>>11800547This set is $170
Charmander and Geodude is $35Jigglypuff is $25Cubone and Gengar is $70
>>11800553source(on the price)?
How are kids supposed to play with this?
>>11800558>Kids?
>>11800556Bricktap>>11800558Smart brick Charizard looks better lol
>>11800558kids don't buy $650 toys but you already know that and youre just throwing in engagement bait to get your pokemon hate thread going
>>11800563>Bricktappost a screenshot
>>11800564Lego is for kids though, no amount of revisionist history is gonna change that
>>11800568Product demographics can change over time you silly cunt.
>>11800547even if i didnt know which one is Lego - it's clearly visible from that thumbnail that the one in the middle is the best version and a Lego one.>colors are better>overall structire is better (what the fuck is that "turbo drill" looking tail)>looks broken and skeletalLego looks like an actual eeviesoon mega-dorks on sudoku watchAnd the best part?they will continue making pokemon more and more up to at least first 150 ones i'm pretty sure
>>11800568>Lego is for kids thoughso...you dont have any lego? otherwise mods will ban you.dumb mega-cuck
>>11800568and you know that set is not intended for kids and no amount of playing dumb is gonna change that
>>11800343It is a conspiracy. There are two big items responsible for popularizing the “Lego outperforms the stock market” claim. 1) a 2015 Telegraph article written independently by some economics journalist on the basis of publicly available bricklink and brickset data2) the Russian peer-reviewed study by Dobrynskaya which had no corporate backing So I’d love if you could demonstrate that “these data points were by a company hired by Lego.”>lego increases in value but it usually needs like ten yearsYes, in other words, old, sealed lego sets outperform gold and stocks and bonds, which was the original claim.
>>11800555>Jigglypuff is $2588 piecesLego did a 79-piece polybag for $5(Smart Tile + it's-a-Pokemon! + 9 more pieces) = $20oh yeah, you spent $20 for that one electric brick but um, you need to spend another $70 minimum on this Star Wars, not Pokemon, set, in order for that $20 tile to "do something"keep in mind that 79-piece polybag makes a brick-built cat which, lets be honest, could easily BE a Pokemon
>>11800558and after all this hype and planning it gets mogged by a set like this
>>11800579is that top alt build supposed to be a bird? fucking oof
>>11800576Even if it's true, who cares? gravel and bricks have probably outperformed the stock market over 10 years
>>11800571>>11800575Why wouldn't it be intended for kids?
not giving you anymore (You)s especially because it makes it seem like I'm defending these garbage pokesets
>>11800558would've been interesting as modular sets with one of the 3 starters each that can either be stacked together as trio or as rivalsif i'm gonna spend €650 on lego it better be a centerpiece like the titanic or minas tirith, not that dogshit
>>11800589It’s a bit notable (or even just a bit funny) that sitting on a huge pile of children’s building blocks could net you better returns than investing with a decently talented investment advisor. For my part, had I known my Pokemon cards would outperform my actual investments by (conservatively) 10 percentage points year over year, I’d have probably sunk far more money into them.
>>11800526Some of these look pretty cool, but goddamn are they massive. Joltik is quite cute, maybe the most interesting build, but Arceus and Gyarados are also solid. I’d love to swap the pieces out and make a shiny gyarados.That said, these are all like 12 inches tall, which is ludicrously oversized.
>>11800553
>>11800598It isn't that impressive because noone wants to sit on a warehouse full of diversified children's toys just to outperform normal investments. With the knowledge today back in 2000s you could've just invested in bitcoin, apple, amazon and Nvidia and been a billionaire
>>11800605Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting anyone should “invest” in Lego (in part because, like you said, you’d need a warehouse or a fuckhueg McMansion or something to store enough to make a decent profit). I was just disputing some of the factual claims the other guy laid out.
Reposting for visibility from previuos thread.Hello /lg/, I require your superpower of identifying fake Lego clones.I have 2-3 different clones I need more information about.1, First one I have nothing concrete about, only two hunches:- Manufactory date is likely between 1985 and 1998.- Country of origin is likely Germany, based on my completely unsubstantiated memories of always believing it's from Germany and reeking of german autism.The bricks are quite elastic, especially the foundations / floors. The most striking feature are the bulbous studs. The plastic is very good quality and can clamp very strongly and satisfyingly. There are also doors and hinges included, but I forgot to take pictures of them. I possess zero documentation. The set could've been distributed in Eastern Europe.Does anyone know the manufacturer, name of set or anything that could help me out?
>>118006102, Second one is very likely related to the first set, since the bricks' are compatible with the spiky things. Their intended use was likely roof tiling or fencing, despite being reminiscent of certain insulated construction bricks. There are various converters and connectors, since the grooves don't hold onto the spiky things too well unless multiple spikes are engaged.I also had this train carriage in the same bag with them. This random piece could be a complete red herring, since while it's compatible, it's thematically different from housing materials. The axle and wheels are compatible on the surface, but the axle is too short to fit under the carriage with the wheels on.
>>118006123, Third one I actually sort of know what is, I just need more information. I have most of its pieces, but I no longer have the box.Here is what I could piece together:- The set is very similar to those made by Merkur, which is a czech toy company.- The set is called "Junior-3" and was released in Hungary.- Manufacturing date is before 2000, likely before 1998. Likely after 1980.- The local distributor only returns a single hit, on a site that won't load, with a licence date between 1991.11.18 and 1993.??.?? (wish google cache was still around)There is next to no information about Merkur and even less about Junior-3. It's entirely possible the set is a hungarian bootleg and / or school supplies. Maybe a czech anon could tell more and find the catalogue of the manufacturer.Does anyone have any information about the company or the set in question? Like manufacturing date or anything? Has anyone here even heard about Merkur?If someone really REALLY wants my pieces, I'd be happy to give them away just for the shipping fee.
