I'm not into Ninjago but this looks pretty awesome if not for that ridiculous sprice. It looks like a $150 set
How did monkie kid fail if they keep churning these out?
>>11936214>Statue editionThose banana guy's arms are very articulated whether Lego likes it or not.
>>11936221>acshually
City really was just putting out complete bullshit for like 20 years straight between World City ending and the new Arctic sets in 2023
>check jang's channel>still no godzilla review
>>11936223Yes. Very much so.
>>11936224there is literally nothing wrong with that set.
Post your lego porn itt. Used the buzz droid eyes for boob texture
>>11936225I can't decide what I hate more, the beady lil eyes or the lack of any teeth.
>>11936227It looks like shit is what's wrong with it
>>11936230if it only used classic colors and had a smileyface you would be calling it soul overload
>>11936224this was kino. way better than r*ck r*iders and p*wer m*ners
my favorite """City""" set
>>11936228what species is she?
>>11936231Tilting at the wrong windmill retard, I don't give a shit about classic town City was soulless garbage until like 3 years ago when the designers finally realized City sets are actually allowed to look good. Seeing sets like picrel really exposes how abysmally lazy City sets had been for the previous 2 decades. Incredible build, incredible detailing, 100% solid and playable.
>>11936238For comparison, this is the previous backhoe from just a few years earlier (!!). 2 fucking ratchet hinge bricks for the backhoe. Dogshit.
>>11936238>300 piecesabsolutely dystopic. kids will never want to take it apart because of how tedious it would be and even if they did it would be a struggle to turn it into anything else because of how overly specialized the pieces are. that set represents everything wrong with modern lego
>>11936234>le city truck face (5 billion trucks with the exact same front bumper award) >same dogshit tiny wheels that stick out past the fender they've used for 20 years >giant red knobs so retarded 3 year olds know how to use muh play features >dogshit ass giant rock pieces using up 80% of the budgetthese suck ass man, sorry to break it to you
72 pieces
>>11936244>dystopicFeel free to come back when you can speak English>kids will never want to take it apart Skill issue I was rebuilding shit with well over 300 parts as a kid
small family company please understand
>>11936250Notice how much better the helicopter from 2005 looks than the ones City was putting out 8 years later
>>11936250the 300+ part sets you were taking apart and rebuilding as a kid had 5x the substance and actual generic pieces that could be useful for all sorts of builds
>>11936255>NOOOOOO children can only build from 2x2 bricks!!! If I see one more technic pin I'm gonna shit myself!!!!!! The sets I was building with as a child were Star Wars shit with a dozen single-use Star Wars molds per set If you're too retarded to find a way to use the X-wing engine or Tie fighter cockpit canopy, that's on you
>>11936259If bricklink wasn't down I would tell you to compare the part inventory of those sets to that new digger
>>11936219only the chinese are buying it iirc
>>11936237I am not sure. Give them a name.
>>11936218this is objectively a pretty awesome build.I love the vine pieces used for detailing and the 1 x 1 clip pieces on top of skaters to make those cool ornamental pillars are also super neat!also the Duncan figure is using a recolour of Kai's hairpiece which is a good thing because people kept fearing that piece wasn't around anymore and was replaced by the version with the headband so that's nice.
>>11936236I never saw that rattle snake before that's awesome
>>11936236>fuck ton of crime>barely any housing, most people probably live in their cars or at their work>ancient cursed ruins with man eating plants on the outskirts of the city>a man has literally always fallen into the river no matter the time of dayIs Lego City just a shithole to live in?
>>11936280>just went to Orlando and all I saw was a bunch of roller coasters and gift shops. Does everyone in Florida just live in their car or something?
>>11936253when websites or servers need maintenance it doesnt matter how "large" or "successful" a business is. its fixed when its fixed.
>>11936288When was the last time you saw Amazon or Steam down for the weekend for server maintenance
>>11936289AWS servers have major outages that affect themselves and thousands of businesses several times a year and Steam goes offline for like an half an hour every single tuesday for regular maintenance. You can just google this stuff you know. You can also use google to find other sites to buy Lego from in the meantime while they fix the server. I hope this helps! (:
>>11936293"half an hour every tuesday" is not the same as "half an hour every night and also an entire weekend now and then" Normal websites do not go down for maintenance for several days at a time
>>11936296>why cant i drive my car while the mechanic is working on it?The reality is you can't do anything about it no matter what the issue is so get over it.
Remembered Tie the Lego Guy and now I'm sad
>>11936219Monkie kid was yet another retelling of Journey to the west, a tale that chinese people find cliched at this point
>>11936320Meanwhile dragon ball set on backorder
>>11936244Why dont any bootleg company just go after the classic lego aesthetic?
i'm really angry nowevening today i was bored and disassembled part of 8455 and reassembled then i realized i fucked it up at some of part. (misassembled 2 parts and 2 wrong pneumatic hose management)bottom pic is properly assembled through instruction. both functioning properly. but bottom one is correct one
I had no idea it was a space subtheme, I just assumed they were a regular underwater theme not unlike City's Deep Sea Explorers or Town's Divers
>>11936214Why would anyone buy that trash?
powerful
>>11936384>male head>M-troon
>>11936384>my powerful girlfriend, HER robot and...there is this little thing at the background (me)Why american couples are like this...? like there is always one person who has to be the "stupid" or "smaller" one...Even if it's a trans-couple... You think if it's an lgbt-couple both of them will be in the center and equal.yet you can see who is the "boss" in this relationship...
>>11936380I thought they were one of the first attempts and expanding themes outside of Space, Town, Castle, and Pirates.
>>11936389its perfectly normal to highlight and aggrandize your partner if your making what's supposed to be a dedication to them.
>>11936384That black hair piece kind of looks familiar
