Here's the cross-sell sheet from the Stormtrooper Finn polybag again, to push discussion along.

Holy shit...
I just ordered the winter workshop and they're out of the holiday trains for the promotion and instead, all i'm getting is emerald express....
i feel so shitty
>>5273401
Well there is always Bricklink or severely inflated prices on ebay.
>>5273395
Lego made a pretty weird decision with those new rebel helmets. They really look odd.
Threadly reminder about Blacktron being better than any other late 80s or 90s space theme.

>>5273395
I might get a couple of those, love the battle packs.
Is it true that a smaller ship including Hera is coming? I really want her. Do you guys think this lady has a chance too?
>>5273431
>Is that a visor or something??
Yes, you can see one of them has flesh-coloured hands.
>>5273440
>Yeah, it's a trans-yellow piece of plastic permanently fused to the main helmet piece.
It's printed on, actually.
>>5273395
I'm curious where Lego leaks come from. Is it internal or something? Do they leak from factories?
>>5273435
75127 Microfighter The Ghost, one of four Microfighters based on Rebels designs.
>Do you guys think this lady has a chance too?
I'm sure the Seventh Sister's gonna come out eventually; we got the first Inquisitor after all.
>>5273443
It's plastic.
>>5273395
I really hope that Carbon Freezing Chamber Fett is not the same one as the Fett from the UCS Slave I.
>>5273467
It doesn't have the UCS arm print.
>>5273469
Now that I look closer, you're right. Thanks!
>>5273440
They looked pretty generic to me when I first saw the action figures pictures. I didn't expect the lower part to lift up.
I also thought the visor was printed on the minifigs' heads.
These troopers have pretty bland outfits too but it works better on the minifigs for some reason.
Would it be considered heresy to open a classic space set that has remained unopen since the 80s?

Holy shit, this makes me more sad than it should
Think of those poor minifigs that never got played with
[spoiler]Maybe I shouldn't have seen The Lego Movie, now I feel bad for plastic[/spoiler]
>>5273516
Oh, nah, I just have a modest minifig collection and I have the UCS Slave I Fett and I feel it would dimish how "exclusive" that fig seems given that it came with a UCS set.
>>5273510
Ok I was just wondering because I was planning on winning an ebay auction with whatever money I currently have and liberating the bricks and minifigures from the box. Fuck scalpers and the people who keep Lego in unopened boxes.
>>5273517
It saddens me as well. If I win the set I will tear that shit open.
>MISB Classic Space Set
>the thought of getting a fresh spaceman
>>5273395
I'm actually really excited for all four battle packs for the first time ever.
Probably most excited for the resistance one, the only disappointment is the lack of printed legs in that one. But it's understandable because of the super groovy helmets. Hope those guys are badass in the movie.
>>5273535
I opened the shell car wash set from 1999 a year ago and the peices felt really nice. The minifigs come out having that new shine to them. There was no noticable color fading but the torso of the shell worker looked smudged.
>>5273515
This is Lupita Nyong'o's character right?
>>5273551
Yup.
>>5273553
Yeah, I know. Still, I'd appreciate some texture, like they put on the rebels' pants or something. Even if it's not really needed, I think anything is more interesting than more dark bley pants.
>>5273535
>>5273548
I too opened an older set about a year ago. I found a 1720 Cactus Canyon from 1994(?) that my parents had planned to be a gift at some point. The box was had almost disinterested away and the instructions were chewed on or who knows. The sealed bags were beautiful, the majority of the bricks were bright and flaw free. A few had weird injection marks, not unusable or anything, just different. The figures were a little stiff at fist, but some new ones are also stiff. Overall, would recommend
>>5273518
UCS sets are for the ships deisgn not figures, that´s a fucking autistic reason to not want easier access to a popular figure.
Though it won´t change anything in Lego making arm prints exclusive to CMFs, polybags and UCS sets for at least a year now.
>>5273435
There is only one Rebels set asides form the microfighter that we know of so far, no new figs in it. So nope, she doesn't.
>>5273662
Actually, it's not really the case and never was to begin with as technically one of the first minifigs with printed arm comes from a normal set (the original torquoise Greedo). And it's definitely not something recent, especially, as the most common non-polybag printed arm figure, TLM Wyldstyle is pretty new A plenty of Marvel and DC figs from normal sets (Starfire in the latest wave, that GotG bruiser guy, iirc some version of Batman too...) had printed arms too recently. Even in SW it's not limited to UCS and polybags as one of the Rebels wookie figs from January has printed arms.

