eh
new cringe just dropped
Lowkey pissed at the lack of Sandy/Mr. KrabsAny chance they will turn this into a full theme? Maybe a CMF wave?
There's literally nothing I'm looking forward to
The X-Files set has a Flukeman but no toilet. I hope someone gets fired for that blunder.
>>11860955the one time lego would be justified in indulging their poop fetish
>>11860919>Lowkey pissed at the lack of Sandy/Mr. Krabsthanks for the $200but they had to stop at some pointyou got enough value for your two hundred dollars. the lack of Mr. Krabs and Sandy and Larry the Lobster and what was the Whale girl's name... won't hurt sales enough to justify the cost of producing those elements. they had to stop. it's only two hundred dollars and they are only a small family-owned business please understand
>>11860955That's because the original designer didn't include one because he didn't plan to include a flukeman minifig. Lego can't improve Ideas designs, they can only corrupt and cut corners.
>>11860907what the hell is this faggot?
>>11860982Yelena, I believe.
you can tell all the marvel leaks are fake because the minifigs have printed legs
nuLego has no soul
>>11860919Spongebobs brown shoes will never not trigger my autism
Not what I had in mind when I said I wanted Monster Fighters to come back
>>11860903
>>11860954The only thing i'm looking forward to isBOUNTY HUNTER PURSUIT 2.0but i have to wait until march 2027
>>11861065We love Jang here don't make fun of him
>>11861055just add some other minifigs
>>11860967>They didn't include they monkeySOULLESS
>>11861105>another meme steampunk fig when we literally just got one CMF has gone really downhill, to say nothing of fucking Shrek and Spiderman and shit
>>11861112Some of the Spiderman figures were actually good but the entire wave is dragged down by the Indian/cripple and those few figures which are actually good could have just gone into other sets.
>>11861069lol, gaped mousecuck
>>11860903Finished Starry Night. Was a pretty easy build except for all the different blue hues in the background. Also it's unbalanced as shit with the tree on the left weighting the entire thing down and making it hard to hang.
>>11861133With minifig on a side.
>>11861133>>11861135nobody in their right mind would use this monstrosity as decoration
>>11861143Van Gogh wasn't exactly in his right mind for most of his life, so it evens out I guess?
>>11861143Makes great wall decor. Shame Lego has so few painting sets. I'd buy Goya's Saturn...
>>11860919>black box for fucking SpongeBobwhy are they like this?
>>11860919>>11861190>>black box for fucking SpongeBob>why are they like this?it's so Lego can charge the $X00 for itif it looks like a toy, people will freak out about $X00but now it's a professional-looking "collectible" worthy of $X00sure it might still be SpongeBob, but it's like... not a childish thing, you're okay spending $X00, it's not a toy, can't you tell that by the box design?
Post your childhood-defining Lego set.< mine
>>11861221Not a specific one, but Fright Knights was my thing.
>>11861221call me a zoomer I don't care
>>11860954That's good as my wallet is recovering from Minas Tirith and 2 >$180 orders for 2 sea serpents.
I want Zelda Final Battle but fuck I've never spent that much on legos in my life.
I, Paul Noncet, hate niggers and diversity in Lego kits
>>11861143Imagine the dust.
>>11860903How did they make shrek the worst minifig in his own CMF line?
>>11861055First thing ill do is swap that nappy hair for a nice bouffant
>>11860907That sentinel set has so many minifigs goddamn
Will we ever get a castle theme again?
>>11861446no, the castle theme was absorbed by creator (and occasionally icons)
>>11861221In terms of impact, either this or the Futron Monorail. I remember so badly wanting the monorail and going to a toy store and trying to convince my parents that the obviously add-on track set was actually the main set because I was a child and didn't understand that they weren't the same thing. But really, my favorite color was orange, so an entire series with orange shit was some of the best times I had as a kid.
>>11861446yeah, Bionicle G3 will be about knights
>>11861484King shit, the Deep Freeze Defender is godlike.
>>11861573Are they doing another bonkle?
>>11861221I was a poorfag so it was either this or the castle set with the skeleton that dropped down to scare the knight
>>11861419by basing it on the later disney slop version.
>>11861453i absorb you like cell from lego dragon ball z if you talk about lego castle like that ever again.
>>11861587God, I wish, that new socket mold would do wonders for the theme
>>11861595dragon ball z absorbed monkie kid already
>>11861446No, castle themes are boring history and unlicenced. The only hyped kits are the ones with wacky postmodernism and the logo of my favourite IPs on the box.
>>11861221This cowboy guy was always my main character when I played
>>11861613I can see why, he looks cool as hell, wish we got more sets that were just minifigs with some extra bullshit off to the side
>>11861608Why are you talking like that?
>>11861065he plays with chinese funholes now. does not want to play with legos anymore.
>>11861221Had that one too, but for me it's this one easily.
>>11861221I always thought this set could have been a lot better even for same parts count. Its a bit of ugly mess.
>>11860913>Can't even make The Thing orange even tho he was orange in Fantastic Four (awful movie)>>11860954I'm gonna get the Donkey Kong machine cus I actually like the game.
>>11861201What bugs me the most is the Blacktron Renegade remake having a black box. The Galaxy Explorer remake, which is very similar in size and style, had a box that homaged the original, and the GWP Blacktron Cruiser also had a retro-style box with the grid background, but the Rnegade just used the boring black box. Especially odd since unlike a lot of the adult collector sets it isn't just built as a big dust-collector, but has actual play-features that do make it feel like a somewhat more elaborate take on the old space themes' big ships (it's about the same size as stuff like the Ice Planet Deep-Freeze Defender, though with more pieces).
>>11861221This and the Islanders little set with the king figure.
