I wanted to do that initially and couldn't, which is why I'd asked about alternate gimmicks earlier. Boots with wheels actually inside of them can be an effort to pull off, and at the size this lady is at it can't really be done in a way that looks good without taking up too much space.
>>5298816
I was thinking of making lots of swappable parts for different football positions actually. In any case, it'd be fun, but it'd also have the big disadvantage of being less feasible- when I actually build something I'd like some variety and not to have too much to buy at once.
>>5298819
Please no. Generic grey greeblefests are no fun, and besides that "western" mecha as you seem to put it seems like boring Battletech or other generic dime-a-dozen American junk. If you have to indulge your reelism and want combat robots at least do Dougram or Robot Jox or anything that isn't so boring.
Plus, where's the fun? I just don't get reelism anymore. Go nuts, don't just make some boring military blob.
Giant Robo is great, by the way.
I mentioned Dougram because BT owes its existence to it, but there's plenty of "real" robot anime and the like, e.g. VOTOMS, M3, any random Gundam, or other stuff.
In any case real/super is a silly and inaccurate monkier. Robots should just be robots. Putting any thought into it besides light justification and "because it's cool" is going to start problems.
>>5298889
you should post toy gifs and not take up the image limit with shit cartoons that don't belong here, degenerate
>>5298881
If we have to go with a western faction vs. eastern faction in a mecha theme I'd focus more on haphazard designs in the vein of the Russian and Chinese jaeagers from Pacific Rim or Chappie for the western ones instead of faux-military shit. That or retro sci-fi.
We need a mecha challenge next month I think.
Somewhat relevant to the discussion
>>5298894
Metal Gears are counts-as western, right?
>>5298902
They're from Japanese games, so no.
>>5298892
Gotcha. Dougram has some Max Factory kits as well as Revoltechs.
Come to think of it, Combat Armors would make good Lego deisgns. Not too blocky, varied anyway, lots of equipment, not too many greebles, and both sides are somewhat in the right.
Not to continue the off-topic bits too much, but I didn't offend you, did I? You seem a little miffed. I'd still give Giant Robo a chance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VemrhM9Y35M
>>5298894
That seems like a nice idea.
>>5298902
Pretty sure they can be classfied as faux military so not exactly what he had in mind but yeah, the games in general have more of a western aesthetic indeed
>>5298908
But design-wise they've got a lot more in common with the armless head-on-legs western style.
>>5298914
>western aesthetic
Nah man. Western design philosphy is what counts, militarism not so much. Japanese guys do what they like.
>>5298915
Not really what makes something "western", it's just more common to westren stuff because Westren stuff thinks that makes the robot more real. Nips don't seem to care.
Hy-Gogg would be a good other Gundam exampe here, or else the Gwigsy, Ball, Kampfer, Xamel, etc. Hell, maybe even Acguy or arguably Zock.
>>5298881

Uh, most of Battletech was ripped off of Japanese Mecha...

I thought the classic flowers were still showing up plenty, but in any case TLG also doesn't seem to think the connection they use is outmoded.
The teeny pin connection is used often for Friends headgear, bows, hats, CMF hat decorations, etc.
>>5298436
It's nothing new except maybe the green pad piece, which iirc is a tile which has existed for a while. Green'd be a new color though, yes?
>>5299041
I prefer the old flowers, because even though they don't attach to studs, at least you can put them on three-stalk pieces without bending the stalks. I always feel like I'm going to break a stalk putting one of the new-style flowers on.

Not quite, it shows up in 1 Elves set.
Just finished my badass warrior mecha. Any suggestion on how to build a decent sword??

Truth is he doesn't like fighting. Turns out he's a nature lover hippie.
>>5299062
Just out of the parts in the picture? I'd say that's a pretty nice job. If you rotated the blade to face a direction that could work in your favor. What's up with its head though?
Additionally, if you use those bend parts you used for the boots for the arms instead of the ball joints and use those ball joints in the boots, you get a little more articulation.

>counter-rotor
Intermeshing rotor. Intermeshing rotors are technically counter-rotating, but that term's almost exclusively used for helicopters with two rotors on a hollow shaft.
>>5299169
Okay, those are pretty awesome. Official sets or mocs?
meh, I need a better photo area

Forgive my mistake. I've fucked up in much bigger ways recently and its clouding my thinking.
>>5299213
They're old agents sets! Whenever I saw that canopy I thought it was a megabloks piece until I discovered this!
Both were bought for 40 dollarydoos on eBay, single bidder. 90-99% complete, missing a trans orange head from one unfortunately but with the meat of the vehicle its no big deal.
I also got the agents sub with the gitd octopus, I'm thiknkjg of combining the 3 into a bigger mesh-rotor chopper with some Thunderbirds/cyberpunk flair as a sort of "could have been" for the new ultra-agents chopper.