Last week I organized my Lego again. Gathered up all the jars and bags of bits, scavenged, found, and even bought. Turns out I have more than I thought. Even got a label maker someone was throwing out because the batteries has leaked out. Easy clean up and fix. Kind of hoped it was in cyrillic but no. Build speed has increased and much more enjoyable now. Attempting now to rebuild one of the worst speed champions cars in terms of playability. That set just falls apart to easily when pushed across a floor and crashes into a wall or table leg. Still missing some bits for I guess I have some looking to do.
>>11936407>carshit
>>11936411>>carshit>>11936407Speed Champions is starting to creep out of acceptable price-range but it's secretly, quietly, been the best Lego theme in recent years:-best blend of kinda-close to the car it's trying to be, yet still somewhat "Lego" (most of them)-each one has a unique Minifig, usually with a rare hairpiece or new colors of basic ones (as the prices creep up, I wish they'd have more than 1 per set, but at least the ones they include are high-enough-quality)-did you notice that it's a throwback to yellow minifigs being the standard? sure when they do a James Bond Speed Champions it's a fleshie Bond, but... the other cars are "real" cars (arguably more real than say, James Bond's car) and thus, they should have fleshie characters, too. but nope! yellow figs! I personally wouldn't mind, but I know it's important to some people to maintain yellow neutralityokay there are a bunch of stickers (I still feel like it makes them closer to glue-models with the slide-decals experience) and some of the build techniques are of the "smell my own farts, aren't I so great!" level, but you can't blame the designers for wanting to showboat sometimessorry it was a Saturday and I guess I was in the mood for a blog post. hope you enjoyed my thoughts about>carshit
>>11936384Why is he sharing this this time of the year? Is it because of being an Argie? They do pride parades this time of the year
>>11936218I saw the trailer for their "anime"-like show and is this the first lego original minifigure theme that uses designs that are completely removed from minifigures? I doubt they want to split the market, but it does have me thinking about proper figures using the designs. I doubt lego would do it in house, but they don't really have a history of licensing their themes for toys, so this is probably going to remain just a random thought.
>>11936418Some of those building techniques make my head spin for how complex they are. The only Speed Champion car I got just to use as it's car is the first Bugatti. I liked the look at the Sandman Slim Books had a great description of it in the second one. "This thing had more technology packed into it than the Hadron Collider. It looks like if Hugh Hefner designed the space shuttle. Luke Skywalker would have been conceived in the back seat of a Bugatti, if it had a back seat." I got one or two others, but because there is a rebrickable designer out there who comes up with about a dozen rebuilds per car. If I see some builds I like, I buy his instructions and the set.
>>11936380>>11936390afaik it was never 'officially' a space theme but early development of it leaned in that direction, especially with the abandoned 'sea peoples' theme
>>11936367You have no idea what you are talking about
>>11936407I’d be happier if you posted some bricks in the dirt.Where you been gypsyanon?Still on the scavenge?
>>11936485enlighten me, because I've only seen chinese looking shit
what are you anons doing in the great bricklink outage of 2026?
>>11936624I dont use bricklink, used bricks are disgusting
>>11936624>a small family company please understand
>>11936214>throating a blue dildo
>>11936214explain
3 ideas that have been 100% approved+2 in the "parking lot" meaning lego is keen on making it happen but there's a lot to sort out(licensing, etc) so there's a chance it won't happen and if it does happen it will take a long time
>>11936688I changed it to fag instead of faq and the retard that “fixed” it didn’t bother to axctually fix it and it’s been copy and pasted a hundred times since then. Which was my whole point in “vandalizing” the links in the first place. Why would anyone care if it says fag because no one ever clicks on those links.
>>11936380>>11936390I was never really into this theme but I picked up an almost full collection of the first wave for a steal recently (plus some other stuff like Spyrius, Insectoids, Paradisa, Soccer)I'll post photos when I get the chance
>>11936475Its kind of nebulous to me. I never saw it as a space theme as a kid, and never really heard anyone refer to it as such back then. On top of that, there were regular-ass animals like sharks and octopi in some of the sets, so I never really took it that it was any place other than Earth.
>>11936585Yeah and? How is that relevant? It's not a bootleg because its Chinese?
>>11936688Frenchies are predators, more at 11.
>>11936624>BREAKING: U.S. intelligence sources report the BrickLink outage is the work of Tehran-aligned MegaBloks insurgents. Israeli officials have called for an immediate military response, warning that prolonged disruption could trigger catastrophic volatility across international minifig markets.
I'm a tourist, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question or not the right place to ask. Is brickowl a legitimate place to get pieces? I ask because the prices I'm seeing are... a lot less than I would expect for some parts.
>>11936712>even more displayslop
>>11936800The 5th Element and Interstellar ships are at least small enough to play with or swoosh around. At least they aren't like 4000 piece UCS-tier sets that are a giant lump to set on a desk never to touch again.
>>11936800I masturbated so many times to the scene from that game where they're tribbing.
>>11936350That's the version of journey to the west for westerners (mexicans), no-one in china is gonna buy dragonball stuff.
>>11936531Why would you want gypsyanon back? His whole thing was incredibly fake and gay.
>>11936828Nah I believe him. I called his ass out too at first but I’ve talked to him and he seems legit.That is him btw.>>11936407I’ve got the hyper ‘tism for written word and speech patterns plus I recognize his pudding tubs.
>>11936214Ninjago anime announced, season 1 said to have a runtime of 11 minutes per episode, unknown how many episodes yet. Series made for 12 year olds and up. It's set centuries in the future after DR, said to be canon until writers decide to contradict it in the future, but for now its canon.Legends: Embers + Ashes | Teaser Trailerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9izcokE_v0k

