First for 2016 SW sets in Canada when?
So my first experience at the Lego Store was very pleasant. Got my King's Mech and promo pack. Pick-a-Brick was lacking anything exciting. Unfortunately also the Klinkers Mixels were sold out. I needed that Jinxy.
Does anyone with the King's Mech also have an issue with the right arm not wanting to stay up due to weight on the joint? I didn't know if it was a defective balljoint or just design flaw.
>>5430504
Also I haven't bought a set in ages. Do they normally come with this many spare parts? Are the spare parts random for each box? I got an extra beard which I was surely excited for. Threw it on one of my forestman.
>>5430507
The NEXO Knights stuff has been coming with a ton of extra shit I've found.
>>5430507
whoa dude, you got an extra beard in the kings mech? And its ginger? I was JUST looking at those for a figure I want to send to someone, and thats the perfect shade. PLEASE tell me the extra beard is normal!!!!
>>5430507
Girlfriend wanted a custom minifig so I ofc had to accept and make two of my own to meet the requirement of 3. Place was packed and we were definitely the only adults there without children. She wanted to score my a cat to go with the Kingdoms Blacksmith set I just got in the mail. She made what I'm guessing is a female cyborg burglar. I needed some castle females so I said what the hell.
Tried to get a orgasm face for the green dress but the girlfriend said it looked silly and basically grabbed me out a different head. That made me sad.
>>5430516
Well that is good to know. I'm not too worried about it. I've got mine arm in the same position as on the box so its w/e.
>>5430507
basically anything the size of a 1x1 plate, OR a held item generally gets at least 1 extra now
nexo knights (and the new star wars) give you a shitton of whatever "bullet" comes with a shooter now
the logic is pretty much "we dont want to deal with bitching if anything smaller than a 1x1 is missing, just give one extra of each"
given how the extras work though, i actually find it a bit hard to believe that 1x2 plate is extra
>>5430527
Well thanks for the info. I wonder where I missed a 1x2. Fuck.....
>>5430529
oh, one other note
its one extra per bag, each piece that follows that rule
so for wu's dragon for example, iirc, theres 4 extra katanas of three different colors, the trans sword, two gold sticks, two gold sword handles, and an axe blade, all extra
thats a shitton of extra weapons, because their held items are over three separate bags
glad you found where that 1x2 went though, especially that quick. normally something that "big" doesn't get an extra, so i was certainly curious
Is there a way to search for multiple parts on bricklink? There are a couple parts that I want and stores always seem to have one part and not the other. Thinking about just getting them on Pick-a-brick so I can get the Nexo Knight intro pack
>>5430558
create wanted list
view by shop
sort by lots (unique)
Speaking of bricklink why do I have to log in every five seconds, goddamn 1980s vintage website.
>>5430536
Seriously, this set must be the best released set for pieces.
>>5430504
>DAT BEARD
damn i wish this ginger beard was without that stupid "medieval haircut"
you could build such a fine lamberjack or bear with this beard but no. It has some retarded "hair" attached to it.
>>5430651
The beard isn't attached to the hair dude. It's the same as the recent CMF King.
>>5430654
oh im sorry then. I still should get that king...
who else got the new wave?
>>5430664
I have the shark, Ultimate Warrior and the robot man.
Still need to get a bunch more. Shame that none of the waifus really appeal to me this time, but we just got Nexo with a bunch of them, so I guess it evens out.
>>5430678

I like the Skunk lady. One of my favorites in the wave.

Sorry for the blog post /lg/. I think you guys are the only ones that understand this. I told a friend about it and he just asked: this is about lego?
>>5430851
Do you have a picture of your collection before that happened ?
Anyway i feel you mate. I alway used to get mad when some people steal my minifig, but then again i stole some to the same people, i guess that's more like trading

Should've gotten the Wookie ship. I wanted the X-wing but the store didn't have any.
At least I now have Hera. And it's not like I won't get every one eventually, I have all 12 previous ones already.
>>5430892
Probably the pop singer CMF girl if the selection was similar to my LEGO store recently.
Best LEGO o face would be from any of the Christmas Caroling minifigs. Even has blushed cheeks looking like they're ready for a facial.