>>11861613ah the era when small lego boxes (now polybags) actually were amazing. 3 guns, cool cowboy and two useful printed tiles. Now we get slop like this Pokémon polybag.
>>11861484This one for me. I was like 8-9 and my family was going through a split where my Uncle/Godfater and his family was beefing with my Mom and Aunt over some bullshit. My Uncle took me out (in retrospect it felt like a divorced Dad saying goodbye after moving out of town lol) and bought me this set. It was also the last time I saw my Uncle as he moved to Texas and I've never seen him since.
>>11861069Come on anon, we all know it's gonna be shit and overpriced. Stop hyping it up so much.
>>11861727I think my favourite thing about these polybags is that they don't even come with any smart tags cause they cost too much. At least the mario polybags came with barcode tags so they were proper addons to the bigger sets.
>>11861727>>11861613we get better stuff these daysdumb nostalgiafaggot
>>11861727how do we give people Pokemon, without actually giving people Pokemon?this polybag is a virtual slap-in-the-facethat's what I felt like when I saw itlike a bully, teasing you:"you want some Pokemon? Do ya?! HERE!" [takes your face and rubs it in the dirt]"here's your cheap Pokemon set!!!"[laughs, continuing to rub your face in the dirt]
>>11861762Same thing happened with the Mario sets
>>11861737There is not much to fuck up with this set, but i agree it will probably be overpriced. It has been 23(?) years since the first release, so this might be my only chance to get a version of this set before i die. Hopefully it will include the first Dexter, because lego will never make his diner as a set. I will go on rampage if this turns out to be a smart brick set.
>>11861793>this might be my only chance to get a version of this set before i die.you know this is LEGO, right? you can build your own version. Lego has re-done the X-Wing so many times, it's not important anymore to have "the official Lego version" of anythingif you need Lego to "do it for you" you might as well buy a model kit or some other type of collectible for it.you might need a non-yellow Zam Wesell tho. it's been so long, the minifig of Zam Wesell has a yellow face! guaranteed they mess up her new Minifig. every time they re-do a figure these days, they always mess it up. my expectations are rock-bottom-low. it's going to be terrible. which is why I'm not eager to see the new version. at least now I can imagine it will look cool. as soon as I see it, I'll know Lego messed it up.
>>11860954That rumored midi death star may be interesting to me.>>11861069Patience fren. Here's hoping it'll actually top the original though.>>11861129Posted it again award.
I can't wait for this set. Mech bros are eating good.
>>11861201Lego died the minute they started doing black box shitWhat was wrong with Creator Expert rated as 16+?Why did they bow down to insecure söyboys?
>>11861221
I didn't realize that this singer was so popular that she could get her own mini-line of sets.
>>11860903I will get all shrek cmf, wish they did a far far away castle for $200
kill me
>>11861857>Why did they bow down to insecure söyboys?much like a lot of what Lego does, trial and error (?)- put set in black box, 18+ on the label-- sales increase 5-8%--- okay, let's keep doing thatI have a sneaky feeling that they are only doing le-black-box because it simply saves time, money, and effort of creating background art. just make the background black and be done with it. it has nothing to do with the actual presentationthe "18+" is 100% meant to imply it's "okay" for ADULTS to purchase it. a flat-out admittance that this overpriced set is... duh, not really for children, and you don't have to pretend in the least bit that you are buying it for a child when you purchase it, and if other people in society see you carrying it out of the store you can point out the 18+ to deflect ridicule that you just bought a toy for several hundreds dollars
>>118614462029
>>11861909So why do funko pop reddit normalfags have to be so insecure?>>11861857I get the same feeling walking through an aisle of black boxes as I do a graveyard.
>>11861870It's so fucking weird, if you give an artist or band their own line of sets, why not choose one of the 150 that would print money. I had to look up who this literal who is. I'm still convinced someone pushed their plan through at lego, either by their own power and influence or by sucking some dicks.
>>11861870>>11861959>give an artist or band their own line of sets, why not choose...I honestly don't feel bad about thisthere seems to be two options:A - someone is a super mega fan of [THING], and freaking made it happen, with some kind of amazing argument, power, or influence. they work for Lego, like [THING], and [THING] gets sets! for real! for really-real! this is literally the dream we all have. if we worked for Lego, and could make really-real sets for OUR [THING] we totally would. so when somebody else does it... well... good for them.B - Olivia Rodgrigo has the best agent ever, somebody pushed Lego to make not only one, but a whole line of options. my client is the best, worthy of this type of attention. when other people see these, it will cement her as the next best thing, since Lego only does a very select group of important sets. does Taylor Swift have a Lego? no? guess who does? Olivia freaking Rodgrigo, that's who. you have to applaud that kind of tenacity to forced exposure.
I bought some 2nd hand lego a few years ago and turns out there was a hidden gem. Feels good after dealing with rat shit and yellowed parts.
>>11862006so what is the hidden gem supposed to be?
>250 sets specially made for the Dutch Bugatti Owners ClubI know things like the wheels are definitely special one-offs, but what are the chances of one of them having the balls to scan/upload the instructions and parts list?
>>11861909Why do so many hate black boxes and care about box design? I throw the boxes away, I never care about box art, like yeah some its cool but it still goes to trash
>>11862076Presentation is half the productblack boxes feel like they're sucking your soul out when you walk past them

