>>11875970I'm sure it's fine. I'm not exactly particular about who does it (long as he's not french), just there was one image left after I posted my legitimate pictures and at that point I figured better to pull the trigger so the morning crowd would have a proper thread.

>>11876009Kek. Do it anyway the five actual humans will appreciate it.
>>11875962Finally finished up the last big bag of the Goodwill bricks! Large amount of Friends elements and interestingly some Elves components in the mix.
>>11876057As with other pics, the more common elements have been sorted out. Of note, I can pick out assemblies from a 1994 snowmobile, no minifig parts this time but lots of food pieces.
What are you building anon?
Should I make wizard Tahu or cowboy tahu
>>11876120Cowboy.
Pretty much done with the castle, except for the interior. But I’ve cleared the table to start working on the village, also the bridge stairs aren’t the final design, just a place holder for now
>>11876130Looking fucking DECENT!
>>11876130Really excellent work anon. Love seeing your updates. Have you considered a cliff on the other side of the bridge too? So the waterway is more of a ravine? That would be a lot more pieces and work but I think the effect would be worth it. Or maybe I just lack vision for the placeholder stairs at the moment

It's been a while since I posted some updates on the castle brothel moc. It's 99% done and has taken me almost a year - time to move on to building something new.>>11876130This is looking great I remember when it was first started. Thanks for always posting progress photos
>>11876957Some more photos of the exterior. The kitchen has a take-out window from the outside and there is free customer parking for your horse.
>>11876958The main floor has the stable, the entrance, main common rooms, and the kitchen. Plus the buffet and the bar! qt tomboy bartender included.
>>11876960The second floor has two private rooms and the Madam's office
>>11876965The third floor has a rooftop deck and the Madam's personal apartment. Also the flame for the lighthouse that shines out to the sea.
>>11876965The gal on the casting couch does not seem happy about her situation.
>>11876972I guess she doesn't want to make $1000 to $5000 dollars per day...
Built the bootlego falcon, build is cool, minis leave a lot to be desired, I don't recognize the other two black guys, I do have an OT han and chewy to replace these with so the ship will have good pilots.

>>11876957>>11876958>>11876960>>11876965>>11876970Man this is fucking awesome. I wish I had the creativity and talent to make MOCs like this. I also really just don't have the space at the moment but I hope to have my own home in the next few years so I can finally make a Lego space. Rebuilding my collection of parts is my primary goal now since I lost my entire childhood collection and have only just now started buying sets again in the past few years. The problem is I only buy stuff that I really like so I don't really have anything to disassemble for spare parts for MOC making but slowly over time I hope to rebuild it.

Since the janny inexplicably killed the last attempt at a /pbbg/ I'll be posting here I guess. Found this spacecraft on AliExpress and was pleasantly surprised when they sent it to me in the original box; usually they package up the contents in a bubble envelope to save on shipping costs.
>>11877308The other surprise was the verso of the box showing off the modularity of the ship, hadn't looked through the listing's photos enough to notice.
>>11877309The set comes in over a dozen little baggies and yes, as you can tell from one of them, all the details are printed.
>>11877310Ready for some space exploraction
>>11877311Really neat build with the main engines block doubling as a lander module; the secondary engines can be moved to the flight module itself.
>>11877313The lander opens up nicely to reveal a research lab and medical bay. Our brave astronauts are on the rotund side; not sure if this is the brand's minifig design or if they're bulked up to represent spacesuits.
>>11877314The middle module is a cargo pod; the solar panels can be added to the lander for long-term missions. the flight module has a garage in back for a cute little robot.
>>11877308>>11877309>>11877310>>11877311>>11877313>>11877314>>11877316Very nice. Slap a logo tile or two on it and it'll fit right in with real Citytron.Surprised they didn't use the airlock piece, but maybe Lego has an actual copyright on that.