>>5430998
I like to think so. I've been taking it apart slowly whenever I need the pieces, but it was pretty great when I had it together. I was planning on combining it with the Unimog set, but life happens.
So I've been working on another batch of cars. It's a pretty big one this time.
Individual pictures to follow.

I don't know what to get. I want an AT-ST, a Republic Gunship, TIE Defender, TIE Bomber and the Home One Mon Calamari Cruiser, but at the same time I'm going kinda "eeeh" and browsing through every single Star Wars set released between 1999 and now to see if anything catches my interest. It's maddening.

ohhh yess.
>>5431221
Hasn't there been a couple of Turbo tanks and A-wings and advanced TIEs in the past? Can't you just BL those?
>>5431251
She wasn't on Kashyyk so why would she be with the Turbo Tank set in Kashyyk?
>>5431256
Yeah there's been at least one TIE Advanced X1 that I could buy, but it costs 70 euros used.
That's my main problem with most of those sets that I listed, they all cost ridiculous amounts for the parts you get, so I can't choose which one would be the least stupid thing to buy.
I've also got the 2013 A-Wing here, I just like the one in the Mon Calamari Cruiser a lot more.
>>5431251
But she wasn't on Kashyyk, she was on Felucia, she should be either in a AT-TE or AT-OT

>Darth Vadar’s TIE Advanced (75150) – £29.99 – Includes 4 minifigures. Set has Vader’s TIE Advanced and an A-Wing.
Is it possible these two are mixed up or something? There's no way the Luggabeast set is £50, I imagine it's no larger than a Droid Escape set.
The last A-Wing at £25 and Tie at £30 makes this price somewhat believable, however I imagine it'd be closer to £60/£70. Maybe if the fighters are a little smaller.
>>5431318
Yeah that's probably likely.

And yeah it's like $400 - 600 worth of stupid idiot kid's toys. I just happened to be gifted Cloud City back when it was in stores and only last year did I realize the value of all of it.

Hey Lego General. I have something special for you!

Here is original script of Lego the movie. IMO a lot better than the movie we get. I wish we get many of the featured figs though. enjoy your read and share your toughts!

>Suddenly, we are blinded by a powerful TUNNEL OF LIGHT. It’s an animated LEGO version of the light tunnel in 2001, which was directed by Stanley Kubrick, who knows a thing or two about making movies, so don’t step.
I do much prefer the actual movie to what I'm reading so far, though. Having a licensed character as a main character isn't a great idea.
>>5431843
>He read for like....a page
Emmet is still the main character. Indy just took the opening scene from Vitruvious, who is still in the movie.
>>5430816
That looks great! I've been thinking about how to put one together.
>>5431921
Thanks. I'm still not totally happy with it but i can throw it together in ldd if you want to see how it's built.
Thinking about making a minifig scale Command Shuttle.
Do you think this is a good start ? Should i make the wings taller ? larger ?