>literally-who
You could say the same about any of his villains that haven't been in a movie.
>>5273662
I would like to think I spent $200 on not only an amazing model, but also a very detailed minifigure.
The exclusive minifig thing is the same with the UCS Tumbler, the UCS Millenium Falcon (Ben Kenobi), the UCS Imperial Shuttle, the UCS Super Star Destroyer, the UCS Sandcrawler (a bunch of silly droid builds don't count to me, but Owen Lars does), the UCS TIE Fighter, and the UCS Helicarrier.
Yes, at the end of the day, the UCS sets are about the ships. I didn't buy the Slave I because I wanted the Fett figure, but it was a nice bonus. But I would like to see exclusive minifigures continue as a nice bonus to the collector, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

Well shown. I'm pretty hyped, these helmets are so cool looking!
>>5273516
go die crybaby.
Yes, when folks pay a zillion dollars for a UCS set, they should deserve to get a figure that is at least in some small way exclusive to that set.
>>5274076
That's a nice find.
>>5273502
No, but it would be nice to record it on camera so everyone can enjoy it.
>>5274057
Neato.
I, too, got a BL order today! One or two more and I can have some of my smaller LDD waifus. S'good.
>>5274181
There's this: http://ideas.lego.com/projects/106103
I bought this set for my niece and nephew last Christmas. They like it, but they're constantly licking the pieces like it might actually turn into ice cream one of these times. I shudder to think how many billions of microbes live on those pieces.
Post those spaceships lads. This is the first one I made, and it's the best one in my small fleet.
>>5274400
i made this ugly pos on a whim yesterday.
i name it the hamburglar.
>>5274408
It looks like a space hotrod. I like it.
I do like how it opens up the snotted roof and front window section.
Bloody hate waiting for bricklink orders to get sent :@
Even worse the shop had it so every 10 lots must be atleast $5 which made it impossible to pick up loads of cool shit :|

Cool moc, but I guess I was hoping for a more creative use, like using the domed ice cream pieces for weird spaceships or something. Guess Ill just have to do it myself
Hey lego general, I need some help. I'm having trouble finding the right pieces for a figure. Pic related. Will post second pic. I'm open to third party and official pieces, I just need to make some 80's/90's operators for a vignette

>>5273434
Holy Galidor... I think someone just posted something from Nexo I actually fucking like....
>>5274181
I can think of some uses for that swirl, but Duplo is so damn pricey on the regular market, and cracklink dealers don't usually carry many pieces.
>>5274408
I like it.
>>5274644
Thanks man. I didn't want to spend hours trudging through bricklink, and I'm just getting back into the game after a few year absence so I didn't know what I missed that would've furthered my goals
>>5274657
That's really cute. Can I see the back?
>>5274662
sure, and thanks.
Going to post more shots of yours? Engines look great, I'm curious about the wings.
>>5274721
I didn't take very good pictures and it's dismantled now, but I have a couple shots I saved.
It fits the standard SP1 prisoner pod.
Here it is without the pod.
Hey Lego General.
Not to be a whore, but I thought I'd post my Bricklink here.
Only because I'm moving soon--So if I can get rid of some of this before the end of the month, that'd save me a bit of a headache.
Not a lot of stuff, but whtever.
LotR, some Star Wars, etc.

You wouldn't want to disappoint Chibi-Rex and Chibi-Ray, would you?
>>5274743
You have quite a few minifigures I want, but some of them are in sets I don't want. No way would I ask you to ruin the marketability of your sets just so I could get the figs.
However I might scoop up that Council of Elrond... even though I just today ordered a Gimli fig for myself. Getting an alternate Elrond, plus Arwen, Frodo, and the ring would be neat. We'll see.
>>5274731
Nice. I think it's the first time I've seen that tires-as-engines thing look good, I'm stealing that and the wing design.

DO IT
>>5273502
two options
1. open it and build it, its a toy and you obviously already like building and playing with lego.
2. sell it, use the money to buy (most likely) much more lego than the first set. you're obviously not emotionally attached to the set, otherwise you would have built it already
>>5274774
Oh heya just got your message on there too.
They're all new in the box, so completely unopened and all that, except where specified otherwise.
So I'd prefer not to bust 'em open just for the figs. Like you mentioned in the message, it's easier to just sell 'em whole than in parts.
Sorry, guy. I hope you find your figs.
>>5274788
Hey it's just as >>5274802 said--If I end up not selling some stuff by the time I move, I'll open it up to shipping overseas and the like.
Whatcha lookin' at and where ya at? I mean I guess I can mull it over if you're paying all the shipping and taking care of that.
>>5274823
Completely unopened. Some cases, the sticker tab keeping the box closed is a little worn, but I haven't purposefully opened them and pilfered any bits and bobs from the sets.
And if you want the Duel, hit me up on there and we can work out specifics.
>>5274942
No sweat man. I'm glad you got it so fast, that means I can buy the set from you I wanted without worrying about holding off to see if I could put some figs in it.
I figured it would be a no-go but hey, worth a shot. It's not every day that I find a bunch of figs I'm looking for all in the same store.
>>5274942
No probs man, ill probably just buy it from you tomorrow on there (if I can convince the sig other to put out the dosh.). If I cant get it, well, best to ya man.

Oh thank christ you're here.
A while back I wanted to test my eye-to build skills and made a bootleg of some of your models! I posted pictures a while ago.
I wanted to set up a flickr account to write you and to send you the .lxfs to see if they were at all accurate to your actual builds. I really like your work, and I imitated yours both because of that and because it's a good learning opportunity.
Also, damn, nice.
>>5275163
Hänger du på Swebrick?
I CANT WAIT
>>5275170
More of my creepy stalker junk or what have you. I posted these a while ago.
I've built a lot of my own stuff with LDD and posted it around, but the squid sister bootlegs I just wanted to practice SNOT with. The backs of the heads for all of my versions I'm pretty sure are messed up, though. Building them was a lot of fun and quite educational, and god damn if what you make isn't clever.
I kinda wanted to do your version if Jim next but I'm torn between that and more MOCs of my own. I'm trying to build those but need to wait for a little.
A friend of mine is new in collecting Lego Figures. So she asked me if I can help her with a good way to display them and keep them away from dust and so on.
So has anyone an Idea? Or has made themselfs a display and can give me some advices?
I'm crafty but my tools are limited...
>>5275215
There's plenty of options to buy on the internet or you can just make a big grid with a bit of glass or clear plastic on the front.

