this one looks goodbut they just had to use an "angry" mario head instead of the "normal" one
peach...
Suppose I really should've been less specific and just said "nintoddler shit".Oh well, live and learn.
>>11885023Um, where are her breasts?
>>11885025It was an oversight and we’ll all have a crapload of Mario to talk about now… until the next thing… then the next.Space witch bro come post that shit over here again and get us back on track!
>>11885033Same person actually (I never use my own photoes for the OP, it seems narcissistic), but what the hey, I did have one more that didn't fit in the last thread anyway.
>>11885025>live and learn
>>11885036Alright, I walked into that one.
>>11885036When are we getting more Sonic sets?I want another one with my wife's minifig.
>>11885035Bless you.Newfigs still can’t triforce.Love the wand cannon.
Nice moc, bro.
>>11885028Which ones should they have gone with?I agree it’s a travesty.
Is collecting the lego speed champions range worth the money? By that I mean are they fun and cool, not as a serious investment because it's lego.
>>11885092I don't have the space for those big lego technic and creator cars and they're just too goddamn expensive.
>>11885023>>11885028>Um, where are her breasts?in the same alternate dimension as Dr. Beverly Crusher's[sarcasm mode] you see, leaving those breast marks off of the character is, in fact, better for MOCs. since you can now use that pink torso for a male character. with a thin waist. if the breast lines were there, it would be half as useful. for example, Dr. Crusher is the only character with a blue TNG uniform, and should have had those breast lines. they were fine using breast lines on Troi. BUT... you need the generic torso in a $400 set, y'know... for MOCs. instead of making the character accurate to itself, Lego chooses to make the torsos more-usable... for MOCs. besides, kids don't care about breast lines, only the adults care, and they were clearly selling the $400 Star Trek set to kids. besides, we all know who Peach is, and you can imagine those breast lines on her if you want. oh yeah, and don't forget to feel shame properly, you pervert, for wanting breasts on tiny plastic figures. gross. [end sarcasm mode]
>>11885023Why did she need a custom molded head what the fuck?
>>11885115Why do any of them need special head molds? They're human.
>>11885115>Why did she need a custom molded head what the fuck?Mario figures with regular-minifig heads would have contrasted too much with Sonic sets? Lego lacks design standards, even among their own sets.they re-did Woody with a regular head. the probably-true answer is they molded the Mario heads now, so they can sell them, and... later in a few years, they will make minifig-head Mario sets, and sell those to you, too. that way they get double your money
>the mario sets look cool and are affordablewhat the hell is happening
I genuinely want to know what Lego was thinking. I have wanted Lego Mario ever since I was a kid, and Lego City Undercover made me want it more, but when we finally get it, it's ugly shartbrick slop.I've heard rumours that it was Nintendo forcing the gimmick onto Lego, I'd believe it, nu-Nintendo is genuinely scummy and greedy.Unlike Sonic they went out of gate swinging, most of the major characters in the first wave, and variants like boxers (unfortunately not featuring Mario's iconic nipples) and fire Mario and Luigi, unlike Sonic which seemed to ignore outfits and power ups outside of Super Sonic and Shadow.I want all of the figures so I can make a Super Smash Bros diorama.
>>11885128none of these sets support smart bricks
>>11885128Why wouldn't they? Anyone who's unironically enough of a fucking nintoddler to buy this retarded bing bing wahoo slop will gladly pay extra for the privilege of getting shat upon.
>>11885092speed champions imo are some of the best value sets currently available, if you are into cars definitely get them, they are way more affordable compared to other themes and have great builds. the only downside is a lot of cars have a lot of stickers
>>11885028
>>11885019How much have you guys spent in total on bricklink? I just started this year and I think I'm already nearing $2K USD
>>11885139$2000 on individual Lego piecesb-but if you do the math, if you were buying the actual sets, to get the same pieces, you would have spent $30,000. sure, you'd also have a ton of extra pieces, in order to have gotten the few you actually wantedwhat a deal! only $2000 instead of $30,000!the fact that Lego sold you a bucket of plastic for $2000 is not noticed at all...
>>11885139$5k probably. that’s over a 10 year period. But most of it was the first 3 years I discovered it.
>>11885128I actually really like the crab guy
>>11885146Is it supposed to be the crab from the original Mario Bros or is it from something new?
>>11885128Jesus Bowser looks so small, he should be towering over mario,
>>11885019>Nobody gives a shit about anime for mexicans. Or pokemon.Meanwhile>Harry potter is dying.>Star Wars is dying.>DC is dying.Lego needs to catter to otaku chads if they want to survive.
>>11885128Too bad this never happened around the time Odyssey came out there were so many variants. Although it's not like that means they can't or just use old/new power ups. Also does anyone know what color Yoshi is? I cant tell the difference between all the Lego greens. I need to make cursed minifigs with that body.
>>11885146>>11885149they're called sidesteppers
>>11885150We've never gotten a minifig that big before what the fuck did you expect? And we just got brick built ones for years. and a gigantic display one.
>>11885154mario is a midget, he should've had small or medium legs
>>11885156Mindigd are babies so its accurate
When you were kids did you have that one fucking guy in your school or friend who would just lie about the most asinine shit for no reason? The guy I knew lied to me that there were Mario Legos 30 fucking years ago and I never forgot bitch. We finally have them fuck you.
>>11885022angry looks cooler imo, looks like Smash Bros. Mario>>11885014in that case why not just make a 1x2 brick shaped cutout in him , like they do with horse. Then have a brick build solution as a saddle. Or scale Yoshi up a bit so he doesn't have such bizarre proportions. His head looks way too small for his body and his saddle is massive.
>>11885150Bro Bowser hardly has a consistent size across games.
>>11885150He should have remained a brickbuilt figure.>>11885152There's so many outfits from Odyssey, I want as minifigures. I doubt we'd actually get them since I didn't imagine Lego making unique molds for different hats. I'd love a minifigure of classic Mario, Metal Cap and Flying Mario.>>11885156I don't get the scaling either, Mario should have mid legs Luigi should have standard legs and Peach should have the giant dress piece from that one female giant from Harry Potter and if Lego ever made Waluigi, he should use the Woody/Avatar arms and legs.
>>11885020I was lurking for awhile and forgot to post this but if you put a friends 5 petal flower hair accessory in a hat or head if can fit wizard hats. Like this round ball helmet can fit them. (I used a gigantic Belville hat that already has a peg for hat accessories though)