Oh my! They are really perfect for that.
75145 Eclipse Fighter - £34.99
This set is based on an upcoming LEGO Star Wars animated series and features two minifigures, one of whom is armed with a red lightsaber, as well as a predominantly black craft and a small speeder bike. The Eclipse Fighter itself looks decent and includes lots of curved slopes and tiles which form attractive bodywork.
Presumably some hinge plates are used inside to create a wedge shape as both sides of the fuselage are angled horizontally towards the back of the model. The cockpit is set at the rear of the craft and holds a single minifigure while the speeder bike is a separate vehicle entirely and belongs to the other minifigure, who is seen riding it on the packaging.
75147 Star Scavenger - £49.99
Four minifigures are included in this set, one of which is a droid represented at the toy fair by a Battle Droid in dark orange, although I don’t know whether that will be the final minifigure or not. The hammerhead-shaped bridge section holds just one minifigure and there are weapons mounted on either side, rather like 75025 Jedi Defender Class Cruiser.
The rear section is fairly substantial and includes two thrusters as well as angled armour plating which covers each flank of the vessel and extends far enough to form small wings. Inside is a vehicle with a shovel mounted on the front which can be removed for scavenging operations, as the name would suggest. The entire model is light bluish grey and dark bluish grey with dark blue highlights and looked rather messy to me, borrowing features or many other craft and combining them to form an ugly craft.
75148 Encounter on Jakku - £49.99
I had high hopes for this set and am very pleased with the results. Rey, BB-8, Unkar Plutt, Teedo and another Jakku Thug are included along with Teedo’s Luggabeast which is mainly brick built but includes some new leg elements which are articulated independently. This model measured about 15cm in length. I cannot comment on the quality of the minifigures as they were not shown.
Unkar Plutt’s junk shop at Niima Outpost also appears in the set and looks as ramshackle as it is in the movie. A couple of small huts and tents are spread across a 16x16 plate and a 8x16 plate along with lots of small assemblies which represent old engines and other bits of scrap harvested from crashed Rebel and Imperial starships.
75149 Resistance X-wing Fighter - £79.99
This set looks like a replica of 75102 Poe’s X-wing fighter, albeit with a blue and white colour scheme rather than orange and black. The model offers few new functions but the Hyperdrive is removable from the rear of the fighter. I was hoping the laser cannon concealed underneath would be present but unfortunately it is not. A small piece of Tuanal village is included with a pop-up flame feature to replicate the incineration of the settlement in the opening scene of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Four minifigures are found in this set: Poe Dameron wearing his jacket, BB-8, Lor San Tekka and a Flame Trooper. These were not shown but I expect Poe’s hair piece will be the same as that of Superman in the current Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice sets.
75150 Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced and A-wing Fighter - £79.99
This is one of two sets based on Star Wars Rebels which were shown at the toy fair and is the better of the two in my opinion. Both Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced and the A-wing Fighter are the best versions of the respective craft yet due to the increased level of detail. The TIE Advanced is a little stubbier than previous versions to replicate the style seen in Rebels and includes a pair of spring loaded shooters in place of the laser cannons, just like 75082 TIE Advanced Prototype.
The A-wing is slightly larger than earlier models and features a new light bluish grey and dark green colour scheme. Two missiles are hidden underneath and the cockpit canopy is hinged to allow the pilot access. Best of all, the fins mounted above and below each thruster are angled to replicate their onscreen appearance perfectly!
Sabine Wren, an A-wing Pilot, Darth Vader and a minifigure listed only as ‘Grand Moff’ are included. Darth Vader’s helmet sculpt has been altered yet again to reflect the stylised version from Star Wars Rebels while the ‘Grand Moff’ is presumably Tarkin, who appeared in the first season, or a different character who has yet to be seen in the animated series. I suspect it is Grand Moff Tarkin, although Darth Vader and his TIE Advanced did not appear until season two and have yet to share the screen with Tarkin.
75151 Clone Turbo Tank - £99.99
I am quite disappointed by this set. The model is significantly smaller than 8098 Clone Turbo Tank, using these wheel elements which are moulded in dark bluish grey and capped with six stud wide dish elements. The suspension is similar to earlier versions of the Juggernaut and many of the play features are familiar too. An AT-RT can be placed inside the main hold and there are firing missiles mounted on both sides. The most interesting new function is the raising lookout tower which is controlled using a gear inside the tank. This works perfectly and is faithful to the movie but at the cost of its appearance which is spoiled by the visible gear racks.
The minifigure selection is equally mediocre in my view, consisting of a Clone Scout Trooper, Commander Gree, two Battle Droids, Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos. The last two of those are the most appealing but both have appeared in sets before, albeit with Star Wars: The Clone Wars styling.
75157 Captain Rex’s AT-TE Walker - £99.99
This too fell below my expectations, although it is quite a good set on the whole and I was perhaps too optimistic before seeing the model. I am impressed by the interior detail and the general shape of the model is accurate to the television series but it is smaller than I had anticipated and the bright colours of the platforms on the vehicle look odd in LEGO. Some colourful panelling appears on the AT-TE in Rebels but this is badly worn, an effect which cannot be replicated using the colours which are available to LEGO designers at present.
Captain Rex, Commander Wolffe and Gregor are included along with a Stormtrooper and an Inquisitor. The labelling did not specify which Inquisitor this is and the actual minifigure was not shown but I would assume it will be either the Seventh Sister or the Fifth Brother as both have only appeared in season two just like the Clones and their AT-TE.

