Sure, sure, it was nothing to write home about, especially since it's missing a lot of pieces, and the figure too. Shouldn't be too expensive to fix on BL.
Haven't seen Lego this dusty in a long while. I could easily say that it was on top of that shelf for way over 10 years.

When does the new NEXO wave release
>>5625733
The same time every other next wave releases.
Between June and August.
I'm on a mocing spree today.
>>5625756
That's pretty amazing, anon
>>5625756
Pretty awesome. I'd do something about the nose though.
Guys I do not know do you remember me or not, but I continue my attempts of making Lego stop motions. I have made new animation today.

Finally received my second bricklink haul, this time from the polish misprint guy.
The thing is absolutely stellar! I'm so glad they had such an expressive head in plain red! Now Lavaria has a worty friend to hang with.
The umbrella and aztec artefact pieces are cute too.
>>5625654
Thanks!
Your photos make mine look just embarrassing, I need to get more lights and learn to do better.
>>5625756
Awesome, I love the face. What's that nose piece?
>>5625871
It's an old baby T-Rex piece flipped upside down. I saw it in an Indiana Jones set and it blew my mind back then.
What's the one thing you would like to see Lego do that will never happen? For me it would be minifigure scale models for all the original 151 pokemon. Basically like animal pieces but with pokemon instead.
>>5625910
Fully transparent minifigs. I know there's some third party ones, but heard they're not very good.
>>5625924
>Fully transparent minifigs
Literally never, unless Lego changes their transparent plastic altogether.
Because it's different sort of plastic than normal ABS, the two transparent parts put together (like a bar and a cone) will stick together so tightly thanks to reason that they're almost impossible to pry apart.

Are those people too stupid to think of something that doesn't require licensing?
>>5626000
Keep in mind that majority of those are actually licensed (Minecraft, Ghostbusters, BTTF, Zimbabwe theory, Adventure time, Wall-E, Doctor Who)
But even then, some other company has the Pokemon license already.
sup ppl, i havent posted recently.. trying to cach up with mags,
i think SW magazine was cancelled (no wonder, their sets were mediocre at best), and friends magazine has a baking oven miniset. next will be ice cream cart, no photos for now. sorry

>>5626057
Hey I've been meaning to ask you something! Last Lego adventure you did on /tg/ there was a scene where some characters were in a store and some glass broke. How were you able to get the glass to stay where it was in some places? It looked like it was floating as if the picture had been taken mid-shatter. Very impressive.
>>5625867
I just figured out, you're the speederbike posting anon right?
It must feel like a load off your chest to finally put those bazillion trike fork pieces to use.
>>5626094
Lots of little bits of sticky-tack.
>>5626106
Sticky tack eh? You concealed it very well. Nice job.
>>5624980
Here my "battle station", the storage totes on the right and above of that raised has plate are lego yet to be sorted and organised, also these some sets have yet to be opened.

BIG AMERICAN TITTIES
>>5626213
But those didn't have the classic vibe, I'm talking about sets that would use the classic figs we all love but have intricate design like Benny's spaceship set while keeping the classic feel.

>>5626277
I really don't understand why they charge so much for their products. All the more reason to buy Brickwarriors over them for custom things.
>>5626295
Speaking of Brickwarriors they're having a sale right now on alot of stuff that could go with the lava people that Lego just started putting in packs. Just ordered some of these helmets and other things myself.
>>5626295
Genuine Lego-brand ABS plastic. All their stuff is genuine Lego that's been stripped and reprinted.
>>5626164
Kek, It all fits in a closet. :p
>>5625910
Not minifigure scale, but since most pokemon would require new molds to make it work I don't see the point.
>>5625910
>151 new molds
>at a cost of $80,000 per mold per factory
>>5626352
>>5626346
What a mess that would be. On top of that it'd probably be a really expensive set per brick compared to other licensed sets, and that's saying something.

they are constantly making unique molds for star wars. pokemon has the same kind of autistic fanbase that would go apeshit over it
What theme are these guys from?
>>5626405
Ice Planet, Unitron, Ice Planet, Aquanauts, Space Police II
>>5626390
Please respond, who cares abut pokemon, jesus.
>>5626393
So it really did start from some kid's MOC. Going by those comic images the MOC was way better quality than the mess they actually used. That car might have actually been pretty cool and made the theme less of a mess, but I guess back then they were against licensing anything.
>>5626405

That helmet on the rightmost space cop is an Insectoid's one. One of the more interesting space themes.