>>11885170Also your blacktron fright knight stuff is awesome Iove mixing scifi and fantasy.
>>11885168>Peach should have the giant dress piece from that one female giant from Harry PotterOk I was almost with you until you said this
>>11885150Bowser looks fine, minifig Mario to bigfig bowser scales nicely. I wonder if we'll eventually see a bigfig style Donkey Kong as well, perhaps with Diddy and Dixie minifigs. I'd go Bananas for a K Rool big fig
>>11885174I thought the height difference was bigger, but you have to admit that Peach should be slightly taller than Mario.
>>11885019Probably best set of the wave
>>11885038Sadly sonic died so we can get mario minifigs
I am being priced out of Lego
>>11885183>>11885184Why can't pokemon do this???
Nintoddlers going to bitch and complain and ruin yet another thread trying to recapture a hint of their glory days.
>>11885189>NOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT NEW LEGO PRODUCTSkys>>11885186they will do so eventually after all the shartbricks waves flop
>>11885180Idk it never bothered me because I grew up before small legs were very prominent. I think I had a Yoda with one shortly before I stopped collecting Lego until I was an adult.
>>11885185You haven't taken the Facebook Marketplace bulk pill yet?>choose well and you can get large amounts of basic bricks in good colours for cheap>wash them, sell the sets/minifigs you don't care about and get your money back>loose random parts encourage creative use and MOCs instead of just building sets>sometimes find some real gems
>Lego Sonic and Animal Crossing dead>Pokémon is shartbricks and displayslop >Lego Mario is actually good and comes with a range of minifigures and playsetsWhat kind of sacrifice is this?
>>11885186>Why can't pokemon do this???were you not paying attention? Lego needs to sell you 10 years of awful Pokemon sets before they offer you exactly what you expect
weegee
>>11885128Why did we need a shirtless Mario minifigure
>>11885195The idea sonic and animal crossing died so mario can inherit their budget is crazy to me, aren't lego like $6 billion in profits every year? Every theme should have a big budget. Killing off sonic makes no sense when it will be even more relevant with sonic 4 and shadow movie and sonic 5 is in the works. We also get shadow knight. Like wtf lego, they better take a hiatus and return big with sonic. Like wtf is lego doing exactly? Sonic is a japan ip so it should be a big part of the japan initiative lego starts in 2027...
>>11885198So he can do cocaine in paradisa
>>11885190You don’t own any lego. You’ll never be a real minifig.
>>11885128>>11885183>>11885184Screw pokemon and sonic, why didn't zelda get this treatment?
>>11885198Because it's funni!I'm disappointed the same set doesn't come with Peach in a bikini.
>>11885203>Screw pokemon
>>11884375>mfw you were right
>>11885201Nigger do you think this general would survive without talks about new sets?
Is $20 a good price for tails vs metal sonic set? Also I think I might get these 2 sets after all, since sonic is ending I might get them. I already have a sonic minifig but he has the eye blink print
>>11885199>The idea sonic and animal crossing died so mario can inherit their budget is crazy to meIt's crazy they cancelled Sonic. There's so much potential they could have done.
>>11885216other sonic characters are too niche for nomies to care about
>>11885199>>11885216>sonic has so much potential trust meLike? I feel they did everything they could that was popular, they were never going to touch glup shittos
>>11885216Sonic is so fucking gay
>>11885220They could have at least made a Perfect Chaos set
>>11885220More Sonic crossworlds sets with Miku and Blaze minifigs. Lego designers LOVE their sets with vehicleshit.
>>11885220>they were never going to touch glup shittosBlaze and the Chaotix are not that unknown.
>>11885226>xhe thinks i'm his french boogeymanAlright, that's enough, i will stop engaging with the troll
>>11885150I keep seeing people refer to this as a "midifig" bowser rather than a bigfigbut what makes bowser any smaller than other bigfigs like hulk or thanos? his feet look like they're covering the same amount of space, and he's even using the same five-fingered hand pieces
I went and redid my dnd set mimics a bit to be a bit more goofy and wacky because i love lego.Gonna start the inn second floor now. Wish me luck.
Guess who joins lego fortnite and won't have a physical minifigure?
>>11885152They're literally doing an odyssey outfit in this first wave
>>11885224Best offer is they make sonic crossworlds a speed champions subtheme
Think I'll just get the sonic car and buy the minifigs from the second market. Most of the sonic sets don't interest me and I can see why it died out.
>>11885225I just wanted a big big fig to go with my frog knights
>>11885232Yeah that's what made me want more lol.
>cracked torso
>>11885234>DUDE, let's put Tails in SIX FUCKING SETS, lmao!>DUDE, let's make a Rogue and Knuckles set but instead of one of the SA2 levels they share let's give them their ICONIC giant mecha and mecha glider, lmao>DUDE, lets waste time making badniks polybags instead of more Crossworlds sets, LMAOYeah, i can see why it died out too.
>>11885241I cant believe they never did anything with Chao. There were tiles with references to them.
>>11885239Oh no no no no, Lego ambassador networkbros, how the fuck do we spin this as a wholesome chungus thing?
>>11885232this shit would have been 10 dollars back in the day
>>11885244prove it
>>118852451 minifigure and 1 brick-built villain
>>11885232They STOLE his NIPPLES
Yoshi should have been a regular minifigure. Why did they have to revert him to his less anthropomorphic version from the 90s so minifigures can ride him?
>>11885249regular minifig would've looked too odd, knex fleshed it out better
>>11885250Kill yourself.
>>11885230blind box brick built monsters would have been great to keep the IP relevant to lego consoomers in between big sets. I actually like the brick built monsters a lot in that set, they give it all the soul that sets it above the standard castle fare. I hope them adding the Dragonborn keychain is proof they want to keep the IP in fan's faces in stores for more stuff later...
>>11885157Cannot unsee this! Holy cursed!
Here's your 4 foot grey blob of plastic that costs twice as much as the last blob of plastic of the same thing we released 15 years ago. That will be $799.99 plus tip (tax) goyimMake sure you also buy our other large grey death star blob for $999.99 plus tip
>>11885272I can see where the clone wars faggots are coming from now. The Venator which is also a terrible set is 1000 times more interesting to look at than that wedge. Pizza slice ship to go with your pizza pie death star.
We got box pics, they look like knockoffs...
>>11885022>this one looks good>but they just had to use an "angry" mario head instead of the "normal" oneLuffy-not-wearing-his-hat says "hi!"(sarcasm: go buy another set you didn't want for a ton of money, of course... duh)

