They came in one of the Friends animal bags they used to make. Only one per pack, but the packs themselves were pretty cheap.
I have to say, even tough its technically a few days too late I'm still just as excited
Because buying a frame arms girl isn't possible for me.
>>5267112
How much?
Hopefully not arm and a leg.

I just want those fucking animals without paying 6€ a bag. Hell, I can get those cheaper from BL.
>>5267264
300 Yurobucks, opened and built once.
But then I also got some additonal monster fighter figs, like an extra zombie and manbat.
So I'm attempting to build a bigger sleigh today. This is what I have so far.
I'm thinking maybe it's a bit too wide? Any advice or suggestions welcome.
>>5267424
Yes it's a bit too wide, but if you put 12 reindeer in front and a huge sack/pile of toys/presents it's only gonna look cool.
Designwise it looks great!
why is brickshelf such a piece of shit
>found a box of S13 just laying around, for the full price though
>desire to empty it out slowly intensifies
I already bought the last 15 or so S12 that one store had, one by one, so I could easily do that. S13 still also has some figs I'd love to have

nice blog post m8
Bought this bad boy today, my first set since the early 2000's.
>It's Friday
This will be a good weekend.
dont forget that chima ends with a regular bear!
>>5267427
Yeah. Sadly I only have 8 reindeers(Only four in a set, maybe next year.).
My collection of sacks are in the basement right now with the rest of the Christmas stuff. These brick built gifts will have to do for now.
I think it needs reigns. I almost gave him a whip but that's not very Santaish.
hey looks another special Friends issue!
wish fountain+minidoll+unsoldpolybagfrompreviouslegofriendsmagazine
>>5267488
Looks great anon! With all the stuff it doesn't seem too wide. Any idea how you'll do reigns?
>>5267491
I've seen it sold with the recent rabbit polybag, that one with the new, smaller rabbit - seems like an ok deal. Friends is actually probably the best out of the magazines - Ninjago is ok but imo mostly when you get armybuilder badguys, Chima isn't my cup of tea, Elves is too pricey for what you get and Star Wars is laughable, even for people who like the franchise.
>>5267491
I wanted it but then...
>19,99
But if I find one with rabbit i might get it.
>>5267562
[toyspoiler]How desperate are you for rabbits? Because I have few small ones and one big one on my BL.[/toyspoiler]
>>5267562
The fountain is 12,99 PLN at Tesco (if yours carries the polybags, that it, some apparently don't or only ever had the ninjaog cultist mech) and around 15 at independent retailers. I don't think most of the other options are worth it (the only ones besides the rabbit I've seen were fairly generic and lacking any neat pieces, which probably explains why I've skipped their respective issues in the past) but for the rabbit it's definitely worth it.
It's a better deal than the other more expensive than usual 10 pln magazines, though, that's for sure.
Polish TRUs seem to have series 12 and 13 blindbags on sale, 10 zł a pop instead of the usual 15. Mine didn't have much interesting stuff left at this point (I did manage to get a single goblin and, oddly enough, a wiener man, I've thought I'll never find one; there was a single spooky girl left too), sadly.
It's funny how they ran out of Halloween blindbags long before these, too, even though Halloween not only isn't a thing in Poland but is also often condemended by certain kinds of conservative nutjobs.
>>5267570
I already have glorious crystal heart and I'm no fan of the hairpiece used for the minidoll.
I think I will keep my money for NEXO.
>>5267570
Why are those considered a good deal? Price per brick amounts to about 40gr, creator sets (and bricklink) are cheaper I think. Please explain, I want to understand what am I missing.
>>5267575
Halloween minis are great. I'm not into CMF, but still I bought 3 from series 14.
>tfw no plantman
>of well, at least I got the fly
>>5267599
>Why are those considered a good deal?
Accessories and animals in case of Friends, armybuilder figures in case of Chima and Ninjago? I don't think it applies to these magazines anywhere outside of slavlands where they are like 2-3 times as expensive, though.
Okay I'm adding some spooky artifacts/cool shit in the attic. So far I've put the werewolfs axe, a globe (behind the ghost), a lamp and the vampires old (oold) suit of armor.
Any suggestions for more?
>>5267718
Maybe a chest or even locker with some potions?
Also, nice to see the bat lord's helmet here, I'm surprised it didn't find wider use in recent themes.
So I've finally decided to start sorting my parts. What would you guys say the best way to sort them is, and how many bins do you think I'll need?
>>5267782
First by shape and only then by colors.
Also, make sure to put all the printed pieces in a separate place early on as otherwise you'll risk damaging them.
>>5267782
Sort by type, not by color. It's hard to do at first, but you will be very happy with the result.