>Actually, would you mind posting a wider shot of your setup sometime? I think I really need to rethink my lighting and backdrop, put in some more effort than desk lamps standing around.
Sure thing. Pardon the mess, but I'm in the middle of several concurrent brainstorming sessions.
I have 1 yd. x 1yd pieces of black and white fabrics that I use when I need a very tall backdrop (like the land beyond in Apprentice Quest or Sunnydale Heights) because regular posterboard isn't large enough to completely fill the background when shooting very tall things like the ponderope from a low angle. I just use a pair of thumbtacks to pin them into preexisting holes in the window frames behind the table. For everything else, I have a bunch of different colored posterboard sheets, each with wide packing tape on the back corners. That way I can use sticky-tack to affix them to the window frames and don't have to worry about paper ripping. Because they aren't wide enough to span the entire window, I use another piece of packing tape that's been folded to be smooth on both sides. I use it like an extension and hook the posterboard to it on the left and the window frame on the right.
The very first Lego Quests just used a TV tray near a window, but later I started using a card table because it was wider. However, it was very low and I got sick of wrecking my back every time I ran a game, so I got a nice tall drafting table that I can stand at (it comes up to the base of my ribcage):
www.amazon.com/Berkley-Melamine-Surface-Drafting-Table/dp/B001IW3FTW
The lights are just a pair of $20 standing three-socket lights I got at Walmart. I bought two more blacklight bulbs today, bringing my total to three (very excited to use those soon), but I keep one of them screwed in just in case; the other five bulbs make plenty of light. You probably already saw my homemade baffles last thread.
Your camera's ISO looks like it's set higher than optimal. What model of camera is it?
I made a robot today /lg/

ARVs need love too.
>>5626578
Not that guy, but are you planning on running tonight? I might try and run my own quest, and I wanted to try and run mine at the same time.
>>5626614
>Not that guy, but are you planning on running tonight? I might try and run my own quest, and I wanted to try and run mine at the same time.
Nope, go for it! And link it in here!
>>5626213
Fuck. I liked what I've seen of of both of those sets. More so Galaxy Squad for the builds and overall, but the Alien Conquest minifigs..I liked those uniforms. Any space theme is a good theme if you ask me.
>>5626614
DO IT
>>5626614
>>5626619
I'm actually working on something game-related, though.
>>5626614
you sure it's a good idea to run it at the same time?
You might get overshadowed a bit. But then again lego quest is usually no that fast so having both open in tabs might be something players might do.

>>5626681
>What's the one thing you would like to see Lego do that will never happen?
Ideas sets for R-rated and more adult licenses like Jaws and Blade Runner.
>>5625910
I'd like to see the old technic figures return. They'd obviously use mixel joints.
>>5626689
>>5626697
>>5626687
Yeah they stopped producing them after only 2 waves, the figures look awesome but they only made half the races, very few of the major characters and no females, they had a bunch of random characters they created themselves, it had so much potential.
>>5626689
My man, I knew I was forgetting something C&C figures would be amazing then add in some Red Alert 2 characters like Tanya and Yuri!
>>5626713
come on now, don't hate on the people for wanting an official Lego Titan
>>5626697
You know, considering how Ideas has been working, I could see a good boat set from Jaws doing well. Enough neat things to make a playable set, and generally interesting enough to do well as is. I think the only big issue would be solid body, or brick-built body. For the later maybe work in some sections to allow Jaws boat damage if you worked in a shark model as well.
We're gonna need a bigger brick.
>>5626728
There were a couple of awesome Jaws sets that were getting close to getting to the review stage and LEGO wiped them all saying it wasn't an appropriate license.
>>5626735
This was one IIRC.
>>5626425
>King of fighters
Fuckin' where dude? I've never seen them.
Have you guys seen those stick figure looking poseable figures with the suction cups on their hands and feet? The basic box for them comes with a green screen and software, has anybody tried out something like that with Lego?
>>5626578
That doesn't look very messy, but that is a lot of heads.
My camera's an old Kodak v1003, using ISO setting 80. With its tripod socket stripped out, a tendency to adjust white balance all by itself, it's old but it'll do when I improve my setup a bit. Biggest thing seems to be, rig up simiar baffles for my lights, position them better, and have more of them.
> the other five bulbs make plenty of light.
Yeah, mostly I only use two at the moment.
The tape-backed posterboard is brilliant. Thank you very much for the pic and suggestions, now I've got a good idea what to do.
>>5626681
>Dragonball z lego as well would be amazing, I know there's third party minifigures but I want more.
Bandai is going to be making their own DBZ sets, I guess. They showed off pics of the minifigures, and they crop up sometimes in the Dragonball General threads here.
But frankly, the bootlegs look just about as good, if not better than those anyway, so...
>>5626749
did you even try looking?