Not Lego but anyone try out the Brick Shop sets by Mattel yet? Actually some pretty fun builds
>lego halo was a jokeNot that I believed it but still... sad
>>11862177Not surprising...whatever Mattel's new brick branding is, they still have the license, because they're doing a new Warthog.
Soon...
>>11862177It's ok. Halo sucks anyway. Our terrible dogshit sci-fi quota is well filled with Søy Wars and now a light sprinkling of Star Trek.
>>118620338549 Tarakava
>>11861221almost impossible for me to decide between the amount of sets my parents bought me. I had so many from the 90s
>>11861759>image is of nostalgiaslop
>>11862242>The Rape
>>11862347That polybag came out a few months ago, dipshit.
>>11862242I guess they all just get that shitty tan frame now
>>11862352That’s an ugly thing to say
>>11862381Statistically we’re probably all rape babies somewhere along the line.Someone in your family tree was a violent rapist and one of your great great grandmothers raised the rape baby.
Are we ready to admit that the Mario theme is actually kino and a much better implementation of what the Pokemon smartbrick sets are trying to do
>>11862381Indeed, should be The Forcey Fun Time
>>11862438are we ready to admit eating solid turds doesn't taste as bad as diarrhea?
>>11862474you nasty stop thinking about shit unprompted
>>11861870Nah. She's just the current astro turfed Disney child actor. Yes, most people don't know she's a child actor from Disney slop. Also if you look at the credits to any of her "music" it's actually a guy writing everything.
>>11862438Shut up retard
>>11861870who
>>11862060Looks like the wheels are 3D printer parts.>>11862106>NiggerStation 5>SpicBox 360Cute cars.>>11862438Brick Built Characters = hit or miss but the donkey Kong ones are great. Smart Mario = dogshit.
>>11862618Smart Mario is a fun toy though, there is actually an impressive amount of play features and the little LCD eyes really help make it appealing to kids. If you consider it basically an entirely different product line than standard lego I think it's really cool for what it is, but Lego purists (barely functioning autistic people) prolapse their assholes just thinking about it
>>11862234This is literally due to arrive for me this Friday. I'm very excited, never owned it before. Here, have a black knight moc I just made.
So what's next?
>>11862675Bird of Prey
>>11862257Love some Rahi, wish we got more>>11862316Do people count this as a space theme? I always have>>11862438I don't understand how grown men can enjoy Mario. Being an adult fan of Sonic seems less embarrassing
>>11861221I distinctly remember having this as a child. My mother stored the completed set on top of a file cabinet in the basement. When I finished building the set, I put the skeleton in the suspended net and I used to have her come downstairs into the basement and take the set down so I could take the skeleton out of the net and play with it.
>>11861484I never had any ice planet sets and I feel robbed.
>>11861613That's not a cowboy that's a bandit