>>5268015

Okay so I wanted to try making more Marvel characters.
I was thinking I could make this guy with this blocky design because it'd be something new, but I want to hear your opinion, how hard do you think it would be to make him with decent detail and without him being oversized? (Like just a bit taller than a bigfig)
>>5267765
It's put to good use in the Orient Expedition "final set", if you consider 2003 recent.
>>5268067
Making bots that are about the same size or slightly larger than a minifig is fucking tough. Look at all the SW prequel droids LEGO makes. They're either oversized or LEGO had to design special parts.
>>5268067
It will be hard but interesting
>>5268070
It was in that short-lived horror line around the same time too.
Also, Orient Expedition > Adventures. One of the very few worthwile early 2000s themes and probably one of the most underrated ones overall.
>>5268067
>>5268074
Actually looking at more pics like [related] the size difference is more than I'd thought from your pic.
>>5268082
Totally doable, though the color makes it tougher.
Also why is the Crimson Dynamo white on this show?
>>5268081
Orient Expedition was Adventures, and a good way to end the theme at that. I'd say Egypt and Orient Expedition were the two best subthemes. Jungle and Dino Island were less impressive.
>>5268082
>>5268085
Actually, yeah, now that I see it better he looks taller.
Still shouldn't be that much bigger than a bigfig (like that one stupidly oversized Hulkbuster)
>Also why is the Crimson Dynamo white on this show?
Because the armor was made for space travel originally or something like that.
Apparently he gets a paint job later, but still not fully crimson.
Maybe you fucktards should start talking about Lego in the Lego general instead of non-related horse shit no one gives a fuck about.
>>5268043
Too small, she'd have to be brick-built.
>>5268089
Yup, exactly. Dino has an ok premise and I really like the stegosaurus and the two bad guys who only showed up there, but the sets were largely subpar in comparision to rest of the subthemes and only the base was truly worth it imo.
OE really did the trick for me thanks to mixing the original Adventures charm with really unique new ideas and great, diverse builds, if I had to pick one old theme to reboot, it'd be either that or Fabuland. Egypt was great too but it got a good enough tribute in form of (also quite underrated) Pharaoh's Quest.
>>5268117
I'd say the Island Hopper was the most interesting set from Dino Island, but I suppose it is a matter of taste.
My biggest Lego regret is not buying more of Orient Expedition, I was just beginning to earn my own money back then
>>5268106
It's tough, the MRA gets triggered so easily. Last year he went off on me because I said I was looking forward to the Governor's Daughter minifig in PIrates III.
>>5268125
>My biggest Lego regret is not buying more of Orient Expedition, I was just beginning to earn my own money back then
Same here. Not getting enough OE and the Studios horror line are my two main regrets. I really need to track down the junk ship and mad scientist lab some day - I'm glad I've managed to get the maharaja's palace back then.
I have to admit I found the Tibet subtheme to be a bit boring in comparision to India and China, it was quite obviously meant to just be filler.
New BrickWarriors stuff looks fucking great,
>>5268138
If only...
>>5268147
Am the only one who doesn't like those raised baseplates? Brick built is always better.
>>5268147
This is still one of my favorite Lego castles overall, this set felt so fresh and unique back then.
I have to admit Ninjago is doing ok in terms of eastern architecutre lately too, though.
>>5268067
Took a stab at it and gave up. Too many rounded parts.
oh boy oh boy is it already time for political shitposting?
Okay, dumb question time
What does Lego General use to build their digital models?
[spoiler]Which one is the most likely to run on my shitty toaster?[/spoiler]
>>5268256
I use LDD.
>>5268256
LEGO Digital Designer. Kind of sucks sometimes though.
>>5268263
>Kind of sucks sometimes though.
Care to explain?
>>5268256
Most people here use LDD; some of the rest use some other program I don't remember the name of.
>>5268268
Like right now, it updated but I can't get outlines on the bricks(which makes it easier to see). Before it updated it'd crash 50% of the time when I tried to save a new file.
>>5268268
Occasional crashes, save often but that's a given.
Limited brick and color selection
Build mode with colors intended to exist still has bricks that don't exist
Can lag badly
Some bricks have hitboxes that are a little bit odd but this is easily avoided and rare, it'll pretty much never get in your way
HTML building guides are odd and will create steps with floating bricks
No easy way to get parts lists to bricklink without external tools or manual translation, and the former may not work on occasion.
I still use it. If you intend to use all modern bricks in something you'd like to build, then it's easily a very good program.
>>5268151
I Love my "Rocky Coast" one, from 7047.
>>5268283
>No easy way to get parts lists to bricklink without external tools or manual translation, and the former may not work on occasion.
This is important.
Please someone tell me there is one that does this
>>5268288
There's Brickutilis, Brickulus (old, may or may not work), and I think LDD manager.
Just googling "LDD parts list to Bricklink" brings up a medley of results. Me, I decided to just do it manually. It's not that hard once you're familiar with Bricklink's features.
Just ensure all of the parts, and I mean ALL of them, exist in the build you want to make.
Oh, also, there's obviously more tools than what I mentioned, but whatever.
I tried offsetting with jumper plates for the first time
>>5268355
I was aiming for the tank chase in Goldeneye, but cant be bothered to make a tank.