>>11877737>you must be below this line to ride with Biden
>>11877201You'll find more if you walk around barefoot.
>>11877351On a related note I also got this apparent re-imagining of a Lego spacecraft, partly cuz every time I'd see it on AliExpress I'd hear the theme to Enterprise in my head for some reason. Forgot that it came with a third pilot figure who has a spacesuit in the back of the ship under that dome canopy.
>>11877747>I can reach any star>I've got faith, I've got faith...>faith of the heaarrrrrrrrrt
>>11877748Picked up that original Lego set from Bricklink just to do the comparison, must say I like the Chinese version better. On the other hand the Lego set also had a rover, fueling station and a couple mini drones, but that's just padding really.
>>11877749Yeah, no, the chinesium version is definitely better. It looks like something out of Mars Mission. The normal one is just pure NASAslop.
>>11877747>>11877748On an unrelated note, I sincerely fucking hate that Atlantis helmet/backpack so fucking much. The Buzz Lightyear torso design, ridiculously oversized air tanks, and big obnoxious pin holes were bad enough, but the real shit cherry on that particular shit sundae is the fact that it then universally took over as the new big space helmet/backpack. Replacing a helmet that's better in every single way whose only actual crime was getting on in years a bit.It also gave us the dome visors with the trapezoid embossing, which literally do not even fit on a basic motorcycle helmet properly.
>>11877747>>11877748Why aren't they wearing gloves in space?
>>11877789Do you expect Fleshies to be smart?
>>11877785Based Hydronauts enjoyer.
I guess I will have to put together the technic shit I got this week, just to see what I can scrounge up
>>11877789>>11877792Uh, chinese, remember? Even if they were fleshies they'd be yellow. Those are clearly just unfortunately coloured gloves.
>>11877797Fair point, well made.
>>11877797Actually the CCP realised they could save $20 per taikonaut by not using gloves and exposing the taikonauts' hands to the vacuum of space.
Not to sound like a mousecuck, but u knoe?
>>11877816The joy of lego is to build it yourself. Though frankly I don't know, that thing doesn't look very cool.

>>11878276Not yet but as more making one, it’s on my to do list. Maybe even a whole village for him to roam around in.
>>11878352Shield is definitely excessive. I would even contend the horse barding head is as well, but it is a nice parts usage and may look less oversized with the shield removed.
>>11878352I feel ya. The speed champions car is kind of cool and I may color swap the shark to a Friends pallet for no reason at all. But mostly it was cheap Lego fairly close by.
/biog died/Fuck
>>11878536I honestly have a hard time thinking of it as a horse helmet because every set I ever had it from used it in a purely decorative manner (or, in one case, as a battering ram). Then in the 2000s they replaced it with a simpler design, probably because they realized it doesn't really work for ay faction that doesn't already have a dragon motif.

>>11879183Unfortunately pic related is the kama I'm looking for.
>>11879189So much sovl in this piece
>>11879192I got lucky finding this in a bin I recently bought along with a few other minifigs.

>>11879219Some nice instructions, catalogs, and an old Lego Show book
>>11879219Viking Voyager looks like it's barely been played with since it was built. The minifigs are in perfect condition and even had their hands still in the rowing pose. Also a few little Pirates sets, with almost 4 complete sets of chrome coins, all intact. A few more Legoland and 90s space sets too.
Is putting these pieces together to make a duel sided stud a legal building technique? It should be, right? Is there any MOCs that use this technique? Is it used in any official sets?
>>11879223Good find. I missed out on a bunch of old ship parts including sails because FB blocked me from commenting on posts.
>>11879227...Why exactly wouldn't it be legal? It's a clip and a bar, a clip and a bar has always been a legal connection. Illegal would be if pieces are being held in place by tension in a way they were never designed for or if a piece is being bent (even slightly) to make the connection, and even then Lego have themselves done that kind of thing before (plate between two studs for the former, CADshit that nobody on the design team ever physically built between it being mocked up and going into production for the latter).
>>11879249>CADshit that nobody on the design team ever physically built between it being mocked up and going into production for the latterIt's still unbelievable to me that this actually happened. I would think there would be an entire focus group dedicated to analyzing the build experience and highlighting problem areas that need to be reworked or pointed out as tricky in the instructions, but I guess there just isn't time for this when you slop out as many sets in a year as Lego has been recently.
>>11879262It’s like putting busted torsos on the box art. >only the bestDo better.
>>11879275>putting busted torsos on the box art.I honestly don't know how they even manage that, it's not like they've used actual photoes of the physical product for box art since, what, the early 2000s? So did they tell some jeet to model a minifig and he made it too true to life not understanding that the giant cracks aren't something you want to advertise? Or is nu-lego so fail that the fragility spiritually leaks into even mere renders of the product?

>>11879757Is that for rizzle? I got triggered hard seeing that.