>>11800576>>11800605Lego investing is a fucking meme and anyone that got into it only recently will be burned. Badly.It's only a phenomenon currently because there's big influx of people getting back into Lego as adults and creating demand for older sets - sets which no one "stockpiled" back in the day because it's obviously retarded, hence the limited supply. But now every single set gets bought up by such people and everything ends up with storage units upon storage units of supply even after retirement as the demand keeps dwindling. Even Star Wars sets, the theme with the biggest jumps in prices, are already feeling the impact of oversupply. I still see 5+ year old SW sets for below RRP.In 5-10 years you'll start seeing the current catalogue at 50% off on the aftermarket as these retards desperately try to get rid of their stock that no one wants to buy anymore.
>>11800604it’s like poetry
>>11800558>literally not one kid in the first commercialLOL
Why is everyone so obsessed with Goy Wars crap?Are you all americattles or what?
>>11800621Try that again with a little less buzzwords
>>11800616Yeah, I think it’s unlikely people stockpiling modern sets are going to replicate the success of those people who stockpiled old 80s and 90s sets. But it does seem that desirable sets from the late 2010s are following the same sort of growth trends post-retirement as vintage sets. Could well be a kind of investor/flipper bubble though, hard to say just yet.
>>11800619Well of course, it’s for adults only
unpopular opinionLego should stop making "modified heads" not feel like "lego", and in many cases they shouldn't even make a head a modified head.
>>11800621Plenty of your fellow thirdiebrowns love Disney too. Unlike you, they realize they will never be Japanese.
>>11800616>>11800655Anyone who buys and trades childrens toys like they're currency should be shot
>>11800581Fucking kink, I love these.
>>11800676Your taste is evolving for the better. Hopefully soon you'll come to terms with the fact that all licenseshit is a cancer.
>>11800613looks like meccano
>>11800676The new tusken raider looks like dogshit the other look alright
>>11800676>Lego should stop making "modified heads" not feel like "lego", and in many cases they shouldn't even make a head a modified head.i disagreei prefer molded heads for non human characters/unique characters - it makes them unique and very lego. you are probably too young to remember the special feeling of owning that "the only molded hed you have"
I wish a store consistently made "classic" style alternatives to newer models released for Lego Star Wars
>>11800752I am not entirealy against molded heads, but I'm saying there is merit in making a figure unique while also keep the "lego" aesthetics. Like the Grugo head I posted as an example.It's not just a regular head, its a specific mold with those ears, but still "lego"Like the Pinocchio head from the disney CMFThey could've molded the head entirely to look like the 2d cartoon model. But instead they turned a regular head into what Pinocchio in the lego "universe" would look like.I am not that young, I was around 10 when Lego Started making Lego Star Wars and introduced the first modified heads with JarJar and Chewbacca. And I'm not criticizing all the head molds, but as the other anon said, that tusken rider is cursed. And you can't deny that the "baby head, baby yoda" is significantly cuter than the overly detailed wrinkly head
>Lego Disney Main Street USA>The only blond white guy is in a wheelchairWhat did they mean by this
>>11800778Lego has been woke for years
>>11800772>>11800676somebody at Lego "got it"minifig-head Woody is the newer version
im nof a political person and dont understand/care about what the fuck is happening on this video (it was recommended me just now).But... lmao...this is some drama about stolen Lego and owners are Antifa-writers (?) and the guy looks like Satan with horns or some shit like that.I know this thread is full of /pol/fags and such content is like a goldmine for you. Enjoy:https://youtu.be/zedmOopRTm0
>>11800796there is another video...it seems that it's a huge drama right now.I'm from england so i dont know what is Bricks and Minifigs and why it's stealing other people lego lolhttps://youtu.be/Roo6qpvTdwo
>>11800780>Lego has been woke for yearsRight wingers don't have money anon.By being woke Lego can appeal by both - regular people and minorities and also left wingers.
>>11800796"It sounds like a threat, and I...[fumbles wording] ...can acknowledge you feeling that, because in a way, it is."LOLwhere is "cancel culture" when you need it? how is Bricks and Minifgs still around with this kind of media story? they should be publicly-shamed into full apology mode by now, this is insane
>>11800815What you're seeing are straight up psychopaths.They don't operate like that.
I don't really care how many female employees Blizzard raped or how much breast milk they stole from locked fridges because Overwatch sets were kino, especially D.va mech and she is one of the best minifigs ever made>"um, sweetycakes, she's le fleshy"Yes, yes she is. Since Blizzard is engoodened enough to be in fortnite i hope we get that cancelled wave 2 and Mei minifig.
>>11800816>>11800796I figured out a "new step" for the Legal-Battle-Dance-Nightmarethis is a total opportunity for someone else to literally steal their business away from them.somebody else CAN create an exact copy of the store (buying/selling trade-in Lego sets) and open locations right next door to existing BaM stores.the reason people are still going and supporting the BaM stores, is because they want to still be able to buy Minifigs for less than the full set, or buy an old set, things like that. if they had another option, right the-freak next door, they would stop going to "evil bully" BaM. it could be an instant success for the new guy, and instant out-of-business for BaM (like they deserve)
>>11800793exactly my point!How this person's design language gets adapted to more themes!