Does anyone know of any cheapish third party star trek minifigures? Haven't been able to find anything.

Just found out that one of my mocs has been stolen off rebrickable, has multiple listings on Aliexpress and has sold 30+ copies.Meanwhile my $3 instructions has just sold 3 copies lol.

I'm starting to get into the holiday spirit so I wanna buy some Christmas-themed sets, is Santa's Holiday Sleigh Adventure and Holiday House still the only non-decoration/statue sets available? Are there any more coming this month or December?

>>11937058I like Legobut.......[epic rant removed. something about Luffy's Hat, $X00 not-for-kids sets, stingy few Minifigs per set but they had to stop at some point, lack of classic Castle and Pirates, and probably a dozen other things I'm too lazy to fremember and list]it's crazy that all the flaws with Lego are solved by the actual thing. basically if you'd rather have something else than what Lego is offering, you CAN INDEED build that out of Lego.
>>11936637You can buy plenty of new and sealed stuff there thougheverbeit.
>>11936945>PicardPress Q to qapla'.
>>11937096Propping Lego up as a "medium" is exactly why Lego is in the position it is in right now. Lego is a children's toy, nothing more.
>>11937151medium is really not some prestige term. it very much is a medium whether you like it or not, not unlike something like modeling clay
>>11937058I like the retro sets, and have collected a few of them. Planning on getting a second cabinet hand me down to put the rest of my collection in.That collection includes:Deep Freeze DefenderFort LegoredoHydro Crystalation StationGold City JunctionMidnight TransportShark's Crystal CaveSkull's Eye SchoonerSpyrius Robo-Guardian