Dunno if anyone else has seen those Golden Age of Lego Space MOCs appearing on AliExpress lately but I was curious enough to try this Ice Planet 2002-inspired craft. I say inspired cuz while it looks very much like one, there's key differences.
>>11880124First off they've gone with trans-orange instead of trans-neon orange for the relevant parts, which I suppose could be a lesser of two evils as they could've just as easily gone with the nu-trans-neon orange N*xo garbage. There's no Ice Planet 2002 markings, despite being clearly indicated on several pieces in the instructions (pdf-only by email); also shown there but absent were a printed control panel slope and 1x2 control panel tile. Either they were too cheap to even provide stickers or it wasn't worth the risk of incurring Lego's wrath by reproducing the copyrighted elements of the theme.There were no minifigs provided either, likely for similar reasons as the above. In terms of quality it was mostly reasonable, though there was one especially egregious lapse in QC which I'll get to. The canopy piece has that almost oily look to it I've come to expect from many Chinese legos; for some reason the right-angled small wing pieces have hollowed out studs which makes for an odd visual contrast. The two big skis were visibly poorly made compared to the rest but function well enough in their role.
>>11880128The biggest QC failing was in two of the three 1x4 hinge plates; they're slight off so they barely function in holding to the 4x4 hinged plates serving as part of the ship's cargo bay ramp. Can swap them out with Lego-made parts but the fact that one of the three had no issues indicates they can in fact get it right.
>>11880129The cargo bay houses this cute little scout vehicle. The skis were another area of QC concern as the design calls for two to be stored on a 1x2 plate with vertical bar at the back - had to work a rod through them to loosen them up a bit before I could get them in place. QC issues aside it's a fun little ship, very much captures the feel of that classic Space theme and I'm tempted to rebuild it with Lego, probably with a few modifications. I expect other AliExpress MOC sets to provide a similar experience; not sure if I'll let myself be drawn into another but if the price is right...

>>11880143Could it be argued that Lego's dumbing down of their instructions has contributed to things? Or was it just making Lego more attainable for the double-digit IQ masses
>>11880147Half the time you have to download the instructions now. Last two 3-1 sets I bought have only had paper instructions for the main build.

Next floor after what we have here will have a platform for the main gun and the tower proper in the back.

>>11880124it just feels wrong with just trans orange. the fluorescent trans orange parts are what makes it "Ice Planet"
>>11880100>>11880089been trying to get a 1x1 trans neon yellow for years now, every time I order one from a Bricklink store, they ALWAYS send Trans Neon Green or just regular Trans Yellow.I've tried paying the premium prices, still send the wrong piece, I tried buying from a store that has all three colours listed, still get the wrong piece. Some Bricklink sellers are retarded man.
Speaking of Ice Planet, I've been working on a kind of modernized ship myself. I don't really go in with a plan, I just sort of rifle through the parts bin and add and subtract as I go. I still need to rework the backend, but the plan was to sort of encase the engines, and also have some pipes and wires, and innards visible like it is a bit of an older ship with some paneling missing. Want to add more blue and filling out the wings and put some more of the neon orange pieces in in a few places.
>>11880480You don't even post legoAll you do is bitch and complain.
>>11880631Cool (hehe), love the slope usage and overall shape. Does it have lots of interior space? I once did a Futuron version of the CitySpace Interstellar Spaceship with the same "hyperdrive" mechanism. Maybe I'll take it apart to add some storage space for equipment.

>>11880771YO YO YO! GOAT minifig pack checking in!How is everybody 2nite?
>>11880750Thanks! Unfortunately, it doesn't really have much interior space. Like I said, I don't really go in with a plan, so the front half I was more focused on just making it solid, so there is no room for any minifigures. I guess I could have tweaked the cockpit so two figures could have sat in there, but alas.The back half is pretty open, so I could strip out some of those exposed pipes and wires and stuff and actually make room to put some figures in there. I might end up doing that, actually, and move some of the exposed bits further back toward the engine. I also kind of want to bulk up the wings a little too, but I'm not even close to being done and still tinkering with it.I wasn't super into City Space stuff, but in hindsight, I kind of like the look of it more so I wished I had picked more up. Funny thing is, I actually did pick up a couple of those little interstellar spaceships myself. Really cool little sets, and yeah, it would be pretty easy to mode them to older Space factions too (your Futuron one looks pretty sweet!)I picked up a small bulk lot a while back that had a bunch of neon orange and neon green parts, so I sort of want to turn one of those little interstellar ships into a Blacktron II vehicle.