>>5299331

Oh wait yeah I see what you meant. That's a creator set, so no fig included but they tend to be scaled to fit one in the cockpit these days.
It won't be in keeping with "system" scale vehicles though. But MUCH more in line with what people produce as MOCs, which is part of the reason creator is doing so well these days.

I don't understand, what other use for mechs are there? I mean mechs aren't practical but the closest thing I could see practical use for them is military use.
Also when I say "western" design I mean the near future minimalist design, function over form. While I enjoy mechas in the vein of anime I just want diversity in my theme line. Not being able to enjoy both design aspects is kinda dumb.
>Giant Robo is great, by the way.
If you are talking about my build then thank you.
>>5299817

>what other use for mechs are there?
How do you mean? If you mean purposes in life there's construction, transport, EMS services, industrial purposes of all kinds, public relations (even as giants, it's no stretch of the imagination), or other pubic services.
With a concept as inherently ridiculous as mecha as a genre there's no point to even mentioning the word "practical", no matter what you're going to lose out if you put any thought into it besides "it's cool".
"Western" design in the sense you mentioned I had noted isn't really what makes something western. Western designs are distinguished by visible traits, not conceptual ones, and they usually have nothing to do with militarism or "practicality". I enjoy practical or "real" robots as much as the next guy, but most of the time I find when people try to make practical robots, Americans do it well IRL and then it varies wildly. British IMO have it fine on both fronts, Japs too but they also have the most exampes by far. There's also poor designs on all fronts.
Don't get me wrong, I think yours is alright. The question is, could you put a minifig in it? Also I derailed this topic way too much with robot nonsense and I want to put a stop to it.
TL;DR Lots of stuff tacked together at once isn't better or more practical than something that doesn't have lots of stuff tacked onto it at once, it's just more cluttered visually.
I'm dumb. Here's a crane. I really really like this crane.
Holy fuck. That's cool thing.
>>5299913
I like the poseable laser; the articulation wasn't necessary, but very welcome.
>>5299913
I really like this set as a whole, the "big vehicle separates into small ones" is a very underrated gimmick and the colors are pretty nice on the new photos. The tiny robots are cute, too, and it has one of the best bad guys on top of that.
The only underwhelming Nexo sets are, at least for me, Merlock's library and the robo-horse (it looks better as a bike but it's still rather lame and the white knight looks horrible); I'm not really interested in the ultimate figures either save for Lavaria, but they seem like an improvement over spinners and speedors.
>>5299913
Cant wait to see what people do with the parts from this theme. Looking forward to in hand pics too.
>>5299918
That mech really appeals to me. It's really well-proportioned, and manages to pull off a much better range of motion than most of the mech sets recently released.
I won't stop loving my Hulkbuster, but it's one in a long line of "chunky" suits, and the king's mech is a good change.
>>5299913
Yeah the vehicles are cool.
Pic related really struck a chord with me, probably because it reminds me of Saber Rider.
I'll probably end up bricklinking the heroes and their horsies.
>>5299918
>the "big vehicle separates into small ones" is a very underrated gimmick
Yes, but it can lead to part bloat, at least it did when it came to Galaxy Squad.
>>5299918
Fuck me. I need that sword
>>5299950
none of the pieces used for the mechas's sword are new, if that's what you're talking about - the blade is one of these.
It still looks really nice though, easily my second favorite Lego mecha.
>>5299933

