I sure hope we get a regular release of this, because having Supergirl and GA locked forever behind a gaming event that not everyone can go to is just a fucking kick in the balls.

Is hearse posting the new lunar limo posting?
What do you guys think of this wolverine? I built it from two different Chinese fakes
Fully printed legs and torso
How's it stack up to the expensive original?
>>5674679
Speaking of that, have any of the Chinese companies made bootlegs of the Doctor Who or Portal figures yet?
Cuz I really want Portal and Doctor Who figures but can't push myself to spend that much since I don't own the game.
>>5674435
anybody ever seen any top gun minifigs? because that would be funny to me.
>>5674854
looks pretty gud for a few bucks. I'm waiting on 3 bootleg packs from the chinks so i can construct my custom Hitler mini. bootlegs are fun, i think i spent 12 bucks with shipping for like 18 soldier doods

>local department store has diznee minifigs

>the box is on a crystal display and the clerks pick the bags for you
>they don't allow you to feel the bags
>mfw
Hopefully other stores have them shortly, I don't mind the increased price as I understand it's the diznee tax. But I want to think they do this to avoid kids opening the bags and stealing the content and not because of people getting eactly what they want. Moreso because the figs are apparently distributed equally in each box..
>>5675091
Do they at least feel the bags or do they just grab one and go, "too bad, you get what you get?"
>it's another Mickey
>>5674663
Where is this being offered?
Why are Legos allowed on here? They have no articulation and arent imports.
>>5675116
But they're always imports. They build them all over the world and ship it everywhere. Even if you're Danish you've got imported parts.
My budget can afford either 76046 or 76051, but not both. I think both sets are lovely, but also somewhat overpriced.
Also, they both include most of the major characters from their respective movies.
Which one would you recommend?
>>5675116
Wow it's like you're being retarded on purpose or something
Speaking of Legos, I built this speeder bike out of Legos.

Are you me?
I haven't used Lego in roughly 20 years. I don't have any but I want to have a long term-project to distract me from the monotony of work and the pain of divorce. I want to build a (custom) Lego ship. An 18th century dual gun deck Royal Navy ship of the line. I approximate that it would be 20cm wide and 80cm long. How much money is this going to cost me to order the pieces from Brick-link? (In multiple orders over a couple of years). I know that it's all based on how I build it, but some approximations would be greatly appreciated.
>>5674445
*angry accordion noises*
Building out more concepts for these "actionfigs" in preparation for a huge Bricklink order.
How likely is it that Lego makes CCBS Nexo Knights in the future?

I would say Marvel as DC one is basically lots of black and dark grey parts.
Also

>>5675237
Europe isn't Japan, idiot.
>>5675478
The best way to go about this is to download Lego Digital Designer (it's free) and plan out your build in that. Once you get it how you want it, you can export a parts list and then make orders on Bricklink.
>>5675625
>DC
>get all three heroes, the main villain and the love interest of the main character in one set
or
>Marvel
>eventually cave in to the desire to complete the line up of characters, buying the Black Panther set, the Crossbones set and the Spider-Man set for a combined total of more than the airport battle
If you can only afford one big set, go for Batman vs Superman.
>>5675478
Ten cents a piece for the simpler pieces, more for complicated or rarer bits. I hope you're talking about a steel ship, as grey is cheaper than brown. You want closer numbers for bricklink, subtract a bit from whatever Lego pick-a-brick online charges for the same parts. You want to know how many parts, best of luck on that, use youtube vids of similarly-sized MOCs people make for shows as those will usually state piece count pretty closely - at 20x80cm I'd say that's at least 7k pieces (and therefore near $1k once you're done) but that's a guess pulled out of my ass.
Godspeed.

Did you try building one out of Legos
>>5675796
You could try building a new version of some old Classic Space ship, then adding guns. Like this thing, it's my take on the X-1 Patrol Craft set.
>>5675808
almost all police related vehicles from the swamp line and before and after were american inspired.
Speed champions had corvettes, fords, camaro's etc.
>>5675905
I did and I googled it too. There are some out there, but I appreciate official quality. Just seems so wrong to not include a stock car in their official race line

