Are 4 colors too many for a single moc?
Even though they're mostly just different shades of blue I'm worried I may be pushing it. I don't actually have a moc to put them on yet I'm just brainstorming ideas.

Do you guys think it can be done or should I cut it back a bit?
>>
>>5747653
It's a meaningless question without seeing the MOC.
>>
>>5747655
That's a fair enough assessment. I'll post again later when I've got something to put the colors on.
>>
>>5747653
Four colors probably isn't going to overwhelm anyone, especially if it's a shading issue.

But it really depends on what the MOC is. If you've got an idea of what you're going to build, try drawing it and applying the colors to your drawing and see how it looks.

>>5747653
be careful about your placement of parts/choice of colour for each piece, because you're using similar shades if you aren't careful with your distribution of colours it can end up looking a mess, you probably want to aim for obvious shifts in colour, rather than scattering the colours around.

Craigslist, eBay. Buy a bulk unsorted collection for $50. Buy a gallon of Simple Green. Soak the collection in hot water and Simple Green a couple times, rinse well with hot water, sort pieces, and start playing with them. You'll figure out what to do from there.

Home Depot. Dollar Tree. Walmart. Tons of places will sell you varieties of stacking boxes.

I do use bags for SETS, but for organizing parts, you'll want boxes. Even those cheap little disposable ones can help there. I organize my minifig pieces and other small parts in cheap little organizers from the hardware store.

Probably 500-600, maybe more depending. They might throw in some baseplates or minifigs. It seems expensive (and it is) but it's also a lot of fun and you can probably recoup most of your expenses because Lego pieces don't really go "bad" unless you break them or leave them outside in the sun.

What I find extremely funny is that lego is so anti violence, but yet they made sets for the indiana jones movies that directly referenced some pretty brutal violence and death.

The flying wing.

The cart ride from temple of doom.

temple of doom itself!

The guy getting eaten alive by ants in crystal skull (as shit as it looked what with the horrid CGI, thats still a terrifying way to go out. Drowning in fucking bullet ants that are eating you from the inside as well as the outside. Fuck.).

Kind of wish they had made "Indy meets The Fuhrer for an autograph!" as a set.
>>
>>5748410
Indiana Jones is sort of a romanticized legend. It's more of an adventure than a Military theme. You could argue that Star Wars is at least as violent.
>>
>>5748410
>Kind of wish they had made "Indy meets The Fuhrer for an autograph!" as a set.
Well, he can always meet "Hitlerry".
>>
>>5748414
Star Wars never showed a guy ripping a dudes heart out full on, or a guy getting flattened by a rock crusher. It never showed the bloodbath of a guy getting shredded by a propeller blade. The most you get is a little blood after an auto cauterizing laser blade cuts off an arm. Or dead children with no signs of violence on them at all.

I'll meet you with multiple strangulations, both physical and force-based, one Live Rancor Devouring, and the gutting of Indiana Jones.
>>
>>5748434
Force strangulation does not count. Thats like saying Lugosi waving his hands around freakishly is rape.

Sure, its "violence", but not in a raw physical sense.

Rancor......dont remember seeing a LIVE devour, but I may be wrong (just remember based Oola getting dropped into the pit and then the flunkies in Jabbas crib standing around the cage, POV shot style laughing it up while she wilhelmina screamed off camera.) Th Rancor KILL though, ill give you. Choking sucks.

Gutting of Indy.....you mean 4 and the upcoming 2-3 more movies CONFIRMED, right?

"Gutting" the franchise?
>>
>>5748445
Vader strangles a rebel the old-fashioned way. Leia also chokes Jabba.

The Rancor eats a Gammorean that got dropped in with Luke.

Kylo gutted Harrison Ford/Indiana Jones.

FUCK, good call, forgot the OG vader strangle and the Leia kill. Also the pig dude.

Fair enough.

The Kylo kill was as PG as they come. No blood, no real "OH SHIT IT BURRRRRRRNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!" moment. No more violent or gory than Ben cutting off the dudes arm in Mos Eisley. Shit, the Chewy freak out and gut shot to Kylo was more violent. Ill give you THAT one.

IJ is still WAY MORE graphic and bloody than SW though, you cant deny it. Implied gore versus actual blood on screen.

Also, Indy beats it with RELIGIOUS/SUPERNATURAL violence. I know religious shit is something lego has tried to steer clear of, EXCEPT with IJ.

There is a representation of the ark in the sets. Probably the closest to a religious artifact that I have seen in lego, unless im missing other things, which I may be.

I just looked hard at the Indy sets not long ago and was blown away about their "no violence" shit, but they chose such obviously violent things to make sets for.

Not just fantasy violence, but full on "heres a dude sticking his hand through the skin and bone of your chest and ripping your still beating heart out while praying to "heathen gods" while it bursts into flames!"

IJ is at least as corny as it is violent. The face meltings and stuff are so over-the-top as to be unrealistic. The rolling boulder trap is a cultural phenomenon. It's very pulpy and fun, and the gore can be compared to Jurassic Park in how gratuitous and unrealistic it is.

The number of different categories you have is usually dependent on the number/size of your containers. I usually divide my 54K+ pieces into the following categories:
Traditional bricks
Plates
Slopes
Technic, incl. Technic bricks
Tiles
Minifigs and minifig accessories
"Special pieces" (anything that doesn't fit into the above categories)

>>5749120
just start putting bricks together.

and when you come up with something, start building something around it.
>>
>>5749120
Buy a large bin of lego without any instructions, then build stuff and tell a story.

Even an extremely simple story is a good start
Bob has a house, he likes to walk.

Go from there.

After buying and building Thunder Mace, I can safely say that it's probably the worst Nexo-set by far.

At least Mecha horse, the previous holder of the title, looked complete, the transformation gimmick was neat and I liked the motorcycle form. Mace just looks unfinished. At least it's the cheapest way to get non-ultimate Macy and her squirebot and it has some neat parts so it's not a complete waste.
>>
>>5749120
Take a set or three and combine features.
Doesn't matter if it looks good or not.
Focus on how the bricks connect to each other and what shapes they create.
Use a set to build something similar to the instructions, but ultimately different.

Even doing something as simple as following the instructions, but using different colors can make your mind see connections in a different way.
Try to start looking at how certain pieces fit to make an approximation of another piece; instead of using a brick, use three plates of differing color.
>>

Waiting for BL orders is suffering.
>>
>>5749120
A great way to awaken creativity is by first finding something you're really into (be it cars, planes, mechs, German dungeon porn, etc). Once you've done that, find something within that that category that you think would be cool to build. So if you like mechs, look up concept art online and find a design you think is neat. From there it's a matter of looking at the elements of the design individually (legs, arms, cockpit) and looking at your parts collection to see what pieces would best match those design elements.

Or, depending on who you are, excessive drinking may also help spur the creative process.

Take a part of a set you have that you like most (a car, a room, a doorway) and make a near-copy of it using random bricks you have. By 'near-copy' I mean change the colour, or make a mirror image, or make it twice the size.

If you can still find in our area, try getting the Red Creatures and/or Future Flyer. Both have some articulations and the latter has also 4 wheels, in case you feel like building some vehicles.

The reason is something called "profit". The Chinese government wouldn't allow a movie to run in its theaters that featured a Tibetan as one of the main heroes, and "sexy young white female" is more marketable than "elderly Asian male".

Casting a black guy as Baron Mordo is just to draw in larger crowds.

I am feeling pretty conflicted, though. I want to get Tower Carrier to complete the sets of personal vehicles and robots. However, it's like 90€ here and only 15€ less than Fortrex.