Did anyone get the retro batman gwp? Wasn't available for me in aus.
This genuinely looks like dogshit, why are people losing their mind over this?
>>11937345It's from the NES game. The only way to get this is a $90 exclusive deluxe video game that doesn't even come with a real cartridge. I'd rather buy the big Batmobile and get the fig for free because everyone knows the game will be $20 soon.
>>11936214Can i still get the batman gift with purchase online? Or did they sell out already

>>11937482>it's me, the head of Lego. We've decided for 2027 to completely disregard stockholders, the market, and all these licenses we've gathered, and go all in on retro Lego themes from the 90s like Aquazone, Paradisa, ResQ, Insectoids, Bionicle and more! It's going to be a renaissance!

>>11936985That train is such a downgrade. Why couldn't they just keep supporting the one from 2016?
>>11937058I like lego but its impossible to discuss it on /toy/ now, its either the angry schizoanon samefagging angrily all thread or just a series of shill posts with no discussion. Plus I hardly have room for new sets anymore so i've massively dialed down my spending.

I got the Mos Eisley Cantina and Yodas Hut off Amazon because they were basically almost 50% off. I'm not surprised Shart Bricks™ did so poorly that they decided to sweep it under the rug and focus on Pokemon shart bricks functions. I haven't opened them because I'm waiting for black Friday to see if they drop even further. The thing is I picked up the Yoda box and realized it's like 450 pieces or less and they were selling it for like $80? That's insane. Lego is seriously so out of touch. It's also annoying how they boast the play features and the back of the box says "SHART BRICK NOT INCLUDED" in a big yellow warning label. Like what the fuck. It's not like the figs even have advanced computer chips inside like Small Soldiers, they are literally metal coils with a basic ass "processor". There's no reason for this to be so expensive.>>11937353I think they're sold out. Which means I missed it. If you can still find a sealed copy of the deluxe game it might be the only way to get it now.>>11937544I really like the Christmas one but it was expensive and the moving part feature didn't work well (maybe because I had the old power functions and not the new ones?) also I didnt particularly like the powder blue look but it grew on me. This year they also have a green locomotive which I'm going to get and try to power function it. But I think the batteries are still out of stock because of supply issues (thanks Obama) which has me thinking of just buying a (now retired) current train set that has the pieces. Either the snow heist one with the NOT Johnny Thunder one or the other police heist one. Maybe if I was a kid I would have loved this crap but I have yet to buy one of the sets that has the brick. I just wanted more pieces for my Star Slop MOCs.
They're going to drop the DC/Batman license and just put everything in Marvel and Anime.
>>11937706Batman is way too profitable for them, they will probably just stick to Batman as the core theme and sprinkle other DC stuff into that theme when they need a break from sets based on Batman villains.
>>11937543It feels like I basically gave up already, like 95% of all my lego purchases are old sets from 10 or more years ago, and the remaining 5% is stuff that I always have to "fix" because tlg just can't help themselves from shoehorning diversity/representation crap, or just bizarre design choices that somehow managed to get greenlit.It sucks but it is what it is.I really, REALLY do not give a single flying fuck about ninjago.

>>11937690>and the moving part feature didn't work wellWhich moving part, the funnel or the polar bear?
i forgot to mention if you buy 3000+ piece set, you have to own it forever. you need 20+ plastic bags at least. 3-4 days to disassemble if you want to sell it to someone.i'd bet no one wants do that shit
>unable to work on MOCs in Studio because Bricklink is down and the only way I can remember part names is to find a set I've seen it in and check the parts list
>>11937847why the fuck does it need Bricklink to be online just to use it?
>>11937849It doesn't, I'm just too retarded to find parts in Studio without having bricklink open to check the name
What do we think of the modern style of brick-building chairs, seen in a lot of historical sets like the medieval town square and LKC and recently in the Mayor Manor? Is it soul or soulless to replace the classic Lego chair piece with these new designs using modern pieces?
>>11937855I think it is fine. There are some interesting parts usage to make some furniture, but they've been doing brick built furniture for a long time. Like, they've always brick built chairs, beds, dressers, bookshelves, etc. in the modular buildings for ages, it just seems like they're carrying that over to more regular sets now.