Wasn't it the case with the sensei and girl in Ninjago initially too? I'm assuming Axel and the white knight will be in multiple wave 2 sets together with all the villains we've seen so far in promo shots (snake lady, other lady, burning guy with that UA fire helmet) and the second version of the generic mook.
>>5300025
i think so, and most likely they would have them in save two, especially if they keep going with nexo-max sets
im just a bit disappointed theres one of him, and he's in the biggest set only
>>5300027
I would be less disappointed if he had one of these ultimate-stand-weapon set-whatever things. Who the hell will even buy the kid instead of him? I doubt kids will since weird figures are usually more popular with them so Axel would make a lot of sense as one of these (snakes and big head skeletons were the most popular Ninjago spinners among kids afaik, sensei was a shelfwarmer).
>>5300021
Axl is confirmed for summer for ultimate sets.
I wonder if they will make him a NORMAL sized figure for that...
>>5300032
Source?
Also, who else is, apart from, as I assume, white knight?
Considering how Lavaria has those huge spider legs and all of them have weird weapon attachments I'd imagine they'll keep Axel the same, just with less accessories than the rest has.
Why is is that 9/10 times the yellow spaceman has a brand new looking space logo on it's torso? Was it the least popular one for kids to play with or was the gold on the space logo applied better to it?
>>5300049
The black ones often have very well preserved logos too. I do think yoi might be onto something with the color making him less popular with kids, not sure what's the deal with the black ones though, especially since it was the rares variant (only 8 sets, the rest is in around 30 each).
White seem to be on average be in the worst state, red and blue are somewhere in between

>>5300083
This thing only for now. 10 bucks.
>>5300054
Yeah I've noticed that the white spacemen usually have really crap torsos as well. As for the black spacemen, I would say that they are more on par with the red and blue ones in terms of preservation.
>>5300087
a lava drider and snake holders, what more can you ask for?
>>5300099
Don't forget about the new stud shooter crossbow too.
I'm not a fan of the normal stud shooters but this one looks pretty nice and I like how many small sets feature it.
>>5300089
Could be because the gold planet is backed by white, so when the gold flakes off all that's visible is a red slash? I've got a bunch of old Classic Space and almost every white is like that.
>>5300087

>venomous snakes

I really like how the Ultimate Packs show the Nexo Powers in use. It really drives home the shield powerup concept.

It has nothing to do with popularity and everything to do with the printing application. Different colored torsos got different kinds of printing, because what shows up well on a light-colored torso doesn't necessarily show up well on a dark-colored torso. Because of the differences in composition, some of the logos turned out to be much more durable than others. This wasn't a big deal at the time, because the pieces were new, but now decades later you can see which ones held up more.
There have been a few pictures posted in Lego General threads in the past of collections of old spacemen, and the variation of wear patterns tends to be the same within like colors. Red torsos usually have pure white silhouettes, while yellow ones hold the gold and red the best.
Hey all, anybody here especially familiar with the Lego train stuff?
I have my own house and now have the funding to do some shit I actually want to do, so I am ideally looking to build a permanent(?) layout with scenery on 2 to 3 custom made tables that I can lock together with clasps or something, I've no idea yet what my options are but I'm hoping for something that can be collapsed and moved or carried to another room / out of the house without too much trouble.
Pic related is my best option to work with in terms of space, 2 inches = 1 square (rounded down).
Black: Walls.
Blue: Free space, I can use all of it up and not give a damn.
Green: Could use it in a pinch, a bit is fine but a lot / all of it and I have to start giving things up I don't want to give up (right side) or start getting hemmed in a bit (left side).
Red: Immoveable stuff (radiator, my computer desk.)
Orange: A window.
Not 100% set in stone, I could have it encroach into the white space a little bit for sufficiently good reason.
Ideally I'd like enough of a layout to run two trains simultaneously, with some remote controlled points for some sidings or alternate routes, but I'll take what I can get. I don't even know where to begin or if I even have enough room here for this, if worse comes to worse I could conceivably cannibalize an 8ftx8ft area of my dining room to work with but that's an absolute last resort as I wouldn't get to enjoy it while sat at my PC and I'd have to give up the ability to play Dead of Winter and other board games with my friends, as there would no longer be room.
What do? Do I even have room for such a thing? Any advice?
>>5300136
All I see is pepe.
>>5299905
As I've been getting into MOC building in the last two years and this was built for the most part about a year ago I still haven't figured the inside out yet.
It's kinda hard for me to go back after I didn't build with minifigs in mind to try to do so.
>>5299911
>A CRANE TO SURPASS METAL GEAR
>>5299975
That Red knight has caught my eye..love the mace.
>>5300136
8 curve tracks makes a half-circle that's 88 studs or about 26" across. By "two trains simultaneously" I assume you want to do a two-track layout, so you'll need to incorporate another 32 studs or 10 inches into that curve. The very minimum you'll need is 120 studs or ~36" inches. for a parallel curve like pic related.
>>5300225
Realistically speaking, how much real estate am I going to need to pull of something nice and not completely cramped?
>printed sushi
nice
>>5300228
To put it simply, if you want something not cramped and your tables can't hold more than three 32x32 baseplates you should probably do a single track layout. Maybe put a yard to hold trains near your desk?
>>5300231
BLACK 1x1 ROUND TILES at last. Just the thing to complete this little bugger.
>>5300236
I could probably live with a single track layout and some sidings and a switch track where train #2 could wait on standby, better than having to put it in a room where I'd have to visit specially to use it as opposed to having it near my PC.
I finished organizing my bricks last night and started working on a robot waifu to celebrate. I only fit the bottom half done, and don't have any lady minis because I only just started rebuilding my collection after a forward-long haitus. So that's why Ackbar is filling in for the top.