>>11862741From brickpedia
>>11862749References to Aquazone being on Earth?
>>11862768Yeah, you're right. When somebody says "the moon", I'm sure they are referring to one of Jupiter's moons and not the moon.
>>11862774So there are none, gotcha.
>>11862780Ok
>>11861835they should combineor fuck
think we'll get the other two?

>>11862708>I don't understand how grown men can enjoy Mario. Being an adult fan of Sonic seems less embarrassingThe lack of self awareness required to say things like this in the LEGO thread
>>11862790Autism is a hell of a drug
>>11861446The castle situation pisses me off so bad. Same with pirates. Lego knows there's a huge amount of demand and without new sets all that money ends up chasing old product on the secondary market. It also causes people to flood the bricklink designer program with their dogshit designs to try to get a piece of the action. I'm sorry but BDP isn't the same as a real set. And neither is buying 100 torsos on PAB. It's just not the same.
I wish I had a picture of what this tree stump looks like without the goofy pikachu tree house on top of it
>>11862708Aquazone feels like a "spiritual successor" to space themes. It features very similar design language and the rotating faction-based subthemes that are supposed to share a setting is similar to what space was doing from late 80s to late 90s. It's just set under water instead of in space. Also, Aquazone is almost certainly based on the canceled Seatron space subtheme, which was supposed to take place on an ocean-planet.
>>11862790Sonic autists are this way for some reason.
>>11861221>Post your childhood-defining Lego set.Picrelated was my 90s top tier lego set.- post-soviet hell hole- economy crisis of the 90s- poor family- american/etc. products flooding the market and your head feel dizzy from all that cool and colorful stuff but nobody has money for any of that- you want lego. You want to have castle or something cool but you can't even ask parents because your family is struggling with food even (we even sold our grandparents books to buy stuff like bread or milk)............- Mom gets paid by "tickets that allow you to get stuff from one specific store"- we go to store- we get food- at the very last minute mom says that i can get 1 toy because there is some amount left to tuck that in.I quickly run to lego section and chose this specific set.it's amazingit has a super cool minifigure with shiny sword and a FUCKING DRAGON in it.I was playing with this thing for the rest of the 90s.
>>11862788Seems to be conflicting information. Ultimately, it's a toy. It doesn't really matter.
>>11862842Damn, I wish I could find a copy of that set, just the Batlord on a dragon.
INSANE LEAK!LEGO TO MAKE A DREAMZZZ CROSSOVER WITH HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON AND THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS!https://brickset.com/article/133503/lego-dreamzzz-crossover-coming-soon!Guys I think this deserves a new thread!
>>11862842>>11862903>two figures is a "set"
>>11862919>He says while buying cmf sets
>>11862925>projecting
>>11862919>two figures is a "set"Both literally and grammatically, yes.
>>11862930You're right. You don't own lego to begin with.
>>11862916How to Train Your Dragonis the worst franchise name for a thing, ever.it only works once, then the dragon is trained. I get it, it's got kids and dragons. it's a cool thing but I gotta wonder how much more cultural impact that franchise would have had if it had a better name.
>>11862937Ok
>>11862919According to Bricklink, yeah
>>11861055I'm so mad this will only be a once a year thing. If next year's is something lame like an evil clown circus I'm gonna fucking lose it. >Lovecraftian esoteric cult of dagon building>Little shop of horrors plant store with killer plants>Lovecraftian occult specialist detective agency losing his mind on the caseSomething like this please
>>11861055>>11862990I like going into the art store and checking out all the little light-up buildings each year. this is "duh... obvious" how Lego was doing this type of thing for Xmas and all along they could have been doing Halloween, too.glow-in-the-dark is a cheap substitute for lights or other motor functions. Lego spent a zillion dollars on a Smart Brick and customers simply want light-up sets that move on their own. Lego should spend a zillion dollars to figure that out.
Why are there two threads now?
>>11861221This one. I loved when Lego airports used to come with the runway plates.
>>11863015there's a schizo that gets triggered when someone posts lego leaks on the lego thread
>>11861870>>11861976they obivously wanted a taylor swift line, but only this bitch no-one over 20 has heard of returned their calls. At least the cheerleader fig looks exploitable. >>11862438I won't agree it's kino, but at least kids actually bought the Mario sets. The Pokemon sets are gonna shelf warm just as hard as the star wars smart brick sets.
>>11862842>>11863086you're on the lego thread, post isnt embarrassing in the slightest. I love hearing people sharing their childhood memories
>you are too old to be making embarrassing posts like this on the internet
Lego Ideas book, 1980.This is not a joke.
>>11862786With there already being brian's mk4, no. And Dom's RX7 is more iconic if they decide to do that car. I personally pray they make the eclipse. It seems like the more plausible option overall. It's stands out from the other "iconic" cars
check those Wally Worlds y'all$40I still passed on 'em.I think at this point if you gave me the Smart Brick for free I'd be like "Hmm... no thanks, I'm good."
>>11861793>I will go on rampage if this turns out to be a smart brick set.what if it has smart dexter and he says>heh heh, pocket book
>>11863231are shart bricks the biggest failure in the last decade for lego? even longer?
>>11863283I mean if you don't count VidiyoAnd Hidden SideAnd TrollsAnd Angry BirdsAnd fusionAnd....
>>11861812Gaped again award.
>>11863231every video I've seen of kids playing with these sets, they still made the pew pew noises with their mouths like a normal kid, 70% of the time.This gimmick is intended for little children but they made it a price point where it prices out little children.imagine a cheap beer trying to price itself as a vintage vine. It was always meant to flop because there is just so many better alternatives for that price point.
>>11861221This set hits me right in the nostalgia like nothing else besides maybe Bionicle Atlantis was such a good theme, I wanted this set so bad for Christmas I would fall asleep while staring at the images of it on the Lego website in hopes my parents got the idea that I REALLY wanted it We were too broke for it that Christmas but I remember getting the giant squid attack, piranha attack and a few other smaller sets and being really happy with them. Also the Dino Defense HQ I’m very nostalgic for as well
>>11863339Ah, I also fucking adore Pharos quest.I’d really love to make a Pharos Quest roller coaster moc something similar to the mummy ride at universal studios
>>11862990>something lame like an evil clown circusI would be shocked if it's even that cool. Lego doesn't really come up with imaginative ideas for sets anymore. They're all pretty straightforward and boring concepts. The inaugural set for this line is just a generic vaguely spooky building with standard city figs. I'd imagine the rest of the line will be similar. We'll get stuff like funeral home, abandoned house, etc. with exterior detailing being the main focus.