>my brick opinions does the wasted potential of nexo knights video>mfw we find out lego considered a bionicle minifigure reboot in 2011Insane stuffhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=g170h2chP64Anyway, it does make a point, if nexo was released around 2012 it would've been a hit.Now lego is investing in anime.
>>11936834I bet Master Ivo is gonna be the twist villain of the series, this guy looks like he might be Oni. Maybe he is a descendant of Lloyd.

Did any of you participate on the marvel x star wars crossover challenge on ideas?
>>11937930I tried but my idea was rejected because there was a minimum 400 piece count. I don't remember seeing that anywhere but I guess I'll have to beef it up and try again
>>11937939Should do it fast then because you can submit until 12th>>11936834Imagine if exo force had an anime like this, this series does feel more exo force like we have more mechs than other vehicles...
>>11936834Why are they so... sexy?
>>11937952>you can submit until 12ththank goodness I didn't "wait until the last minute" (d'oh!) and I already downloaded the program and got a chance to mess around with it (though it's still a little struggle figuring out how to add pieces inside the model argh)bringing back old feelings of school paper reports, but like... in a fun way? lol

First pass at upgrading this locomotive. Had to remove the prop motor to move the battery box backwards to fit the larger cab
Apparently we are getting a DnD theme in summer 2027, I spoke to a lego store manager and said how cool it would be if lego did more with dnd license (all started because of the dragon paladin keychain) and he said he heard there will be new sets next summer, like a lot of them and will have a game and have some packs like army builder packs (sort of like a cmf but for dnd theme)He also said smart play gets global release

NuLego sucks.
>>11938095>NuLegostep 1 - buy bricks in a setstep 2 - build whatever the heck you wantNew Lego = Old Lego just being snarky, I know what you mean. I'd really like to see Lego try more original stuff, too. at least they could offer the hair pieces in a bunch of colors and torso prints so we can build some pirate and castle (or whatever) stuff ourselves y'know(and NOT in crazy un-affordable sets!)
>>11938012impressive. now post the environments
>>11937952>Should do it fast then because you can submit until 12thokay. done. that was a fun day (sarcasm) y'know when you thought something was finished, and then you discover you have a ton more work to do? that.I just assumed Lego would add a zillion pieces themselves when they professionally re-edit my model.

>>11938549Glad I'm not the only one who thought so. Probably the most sets I owned in one theme in over 30 years.

Recent FB marketplace haul
>>11938597JFC mogging the entire thread with that haul
>>11938579Damn, killer haul. Those small black feather plumes alone go for like $40 alone and you got two. Those printed shields and the horse barding also have started going for quite a bit, it's insane how expensive castle building has become and lego still refuses to make a new proper castle theme.
How did they fuck it up? This theme had so much potential...
>>11938627probably 100 reasons. you want a list?top-tier villain groups but the heroes were colorful and lame. and it felt like a forced "New Ninjago b-but like, the Castle version!"
SOVL
>>11938635>top-tier villain groupslol
>>11938597Ink quill
>>11938612I got scammed when buying pic related so it feels nice to finally get a decent haul. Seller advertised the sets as complete they arrived with missing parts and mixed old and new grey.
>>11936531>>11936828>>11936830I still do the scavenging but it’s been pretty dry lately. The few bricks I have found were fakes and not worth posting about. They have also closed the flea market down and moved it farther away. I have only been to the new location once and it was pretty new and few people were there. But don’t worry, I’m still out there saving as much orphan Lego as I can.
is brickowl a legit alternative to bricklink?
>>11936828What do you mean back? I never left. You may not notice me but as a professional scavenger I find that’s a good thing.
>>11938699No.They don't even have half the listings/amount of sellers compared to bricklink.Unless 90% of the bricklink user base moves to brickowl, it's strictly worse by a lot.
Any chance of the City theme ever producing a miniature train ride set or is that too much of a specific, niche thing to even consider? I'd imagine it would be vastly cheaper compared to a regular train set and would easily hold more minfigs.
how is /ourgirl/ holding up with the bricklink apocalypse? she makes a living selling on it
>>11938732She’s been shilling a site called jpfans lately for used Lego. I checked it out and it does have some good deals. As usual though beware of the shipping costs. Their deal is they combine orders from multiple sellers into one box and then forward it on to you the buyer. So if you like some Japanese Lego stuff it might be worth a try.
>>11938750everyone is shilling jpfans at the moment
>>11938730>a miniature train ride setsounds like a cool polybaga little train car with a couple of 1x6 track pieces.just keep buying as many as you want to make the train longer
>>11937058I do, frankly.
>>11938550>>11938699>>11938721I can't believe bricklink is fucking dead.
>>11938686I know that feel, when I ordered my own copy of 6066 camoflaged outpost the set was missing several pieces snd a minifig. At the very least the black trim forestmen with his plume was included so I begrudgingly didn't bother reaching out to the seller. Sucks how much of a crap shoot buying old sets are.
>>11938750I was surprised how many Japanese people like lego, I've found a number of Japanese mocs and collectors on twitter. I knew they were sold there but just assumed they were a minor niche.
>>11938806Wait, are you telling me Lego, a multi billion dollar toy company, the world's largest toy company, 68% of Denmark's Gross Domestic Product, is actually run by impulsive morons?!?! Get fucked Lego. Smart Brick was fucking stupid, STOP TRYING TO BECOME NINTENDO, and focus on your declining quality control.
>>11937390>had this on display at the bar I worked at for several years in direct sunWonder if this happened to the girl who owned it after I left.
>>11938806Probably had the issue 4chan did last year, super outdated code. Except Bricklink really felt like it hadn't been updated since the Bush administration. They're probably rebuilding the site from near scratch after a super invasive AI trawl hit the site and forced a backdoor.