He has for a not so important background character quite some text.
Officially his role was bigger and they let him chase Rey to Takodana where he threats her.
When Chewie came to the rescue and Unker made a stupid joke about his injured arm Chewie took Unkars arm of his body. After they enter the castle of Maz, chewie drops the arm on a table, but J.J. thought it was maybe to bloody for the film.
Lego architecture?
>>5432080
Nigga if you think LEGO hasn't thought of every set to make for Star Wars you're a fucking idiot.
It's the most popular IP of the most profitable toy company in the entire world.
Some fat nerd who clicked some bricks together for Star Wars isn't revolutionizing anything, especially when its from their most recent movie.
Fucking stuff that's barely getting leaked out right now was probably on the works before any neckbeard even saw TFA.
>>5432091
yeah, i get they've though of it, but that doesn't mean they have plans to make it
>>5431251
This is the Ep. III version (the first we've seen since 2005), which was on Kashyyyk.
>>5432051
You mean Dazzling Lure?
>>5432100
Even with 10000 votes, they wouldn't accept a user submitted set for a franchise of that calibur.
You do know that the creators of successful Ideas set get like 1% of the total sales of said sets, right?
For an existing IP that's owned by Disney, they'd just reject and make their own to cut that person out, using the Ideas project as a mere market study.
I don't think anyone who's had an accepted Ideas project has been some regular Joe NEET. These people have actual careers.
>>5432112
>I don't think anyone who's had an accepted Ideas project has been some regular Joe NEET. These people have actual careers.
That's probably because, in spite of the fact that LEGO is a "toy" to casuals, most of the people who actually work for LEGO are actual engineers, architects, etc.
You actually have to have some prestige going into work as a designer, so I'm sure they'd want some of that to carry over to the sets that are being submitted as Ideas projects.

Just when I thought I already had enough of the LED keychains
>>5431256
There have been two Turbo Tanks, Ep. III (7261) in 2005 and CW (8098) in 2010.
The first TIE Advanced was in 7150 in 1999, and unless you like the original blocky sets, it's pretty meh. The next one was in 2004 in the TIE Collection, and it's a slight improvement over the original (and 10131 is a really hard-to-find set). The 2009 version (8017) was pretty good.
A-wings have been more plentiful.
7134, the crappy first one in 2000;
6207, a good improvement in 2006;
A green one in 7754, the Home One set, in 2009;
75003, which was better yet, in 2013.
>>5431186
Of course. You can't pick up a base or location set and swoosh it around. Why do you think SW did so much better than Harry Potter?
>no location sets in themes I like never ever
>>5432023
>>5432148
I do not mind this. It just means I can safely say no to the set without feeling any gnawing sense of regret, just like with all the decently-designed CW sets that had hideous minifigs. Between saying no to Rebels, CW, UCS, Microfighters, and CCBS figures, I've cut my checklist by at least 60%.
>>5432182
Lego doesn't want a repeat of this. Location sets are hard to do without making them $300, which automatically means 80%+ will be snapped up by collectors and scalpers on day 1.
>>5431124
>>5431128
Man, and I thought I'd be busy with the first half of Elves, Ninjago, and Nexo Knights. AND there's those Legendary Pirates Enlighten sets. I need to win the lottery and add a Lego room to my house.
>>5432190
That set is mad garbage
I should know
>>5432111
I mean if they are LED exclusive and if they have different shields for different characters.
It could be just Mock-ups with one shield design.
>>5432195
Is...is "mad garbage" a good thing or bad thing? I'm not up on all the hip cats' new 'Net slang.
All I know is when 10-year-old me saw it on the back of the Lego catalog, I knew I absolutely had to have it.
>tfw I never did
>>5432209
I mean it's pointless and awful. It's a big block of three different things jammed together, with a huge landing pad out back.
One of the reasons it's expensive is because almost no one liked it or bought it when it was released.
>New batcave
>New Quinn set
>Possible Killer Croc and Scarecrow sets
>Bionicle summer 2016