>>11800838*Hope
>>11800613I think I had this. Or the Chech version. Got it for christmas during the 80's in Hungary. I hated it. Couldn't build anything from it, the screws randomly got stuck and I had way better construction toys, like lego sets than this one. I kept it in the box and rarely even touched it. Don't know what happened to it, my parents probably threw it out.
>>11800613I'm from post soviet hellhole and i had an exact same metal CONSTRUCTOR as they were called.I wanted to build that plane so much but the box had some pieces stolen/lost so i couldn't...Thanfully later in the late 90s i was starting to get into lego and metal CONSTRUCTORS were forgotten forever.I think this thing is one of reasons why i hate Lego Technic - all those bars with holes and "realistic models"
>>11800676I'm 100% with you on the tusken raider, but c3po looks great with his own distinct head.
I thought old star wars minifigs were crazy lmao.
>>11800711Never heard of Meccano before, but I'm glad it wasn't just an Eastern Euro thing.>>11800870>>11800878Yeah, the screws were awful. I couldn't build anything from it either.To be fair, I approached it with the Lego mindset of trying to build whatever I wanted. I probably would've enjoyed it way more if someone explained to me that I'm supposed to make the plane on the box and not freestyle it with the limited number of parts.In the end all the screws and some of the bars ended up being used in various maintenance jobs around the house, which they were woefully unfit for. But it's not like there was much choice in the dreadful 90's.>I wanted to build that plane so much but the box had some pieces stolen/lost so i couldn't...Damn, that must've been painful.I do like the general idea behind these sets though, as they do promote genuine engineering skills and can have a huge influence on a child's development & IQ. However all is wasted without proper parental guidance.KiwiCo is like a lamer version of these constructor sets, but at least they seems to understand the importance of parental involvement.
>>11800778Kek, why aren't the figs yellow? How long until they just do fleshies for all sets
>>11800925>why aren't the figs yellow?Dapper Dans are "real people" and require fleshies>>11800925>How long until they just do fleshies for all setsthe moment they start doing fleshies for all sets is the moment they reveal yellow was "white guy" and appear to have been historically racist the whole time (not actually, but that's how it will appear to go down)Lego CAN never switch to fleshies (even though they kinda should at this point lol)I am not brown-skinned so I cannot say from my own personal experience if this yellow figure feels like it represents me as a brown-skinned person
>>11800616I have some sets from like 2015 that barely increased in price. I bought them at deep clearance from Walmart and left them under my bed. Over time I only ended up selling a few of them. If anything the huge sets never sold but the little ones did.
>>11800676Molded 3PO = kinoClassic Tusken = kinoBaby Sneed = both look goodAlso sometimes you just NEED molded heads. Simpsons and Looney Toons being just classic heads with prints would look awful. Plus at least you know they're laying to mold them. A simple print on a cylinder is just lazy as fuck in some cases.
>>11800951Stylised is still better than hyperrealistic usually
>>11800568Pretty sure Lego company themselves said Lego is for everyone regardless of age or anything else. Everyone. You dont get to manifest your headcanon into reality, sorry sweaty.
>>11800778I was at Qdoba yesterday and when I walked in there was a family and like a 25 year old woman in the wheelchair with short dark bob cut and I gotta say fellas, she was probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life. Like it looked like she actually took care of her body instead of just giving up.Also yeah, you can't expect white people in Lego sets like we these anymore + Disneyland is in California and it's mostly Mexicans and Chinese tourists.
>>11800793I think is this is because that is not Woody, it's a guy dressed up like Woody to go along with the parade. I really like this set and the RC car build and little army men. I also like how the Buzz display box also can be detached and becomes a spaceship. I would have loved this as a kid.
>>11800939>yellow basketabll player is black-codedNah, that's just the bizarre artstyle they were going for. figures for white NBA people have the same mishapen lips and eyes
>>11800823Overwatch was never good, Blizzard has never made a single original game in their lives. Overwatch Rule 34 is kino.
>>11800895Why is it so expensive? Also ironically I just bought a tshirt with black suit Spidey yesterday at Kohls for $12 (XL because I'm American, fat, and like my graphic tees extra large for wearing around the house comfy style). Didn't they already release a symbiote Spiderman?
>>11800939I am brown. As a kid I always thought Lego Yellow was universal. It was just a way to trademark Lego's figures while GI Joe and HeMan was peach pink or milk chocolate brown characters. I remember getting the Islander set and the Aztec set. Both are brown people, but as yellow figs it looked "right" because Lego people = always yellow. The basketball characters, even as a kid, looked really ugly and almost racist. They don't even have real basketball teams so there was no reason to even try to charicature the likeness of real players. I would have been 100% fine with a yellow Lando Calrissian because I never once thought of Lando as a negroid. African-American Black people don't exist in star wars. Maybe someone has a different colored skin (green, red, pink, fuzzy, scaly) but there are no black people with afros and talking like Atlanta blacks until the Disney sequels. It's like the sequels also having "obviously" Korean characters because they need to push obviously Asian characters with Asian haircuts. You don't even feel like they are alien space people anymore, just feels like obvious woke casting, especially when the actors are genuinely not good looking.
