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
>>11862381shut up faggot
>>11862087this set is great what are you talking about
>>11862381Indeed, should be The Forcey Fun Time
>>11862316kino
>>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
>>11862675hopes: DS9 station maybe: TOS ship or Voyager most likely: nu trek shit
>>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
>>11862708>Is below the ocean in space

>>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
>>11862842you are too old to be making embarrassing posts like this on the internet
>>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.
>>11863015//toy/ is our board
>>11862842>>11863086you're on the lego thread, post isnt embarrassing in the slightest. I love hearing people sharing their childhood memories
>>11863099you are brown
>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.
Holy kinohttps://youtu.be/JOvZsQ72X1Y?si=DnWcRt355ZDBVZIK
>>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