Very nice crash scene anon
I keep telling myself to work on making better spaceships, but I always end up putting it off and just throwing something basic together at the last second.
Anons, I have a box of old legos mixed to pieces. I have a dream of building random things but feel my current lego collection is too unorganized for me to build from. What is your advice guys?
>>5675983
Organise your collection
>>5675983
Some people will tell you to sort by color. These people are well-meaning fools. If anything, sort by color first, then re-sort by type.
But it's best to have your pieces sorted by type. It's easier to find a specific red piece in the bin/bag/pile of multicolored specific pieces than it is to find a specific piece in the unsorted pile of random red pieces.
>>5675983
I just keep mine in Ziploc bags inside Sterilite drawers, but I am absolutely pleb tier.
>>5675994
stacked up lego heads is actually my fetish
>>5675983
i use these suitcase like containers with movable partitions to sort by type, a bucket for finished minifigs and a box for just classic >2 by x bricks sorted by colour.
Make sure to look for the most effective way of sorting that fits your collection. i.e. if you have just a hand full of wheels don't waste 10 different categories to them.
Anyone got any news on Dimensions and Speed Champions? Other than the KITT reference and GA and SG.
Like, wave 3 Speed Champions, and Waves 6+ Dimensions?
>>5675994
I also use plastic bags (but in large paper bags kek). I try to have each plastic bag about two thirds full so I cans still see everything inside the bag. It's good while you're still sorting. Just pick the colors/ parts that you use most and sort those out gradually. Don't worry if you're left with a pile of unsorted pieces, since those are the pieces you use least.

>>5676100
and this from roughly around that time also
everything else in my old files is either shit or not good
also have starfighters holding hands
>>5676118
Can they pitch up and down in that formation, or are they all stuck facing the same direction? Would be a neat mobile gun platform if they could aim at different things while zipping through space.
>>5676127
They remain on that axis while in formation. It's more of a "keep the flight together when travelling at high speed" thing.
To be honest I didn't think of having them do that when designing the thing.
Have s two-ship formation looking like / acting as a heavy fighter.

>>5676351
Lucky! I'm still saving up for the shuttle myself... did you open it up and start it yet?
>>5676351
Fuck. My Walmarts are total trash and never even got those sets.
>>5675793
It's a WIP. Might post more later.
>>5676351
I like the carrier, and I doubt that LEGO is going to make another version of it for quite a while, if ever. So if I were you, I'd snatch that shit up right now.

I'll even pay shipping, I'll correct this mistake at my own expense. anything for another lego fan.
>>5676444
Apparently there's not enough demand for that, according to an interview I read in RailBricks with two Trains designers. They say the same is true with the Crossover track piece (BULL FUCKING SHIT) and X-crossing tracks.
>>5676466
I find that hard to believe, but true at the same time. Lego trains kind of keep getting changed. , but they never release anything that's a medium or small scale set, everything is always $100 or more.
If they treat it more like actual hobby trains where you can get an engine, cars, and track separately, it would sell a bit better. It would make the set more worth it for kids and adults.
We get, what, one or two train themed sets a year? break up those big sets into individual sets like what they used to do. At the same time, keeping certain things together in one package as a set.
>>5676486
>If they treat it more like actual hobby trains where you can get an engine, cars, and track separately, it would sell a bit better. It would make the set more worth it for kids and adults.
Supposedly kids don't want shit like that. Which doesn't make any fucking sense when there are dedicated toy trains that maintain themselves like this (Wooden Thomas comes to mind)

>>5676524
keep it under 10 cents per part and your a ok
>>5676524
Scroll down your cart and examine every lot, ask yourself what it's for, how bad do you need it, is it more of an impulse than a desire. I end up doing this about three times back to back but i almost always manage to knock off any excess and get within my budget.
$15 over is more than I'm used to paring down though, good luck.

How does one get into trains? Is there a good starter train?
>>5676405
Added a temporary living space, wanted it to look sort of uncomfortable. Think I did a good job.
>>5676716
Uhhh
OK, fuck it.
IMO, strictly IMO, I would say 60052 is the ideal starter train. It may be more expensive, but it offers shitloads more stuff to do with one set.
But if you want a passenger train, then by all means get that one. I don't have it myself but I like the style the gave it.
>>5676761
Also while I'm here
OH BOY. I'm building a Technic set while drinking hard.
This will be scary
>>5676546
Juicy nose cone senpai.
>>5676716
There are three trains out currently, and any of the three comes with the full load of Power Functions tech. The two more expensive trains both come with more impressive additional bits and more diverse cars, while the passenger train looks sleek and modern and pairs really well with the train station that is currently available, too.
No matter which train you get, don't forget to get extra tracks, because you're going to want more than a simple loop very soon.
>>5676782
Ehh.. IDK man, I think 60052 beats out 60098. The latter has a shovel crane thing, but I think it's beaten bu the one in 52.

Not a fan of beers of any kind because they make me a SLOPPY NASTY drunk, not violent or anything, but THAT GUY....Sad thing is, the closest to...beer, that I could do, was 4 locos. I could down those like nothing, get drunk as fuck every night for about $5. Then the heartburn started to kick in.

It's real!
dragged my old lego collection out of the attic today.
Hadn't seen it in decades.
I have never felt nostalgia like this, i had forgotten about so many figures and parts.
I'm really fucking glad right now that i didn't give it away or sell it all.
Gonna build my favourite set now, pic related.
