Second for not having a "backlog" lying around.
Why would you make a new thread when the current one still has 30 open images?
>sees challenge list
Oh, this is a troll thread. Well, I'm sure someone will make a real new thread when the old one is finished.
Previous thread is a shithole, lets post castles.

Just report any Trump posts. Simple as that.
I had never heard of these til I went to TRU today, pretty neat set.

See you guys in a month I guess.
This thread is dogshit. Let's make a new one.
Just report any American posts. Simple as that.

I was to see a bumble bee from this set!
What's the best way of making BL purchases? Cheapest, most efficient strategy.
I've been meaning to post this for a couple days now; might as well before the thread goes off the rails.
>>5557829
I think most people here use Brickficency or something along that line.
>>5557832
Not like parting out, I mean legitimately making purchases. Should I try to game the currency exchange? Look for the closest possible stores?
>Trump meme lego thread
I guess I'll just wait for the next one.
>>5557832
And some of the details on the back, including a tent and some spare fuel cans.
Thoughts?
>>5557826
They're all the parts for my new alien/bug figure.
>>5557829
Use a wanted list to try and narrow down things you want to a number of stores. Use the "unique lots" organization option to make sure stores have more of the medley of parts you want.

Use a wanted list to try and narrow down things you want to a number of stores. Use the "unique lots" organization option to make sure stores have more of the medley of parts you want.
When buying parts, use the catalog and the "lowest price" option. I usually go for quantity as opposed to just cheapness, and quantity also shows you which stores have both the largest and cheapest selection of the desired part.

>almost no money
>but i need those "nexo knights armor-minifigure sets"
Been thinking about those for 3 days and finally made an offer in the internet store.
Fuck..im going to get fucked and all that is my problem.
But those 2 sets are really cool and useful + lots of details i needed.
Anyone been there? Completely fucking up his wallet due to lego being some kind of drugs that you cant stop injecting in your brain veins?
At least my hobby contains really tiny stuff that is easy to store. Otherwise my place would look like some autist fest with toys standing everywhere...
That's what i like in my toy hobby completely going into Lego direction with no more action figures. I just have plastic containers and few favorite sets standing there and that's soo practical and neat.
PS:
I still feel guilt and embarassement thought. My grandmother will not like that. I get money from my job, not from her, yet she feels sad when she see me spending hard earned money on toys...
>>5557869
>yet she feels sad when she see me spending hard earned money on toys...
This makes me wanna work out, get a job and get a gf
>>5557874
I'm not that anon, but I live with my grandmother and am in the process of applying for disability.
It's fucking soul crushing how much she worries about me and goes above and beyond to make my life better, no matter the cost to herself. I wish, desperately, that I could get a job and take care of her instead.
If you are capable, make the most of yourself, anon. For those of us out here that can't.
I tried to throw together a little mini Blade Wolf in LDD.
Any good?
>>5557874
i have a job, and everything (i actually dont have gf because of job - im planning to move to capital of my country and don't want any connections in my little town. So i work hard/saving money to my bank account and basically job+Lego is my only 2 things in life).
Yet i think that if i wasnt buying lego i could have more money.
But the thought that makes me feel okay about this - Why not to spend money on something that makes you happy?
Im working hard and get exausted. And i would feel so miserable if i didn't had this happy colorful hobby. Lego makes me happier and more motivated so i can keep working hard and going full autism with building up my own stories in lego world.
Yet...yeah. Some situations like this bring some serious embarassement.
>>5557882
>It's fucking soul crushing how much she worries about me and goes above and beyond to make my life better, no matter the cost to herself.
Same here. I love that i have her. She is my connection with reality. My inner voice. She makes me appreciate the value of things and importance of getting your shit together before it is too late.

