Because making a new thread is a great way to get people to post all the NOTHING that was sending the old one hurtling towards page ten.

We had a while where new threads didn't happen until the image limit was reached. That was good. Let's get back into that habit.

>>5285502
I prefer this one too, UA isn't really worth it apart from bad guy figs and the drill. Too monotonous color scheme and good guy figs, the first Agents had somewhat of an unified theme to both factions and the result was pretty nifty, UA looks as if they either ran out of steam after designing the villains - that or they wanted to appeal to average "muh realistic military" fan which is even worse considering how monotonous 90% of this shit is.
>>
>>5285561
But overall I really liked UA, it's just the colour scheme. Vehicle design was strong in that one, and the league of villains leaves other themes for dead.
>>
>>5285554
sup butthurt op
>>
>>5285566
When it comes to recent themes, Monster Fighters had the best villain selection imo, both in terms of figs and sets, some of the Ninjago waves come close too (especially snakes and ghosts), but yeah, I agree overall. Fire guy, drill hands guy and the robo shark are my favorites (shame the last one is seemingly a limited release)

That's just your opinion, man

They did a re-release of a plenty of 80s sets in the early 2000s and it didn't do too well, not to mention that Castle/Kingdoms from late 2000s and early 2010s is miles better than any castle before, nostalgia be damned. I wouldn't mind a Fright Knights reboot though.

Nothing too major, just a couple of weak connection points that need changing. But given how top-heavy she is and how small her feet are, I think I'll probably have to make her a stand to balance on.

if you're really into architecture i recommend you check out the creator houses sets, if you have some more money to spend and want some more bang for your back i highly recommend you check out the more advanced "modulars" from Lego.
The latter come with loads of more traditional bricks, have several architectural styles to choose from and some even come with a very very detailed interior.

Also, prepare to get mad addicted to the blindbag series figures. If you see one you like, you can check out wich parts they come with and feel through the bags for them. They tend to skyrocket in price on the aftermarket so be quick.

I still don't get why the city-esque figs from series 9 ans 10 like the movie star, trendsetter and grandpa are worth so much while the majority of similar figures from the same or even ollder series at best cost 1,5 times as much as new blindbags (climber, parachute guy, all the mechanics and cops, pop singer, lifeguard...).

I have 15 years worth of lego collecting in boxes under my bed. I'm tired of crawling under my king size and pulling everything out to find a specific box, and tired of scraping through a mess of parts to find one piece.

What are some space effective ways to sort and store lego? I don't have a lot of floor space to work with, so vertical or possibly hanging things might be helpful.

Help me lego general, you're my only hope.
>>
>>5287437
Sort by type not by colour. Units of little drawers are superior to bins
>>
>>5287437
My solution may not work for you, since I'm Bricklink seller, but I have a ton of ziploc bags, with the parts being sorted by type. More specifically, they're by BL categories. It works decent, I just pull out the bags I need, and pick out the parts

I really should get a drawer of sorts, but I don't know if I have enough room for one. Not to mention that some parts I have are huge, and trying to find a big enough drawer is a pain.

And this is all for new parts alone. Everything used is just in a Ninjago board game box.

a combination of >>5287442 and >>5287457
it might help in the long run to break your sets into piles by color (if you have alot of certain waves) so you're not starting with a massive wall of "find all the 2x2 plates" but thats just going to make more work
by part should be your better bet but you dont need hardware storage like for screws or buttons, you're not going to have 1-3 types of millions of different parts, you're going to have massive amounts of simple bricks of many colors
so a storage like this, but separating everything into bags would be your best bet in the beginning
then if you eventually want to use little drawers because you have ALOT of legos, migrate to that

Why use normal wheels when you could use the rail wheels that fit those axles? Similarly you could use the '4 gauge rail bits and the loose single rail parts for actual narrow gauge.

You guys have to remember that LDD doesn't really "click" the smallest rail wheels of any kind to any narrow gauge track.

As for the cowcatcher problem, if I were you I'd add height to fix it so that that way you can use the actual rail wheels. It'd also let you add details like the valve gear, though of course non-functionally. Otherwise your train is more like a funland train than, say, a narrow gauge mining or industrial railway bit.

So I finally kinda managed to reverse engineer tkh's heads, something I've wanted to do for a while.

It's mostly accurate to the look as far as I can tell, but as it happens I actually made a connection tighter than tkh's, which has a gap in the eye, and clearly some connections are different, as tkh's are much more easoly mounted than mine, which has upside down studs in the neck zone. Still, it seems quite feasible as a build.

Shoulders are very limited, but that isn't too bad. I'd like to have her able to cross her arms, something other MOCs I've made can do, but which simple connections like her shoulders' current type can't pull off.

This version is "my" version- it's inaccurate to what tkh actually does. It's tighter and longer than his heads' innards. I dunno how it'd affect building, for the most part. It still gets the idea across in LDD. Next is the accurate version.

This is the second version. It's closer to what tkh does as far as I can tell. Both don't seem to be -quite- what he does, but they're close, so I'm okay with 'em.

I feel kind of iffy about this sort of thing, but this is more of just sharing a design concept than a full-on creation like with lingonkart' stuff that I imitated.

The ship actually looked like a very nice build and, depending on the price, potential good part source, putting ugly birds aside. Pigs aren't bad, I'd get two or three to use as aliens or ugly toadmen.

Yeah, as a kid I always thought that the (in my mind) arbitrary split between M-Tron and Blacktron: Future Generation was just due to me growing up, but after the first time reading this I realized that I just liked the designer more. As much as I love the Futurons, power of magnets is probably my favorite faction. Their culture in LQ is basically a direct port of my childhood headcanon.

Here's the photocopier I made for the last episode of Sunnydale Heights that I said I was going to post. Looks like I didn't get all the sticky-tack off of the round tile. I thought about putting a feed tray on the right side, but it seems like it fits the time period more like this.

And here's the typewriter. I looked at a bunch of other people's designs and none of them seemed to be minifig scale, so I'm really happy with this. The one downside is that putting a white tile on top of it makes the roll bar almost pop off, and makes it look a little too bulky. If anyone has suggestions for how to make a better typewriter, I would love to hear them.

I like this a lot, been struggling with a typewriter build myself.

There's a plenty of builds around but most of them just don't seem sturdy enough for me.

Did you have them printed before you started the game?

I think I'll go for a mixture. Large boxes with ziplocs for large/common pieces, small trays for delicate pieces. Sorted by colour and rough categories, bonkles/hero factory/technic, minifigs, general.

Thanks lego general, i've been putting this off for years. It seemed so daunting, but having a plan helps. Now you can turn into a force ghost and hang out with yoda.

No, I took a picture of a yellow legs assembly and printed them all out after that 11 got rolled. I printed a second page in hopes that it would come out with less color, but it didn't.

Should've been made in Lt.Bley, kind of messing with the whole made of stone thing.

Might be because they were already producing torsos and heads in that color.

I did it about a year ago. About 75% of my collection is sorted and all the pieces I use frequently are neatly separated. I wish I had drawers instead of bins but it works. Would recommend.