I'm not going to claim to be right, but it seems that Disney isn't listed as Disney except on the princess line. It isn't Disney's Star Wars or Disney's Mahvel. At least on Lego's shop.
>>5275249
Oh well. There's only a handful of Disney characters I like enough to actually bother, but I suppose the scraps should sell easy enough on BL
>>5275258
This news is months old? This is the first public evidence
>>5274181
It is cool, but Duplo is ncredibly pricey and I have a big backlof of CMF to catch up with (why are the series 9 movie star and tarot reader so hard to get for cheaper than 10 euro?) so even though I quite often buy Lego stuff I'm unlikely to use in mocs just because it's funny and unusual I'll skip this for the time being. Maybe if I can find a single of these for cheap on ebay since bricklink rarely yeilds much results when searching for Duplo.
>>5274498
If this won't cost much more than CMF it's actually an ok deal.
I hope it means every knight will get robot squires ultimately, can't wait for red and orange ones for the only somewhat distinct knights.
>>5275400
I've seen these vary between 5€ and 9€ here.
And the only one that was 5 had a fucking Robo-Swat in it.
>>5275155
Yeah, something is odd indeed. Highschoolers don't dress like this, it's as if he was an actor in some movie about teenage deliquents.
>>5275249
Let me guess, neither Atlantis nor Treasure Planet will get anything (I'd add Black Cauldron too but honestly apart from Horned King's design this movie sucks)
I hope we'll get the Genie at least, I like the series 6 one well enough but it's always nice to have more
>>5275180
>>5275184
Thanks for liking my stuff. Great job replicating it. I can see a few pieces that are different from my versions but you seem to be 90% correct.
I agree that trying to figure out how others have made their MOCs is great exercise. It's how I got better at building. That, and lots of spare time.
Good luck with your other MOCs.

>>5275329
>This news is months old? This is the first public evidence
Nah, a couple months ago someone posted a really bad shoop of a Disney CMF bag that was clearly made in MS Paint.
It would just be a funny coincidence if it turned out that the next CMF wave actually was Disnep.
>>5275263
No one fills out a minifigure like Gaston!
>>5275407
They're 12-15 PLN in Poland, about 10-20% more expensive than CMF in most stores. Not worth it for city figs and Chima imo, but I'd pay that much for the robot (Atlantis squid and the Ninjago snakes were ok deals too imo, especially since there were no Lego magazines back then - they made a lot of these books redunant).
Dammit, I got so caught up in that lingonkart was here I forgot to ask for his e-mail, and didn't even say anything nice about the stuff he posted.
It wouldn't be too much to ask for your e-mail, would it? I'd still wanted to send you the .lxfs with the bootlegs.
>>5275413

Fellow Polish anons, anyone knows where the fuck all the Goblin Kings on allegro come from? Are those legt or just bootlegs?
>>5275449
That's because like 80% of Disney comics we get here are Italian, rest of Europe gets German and Scandinavian ones iirc. Duck Avenger is mostly an Italian and Brazilian phenomenon and for most of the west it's a literally who character... But then Lego loves literally who characters it seems, looking at DC sets and games especially (I was really happy to see Platinum, shame she's not in any sets)
>>5275452
He's also known well enough in Finland.
Monthly Donald Duck books have at least one story each. The monthly stuff is mostly the Italian stuff, while the weekly magazine has broader range
>>5275452
They are legit. Stolen stuff from Stryków - they assemble some series there.

I dunno, Brickset? Bricklink?
What do you even mean? How new is 'new' to you? Because pretty much every year brings at least some double digits' worth of new parts. Depending on how long you've been out of it there could be any number of 'new' parts.
AFAIK there's no single large database dedicated solely to cataloging brick releases except for what I mentioned, with Bricklink being better because it's a site you can buy and sell stuff on.

It's just a backlash, Egyptology swung the exact other direction in the 1920's, suggesting that "negroid elements" were responsible for the decline and collapse of the Old Kingdom.
The truth lies somewhere in the middle. There were black pharaohs, from Ammeris the Nubian onwards, responsible for repairing Egypt at a time petty warlords were destroying the civilization, but they were ultimately crushed by Persians. By the time Cleopatra came around, rulers were mostly of Greek descent.
Ultimately, people want to feel special, especially if they're disenfranchised and oppressed now. If they want to pretend they have the blood of kings, they can. It just won't help their cause at all when they live in a constitutional democracy and not a pharaonic religious dictatorship.