>>5626771
I inmediatly searched for them after reading your post, heheh, they don't look that bad and the hair pieces might be useful. I don't own any pirate minifigures but been considering to get some the Dragon Ball ones and maybe these set too.

>My camera's an old Kodak v1003, using ISO setting 80. With its tripod socket stripped out, a tendency to adjust white balance all by itself, it's old but it'll do when I improve my setup a bit.
Something you might try is changing your exposure meter to Center Spot. This is the trick I use in the Deep Shaft 8/ Cleft 18/ misc. glowing-pieces games. By focusing on the bright (glowing) area, it takes that brightness as the average scene brightness and compensates by raising or lowering the brightness of everything around it. The way I use it, I focus on the space miners' visors, the camera thinks the glowing visor is "average" lighting, the camera darkens everything else (including the visor), and I end up with what appears to be a glowing object in a dark room. In your case, you might be able to use it to force your camera to close off some of that overbright white.
You can also try forcing your camera to lower the brightness this way. I use this a lot when I want to make a scene look dimmer than it is. I can still use regular lighting, so everything is crisp and clear, but it gives me a nice head start once the image gets to Photoshop.
Sorry if this is stuff you already know about.
>>5626803
Hey man, I need to blog a bit about how your Lego Quest stories and how well you take pictures has inspired me:
So teaching is really low paying in many areas of the United States, but in Texas it pays really well and is extremely competitive (some really amazing educators can end up making 6 digits in less than a decade.) It's so competitive that students who are training to be educators to show off new and inventive ways to teach students. Now when you think Lego, you think pre-school-5th grade, just some recreational type of toy right? Well I plan on teaching highschool, and I wanted to use my hobby to entertain and teach kids, make things interesting and learn-able using characters from things they were familiar with. So, way back when I began learning to teach I had thought of the idea of using the figures I had already collected to recreate humorous and interesting scenes in novels my class had been assigned to read, (Highschool English Teacher in training here.) Then I started collecting Lego again because of the minifigure blind backs and then eventually some other sets that made me really excited. I hadn't bought Lego probably since I was 12, I'm 24 now.
I propagated these threads for awhile and eventually I was around when you had began one of your Lego Quest adventures on /tg/. I was really impressed and continue to be each time you do them. So inspired that the idea I originally had was replaced by the idea to use Lego instead to recreate scenes from books I plan on teaching my students, I've been even more excited than I was before because of that.
Anyway, I begin interning this year and I'm extremely confident that the idea will impress my peers and the teachers I plan working under. If all goes well, I will have passed my internship and my classes I have left, finally move away from my parents house to my own place and marry my fiance next fall.
cont....
>>5626803

So thank you so much for helping inspire me and giving me a unique way to educate and entertain my future students.

>>5626833
Well, let me know if you want any more advice.
>>5626842
Can't wait! Every time I go through a Lego aisle, I think about getting one of those small Creator sets. Maybe next time I will.
>>5626870
I screen cap and take plenty of notes when you do your Lego Quest stuff, in fact I'm the anon that questioned earlier about the shattered glass stuff! I'll certainly ask you anytime I need some direction!
>>5626870
>Every time I go through a Lego aisle, I think about getting one of those small Creator sets.
There's only been a couple of these that I really like. I couldn't resist this one any longer, honestly. Will look real nice next to a train station.
>>5626877
I liked the beachhouse one, but I'm not sure if it's still available.
>>5626876
A lot of times I get too "in the zone" and ignore questions during the game, so if I don't reply, ask here instead.
>>5626884
Yeah I don't interrupt at all in the /tg/ threads. I just remembered it while I was working earlier today and I had to ask while you were no. Very clever!
>>5626884

>>5626681
Naruto would probably work better. For a theme to work, it needs characters and buildings. DBZ doesn't have a lot of architecture going on. We'd get some nice hair pieces out of the deal too. I'd love a Temari hairpiece.

