's crazy risky but the potential to create a NEW thing is high. you still have lightsabers and starfighters and da Force surrounds us stuff. they kinda messed up The Mandalorian but that's solid proof that a no-ties-to-the-past original thing CAN be goodforget the past. kill it if you have to(seriously one of the best lines they had in that garbage dump sequel trilogy)
>>11779010No one’s asking for “screen accurate” this or that. They’re saying the general proportions ought to be correct, which is hardly beyond the designers capabilities
>>11778969Pirate KnightsIt’s a fantasy/castle theme but all the sets are boats and/or nautical themed.Flagship sets are a big castle/ship hybrid (imagine a castle built atop a ship base) and a castle turret/lighthouse hybrid being attacked by a fishy dragon.
>>11779042You still didn't answear to this >>11779112
>>11779002>>11778993I’d certainly impulse buy a lot more Lego if these sorts of sets were more common
>>11779014Immediately greenlight a Pacific Rim theme that will include every jaeger and kaiju from the first movie.Immediately create a City subline for theme park rides with regular, high-quality releases.Immediately hire me as a consultant with a $10 million yearly salary, locked in for 10 years.
What are the best poseable minifig alternatives? I think the current style is outdated af.
>>11779195>it can be set with ALL NEW characters doing and ALL NEW thingYeah, but they've already been doing that.>Mando>Book of Boba Fett>Ahsoka>Acolyte>Andor>Skeleton Crew>Obi Wanetc....And pretty much all of those blew. AND they were almost all exclusively based around (or had heavy elements from) the OT and PT. If they can't even put out good material based around the eras of SW that people actually liked, why would anyone care about additional material surrounding an era they don't like?
>>11779203They all look like shit
>>11779204>Yeah, but they've already been doing that.>>Acolyteyou know there is probably some writer of Acolyte that is going insane why nobody goooshed all over their amazing story! it was going to be so good! all the twists! all the surprise-murders! we did the make-a-lightsaber-red-thing!!!!! Jedi wookie! (well, we kinda murdered him d'oh!) they cast the best people! Squid Game Guy! Trinity! the girl from Wolverine!!!! AHH!!! (ooops, I guess we murdered them, too... double-d'oh!) there was such a cliff-hanger ending... was that PLAGEUS??!!! tune in to find out!!! cancelled, what?super embarrassing Lego did not do a single set for Acolyte. at least Skeleton Crew got a set
>>11779218what was he reacting to?
PokéMon Leak:*Pokémon CMF in the works for FALL 2027 release*Most characters are opponents of Ash*like gym leaders, gary, teamrocket, etc, but also Ash’s mom*each character comes with their own Pokémon*Ash’s mom comes with Mr Mime*instead of disposable boxes like other cmf they come in large multi part Poké Balls similar to how Vidiyo came in their own little carrying case*there’s two additional series in the works*it’s not cmf 1 or cmf 2 but the first one is Poké Ball cmf series and the second is Great Ball cmf series*price is estimated $18 USD each*10 characters in first wave with their own respective Pokémon in the first wave*depending on demand this could be a lot more waves
>>11779199>>11779112I don’t use Reddit and when I clicked on the link it was just an orange blinking Reddit head icon. Which seems more likely: I distinctly recognized, remembered, still had it on my phone, posted it with a timestamp, and then linked to the archive post from TWO YEARS ago that confirms what I posted originally?Or I guess I could be lying… for uh… fuck if I know? Internet clout?
>>11779220$18 each Lego is getting greedy. 10 of 'em = $180each one needs more than a poly-bag-sized build to get $18 out of it. Lego will cry m-m-m-molds! but we already know that's BS. this is the ultimate test of customer broken mentality sloppity slop slurping posture. I hope society passes the testbut.. if Lego can "figure it out" and "pay whatever they ask" to get Pokemon TRADING CARD GAME card in these... guaranteed 10x salesalso Ash WEARING his hat (with Pikachu!) locked into $140 set lol
>>11779203You'd think a poseable minifig would be cool, but I got one from Aliexpress and it showed a lot of problems. Any helmet makes the head movement redundant, the same goes for the the chest since it prevents both the ab crunch and arm movement. I think implementing a bend on the arm is impossible because it's way too thin. The legs can't be seated on a 2x1 plate normally because it's slightly wider to accompany the ball joint in the waist. It's also held together by friction weaker than Lego's clutch power, so any stud connection would separate the legs. The waist swivel also prevents any belt accessory.