Thanks anon.
I've tried other head designs but none of them are properly scaled. I did update her design quite a bit though.
>>5268364
Maybe if you used one of those roof overhang pieces you could get something? Or two of those curved 1x2x2 slopes.

What would be a good asking price for pic related? Not sure how many pieces are in the box, but the ziploc has tons of minifig pieces and the Harry Potter set is included.
I'm in the Belleville IL area if anyone is interested.
I want to make a lego blood and crip with the ninjago blue and red bandannas. Then a 64 impala off a modified ecto 1. Guns from brickarms, then a in-and-out burger drive-by.
Does anyone have a black head and the ninjago peices so I can see how it looks?
>>5268416
50 - 75 on the high end. the packaged set will go for more individually on ebay
>>5268433
The box to the Harry Potter set is fucked and I kinda just want to make a quick sale. Thanks for the advice though.

Oh shit guys, Spent five hours on LDD and bricklink and I should have a version of this next week :D
Some colours are off as my seller didnt have every single piece.There is literally 1 guy selling the 1x3 slopes in reddish brown and he only has 2? Are they rare or something?! I need 8!!
Also Holy fuck am I pissed off that Megablocks got the TMNT licence and are actually doing cool shit with it. They even have this and a party wagon in the pipeline :@
>>5268470
that's flipping great!
>>5268476
Ive spent the last 7 hours making and buying it so I hope so!!
Hopefully we get Fred in the hinted future dimensions pack!
>>5268473
the turtles don't look all that great, but dat Krang...
>>5268470
look up what sets it's in, buy the cheapest set that has the most of them
>>5268486
Genius!
I dont get why only 1 person on the whole of cracklink is selling that part though ?!?
>really want to buy a Theoden minifig
>$22 minimum
Cool old minifigs is suffering
>>5268483
They had a lifesize megablock party wagon at NYCC and was just a massive version of the future set! Lucky for me mine is based on the intro/toy version and theres is the actual
In episode version.
I still think my nick van is getting there, its just a way harder design!
>>5268491
hell if I know
it looks like it should have been a pick-a-brick part by now, weird that it's so rare
>>5268500
I have shotloads of them! Even in olive! But why not brown?!!! Madness! Ill have to figure out a set with 8 of them so the logs on my flintmobile dont have patches!
>>5268491
>I dont get why only 1 person on the whole of cracklink is selling that part though ?!?
Beware, it probably doesn't actually come in that color and they've mistaken Dark Red or Dark Brown for Reddish Brown. I looked up that part to see what set it came in in Reddish Brown and there was no listing.

