if it's two pieces fused together it's still meant to count as one piece. i mean, if you take them apart you'll end up with two fucked up pieces.

can anyone who has an Axl post a picture of what the inside of the torso looks like?

>>5701657
also, i was replying to the anon who was asking what the print on the rest of the torso looks like, implying it could be taken apart.
>>
>>5701657
But if it is two fused pieces, you could remove the glue somehow. I've heard boiling of heating works. You'd end up with a fucked torso and a useful armor. Same idea for all the anons complaining about the ghost rider hair. It is possible to remove the hair in a useable condition, by possible damaging the head part.

It is two pieces glued together

IMO someone would be able to get them apart with both intact

I'd be very curious to see how the inside of the armor piece works

I don't think th piece is useful for anything other than axel like this.
That being said i'm considering prying them apart

anyone have any ideas on how i could do it?

You would be better off going through Aliexpress. Most stores on there give you free shipping, and if you get the sets without the box, you get them super cheap. For instance, the regular hulkbuster set knockoff through ali is like $20. The green version I posted a few posts up is around $16 or so. They generally shouldnt run you over $20, $25 if you are getting stiffed or if their shipping method is better.

Only problem is the wait, but you get a guarantee usually (IE: if the set doesnt get to you, in lets say 60 days AT MOST, you get to keep the set when it does come and get a full refund.). Most ive had to wait for anything from Ali was a month and a half.

Thinking about buying these lego by the pound lots on ebay/local. Worth or nah?
>>
>>5702613
If you like to have lots of lego that does not match, and REALLY don't care about which parts you get: yeah.

If you already have a favorite genre of building: nah. Either bricklink the parts you need, or get sets with the parts. If you must use ebay, try "lego lot specialty" or "lego lot COLOR". Also check out seller "missstuffs" for large lots of one or two parts. Most of their auctions end at $5 to $15.

Some parts really are more useful than others.

I'm talking 40+ pounds, probably closer to 100-120 pounds of bulk

I'm talking about the ones with the MCPD, not the one with the piiates that I know is coming out later on. i think it's actually series 7.
Series 6 has been selling rather slowly here, to I was guessing that local stores choose to not stock up on the next one considering how late it is.
>>
>>5702968
Oh. Shit, sorry about that. I'd imagine that yeah they've sold out considering wave 7 comes soon. S@H put them on sale a month ago to clean stock, so I can see other stores doing the same. They do have the MCPD ones still, so maybe could check there. I know around here the only place still stocked with older waves is Toys R Us, but they seem to order more than 1-2 boxes so they're always sitting on shelves and never on sale.

Considering everything wave 6 did seem a bit weird compared to older ones. Less creature, more machine, so that might explain the lack of popularity. Still liked 'em myself though.

It depends. Can you spare the extra cash for bricklink? Can you spare the time for sorting? If you buy from bricklink, it often comes bagged and sorted for you.

How big is your collection? Would 100 pounds double or triple your collection's size?

Going rate for a pound of lego on ebay seems to be about $10. Going by the "correct" price per part of 10 cents, $10 gets you 100 parts that are immediately useful.

It really depends.

>>5702638
One other thing. If you your favorite building genre is something small and greebly, you could be better off buying bricklink. If its something that can use all the different parts in a bin, just get bulk. Same principle applies if you have a favorite building color that isn't red, blue, yellow, or greyscale. You might not get useful quantity of the pieces you WANT from bulk.

+Much cheaper than LEGO 80/90% some times.
+Characters that are out of print or not made by LEGO.
+New folded pieces.

-Print quality is below par
-Molding is often below par
-Plastic quality can be anywhere from almost as good as LEGO, to 'Sweaty dogshit' forced into molds and painted with sharpie.
-No quality control, its a lottery how good what you get is.
-Depending on seller, can take MONTHS to arrive.

I would be more at peace with not having a minifigure that I know it's out of print or a very limited release with an obscene, hard-to-justify price, over having a bootleg in my collection, knowing that it's a bootleg.
Personally, I don't know how that's supposed to fill the void when the guilt of doing some HERESY is going to be there, watching me every day as I wake up in my room and see a glimpse of my collection.

But if it works for someone else, I don't see the problem, as long as you're able to deal with the quality issues as >>5703249 says. You can circumvent it by ordering more than 1 figure and building one with the best parts of each, like some other anon did with his Deadpool minifig IIRC.

>>
>>5703301

I would argue that an important part of having a collection of something is to be happy and/or proud of the legitimacy of said collection, be it because of their origins, or the effort it took you to build it over the years.
A casualfag checking out your collection would most likely be impressed of seeing that Deadpool minifig in your ranks, but if you yourself know that it's not Lego but Sheng Yuan of whoever makes those, why bother?

Everyone has their own reasons to collect sets or figs, of course. But if it's for the sake of completionism it think it's a rather hollow solution.

Forgot to say in the previous post the case of getting minifigs that TLG would otherwise not produce, which is a bit more valid, but it would have more value for me if TLG actually made them, otherwise I can live without them.

Now I've got to say, I'm not too much of a starwars/DC/marvelfag so you might as well disregard my thoughts on the matter. I'm most likely unfamiliar to the feel of not having minifigs that have fallen victim to the availability issues and the scalping cancer that plagues this hobby.

Got this one during my vacation, on my first visit to the Lego Store in Rockefeller. it was a good day.

There's some clever use of parts. It's still my favorite Ferrari vehicle and its squared design fits almost perfectly into Lego.
What I find weird is that this was catalogued under Creator, despite being a one-build set. I would think it's better suited as a more advanced division of the Speed Champions line.

When a character doesn't physically exist, I usually go for a custom using torso decals and such. Even if it's not that great like pic related, it's usually passable.

Heres a question. The sith chick that came in the Eclipse fighter, I think her name is Naare, what do we know about her?

According to what I read about the new lego star wars show she is in, she is a Jedi, but in the set she is obviously evil (right down to the red saber and her reverse face being covered in red force lines and scowling and shit).

Did lego spoil a plot point to their new show in their new set?


Also, real sick of these fucking captchas "select store fronts until they disappear" bullshit fucking never works COCKSUCKERS.

But yet one of the biggest spoilers of the year (Spidey in Civil War) they kept under wraps till even a few weeks after the movie had been out. Of course while doing that they spoiled GiANT Man being in it.
>>
>>5703497
For every one thing right, they get two or more wrong. There's also Crossbones' design in that other set, although there are more favorable cases like having a Hank Pym in his Ant-Man suit despite that shit never happening in the movie.

I would like to know more about the design process that makes TLG ending up with those "happy accidents", especially since this appears to be more of an issue with Marvel sets than DC.

Well it did. Kind of. Old footage of him back in the 70s and flash backs.

They do a mix of comics and movies for the super hero lines as well, so that's one reason designs aren't always accurate to expectations, or they add weird stuff.