Oooooh, is that a new Creator set? Looks almost as good as Power Digger. Almost.
>>5276986
At least you can make a proper mech from that since it has those Exo-arms
>>5276990
Yeah! I imagine if you combine that with a Power Digger, you could make some really awesome stuff.
>>5276992
I'd combine it with one of the recent construction worker mixels instead, that's the best potential mix of parts in similar colors from sets around this price point imo
Anyone else going to get the Doctor Who set and bricklink parts to build a few other regenerations?
David Tennant looks to be the easiest to recreate. I have no fucking clue how you'd do Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy or Paul McGann. Don't even get me started on anyone named "Baker".
>>5277127
Doctor who has terrible toys and is a terrible show. Its on equal level to big bang theory and only got made because fans voted for it.
>>5277127
You should of course start with the in-game models from Dimensions. For sure you'll find zero exact prints of those torsos, but at least you have part colors and hair pieces to refer to (even though some may not exist).
Hurt would be easy enough to replicate, if it weren't for his hair. The CMF Judge is a good start to a Pertwee, if you don't mind cutting his cloth bits a little.
Are you also getting the Dimensions pack for Capaldi's regular outfit?
>>5277136
>only got made because fans voted for it.
Yes, that's how "Ideas" projects work! Do you want a gold star for knowing the painfully blindingly obvious, little boy? What a clever small child you are. Now let's just work on that crabby little attitude you have, widdle gwumpy face >_<

>>5277328
This is seriously starting to annoy me.
Slave Leia, Booberella from Monster Series and now Sigourney Weaver. Has LEGO stopped printing boobs?
>>5277363
Yes, it's been so for ages, I think at least since CMF series 3 or 4, so almost half a decade by now. Not sure why anyone cares since it's not like lego boobs look particularly good (but then so do printed pecs on a lot of recent male torsos, clothes don't work like this)
>>5277324

>>5277213
licensing for the cartoon is probably separate and Lego probably won't bother.
>>5277397
The Slimer looks pretty Real Ghostbusters to me
>>5277372
What's the point of this shit again? They might as well just slap a piece limit on submissions because every fucking time the larger sets don't have a chance in hell. Also at this rate ,everything in the second review is gonna be fucking canned too, since everything is huge and licensed. Give me my dinosaurs, dammit.
>>5277296
Yep, comes in the new City Fire Station too
>>5277363
>This is seriously starting to annoy me.
Yeah, that's the plan. TLG sat down a few years ago and asked themselves "how can we upset this manbaby", and the best answer they could come up with was "take away his minifig boobies".
>>5277209
I'm be her sub-creature
>>5277437
Breasts are here, and they are 3D
>>5277437
and why should I care...? this way we'll be getting more torsos with no limited usage which I'm ok with. In fact, argument can be made it's kinda happening already, looking at the (pretty amazing) female demolition worker from new City sets
I could understand if they were action figures or less stylized in general but Lego minifigs don't need boob printing, it often ends up looking stupid
>>5277437
> 2015
> not liking dfc
>>5277441
But anon! Why aren't you upset that THE FEMINISTS are winning? We should be able to have minifig with huge tits and visible nipples! Besides, there has literally never been a time before 2010 when Lego didn't make cleavage prints on torsos.
>>5277217
>And where do you place the Ecto-1?
That is one thing bugging me.
Of course I am going to nitpick this ti find excuse not to get it, especially at that price and having no place to put it. Don't even have a place for my Ecto-1 right now.
>>5277207
Alright, now I'm having a hard time believing the designer didn't use the Ideas model as a base for this set.
I mean it won't influence my decision to buy this set but they should have been honest about it.
>>5277453
The designer explained it on EB.
>You need to remove the ground-floor's furniture (they are easily removable) in order to have room to park the car and close the doors, but the Ecto-1 does go through the entrance! it was the compromise I had to make between making the car "fit the model" without leaving a big empty space in the ground-floor and compromising on details like Janine or Peter's desks.
>>5277207
I don't see a single reason to get it instead of the bank
the Nnjago ghost recolors look cute though, will bricklink
>>5277207
I REALLY hope the Brown/brown doors will appear in other sets. they are glorious.
>>5277458
they're pretty different, really. the similarities are due to both of them being based on the real building/locations of the movie
>>5277438
Don't worry Anon, soon all Friends mini-dolls will have flat chests as the green one.

>>5277479
Nah that's the thing, you never see the 3rd floors in the movies, yet they both designed it in the same way.
Also the kitchen area looks completely different in the actual movie.
You can always give the designer the benefit of the doubt but that's a lot of coincidences.

>>5277604
>2 sonic screwdrivers
Mine also. And the babby TARDIS is so adorable.
I still haven't played through the Doctor's level, though. Did the Portal one then got distracted by a shiny thing or the Internet or a butterfly or something.
>>5277600
How about some Mixels?
>>5277207
After seeing this I am honestly underwhelmed. Might just bricklink the ideas one and some of the new parts from this one. Plus the ideas one is ten times more comfy and can fit the ecto-1 in and still have the furniture.
Time for some enlightenment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOm-1NaYfxg
>>5277693
>can fit the ecto-1 in and still have the furniture.
Nope, it's the exact same problem on both models, you have to remove Janine's desk and still can't open the doors.
That's because the car is almost the right scale while the firehouse clearly isn't, you'll never be able to keep all the furniture inside unless you build a proper minifigure-scaled HQ.
>>5277767
The Firehouse seems better-scaled to minifigs than the Ecto-1, I think. With the firehouse you just need to make the minifig thinner to have scale with human proportions, while in the car you have to stretch the figure out a bit to fit that scale.
It's Vic Viper month.
So here is a thing that has a microfighter and not-microfighter mode because.
>>5277778
It's maybe a little tall but the length is pretty good, you can't really make it smaller.
Here's what a good minifig-scaled firehouse should look like.
>>5277802
It looks fucking amazing shame it would cost a small fortune to make and the fact the guy who made it made it to use woody sized figs.
>>5277886
lel why did he do that? They can't even sit in the Ecto-2 and probably can't even go through the doors.
Does anyone else here feel like they fucked up the helmets for the episode 3 clones? I want to like them, but the open gap for the eye slots makes me angry.