>Build mode with colors intended to exist still has bricks that don't exist
The thing is that they do exist, but haven't been put into sets. Sometimes they produce pieces in colors that are needed for brickbuilt statues, and they end up filtering through to Pick-a-Brick and Bricklink.
>>5268473
You should build your own Krangdroid out of LEGO using the Kraang piece.
>>5268369
Cost, mainly. They're a bit on the expensive side.
Though I can live with just a lego version.
AFter seeing the pics I must admit Ultimate sets look beter than I expected after reading about them.
Many cool pieces, clay has 4 fire chima wings, Aaron have lovely new small techno wings, robin has blue/red lightning piece, macy has fucking studshooter on her arm, beast master have drill-hand and 4x4 round dish with portal patern and Lavaria... Holy fuck.
4 legged, bat winged waifu with r new jagged sword pieces and new armor piece.
I'm already saving.
All elves must be mine too. New teapot piece, new big egg piece, New 1x1 tiles with log print, books, printed chocolate bar, new female elve with green hair...
>>5268668
Where are the pics?
>>5268670
I can't share them as I promised. The sets soon will appear on shelves, so we will get a good pics!
My Lego Dimensions bricks are cracking within days of purchase, and they are just sitting on the shelf. I have been in touch with Customer Service and I sent them what I thought was the complete list of cracked parts, only to discover that my newest purchase of a few days ago, the Doctor Who pack, has K9 cracking in several bricks. Is anyone else getting this issue? It's extremely strange as it ONLY happens with Dimensions sets. I have other sets sitting on the same shelf for a few years now, and no part has cracked, so it's not the environment. Very, very disappointingly perplexing. Has anyone else had this issue?
Do you have this model or do you is it gud?
Also what do you reccomend from lego technic?
please help a nooob
>>5268691
Do you live hundreds of feet below the surface of the ocean perhaps?
>>5268691

>>5268691
Nothing that bad has happened to me only low quality parts I have noticed are the dishes in the jurasic world pack they feel more like chinky plastic.
>>5268691
100% sure this is a lie.
>>5268691
That's some nice bait anon. Why don't you post it to EB where people will fall for it.
>>5268691
Which sets do you own? I know this problem is very common in the Lele-variant Dimensions products. In fact, I think I've heard reports of those minifigs not working at all with the game! Very disappointing.
>>5268696
if you are beginner NEVER buy a huge set. Start from smaller ones.
This beast took us 3 days, it's very hard, but it's worth the price!
>>5268691
I had this happen with my Indominus Rex. I had to get it replaced eight times before I finally got one that didn't crack right away.
By the way, is it cool if I link my eBay store here? I have some great JW stuff.
>>5268716
Doctor Who, Benny and the Homer.
>>5268734