How do you play with this? It seems like a real gameboy would be more fun
>>11800964here is your (you), petty faggot
>>11800951>A simple print on a cylinder is just lazy as fuck in some cases.It's always lazy as fuck.there is nothing better than seeing lego making cool new molds for unique characters. That anon just being autistic like many in this retarded thread.>>11800793they did it because the old one just looked awful - just like when they updated the old Harry Potter goblin heads.thankfully they not abandoning it completely
>>11800986I'm right. Name a single original title from Blizzard.Diablo? Not developed by them. They simply bought the company who made it. And even then it was just a Gauntlet inspired game.Warcraft? Literally plagiarized designes from Warhammer. Gameplay is basically Herzog Zwei/Dune.StarCraft? Plagiarized Warhammer 40k.World of Warcraft? You can thank Ultima/EverQuest Online.Overwatch? Obviously Blizzard wishing they had something successful like Team Fortress 2, worst of all is the Overwatch characters being absolutely generic mash ups of popular tropes. Like Genji obviously being Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2.Blizzsloppers just live in a bubble where they think their trash is somehow the best. It's odd.Also MUCH sex with Mercy and obese Mei.
when's the padme cmf series 1 (and 2)?
I haven’t played a blizzard game since Diablo II.
why is bricklink like this

>>11801000Lego could (and should be) put a new Padme outfit in each and every set they can. muh-value-increase. it would absolutely SELL sets! and would be crazy easy for Lego to doCMF would be insane as each one of these outfits could sell in a $X00 set

>>11800815Enter the Redditor. r/antiwork, anti capitalist, etc etc etc it's all silenced and shut down because my favorite toy company pays everyone under the table to keep things this way. This guy may have had this property stolen, but hey we don't know the full story am I right...

>Leia with shortsOk, so are the new legs dual molded? Cus if they're not I can just erase the side print right? Or should I just order the legs of an old Leia?
>>11801299that awful smug smirk every woman gets now is worse than the shortsthe minifig schizo is right
>>11800980I want to make this guy
Apparently a DnD theme is coming in 2027! And it might be smart play, Mario too! Now, the guy said DnD and Mario, dunno if they are smart play or not but it is a possibility. There were also leaks of smart play minifigs for minecraft movie 2 sets and pokemon smart play minifigs...
>>11801299>mogged by a minifig from TWENTY YEARS AGOAbsolute fucking state of tlg.Don't get the pants, get the entire minifig.
>>11801377I hate to ruin that, but the "survey for D&D" already happenedremember? the big castle dragon thing for $360 that only included 5 Minifigs?
>The LEGO city room is being emptied completely to make room for a better live streaming space. The goal is to upgrade the viewer experience from something I'm satisfied with to something I'm finally proud of. This will include a significantly smaller, but wildly better diorama-style installation with the working custom LEGO trains & such. It will also provide a dedicated area for plastic model building so I can waste less time on cleanup & conversion between streams, and I'll no longer need to go to a different part of the house to grab paints or use an airbrush.it's true, Jang is taking down his city...
>>11800965>comic con exclusive
>>11801377>absolute dogshit instead of literally just doing a second cmf and giving us a kobold and another dragon headLet me guess, a woman was behind such a moronic decision
>>11801384By survey for dnd they mean a dnd theme, there are rumours circulating we get a whole dnd theme in 2027 after the succcess of the cmf+dragon set
>>11800823toptier anime face. Visually appealing. simplistic in a lego way>>11801117dogshit early 2000s anime face from american cartoon or cheap japanese cartoon that was made to advertise stupid shit like Beyblade or other kids gimmicky toysI remember them having such obnoxious "ANIMEEEAA :D" faces.it's so fucking ugly holy shit
$180
$200
>>11801461It being gray makes it look so depressing like it's misssing video game texture. Of all the sets they decided to commit to screen accuracy it had to be the one that could have used more colour.
Bring back: LIGHTS & SOUNDS
>>11801460>speeder AND the INT-4Holy shit, Star Wars sets are allowed to have play fratures again?

>>11801377oh my fucking god, they're gonna inflate the price of and kill a theme that would otherwise work without the shart bricks. they're insuring a theme that sells itself is DOA

>>11801470not a smart play just simple stuffI'm actually digging current smartplay. i didnt like it because it was Star Wars. but with Pokemon having different sounds and effects im super excited actually.

>>11801528I scanned over 60 packs of cmf when that subtheme was going, never found once a paladin. Why?
reminder Red Dragon's Tale set is scheduled to retire on July 31, 2026
>>11801535Huh, a DnD theme actually makes lots of sense now that this retires. Rivendell also retires this december.But if they lock DnD under smart play we are cooked, I always wanted DnD PLAYsets not SMART PLAYsets!!!
>>11801481>they're insuring a theme that sells itself is DOAWhy are they doing this? They did it with Pokemon too
>>11801377>other themes like dnd and super marioHe didn't say those were smart play too, maybe they are normal? I would fucking cry if our first ever Mario minifig is a smart play one...
>$115Should I go ahead and buy it or wait for it to go even more down? Will it go down more than this? Official price is $140
>>11801544it would had been a good One Piece set if not for the Luffy being horribly inaccurate from the anime.
>>11801544in central europe it's currently €90-95 without sale, you could probably squeeze out a couple dollars by waiting
>>11801544Why is Nami so angry?
>>11801531he's rare man, I only ever found 3 of him the whole time the wave was going>>11801537can't admit that they fucked up by trying to force weird electronic shit that wont sell into sets that are good otherwise
Any June release you're getting day 1?
>>11801570holy shit this is the first time i like a nature set.It looks like DnD "magical forest background" playset.you can just put some ruins here or elves and it would look coolI will buy your set now
>>11801572sorry, there's no places to put minifigs, this is a serious adult decoration product and not a playset
>>11801572yeah it's also the only release that interests me this batchkeep in mind it's not a set you can display 360° the back looks pretty shithttps://youtu.be/DUR12d57s9o&t=83
>>11801475I’m so fucked, I had like $4k bound up in that figure
>>11801460Is that a flying AT-ST head? I assume that was in the movie, but it looks stupid
>>11801583>oh no my exclusive Glub Shitto!