This why i never leave 4chan.
>>5557884
Family should appreciate Hobbys,My parents and gf dont give a fuck that I spend so much on Lego,Its not drink or drugs. It chills me the the fuck out, Its great finishing work and coming home to a nice bricklink order and just building!
Pic related is what im working on, Just got to lengthen the floor above the quinjet and I have two more floors in the post coming this weekend!!
>>5557883
Looking good.
see what it looks like with wolverine claws.
it might make it worst but its worth a try
>>5557897
i love this. I was having kinda the same idea when i was seeing this in store. Thinking that somebody could buy few of those and build a bigger tower.
PS: My mother was supportive about legos, she liked that i can earn money and even buy toys. But she died and grandmother lives with me but she wasn't that close and don't understand this hobby that much due to being a little too old with that. Also part of that is that there is not "plan B" in a term of money. When mother was alive and if i suddenly didn't earn that much i could ask her for some money.
I guess grandmother just worrying that if i will be in such situation i could be poor because i don't have other people to count on with "money problems".
However being able to buy lego really motivates me to be better and earn more.
>>5557902
Look a bit too long, and a bit too far off the ground. Shame.
>>5557869
>>5557874
>>5557884
>>5557894
If I were relying on somebody else to live, I couldn't spend money on toys. Thankfully that isn't the case currently and I am able to buy as much Lego as I would like an can afford, without feeling guilty about it. My girlfriend was initially hesitant about the hobby but after a little gentle persuasion she is becoming about as obsessed as I am and we just did our first big Lego store order together. Basically, I agree with the other posters. If you're throwing your life away by buying Lego then I think somebody ought to confront you about it, but if it's perfectly sustainable then any friends and family worth their salt will support you. My parents make fun of me about it but still buy me Lego on birthdays.
>>5557913
Its got to the point where my dad now buys Lego on Ebay and builds the sets and then sells them on :D

>>5557914
My dad did that fairly lucratively with old consoles a couple of years ago. He bought bundles of Super Nintendos and Nintendo 64s with games, kept the games, and resold the consoles, and he now has one of each console and a fuckload of games plus made a whole bunch of profit.
Anyway, Lego General, I have a question for you. I have recently acquired Benny's Spaceship!!, and I am absolutely enamored with it. However, I want to man it with a suitable crew of spacemen. Is there any decent way to get classic blue lego spacemen? Or should I try to use something more modern? I blew the last of my Lego budget on this set so I don't want to spend huge amounts per person on minifigures. It looks like there'll be about seven or eight spots for pilots and crew in the ship. I don't mind using something more modern if it still fits the theme, or has the classic space logo.
Ideas?
>>5557914
>my dad now buys Lego on Ebay and builds the sets and then sells them on :D
wow can you show any of them?
An older person being able to enter Lego and even upgrade a creativity so far he could sell sets.
Or you mean just regular lego sets? Not his own creations?

>Reading a review on the Maze set

>>5557929
I'm already looking on Bricklink but I'm asking for ideas as well.
>>5557930
>The fuck is this shit
Kids were APPARENTLY fucking up with axles and pegs, so Lego Company color coded them...
>>5557921
Theres so much damn support in it. Might remove the floor under the quinjet as it just doesnt look big enough anymore, Id lose a floor in the process but Im getting shitloads of pieces this weekend anyway.
(Pic is how it would look after losing that floor)
Whats /lg/'s opinion on the Duplo figure?
Does it work? Do kids like it? Would you change it? How would you change it? Is there a crossover with mining collectors?
When I see one I get kinda bemused by it, I can't work out if it's suitable for purpose, or a bit of a relic that could do with overhaul. Tell me what to feel /lg/!
alternative portal gun, not as slick as the molded gun but not rubbery!
>>5557942
Why in the FUCK did they make it out of rubber?
I just got that set, and could barely get her to hold the damned thing, and now whenever I go to turn it, im afraid im going to twist the handle right off.
>>5557931
>cmf s15 spessman?
>ik its white but it has classic logo on
That could work. If only Intergalactic Girl came in blue.
>>5557921
>>5557930
All the 1H Technic sets have them. The Bucket Wheel Excavator will most likely use the yellow ones for the railings on its walkways, and there's a hint of orange ones appearing in the Volvo Excavator and the Porsche.
Already have a shitload of axles in red from years ago, as well as some green, white and tan. Also a few 32M yellow ones from fire station sets. I'm looking forward to having these in more colours to have more options for making MOCs look better.
It's not like the black and grey axles are going to suddenly be scarce either - you can still get black 3M friction pegs for cheap.
What do you guys think the absolute cheapest set made up of 50-100 pieces if you parted them out on BrickLink is?
>>5557960
Something from the Znap theme
>using BrickWizard and get something like "unable to retrieve store information".
What does that mean
Also, is eBay ever an option for Lego? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new to the second-market

I think I might use regular classic space guys as the pilots, but my idea for marines is this:
>buy pic related
>put translucent torso and blue helmet over classic space body
>give helmet a black or trans-yellow visor
>use translucent orange disc as shield with blue sword
>use studs on the back to build a brick-jetpack
Too bad it'd cost me a million dollars to make like five of them.
>>5558027
Buy a modular, learn to replicate the building techniques.