I think they'll suit your GMing needs well. The open facade design would make it easy to squeeze shots in, I think.

>Wonder what it's actually made out of.
I'm pretty sure it's just that.
When do you think we're going to see pics of Lego Batman sets related to the movie? Is anyone else excited about them?

Hello!
No, I did not see that! Yes, I am really open for advices. I am making photos using my smartphone right now because I still do not know do people like what I do or not. I want to buy better equipment, but it all depends on how many people will support me. If people will like what I do - than I will definetely buy DSLR!
>>5626923
The movie comes out February, so the sets should start coming to shelves in late December.
We should have our first set reveal at SDCC in July, while preliminary leaks should appear around August.
Also, I am quite excited. Those villains look great.

Got it! Thank you!
I am making animations with my girlfriend, so we need to make an overview of your ideas together!
>>5626943
And yet, you could have bought two for that price from Lego themselves. I find it odd how people still use eBay for anything these days. It's like they're perpetually stuck in the early 2000s when they learned how to use the internet and never advanced with it.

My GF has built almost all of the creator mini modulars. I have been trying to convince her to buy a two pack of one she has already built (like two of the corner deli, for example) and try and MOC a unique building out of them. She is a little scared though because she doesnt think she has the creativity for it. I tell her to just look at pics of buildings and architecture and shit to get ideas.
I believe two or three of them and you can make some incredible medium modulars for sure.

And I have a desire to go there and hope that they still have some. Should I?

This deli, man. There's a lot of potential here. I can picture a small patio section for customers, or mods to the set that build up the interior. I can easily see using the deli build as I have it set up, and fill in the missing "corner" that represents the majority of the interior of the building.
Stick it on the corner of street baseplates and flesh out the outdoor stuff. Holy fuck I love it.
>>5627081
I only want to get this because I like the smallest alternate build, but that alone isn't worth 40€
>>5626932
Wait a minute...
Does Killer Croc have an OLD SCHOOL alligator head in this shot?
>>5627078
It's a pretty neat set. Is the gas worth it though? I wouldn't be spending that much time/money without a sure bet considering it might be just as much from second-hand sellers online all things included.
If you do manage to get it you need to get the airport civil war set too. Then you can have your ant-man holding himself holding himself. And that's a magical thing.
>>5627084
Yeah, I hope we'll get a bigfig with actual tooling like that.
>>5627085
It doesn't matter. I'll be driving little more than that as well, and it'll only be small detour in the long run.
>>5627088
Well if you're already going that way then I'd say go for it. Hopefully you luck out and it's still there.
Man, I fucking love the newer modulars. Got the Detective's Office in March for my birthday and spent some of my refund on the Parisian Restaurant. Waiting for a big check to get the Brick Bank, but shit, I need more. When will we start hearing rumors of the next one, and what do you guys think it'll be?
[spoiler]I think it'll be the modular library that was rejected on Ideas.[/spoiler]
>>5627081
Like I said, I think someone could easily put together the missing 10x10 section of this building and flesh out the interior with a bed, TV or radio and whatever else in the apartment section. The first floor could have a big counter with different foods in a display case as seen in legit deli's. Not much room for eating space inside, though.
>>5626352
>151 new molds
They wouldn't actually need 151 new, unique, molds though.
Certain Pokemon could be made using existing parts.
>Rattata could be made from a purple kitten piece.
>Hitmonchan could just be a minifig with boxing gloves.
>So could Machop and Machoke.
>And for that matter so could Mewtwo.
>Koffing could just use a minifig head.
>Voltorb and Electrode could be made out of ball/round pieces.
>Ponyta would just be a horse with flame decals.
>Rapidash could also be a normal horse body, but with a new, modified, head piece that allows a horn to be attached. That way, the new head mold could be used for shit like Unicorns in the future.
There's probably a others that I just can't think of at the moment.
inb4 >still too many new molds required, keep dreaming/cry more poketard
Yes, I understand and accept that there would still be too many new parts required for a Pokemon line. I'm just pointing out that that not all 151 would need new molds.
I've an extra Thanos bigfig. What'd be the best thing to do? Trade it or sell it?
>>5627101
>still too many pokemons, keep dreaming/cry more poketard
They would make 30 at best (in few waves). Nobody gives a fuck about Hitmonchan or Ponyta.
I made a walking chair my technic fig /lg/
Why did they never make any new technic figs?
>>5626922
>>5626940
Someone should put these in the OP guide. Do you have an Imgur account, LQ?
>>5627196
Jesus, I had exactly this cybered guy. Couldn't find him when I checked my old legos, though, probably lost somewhere (along with some other cool toys my parent took from me for whatever reason)
>Why did they never make any new technic figs?
Changing priorities. All characters are now only mnifigs and bionocles. Pure technic is for machines and alike.
>>5627097
I think it'll be a hospital. Just look at some of the new parts we've gotten this year:
>head wrapping
>crutch
>wheelchair
The new dual-molding tech in minifig limbs can also produce good casts.

