>>5572937
Depends on what you're looking for. Bootleg minifigures are the cheapest but you'll find only supeheroes/zombies/military guys for good prices.
>>
>>5572937
Short answer is no.
Most low price sellers have low stock, and you'll get fucked over by shipping costs buying from em. Taking advantage of high stock sellers to counter getting ass fucked by shipping usually means dealing with higher base prices. Alternatively you can seek the dark gods of chaos and become a heretic for mere pennies per fig and free shipping.

You could probably print skellies for pennies a pop.

Nice going yo. I was thinking of building the particular model you're talking about, too, but I decided it'd be better not to, which was to my detriment because I haven't yet built a skirt that has satisfied me.

I'm still trying to finish the bigger lady I posted a while back. I know what I want to do next project-wise but I want to finish her first, and additionally I need more slopes for hair.

You have any ideas for this lady's crotch+legs? I have one that would reduce the articulation a little, but in a way that would likely still look nice.

Probably going to try and get at least a couple BANANA! Guys to be part of the same company as Clumsy Guy's shirt.

Mariachi Guy will go well with my Maracas Guy. I should get the TLM version as well sometime and have a Three Amigos troupe.

Cyborg is probably getting her own episode.

Devil kid will be extremely useful.

Quatro Baby will join City Park Baby and Papoose Newborn in my ever-growing collection of underage minifigs.

I've had an idea for another fig for more than a year now, and with the last cracklink order that came in this week, all I need to complete it is Babysitter Girl's hair.

The other figs look pretty cool as well. Overall, this is shaping up to be a 10/10 wave.

As mentioned a few months ago, I play a lot of costume roles for various community events in the town I work in. I just got back from being the Easter Bunny, and while there were surprisingly fewer terrified kids compared to last year, it got me thinking, has anyone heard if Lego.com is going to have another promo for the Bunny Suit Guy like they did for the Chicken Guy?

>who /blacktron/ here?

My favourite theme as a child as I had fond memories playing with the Allied Avenger. I recently bought some of the more recent Blacktron minifigs and cobbled together a team. It consists of the alien heavy weapons guy, a super soldier, a recon scout and a cyborg technician.

40% off at TRU
got the last one
>>
>>5573978

TRU.com said this was out of stock at all my local TRUs.

Went in to the two that I frequent, and both of them had four. Not only that, but it wasn't even marked on sale, but I did get one.

Not bad for like, $32 or whatever.

Oh so retail price then?
>>
>>5574113

It retailed for $49.99 everywhere else, and $54.99 at TRU. 40% off knocks it down to just over $30, which is pretty good no matter what. Plus, the thing has been retired for like, a year anyway.

It is a set that is probably going to skyrocket on the aftermarket, since LEGO doesn't exactly do many X-Men sets.

About to turn 3 avenger towers into a moc modular tower, but I've never made a modular. Most modulars use a 32x32 base? Should I just start with a green or blue 32 base plate?

Base color doesn't matter because it will be covered anyway. All modern modulars cover the entire baseplate.

Sorry I was unclear, I wasn't asking which color to use, just if I should use a base plate at all, because I think modulars use regular plates.

Bootleg anon, got these mini modulars in the mail from Decool. Pretty good quality, only got one shitty piece that didn't hold together out of like 600-800 pieces. This made me fall in love with mini builds. I might order the other four duplicate sets from decool then start doing mini MOCs a for a city.
>>5574355
Start without one and transfer to one if you need it. Or just use a base plate. It's your choice there is no standard.
>>
>>5574355

They do use a 32x32. Some of the older ones use two 16x32s, though. I mean, same difference, but.
>>
>>5574342
Yeah, modern modulars are 32x32 and usually have spaces for rods in the base to link them together with other modulars (I forget what the piece is actually called)

Also, Modulars typically come in "layers" where each layer only connects by a couple studs to make, say, taking off individual floors or roofs easier.

I need some thoughts, /lg/.
I want to make some mechs, but I don't have inspiration yet. Should I buy assorted mech-related parts and hope I find inspiration or do I visualize what I want to make first? I think that the only thing stopping me from making mechs is that I don't have enough of pic related.

Right now, I have 212 pieces of bricks on my BL cart, mostly different colors of the slopes and 2x2s
>>
>>5574682
i don't know your parts selection anon, so it's pretty hard to judge.
LDD is a good way to start, but fiddling with bricks in person is always a better way to come up with stuff for me.
>>
>>5574686
If by parts selection you mean what I have to work with when I get the order I'm thinking of, I have a couple of Mech-related sets like The King's Mech, Kai's Fire Mech, Lex Luthor's Power Suit, Gorzan's Gorilla Striker, 80% of the Galaxy Squad sets + 2 huge plastic bins of Lego that probably weigh 10kg each.

I have enough I think, but I also think that 212 pieces of joints and slopes is overkill, but at the same time, handy in case I need them.
>>
>>5574691
yeah what i meant was wich parts you already have at hand. But it sounds like you have a lot to fiddle with untill you pass through the next phase of thinking of specific parts you might need to complete it even better.

Lego animals are not new or novel, there are a fair number of creator sets and friends dragons but animal MOCs are dwarfed by the above things
>Technic build
We see lots of system and CCBS has its own thread, but Technic is under represented

We see land and air/space travel a lot more often than sea travel. There aresome City ocean exploration mocs on the shelves right now but it could be cool

Lego already makes plenty of sophisticated sets (technic), and visually complex sets which are simple (bionicle).

Bionicle type sets would be a good fit for Pokemon, though I would personally prefer more sophisticated builds.

Since my army is growing, I needed some sort of enemies for them to fight. Had a lot of fun building these bugs.. Very pleased with how some of them have turned out. Need try and get some wings for the flying one though.

I like the shape of the right one but the scale seems better on the left. Dou you have any trainslucent pieces In the same color as the right version that would work for the left? It's a great color