>>11863231I like the new stubby canopy piece but I'm not sure what to use it for
>>11862354That movie came out 25 years ago, unc.
>>11863340Would love this line to come back, pure soul and a worthy successor to Johnny Thunder
>>11863339I remember finding this same set on a massive discount at toys r us because it had fallen behind the shelves years ago and was forgotten about, think I got it for $20 or something
>>11860907Wow! They are AMAZING!!!
What's a good scale for mini builds?the scale here is the fighter is about the same size as a hondajet elite 2.
here we are, don't know the specific model of the plan I used to set the scale
>>11863539Many years ago Lego did a Star Destroyer in a midi scale where 1 stud was approximately 50m. There used to be a site up where a guy would upload his mini and micro builds from various sci-fi and several were scaled to that ISD (pic related is a Nebulon-B frigate in that scale). Through some tinkering I managed to build a decent MC30c at that scale, pretty good for medium to large capital ships but fighters would be under 1 stud for the most part. Studs are a useful metric for establishing scale, at least for length and width; height gets a bit tricky.
Actually this makes better sense, the fighter is still big enough to use docking ports while the copilot has to sit behind the pilot as I'm basing the premise off of the game starlancer.
I reckon if I where to restart the project I should probably make the torpedoes out of rods rather than cylinders and then ret-con the current torpedoes to an appropriate missile.
>>11863231I thought Lego sent out a bulletin to all the major retailers that they weren't allowed to discount smartbrick sets?
>>11863552but then again here are torpedo bombers from the game I'm basing these MOCs off of

>>11863247>what if it has smart dexter and he says>heh heh, pocket bookI'd actually be pretty impressed since the smart brick sounds like shit and struggles to make authentic sounds.

>>11863674>F1 is a massive failure but they're doubling downF1 is a purchased series ya dope. It was bought and paid for by the saudis to stock gift shops for their new tracks. Completely different license agreement and finances.
>>11863702F1 is a shitty Lego tie in for the F1 movie.
>>11863674>>Everyone agrees the new Marvel slop sets look fucking terribleNo they dont? Marvel fans are happy
>>11862738B-but anon... He's wearing a cowboy hat...
>>11863778Ok
Bump
>>11863674>TV competition show really fucked up the idea that Lego should be a high quality but affordable toy that lets people create things from imagination.I found the reality competition show to be quite an odd thing. Lego Masters was clearly not a show about using Lego bricks, but just an art show. it was mostly about the creative ideas they had, and little to do with the actual bricks. they might as well have been using clay. there are a few challenges that had engineering issues involving the stability or motion functions, but still, it felt like it was clearly judged on the art-ness rather than the Legos
>>11860907>do a cool sentinel build at last>even comes with alternate battle damage parts>throw in six minifigures and give it a collectorslop plaque to inflate the price by 30 bucksincredible that every time they come out with a good idea for a super heroes set these days, they invariably drop the ball
>>11863865Its by far the best Doomsday set, and I think the Mystique, Nightcrawler, and Magneto minifigures look good, but the weird try-hard attempt at it being a playset but still trying to make it a display set is kinda goofy.
>>11863407bro is a real one for making this free when he could make bank from selling the instructions
Ha, shartbricks need a software update to play pokemans.

>>11863858VGH
>>11863865Pay up for the mouseslop little piggy!
>>11863798Yeah, the engineering challenges are the best but it's really a creativity show. I gave up on it when they had that chink nepo kid and SOMEHOW the youtuber chink won.
>>11863858I think I get why old Lego had more soul. Besides :) faces it was obvious that both the bad guys (Bri'ish) and the good guys (Pirates) had the :) faces. It looked more like they were all just pretending and having fun with colorful costumes and builds. Now we have all the licensed fleshie slop with every face looks constipated and depressed with muted costumes.

>>11863865Just wait for the 20-30% off in 3 months.
>>11860907These sets would be so good if they weren't MCU washed out ugly dark colors.
>>11864100>SOMEHOW the youtuber chink won.to be fair, all three of those "builds" in that finale were awful. max-cringe horrible. you have the opportunity to create a set that will be sold in stores, and each one did something already made or useless. a big tree, an Xmas house, and a ridiculous-ly giant plane.and the big dumb plane max-pandered by including a Roman Colosseum and African Tribe. they obviously wanted muh-culture-points. they were talking about all the cruises they took to all those places and all of a sudden I was thinking these punks already rich don't need to win. but the other two sets were so terrible they kinda just won anywayI felt bad for the judges. they picked the least-worst thing. and... Lego really butchered their "winning design" taking out ALL the figures, they won their show and don't even get minifig-homage-versions of themselves in their winning build. that's gotta sting for them
>>11863912Yo thats sick
>>11864119Loving and autistic sex with Amy!!!
>>11864267Which one is Amy?
>>11864110That and they were more creative with the pieces. They didn't custom design pieces for every single set, making them look incredibly smooth and lifeless. Also, everything is pastel colored now.
>>11863674I went to a media store yesterday and there was a giant bin of darth vader busts all thrown in there, it was literally all just vader busts and it was on sale too but, on top of that the bin was practically overflowing, like no one is grabbing that shit or they have a tremendous surplus of stock lmao.