>>11801600Lego can’t do this to me. This is Rex all over again. They’re going to completely clear out my kid’s college fund at this rate. Fucking ridiculous
>>11801594Don't you get the obscure reference? It was an old Kenner toy which was also in expanded universe lore. It's a reference only seasoned geeks like me would know. Isn't it so cool they put it in the movie? I cheered and clapped when I saw it on screen just to let everyone know how much of a frickin' Star Wars geek I am. It's there for the fans which is so wholesome. Dave Filoni has saved Star Wars.Game on.
>>11801544I'd waitthe Walmart near me had the Shanks set in the clearance section for $25 (which is like, the start of clearance) and plenty of the other sets still on the shelves (not clearance yet)I'm excited it looks like it's about time for the One Piece sets to hit clearance. this is the time when you gamble on waiting for lower prices vs showing up to see them all GONE.I usually bite when they get around half-price sometimes Walmart goes just above that (in that ship's case, I'm guessing $80 or $85) and at that point I'd rather pay a little more than the 1/2-price-insta-get, than miss out all together.
Official reveal$180, August 1st
>>11801299Yeah. Pretty fcuked up that they wont do dual mold on minifigs that actually need it but will for slave leia.
>>11801652
$200August 1st releaseI wonder if Lego will do more Mango and Blinko sets after the movie bombed
>>11801658
>>11801299>>11801363>>11801653Them removing the cleavage looks so bad. There are minifigs that really need it like this and the rouge the bat figure which looks terrible. But if you complain about it you get called a "gooner" and dogpiled, its retarded, this weird fake purity culture normies have started needs to die
>>11801658>>11801660>lego made a set based on the scene in which Mando takes the life of a innocent mudhorn child for the sake of his shipToo much for legoMando should've killed the Jawas, total Jawa death
>>11801652>>11801655"Imperial Remnant Warlord"ouch.that dude had a name, Commander Barrothey also had playing cards with bag guy targets (like real-world Desert Storm yikes) did Lego think to do a (random heh) One Piece-esque card tile?
>>11801377>Apparently a DnD theme is coming in 2027! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOAnd it might be smart play,nevermind...
>>11801460>>11801461WHERE.IS.MY.BOUNTY.HUNTER.PURSUIT.2.0WITH.NEW.ZAM WESSEL.ANDDEXTER?!!?!?AAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWHY AM I BEING TORTURED WITH MANDO SLOP? NO, I DON'T WANT A RECOLOR OF THE SANDCRAWLER. NO, I DON'T WANT ANOTHER AT-AT
>>11801461Mudhorn looks cute
>>11801460Who are the 2x troopers next to the snow trooper?
>>11801661If I really want a specific minfig ill usually just buy alt bricks now. Unless its classic yellow since alt brands dont make that. But I dont really consider fleshies to be real lego and the printing on alt brands is usually better, although plastic quality can vary.
>>11801538Smart Play isn’t surviving into 2027 so you shouldn’t worry about it.
>>11801658>>11801660>said this set looked like shit back when it leaked>”it’s just a prototype it’ll look better”>still looks like shitdon’t care about accuracy it’s just an ugly gray mass
>>11801377>D&D>electronic brickthat doesn't match at allthose D&D sets should come with DICE. PAPER. PENCILS.
>>11801720These look pretty stupid. You may as well just buy actual figures from companies that make anime coomer girls instead of squat little SD chibi Lego-esque minifigs.And I'm totally fine with feminine torsos, and hate that Lego seems to push way more for unisex torsos, but this just looks too goofy to me.
>>11801660If it weren't for Mando and Gogurt this would be a nice "what-if" styled set piece, like the Sandspeeder set, wish Lego did more stuff like that
>>11801660>>11801658>>11801655>>11801652this shit looks like liquid feces aids
>>11801759Getting hungry are we?
>>11800778>at least 7 white minifigs in that picture and anon still thinks the toys are genociding him
>>11801692I doubt itsmart play is for kids and no kid gives a shit about DnD
>>11801660RFLOL , Grogu is going after the food ! thats my Grogu!
China is so based it’s unreal, and moon viewing is one of the coziest East Asian traditions.
did legos ditch the new road system?
>>11801841I only want it because it looks like it would be a pretty easy conversion into a medieval peasant house MOC.
>>11801849That’s the gayest thing I ever heard. It’s already a medieval house
>>11801848the newer roads are actually customizable, break less often and can be built INTO sets not just UNDER them, its understandable why they did it but they lack sovl
>>11801852Not the cool, European medieval.
>>11801720Lmao these minifigures are fucking ugly as fuck.you have to be a loq iq turd worlder coomer to own something as unpleasant as this...

Minifig series 29 is the worst they've done to date.>inb4 tuba redcoatWent through a ton of them at the lego store today and only found one tuba guy, most of the packs were the witch girl, goalkeeper and steampunk cringe.
>>11801989>Bionicle, Witch Girl, Elf Queen, others maybeUhh yeah, I’m thinking it’s based
>>11802009>trash monster
>>11802014>robot dino, ninja (if you’re into that)But the inclusion of not-Tahu alone makes this an all-time CMF line
He looked down into her brown eyesAnd said "Say a prayer for me"She threw her arms around himWhispered "God will keep us free"They could hear the riders comingHe said "This is my last fightIf they take me back to TexasThey won't take me back alive"
>>11801989>>11802009>>11802014>>11802019What was the last cmf with this density of quality inclusions? I guess the dedicated space line or DnD, but ignoring the themes series, what would you say, like series 22?