>>11779220You touch kids.
This will be the first advent calendar I ever buy, after years of looking at Star Wars ones I think this is the best one they ever did
>>11779220This means its not part of CMF theme but part of pokemon theme, sounds expensive but it also means these molds will be reused, maybe as an excuse to create so many minifig scale molds. I wonder if it will have codes.
>>11779230>hope society passes the testThey won't
>>11779224You are either retarded or a filthy liar, you can see the post without an account, I never had a reddit account and can read it:https://www.reddit.com/r/LegoSpace/comments/1cilxg0/space_plushies_found_at_target/Here's pic related as proof of you lying.
>>11779243>>hope society passes the test>They won'tyep. exactly. I was talking ironically.but.......society did reject Vidiyo, with muh-double-prices. I know Pokemon is a whole different thing, but the concept of only a single minifig for $20, with very minimal extra pieces, was DOA. Lego may be tempting a repeat of fate with this one. is Pokemon enough, all alone?in any case, at $10 each, I'm getting them all. at $18 each, I'll only get a couple (maybe? depends on who-whats) but that's just me
>>11779170Added a red turbolaser to the background and missiles coming from the DP20 gunships. I'm unsure exactly where they launch their missiles from so I took a creative liberty and figured it's the rear section. The moc they're based on placed turrets there so I will asssume they're missile launchers. Anyway no mail arrived today, so expect the container transports to be built tomorrow or Friday.
>>11779245Like I said tardo I don’t use it. But go ahead and post more bullshit. Just a blinking fagface and I tried two browsers. Notice how I posted mine with the May 2024 date too? Weird.Also as I said before >>11779042Seems like some buttmunch is snagging other people’s images and passing them off and it’s been known to happen before.Why would I have it on my phone and how could I hack it into the archives smart guy?
>>11778959>>11778953>the shill is an unironic ST defenderLet me guess, Yidsneed forced that position on you along with your general shill contrach nonce
>>11779245Also love how there’s no date on that and I’M THE ONE THAT FOUND THEM AT TARGET. Had a whole conversation with that guy I kept calling baddad who turned out to be a stereotype break by being black and a good dad.
>>11779211Harvey Weinstein assistant show
>>11779245And one more thing. Even if you did snag that off some Reddit bullshit, why they fuck are you reposting reddit shit on here two years after the fact?
>>11779257>>11779264Are you happy now? Stop lying that its not working when it works for everyone else
this shows that the shill and the reddit reposter are the same homo, and that one looney has been ruining this thread, and board, for years upon years.
>>11779266Because you fool, the image was an example of lego doing plushies and found it cute so I posted it and you like a moron came and said "reeee this is mine" , bitch, when you post here pictures they become public domain.
>>11779268>>11779270You posted it to fill up the image count in the last thread you shit stirring psychopath. I didn’t come out flinging shit. I asked a question: why does someone do this. I guess I got my answer.>>11779269You’re absolutely fucking right!
Cool moc bros
Cool pedo bro
>>11778931every day we stray a bit further from god
Two years later and shoved in a pile of plushies. But go on post your own Lego.We all know you won’t.
>>11779204>MandoNot original, takes places on the same planets as the OT features heavily re-established characters>Book of Boba FettPre-established character>AhsokaPre-established character>AcolyteOnly original story and it had to feature Plaguis and Yoda>AndorPre-established character during the OT>Skeleton CrewOnly truly original product>Obi WanPre-established character
question, to any lego designer,why doesn't this piece exist yet? I feel like it should, it fits perfectly, there are plently of other cheaty ways to reverse stud direction with 1 plate between them, and we already have a horizontal ring piece. I feel like every other specialized plate has both vertical and horizontal variants except for the ring plate.