>>11885250Apparently they will be revealed at nycc in october
Sonic died for this...
>>11885285>Anon, pic related is $10, these sets are actually well priced... for onceit's shocking. honestly.thank you to whoever on the planet used one of their Genie Wishes on this. because that's about what it would have taken at this point, for Lego to offer what people expect.
Sonicbros, we actually fucking lost?

>whole thread is nothing but spam and bitching about spamI see we’re back to normal.
>>11885285Lmao, why didn't they start with a $400 Peach castle? Which would have also been the only set for the entire year, of course.Will we finally get good Zelda sets?
>>11885285this should've been a smaller 5 dollars polybag

>>11885128>Another licenseslopWhat license is yet to get Lego Theme ?We already got Anime, Video Game heck even Sport Lego Theme based on official license.The only thing that can be even more ridiculous than Lego Dragon Ball is if they make set based off TADC or one of other indie animated shows
>>11885399It's not much to ask for Castle or Space revival even tho Modern Lego wouldn't even come close capture the same charm older sets had back in the day.Lego really is just License slop now.
>>11885399>TADCToo colorful for nulego
>>11885402You're right.I can't think of any license LEGO hasn't covered yet.Looking back stuff like Angry Bird Lego Theme and Incredibles actually stood up because it was more rare to see Lego themes like this back compared to now when Lego crap new Licenseslop every year.
>>11885407Angry Birds collabing with Lego was random but at least the set had actual play features and good price range.Compared to Lego Mario theme which is just bunch of 4 plus sets marketed as normal Lego sets
>>11885400What chaps my ass is the fact that space, pirate, and especially castle have a huge amount of demand for them. Like literally every bricklink set released is a castle derivative. Why lego can't just officially sell a new castle wave is beyond me.
>>11885410Same reason Funko keeps releasing crap based on Licenses nobody asked for.It's easier to fake innovation and tell your investors your company is profitable when you keep signing deals with other bands
Does anyone have any experience on building partially off the table? I have this elevated monorail track running just off the edge of my table and I want to place this Spider-Man Bridge Battle set underneath it and have the monorail run over the bridge. But an area of approximately 10 studs of the build will be past the edge of the table. The monorail track is 30 bricks up in the air and the Bridge is 10 bricks tall, so I need to build 20 bricks high under the bridge. Is this a really stupid idea or can it be done safely?
>>118854152016-2018 was the point when Lego stopped being Toy Company and became collectible vinyl company.You can tell by the difference between Lego Star Wars set wave from 2016 compared to Lego Star Wars set wave from 2020
>>11885417Sovl vs soulless
>>11885419Everything after the phase out of chrome hilts is souless.
>>11885416there was an episode of Lego Masters show where they made a bridge that held up a ton. literally.
>>11885230Wh-why is the lavender one giving me that look?
>>11885249No, humanoid Yoshi sucks ass so it's good he's not a regular minifig. The problem however is that there was no need to make him have a rideable feature because it only makes him look weirdly stocky and simple when he should have looked like a Jurassic Park dino or Rex from Toy Story. Oh well, maybe it will take some getting used to because he looks good in the front.
>>11885272actually too bigwhat a decadent release
I decided to make a head for the headless at-st, gonna rework the legs at some point.
>>11885416Any plans on modifying the bridge’s colors and such, or removing some of the battle damage?
>>11885022Why not just use regular minifig heads...
>>11885239I like it, it reminds me of SMW and not modern humanoid proportion yoshi
You guys do know that’s supposed to be a saddle not a shell right?
>>11885430Boone! forgot about him. He works at lego now in denmark
>>11885277If you hit the pow block the entire set should fall apart. You could do this by having the studs be retractable.
>>11885458Yeah.... a saddle with no straps, doesn't come off, and all Yoshi's just naturally have....
>>11885472It’s okay to admit you don’t remember the 90s.Why would a dinosaur have a shell?
>>11885365I guess LEGO finally found the footage where he said that he doesn't like or care about lego anymore and thought he would become some kind of famous director of a movie he either abandoned or is still working on. Then he got a reality check shortly after those statements, that doing LEGO reviews was his whole income and quickly became enthousiastic about reviewing LEGO sets again to fuel his junkfood addiction.
>>11885183Not my most hyped kit out of them all but still good.
>>11885022>StickersIts so fucking over.
What are the chances Bowser'a head and shell can come off? I want to try to MOC fantasy monsters with it if possible.
>>11885159He probably meant Nintendo Legos aka Nintendo N&B Blocks.
>>11885184>>11885183What the fuck is up with those smooth shells?
>>11885185>$800 for 6,000 pieces>50% will be 1x1 elements, technic pins
>>11885491>>11885472Because they drew a shell.
>>11885239Pathetic. Also>They didn't just mold the feet so now it looks like he is wearing a onesie.

>>11885579I never was a fan of the ship but could appreciate the old 2011 model and even the newer downscaled version, but this new usc one just looks like crap.

>>11885286The perfect representation of Nintendo fanboys.
>>11885607If it wasn’t originally a saddle they wouldn’t have to clarify and wouldn’t have in house debates trying to talk over each other in interviews.
why don't they sell themed mass minifigure focused sets? surely 20-40 star wars troopers or medieval knights would sell like hotcakes
>>11885615For me its Donkey Kong. Also sex with Daisy.
>>11885636I remember getting pic related. Do they even make sets like this anymore?
>>11885654I got this one, though I don't have the box anymore, I don't think it came in a normal box either just like a bag, I definitely got it as a kid from the ordering magazine, never saw it in storealso no I don't think they do and you can see even that newer one has less figs which is annoying though each one comes with a better "little set" I guess, but I just want figs bro
>>11885636someone at Lego has the idea that...YOU HAVE TOO MANY MINIFIGS(whether or not that is true)if you buy a couple of sets, then a couple more, month after month, year after year. you should have hundreds of characters. you don't need any more. just a few in each set is good. (that's sarcasm if you couldn't tell) don't you already have a hundred Stormtroopers? why would you think we need to include TWO in a new set? you spent like $700 on that Lords of the Rings toilet bowl castle, and we put FOUR soldiers in it! FOUR!!!! c'mon, 4 is enough.
>>11885660Singapore.
>>11885667reeeeeeeeeeeim gonna cry
>>11885667doing it this way you prob get on average like 1 minifig for every $50 spent since so many big sets have low amounts of em

>>11885170>>11885172To which piece do you refer? I mean I guess whatever it is I don't have it at the moment anyway, but my bricklink search game has failed me once again.Anyway, in truth I was hoping for something I could put in a hat pinhole to use with that kind of bubble helmet to start with, but since I had to resort to the bell dome I don't hate it so much. It fits perfectly around that hair piece so she doesn't look bald with sideburns as usual.
>>11885683Applecore.