>>11802025feel like pure shit just want him back
>>11801460>>11801461Hey friend you have to block their watermark with a circleThey angle it differently depending on who they release it to so they may still identify you
>>11802025>söy in the back, kino in the front
>>11800558we don't 'play' with Lego
>>11802047He did classic sets on Wednesdays.He called it "old school Wednesdays"
>>11802025for me its the house tours where he opens the kitchen cabinets and its full of lego
New set
>>11802066*farts on your new set*
>>11802066at a glance I thought that was a lego snorlax
>>11802066What the fuck is Lego Minecraft dungeons 2?
>>11802039#whiteboymexicansummer
found at the thrift store, all minifigs are there, only a few pieces are missing
and here are some pics from the catalog figured you liked to see these
>>11802090>>11802091>found at the thrift storeYou lie like a rug.
>>11802091Lego peaked 1989-1991
Tie is alive, he just doesn't want his 'tism and passion for Lego to scare away potential girlfriends
>>11802101“Alive”? I think you mean: in a well in some Mexican desert with his face burnt off by acid.
>>11802113thats the risk you take when trying sex tourism south of the border
>>11802093no lies fren
God damn it, just release a Minifigure wave and I’ll make my own damn houses.
>>11802119I’m 3 hours from Chicago I’ll meet you halfway and give you $50 for it?
>>11802119If that’s legit it’s a grail find if I’ve ever seen one. Seriously we can meet in like Morris? I’ll get you a 4lb cheeseburger.
>>11802136>>11802139sorry im not selling im gonna play with it
>>11801989I like the cat witch. I made her a little cottage.
>>11802132I agreea CMF wave would give them "the budget" to mold 12 new animal heads and they can then re-color those for future sets
>>11802144Probably a good call I was just going to rob you. >play with it Based. Post results.
Received an email from the Lego stores in my country. It's 50% off and the third time I received an email about this set having a discount. Is the set not selling well? I can't see any other reason to have 3 discounts in the short amount of time since this released.It's a real store associated with Lego.
>Sauron helmet ALREADY on deep discountohnononono
>>11802101He disappears in Mexico for three years and he is a Sicario now
Venom bros... we won!
>>11801652>>11801655>front cockpit window is a stickerThe absolute state.
>>11802295These minifigs would have been so cool.during the peak of Lego stop motion on YouTube. RIP Darth Milo
>>11802295Dogshit like all your posts
>>11801544Whats this overengineered shit?
>>11801652I haven't seen that new Baby Yeed minifig. It looks pretty good.
>>11800778Why are all.the parents single with mixed kids? Lmao. The lone Disney adult is also funny as fuck. This set feels like a jab at Dismey World guests if anything.
>>11801841It's cool they went with the real skin colors for this one.
>>11801742Yeah its weird but i actually feel hornier looking at minifigs than anime figurines. Maybe i've spent too long self inserting as my sigfig or something. I see them as more human. In fact in my mind they are more human and fleshed out than most of the people i know IRL. >>11801878Nah this is first world incel shit. Third worlders have goats.
Maybe we need a dedicated Ninjago thread... Eh, whatever.So, I've been constantly thinking, back in LEGO Dimensions, we had a non-toy NRG Lloyd in his green outfit. But what if one would imagine a true NRG Lloyd in his gold outfit? Imagine him with an energy dragon in his obi, probably in green to contrast the nice gold colors he would have on the rest of the minifigure. We aren't too sure if he gets to use his oni mask again as an alternate headgear option, but it's still an interesting concept.
>>11802484We definitely need as many Lego splinter threads as possible. exo force, rock raiders, arctic, etc
>>11801460Baby Sneed is just standing there... menacingly
>>11801841Ni hao, Hasan.
>>11802556Nigga, Hasan doesn’t know anything about China, he just larps as a Maoist for social cred (in $1900 Zegna slacks no less)
>>11801460>>11801461Why did they decide to put a huge veiny cock on the box art?
>>11802295I wish Lego would get rid of the stud on top when they're based off a baldy.
Hey guys, I just busted out my 10 year old bricks I had stashed in my living extra room for a MOC but they creak a lot when I work with them. Is this normal for old bricks?
>>11802436Weird how third worlders don’t film themselves much with goats when they’ve been banging for so long
>>11801720This is the stupidest shit.
>>11801377>smart play dndWhat the fuck why
Is there such a thing as over designing? This is prototype 3 for my Glup Shitto star Destroyer. The weight is more towards the back but there are little notches on the bottom of the ship that look like they were made for a custom stand.>>11801399Yeah but I mean what's exclusive about it? Literally looks like a generic venom torso.>>11801460I already have the one form a few years ago with better actual Snowtroopers.>>11801461>Mando sandcrawler We lost.
new slugkino uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkdx9n9b6lc
>>11802624Looks more like what I dig up while going out>>11802630Advertising is against the rules.