>>5300690
quote three of your favorite jokes she says in the film
>>5300684
>>Literally only seen 5 secs of footage of her
>>5300684
Eh, Phasma still has a little mystery. A lot of normies still dont realize its Gwen Christie in the armor, quite a few of us weirdos and turbo nerds still dont know if shell be an alien/human/cyborg or some hybrid of all of them. Hell, theres a very unique and awesome lightsaber that is supposedly hers thats been seen in the concept art, but has NOT been shown in any of the media yet (in fact, a saber builder built a run of about 15 of them, full sound and battle ready. I would have bought one, but starting price was like $1500...).
My point is, shes the "Boba" of this so far. Stands out,, looks pretty cool, has some mystery around her, and not to mention her toys sold out like crazy.
>>5300684
She's a background character, nobody expects too much, if you didn't notice. Pretty much 905 of her appeal comes from the actress having pretty unique look as far as high profile actors go
oh wait why the fuck am I replying, it's the bazinga idiot again, isn't it? that or the butthurt /pol/ wannabe, if they're not the same person to begin with
>>5300696
star wars had speculation about the characters because the film got released and the internet didnt exist back then. people only care about this new film because of trailers, it offers nothing unique because there are all sorts of toys out there its why disney does all this to compete and stay on top
>>5300696
You realize when you talk like that, its makes YOU sound like the one whose butthurt all the time? Jesus christ, it doesnt matter what board it is, this is 4chan, there will be trolls,, racist remarks, sexism and shit talking. Get the fuck over it, fag. If it bothers you, hide it or ignore it.

That was the joke. I was poking fun at >>5300673 for assuming that kids won't like Finn, because that poster's sentiments seem to be in line with the posters who have discounted Phasma as a boring character because "muh titties".
Not everything you see on 4chan is a trolling attempt!
>>5300725
I only pointed out that finn wont sell because most of his other toys are NOT selling. I remember going to TRU and Walmart and a few other stores late evening on force friday and the walls were completely stocked with his shit, and every other slot was bare. Call it people being racist or whatever, but his toys are NOT popular. I still say their biggest mistake was the way they introduced him in the initial trailer, they really did make him look like a monkey/black stereotype. If thy had introduced him better, people may have warmed up to him more (I know I PERSONALLY have since the newer trailers have come out).
>>5299853
Is that round 2x2 tile printed?
Is good for Castle mocs.
>>5300737
I agree with the introduction, I don't really think there's been one shot of him in the trailers where he hasn't had his lower lip jutting out and panting. That said, the only bit in the adverts that appealed to me was the first order shit and Han Solo/Chewie for nostalgia.

>>5300870
It looks like it.
>>5300873
Nah man, that'd be this piece.
Still tho I'm hyped for the potential these new parts might offer. I just hope the eventually ship them in more usable colors.

Legit question here, what exactly is the appeal of Jang and his set reviews? From what I've seen of them, he doesn't actually part out the set to show any new parts, or build the set to showcase any intricate techniques. All he seems to do is just point out features that you'd more than likely be able to see for yourself on the box the build comes in.
Not trying to bash the guy or any of his viewers, but it's just something I've always been curious about.
>>5300937
His voice soothes me.
>>5300937
He's a Jew who makes his videos for "Gib youtube money plz" and lies about how he gets his LEGO stuff.
He's also made videos where he spergs out at people who ship things to him in ways he didn't particularly like.
Personally, I think the guy is a bit of a dick, but puts up this fake "wholesome" front.
>>5300937
He usually puts stuff up fast and simultaneously isn't too annoying in most reviews. That's it, if anything it says how bad the others must be rather than how good he is.