>>11880631Snazzy, and great choice of theme, though heavier on slopeslop than I find attractive, personally. I'd suggest a little more black and maybe the slopes below the arrows to be changed to something else that would explain the "arch" the wings make around them (vents maybe). I assume you've already got plans for antennae so I won't render any commentary about their lack. The spoiler is cute, maybe you could get a big sticker of the Ice Planet logo to put on there.
>>11880733>pictures taken moments before french disaster>>11880750I always interpreted that as the main sublight drive, just with different modes for atmospheric and space flight. Hyperdrive being the trans-light-blue bits on the angled bits, as also seen on the tower base's cargo shuttle.
>>11881289>slopeslopOh my god shut the fuck up
>>11881342Oh my slop slop the slop slop
>>11881342Nope lol
>>11881286If the ink didn't run when you put it in the water, the sealant was effective. If the sealant isn't effective, another layer can work.I suggest cutting the decals to the minimum size (eg lower down from the forehead, cut off the bottom corners around the cheeks) and they will fit better on the rounded heads.
Hmmm, Monday may be a good day to just assemble shit together at random
>>11876130Any Pythagorean builds in there? I'm copying what I've found on Google to get a feel for landscapes.
>>11881421NTA, but I do love me a good 3:4:5 pythagorean triangle (the only fucking kind that works with Lego without ghetto jury-rigging, strictly speaking).
>>11876137Thanks anon, I have thought about adding a cliff to the other side, I’ll probably make it shorter, >>11876957Thanks anon, love your beach community, I remember the build with green roof you posted awhile ago, very cool>>11881421No, there’s nothing like that. It’s just sits on the cliff at an angle,
I modified the buildings in my spaceport display a bit, though I'm considering replacing the two blue buildings with one larger one. Might need to get more blue plates if I want to add more floors to it.
>>11881486Either a very gutsy raid or a very stupid place to park. On Blacktron's part, that is.>>11880904>so I sort of want to turn one of those little interstellar ships into a Blacktron II vehicle.I always commend anyone actually building/modifying something and taking pictures of it, but I'm not personally a fan. Let's be real, nostalgiafagging aside (and most of that is pure poser wank unless everyone here is over 40), the B2 colour scheme is kind of shit for what they're supposed to be.
>>11881502the B2 color scheme is actually kinda kino. I made a Stardefender in Blacktron II colors once. Looked like this.
>>11881516>B2>Blacktron IIts not called B2 or Blacktron II its "Blacktron future generation "
>>11881541I thought it was Big Blacktron Cockpits?
>>11881502It's supposed to be a Blacktron raid. It's not visible in that photo because the cruiser is blocking the view, but on the ground there's a bunch of Blacktron guys with guns that the Space Police guys are racing to intercept.
Johnny Thunder and his native guide, Mosquito-Bites, have journeyed into the deepest reaches of the Peruvian jungle in search of...
...The Temple of the Great Visitor!This has been an idea that I've had kicking around on stud.io for a while but I decided to finalize and build it for real. Been on an Adventurers kick lately
Alas, the foul Lord Sinister and his latest flunky, Wily Willy, have made it here first! Swashbuckle up the temple steps, but beware of Lord Sinister's prize knife fighting chimp, Slybobo!
Johnny reaches the apex, a glinting diamond in his grasp - but falls afoul of a trapdoor, and tumbles into the hidden tomb of King Klatu! The Great Visitor awakens! Climb to safety, Johnny - lest ye be turned to ashes by the wrath of the heathen gods!
>>11881541>Blacktron future generation So, Blacktron Zoomers vs Blacktron Boomers?
>>11881648>Mosquito-BitesDoesn't look like it to me!
>>11881653Black Monarch Knights -> Black sea Barracuda pirates -> Octan -> Blacktron -> Blacktron Future generation
I think I want to do my first MOC. I saw someone post this Mitsubishi 3000GT and I think it looks awesome. Is there anything I could do to make this cheaper or more efficient for myself than just throwing the whole list of parts onto bricklink in a wishlist and seeing if a store has at least 90% of it?
>>11881720>I think I want to do my first MOCMOC stands forMyOwnCreationthis is not yours it's someone else's MOCwhich now that I type that out, it's a flaw in the term. you can use MOC for something you built yourself, but you really can't use it for someone else's MOC. whoa.
>>11881722Yes anon, I meant doing someone else's MOC.
>>11881722I suppose YOC in the second person, HOC in the third. Screw it, I'm gonna start saying that just to make things needlessly confusing.
>>11876239Why isn’t he wearing pants?
>>11881722I thought we settled on FOCFriends own creation.
>>11881805>YOC in the second person, HOC in the third.lol good luckLego AFOL community has the dumb-est acronymsI tried to start REBBOFANK* a while ago to express my frustration with the trend of*Ridiculously Expensive Black Box Only For Adults Not Kidsand to separate the discussion from "regular" Lego aimed at like, y'know... real childrenfor example: Lego just released another REBBOFANK Lord of the Rings set, or, that Pokemon Pokeball is a REBBOFANK setI thought making up a purposefully idiotic acronym was more on-brand for the AFOL community. AFOL of course being hard to say out loud without sounding like you're a moron