>>11885493HRT messed up just2good head
I'm a vintagefag so looking at modern licensed shit never leaves me impressed but I feel like I'm going crazy here, does no one else think the heads on the Mario minifigs look awful? I've seen nothing but positive reception to them and while the print quality is definitely impressive I find the actual molds comically ugly on the minifig torso. When doing their own original character designs I think lego is actually really good about creating alternate head molds that look fine on minifig bodies but with licensed stuff where they have to adapt something to the format I think it comes out ugly as fuck in like 95% of cases.
>>11885570It's probably pretty cheap to buy them now.
>>11885747I think they should have just been standard minifig heads but they look fine to me. Then again I also think the only issue with the electronic Mario sets is the price tag and I think brickbuilt things are good so I'm clearly not on the same wavelength as most /toy/ posters.
>>11885742Honor Replacement Therapy
>>11885747I found a 3D model for this fig so I'm going to try and print some.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6948289Also some troon sells injection molded ones.
>>11885860Wonder how some of the space themes colors would look with some of the more odd bricks
>>11885665That set pictured here >>11885654 probably came out in the range of like, 12-14 years ago already. And it was something like $30 at that time. These days, you're lucky to get two, maybe three minifigures in a set that costs that much.They've lost the fucking plot with Star Wars battle packs too, since the "cheapest" ones are now almost $25 (maybe $30, depending on what that new Endor battle pack includes) and they even charge up to $45 for a battle pack that has all of 4 minifigures and maybe two little side builds.
>>11885435Natural selection.Adventurers evolve to be more wary of treasure chests.Mimics evolve to attract them through other means.
glad they went with mario kart world design this time
>>11885128The old Lego Mario line was way better than this shit. Enjoying paying for glorified minifig packs with shit builds attached to them retard.
>>11885283This might be the happiest ive ever been for Lego. As a kid, I've always wanted Lego Mario Kart in this form, but I always had to make whatever I had. I even bought an overalls minifig in some big set just to make my own Mario.

>>11885931I ain't clicking your gay-ass jewtube link sight unseen. At least put in the minimum effort to post a thumbnail next time.
>>11885278I don't like these at all. I bought the merry since it looks close enough, but sold all the minifigures for $45. I just don't like how the strawhats look.
It's been more than 10 years since I have bought a lego set and I'm torn on whether or not I should get this set. It's $28 on amazon and on the lego website it's $60. It's about to retire soon I think but I know once I'm finished building this it will collect dust and I can't disassemble it because it riddled with stickers. Should I pull the trigger?
>>11885959Seems nice. I personally have a few of my builds on my desk so I always mess around with them or disassemble bits for fun. At that price if you want it I don't think you'd regret or hate it really.
>>11885965I've seen the speed champions sets at my local target and they're not big by any means and they're all real cars and roughly minifigure scale. I was also looking at the trains but I thought wow what a travesty and they're gigantic. All the prototypical planes are too small for mini figures.
>>11885959Get it if you get bored of it you will probably be able to sell if for the same price if you keep the box.
$20. Should I?
>>11885984>literally best sonic set>best sonic villain in it>best cute og-character is in it>the plane is cool>should i?gee...i dont know man
>>11885984Where is it $20?
>>11885993Nta, but I just don't like angry tails. Metal is cool though

>>11886013>Like all things these things are fine with moderation>incestAnon… you okay?
>>11885959I got that last year on Black Friday sale for $25 (along with a few more of those double-car sets)Speed Champions is secretly the best Lego theme ever. [blog post explaining why removed]$28 is honestly not toooo much money, especially for a Lego set these days. you'll probably enjoy "the build" and they do make neat little display pieces. when you are "done" with it they can be tossed in ziplock bags for storage and later getting-back-outs.
>>11886019I didn't see that part. Sorry. I still stand by my point though.
>>11885931If it ain’t cabbage girl, I ain’t watchin!
>>11886019Yeah, moderation, like only with your second cousin or whatever
>>11886008Is this pic implying we will get incest-themed lego sets?
>>11885747Yes they look bad. The knex ones look way better.

>>11886088yikes.super yikes.I typically like when you can follow un-named characters in sets.
My bootleg DnD set Inn section is complete somehow and it turned out pretty neato.
But i'm also distraught because i have almost no knight minifig pieces in my collection. Seems i'll be forced to use the dnd cmf's.
Also, i made a very cute slime <3.I'll start the tower section today and see how it goes.

(not even a Dry Bones guard)you couldn't have put two Goombas? two Koopa Troopas?this is that same guy in the meeting who expects kids to have bought every single set, ever. "don't you have enough Koopa Troopas? you'll wind up with so many, you shouldn't care there's only one in that set..." (lame argument, the set should stand on its own)
Bowser airship in summer wave? Will this be the flagship set or peach castle?
>>11886300We need a koopa battle pack...
>>11886300how am i supposed to have mario battle against koopa troops like in the movies when it comes with 1
>>11885619I know most of Mario lore is a happy coincidence but it's just there fitting better as a shell