>>5268545
Cool., I always wanted an Iesenberg fig to give douchey interviews to my other figs. He can hang out with Vitruvius and they can do magic tricks together.
>>5268538
Sorry to say anon but I don't think there is a program like that out there
>>5268545
Ugh, lets hope the other sets aren't this boring
>>5268696
I built my first technic set about a year ago since my dark ages. Was the red supercar set with power functions. Was pretty fun, took around 6 hours to finish. Pretty satisfying but I think I'll stick to system sets.
>>5267112
I recently bought one too, paid $355 for mine , how much for yours
>thinking of getting the Mega Bloks Monster High spoopy car so i can take out the shitass ugly bricks, replace them with lego black, and have a spooky car for some of the halloween wave
just fucking kill me now, im not buying that shit
>>5268860
Why don't you build one straight out of lego that's aping said design?
>>5268734
Post it, im interested in seeing what parts you got.
>>5268860
Pics of said car? Lego cars have kind of become a new passion for me, and I would love some horror themed shit like the dragula or any crazy monster themed hot rod styled car.
>>5268861
thats what i thought of at first, but all i really know about megablocks it that they're basically lesser legos, i dont know if there is a "mega-briklink" or a "mega-we post instructions here" that i can get the part list or build off of
>>5268870
pic related
at the very least, i see myself changing the wheels, removing the skulls, and getting rid of those tie dye blocks, but other than that its not too terrible
>>5268873
So many halfway decent elements on that thing, but the Megablock quality nonsense.. it's a dealbreaker for me.
>>5268256
Most people use LDD, some use LeoCad.
>>5268490
100 bux in the best case.
>>5268873
Eh, the size. Its definitely not minifig scale at all (and im not talking like how all the regular cars in sets are smart car sized, this is like technic sized.)
>>5268416
Ill give ya $40 for the whole thing.
>>5268890
i did plan on using it similar to a "family car" like the munsters or addams though, and near as i can tell, the interior is about 2-3 minifigs wide
>>5268892
I think it would look too weird though. Like putting a minifig in a barbie convertible, but to each their own.
>>5268895
you might be right though, i guess it just really depends on if its closer to 2 or 3 wide, and now deep that inside is
i planned on using it as my spooky family car, the anon that made the story with the cmf spooky girl spider lady, and vampire made me want to make a spooky family of pale weirdos (but not vampires or monsters)
maybe il look at it in store, or look for more pictures to get an actual sense of if the size would fit 5 people without looking retarded
>>5268878
when is the last time you bought a set? They redid the QA in 2014 I think. The newer halo sets are really great now. Tons of clutch power. Yeah the brick quality doesn't match lego bit it is better
>>5268896
Thats tempting, but they arent showing enough skin for my pleasure.
>>5268897
Theres a pretty good one in the monster fighters theme that, with some tweaking, could make a great spooky family car. I dont think it even goes for that much on the second market.
>>5267424
yeah dude its a little wide but it looks great, good job.
>>5267461
It has character anon, like its some priceless ancient relic found buried in the hot sand .
>>5268902
that was my other hope to build off of if the monster high one didn't pan out, i figured it was a bit expensive though, never looked up the price
theoretically all i would have to do is hollow out the walls a bit, and retrofit the coffin area into more seating, and it might be big enough
>>5268900
Yeah, while the figs are vastly improved, I still can't get over how janky the blocks fir together overall.
>>5268896
That too.
So was a lego brickumentry good thinking of buying it or torrenting it.
>>5268908
Right now theres several of the monster fighters hearsts on ebay for about $35-$45+shipping. Not too bad for a retired set with such character IMO. Plus you get a bike, a zombie drier and a dracula, so its worth it to me personally.
>>5268946
Forgot to add, they are brand new, still sealed. Might have damaged boxes, but who gives a shit about that.
>>5268947
>>5268946
Actually thats alot better than i expected, a little much for its size, but that would actually be the exact price of the megablock monster high car if it wasn't on sale
thanks for pointing out the price, the MH one might be easier, but there are so many more parts to replace/change that would by far set off the lower price
>>5268949
Just found a used one on ebay, missing some pieces and already assembled, for $20 free shipping. Looks like its for sure missing the engine, but for $20, its a HELL of a start.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Monster-Fighters-The-Vampyre-Hearse-9464-/272028180417?hash=item3f56249fc1:g:PD4AAOSwA4dWLslI
>>5268952
its missing the one minifig i would want from the set, the motorbike i dont care about, and the bigass slope roof, but honestly at that price, its already lower than the on sale MH car
thanks again
>>5268416
If its on CL, $30-35

>>5269157
I like the set with Jawas and the blue alien minifig, don't care for the rest at all. The Bespin set needs either Lando or one of the two bounty hunters who never got any minifigs so far, here's hope it'll be a similar deal to Jabba's Palace and we'll see that in the summar wave.