Holy fuck how nice a guy can this dude be?
>>5558184
It says it shipped, I never got a follow-up email saying it was out of stock, and it's at the post office in my town, so fingers crossed.
>>5557271
>JANG IS SOOO PRETTY
>>mfw never gonna have a gay relationship with him
>why live
Hahaha. What the actual fuck?
I was just thinking about saying something like that in this thread.
Every thread i want to bring up the fact that i really really love to listen to Jang's voice (its so sweet it goes nicely through my ears so i want to hear it again) and after seeing his photos i wanted to have a relationship with him too.
PS:
However im mostly into older man and this Jang from your video is younger one from 2010. He looks much better, more mature right now and much more appealing (+ he has a bear if im not mistaken).
Back then he looked like an awkward latino boy - eww.
>>5558215
Well, lets hope the chinese get it in their heads to knockoff some dimensions then, and make the fucking thing out of plastic.
Fuck lego can be stupid as fuck sometimes, jesus christ.
Can someone let me in on some details of jang's life? Not anything creepy, I just like learning about the man behind the mask. Also I've seen his website.
How is this? Ma got it for me (she went to the Art of the Brick exhibit in NYC) a year or two back and it's just sitting on my shelf. Is it worth wasting bricklinking and shitposting time on?
yo the build on black panther's jet is really nice
>>5558229
There was an attempt.
>>5558252
>that Harley
jesus fuck what is that?
Did some more work on my stage. Added some small lights and made a pair of amps.
>>5558252
>Harley
AH HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA
I need that figure, holy SHIT.
Closer shot of the amps, need some faceplates. Anyone got any ideas of good ones for guitar/bass amps?
Sup lego. Tell me why NOBODY ever talks about Lego Vikings series?!
It was an awesome unique series but it is COMPLETELY forgotten and abandoned by everybody these days.
I remember going to college back then and seeing these and i didn't bought any of those because all of my money were going to college shit and random non-toy stuff.
And then i completely forgot about them for years.
Now i see them and i remember how i wanted it. it was like a new updated unique castle sets.
And vikings NEVER returned after that! Why? Vikings are awesome.
PS:
Also holy shit i had no idea that the boat is that huuge!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO-JWK-u_ik
>>5558273
also pircelated set is my favorite so far. I was seeing it back then and thinking "wow Lego matured a lot. This looks so complicated and not so lego at all!".
May be this why nobody remembers them? Because it didnt had that much bricks?
However i look at it now and kinda dont like all those visible technic stuff. But still this is impressive. And i love the wolf head.
>>5558278
Holy SHIT.
That has to be the most fucking METAL lego box I have ever seen.
>>5558252
>Harley
>>5557930
It's probably a one time thing due to the mechanical complexity of the set.
>>5558280
>>5558278
>>5558273
Also look at this badass pinty lego dragon head mold.
I had no idea it exists.
It seems that with this series lego wanted to go more badass and metal but i guess it didnt work?
Because i have never seen dragons with this head.
That last lego castle had another duplo dragon heads...
What stops Lego from making bank off of all these Chinese knockoffs? Sue their asses and run off with the dough?
>>5558320
they are probably too poor to sue
So the guy I bought some instructions off included a parts list in a word document and I am curious is there a way I can import that to bricklink or some shit or am I going to have to add that stuff on my own.
>>5558320
They sue one company and a 'different' company will be up and running a week later. Also, the Chinese government will never crackdown on bootleggers of any sort.
>>5558320
They probably don't think it's worth the effort.
>>5558320
Multiple things.
For one, generally copyright is non-existant in china. For another, when you see a company name, like "shen yuan" for instance, its a dummy name. Some of these "brands" are all made by the same group, and they just change the names around.
And finally, a lot of these companies know whats going on, and are willing to take the small hit just to use chinas manufacturing and cheap labour.
Take apple for instance.
The factory that makes their charging cables for their iphones and what have you, is the EXACT SAME FACTORY where the knockoffs of the very same cable come from. This has been confirmed by people who work for sites like Deal Extreme and Lighttake and many of the sites where you can buy knockoff consumer products.
Ive posted my theories on how the chinese factories get access to the lego molds and release shit earlier than lego does (IE: the ninjago sky pirates sets.), but it always turns into a thread derailer, so I wont, just do some research, come up with your own theories about that.
As a final note, as >>5558334
just said, most lawyers know that trying to take on the iron rice patty isnt worth it. Itll sit in the courts for years bleeding cash and time, while in the meantime all the chinese "companies" will just change their brand names and shuffle their boards of directors around.
>>5558241
I have that book, it's okay.
>>5558336
And to add to all of this, say what you want about the scruples of knockoff dealers, some of them are pretty honest guys.
The guys who work for deal extreme, for instance, will outright tell you to NEVER buy USB drives or memory sticks or even hard drives from them, as they are made out of inferior parts and even reprogrammed to read a higher storage than they actually are (IE: guy reprograms a 1gb USB drive to read as a 16gb. You will never know, until you put more than 1gb on it.).
They are telling you NOT to give them money for certain items. The only reason they carry them is its a batch deal, "you sell our shit, you sell some of our USB drives too." type of situation.
Sorry for the offtopic, just always think the world of chinese bootlegging is a very interesting thing, and others might think so too.
LEGO!
>>5558330
>>5558381
Bought some custom instructions for a MOC and the person I got it from included a part's list. Being someone who does not use Bricklink much I was asking if I could import the parts list he gave me to my wanted list on Bricklink.
>>5557935
But the 2-length pegs were the only ones with notches in them! They had a tell already!