what were they thinking
>>11882009It’s probably another Harvey Weinstein reference.
>>11882009AIDS patients need representation too.
>>11878020I failed badly at building this, but I still display the box and just pretend I never opened it.
>>11881652Dude this whole thing is awesome. Nailed the look of the flunky, did he get away?You could have this old school computer piece connected to the coffin.Also we need one final picture of Mosquito-Bites saving Johnny by stabbing the Alien with her spear.Also the use of the bamboo piece reminds me of this Disturbing the Piece episode. i can never see it same now lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIsuQwiK_7E&t=1367s
>want to buy some chrome shit for a full shiny suit>find a seller who's got most of what I need, go with him because he says what he's selling is already worn and priced accordingly (cheap) so I can actually use it without worrying about chipping off the chrome>it arrives>sword and breastplate are practically pristineWell shit. Not that I'm unhappy with the result, but shit, now I'd just feel bad about using them. Like there's a few little dings but compared to even the best-preserved of my own chrome pieces from back when they might as well be fucking mint.
I increased the size of the larger building in the space display and positioned it so the interior isn't against the wall. So far I didn't add extra floors to it, though I might still do that eventually. Would need more trans-yellow bricks for windows then.
>>11881648sex with Mosquito-Bites
Yeah, so that didn't work out with the helmet so much. But on the upside, I got her a fresh new cape to replace the ratty old frayed original.
>>11881815yes he is Plain Black Torso with Yellow Arms, Yellow Legs, Black Male HairItem No: pln040 , unique to that set!
>>11881805I'd go with SOC.Someone's creation.
>>11882657why does she wear the mask?
>>11882677there is a castle faction that wears those pants RFLOL
They look a lot better than the big buildable figuresBut they'll cost a fortune since they're only in that 200+ set, won't they?
>>11882898Figfags will pay $2000 for boba fett, you tell me what they'll pay for two of the most popular Pokemon.
>>11882899Well it can't be more than 100 dollars each. Cause then you could just buy the whole set at retail.
>>11882900I might go as high as 190, to milk those people who want Eevee but not Pikachu and see losing the rest of the set as a 5% discount. And of course as soon as the set goes out of print all bets are off.
>>11882901They should bring out some ultra limited 151 master's edition box that is just 151 minifig molds of the kanto dexI want to see the bloodbath
>>11882898Lego making the first Pokemon minifigs and minifig-scale molded Pokemon cost over $200 is crazy evil (Rayquaza doesn't count, it's not molded and the Minifig in that set is basically a poor MOC using close-enough hair that doesn't look like the character at all)we have only ourselves to blame. if people refuse to buy it, Lego would stop doing it. but over and over again, society proves it's... okay... to "let" Lego abuse us.
>>11882907I really like that Zinnia, personally. She's very reminiscent of older eras of licensed figs where "close enough" was the standard. Feels like LEGO Zinnia rather than "Zinnia but LEGO" if that makes sense.
>>11876059Interesting.
>>11882908>like LEGO Zinnia rather than "Zinnia but LEGO"Star Wars did that, tooI agree I like when Lego looks like Lego, but I'd rather have new hair pieces, too. I'm only bothered by a new hair piece that can ONLY be used for THAT character (whoever it is).or... like when Ninjago or Dreamzzzz makes a villain with a crazy wackadoo hat/hair that really can't be generic, it's like what's the point? (it's a cool wide brimmed witch hat, but they put a giant eyeball on it and ruin it for MOCs)
>>11876008True.
>>11882898Why do they look so derpy, especially Pikachu? Even those tiny little cheap 'mons (you know the ones) look more on-model than them.>inb4 they're not supposed to look on-model bro
>>11882916many of the lego games designs are much better than the final thing lego made
>>11883134They're supposed to look Lego, yeah, that is the answer. If you want scale world you should buy scale world.
>>11882898>>11882899>>11882900>>11882901>>11882902>>11882907>>11882908>>11883134>>11883198Yeah, well, basically pokeniggers get what they deserve.
I'm a fucking idiot, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner.
>>11883213It's a good combo
>>11881648Johnny Thunder is a hebechad? Based.Also fuck me I wish these older pieces werent so expensive. I swear to dog I bought a bag of Johnny Thunder pieces for like $20 just a few years ago and now the same figs and parts would be like $100.
>>11883259>hebeI don't think that was actually a thing 100 years ago, the attraction to nubile sexually developed teenage jungle girls was just called called, quote, "normal".Anyway, glad at least I got a shitload of hieroglyphic column pieces a few years back.
>>11883148the old star wars games completely mog every official design that came after them while also being consistent with the early lego star wars style imagine going from that to the tcw figs