>>11886091They're bad. Kind of surprised at how many are sucking LEGO off for this shit.
>>11886367Not unless there's Lego Final Fantasy so they don't have to pursue the license from SE, anyway.Not that I mind, SMRPG is almost as overrated as TTYD.
>>11885993>>best sonic villain in itOh shit, there's a hidden Mammoth Mogul? How'd they manage that, he'd have to be a big fig? Maybe it's Enerjak.
>>11885276I have never even understood the appeal of a gigantic overpriced buildable statue of a ship, but you are absolutely right, at least the Venator is slightly visually interesting with some color and good details like the hangar bays. This is just fucking stupid. I will never understand why people love displayslop so much. I would easily spend $200 on a playscale Venator or Executor in the same vein as the 2024 Star Destroyer, but what is the point of an $800 gray slab? It somehow manages to look less interesting and detailed than the midi scale version and you can't even fit it on a shelf like those.
>>11886322They're testing how many paypigs will pay for expensive displayslop
There should be a 2x1 or 4x1 version of this plate already, not fully sure how it would structure test but more brick to technic connectors would be appreciated
>>11886322>>11886493here's a teir list I made of the current situation when it comes to themes notice how all (except monkie-kid and Dreamzzz) are on the top tier, Mario just got into top teir with the newest wave but other than that it's been solid. then you got the tier for all the complex builds and stuff where they're expensive but you'd expect them to be so. everything under that has been in the shitter for years now
Why the fork? i've only ever played mario kart
>>11886495Like do these, with there maybe being a 4 stud version of the stud=pin one, that’s all I request as of right now. Anybody have any opinions on this idea or no?
Seeing nearly 1k grey slabs is making me sad, post your childhood lego spaceship.For me it was this guy. I always liked the two scouting crafts and the engine in the back you can pull out to change the crystals. No idea what "bug" it's suppose to be so kind of weird as an insectoids set but I still think it's a solid ship.
>>11886510Based Insectoids enjoyer, that was the only ship I didn't have from that wave. I could never decide between the spider base and the grasshopper tank for my favorite of this line. My brother and I eventually built a mantis mech using Exo Force joints.
>>11886510KNEELI know you said spaceship but as a kid I would make this fly through the air after playing with it in the tub and realizing that waterclogging all your legos isn't as fun (but even that was very fun), you see all the glowing shit though? it may as well be a spaceship space knifes? space propellers? fuck yeahthe middle pod and right pod would also detach into separate ships so its kinda like a 3 for 1
>>11886505As someone who's played most Mario games, I have no idea. I was confused by that too.
>>11886505So he can fork you up.
>>11886505a hammer would make sense and then the helmet to make em a hammer bro
>>11886305I'm malding as a nintenboomer that the Koopa colors from SMW won't get any figures. How hard would it be to recolor the shell purple and yellow? Making a Paratroopa wing mold would be an OK substitute but I like the classic Super Famicom colored goon squads.
>>11886585SMW doesn't have purple koopasIt has blue koopas and rainbow koopas
>>11886505A way to emulate the movie and how they have those spears?>>11886581I second that. It really irks me how in most art and games the Hammer Bros have a different head, only Paper Mario does it justice>>11886591It's a weird shade that looks almost purplish (especially since other things in the game are a truer blue or purple), at most it could be like the old royal blue from Knight's Kingfom, or the new violet like the Cute Witch minfig.>>11886585It would be even more in point if the koopas and Bowser had orange or keetorange skin, but I think that's way too tied to old art and would look weird with modern proportions.>>11886525It's really weird how close in time Exo and Insectoids were, right? I also had sets in this timerange, and seeing the Zotaxians along the minions from Alpha Team Deeps Freeze made me think the bulb helmets or the insect legs were as evergreen pieces as the space megaphones or the airtanks
>>11886591>bluethe artwork is blue but in game its purple so it doesn't blend into the background
>>11886091It's the molded heads. Those works for some characters, but it looks off to me on these mario ones.
>>11886510>>11886525My brother was the one into Insectoids since I had shifted focus to Castle at that time, he had a few of the sets. Long after I did get a few of the minifigs and eventually built them a couple craft; in my universe they are specialized mercenaries.
>>11886680One is a heavily armed flying craft with both precision and saturation effect weaponry
>>11886682The other is a crawler heavy artillery vehicle, with long-range plasma howitzer and spotter drone; for the right price these guys will crack open the toughest habitat domes and fortified mining stations.
Finally got those Goodwill bags sorted! 73 filled cups, 21 partials, a bunch of minifig accessories and a handful of minifig parts, pretty damn good deal for 90$.
Did the sonic partnership end or was his fat ass booted for mario?
>>11886680>>11886682>>11886686>broken rocket being used for a mace blaster thingNice stuff, got a continually building catalog of odd parts, but think I’ll have a breakthrough soon
>>11886692I meanwhile got 15 bucks of lego with a lot of odd stuff, just drying it before getting a photo
>>11886699they'll probably do another wave after sonic 4 is out
>>11886709No, they won't.It's fucking over.
>>11886711they did a new (but small) toy story wave after toy story 5
>>11886711>>11886713It's crazy. He's not even dead yet and people are starting to ask retard money for some sets and figures. Dimension's sonic went from $20-30 to actually selling in the high $70s and some even 80 now
>>11886525Grasshopper doesn't have the special light snd sound piece but I think it's the best of the series for sure.>>11886528Best aquazone subtheme in my opinion, very small but the minifigs, color scheme, and builds are all great. >>11886680>>11886682>>11886686These are great. I'm a big fan of the theme but have never been able to get into doing any mocs for it as the clash in old and new dark greys always bothers me too much. Lot of critical elements like the legs or the printed slopes bother me with the new dark grey.
>>11886718I feel that with the grey and bley clash but have justified it in my universe as it's a post-apoc setting, can blame the colour differences on wear and tear. Definitely easier to work with other factions that avoid grey altogether though, heh.
>>11886661Officially he's blue, and the Yoshi is blue too. If you want an official Periwinkle Koopa you'll have to harass shiggy about it. The good news is that a blue shell is essentially inevitable due to the Mario Kart subtheme, though you might have to settle for one with spikes on.>>11886680>>11886682>>11886686Zotaxian mercs are an interesting concept. I suppose it makes sense as a group of exiles that they might turn to selling their skills.
>>11886722With the collapse of their hive worlds and colonies devolving into factional warfare between pretenders to the throne, gotta get by somehow in the chaos. Plenty of folks both respectable and otherwise looking to solve their own particular problems; and often the solution to those problems is a simple application of energized violence.
This lil figga turned out surprisingly well. The torso is loose over the hip piece but otherwise they lock tightly enough.Fun fact, the hole on his crest fits a bar.Now I just need some filament close to Lego's green (or some dark green minifig parts).
>>11886510>>11886525>>11886680>>11886682>>11886686I don't know why, but I just couldn't really get into the Insectoid theme. I think part of it is, by the time it came out, I was already 15 or 16 and in highschool, so it came out right at that age for me that toys were starting to become "uncool." I also didn't like their color scheme at all compared to basically every other space theme that came before it.Most space themes seemed to follow a pretty standard formula of one usually lighter color, one darker color, a third color for accents, and then a neon color to pop against the other colors. Insectoids was just dark grey, dark blue, dark green, black, and then neon green.As I've gotten older, I actually kind of appreciate the lore they were going for for them, sort of making them a continuation of UFO guys hiding amongst bugs trying to not get detected, but I can't say the theme overall has grown on me too much more since then. I did get a couple of the smaller sets back then in the late '90s, just because they had some cool unique pieces that didn't really appear anywhere else.I honestly kind of wish they had maybe used these guys in the 2013 Galaxy Squad theme against the buggoid aliens. Even if it was just a reference, like a single Zotaxian minifigure tucked away in one of the buggoid pods or somewhere hidden in a chamber in one of their hives.
>>11886501Ironically, Marvel is probably the only theme aside from Ninjago that actually has small, affordable sets often with multiple minifigures that even kids can buy.
>>11886783You able to test >>11886507 >>11886495? Just having a 3d printer owner itt helps a bit with “new” parts ideas like that
Shame they gave up on octagonal pieces so fast
>>11886825Those parts were pretty much my whole life when I was a kid. I miss aquazone.
>No Blaze, No Big, No Cream, No Omega, No Infinite, No Sage, No Chaos, No Chemical Plant Zone, No Chao or Chao Garden, No City Escape, No whatever those enemies in Sonic Frontiers were, and only 3 Crossworld karts.What we had was pretty neat while it lasted, I guess.