I think there is a way to do this via XML but I can't remember how this works, there's a how-to on Bricklink.
See, I post a pic showing an update, asking for advice, a legitimate post about lego, and this is what it becomes.
No hope.
Sweet, free image slots
Thank you Mr. Janitor!
Thank you janitor-kun for not deleting my stage pics.
I seriously just wanted advice.
>>5558507
I think the advice was "Ditch the pink, add fire".
I just walked to my mailbox four blocks away in the snow at midnight to check if my Chicken Dude was in it.
Apparently it is actually inside the post office.
>>5558507
>I seriously just wanted advice.
you was literally given one. With full explanation of color structure and why it dont fit to that stage if its not a goth girl band for target group of pre 20s girls.
You can whine about being trolled but seriously - dont be a retard and google colors yourself.
>>5558512
Sadly my reply asking about the plates was deleted in the purge.
I asked if the plates should be black or gray? I feel black would just turn the whole thing into a big black blob, kind of like how a lot of star wars ships suffer from "gray box syndrome". Partially I kept them that way because, I dont know if you have ever performed on a black stage and had the misfortune of meeting the edge of it (I have. Not fun.), generally you want some color, preferably UV reactive. Thus I will be keeping the yellow stripes for sure as gaffers tape (or however its called).
Also, as I originally asked, I wanted to know what some of you think would be good faces for the amp heads? Which printed 1x2 or 1x4 plates would represent a good guitar/bass amp head.
>>5558519
Just dont, please.
>>5558512
Also, shit, forgot to mention that I already have a bunch of pyro addons for it, so thats covered.
>>5558003
Okie doke.
>>5558522
>generally you want some color, preferably UV reactive
Have you considered adding blacklights to your photo setup
>>5558529
Thats actually on my list for a better photog setup, yes. We have a few strings of blacklight christmas lights in the archeway right by where a lot of our lego is on display, and I always love seeing the UV parts lit up from it.
I don´t have any legos
>>5558530
What the heck
Before I go to bed, I'm going to dump the UV-reactive pieces that I've cataloged so far. If anyone wants to contribute with rare or otherwise unmentioned pieces, please list their part numbers and colors.

>>5558613
I see you went for the wider face! I'd say it's paying off, she's looking nice. All you really need to do now is add some orange to her tail.
You could probably remove the 1x2 plates from the back of the feet without any problems.

.50 cal weapons platform on the back.
>>5558618
Add a proper seat so the lady on the back doesn't fall off
Add some studs or 1x1s for lights
You can use the 1x1 studs on the bike body for exhausts or other features
I have a trike like that myself, I took advantage of the towball socket on the back to add a trailer.