>>11883269I just wanna get that old Aztec temple with the big baseplate but it's like $400. I did get some of those pillars in that bag + basically all the main figs. I just don't like how suddenly the value skyrocketed for these. It also doesn't make sense that there's probably millions of each figureout there so it's not like they're rare. I really miss how you could just drop $15 to a random Lego eBay seller and he'd send you a random bag of printed pieces for mocs and decorating.
>>11883365AliExpress has random bunches of printed pieces, also many themed ones including Egyptian stuff.
>>11883269>Lego guy on 4chan wants to fuck children.
>>11883413I will not buy commie chinkoid pieces.
>>11883420He wants Brussy (brick pussy) retard.
>>11883365>It also doesn't make sense that there's probably millions of each figure out there so it's not like they're rareI wonder if investorfags are a big factor in this. The smarter ones have no doubt clued in to the fact that scalping the new $X00 dust collectors is not a winning strategy, so they do a little more work and buy up stocks of the old things which are popular and guaranteed to not ever be made again (retired colors/molds/themes) and thus remain both scarce and desirable.Purist armybuilders are also a possibility, like autists trying to make WW1/WW2 soldiers so buying up 100 Baron von Barrons/Johnny Thunders for the torsos and hats.
>>11883441You should buy cheap Lego pieces (torsos/walls/etc) and print off stickers/waterslide decals.Personally I can't refuse buying horses/cows for $1 each when the Lego ones are $10+ and barely higher quality
>>11883363found some guy making customs from the old star wars games, but when I checked, most figs were unavailable at this point and newer ones were expensive as fuck
Tower's done. Think maybe a bit too much black on top though.
>>11883532>after 10,000 years I’m free!>time to conquer earth!
>>11883532bit of an unaesthetic mess really
>>11883476Kind of insane that we finally got a double lightsaber hilt piece and it's never actually been used as a lightsaber hilt.
>>11883536Yeah, I don't think whatever I was trying to do with those trans-yellow rotor blade bits really worked out.
>>11883532I like the fusion of Fright Knights and Blacktron, but I think the tower could benefit from more of the classic space design elements. Hallmarks of classic Lego space are large windows, spindley skeletal supports, and a profusion of antennas, dishes, and sci-fi instruments. Blacktron has all these and adds the color scheme of Black, yellow, and trans red/yellow (nailed this), the triforce emblem (nailed this), and the occasional a-symmetry (not present). If this were mine, I would add exposed supports to the middle section of the tower, leaving a larger cabin at the top. This blends well with the Fright Knight aesthetic as well, which has prominent arches and open spaces. Taking inspiration from the telescopes present in Willa's sets, I would also add plenty of radar dishes and antennas to her tower as well.Of course that's just my 2 cents, it's your build and you can do whatever you want.
Could this Aliexpress bootleg be confirmation of a Raven's Knight CMF? I've never seen this design and I doubt Chinese bootleggers would come up with this. I am seeing this design all over the site now.
>>11883596I just now see this one too, with a tree/acorn design I've never seen prior. The leaks stated one would be a 'squirrel knight' kid cosplaying like the one prior with the horse on a stick.
>>11883596>>11883599I think it's most likely they just pinched these designs from some guy on Eurobricks or something (maybe he adapted the snake one to the old shield piece which is what they were looking for, then they just copied the others too). It's not like the Chinks have inside knowledge of Lego's development that no one else has. I expect the squirrel knight will have an actual squirrel on the shield, otherwise it would be called the tree knight or something.
>>11883599no way would official Lego do a whackadoo acorn tree like that. it's visually complicated and just a mess. I expect the shield to either have a single giant acorn or like a silhouette of a squirrel matching the style of the previous silhouettes except ha-ha it's a squirreland that other claw one is a chicken foot. looks familiar, like it's from something, but I can't think of anything in particular and I don't care enough to do the research myself
>>11883607It's the claw from the Raven shield.
I finally got it, been wanting one for a while and I got it for a really good price
>>11883706hell yeah
>>11883707Thanks, excited too. I've got this idea of using tiny spotlights from beneath to make it light up like a proper museum fossil down the line, will have to see how that goes on my shelf
>>11883596>>11883599Yes, I'm sure you're very excited to consoom more [FACTION]-printed figs to line up on a grey baseplate.
What is the consensus on lego transformers? Ever since I was a kid I've always wanted lego to make a transformers set but my childhood came and went. I had to settle for kreo and watching lego transformer videos on old youtube.
>>11883923I don’t want to spend 700 dollars on nu-orange.
>>11883923>consensus on lego transformers?I can't answer for anyone else, apparently the sets Lego offers sell, so they'll keep making them like they do. does that count as consensus?I, personally, think they are lame. giant sets cheat the functionality and appearance. while they DO look "a'aight" it's only because they are huge (and thus... expensive)they would be a zillion times cooler if they were Speed Champions minifig-scaled cars