>>5277918
What a weird decision.
Oh well, it still has the best surface and is probably the closest to the correct scale out of all the MOCs I've seen.
>>5277939
I like the new ones too, the only problem I have is when they make them with regular heads instead of solid black heads, I hate seeing them like this.
>>5277913
They fixed it as >>5277939 said.
I'm surprised they're still using the old scout trooper helmets tho, even on the latest versions have them. Those are in desperate need of an upgrade.
>>5277950
Yeah scale and detail wise this is perfect I see the ideas one as more of a modular version.
>>5277958
Scouts can pull them off though imo, it makes it look like a visor, unlike the originally ep3 clones when it's indented so far that it looks horrendous from any angle other than the front.
>>5277960
Would it work well next to a modular it seems to fit the style.
>>5277962
True, my main issue with the scout helmet is the lack of details. It's just plain white.
>>5277967
It looks fine honestly add some grey and it would be more accurate I suppose.
>>5277970
That would help.
>>5277972
Definitely looks better
I wish there was more EU starwars sets.
Soo, which battlepack would you guys get? the Shadowtrooper one or the stormtrooper transport set from rebels?
>>5278006
Both.
>>5278006
I'd get the shadow trooper set, nice figures and more varied than the standard one, plus you'll probably have a lot more options to get the standard ones in other sets
>>5277630
Two screwdrivers, yes. Also the level is based around the Daleks and three time periods, along with two other planets. Wish we had spoilers here so I could safely post about some of the people that show up.
>>5278006
I'd get the Shadow Troopers so I could have more burqas, then give the stormies to my friend's kid like I did the first time.
>>5276354
I made that bike. I have an LDD file of it which is made of actual existing pieces in brown if you'd like me to upload it someplace. I could email it if you prefer.
>>5278006
I bough the rebels battlepack and I'd get the new Battlefront BPs.
>>5278006
The Shadowtroopers, definitely.
The stormies in the Rebels set all are in that awful animated style.
>>5277958
who fucking approves torso-belt combinations like that?
>>5278132
I know, right? That necktie is also an abomination. Zero effort.
>>5276457

hows this?
not done the turret yet but you get the idea
>>5278220
might change front legs to the side instead
>>5278220
The problem I have with the digital designer is that i can never tell individual pieces apart due to how it renders out. Also the crab is looking pretty neat.

>>5278353
Still, do Daft Punk seem like the type to turn down LEGO of all people? Theyre frenchfags, arent they, if I remember right? Do the french and the danes have any bad blood that my uneducated american ass doesnt know about?
DP just seem like the type of guys that wouldnt have a real problem with a company like LEGO. Sure, they would want their cut, and their record label, if they even have one that they dont own, might want a cut, but is the SW or GB franchise any less worse on that? Is DISNEY any less worse on wanting their cut of PROFITS?
Somewhere out there, a kike wearing mouse ears just rubbed his palms together in his sleep unknowingly.
>>5278634
have you considered that perhaps it's just not worth the effort for minimal profit an Ideas set would bring them? I think it might be the case with a lot of licensed Ideas stuff that didn't make it, especially in case of properties not owned by WB.
I'm more puzzled about Discworld, Pratchett himself didn't mind licensing - even to small companies, but then on the other hand I have no clue what was in his last will and it seems his family doesn't want to drag on Discworld in any form (iirc his daughter said not even unifnished novels will be published), so maybe they don't want to license it.
>>5278639
Fuck. Never knew Pratchetts family were cunts, especially his daughter.
Hopefully the rights move to some whom may deserve them.
>>5278642
There's nothing particularly cunty about it, at least when it comes to lack of desire to continue Discworld in any form, imo, it's better than letting other people who don't think in the same way as Terry write more novels, for sure. It haven't even been year since he passed away anyway, I doubt they'll never ever sell anyone merchandising and adaptation rights.
It's also not like too many companies wanted the rights too much when he was alive, to be fair, for some reason - the only merchandise I can think of atm are some card and board games a line of resin model kits done by some Polish garage kit company and none of them was too prominent... Is Discworld popular overseas? It's definitely huge here but I've never checked how is it like in the USA or Canada, let alone latino countries.

I found this image on the official LEGO Shop Facebook page, with this statement:
>We noticed a few questions about whether the Ecto-1 (set 21108) fits inside the Firehouse Headquarters. As you can see in the pictures, it does fit on the lowest floor but you need to move a desk, some newspapers, and a few crates (the items pictures in the lower, left corner).
>Just to be clear, the Ecto-1 is sold separately in set 21108 and does not come with this set. We hope this helps to clarify things!