>>11864434those red things are ingot pieces aren't theywhy does every set overuse them so badly?
>>11864377lego was going full retard with specialized pieces from the mid 90's all the way through to the bankruptcy scare, and now they're doing it again for some reasoni do agree with the colours though, there are too many hyper specific shades that don't really do anything
>>11864434this would be one of my favorite...probably top-5 HP-sets.but im poor during this time period... it will probably cost around 300 bucks Oh well
>>11864110>(Bri'ish)Just the red ones, the blue ones are french.
>>11864467British naval uniforms were white/blue, only marines and regular army wore red.
>>11864481I was talking flags. The blue flags are just lousy with fleur de lysses.Think a lot of the figs are both red and blue anyway. Like blue with red epaulettes and vice versa.
>>11864110It feels like all the hyper autistic Lego kids went on to be designers at Lego and are selling MOCs and dont understand the philosophy of toys, playsets, play patterns , limitation breeding creativity etc. Like it doesnt feel like toys half the time. I used to like creator 3 in 1 and I am kinda falling out of that lately too. The MOC feeling is thr worst for 18+ sets.
>>11864481>only marinesYeah, the soldiers on the boats...

>>11864492huh?
>>11864485The horse knight castle not having actual horses was pretty shitty. In fact, a lot of those sets have crappy brick built substitutes for things that already exist as lego pieces. IDK it feels almost passive aggressive when they do that.
>>11861608>muh postmodernistShut the fuck up sperglord>>11861632Because hes a tradtard from /pol/
>>11864110Also, limited colors.>>11864485t-b-h this has many colors that didn't exist back then.
>>11864450My favorite part about those godforsaken little shits is that there's a very prominent mold release mark in one of the indents which not only ruins the look of the piece, but also necessitates that you align them all the same way or else it looks even shittier.
>this should be a fun build>blocks your path
Almost as annoying as 75 of these for a “roof”.
>>11864595Dont forget the thors hammer piece being used to make brickwork
>>11864463>lego was going full retard with specialized pieces from the mid 90's Not even remotely close to the amount that they're doing now. It's not even comparable.

Today I found the remnants of Jay’s Electro Mech set while gathering some cans to recycle. The big bits are kind of mangled from being run over or stepped on. I will soak them in some hot water and hopefully get them to lock together properly.
Or maybe just leave it the way it is. It can serve as a warning to those who think they can mess with Jay.
>>11864706I'm curious how they did that phone booth, it looks so small, like 3 studs wide, yet detailed and fits a mini
>>11864770same base prob
not sure if this is the best place to ask but do any anons know the best way to sell lego not including ebayjust looking to get rid of two sets, if anyone is curious its these twohttps://rebrickable.com/sets/75082-1/tie-advanced-prototype/#commentshttps://rebrickable.com/sets/76038-1/attack-on-avengers-tower/#comments
>>11864748It's amazing how well deformed/bitten lego can often still lock. I bought a 2nd hand set a while back which was dirty as shit and had most blocks deformed because of glue/aceton or some shit, and they still all lock just fine.Separating them again is going to be a little tougher though.
>>11864797Try to look for any local stores that takes in 2nd hand lego.Also is that tower complete and how much would you ask for it? I may be interested in it.t. europoor
Does anyone here own that newest TIE bomber? I want to know if it's feasible to graft the old TIE fighter glass piece on it but I feel like the main body for it may be too small.
>>11864818I've tried but all the secondhand shops near me only do store credit, I just want actual moneyalso yes, they're both sealed and never openedwas looking to sell them for 125-140 usd each but would be open to selling them for 200 ish as a package deal

>>11864797>sell LegoFuck off. We scavenge our Lego from the trash like real men.
>>11864892I swear I'm not baiting, wasn't looking to sell on here eitherjust wanted to see if any anons had suggestions before I saw fuck it and go to facebook marketplace which I don't
>>11864845I don't know the ins and outs of being a bricklink seller, but maybe that's an option?>usdAh, that's a shame. Within the EU there are much cheaper options especially with the lower shipping costs.>>11864892I am turbo-new, but I genuinely cannot see how someone trying to sell his stuff and asking around here would be bait, since it plenty on /a/'s buyfag threads too.

Double the price AND you'll throw in an exclusive brown girlboss figgy???? YABBA DABBA DOO I'm such a happy mousecuck!!!lmao
>>11864797Facebook Marketplace is easy if you're only selling a few things. You have to undercut Bricklink prices a bit, but don't have to deal with taxes/fees/shipping/registering as a business.