>>11886842>nothing but nuSonic characters were missedNothing of value was lost
>>11886159Since my country's money isn't good enough for lego i'm not allowed to buy and sell on Bricklink so i bought some neat stuff on Brickowl instead.
>>11886842>no Cream, Vanilla and Emerl tea time set>no Chaotix detective office set with Charmy, Espio and Vector bigfig>no Crossworlds set with a Miku minifig>not one set with Rogue and Knuckles in one the SA2 levels they share>no Blaze and Silver set in Soleanna city>not a single Unleashed set with werehog bigfig>no Station Square setIt's like lego went out of it's way to half ass the entire set line and just get it over with. I'm surprised we got anything.
>>11886842Oh boo hoo you didn't get some randos no one cares about. You know I doubt the nintendies will give two shits if lego doesn't make minifigs of Geno, Wart, or the koopalings while you autistic sonic fags will just continue to bitch despite having good sets with plenty of characters already. No one gives a shit about Sonic Rush, Chaotix, or any of those other shit games Sonic Team made after the Genesis.
>>11886893Right on. That’s probably better anyway because then TLG isn’t getting a cut on the secondary market.
>>11886842I thought it was fine. The only bad pick was silver really. I was worried they'd start doing characters based off those horrid idw comics
Is there such a thing as fake or clone kits in lego? I found some lady selling two sonic ones for $20 without box complete with minifigures and all. These sell for quite a bit now. I ended up jumping on it and they look fine, but I really wouldn't know.
>>11886959There are bootlegs, I don't know if the sonic ones would be out yet. Do you mean you've physically got them yet? Check the studs for the Lego logo, bootlegs don't copy that.
>>11886959did they have instructions ?
>>11886979Yeah all the pieces say lego on them>>11886987No, but I'm using the online instructions to rebuild and check everything. So far nothing is missing.
>>11886995i mean people usually throw out boxes, but usually keep instructions, if they are selling a set without instructions is odd?
>>11886997Some normies will even throw out the extra pieces.
>>11886997>>11886999I always threw out the boxes and instructions because I was a dumb kid that thought>Why would I ever disassemble this?Or>If I disassemble this who cares I'm just going to use the pieces to build other shit.Nowadays there's little reason to keep instructions apart from collector value since every book is on the internet
>>11887038they dont take much room and are easy to store,its better to use them than a screen when building, sometimes there is extras on them
>>11886842>What we had was pretty neat while it lasted, I guess.Now that it's over, Sonic was pretty shit. Not counting characters we never got, you think that Lego would have dipped into alt costumes instead of *Sonic and Tails but a slightly different expression*, no Riders costumes, No SA2 alts, not even a classic wave. That would have been cool. Animal Crossing and Mario have alt costumes, why not Sonic?>>11886897It bothers me they went out their way to ignore vehicles and locations that would make good sets. Imagine if Sonic had UCS sets, just slightly alter the Death Star to make a Death Egg or a Space Colony Ark set and include plenty of minifigures or a giant Egg Carrier set, instead we need to give Knuckles a mech, Sonic an RV and Shadow a mech.
Just got my first Lepin set from AliExpress in the mail. I got a UCS tie interceptor for 20 bucks total after shipping. The pink ucs sticker is hilarious
>>11887115>Lepini thought they where taken out of the game?
>>11887116I’m referring to chink knockoff Lego from AliExpress, not the lepin brand entirely
>>11886314Thanks to this autism chart I'm reminded of the Conkdor, and itself reminds me how much Lego and Mario have in common with how easy their design language is to read in the way very distint things are repeated. I mean this by how its shell is just like the spiny and that tells you already you can't jump there. It's the same in how you can understand new Lego molds because of something that's clearly a stud or a bar clip.>>11886662I think Toad hits somewhat of a minifig uncanny valley because his head already looks similar to a minifig's. As much as I would have wanted him to have such common head with a mushroom hat, it would have looked weird next to Mario or Peach's moulds
>24 euros>first two rows used condition but no cracks >third row figs and rest of torsos have cracksWorth it? Been having okayish results super gluing cracked torsos in the past.
Lego should stick to making these smaller car sets for every character. Great price, fun build, an emerald, and the minifig you want to get specifically. No, I won't buy Knuckles mech just for Rouge and it sucks Silver's car has to be bundled with Knuckles monster truck which is not even his signature vehicle nor exists in the game.
>>11887168You are poor, we get it.
>>11887168>his signature vehiclelmaoThe racing game vehicles are every bit as much fanfic as the knuckles mech or monster truck
>>11887168>Knuckles monster truck which is not even his signature vehicle nor exists in the game.Fake fan. It's a power up.>>11887172>monster truckIt's in the game.
We are getting more Sonic sets.Just trust the plan!
>>11887189oh sweet, might just get it then.
>>11887189nuSonic spinoffs are of no concern.>>11887198lol, faggot
>>11887165god its crazy how stingy lego is with releasing generic wizard figs considering harry potter exists
>>11887246true! loved the various random wizards in the lego harry potter game
What are your thoughts on the pick a brick wall?
>>11887291I think it's pretty fun, but unless you live nearby a Lego store you may as well just order parts on bricklink
I love Lego city, the builds are so fun, and it's one of the only main themes where sets are very cheap, many of the old ones are below retail.
>>11887287yeah... but as for harry potter lego sets how many have random wizards? theres a ton of sets but I can only think of named characters
>>11887291one time... they had flowers/stems in there and I got a whole cup of 'em. for Valentine's Day I made a bunch of MOC scenes with me & my GF doing stuff. restaurant, roller coaster, movie, etc, probably 10 things. flowers all over every scene. put 'em all over the apartment for her to find. I thought it was the most epic thing I've ever done (with Lego). a few years later she broke my heart like it was a similar quantity of Lego pieces.so yeah. that's what I remember about the Pick-a-Brick Wall. your experience may vary.
>>11887189The monster truck was added because of the guest characters. They needed something generic that everyone could use. It's silly in the game and silly in lego
>>11886692Hotep's looking awfully pleased with himself. Pretty based of you to upgrade his Egyptian headdress piece from the original yellow one to the newer gold one.
>>11887327ouchbut its cool you could get so many flowers
>>11886842this but more classic reskins than just sonic>>11887168>and the minifig you want to get specificallyit's ok to just want a cmf series
>>11887381Cmfs are kinda random, ofc you can feel and check boxes but at least with these small sets like the star wars mechs and microfighters you get the exact one you want.
>>11885022>>11885128>>11885150>>11885183>>11885184>Finally get actual Mario that isn't gimmick shit>Looks like absolute dogshit>STILL no DaisyIt's never happening. I fucking hate Nintendo and Lego