Holy shit you retards need to stop whining about your ideas not going through. Just because you think they're good ideas doesn't mean everyone else does. The Lego Group knows better than you, and there's plenty of reasons why these didn't go through.
How big is the market for "Discworld" or "The Golden Girls"? Kids don't even know what that is. So what, like 10,000 adults (not all of them would even buy the sets) pressed support online. That's barely a fraction of the market, and that's not taking into account that the target demographic (children) would not buy it at all. Do you really believe a child would go into a store and ask their parent to get them Golden Girls? If I had seen Golden Girls Lego as a kid I would honestly think "what the fuck?" and think Lego was for old people or something. And Discworld..... I don't even know what Discworld is. Do you think 10000 buyers (that's assuming everyone that supported the project buys one) is enough to have Lego put the idea into international production?
It's just as simple with everything else there. There isn't a market for giant and SPECIFIC sets that would cost $500. Where would a child get $500? Would a child really want a giant dinosaur statue?
Some of these ideas are just plain pointless, boring or way too specific to appeal to the market. Why would anyone buy a Douglas DC-3 (SPECIFICALLY) over any other Lego plane?
IS the International Space Station really fun? Does anyone really want to spend $300-$400 on statue of the titanic, or a 1969 Corvette?
Or these people that keep submitting bigger versions of existing sets. Just does not make sense when you think about it rationally and without bias.
We already had a Medieval Market and it sold terribly. Do you think making it bigger will help sales?
cont.
>>5278917
With Zelda and Daft Punk it could just be licensing issues. Nintendo has sets currently in production with a Lego clone, and would probably want more $$$ than Lego is willing to give them.
Daft Punk didn't go through for multiple reasons. There is a company BearBrick that produces and has already produced Daft Punk minifigures. The set looked boring, and again very limited market.
Science Adventures seems like it should make sense but you have to remember that as soon as it's deemed educational, children are pushed away from it, thinking it's boring or uncool. The sets didn't really have much to do with science anyways and Lego has sets that are similar except more exciting.
Anyone who understands any amount of business and isn't basing their reaction on bias and personal wants can figure out exactly why none of these went through. Seriously just think about it. This has been on my mind lately and it's annoying and stupid. Maybe I just understand it better because I was a kid less long ago than you guys, but I just can't get your mentality. Just because you would buy something doesn't mean anyone else would. Just because you like something doesn't mean enough people do.
>>5278918
Hopefully this puts a rest to all the stupid comments and juvenile complaining. But I don't know what I should expect from a bunch of adults that play with kids toys.
>>5278600
there were several released in the years: 2002-2008-2009-2010-2011-2013
>>5278917
>Do you think 10000 buyers (that's assuming everyone that supported the project buys one) is enough to have Lego put the idea into international production?
Mark Stafford, a LEGO designer, said 10,000 is the minimum run of something to justify them making a set. That's why they set that number as the benchmark for Ideas.
>>5278950
clearly they don't have faith in the idea being lucrative. It miiiight sell 10,000 if they're lucky, but will it be worth it? Clearly not, look at their decision.
>>5274743
Hello to all my Bricklink buyers.
I've sent out the first patch of invoices.
I forgot how overwhelming this shit can get.
I dunno. I'm a simple man. I'm just trying to do my best.
So hey, check your e-mailboxes.
And have some more kawaii-REX for your trouble.
>>5278918
>as soon as it's deemed educational, children are pushed away from it, thinking it's boring or uncool
Is that a thing? The reason my parents started getting me Lego in the first place is because they were told it was educational. I grew up knowing that, and played with my bricks regardless.
>>5278917
>We already had a Medieval Market and it sold terribly
I agree that large sets wouldn't ever get through on Ideas, but I want to know where you learned that the Medieval Market Village sold terribly.
>>5278917
>I don't even know what Discworld is
Wow, It's true, kids are so illiterate this days. Just read a book kiddo.
>>5279043
not him, but that shit isn't popular at all in other countries
>>5278917
I thought the logic was, as long as there is big fag theory, might as well have Golden Girls.
>>5278950
10,000 is to low.
>>5279046
This, Discworld is huge in the UK, Poland and maybe German-speaking countries but it's pretty much it. Sure, there's shitload of translations, but rarely on the entire series and in a lot of countires they never sold well. Gaiman is more recognizable as far as Brit fantasy authors go, I think. Maybe even Moore and Morrison too if you'd stretch it to comics.