>>11779288
I bought a box of lego off shopgoodwill and it had this case and these old minifigs from 1985.
I finally got the DeLorean. It's crazy how many tricks are being used to make it look accurate.>>11779241Yup. Looking forward to a real IG88 and Grey Jawa. He will be the elder of my Jawas.>>11779290Lucky.
>>11779250if they weren't trying to lose money for tax reasons they should have fired the guy who came up with Vidiyo for being that out of touch
>>11779220Calling this fake because I don’t believe TPC will want anime-focused stuff, especially now that Ash is out of the picture.
>>11779288>>11779289GIVE BALLJOINT TO RATCHET JOINT ADAPTOR IN A SMALLER SPACE, BOTH TYPES TOO
>>11779188The thing is that, it's not that they want to sneak in tranny colors, but rather put on a (pathetic) spin on the ever-classic blue and red combo to deel modern and edgy. At that's the logic when non-tranny supporters use them colors
>>11779218kek
>>11779310I use those colors but purely because pastels are pretty.
>>11779010the 2015 shuttle was great and that came out 11 years ago
>>11779218>>11779311why does this dude look like he's about to cry in every video
>>11779254Had an idea to use craft paper as a temporary background until I can make it all out of plates. Used crayon for that dulled episode VI film effect. Good thing I have family with these art supplies.
>>11779329nobody else stopped
>>11779329#CalmAdult
>>11779329I think it should count for avatarfagging at this point, I am tired of youtubers.
>>11779289>>11779288this reminds me of that hand piece from those Homemaker figure hands
>>11779369
>>11779373he looks like keemstar but even browner
>>11779352Better without the lego background for now. They don't seem to mix well. I quite like this now though. Changed the elevation of some ships too.
>>11779298>they should have fired the guy who came up with Vidiyo for being that out of touchthe ONLY thing wrong with Vidiyo was the double-price. Lego did the SAME THING with the [Smart Brick]they tried to recoup development costs in the short-term by passing that price along to the consumer. the customer is not responsible for that, and it's immediately rejected. Lego wanted that money back right away, and expected the customers to reward them, too. it's such a backward-crazy thing to expect
I actually liked vidiyo sets and a lot of the characters. It totally deserved to fail though. I’m glad they’ve given up on phone app themes.
>>11779283I'm not sure what the purpose of your reply was...I was pointing out that they have all of these new shows that are largely based around the same characters, locations, and relative time-frame from the OT and PT, and should hypothetically be a run-away success based on that. You'd imagine people would love most of those shows and they could make toys and merch based on any other new characters, or vehicles, or locations introduced, but most people see all those shows (other than the early 1-2 Mando seasons and maybe Andor) as complete trash.So, if people aren't biting at the nostalgia bait that was supposed to be "easy money," how or why on Earth would anyone give a shit if they start making new shows based on or set in the sequel era when almost no one gave a shit about those movies and that era?
>>11779410Made a fuller stand for the rebel ships. Maybe some day I'll order a bunch of black plates. Hopefully tomorrow I can make the container transports.
>>11779469Hell yeah dude. Container ships from the old X-wing flight simulators?
>>11779329it's hard being the only lego youtuber not compromising their independent integrity to get free sets from the lego ambassador network
>>11779508But there are plenty of independent YTers who don't get free sets and are also not little bitches who whine whenever someone disagrees with something.

Jang made a post on his blog about his current status and honestly this is kind of worrying. I wish him the best. He should have just taken the Lego sponsorship.https://www.jangbricks.com/2026/04/a-very-jang-update.html?m=1

>>11779574Is Jang legit autistic? If you're trying to explain your current situation, and lament some of the eras where your hobby/YT channel wasn't profitable or was dipping down, do we really need a detailed past of when you were born and raised, and that you joined some random forums in 1993?This is all completely unrelated to your financial and space woes.