>>11887461>Daisy only appears in one set>It’s Mario Land 1 with Tatanga
My stores haven't restock any Sonic sets.....
>>11887461She's probably coming next wave. Remember, it took years for smart brick Mario to make Wario and they never made Waluigi.
>>11887461>>11887511Only Mario set i'm going to buy. Hehe...
>>11887287Beautiful pic.
>>11887491If you're in the states check bust buy. I found some of the sets from last year or two there.
Sand green phone
Really just a tossup on what to build huh, anyways any advice for drying lego?
>>11887603I just spread it on a towel and wait. Also move it around once in a while to move the water droplets stuck in deeper bricks.
>>11887603What >>11887611 said. I give them a shake into a bucket first (like a jerking 'peck' motion) to get most of the water out of the inside of a brick first, especially pieces with tubes because water likes to stick in those and not evaporate. Then when I put them on the towel, I make sure that any interior cavity is not closed by the towel, so the moisture in there is exposed to the air. So basic bricks go studs-down or sideways, minifig torsos lie on their backs or front, plates and tiles go upside down. It's not possible to position perfectly for all pieces (eg jumper plates) so you may need to flip some over halfway through.If it's cold, you could speed up the drying with a space heater or hair dryer (from a distance to not blow them everywhere).
My bootleg dnd red dragon set is actually coming along pretty nicely and i'm feeling really confident about the rest of the set.I did have to paint the spiral staircase grey because i only had two of them in brick orange but it turned out pretty nicely, haha.
This is the front part that connects to the inn interior.The quest message board is for the floor below and freed up a lot of space like this while the two pictures are for the upper floor with the bed.
>>11887603Put them in the oven
I also made this guy.He's actually huge compared to the minifigs. No idea if that is canon to dnd or not.
>>11887658Beholders are pretty big, what's it look like next to a minifig?
>>11887665
>>11887668That looks about right to me, they are meant to be terrifying high level monsters.
>>11887653I own the set and it's pretty impressive how close you are able to get to the actual thing
>>11887656Did someone say oven?
why the fuck does the super star destroyer need to be 8000 fucking pieces and $800?The midi scale one is fine, these large scale ships don't need to be so fucking big it's ridiculous, almost $1,000 for a fucking set that could be a couple hundred bucks and still look better and take up way less space. Who the fuck even has space to display all these fuckhueg sets?This is why I actually like the midi scale sets and think there should be way more of them. They look fine, the scale is much better and you can actually display a lot of them.
>>11887696Star Wars line pretty much only exists at this point for them to one-up previous versions of sets. Each new version is higher piece count, higher price, more this, more that. Rumor going around is that the new UCS Millennium Falcon that comes out next year is going to be in the $1000-$1200 price range, because it is supposed to be bigger than the current one, have more of an interior, and have a stand. Once again, one-upping the current one.I also saw a video lately that people suspect the huge sets don't necessarily need to sell that well, as they are literally just a marketing gimmick to get people talking and news/toy outlets generating buzz that "Lego made a big new thing, didn't you hear? It is even BIGGERER than the last BIG thing they did!!"
Did legos abandon the new road base system? i cannot see a single set this year with one. When they first came out legos was shoehorning them into every set.
>>11887687I think i did something wrong with the axe over the door trap. It just kinda stands downright and doesn't really do anything. I'll have to look at the instructions again or maybe they imagined that it slightly goes up and then falls down once you open the door completely?
>>11887699Were they even in sets? I thought they were just sold separately like baseplates.
>>11887698>I also saw a video lately that people suspect the huge sets don't necessarily need to sell that well,there are roughly 1000 The Lego Storesif each store only sells ONE $1000 set, that's a million bucks.how much money does it cost to design, produce, ship, etc... 1000 of the same sets? I don't know, but it's probably a lot less than 1 million dollars. and that's only if each store sells 1 of 'em. there's probably on average, at least 5 rich idiots per store. maybe as many as 20 in some areas. (look at that $650 Pokemon pre-sale numbers that leaked!)I bet, at this point, Lego sees all sets less than $200 as pointless give-aways, like when the drug dealer gives you that first hit for free to get you hooked. almost like a charity. get the kids hooked, they will grow up to buy $1000 of Grey Bricks. Lego probably makes 90% of its profits from those $X00 sets
>>11886510The spaceship I remember most from my childhood was the X-wing that came with Yoda’s hut
>>11887705nah even in the official set that feature is ass and falls over before the door opens 90% of the time. terrible gimmick