I love the new moustache piece.
Hey lego gen, I just remembered I have this free pass to any Lego park or discovery center. But it expires on the 30th, so if theres anyone in the US who wants it and lives near one i could set up a raffle i guess.
>>5627231
Do those minifigs have exclusive prints? I thought Factory sets only used existing parts.
If those aren't unique, you can always just Bricklink some more skeledudes based on the set's instructions.
>>5625860
Bizarro minifig.
>>5627202
Huh. Good use of an alien blaster, but do they even come in green?
I swear, if lego offered a custom color service they would double or even quadruple their profits over night.
>>5627298
>if lego offered a custom color service they would double or even quadruple their profits over night.
You would think so, but replacing and rejiggering those molding machines is more trouble than it is actually worth if it's for custom orders.
They tried the easier route of producing LDD models with existing colors of pieces, and that turned out to be a lossmaker.
>>5627301
im just talking about custom colors, seems like it would just be a case of, oh, this guy ordered one hundred of these alien blasters in green. Pour the green plastic into the existing mold bro! (or add the green dye or however they do it.)
>>5627260
Unique stickers on torsos.
>>5627302
But that's just the thing. Metal molds are large fuckers, and plastic colors are calculated very precisely.
Ideas sets are a good example for looking at the limits of Lego's production processses: the first run of any given Ideas set goes to tens or hundreds of thousands of units; that's a big number! But even then, the number of new part recolors is limited. They can't just go ahead and recolor as many pieces as they want.
What more a measly custom order of one hundred?

>no hope
>suddenly the Martians show up and help us kick ass
>turns out there are other civilisations in our solar system and they need us to join them in saving our solar system
(That'll be the working title of the series Save Our Solar System. S.O.S.S.)
>there will be an elemental theme based on 5 planets, and they will incorporate older themes into them
>Earth = Water and... Earth, and will have Aquanauts and Res-Q themes
>Mars = Rock, and will be based on the original Mars sets
>Europa = Ice, and will be based on the Ice Planet sets
>Venus = Fire, and will be based off the M-tron sets
>Neptune = Wind, and will be based off of the Blacktron sets
>Make a factory scene.
It's my work area for half finished stuff.

They do it every year for 24 hours on Star Wars Day. Savings vary - exclusive minifig will be hot.

Europa ain't a planet. Most people probably haven't even heard of it anyway, and you get the same effect if you just used Pluto or something.
I mean, its not technically "a planet" anymore either, but....it is in our hearts.

They're attached just fine. Those wheels are a single barbell-like piece that just clips in to two "claws."

I feel like Lego had better sets before they started licencing
Does anyone own the 10244? I've really warmed up to it, everything looks so comfy, the carnival men, the happy children, the trucks, how everything folds and fits together, obviously the mixer itself..
Yeah, does anyone own it and maybe could put down some impressions

>>5627403
>>5627508
Its not 24 hours. Its five days (From April 30th-May 4th. It always lasts at least a few days.
And the exclusive minifigure is pretty much shit this year anyway.
The other promotions seem to include 2x VIP points on any Star Wars sets and stuff. I don't think there are any other "savings" or price reductions beyond that.
>>5627500
I have it sealed and actually not sure if I want it still.
>>5627203
>Someone should put these in the OP guide. Do you have an Imgur account, LQ?

I know it will never, ever happen, especially since Lego farms out their baseplate production to another company, but I really, really wish they would offer 32x32 baseplates in colors other than green and tan. I would be willing to pay $20 a pop (plus shipping) for a new black or white baseplate. The big modulars are great for having (comparatively) flooded the cracklink market (a few years ago I never thought I'd be able to get a new red 32x32 for less than fifty bucks) but I would be going nuts if they offered them in the eight-ten standard brick colors at twice the retail price of the greens and tans.