Those helmets are really nice shame i can't really justify buying that set since I don't really like the color scheme and don't know what the film is gonna be like yet.
>>5269266
Isn't that one supposed to be a one-off unit anyway? Surely we'll get a white and blue version some time later, once the film is firmly in people's minds.
>>5269157
Do the Battlefront packs have backgrounds based on any specific map from the game?
>>5269279
Looks like tatooine.
also looks like new jetpack pieces. Hype.

>Only one regular Stormie in the Force Awakens BP
Yeah that really stinks. And they keep pushing those First Order Crew guys on us. I already have three from the first wave sets, and now a fourth here(possibly more, if I want to get tons of First Order Stormtroopers). They're going to be the biggest faction and I bet they don't even do anything in the movie.
>>5269306
You could get a bunch of Stormie Finn polybags and give them Heavy Weapons Stormtrooper helmets.
Have yourself a bunch of messy troopers on the front lines.
>>5269327
Isn't that a game preorder exclusive?
>>5269157
Another year a bother hoth set and another crappy probe droid. Why does lego like to play with my hopes.

>Occasional crashes, save often but that's a given.
Save often is good advice, but it almost never crashes, the only consistent cases I can think of are if you use the flex tool or hinge-align on HUGE models.
>Limited brick and color selection
Sort of. Use extended mode, check parts against BL/Brickset. You can get way more colours, there's an LXF floating around that's been manually edited to have parts in all the colours LDD actually supports, you can eyedropper from there.
>Build mode with colors intended to exist still has bricks that don't exist
This mode is shitty, see above advice on extended mode.
>Can lag badly
Yep. This is entirely based on your computer and the number of bricks in the model, though. I can get up to 6-7k pieces and there are people who've done 50k+ models.
>Some bricks have hitboxes that are a little bit odd but this is easily avoided and rare, it'll pretty much never get in your way
Yep, an most cases of this will actually work to your advantage, though there are a few that prevent parts from being as close as is really possible.
>HTML building guides are odd and will create steps with floating bricks
>No easy way to get parts lists to bricklink without external tools or manual translation, and the former may not work on occasion.
I don't bother with HTML guides at all, just import the .lxf to Brickficiency and run small passes. Brickficiency is a little buggy with the shitty BL reskin, so you may have to work with the BL wanted lists manually, but it works and is cheaper than other methods.

LDD to Pov-Ray converter + free Pov-Ray and you're done. Its fucking awesome!

i would love to BL the parts and make two or three of them for a bigass hangar diorama but i can't decide between legos and guns/ammo and welding equipment

I had not that much a problem with raised baseplates, but more with some sets with them and not so much else to build on it.
That was most with the KK and The KK2 castles

They ignore officers and crew men all the time and the one pack where they make the least sense you get them.
I hope prices for single figures on the after market aren´t that bad.
Boba looks identical to the UCS Slave One version but misses the arm printing. Nice, so I can sell mine for 50 bucks and still get to keep the cape.
>>5269544
That looks great if not a bit too big.
Congratulations, I guess

>>5269593
>can´t even let the space nazis be nazis...
The Empire hated non-humans.
Also it's strange you took this long to realize that the First Order took in blacks. One of our main characters is a Stormtrooper, after all.
>>5269185
Javas are quite cheap nowadays as they appeared in advent calender
>>5269157
All the battle packs are great. I don't have an updated C-3PO and R2-D2 so I'm buying the droid set. Carbonite set may be a pass, but I think I'll be that Hoth set. The Obi-Wan Starfighter set looks so boring.
>>5269163

Oh man I'm totally making a Dark Trooper now.

Those Ultimate Knight sets are interesting. Pretty much just minifigure packs with a little scenery, weapons, and what I assume are exclusive Nexo Powers on those shield pieces.
>>5269715
They honestly seem like a better deal than spinners and speedorz, it's all just normal parts.
I'll definitely pick up the spider lady, especially since she's in none of the sets.
The Ninjago pirate stuff looks pretty good, too. Shame we didn't get any more pics of CMF series 15 out of this or a confirmaton whether we'll get more of them or that rumored German football representation bullshit - I hope this particular rumor is false, this'd be way too repetative.
>>5269732
There are two series in retailer catalogue - 16 and SPECIAL.
>>5269748
King's mech, the small tower and the big mech-sized monster are chain store exclusives (likely TRU in most countries), this is a catalog for independent retailers hence the lack of these as well as some of the city stuff mentioned before.
The superhero microfighter equivalent seemingly aren't there either though which does seem weird.