Is that the ark of the covenant to the left of the canons?
>>5558675
I can't figure out the cause. Imma mess with the head contruction a bit.
>>5558685
Post the internal construction for me. I might be able to give you a hand. I suspect it's because (if you've built it the way i think you have) you're using the brackets the wrong way around.
>>5558691
Yeah, I think that's the cause. I was using the brackets on the left before, which bowed out. I am now digging around to make a second bracket like the one on the right.
>tfw you figure out the problem on your own.
>>5558698
Yeah brackets can be a bit fuckey. They don't *technically* fit the way they're meant to, like you discovered. I think it's an issue with the mold.
Either way you seemed to have this under wraps so I'll leave you to it. Good lick.
>>5558633
Small progress update and yes it is the ark of the covenant next to the cannons was watching indy when I started building and wanted to make the ark.

Yikes. Those arches need to drop by at least one level.
>>5557810
Whats that? You want me to do a Trump moc?
>>5558748
You won't do it. You're too low energy.
>>5557810
>>5558706
Eh, it helped, but I guess it can't permanently be removed.
I fixed her neck joint while I was at it.

Fun with head structure.
And, no, the 2-pin doesn't affect any sort of gap that appears. I experimented. It does allow the head to stay together without extra parts, however.
I'll post my two new ones tomorrow, lads.
For now, whet yourselves with a slight update to the original.
The mountain giants cometh.
>>5558736
Yeah you would thank that wouldn't you but I found a work around.
Why am I so damn good at freestanding dolls?
>>5558779
And, yes, she's standing on one foot without any other support.
>>5558780
I must be one swood guy.
Book comes with a Y-wing microfighter
>>5558798
Sweet. Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg. I fucking love microfighters.
>>5558798
Please tell me that's not the only way to get it. Y-Wing is best ship and doesn't get nearly the love it deserves merch-wise.
>>5558780
But can she handstand when she needs to?
>>5558804
Chances are that it's the only way. Other build your own adventure-books have had exclusive builds.
>>5558808
This Kong's got style, so listen up, dude!
>>5558827
Then I flip her over and she still fucking stands. This thing continues to amaze me.
>>5558808
>>5558827
Oh oh can I play too?
I need to get the black angle plate with the 1x4 onto those slopes but LDD does not want to let me do it. Could somebody test it out for me IRL I have not got the parts on me right now to test it myself.
>>5558845
No not really. Not without bending the bracket/ having it rest at an angle, anyway.
>>5558532
you poor thing, hope you get some soon
I feel stupid asking it but I have to. Is it just the way Jang chooses sets to review or we actually have tons of shitty "boys" sets aside from nexo knights while every "girls" set (especially the elves series) is really good? All these superheroes, cars, police/firefighters, whatever else, it's so boring to look at.
>>5558854
boys set
>"boy" things
>bigger sets
>dudes v other dudes
girl sets
>"girl" things
>smaller sets
>fuckin horses and puppies and pop stars
>but massively higher detail and accessories
girl sets are pretty legit if they have things you want or like now. their only negative is they are usually slightly smaller, and they have dolls
its just quantity v quality
>>5558831
With such feet she is more stable on her hands, I guess.
Did you make any other tower girls, btw?
>>5558860
>With such feet she is more stable on her hands, I guess
Yeah you're not wrong.
>Did you make any other tower girls, btw?
Nah, not right now. I might in the future, but if I do decide to do more it probably won't be any time soon.
I've got like 8 unfinished projects I really should hurry up and finish already...
>>5558859
Girl sets actually bother to furnish their structures, after all. That is part of the size thing. But the Friends Yacht is still a pretty good match size-wise for the Fortrex.
The girls sets offer new emphasis on aesthetics that we haven't really seen from Lego. Original "girl stuff" from lego was just generic dollhouses rendered in lego, while Friends onwards actually tried to be clever.
>>5558866
you're right, its furnishings and stuff like that
Aira's Creative Workshop is small as fuck size, but a shitton of it is plates of some sort or another, and to me, it was 100% worth its cost, where some other $10 sets are just kinda piss, but much much bigger
>>5558776
This is looking fantastic. I can't wait to see the fully built finished product.
>>5558854
I don't know about Jang's reviews, but it comes down to personal taste and what you want from the sets you're getting. Like the other poster mentioned, they have a ton of great accessories you don't get elsewhere and they tend to have more places instead of vehicles. Friends fills in a lot of places City sets should have instead of just police and fire. I don't mind the minidolls, and you can easily switch pink pieces out for other colors.
>>5557874
>tfw work out have a gf and still play with lego
well apart from depression this is alright I guess
>>5558772

What's with all the beta fags/autists in the last couple threads?

