then you’re going to have to get the police station modular, because the jail cell toilet has pee and poo pieces in it. and the Ninjago city markets also has the first working Lego toilet.
sorry if my knowledge drop costs you an extra $600.
great details in the floors and walls. the longer I look, the more I appreciate.
actually, the longer I look, the more I appreciate original posts. this recent explosion is borderline spam. we’re one step away from being flooded with people posting pictures of boxes. time to test these filters.
that bag is worth its weight in gold. hard to say any specific set from completely random pieces, but there’s a lot of good shit in there, absolutely.
Anyone here have a great build experience recently? What sets (or MOCs, Bricklink series, etc) have impressed you that you want to recommend?
there are also people who genuinely feel happy for their SOs in these situations. Compersion is real and fucking wonderful. not enough people know 'bout it.
I fuckin hate how right you are.
goddammit.
This set was super fun to build; I love the greebling. are there any other sets like this, where the detailing is not just a feature, but basically the entire build?
I saw some of this while browsing earlier last week and making orders.
specifically, I remember at least one store that had wild prices on something I was looking at, so I checked the feedback and saw a store with zero activity for over a year, then a few recent, suspicious bits of feedback. iirc, it was like zero orders/feedback for over a year, then a bunch of feedback from orders that were placed a day or two previously. impossible.
change your passwords, y’all
the exposed studs for the warty face is so perfect, well done!
very cool 🤯 I don’t think I’ve built a technic set in about 25 years, just not my thing compared to the regular brick, but they’re so impressive.
the idea of disassembling that beast sounds nightmarish!
cool, I’ll check that one out, thanks! Boost seems to display them most accurately, which makes the fact that Sync doesn’t show half of the pics at all really weird, as that’s the app I used to make the post 🤔
very cool, would love to see how you improve upon that! definitely post pics of the process and final result, if you’d like.
have you built the set already? how was it, specifically the brick-built baseplate? any interesting techniques that stand out?
I gotta see that Baron minifig head to head against Lord Business.
decent looking set, price is more than I’d pay, even with 8 unique figs. maybe I missed it in the article, but are there other sets coming? this is the type of set I’d get if I really wanted only the build or the minifigs, and so sell the other to offset the cost.
that’s their secret: it all sells. some better than others, but once sets start going on sale (moreso clearance), that shit disappears. beyond the standard 20% off, if the prices are 40-50% off in stores, it’s all sold pretty damn quickly, ime.
there aren’t a lot of flops, afaik. the recent Black Panther bust was a bust, and the foosball set was more of a boosball. I really liked the Queer Eye set, but I think Lego misjudged the level of interest it would have. I’m happy I picked up a few of those, though; great set for parts!
I’ve also heard that Walmarts will sell off palettes of sets to employees for really cheap. either way, it all sells, and often eventually find its way back into the Lego ecosystem, ie bricklink.
who here only sees 1 photo? anyone see just 2? and who sees all 4?
between sync, boost, and thunder, I’m seeing way different results. on Thunder, there’s an option to “view all images” which opens a gallery. boost shows all 4 in the post correctly. sync only shows the post photo and the middle pic of the three in the body of the post. and no apparent way to edit the post at all, between the three apps!
life is fun
Ah, yes, now I can see it. Hard to tell the scale of some of it, it looked like it was larger than that.
I just noticed on that lower jaw, is that gollum’s arm connecting the jaw? Again, really cool details. The longer I look, the more I notice.
I’m working on a castle MOC with some pretty elaborate brick work, and hope to post pics soon.
Really cool, fun parts usage. The lavender minidoll torso is a brilliant choice!
What’s the two yellow parts used in the beast’s mouth? At first, I thought it was a k’nex piece (haven’t thought about that in decades), but upon closer inspection, maybe not. Do you know what it is?
Great work, thanks for sharing!
I had no idea how much hair those helmets contained! 🤯
Very cool. I’ve always loved all the castle wizards, but of course, I like the original Majisto with the glow in the dark wand. I do like the new wizard from this year, too.
The flames around the fire… are those, like, wings from a fairy minifigure? What’s the part number?
Edit: wait wtf. Another recent post here (the really car) has those same flame pieces!
I turned off the you-filter so I can show you how easy it is to filter out whatever you like, be it whole instances, communities, or users.
spam is whatever an individual deems it to be. if 90% of posts from the last week are from one user, I call that spam. I don’t want “content” for its own sake. I prefer quality or originality over quantity.
side note: reddit stomped the individualism out of their users, the very source of their success. like others have said here, I’m not interested in seeing posts from there copied to here.
I’d like to see more engagement and interaction on here, I want this place to grow, but I also don’t want this place to only try to imitate the reddit board. I’m sure I come across as ‘old man yells at clouds,’ that’s fine, whatever. however, I think most people here would agree that there needs to be a balance. why even come here, if everything is copied and regurgitated from reddit?