>>5279023
It was shelfwarming until the last wave of Kingdoms in a few stores here, but idk if it means too much. It seemed to be very popular with collectors but kids probably prefered the skeleton and orc castles in the same price range (honestly so did I, I liked the windmill from Kingdoms more as far as "realistic" big medieval sets go anyway)
>>5279082
It's just right for the community of people who actively participate in LEGO-related things. The reasons that projects don't get through has nothing to do with how many people would want it.
>>5279023
The troll fortress was released at the same time and was seemingly much more popular, it was huge among the classic castle community, sure, but the biggest group of buyers are kids.
>>5278634
it doesn't matter what daft punk says if Lego chooses not to approach them to make fucking minifigs of all things.
Then if they did get in, all we'd ever fucking get in ideas are minifigs for stupid shit.
"Oh, please make a Kat Dennings minifig! Make me a Dr. Oz minifig! I want a Mighty No. 9 minifig!" Is that what you want?
the only good Ideas set was that lab thingy and it should've just seen a regular release as a City set
I do like Wall-E too but there were so many fan builds at the time, many of them with LDD instructions, that it was a bit redunant
>>5279086
Are you literally retarded?
>>5279090
Speaking of, is Wizard of Oz going to get a real set, or is that just for Lego dimensions?
What's with all the aggro comments lately? People need to chill out, pop open a set, build, relax.
It's meant to be a fun hobby not a grudge match.
>>5279104
It isn't, at least not in the winter wave. I'd expect something based on the new Harry Potter spinoff over this anyway since it's seemingly getting some Dimensions stuff too.
>>5279043
Discworld set is shit. It has zero playability and the only draw is "lol it's based on those books I like" (can't remember the author's name). At this point customers would rightly see it as a LotR knockoff.
>>5279104
I hope it does. The headpieces for Dorothy and friends look like good accessories to have.
>>5279102
No. I just don't see how ten thousand supporters is too low a number.
>>5279106
Your Lego Waifu a shit. :DDD
>>5279112
They really should've gone for a Watch set in the submission, Pratchett's take on Death is great but as generic design-wise as it can get, and Watch is not only more recognizable but also features more unique character designs and could be assisted by a more interesting build (like a small tenement building on par with the recent Creator store thingy)
Not sure in which way it'd look like a LotR knockoff even if the submited design got made unless you're one of those people who don't read at all and think Tolkien invented fantasy or some shit
>>5279015
Yes, there's a stigma with educational toys and children.
If you were a kid would you find something you associate with school more fun than ninjas fighting snake people with swords and motorcycles and dragons?
>>5279023
There was a discussion on Eurobricks about it a while ago and there was a lego employee who said that it sold very poorly.
>>5279043
"If I know what it is you should too!!"
This is something that's super niche even for an adult market, now take into account that Lego is for children. They would make a few sales based on product design alone and that's if they're lucky.
>>5279074
Big Bang Theory is very current and more popular. Golden Girls is a step in the exact opposite direction Lego wants to take. Very old demographic. How the hell could you sell that to kids?
>>5279090
They already have minifig licensing with another brand.
>>5279086
This is the dumbest thing I've read in this thread. The universal and ultimate rule of business is demand. Lego will not produce anything that will not make money, it would be pointless.
Do you really think Lego is going to take a loss so a few adult fanboys on the internet can get something they like? Do you know how much work goes into getting a standalone and licensed set onto shelves?
>>5279112
>can't remember the author's name
Terry Pratchett
>>5279113
Take this into account.
The Lego Group spends X amount of money on licensing, as well as all the work into making it work out. They pay royalty to the person that designed it as well as pay their designers. They use their assets to put together enough sets for an international release. Now they have 10,000 supporters, which is absolutely nothing in comparison to the market they have with something such as Ninjago. 10,000 fans (across the entire internet) of that specific thing who may not (and probably wont) even buy the set. Or someone who took the time to click support (which obviously does not equate to a sale).
So they put the sets out, enough for an international release (like the rest of cuusoo projects have had) and they sit there and hope , without marketing, that the sets will sell enough that they make a profit in a market where the demographic has absolutely no idea what the product is.
"I just don't get it!"
>>5279023
The only reason I didn't buy this was because I was unemployed at the time.