>>11779582I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the spectrum, considering quirks like that and his hyperfixation on productivity. He's a chronic workaholic and it's clearly taking a significant mental tollI'm surprised his wife is satisfied the the main interaction they have with each other is "watching a couple shows at dinnertime before heading off to my 2nd and/or 3rd work shift"It just doesn't seem worth itI can't imagine he could just go back to a UX job 20 years after leaving the industry, certainly nothing as prestigious as paypal, but surely there's something better he could be doing rather than self destructing trying to keep an independent toy review channel afloat
>>11779582the sleep deprivation is causing insanity>>I sleep as little as 4 hours/nightdude, just post reviews of Legos, you don't need to explain the process. take a nap and skip a week. people will understand or notit's like when the boss asks why you were late for work. the boss doesn't really care about the answer, just say "I'm sorry, it won't happen again." whatever explanation you would have given is meaningless. nobody really needs this guy's life story, we're here for reviews of Lego (???)

>>11779014>They will unquestionably follow your advice but you can only give them three suggestions1 -- new CMF series EVERY MONTH. random themes or like Fortnite/Animal Crossing/Star Trek2 -- did I say Star Trek? Yes. lots of that. multiple sets. all series. Make it so.3 -- 3 to 4 MORE minifigs in each and every set. stop being so stingy with those minifigs. 2 Animal Crossing minifigs in an $80 set is insane. it should be like 8 minifigs in an $80 set what are you doing?! Lego could be shaming Hasbro Star Wars with a gazillion background characters but all they ever do is Luke and a Stormtrooper. get working on those hundreds of Gulp Shittos!!!

>>11779678A lot of dead posts
>>11779680And you are a pedophile.
>>11779668>new cmf every monthAre you insane? Designers made the count lower from 16 to 12 because they have less ideas now for regular cmf and thats why we also get 2 movie cmfs in between, also this means cmfs will retire in over a month when the next one comes out and people won't have money or time to collect them all. Stupid idea.
>>11779683well the idea was that you could ignore muh-Spider-mans and that Naruto set but next month is the Pirates and you'll want all of those.Lego shouldn't run out of ideas. that's ridiculous and/or lazy. for example, they made a tuba guy. how many other instruments could they do? they stopped at like, 5 cheerleaders. that's just 2 things. there are infinite things.it would be fun to watch those FOMO collectors try and get all of them lol but I'm fine only getting a couple of each set. I just want more options
>>11779576I cannot believe Lego gets away with selling the same roller coaster design as 3 "different" sets in 2 consecutive yearsLike look at this
>>11779686
>>11779687
>>11779686Has anybody used those rings in a bionicle moc
>>11779200They used to be a long time ago...
>>11779689I seem to recall seeing something at some point
>>11779690I wanna go back
Who's to blame for the downfall of lego star wars? I kinda think the MCU is responsible for this too, they took kids who would've been SW fans and made them comic book fans which in turn made them anime fans hence we get stuff like OP
>why does lego suck so much nowGeee I wonder why...
Minifiggers need to be fucking shot. You subhumans are what ruined this hobby. Just go collect your labubus and don't come near my building block toy, please.
>>11779686>>11779687>>11779688It's almost as if it's the easiest track design you can do, and anything more elaborate would have to be a lot larger.
>>11779698Because of morons like you we get so many BRICK BUILT CHARACTERS and CARS. You are to blame for Lego's downfall. Minifigures are the core of Lego, the most important piece in the puzzle if you will.
>>11779686>>11779687>>11779688I like that Lego is basically beating people over the head with the thought of:just freaking buy ONE of these coaster sets, and make your own for crying out loud! see how easy and cool it is?!!! we did it three times!
>>11779697This is not even half of all themes lego does right now. Designers mentioned because of "high demand, multiple themes over 700+ different sets released per year" that the molding machines are never cooling off, because of high demand they make more factories.I think there are a lot of factors here to blame on lego's decline from set design, to meeting sales quotas and QC. Can't blame it really on someone.
I never did a moc in my entire life and never will. I always follow instructions, I built my sets, I display my sets, I dust my sets, I pray to my sets and say I'm such a loser and would never deserve such a blessing of sets from this amazing company. Anyone else? Not satire btw, this is legit how I live. My little secret.
>>11779710
>>11779717He did nothing wrong. Maybe glue part was too much.