Naw, Rey is going to be the one that won't sell. I mean, Finn has a lightsaber AND a gun, kids are gonna eat that shit up. Rey just has a crappy technic axle staff.
>>5301063
that all lives matter
>>5300087
>demon waifu in very affordable set
lego company u da best
>>5301078
Point is, kids HAVENT eaten that shit up yet, and the toys have been out, what, like 5 months now? Between his bad reveal in the first trailer and the fact that nothing is known about him other than:
>black
>storm trooper or ex storm trooper
>can barely breath and sweats way too much
At some point he grabs lukes saber. Who knows what happens from there. (I personally think it might be Jar Jar Abrams pulling another "no, its definitely NOT Khan!" red herring on us, but who really knows at this point.)
Its going to be some time before he is fully accepted. For the record I feel the same way about Rey as well, but she seems to have latched on with the fans a little bit at least.
>>5301054
That wasnt him that made that joke originally, it was me, and the guy who talked about it on /pol/ was not me. I was in that thread though, and laughing along with them at how easy it is to bait other boards sometimes.
Seriously, some people on these other boards need to grow a thicker skin.
And before you start with the "hur dur, /pol/ racist" bullshit, I also earlier said Finn, as a character so far HAS grown on me. And I going into that blind, I have never seen anything else he has been in (Attack the Block, and wasnt he in The Wire, or something?) and dont know if he is a good or mediocre actor, but I do remain open minded about it.
>>5301117
And to finally add to this, dont worry mods and janitors, im not bringing any of this up again right now.
To get back on the topic that this thread is about...
I AM LOVING THESE NEXO SETS, hell, just for the parts ALONE.
Do we have any release dates other than just "January, 2016"? Any prices besides obvious Lava-fu for $10?
Damn, our wallets going to suffer come January. Between these, the new star wars, the new speed champions, the dr. who set AND the ghostbusters HQ......fuck.
>>5300087

Greetings, Familiums.
I'm considering selling some of my used Lego sets to pay for some electric drums. Any tiperinos?
Most sets are from last year, mostly city, some collectible figs, speed train, etc.
>>5301180
Always mark sets as RARE--HTF!!!
>>5301180
Make a bricklink seller page then post it here. Id be interested, what all you got? What prices we talkin?
Tried making the new creator digger.
>>5301325
JCBs just fascinated me as a child. So many moving parts. I might try making a larger one.
>>5301325

There's hope for tinyspookyhouseanon yet!
>>5301180
Bricklink is a great place but even with Ebay's 10% fee, you may still make more there. I've also seen quite a few people sell on craigslist with success.
>>5301336
>tines
Had to look that up. The official set uses black grills.
Hey, would prices in Amazon get less than current prices on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Thanks.

Those crossbow bolts are perfect mage staff toppers.
QUESTION LEGO GEN!
Is the lone ranger train nice?
My plan is to get that and the sea cow, and combine the two into a steampunk train from hell. Would that train be a nice base to start that on? I notice I can get them on ebay for around $100, and I know it doesnt have any power functions with it, but it seems like that wouldnt be too hard to add to it.
>>5301129
The only other prices we know is 100$ for the castle and 45$ (or was it jus 40$) for Jestro's ride, aaand apparently the two smallest non-spinner sets are priced the same as the two smallest Ninjago sets from the cultist wave.
>>5301699
I swear he has US prices listed on his recent stuff after the Brickset partnership
>>5300937
1. I like his voice
2. I like how much passion he puts in reviews
3. I agree many of his reviews seems to be rushed, but I'm glad he does all 3 creators at once.
>>5301129
January for Europe, April for USA
>>5301777
APRIL?
Fucking hell. Im actually kind of surprised that they didnt release the nexos in december, right in time for that christmas hype and rush, especially since this seems to be the thing theyre banking on as their new cash cow...
>nexo knights
the only thing im upset about is related to the shield powers
it seems every set gets at least 1 extra shield, but virtually (literally?) none of them but the ultimate sets actually SHOW the weapons from the alt shields
Clay's Rumble Blade aka the tardtank has three shields, but no extra parts showing what they would be
and the ultimate sets kinda feel like the alt shields are just thrown in as part filler
Ultimate Lavaria's super bitchin poison bomb power is literally just holding two snakes
>>5301785
>new cash cow
They still have Ninjago, Bonkle and SW. If anything, they're doing Europe-wide playtesting for Nexo
>>5301797
You wrote a whole post complaining about that?
>>5301850
You wrote a whole post complaining about him complaining about that?
>>5301785
They have to do that because the factories would not produce the amount for whole world for Jan
>>5301641
Mainly castle related stuff - brickbricks, new arched window pieces, gray bricks, purple leaves from elves and TONS of that glorious new pieces - stud with a bar and transparent neck piece!
>>5301850
no, i wrote a whole post talking about that, hoping people would voice their opinions, or note if they have seen otherwise
"yeah non, thats cool, it is kinda weird the prince has two chicken legs for a power"
or
"no nigger, i glad clays set comes with 4 cool fires and 5 swords, i plan on buying multiple"
but yeah, your way works too guess
>>5301086
>tfw it's not Flama
Hey guys, i still have pic related and also the Dark Developer Mindstorms kit. i know they are both around a 100 bucks on ebay. and i want to get rid of them anyways. would you recommend selling them now or would they get higher in value if i would wait a few years more?
Fooling around.
>>5301797
I have a feeling that majority of the Nexo Powers are buffs on attributes you can't properly portray in Lego..
>like Aaron's speed or Axl's strength in the Fortrex
While some of the visible upgrades may not be noticed at first glance
>Lance's scorpion shield gives him a jet-tail and a spear-tipped lance in Merlok's Library, Aaron gets a fire-shooting crossbow in the lava golem set
And a few could simply be directly linked to the vehicles.
>King's Mech, Clay's Rumble Blade
I don't think the extra shields need to have their powers on display.
>>5301897
I need that helmet piece for bonkle mocs.
>>5301861
I actualy agree with you, that would be a really nice concept!
>>5300136
Still looking for answers on this btw.
Even one track with some sidings and stuff would be fine, I just want something nice for the two (for a front and back half) Horizon Express trains I have that are being delivered to me right now. If I'm able to drive it into a side track and run the Emerald Night sometimes too, even better.