>muh I can't work because the job market sucks.
>muh fear of grills finding out about muh lego.
>d-don't bully me because I repost the same pictures all the time.

This is super fucking cool, is it based off a Friends set?
what are pros and cons of each?
>>5556925
>>5558964
You're so right. It's fucking awful.
>>5558273
It not selling is a big fuck-you to all nonautistic Lego fans. It goes to show Lego will always gain more money from autistic colorful roboknights that yell "LOOK AT ME IM SO RANDUM XDD X)))" and retarded colorful ninja toys for children that enjoy spinning shit
Vikings took realism as an approach and had very violent themes but of course it didn't sell.
Kinda makes me wonder, if Lego randomly visits historical ideas, why can't we get a Nomad subtheme for something? I'd LOVE mongolian warriors even though I'm sure it would be hard to pull off because of the lack of current interest from the general public.
Or how about roman or greek warriors? If anyone here dares to say that a giant Zeus Altar as a lego set from a Greek mythos theme wouldn't be the dogs bollocks, I will lose all of my faith in /lg/
I mean, imagine the retarded stuff that nobody asked for as a set and Lego still released to end up as another failed theme
>>5558994
>It goes to show Lego will always gain more money from autistic colorful roboknights that yell "LOOK AT ME IM SO RANDUM XDD X)))" and retarded colorful ninja toys for children that enjoy spinning shit
The problem with Lego is all these children and their dumb, uneducated tastes.
>>5558994
>Vikings took realism as an approach
>Realism
>Giant dragons and repeating siege cannons
k
As for ancient themes, TLG somewhat stealthily caters to them via blindbags. Heck if you pick up a few of those and some older atlantis sets (I recall one of them being pretty much a greek building once you removed the foliage parts) you are more or less already there.
So before I go to bed here is a picture of my ship which you can probably guess what it is now due to the front.
>>5558273
I really liked the vikings, and still do. Sadly none of the sets for me are intact, but I have plenty of the figures and what I really liked about them was the colour variety. They didn't have a set colour scheme or organised uniform
>>5558989
Brick Builder just does speedbuilds, he doesn't say anything. If you just want to see how stuff is build, he's good.
Rollout mostly does Bonkle-stuff, so if you're not into that, you can safely skip.
>>5559003
Yeah I remember liking that too! Now I use those torsos for my orcs.
>>5558884
Oh, yes, she's a thighs girl.
Party because I don't know a good way to add bitties.
>>5558989
Rolloutreviews is an autistic teen that makes youtube videos
Jang is a competent and capable grown man that makes professional videos with great detail and visibility of ideas
just2good is okay, I guess. mid way
I haven't seen much of the last guy
got these to little things today, not a bad deal i guess
>>5559029
Chaos catapult is the better of the two smallest Nexo sets, even if Ash Attacker is my favourite fig of the series, and Ultimates are cool, even if I don't have Clay myself.
>>5558989
Jangs the best with reviews. i mean any new set, the guy will do it, clear, concise, fast, and he always has a well thought out opinion un-like people like brickshow
Brickbuilder does clear builds. Nothing so interesting here for me. Dont care about seeing builds, clear pictures will do it for me
just2good has the most variety and pretty alright quality content. his reviews are good, but tend to ramble on sometimes. i do like how he has been reviewing sets from mid-2000s recently - like power miners and vikings. his top 10 videos seem to be hits with views, some are heavily opinionated but i love his cancelled lego one, it was damn interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_Swp72LZM4
never heard of rollout reviews until now, say a video, fucking 44 minute review/build of a $15 bionicle set. guy was just rambling on.
Does Infernox appear in any of the Nexo Knight tv shows? Does anyone have his Book of Monsters bio? Trying to find out more about him.
>>5559038
>That snake train
Fuck I want that might try to make my own.