>>5279008
Thanks pal. Looks like you did pretty good for yourself, lots of stuff is missing.
Looking forward to getting my set in the mail.
>>5279147
>buy ninjago pirates next year
The small zeppelin with the creepy samurai is pretty much the most anticipated set next year for me, next to the modular bank and pirate mixels.
>>5279113
Lets do some ridiculous and hilarious math.
We'll assume they sell 10,000 sets at $30 each. Online release only.
10000x30= 300,000
300,000 - license cost - royalty % - cost of product - cost of molds if they have to make some - cost of employees/workers
wow that sure leaves a lot of money left for lego. that's assuming a perfect scenario too.
sure is worth it for fan service for fans of something other than lego
>>5279160
He said that's the minimum, not the minimum necessarily for licensed sets. The set he was talking about was the Exo-Suit, which wasn't licensed(though he wasn't saying it had a 10,000 unit run, just that that was the bare minimum they would ever do for a mass release set).
>>5279169
The argument was in favor of a licensed set
i was just putting into contrast what releasing one of these licensed ideas at a limited 10k unit production would be like
>>5279123
Lego is for children. So why make a set of the Big Bang Theory or the Simpsons? There's weird almost sex scenes in Ghostbusters, and penis conversations.
>>5279174
Sounds like you're arguing about something that nobody disputes.
I just got all the pirate sets (except the chess set) and I never understood why only the pirates get a ship. I have the Spanish one but it's small and only has one cannon. Why don't these new soldiers there up against get one? They made a governor and commander minifigs of them but all they get is fishing boats?
>>5279181
Build your own, just have to change the colors and get different sails from Bricklink.
>>5279176
They're both extremely popular, even with kids. Ultimately if there is a market for something they will sell it, as long as it doesn't conflict their company philosophy. Ghostbusters has a new movie coming out. That basically works as marketing for the sales. The set's look playable, fun and interesting for kids and there's the adult demographic too. I'm positive that there are more kids that like ghostbusters than those other licensed ideas. 10,000 supporters shows interest so that lego can take the idea seriously, if they think they can sell it, they will.
Ghostbusters is also a unique situation where they can get rights to it very easily through warner bros. Who knows? Maybe their contract holds rights to all warner bros IP
>>5279183
I did consider it, but it's kind of weird that they consider a wave complete like this.
>>5279179
Someone was saying that they didn't see 10k as a small amount after I raised the point about 10k not being enough for a licensed idea going through
>>5279142
Of course the projects that get traction on Ideas will have nothing sales-wise compared to Ninjago. One is a big media-backed intellectual property with multitudes of sets per year, and the other is a platform where no two projects may have anything to do with each other, with limited releases.
Ideas isn't about trying to find the next big theme via community polling. It's a place where people suggest projects that could be made into one-off products, with the 10,000 number assuring TLG that they would be able to sell at least one production run.
They wouldn't need bigger numbers than that, because Ideas isn't about making their big bucks.
>>5279187
The good guys got, what, 2 ships in Lego's entire history? 3 if you count conquistadors who iirc were used as villains for the Islander subtheme mostly anyway. Kids probably just like pirates more and for designers it opens more interesting design possibilities with more ragtag ship appearence and decorations.
To be honest as much as I like classic and 2000s pirates, I don't care for the new ones. Too many rehashes, too few new things, I bought the cook, captain and governor's daughter and some of the dark red masonry pieces but that's it. I guess some people were happy to get more bluecoats too, but as a whole it felt subpar and I'd take the Ninjago pirates over these any day, they're not as orthodox in terms of design but at least it's not buying the same thing for the third time (and they'll go surprisingly well with Metalbeard, here comes perfect crew for the Sea Cow)
>>5279192
Might not be about making big bucks, but it still has to make money. Lego may not even want ties through all the licensing. I'm just saying that there's valid reasons why ideas didn't go through that are fairly easy to see.
People shouldn't be too surprised or complain about it when certain ideas do not go through.
They should just think about the idea without bias for a sec
>>5279123
>If you were a kid would you find something you associate with school more fun than ninjas fighting snake people with swords and motorcycles and dragons?
Can't I like both school -and- dragons?
>>5279214
So if pojects fail for valid reasons like impossible licensing deals or outdated themes, then there doesn't seem to be anything you can blame on the 10,000-supporter rule.
I still don't see why the number would be too low.
ayyyyy
>>5279217
HP, especially the first two and last two waves (the 2004 one was very weak though), was easily the best license Lego ever had. Great part selection, amazing accessories and printed pieces, lot of cool minifigs with plenty of uses outside of original setting. I'd probably buy most of it even if I wasn't fan of the books (they have some problems but I'd say it's still one of the best series aimed at kids/teenagers within the last 20 years)
ATLA had potential but the builds were subpar and release was limited, LOTR was great but too expensive, superhero sets suffer from "(popular hero) and occasionally his friends in every set" syndrome (which is understandable but still... meh). Not much interest in any other license up to date.
>>5279221
In some situations it's too low, I made specific examples of why, for each of the ideas that got turned down earlier :P
In some cases (especially new licenses), 10k would be low because you can gain 10k supporters but if lego doesn't think there's a market, 10k supporters doesn't mean much.
>>5279190
>Someone was saying that they didn't see 10k as a small amount after I raised the point about 10k not being enough for a licensed idea going through
Well, that might be what you meant, but you only brought up the licensed aspect into it when you started doing the math. Go back and look for yourself.
>>5279243
No, go back further to when I made specific reasons why each of the ideas didn't go through.
It's just getting confusing because neither of us can tell which responses and posts are us I think
>>5279231
>those flags
Love it!
>>5279240
Whether or not there's a market is decided by the 10k number. It's not a decision Lego makes separately. It's the function of the support mechanic.
Your earlier examples talked about whether or not kids would buy X. The project supporters are all teens-to-adults, who thought that license Y or idea Z would be neat to have.
There are 10,000 fans of Golden Girls. They supported because they wanted that set made, and if you raised the supporter number, another couple thousand people would have still supported. It probably still won't get made despite that.
>>5279235
Were the Tolkien themes really expensive?
>>5279235
I will agree here. HP gave us great sets, especialy first series. I LOVED the modular system. It's shame lego is not using it more often in their themes. Imagine Spacew theme where ALL ships can mix.
I think ideas should be original. Just making a set of a copyrighted product isn't an original idea.
Someone already made it out of not Lego!
>>5279265
For some reason here in Poland it was a lot more expensive than other licenced series. I think there was problem like this in france too.
Basicaly lets say smaller set in $ cost as much as City set "A". Here in Poland it was more expensive- it cost as much as set "B".
>>5279278
Add to this that there seem to be problems with distribution of licensed themes here lately and Lego Polska mostly seems to sell them to chain stores like Smyk that inflate the place further. I've only seen LotR at independent retails two or three times in my city and it wasn't a wide spectrum of sets, sadly.
>>5279302
Ah and it seems Lego Polska will no longer get Super Heroes. At least my boss told me so.
>>5279306
They already barely got anything and iirc only TRU, Smyk and Auchan had the AoU and new DC sets anyway.
It seems like there are problems with orders of cmf for independet retailers like other people were saying before too.
Lego Polska a shit
>>5279090
We already get that anyways.