>>5301785
Ninjago and City are the main cash cows, actually, and it's not going to change.
Additionally, while USA seemingly gets Ninjago first and then NK, at least some parts of Europe will get NK in January, but Ninjago (and presumably bonkle) in April.
>>5301358
It does..
>>5302081
>presumably bonkle) in April.
Citation fucking needed.
>>5302085
A thread or two ago some anon listed the release dates from the retail catalogue, I think that might be what he's refering to. I don't recall that post mentioning bonkle though, just Ninjago (April in yurop), NK (January as stated above), city (january everywhere), and mixels (police/music/castle wave in february, the other one in may)
Pretty sure he also said CMF series 15 is set for a february release too.
Anyone a fan of WoW that thinks the Nexo Knights villains could pass as Burning Legion members?
>>5298870
fuck yeah, the 80s!
my first sets ever!
>>5302088
Huh. I remember reading somewhere that Ninjago, Nexo and Bonkle would be out in UK January 1st
>>5302093
>>5302094
That's probably the true, the retail catalog release dates were meant for Poland and we usually get shit later than the west.
>>5302093
>>5302094
Ninjago and Nexo will never come toghether. Just same as Chima 2 years ago.
>>5302116
Exactly. That's also likely why we already have the list of summer Ninjago sets but not of Nexo ones, they'll be split apart by a few months (just like Ninjago and Atlantis/Monster Fighters and then Chima before).
>>5302125
Its funny. I was looking at some classic space set, because I used to have ALL of them and am not sure if I do anymore. The prices they want for them are ridiculous, and I found that bricklinking the parts for quite a few of them is like 75% LESS than what people are charging.
>>5299320
Wow
>>5300314
Nice gams Akbar
>>5302144
News flash. Parting out expensive set is cheaper than getting whole thing. More at 11
>>5302152
Try that with a modular and get back to me, faggot.
>>5302144
Yeah, I know what you mean. I ended up buying some key pieces like yellow canopies and building my own CS stuff.
>>5302165
I can part out Cafe Corner for $250 instead of $500 they ask for full one
>>5301717
Die in a fire.
>>5302256

>>5301890
Should have sold them in 2010 and could have gotten double. Value just decreases now because of better re-releases.

not really
>>5302187
You should be able to get waaaaay more than that, in both instances.
Cafe Corner goes for like, $1000, opened. I've seen ones that are missing the minifigures and only about, 80% complete go for $600 or more.
And parting out might put you just under what you'd get for the complete set.
The Green Grocer has some sand green pieces exclusive to that set, about 50 or 60 pieces (the sand green with the notch in it, I think) and they sell for a good $3~$4 each.
>>5301527
Lol.