>>11887768You post this all the time, and that's great and all, but they are still making more money by selling thousands upon thousands of $20, $30, $50 or even $100 sets. They'll make money off those $1000 sets, sure, but the bigger plan is to draw more attention to themselves as a whole.Even if we took your example and made it crazy and said 10 people each bought that $1000 set, at each of those 1000 locations, that's $10 million, and Lego is in the business of making billions. They make money hand-over-fist, and they literally JUST reported yet another massive profit increase so far this year.
Where in the fuck could I hide a giant lego box from my kids? Until Christmas
>>11886825Why did they take this away from us?>>11886842>Tranny circus>>11886995Sometimes people just get Lego for free as a gift and get rid of it. I usually buy sets like this because the shipping is cheaper just packing all the bags and manual in a smaller box.
>>11887083>they dont take much room and are easy to store,When you have 1,000 sets they do add up. Especially the weight. The only reason I still have the manuals is because the digital PDF instructions are such low resolution.
>>11887168>Lego adds some giant vehicle to pad the price instead of just making little accories to use for the cars like obstacles or stuff to crash throughMany such fucking cases.
>>11887882We need more octagonal parts
>>11887693Where can I get a Charlie Chaplin figure like this?
>>11887850>https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=69958&in=Sinteresting data. you have confirmed by hunch28 sets in total no sets in 2026just one each in 2025 & 2024total roadplate death!
>>11887885Mario did a pretty cool job of making up random bullshit. There's so many settings in Sonic and as far as I can tell the only thing that got anything in sets was a teeny tiny computer for Shadow and Green Hill like areas. There was stuff from other levels but nothing actually part of the set besides characters. Like the biolizard was just the lizard. Missed opportunity.Surfing Mario has random shit but it's a Odyssey outfit, a crab from the OG Mario Bros and Mario Kart and a little cheap cheap beach that that kinda fits Mario kart or whatever
How do you feel about the "conflict in a box" design philosophy of sets since around 04 or so? I see the appeal for younger audiences, but as you get older I feel like the limitation of "both factions need to be represented" makes a lot of sets feel half assed as you either get what feels like two compromised sets or, in better cases, one good set and an absolute afterthought of a side build for the other faction. I grew up with the brand during 2006 to 2011 but find myself not returning to a lot if sets from this period as they usually don't look good to me, the prior approach of mostly just having a main model in a given set and maybe some smaller vehicles that interact with it for flagship sets is a lot nicer as I've come back to the hobby.
>>11886510I cant they're all MOCs I've long since disassembled. I remember using UFO parts a lot.
>>11887906Roadplate bros, i dont feel too good
>>11887951>conflict in a boxthis goes back a long time
>>11887955Yeah but it the minority. You look at 80s and 90s sets and they were usually a main model or, in the case of city, there was a base model designed around smaller but still compleye feeling models. In that set both the wall fortication and the ram feel like complete builds.
>>11887951>>11887959They don't really do it much anymore, outside of like Star Wars and Ninjago. In Star Wars they generally don't care since its usually Storm Troopers and Rebel troopers, or Clones and Droids, and they're all army building all of those anyway, and Ninjago is predominantly for kids and it is a way for them them to get good guys and bad guys all at once.
>>11887699>Make "new" Road system>It's more complicated, over designed and worse than just fucking doing plate style again
Doubt anybody remembers but like [two years] ago I MOC'd and ordered for a custom build for a friend, who within the following week went psycho on a friend group so we all ended up blocking themNow i'm stuck with a MOC because Bricklink faggot refused to answer or even read messages even ones made next day of order (I had gotten wrong parts in the order)I found the box that contained it all and was going thru it the other day, and numerous parts are just not thereSo it WAS incorrect and missing shit anywaysI'll order the parts needed but if I wanted to build it complete, break it down and bag would I even be able to clear it somewhere? Or think it'd be too specific/niche to merit asking anything over like $60 at best if i'm lucky
>>11887877In your ass?
>>11885272The one piece I want from this obscene waste of money and space.
>>11888128LMAO those flat circle tiles are notorious for cracking. good luck!
Confederate armor (and gunship)
>>11888140Nice cat.
>>11888143Gunship is the cat.
Why would i buy a two meter long, ugly, grey star wars monstrosity for 1500 dollars that i can't even play with? It's only going to collect dust.
>>11888169I have a bunch of shit sitting around I need to put together, just have to find the right time to
>>11886300All the pieces to make a virtually identical goomba already exist. There's absolutely no reason I had to make custom pieces for this. Lego is so lazy.
>>11886719Love the colorscheme
Gonna be fun to put it together
how is everyone enjoying the best set/s of the decade? i just got the hook crane myself and it's pretty neat
>>11887951what conflict?
>>11888243You need to iron that sail
>>11888227I was gonna meme but then I remembered this shit was like 2014-2015 or somethinSo it has indeed been over 10 yearsSo welcome back Power Digger
>>11888169Because lego expects you to be a 40 year old manchild with nostalgia for a gay franchise about gay space wizards that talk to stupid muppets
>last sonic sets that retire in july 2027 are shadow mech and tails tornado>none includes the title character>all sets that include sonic retire by end of this yearWtfI legit don't get why they have to retire the theme, make it even smart play if you have to keep it alive
>>11888268Why are they retiring it? Did Sonic flop?
>>11888269>>11888268Nintendo demanded Sonic sets retire for the Mario relaunch.
>>11888268Of course the theme went fast. Its Sonic.
>>11885272Yeah I'll just be binging my wahoos and buying old parts on Ebay thanks.
>>11888243This looks like something from Time Cruisers I love it.
I have displayslop fatigue.
>>11888268>No cars for Tails, Amy, Rouge, Shadow, or Metal Sonic.At least move the theme to Speed Champions.
>>11888292That's the most bizarre one because lego designers LOVE their vehicleshit and almost always turn 90% of every single line into it but despite there being aSonic racing game out now they just made two entire sets while half of the numario line is in fact mario kart sets?
>>11887287is the head this one with the eyebrows and moustache erased? It's quite delightful, I with lego made more neutral faces. They look especially great in the classic style.
>>11888282>Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! Gotta go fast, gotta go fast, gotta go faster, faster, faster!
>>11888298it is, it looks good on knights too
>>11888298>Deutschland über alles
>>11888313I can't believe Brickler has fl*shies fighting for him.
>>11888298Save vintage pieces by putting waterslide decals on blank heads instead.
>>11888371>fighter pilots
>>11888371Historically accurate
>>11887877>Where in the fuck could I hide a giant lego box from my kids? Until Christmasif you are buying giant Lego boxes for your children for Xmas, you must have a huge mansion. just pick a random closet from your 50 closets. or the trunk of one of your 20 cars. then all you have to do is hide the keys to that car. keys are a lot smaller to hide. or just hide them at the actual store, by not buying it, until actual Xmas.hide them at your buddy's house. make sure they are not beyond the temptation or forgetfulness to claim it as their own. (did I buy this? why else would it be in my closet?!)
>>11888095Let me guess, your friend became a tranny.
>>11885272Genuinely one of the most overpriced sets Lego has ever made. No figs? Also by the look of the studs it isn't even that big.>>11887877Does it fit inside a suitcase?>>11888400It's kinda crazy how many people the Zionist Machine tricked into joining Brickler.
>>11888227Got two of them but need to put them together and then mix and match with the other two technic sets I got for parts tinkering