>>11779717pic not related, he had mocs everywhere but just believed Lego builds should be with their own kind instead of mixed altogether (absolutely not wrong statement on immigration by Lego)
>>11778941I genuinely would not be against stickers as much as I am if they actually color matched with the bricks, this shit goes as far back as 2014 and I'm so fucking sick of it.
>>11779167>>11779170Crazy idea but maybe you should throw out the entire bookcase and replace it with a black one instead.
>>11779707>nuLego>telling you to build your own stuffgood one
>>11778941Stickers are aids squared, dont like em, peel em off
>>11779576the Fortnite one is the best
>>11779743I literally have this exact bookshelf filled with sets right across from my bed
Will try to figure out random bricks tomorrow, mothers day is just gonna be maybe a flower or something
Hopefully I see one of these in person or some more pipes
>>11779784i will pneumatically control your mum's valve if i see her in person, if you know what i meannnn
>>11779582The problem is that Jang thinks that producing more content means he has a higher likelihood of success, when in reality, the key to the being a successful influencer is to relegate tasks and devote your time into making content relevant to trends that capture audience attention and boost your analytics.As much as you guys shit on MandR, he's an OG like Jang and has been able to maintain 10x the viewers per month because he's evolving his content based on current events and putting it in a format that's more than just green-screening himself in front of product images or making commentary on a set with a white background. A channel with a million subscribers and over a decade of running should be able to pay an editor, have a unique filming / studio space, have collaborations with other creators, have a collection at-hand to do unique comparisons and commentary with and have a range of content largely submitted to a main channel which can draw in the most viewership. Jang didn't evolve with the times and has been coasting. Even if you look at a more comparable creator, like Bricksie, who mainly reviews new products and builds his city, you'll see a huge mismanaged time difference. Bricksie bought a commercial space to make a huge layout and turned it into lifestyle content to better match a more personalized vlog-esque channel, he found his niche.
>>11779814I'm lukewarm on MandR, but the difference between him (and many other current Lego YTers) is simply that he younger and more relatable to the average person specifically watching these videos. He's a zoomer who grew up in the early and mid 2000s, and many similar YTers and his intended audience are teens and twenty somethings. Most of the popular YT Lego channels are all 20-somethings who focus primarily on Star Wars because they grew up in that era with the prequels, and where there was an endless train of Clone Wars and prequel-related content.Jang, on the other hand, is as 50+ something who is trying to show up and hang and mingle with people half his age. I get that people like that Jang tends to try to be more down to Earth and "nice" but he just doesn't really have the energy of MandR. MandR also found a way to literally run a business off of Lego from several different angles, including all the shit he resells as well as all the custom stuff he makes.Jang is legitimately stuck in the past on a lot of his own content. When his old channel got nuked, he should have cut his losses and just focused on doing the best he could going forward. He spent months, if not more, trying to re-upload all of his old videos from 5, 10, 15 years ago. No one cares. No one is going to go back and rewatch hundreds, if not thousands of videos from some random sets that came out in 2012, or whatever. He's just wasting his time grinding and trying to salvage content that no one will go back and watch again. What's more, I think he is spreading himself way too thin across several different channels. You don't need a channel for Lego, and one for alt brick sets, and one for reveals, and one for reviews, and on and on. Cut the fuckin' fat a little bit.
any lego art collectors here?is the mona lisa really as shit as everyone says? the frame looks nice
Apparently the summer pokemon sets reveal is near, we should start seeing teasers starting next week, Lego will want to drop the reveals daily and the minifigure pokeball will be the last one.Very shitty situation on dmart play side but I think they are making changes to their 2027 range of sets as we speak, I think we will get less smart play in 2027. Now all could change if the pokemon smart play sets sell and they might compared to star wars because a lot of characters will get their first ever appearence in lego in those sets.
>jang is 50-somethingfuck
it's too early to judge smart play until they add it to pokemon and ninjago
>>11778953Bro, its been 11 years since sequel era began....
>>11779846Smart Play would've worked best with City and Harry Potter, doing it with Star Wars was a huge mistake and Idk who is to blame there.Smart Play also ruined what could've been a near perfect OT wave for kids.