>>11938806Bricklink refused to pay the cartel’s ransom for Tie. Now we’re all paying for it. Twice.
Is Lego really trying to push an agenda on us or are some anons just being paranoid and delusional? Because I just don’t see it.

>>11939246impressive
>>11936214I resisted buying lego out the ass during my adult life and even gave my old ones to actual relative kids so I'd have an even bigger barrier to entry to keep myself from getting more, since I know what a massive money and especially display space sink lego can potentially be- and now finally slightly cracked and bought something small (onions wars). Any advice from people who have actually been into lego actively?Specifically, I'm now in the phase where I'm obviously scouring shitholes like ebay and every online store feverishly thinking about the few things I actually know I want to own- and obviously all of them are long retired, older sets that are now insanely expensive to get sealed or potentially not nearly as fun to buy used from some smelly shitalian that inevitably forgets to include some part that I don't have any leeway to replace myself on atm with my lack of collection. Especially for Star Wars, am I better off just waiting for lego to once again recycle concepts like the podracers/ specific movie sets like anakin's jedi interceptor or do I just bite the bullet and look for used stuff and beg for the seller to at least disassemble it fully before packaging so I get to build it myself?I did find the 25th anniversary mos espa pod set even locally though but it seems pretty overpriced for what it is.
Apparently we get reveals today for city, marvel, technic, cutelings, star wars, minecraft and probably ninjago, so be prepared lads
As a thank you to my one fan I walked past a few trash bins on the way to the veggie stand this morning. The pay off was this lone Lego brick hoping for a new chance at life. Come with me my little new fren, we have big plans for you.
i think about why lego releasing only big expensive display set.because, most of people only assemble 2-5 days per year so it's more benefit to just sell large chunk. most people are lazy to disassemble and make set to another model (like technic 42043 for example which have 2 models in 1 set) and they don't delve too deeply into Lego.
>>11939252>to my one fanHey that’s me! You keep living the life you gypsy stalking son of a bitch! Ignore the haters they with they touched grass or played with toys.
>>11939248So help me God! If those are stickers and not prints, I will be so disappointed I might cry.
>>11939251>3 actual sets and 4 displayslop pieces of shitAt least the actual sets look very good by LSW standards (which are way below original theme standards). The build on the Mustafar duel is kind of shit but the figures are really good so I don't mind making a MOC or alt build of something better to put them in.
Creator best theme
>>11939250Get comfortable purchasing used incomplete sets and parting out the missing parts on bricklink. Buying unopened retired sets is a terrible financial decision for what you get. And as far as new Lego products, the prices are getting ridiculous too it's not much better. What brings you the most joy? "Star Wars" or even "[specific star wars movie/series]" is too broad. Have a focus, don't fall into the collector trap of needing to catch them all because you never will. Stick to cream of the crop highlights that nourish your soul and nothing else
>>11939279Yeah that's mostly good advice for sure and honestly exactly what my collector life has been as an adult anyway, which is partly why I've avoided lego because I feel like it would be a bit too easy to fall into that "le army builder" mindset of hoarding. As for bricklink (which is down now that I tried to open it for the first time in ages), honestly I've never used it and the one time I considered it, it seemed really convoluted and weird compared to the average store platform, but depending how deep I'll get back into lego I guess it's inevitable
>>11939262>If those are stickers and not prints, I will be so disappointed...looks pretty close-to-the-edge to be a stickerI'm more worried about Lego cheaping-out on the paint and they will look all washed-out and fadedwhat are the chances concept art Luke will NOT have a washed-out face??? Lego knows they can't print on a black surface what were they thinking approving this???