Should I pull the trigger?

Don't, it looks bad.
>>5269810
fucking idiot, those parts aren't worth 5 euros. You're worse than the polish autist who buys muh precious super prezents and everyone here cheers him for it because they're all fucking autists. Pls don't buy that. Just buy the parts. You can buy more Lego for 20.
>>5269692
I hate how in all of the years that lego has made star wars sets they never ever made a dark trooper.
and these new fangled dark troopers they've been pushing in their commander game looks like shit.
>>5269818
>they never ever made a dark trooper
They did, though? One of the very first battle packs had one alongside 3 normal stories, it was in 2008 I believe. Before that there was some EU tie-like tank with two of them. Lego hardly did EU stuff at all, though, so I'm not surprised they didn't do too many minor EU stormie variations.
>>5269810
It's a horrible build, there are much better mechs you can get for that price. Also green ninja looks like shit.
>>5269814
>hating on supreprezents
dude, those are like 2 euro and Poland isn't exactly as full of affordable Lego as normal countries, for them it is a pretty good deal
>>5269831
>tie-like tank
Don't you talk shit on TIE Crawler. That thing is my holy grail of Lego if you don't count old Modulars.
>>5269866
Confirmed to be episode VII sets, same goes for the two other obscured SW boxes. One of them is that ship with old Leia and Ackbar we've seen, and iirc it was rumored one of the microfghters has Kylo in it.
>>5269866
Scratch that. I see that there are a LOT of sets without pics or names.
Now we're talking!
>>5269835
>holy grail
>comparing them to the old modulars
You know you can get sealed tie crawlers for less than $100, right? Where as the old modulars go for $500-$1500 (why is the green grocer so fucking expensive? whats so fucking special about it? Colored bricks? Suck my dick.)
>>5269891
It was only available via the "factory" range IIRC (ie that short lived design your own set and buy it scheme they had in the early 2010s)
>>5269891
The first modulars, especially Green Grocers and Market Street, look pretty awful, I don't really get the high prices either especially considering they don't come with any rare parts since exclusive part colors are a fairly new addition to modulars (I think fire brigade was first with the golden helmet?). They both look like shit too, the only reason why I don't consider them the most overrated ones is the fact that Palace Cinema exists.

No no no no, it's different this time. This time it's an Aven-Jet.
I might just get it, honestly. Didn't get the MCU Quinjets, and the comics Thanos would go great with my others comics-costume figs.
>>5269924
I was going to point that out yes, those are shadow troopers.
Dark troopers were definitely taller in size, i wonder if anyone has attempted to actually make them with legos.
>>5269966
It's allegedly based on the new cartoon nobody watches, so it won't look exactly like comic Thanos.
One anon wanted pics of blimp set in last thread, well anon's wish has come true.
I'm lookin' forward to cheap twilek to build my star wars alien numbers up a bit.
>>5268696
is that a kosovo liscense plat?
>>5269831
I have a house in Poland, I know how it's like over there.
It's true that they can't necessarily afford Lego like normal people.
It really depends what part of the country you live in if you even wanna get some Lego.
Forgot about how Poland's shithead direction is with Lego. Sorry bout that.
>>5269924
>>5269967
Technically they're shadow stormtroopers. Shadow troopers were a different branch.
There's also shadowtroopers without the space who wielded lightsabers, and dark troopers who were droids.
Really the whole EU is fucked.
>>5270066
Thank the mouse for putting the EU out of its misery.
>>5270066
Yeah it's all kinds of confusing with those names. I am sad the Dark troopers got nipped along with other EU stuff, but at least Lego seems to ride the EU train sometimes, even after the Disney acquisition.
>>5270056
Why still no Slave-1 Microfighter?