>>11883989I WANT TECHNIC STUFF TO NOT COST 1 BILLION DOLLARS
>>11883989I don't think they're doing that well at all. Optimus came out in 2021 or 2022, and since then, only him, Bumblebee, and Soundwave have come out...Unless you also want to count Brickheads, because they also did one of Megatron. I imagine they made them so big so they could still transform easily. Fuckin Hasbro made the Kreos and they couldn't even transform, you just had to disassemble them back and forth between bot mode and vehicle mode. And some of those sets were actually pretty big.If they mad them the size of Speed Champions, there's no way they would transform either. On top of that, considering Speed Champions are already 300-350 pieces each, they'd probably then end up being 500 piece sets of nothing but pins, clips, 1x1 round pieces with holes in them, and you'd still have to probably disassemble them to turn them from robot to vehicle.I have Optimus and Bumblebee, but I have yet to build them. Only reason I got them was because I found Bumblebee at Walmart for about $40 on clearance, and Optimus at Target for about 50% off on clearance. Both of them technically retired at the end of July, but you an still get them almost anywhere because of zombie stock but you're going to be paying full retail and from the sound of it, they aren't worth it.
how are there zero alt builds for this travesty
>>11880192>tfw I have been going thru over 10kg of loose parts sorting them by colourNever sort your bricks by color. Sort them by part type.
>>11884164Sorting by both is the best way. Eg if you want to build a blue wall, you pull out your bag of 2x4 blue bricks.
>>11884164>>11884187>sorting bricksYou guys aren’t gonna make it.
Finally finished with my custom alien minifigs. They came out alright
Why did lego murder Sonic and Animal crossing lines?
>>11884198>>11884187>>11884164Sort by shape and put unsimilar™ but logical pieces together. Clips and bars. Hinges. Technic bricks. Cross bars and pipes.>>11884198>The sound of you digging your hand in there looking for a pieceSHRLLL SHLLL SHWLLLLLL
>>11884245>Buying chinkoid piecesBig Yikes.>Buying official Lego® and applying custom decalsThis is the way.Chinkoid pieces would only be find if you're trying to get some big mold piece or out of print part that is dangerously expensive.
>>11884164I sort first by colour - black, light and dark gray,white, everything else. And then I sort by shape and type - plate,tile,block,curved,techic etc. And after that I sort by part type if I find time.
>>11884164For me it's by shape and colour.
I'm gonna make a bootleg DnD red dragon set using the official lego instructions and winging it whenever i don't have a certain piece since i missed out on the set and my lego store no longer has it (i do have almost all the cmf minifigs). Wish me luck, bros.
>>11884245Gnorts Gang
>>11884271The pleasing sound is part of the appeal.Getting to touch bricks is another.
>>11884289Bake it with lots of colors just to make the autists seeth.Post results.
>>11884289Lego made that D&D Castle only have 5 Minifigs for your $360, and then has the crazy notion of selling the Minifigs extra for $5 a pop. for three hundred sixty dollars, that castle should have had over 20 characters, especially considering the source material. it could have been random bits create-YOUR-character stuff like that foosball table set had! and THEN it could have also had a CMF setI'm not sure whether to thank Lego for that idea, or be mad at them. I mean, I couldn't buy a whole castle, but I DID get a bunch of the $5 figs. and it somehow seems nice to torture the people who support $X00 sets by screwing them on figures, even if my instincts tell me that's mean
>>11884329>The pleasing sound is part of the appeal.True, but it also scratches your bricks...
>>11884362>42% of skeletons
be prepared for his raid attempt
>>11883605Actually, aren't the CMFs made in China? Wouldn't be the first time ""'bootlegs""" off the official product lines leaked.
>>11883596>>11883599Honestly if you were going to make a new Castle Faction what would even be your idea for it? At this point I just want the current ones developed further.
>>11884331I made the first floor and now i want to die. I'm sweaty and smell and honestly kinda scared how i'll finish the rest of the set because there are some pretty weird pieces used later on.Ignore the yellow inn girl though, she's a placeholder.
Original first floor was kinda freaking barren and boring so i just winged it.You have the dragon horn chair, little dragon statue over the fireplace and the adventurers quest board. I have also literally never seen that diagonal door piece in my life so i just made shit up.
Original pier was also small so i just made it larger to look cool.I'm going to bed now and will continue tomorrow.
>>11884409>Honestly if you were going to make a new Castle Faction what would even be your idea for it?- pick an animal- pick a color or two- boom. Castle Factionlike sports teams. some of 'em are cool with neat mascots & themes and some are lame. root for your team. does Lego not watch Harry Potter? that show has only four teams and they are merchandise'd like crazy. I bet Harry Potter wishes they made like 8 teams or more, if they knew how much merch it would push...
>>11884431>does Lego not watch Harry Potter?you have to be +18 to post here