I picked up this set on impulse when I was grocery shopping and I have to say it really sucks. Charmander's face looks even weirder in person, Geodude just seems really low effort, and the terrain build is straight up ugly. The only good thing about it is that there's no visual indications at all that it's a smartplay set.
>>11865321Why buy it though?
>>11865323
>>11865181>>11865182Oinked again award.
>>11865321>I picked up this set on impulse when I was grocery shoppingYeah, I'm sure that's why you posted a stock image instead of taking a picture of your actual lego.
>>11865334I thought I clearly told you to kill yourself, why are you still posting.Fuck off someplace else shizo freak.
>>11865321>charmander has no hands>throwing rock piece has no print (every disc launcher piece has a print of a projectile in Lego - for example this KINO Chima set)uh...im still gonna buy it fir 8bit sound Charmander
>>11865353back before they realized they could gouge us on dogshit 100+ piece side builds when you just wanted the figs. that banner would be a sticker too. john lego deserves the death penalty for his crimes.
>>11865353>icebound revenant factionWhich came first Game of Thrones or Chima?
>>11865374Chima came first.but ice zombies were a popular trope during the 2000s (World of Warcraft/etc)
>>11865374>WAOWIE IT'S JUST LIKE MY HECKIN GAYME OF THRONERINOESHoly cock, shut the fuck up.
>>11865353>(every disc launcher piece has a print of a projectile in Lego - for example this KINO Chima set)Chima and Nexo Knights are the kinoest themes.Nexo bros had all kinds of printed projectiles for disc launchers.it's really a shame lego didnt print a rock-type projectile on that disc
>>11863910Source?
>>11865399never had this set and wasn't really paying much attention to Chima but this thing blew me away when I first saw it, still does
>>11865402Like shooting fish in a barrel
>>11865399Well, Game of Thrones was in 1996
>>11865419It took him less time to write the first through last books than has elapsed since the last book came out.He will never finish it.He’ll die like Robert Jordan and then it’ll be turned into a feminist masterpiece.
>>11865417It's an awesome set.Basically a chima AT-AT - you can fit many zombies inside and outside.I kinda want a second one to make the army even bigger
>>11865412https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/guide-lego-smart-brick-update-required-for-lego-pokemon-smart-play-compatibility/
>>11865425I wonder what they changed? Did they finally enable the positioning stuff they teased when the smart bricks were announced?
>>11863910>Ha, shartbricks need a software update to play pokemans.NO WAY A SMART DEVICE NEEDS AN UPDATE???HOLY FUCK WOWWOWWWWWW
>>11860954I want arocs era lego with control+.Got a brand new old stock arocs set recently and holy shit, the modular design! I want that feel back, man. Imagine the functions, the fusion of gears and pneumatics, but with complex remote control.
>>11864826I have the new Bomber and the old Interceptor that uses the old TIE cockpit piece, and I don't see that being compatible with the Bomber without completely redoing the hull. The round cockpit window is about the same size as the front of the new Bomber, but the piece extends further to the sides from the window part so you'd need to widen the entire hull.
>>11865431Don’t worry bro you can get them cheap on clearance.
>>11865452>pokemon sets on clearanceholy incel
>>11865459You keep using that word.I meant the smart brick retard.Those Star Wars ones are like 60 percent off.I don’t care about your Pokémon nintoddler bullshit. Only Mexicans give two fucks about Pokémonz.