>>11779848I sure hope someone gets fired for that blunder
>>11779848Like, I personally really like the designs and if Lego completed them without empty spaces and had no tech involved and were only normal sets it would've been an amazing wave.
>>11779848They couldn't launch it with harry potter because it'd attract controversy from you know whoStar Wars was a legitimately good option to start with (pew pew ships with dynamic sounds), the play patterns just didn't live up to the promise of what the product could deliver
>>11779849Not releasing the City smart play wave was a mistake, even if these were done for testing.
>>11779848Iirc the smart brick is a synthesizer? they could have sold it with a shitload of tiles for it to read, and a technic treadmill and let people make shitty electronic music with their customizable music box
>>11779814>>11779827Jang seems more interested in doing what he likes than doing what would be best for the algorithm - it's a legitimate choice, but if he's relying on his content creation for financial stability that it's just going to lead to the turmoil he's been experiencing for yearsI'm sure he'd say he's adapted to changes because he did with COPPA etc, but it's not enough if he wants to recapture success that he had 10 years ago
>>11779852They had City, SW has too many iconic sounds. Let's see how they handle Pokemon. Will Pikachu say Pika Pika?Crazy but the course building system Mario had was better than smart play and safer because you could remove the battery! Will Lego even be able to sell smart bricks in EU with new laws of removable batteries starting 2027?
>>11779855So like Vidiyo?
>>11779827Jang is also fake. “just a nice guy” is a larp. He’s not nice. He has outright contempt for his audience. But he set up his entire livelihood on them so he has to sing and dance or he will be consumed by the Bay Area Cost of Living.
>>11779858Nono, no phones involved here, this would be something that could be put under the Education section of Lego, like the Mindstorm sets
>>11779844When you realize he could be retired by now if he kept his engineering job and have more money for lego and peace. He quit his job for youtube but refused free lego sets from TLG so he can have his own opinion but now he accepts free bootlego from competitors because he is too poor to buy sets anymore...
>>11779857>how they handle PokemonBehold the magnum opus of lego engineering!
>>11779864There's no fucking way he looks like that, I don't believe it
>>11779866It is, I find it funny because I think this leak is responsible for Lego delaying the Pokemon reveals. They also take it down a lot.
>>11779868Fucking state of Lego in 2026.Company deserves to go bankrupt
>>11779870If only they didn't make more money every year...In a perfect world, a $650 pokemon starters set would bomb. It didn't.
>>11779871yeah it's the only set that's sold out over here while eevee is getting sold for $40 while the ugly ass pikachu is already down to $140 since it doesnt sell
>>11779856lol what, noJang literally does everything he can to chase the algorithm, hence him making 4 or five different channels for every fucking project he does
>>11779874He's conscious of the algorithm but isn't doing the right things if he's purely just chasing a larger audienceThere's a balance between "I want financial stability" vs "I don't want to sell my soul", and for him the latter has been winning at the expense of the former
>>11779847Buddy the prequel revisionism didn't start until 2017. That was 18 years after the first preqeul released in 1999 and it was almost entirely fueled by prequelfags jumping on the hatred for The Last Jedi to legitmize their love for the prequels. For fuck sake TFA was initialled loved until the Last Jedi came out which is more than can be said of TPM. Shitty fucking movies don't make other shitty movies good.
>>11779883>TFA was initialled loved Are you fucking high?
>>11779883I actually liked TFA when it came out but I was very alone in that from what I remember.
i want a lego of this right now
>>11779884Yes it was dumbass. Look at any review, Look at any vlog and I don't mean those hacks at RLM. The majority of people were loving on it because it was more competent than the prequels in terms of acting and cinematography. Hell people actively lauded it for being a soft reboot and were looking forward to what was going to happen next which is why the last jedi saw the lowest drop off of any earnings for a Star Wars Trilogy while the prequels saw the highest. That's what's so infuriating about prequel apologists they have to constantly use revisionism to push their gay ass propaganda about the prequels being loved. It's so fucking telling that they always use the sequels as their base point because if they had to compare to the original trilogy they'd be fucked.