>>11802624I made it tall enough for a minifig to go under it and repair the Star Destroyer.>It wouldn't be to scale if he's repairing it!!Shut up. So far I checked the weight balance and it's pretty good. It does not tilt or fall off in any direction unless you purposefully put weight on it. Prototype 4 is probably going to be the last one and then I'll order some pieces from Lego. I dunno if I should do it all black or give it some yellow or trans red/blue/yellow parts.>>11801661I'm ok with the cleavage gone since princess Leia isn't that busty, but no thigh action? Fuck off. I get that Disney Star Wars is for kids but it's not for babies, c'mon.>>11801658Probably not but there will be an uptick in sales when it hits Shitney+>>11801570Genuinely one of the few good looking botanicals.>>11802025So did he die?
>>11802634Yeah, I'm just getting the shape and weight right. I have the Lego studio designer but I need to see and feel it physically because the software doesn't let you know which parts are weak or under stress.
OW2 sets confirmed!It's freaking happening!
>>11802673What about naruto skins? do they have those in Lego fortnite?
>>11802624Do you know what the word exclusive means?
>to get my favorite version of the winter soldier I need to buy an exclusive minifig from a 400-buck set and a head piece from a 10-year-old minifigWish lego would just ship extra minifig heads in cases like these but it is what it is.
>>11802716I'll be dead honest.Seeing them next to each other like that I actually prefer the original less-detailed one because it feels more lego/classic lego. The only thing it really could use is that printed arm though.
This is gonna be peak
>>11802730Is it classic or Z? I'd be surprised if its classic and not Z because Z is known by everyone.
Since on Monday we are in June, should we expect august and fall reveals? Or in july? Are there any sets that could be a surprise? I feel like we know now about everything coming out
>>11802075It's lego sets for Minecraft Dungeons 2? What so hard to understand about that?
>>11802158>future setsAs much as I want that to happen, I think that terrible Tommy and Timmy set is the last.
>>11802730>soon>>11799619That brick clicker fag with his queer lispy accent definitely lurks here btw.
>>11802755huh?
>>11802777Yeah, I’ve long suspected the spammer is probably also a jootuber. The format of the posts and the constant “leaked” text images reek of YouTube slop. Thanks for the confirmation.
>>11802781Do you have autism?
>>11802782>Do you have autism?Where do you think we are?
>>11802686All you have to say is "No, they never made a black symbiote Spider-Man besides this."And I would say "lol, that sucks. At least you can just take a Venom or Spider-Woman and erase the mouth for the black head."
>>11802781oh nice is this your next schizoid theory you will spam the threads with?
>>11802790Not a schizo theory. Brickclicker used an image I posted here in a video like an hour later. Also, I’m not your boyfriend. Not everyone who criticizes the “leaks” and spam is the guy posting “pedo” every five seconds.>huh?Cool moc bro!Extra kino!Based kits!
>>11802786And all you had to do was stop posting because you knew the definition of the word and what he meant originally, yet you kept the post chain going for absolutely zero reason.
>>11802745What the fuck is Minecraft dungeons and how does it have a sequel?
>>11802794>Not everyone who criticizes the “leaks” and spam is the guy posting “pedo” every five seconds.Yes they are
so im planning on consooming minas tirith on 2 of june, will gwp last to second day?I cant buy it on 1st
>>11802814>will gwp last to second day?lol no. the real question is will it last to second hour
Is 280 pieces too much for a custom stand?>>11802803And then I would say "you know what? Maybe just use a Miles head. Nobody wants Miles. Just tape up the eyes and and erase the webs."And then you would say "le exclusive comic con le figure."And I would say "yeah exclusive figures are pretty gay and never worth it. Marvel is going to do Secret Wars soon so expect a symbiote Spiderman when the movie comes out."And you would say "wahh wahhh leee exclusive outdated print!!!"And I would finally reply with "not my problem."
>>11802817I mean I live in eastern eu, I dont think my countrymen are that onions and rich to buy it out so quicklyI would not ask that question if I was american
I thought people were just memeing when they said lego still does chrome just not for star wars kek.
>>11802393Gotta arbitrarily raise that piece count or people won't feel justified spending 140 dollars on a single set
>>11802814>can’t buy on the first dayWhy?
>>11802827>increase the piece count to match the priceHow sinister!
>the memes are trueHoly shitF#male lego fans were a mistake
>>11802834She is so beautiful... I literally cried
>>11802825Damn wtf I hate Lego now.>>11802834>Big fog guy>Gashapon machine>Big boat>Toy story AlienShe cute and based.
>>11802794>huh?>Cool moc bro!>Extra kino!>Based kits!Those were going to be my next four posts and now you’ve stolen my thunder
>>11802833Um yeah? When you are shoving in a bunch of pieces that could have been replaced by with larger cheaper components just to mask how overpriced your set is then yeah it's fucking sinister. What's worse are retards like you defending this shit like it isn't shady corporate shir to make even greate profits at the expense of the consumer.
>>11802830well i dont have the money, on 2 i do lmao
Speaking of Ninjago, if Nexo Knights might have been affected by the Merge like Chima was (since NK was one of the Sixteen Realms if Chima was also connected to Ninjago, on top of the former's cameo in NK), I have been thinking that Merlok and either of the Cadet Knights might have been Elemental Masters of Technology before Sora was. Trying to put two and two together just because.And I want to ask, which are the definitive mechs for each of the main five Knights across all five waves of the theme? Here are my pics, you might have to change them depending on you anons' tastes.>Clay's Rumble Blade>Aaron's X-Bow>Axl's Rolling Arsenal>Macy's Thunder Mace>Lance's Twin Jouster
>>11800796those people are NOT the owners of the "stolen legos" those demon looking people owned a store that buys and sells legos. those people took someone's legos to sell. they then lost the store and went to Spain or something.BAM took the legos and apparently, allegedly never paid for the 200k worth of legos the Lego owner is a regular guy his dad owned the legos his dad is old and sick. the store flat out took an old man's Lego collection and never paid
>>11802794it is a schizo theory thoughbeit
>>11802847>pay lego $140>get $140 worth of lego bricksThey can’t keep getting away with it!!!