It's just gonna be 3 generic ones so your limited in what you can build.
>>11939512>City space is back?no, notice how they even scrapped the space logo in the box, it's just a regular city set lumped with everything else using the city space color scheme
>>11939512>no chance that the tags are gonna be customisable right?Lego will NO WAY allow people to customize the tags. that's just common sense. they need to have control over the output. even the simple-est person can see the "harm" in programming it to say swear words (as garbled-up as they might be lol)it will take a third party "compatible with leading brands" thing to allow tags that will play custom tunes or sounds, or other things. I don't know if that's possible or if anybody cares to do it yetironically, if such a thing DID exist, I would be a lot more excited to try it out
>>11939340literally only the first piece is potentially interesting if those are anti-studs on either side, rest are slop
>>11939387>earth mech battle suit>protected mech pilot praise the maker
>>11939540I meant more like having a bunch of presets in the smartbrick app that you can load onto the tags, but I doubt they would do that since they're trying to pretend the smartbricks are appless (they're not).

>>11939250If I want an older set, I will simply get it. If it's not outrageously price for new/sealed, I will get it new and sealed. Else it's tracking down a good 2nd-hand option, or buying all the loose bricks separately and building the set out of that.Lego will NEVER release blue TIE's again so waiting for one is pointless.Also if you just prefer the older sets and their charm of having a simpler design you are also forced to get the older ones.I know new/sealed prices can be crazy, but do not forget that you're often essentially paying for a pristine 20-year-old time capsule.A lot of shit is definitely way too overpriced though because of "limited supply/popularity".
>>11939352oh shit a new scarlet spidey
>>11939747That’s not the next lyric.
>>11939380Ship looks like it could be good. Want to get a better look at it beyond a blurry image before I decide if I get it or not. But the black car in the police escape set under it looks like it might be cool as well. From what I can see it might be shaped a bit like Best Jeanist's car. Too bad it isn't the single packaged car rather than the cop car or the monster truck.
>>11939380The longer I look at this, the more it looks like a grab-bag of previous City sub-themes. The nighttime police stuff reminds me of last years stuff when they introduced those wanted posters. The helecopter heist in the middle has a winged jet pack like the Sky Police from a few years back. We have one City Space set. A race car from the F-1 tie-in. A food truck, and some construction stuff. I wonder if they just didn't want to commit to a specfic sub-theme this time so just tossed out a bunch of unused stuff from older ones to take some time off from City and focus on other themes? I wouldn't mind if they did this for a little while, just throw around a bunch of different stuff from city so different fans get something they like. I like the ship. I thought about trying to piece together the ship from that City tower set, but when I saw the battery pack was part of the launch pad and not the ship I didn't bother. But I mean I even got the 4+ set for City Space because I thought both the shuttle and the crystal workstation both looked good.

Alright so it's obvious that City is going to be how they dripfeed us non IP themes because they're retarded and need to keep dumping money into smart bricks, how can we bring back Castle via City? Best I can think of is a set with actual LARPers but that's not enough for a subtheme.
>>11939927>City theme but Castle... how?it would be fun to see a White Castle rip-off with a theme restaurant (Yellow Castle? hehe) or one of those food trucks selling turkey legs (a common Ren Fairre offering)

>>11939349>they still didn't fix the huge gap between the wings and the fuselage for their jedi starfighters?That's because this is in the new 5+ line, which is replacing the 4+ line. So its a smaller, basic-bitch build than usual.

This is fucking exo force 2.0
In case nobody is wondering about the purple 2x4 brick I found the other day, here’s an update. The high spots from nicks have been shaved down so the fit will be good, all the hand grease and Lego cooties have been washed away, plastic polished and shiny. It’s got a nIce little character stress mark on the side which adds to its uniqueness. Another brick saved from a horrible fate sits proudly in my collection now.