I love bionicle.
Should I just stop after 2017?
Should I stop collecting batman?
Should I sell my marvel sets?
>>5432220
Well Bionicle 2016 has been pretty bad so far and going by the leaks it aint getting any better
>>5432213
Really, "Big" SW playsets are always kinda crappy. I mean as that other guy said, you have to make them really expensive to make them nice. Like that huge Ewok village was really nice....I mean, as nice as a huge ass Ewok village can be.
But usually you get weird shit like this. And then they basically just sorta remade this set a couple more times for later playsets.
>>5432209
Other anon is right. I've heard it sucks from multiple people. Even the minifigs suck. Look at that garbage Boba
>>5432173
It's also worth noting the the A-Wings featured in Rebels are an earlier model, and different than those seen in ep. VI, beyond artstyle changes.
>>5432213
The release of the Death Star Final Duel and Carbon Freeze Chamber have given me more hope for newer, better SW playsets.
Pic related was what we started with.
>>5432236
IIRC, this set was chosen out of a poll--it was more a boon to the fans than anything else.
>And then they basically just sorta remade this set a couple more times for later playsets.
How so?
>>5432236
>Jedi massacre playset.
you know.

>>5432241
You shut your whore mouth Cloud City Boba was God-tier
But seriously, the Boba Fett minifig was the first (ever, IIRC) to have /arm printing/.
>>5432243
Neat, did not know that.
>>5432236
Last years Death Star Final Duel was very well-done, imho desu bakka senpai chan sama tenkaichi vs tatsunoku chan
>>5432249
>How so?
Well, this recent final Dual set was really similar in a lot of ways.
But the Palpatine's Arrest set was just kinda....bad. If for no other reason than it was nearly a $100 set, and was, 660 pieces or something.
Only way it wasn't totally highway robbery was the fact that every minifigure, except maybe Kid Fister was exclusive to that set.
>>5432236
Is this the set with most Jedi/Sith minifigs?
>>5432241
Hey, I said the set was garbage, not the figs.
The Boba and Lando figs in that set were great. Boba especially, that level of detail around that time in LEGO's history was unheard of.
>>5432195
I agree with this anon. Minifigures were the best reason to get it, but the little playsets were too small to be enjoyable. If they came out with playsets of each of those sections (like they already did with the Carbonite Freezing Chamber) then it might be nice to put them all together. Otherwise, you're left with only small parts of otherwise cool scenes.
Hopefully they will make one of these into a set

What the fuck are Stormtroopers doing in the Old Republic?
Also is this a shot from the Rebels or a painting?
I am single handedly probably making up most of the yearly income for a particular shop on Bricklink.
I've made multiple orders from his shop. But last nights was the most expensive.
He is one of the most popular on the site. I wonder how much money he makes.
>>5432291
>tfw 0% chance for an ebon hawk set

Its not the old republic its from rebels, they still use the old ships
>>5432262
Nope, Master Fister came out in the Jedi starfighter/hyperdrive ring set in 2007 (albeit without a cape).
What made the Sheev's Arrest set different, though, was that it had new versions of Palpatine, Anakin, Mace, and Saesee Tiin besides the CW versions. Agen Kolar was new.
>>5432267
In one set? I think so.
>>5432304
>He is one of the most popular on the site. I wonder how much money he makes.
Probably a lot, if he gets a lot of suckers like you paying those types of prices.
>>5432309
>still using old ships from over a thousand years ago
Are you fucking sure.
Besides you might have guessed from the question after the first one that I realised it's from the Rebels. I'm just questioning why.