>>11884362Ok where do I get red and green ones? I wanna make a Mars Attacks moc.
Look at this cute motherfucker, why aren't lego doing more Pokemon sets like this? Why the fuck is it all smartshit, statue shit, or pikachu's pegging adventure?
>>11884436Harry Potter is older than you, anon. Hell, the books are probably older than your dad.>>11884460No anon, brick built things are BAD. We only want figs and molded Pokemon.
>>11878812This is a dope set
>>11884460Dunno but whoever designed Eevee did well.IMO this set is decent too, they look alrightThe biggest crime is the big Pikachu and the Kanto Trio one they started with
>>11884460The only set I would buy is a Porygon.
>>11884431>pick an animal>pick a color or twoThe pink naked molerat knights
will this spawn any sets
>>11884498it's terrible that Lego designed their Pokemon sets to include printed eyes and mouths. now, you are locked into the painful game of waiting until Lego chooses your favorite one. you simply cannot MOC your own, and have it match what Lego did.it's the exact opposite of what it should have been. instead of inspiring creativity, it squashed it. and on top of that, the Smart Bricks are locked out of matching anything, ever, unless Lego makes it so.
>>11884362>>11884447Seconded
Man this whole board died. Kinda sad.
>>11884431>souf fc colours
>>11884644Great contribution. Be the change you want to see. Post a Lego you own. You won’t.
>>11884659I don’t own any Lego tho???
>>11883538I have this piece in all the relevant colors and it doesn’t work as that.Or, well, it just makes the double-bladed saber even more cumbersome. Also doesn’t quite look like a lightsaber hilt, as it lacks the greebling of the OG piece.Really, minifigs can’t hold a double-long hilt in two hands anyway, so what’s the point?
Genuinely what the fuck is the point of this? If you but this shit you are the dumbest sheep in the world lol
>set prices higher than ever no one is buying sets after sets self-warming at the aisle as shown in videos after videos>Record profitSomebody is lying...