Fuck scalpers. I found a big display of the new cmfs in Smyths and they had the whole wave apart from the robo trex (which I really wanted) and the bionicle and ninjago ones.At least I got a witch though.
>>11779890No they didnt what the fuck lol
>>11779893cute cat stockings on that slut
>>11779890You are definitely fucking high.George Lucas himself described it as selling his children to white slavers… and this is the dude that made Elliot Rodger he should know. >>11779886This guy was the only fan and he can attest to the fact that TFA blew donkey balls.
>>11779895I mean just look at the Rotten Tomatoes Audience reviews anon The Force Awakens holds an audience score of 83% after over a decade and before you start bitching about "muh bot reviews" The Last Jedi is sitting at 41%. In comparison the phantom menace is sitting at 59% despite the huge revisionism campaign by preqeul fans. These trends are similar on Metacritc's user scores as well with TFA still beating TPM. The hare for the Force Awakens stems almost entirely becsude of The Last Jedi and Rise of the Skywalker.
>>11779582>Is Jang legit autistic?He's definitely on the spectrum. It's great. You know that he's legit with his opinions.
>>11779897Oh wow George called the movie shit after being personally removed from the project by the company he trusted most and his lifelong associate Kathleen Kennedy. No shit he was pissed and shit on the movie. Didn't matter people initially loved it regardless of its quality which is once again more than can be said of the prequels apart from Revenge of the Sith which was the only prequel people actually liked upon release.
>>11779814>As much as you guys shit on MandR, he's an OG like Jang and has been able to maintain 10x the viewers per month because he's evolving his content based on current eventsHe's a motherfucking Lego Star Wars creator, that's the only reason he gets the views. I don't give a shit about him and avoid watching his videos. Your opinion is trash.
>>11779900No, people didn’t initially love it. They even removed JJ Abrams then the next one sucked even more and they brought him back and the third new installment was fucking abysmal. No one is buying what you’re selling dude. No one thought that was a good movie and you know it. You’re grasping at straws to try to revisionist shit we all remember fairly well… those of use who aren’t children. Don’t you have to get ready for school? Isn’t it time to put the phone down and eat your pop tarts?It’s gotta be tiring being this wrong.
>>11779884TFA was engineered to be normie-friendly, "finally a good star wars movie again" by largely copying the formula of ANHIt worked until the other sequels demonstrated there was no plan or vision for where the story was going to go
>>11779903>Ignore realityNo. I actually remember more than a couple of years ago. Not only that I actually gave you receipts so fuck off. The Force Awakens wasn't initially hated. That is literally a fact. Shit people lauded that piece of shit Rogue One movie because they were still high on TFA and all the fucking OT pandering. People were approving Disney's handling of the series until TLJ and Solo came in and shit on all honeymoon period. Pretend all you want to try and keep making the Prequels look good but it ain't going to change what actually happened.
>>11779907I have literally said not a word about the prequels. Rouge one did well BECAUSE it wasn’t tfa. Everyone panned tfa exactly because it was just anh reboot with Mary Sue leads. >rotten tomatoes says Fuck right off with that bullshit. You even admitted bot farming in your post you disingenuous fuckwad. Stop defending a shitty movie. The prequels sucked ass too and so did the re release back in ‘97. I guess you just had to be there.
You can’t dodge the rodge.
>>11779911His mom got handed around between Spielberg and Lucas like a Chinese fingertrap.
>>11779912Here she is with Michael Jackson (and small boy) George Lucas, and Harrison Ford.
>>11779908Rogue Onw has literally the same exact fucking issues as TFA>Thinnly Veiled Story connected to A New Hope>Shitty Girlboss main lead>Retard Nostalgia pandering around the OT and its characters>Companyslop made by committee to be completely safe and appeal to normiesThe fact you think Rogue One isn't the same shit as TFA speaks volumes because you don't actually care the quality of the films you hypocritical douche.
Lego?