>>11802870>t. Brickclicker
>>11802849You should not buy Minas Tirith
>>11802860Not gonna justify BAM's actions. Still fucking evil no matter how you slice it. But I find it hard to have too much Empathy for the people who worked with them for a majority of reasons. They originally made the deal with BAM to help pay for the kid's college tuition and I'm sorry but what the fuck were they thinking spending 30 grand in Lego in the first place? That money could have went into a College Prepaid plan or a Roth IRA that would accrue just as much interest as the damn legos. Also in this day and age where Bricklink exists why the hell would you deal with a brick and mortar store? Especially when you are cutting significantly into your profit margin by doing so in the first place? I get they got fucked, I get they didn't deserve this, but hot damn how did they no know better? Seems like these people were bad with money long before this incident.
>>11802875Why are you ignoring the fact that the set doesn't need to contain 140 dollars worth of legos?Have you also considered that 140 dollars worth of legos may be grossly overpriced in the first place?Why are you being such a fucking shill?
>>11802880It would obviously take a lot of time and effort to sell the sets individually, but how much do you suppose they’d lose in commission?Though I’ve heard bricks and minifigs has substantial markup, so maybe that somewhat offsets the consignment losses.But yeah, god knows what these people were thinking. Maybe the guy just had an autistic sealed lego collection and it gradually turned into a sort of investment?
>>11802881>the set doesn't need to contain 140 dollars worth of legosThis claim isn’t self evident to me since I like sets with small fiddly details :^)
>>11802880BAM are acting like corrupt assholes,but I would never hand over my 200k collection of legos to someone without cash up front. what if someone broke into the store, what if God forbid there was a fire....it's just too scary. the lady store owner and her demon looking husband made the deal and technically they are responsible too.BAM is technically stealing those legos. but the responsible party for paying the guy was the store lady.she took his 200k legos and then decided to close her shop and move to Spain? ( I know that BAM removed her from the store by force)but it was her responsibility to return the legos before contacting BAM
>>11802886This whole thing is really shot through with serious Mormon behaviour. Incidentally, I think the $200k figure is inflated. Others have guessed the collection was more like $75k
>>11802885Bud the set in question has a bunch of 3 by 2 slopes that could be replace with 3 by 4 or 3 by 6 slopes...
>>11802890I just cannot believe that some people are siding with BAM. I guess everything has fanboys now. even stores
>>11802880There's risk with every type of investment. Its been said a million times at this point, but people bought beanie babies back in the 90s, because all they were doing at the time was going to the moon value-wise. People buy pokemon cards for investment. People dumped money into NFTs, and meme crypto coins and did way worse on that stuff.Most people who do that stuff aren't real investors, they just see shit jumped suddenly and want to buy in, not realizing that there are all sorts of potential downsides. Hell, even pretty reliable methods of investment like the stock market can--and have--crashed at points. Its dumb to rely on Lego sets for some huge return but even if you wanted to most people know to put there money into several different things than to go all-in on ONE investment.>>11802886>I would never hand over my 200k collection of legos to someone without cash up front.But that is what consignment is. You only get the money after it sells. They probably just put too much misplaced trust into B&M. There probably would have been way better ways to sell the stuff even if they didn't through eBay or Bricklink, or some sort of second-hand resell website. I'm sure there are auction houses, both physical and online avenues they likely could have been though. Could have possibly even gotten more money, considering who knows what B&M's cut would have been after the sets sold.
>>11802897Don’t know anything about the set since I’m not a Brownpiece fan. I was only addressing the image of the ship’s figurehead.
Does it really take a month to get Pick a Brick pieces? I just ordered a ton of classic smiley heads and pirates stuff.
>>11802933I could probably build something similar with half the parts.
>>11802897I've seen some sets where you ask you to put together three 1x2 pieces multiple times and I'm like... Dude just use a regular 1x2?Also I'm gonna say it, but Lego Groups' faggy "we love the environment" thing is actually really stupid when you realize that they actually generate trash with every set. Not talking about the packaging, or bags, or manuals, but the fact that every set has left over 1x1 elements. I've filled a small bag with tons of those pieces. They are essentially trash because they are not usable in a normal "big brick" way. Same for the orange brick tool. How many do you have now? Don't they somehow feel like extra trash? Essentially pieces that cannot be used for playing or MOCs on a normal way. Yeah, having a few is nice for building but 30? 40 of them? Lego generates a ton of trash this way. Yes, I am autistic.
After a whole month of waiting for the final order, I'm pleased to finally have the finished diorama in front of me. The new additions are the two container transports on the left which the imperials are escorting. I also added primitive little brick built asteroids (using gold of all colours) to represent they are in a passage of space too dense for an ISD.
>>11802964Good for you anon, hope you're happy with the result.
>>11802928BAM keeps defending itself in that they don't do consignment. they say is not part of their business. that's their stance, but the one that fucked everything is that lady store owner by not calling the guy to collect all his lego.she took his Lego collection knowing she was gonna move soon.
>>11802939a month if you're luckyI had totally forgot I did it once, it was like 3 months. when it arrived I was like "oh yeah! I did that a while ago! neat. thanks past-me."that was a couple of years ago, I haven't done it recently (I got pic-related viking babes, among other minifig bits)