>just saw the back of the donkey Kong arcadeFucking pathetic. Also the big Donkey Kong image is a fucking sticker. Why did Pacman get such a complete arcade when DK gets something that barely resembles it?
>>11865422Oh I know, he saw the reception to the end of the TV show and just refuses to even try to write his way out of it
>>11865510>Also the big Donkey Kong image is a fucking sticker.it's sad to for them to admit it to themselves, but someone at Lego finally got out of the office, and opened up a real package in the store, and realized they simply SUCK at printing. especially on dark colors. going to print white on a black piece? nope! it will 100% look awful.Donkey Kong Sticker is so Lego doesn't have to be embarrassed by 100% complaints about poor printing on muh-$X00 set.
>>11865493t. watches hour long lore videos on Elden Ring
>>11865321This set design is so low effort its insane, just like the brickheadz. Swap the eyes and colors and you can make that stupid block figure anything. Make it white, its a snowman, make it purple, its an anthropomorphic grape, make it gray, its a thwomp. I hate Lego now. The curviness and low effort is the sign of a company thats lost its spark and is in decline.
>>11865613>this killed funkoOof.
>>11865613>brickheadz.Lego's attempt to make some Funko cash.except those Funko POP! Figures are usually stacked in the un-opened boxes, and you need to open the Lego ones to put them together, and then you don't have a box to display it in. d'oh!well, Lego keeps makin' 'em, so somebody is buying them...
Laura Palmer Brickhead or minifig when?
>>11865645>did you have the same backwards talking dream with the flaming cards?!
>>11865321This set design is so high effort its insane, just like the brickheadz. Swap the eyes and colors and you can make that lovely block figure anything. Make it white, its a snowman, make it purple, its an anthropomorphic grape, make it gray, its a thwomp. I love Lego now. The cleverness and high effort is the sign of a company that ignited its spark and is rising beyond the status quo.
>>11865321Got any in hand pics? I've been considering picking some of these up for my kids who enjoy Lego but are a bit too young to build anything by themselves. I thought the star wars sets seemed dumb but that's because star wars is mad gay to begin with
>>11865661>This set design is so high effort its insanefor the Pokemon, Lego swapped out special molded pieces for special printed pieces. you still require Lego to print the faces on the surfaces. it's still not possible to MOC your own Pokemon, and have it "match" what Lego did with muh-official (heh) versions. so Lego's attempt to make them "simple" fails to inspire kids to make their own setsso you still have to wait and hope Lego picks your favorite Pokemon out of the thousand choices to make a set of...
>>11865321that charmander is cute. I hope the rumors about actual gameboy sounds are true.I would fucking love this set as a kid. fuck everybody who hates it.You are all dream-dead normies. probably pretend to like some autistic bs from the 00s
Fuck it looks so good. Mogs the bricktactical MarkV out of the armor.Humbly brickwarriors is the best 3rd party accessory manufactorer around right now
So i'm building this belgian fries joint, yeah? Then i come across this welded abomination. What the hell is this? Rounded 2 by 6 has been around, and regular 2 by 3 is older than most of the people on this webiste. Can anyone enlighten me, what is the reason for making this piece?
>>11865873I don't know what they were up to with that one. I have one that came with some city car or something...not entirely sure where it came from, but for as much as people blame Lego for "part farming" it then seems really weird for them to create a piece that is literally just two other existing pieces fused together.
>>11865879Oh well. I like these modular fast food trucks though, i have previously bought the burger one.That's where the beauty lies for me i think, in the simple things. Lego dudes doing their little lego things, not some overarching narrative like basedwars or marvel.
>>11865883Uhoh. Hamburger lady is going to wake up one night to a giant wiener in her bun.
>>11865613>>11865621people buy these because they’re cheap lego sets of characters they likelots of people get pleasure out of building the sets and then not interacting with them beyond that
>>11865873I got this set too and It did appear as a rather pointless piece to me too, my guess that its for structural integrity of the bumpers.
>>11863553Its the stores own product at that point and the shit has sat almost universally untouched since it was released.A couple of the star wars smartbrick sets are staying in the asile but the trend pod shit is gone replaced by pokemon smartbricks.Only reason you'd see any of this shit still full price is because the new ceo of walmart is a super sayian jew and cut the amount of clearance money allowed to each store by a stupid amount.Tomorrow is the first so everyone is gonna try to mark down their shit before HO declares no more smart bricks. money until September.>t. Wagie
>>11865321Some of the pokemon look much better than others.Biggest thing thats gonna save the pokemon wave are all the different price points.>jigglypuff at $15>couple different $20 sets>couple $60-$80 sets>$120 setThe lapras set calls to me
>>11865932The price point definitely favors the Pokemon smartplay over the SW ones. I think the cheapest one with a smart brick is still $70 like the SW ones, but at least there are a lot of cheaper options in the pokemon line. I mean, you don't really NEED the smart brick so you could still get a kid a cheap $15, or $20, or $30 set or whatever and they'd still probably get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it.
>>11865928Based wagecuck.
>>11865422The best part is, when he does die, he will deserve all the blame and scorn he gets, because the dude literally did EVERYTHING except finish his fucking series.
>>11865956You still need to shell out 140+ if you want to "battle" though
>>11865932The sets look fine, but the actual smart play stuff looks about on par with the Mario stuff and maybe even a bit more lame because the lack of the actual sounds.I don't understand the limitation that made them go with this sound synthesis for everything, it actually sounds terrible and there's no way you can't store a couple hundred shitty audio clips on something of that size without driving up the cost too much, especially when you have the app to swap stuff out. You can literally do this on the Duplo train from last year.To do this and then choose licenses with extremely strong brand identity in sound specifically defies all logic. The implementation just sucks.Couldn't they have synthesized the actual pokemon cries at the very least? They all sound stroked out
>>11865857why is there such a powerful connection between lego autists and halo autists, powerful enough to go to this extent to create high quality custom molded lego parts? What other IP fandom has a lego audience this dedicated?
>>11866118There's a gigantic market of people making Star Wars Glup Shitto background Jedi and literally who clones.
>>11866120with custom molds?
>>11866118Well not really an IP but gun trannies in general are pretty obnoxious about this stuff. But that's not really unique to lego.
>>11865873I'd say its a piece originally from a Juniors set, repurposed. Those sets are stupid with the specific pieces.
>>11865873POOP. In both senses of the term.
>>11866116>especially when you have the app to swap stuff outit's laugh-out-loud ridiculous that the brick needs to be updated at all, that was the whole point of using the synthesizer instead of recorded clips. and NOW you can't use the X-Wing Smart Brick with a Pokemon? it's such a frustrating prospect. now, the thing they wanted to be childish-ly-easy requires you to "figure it out!" and update it??? I feel so bad for Lego at this point. it's so cringe. almost not even funny which kinda makes it more funny, but seriously what a mess
>>11865896Not even remotely relevant to my post
Wanted to buy 3 XFiles sets but you only get 1 lab with purchase. Is that tied to accounts? My best friend is a huge X-Files fan.
>>11866038Do you at least get the GWP with that? Here in bongland the GWP threshold is £115 and the set with 2 smart bricks is £109.99.
>>11866265>only get 1 lab with purchase.you have to do 3 separate ordersor buy it in a The Lego Store, the Employees will be able to do it on one ring.remember when GWPs were like with a $50 purchase? I once bought an Avengers Helicarrier and the store employee gave me like 4 Winter Soldier free polybags since the Helicarrier was $200 and I got the $50 4 times... sometimes the store employees know how to SELL a set. I think I got an amazing deal, and that guy got a $200 sale by giving away a few extra polybags instead of being a dick about it