>>11779884>>11779890Yeah, the one dude is right, most people (even those who would come to shit on the overall sequel trilogy) were pretty pleased with TFA, even if they saw it as a little too derivative. They saw it as a solid foundation and a “return to form,” after the prequels had deviated so far from the style and tone they liked. This was also before “remember X thing? It’s back — in slop form,” had reached peak saturation, so people were pretty happy to see, like, the millennium falcon or X wings or 87 year old leia or whatever else.Of course all that soured as the sequels went nowhere and contracted one another and closed out with retarded ass-pulls and leaned more and more on nostalgia (and as the world itself leaned more and more on nostalgia), but most people were at least maybe “cautiously optimistic” about TFA on release.
>>11779927*contradicted
>>11779927No what I remember was this image getting reposted here a thousand times and the general ambivalent hate towards pulling out geriatric actors to try to make another buck. >spoilers
>>11779854They really do fit City the best. It’s funny one of the interactive elements of the Luke/Vader ship sets lets you pop a gas pump in the back and refuel them, a thing that feels very un-Star Wars but very City.
>>11779890>don’t mean those hacks at RLMI believe even the RLM guys were pretty soft on TFA upon release. Opened their video at a random spot toward the end and they say, “my biggest takeaway is that it feels like a solid sequel… it feels like a Star Wars sequel” to which a other guy replies, “they did a very good job recapturing the magic and the energy of the originals… JJ Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan, they all did a great job.”Most people were fine with TFA because they’d felt so thoroughly abused and not-serviced by the prequels. People grew to dislike it in retrospect when the whole sequel project went to absolute shit in a way even ordinary movie audiences could recognize.
>>11779937You might well remember that. It’s not representative of the fan reaction at the time of the movie’s release is what I’m saying.
>>11779849Someone will be fired, probably dozens will, but none of them will be the people actually responsible for what went wrong. Modern corporate culture rewards failure and punishes competence.
>>11779943I don’t think I’ve ever worked anywhere where the people at the top weren’t scummy and got there unethically. You are correct.
>>11779717Me in the back
>>11779847The new shows are not "prequel era". They are Filoni era slop. Nothing after Revenge of the Sith is canon.
>>11779954This.
>>11779927>>11779937Early TFA opinions were basically “the movie is safe and derivative, but maybe we need that after the prequels, and the rest of the trilogy can do something new.” People didn’t love TFA, but were willing to accept it being subpar if it got the franchise back on track.Then the rest of the ST was a dumpster fire and the franchise has been run into the ground, so all the goodwill people afforded TFA evaporated.
>>11779887Hey, maybe if you hold your breath they will.
>>11779890>Episode 7: The Prequels Sucked>Episode 8: The Force Awakens Sucked>Episode 9: The Last Jedi Sucked

Team, make it happen!Team: this is the best we could come up with...Boss: but, this [Smart Brick] sucks! are you sure?Team: we need another half-billion dollars maybe?Boss: um, no. dang. we already spent so much money! might as well release it and see what the public thinks about it....(Star Wars decision made by Boss Group who figure slop-slurpers might boost sales of the lame [Brick] despite the amount it sucks, SW slop-slurpers are solid sales estimates)who do we fire?

>>11779973If only it existed.>soonLmao even.
>>11779964The boss doesn't think it sucks, they were convinced by slide decks that the smart play features meet the corporate objectives
>>11779974That reminds me of a time I saw some guy stopped on the side of the road over some dead homeless corpse sobbing on the side of highway 237w.I didn’t stop though. This was like Mapquest days.
>>11779978Would a fat nerd actually buy brick headz? The target employee should just be happy someone is buying that shit and getting it out of her inventory. No kids would buy it. At best a mom would buy it for their brat they know nothing about as a gift.
>>11779905>It worked until the other sequels demonstrated there was no plan or vision for where the story was going to goI wonder if the TLJ "Tell us that you have a plan" plotline was metacommentary on this and Captain Hairdo was Kathleen Kennedy.
>>11779981It was more so the fact that anon was trying to get to know her but spilled spaghetti and this representation of the scenario is chef's kiss>based old HP set, big fig orc>tasteless brick headz setwhoever made this was a genius