Wait, what are the usual prices of those?
It's 10 Euro in Yuroland.

Feels bad.
But really, cool stuff. Nice going fixing the bracket issue you had. E-why for best balancer here. Did you manage to fix that knee issue?
>>5558828
You'll want to replace that 1x1 plate at the bottom of the 1x1 towball on the lady's knee with a 1x1 stud, otherwise the parts will want to force each other apart whenever you start rotating the towball.
>>5559056
it's really hard to tell for me as in coventry where i live there's little to nexo knights sets available. only others i've seen are in tesco and was... similar price i guess? eng lego shop lists ultimate clay as 6.99 £ though, so a little bit cheaper than here. still, no catapult for ~4£ there
>>5559060
yup
seller marks packed, then shipped, then waits a week to actually drop it in the mail. Life is pain

There's a medley of ways to do chests, at the scale you're working, the best option for you would be one using curved slopes. Chests that actually look like clevage usually need bigger bodies than the DFC type.
Domes are also usable but this is a little harder to make look good.
This is so incredibly autistic, I'm actually impressed.

All in a day's work.
>>5559013
>>5559102
4x4 domes are easier to make look good than the smaller 2x2 dome. You can do this with two "3" or "4" technic connectors, two 4x4 round plates, some 2x2 rounds, and the necessary axles.
>>5559106
OK.
But what's with the "-/lit/"?
>>5559111
He's from /lit/ - Literature, which makes him think he's not just as retarded as the rest of us.
>>5559111
Not him, but some people who crossboard for the first time do that. Never once have I seen it be of any actual use, except to attract derision.
>>5558003
Why the heck not
>>5558999
I knew some jerk was gonna say that pretending its a valid point
What do you expect exactly? Lego to have super amazing ultra accuracy of the viking life? Yeah, that would make great sets of people making dried meat and setting up tents. It had amazing realism in comparison to other themes, for example say, fright knights
Such was the viking life, m8. Real vikings didn't have round heads or C shaped hands either, but I'm sure you'll find a problem with that
>>5559127
lmao not really man. I enjoyed the vikings theme and thought it was metal as heck. It had nothing to do with realism though. IIRC the theme was made to test if people would like hybrid sets (system/bionicle mix like the dragons), but didn't want to potentially damage castle's rep hence the slight deviation. It didn't work out regrettably.
>>5558273
>vikings NEVER returned after that!
Take a number and wait your turn, Erik.
>>5559102
For tits I used minifig heads + racing helmets the only way I tried to build anything similar, I think I dont have the pics anymore
I wanna play too
>>5559150
I wouldn't mind seeing them if you ever found 'em, minifig heads + helmets usually work out well for cleavage.

All these waifu-bots has me thinking. Are there any sand blue or at least a light blue-ish colored slopes? I think Elves has released a good amount, but I'd rather go with the old sand blue if possible.

You people are eating up the Mixel joints.
I bet the smug idiots who designed the ugly mixel sets think they designed some hotshit toys. Why didn't they release less autistic sets if they wanted to get the joints out in the market
>>5559222
>What does this even mean
Mixels have pointless designs. It's like the easter chicken or whatever it was
>>5559223
They're cheap parts packs for afols and collectable pocket money sets for kids.
Seems like a win-win to me.
>>5559228
>>he doesn't view them all as parts fodder regardless of if he likes them or not
You got me wrong, m8. I do collect sets for parts. At least I do when I have the money.
But I strongly believe it would never hurt to have some respect for the vanilla design before shoving it to the shelves to save money on market research
>>5558964
the problem is people respond to stuff they don't like in overly destructive and autistic manner that just illicits retaliation.
tl;dr
don't bitch about it, post more ships that can snuggly hold 16 cannons or some other neat lego thing
>>5559232
Fair enough, I bricklink everything anyway.
I suppose, if ever one thinks a Mixel is ugly, you could always just rebuild it.
anyone in the US find the angry birds sets out early?
quick survey gobi pls
What do you guys think about real life space crafts?
Would you buy one if LEGO made sets like these for example?
How much money would you allocate?
How much interest do you have to LEGO making them?
every piece is awesome
>>5559250
Realistic spacecraft are fun, but like most everything else, i think Lego shines when making something unique and totally unrealistic.
