When are the Disney CMFs out? Want to get some of them for nostalgia, might even full set for the hell of it.

Around April or May, as is usual for a year's middle CMF wave.

He is even more lame than Anakin.

Don't worry anon, he's coming in a set in the new year that is cheaper than the shuttle.
>>5365091
You wanted another badass imposing villain?
>>5365089
Eh, at least it gives you enough time to save up for a full box of them when they come out.
>>5365100
>You wanted another badass imposing villain?
yeah because there are only 2 types of villains. badass imposers and whiny goth kids.
>>5365106
And that's why we got the whiny goth kid. Too much of type A in Star Wars.

Shit post is shit
Okay so I have a question:
Is it possible at all to make a profit selling MOCs on Ebay?
I'd love to get into building MOCs, but Lego is expensive and I'm unemployed so I'm unable to justify doing it. If however I can sell the MOCs for a profit, even if it's just enough profit to pay for my own future MOCs that I wouldn't sell off, then that's an entirely different story and I'd likely get the chance to delve into it.
>>5361885
Aw man, the beard is attached to the hat? I was hoping to make a Flying Nun fig. The LotR sets were expensive, but had lots of cool stuff. I'm not even into the series, but they were perfect for goblins, orcs, dwarves, and elves to fill out my Castle races. The Elves theme is sort of filling that role now too.
>>5365123
Either next wave, or never. As it stands all we get is a sticker.
>>5365185
Not even with a DVD? A living Merlok would go great in that kind of release.
>>5365195
Personally I'd love to see a sort of trans-yellow/gold minifig for him. Just... Everything translucent and hologram looking.
>>5365170
All these rad Elves sets are making me think a Nexo Knights and Elves crossover would be cool, it even fits with the tech = human, nature = elves thing
>>5365032
>>5365055
There's more then enough Doctors/Doctor verities to fill an entire CMF series;
>First Doctor

Then there's all the different monsters, aliens and enemies. Many of which have multiple design variations. From the revived series alone we have;
>Dalek

That's 80 different minifigs they could do, from this list alone. That's five series worth.
>>5365123
We will probably as shows confirms there are more wizards but they dissapeared somehow.
>>5365330
The Doctors all have so many damn costumes that you could make multiple series just from those. Like the First Doctor's scarf and hat or his bombastic outfit from The Reign of Terror, the Second's giant puffy fur coat, Four's buccaneer look from his final season, Three's countless velvet jackets and capes and maybe even a shirtless variant with his dragon tattoo.
>>5365358

>>5365473
>Some China one's popped up on Ebay.
I have a chink one and an official one. Quality wise, you cant tell them apart. Paint jobs good, joints are good, cape is good, etc. Only thing that was off was his saber blade, which was a pinkish orange color instead of red. Easy enough fix and cheaper than paying full price.
>>5365330
>>Rory Williams (The Lone Centurion)
I would give a lot of money for that

Still looking for some sort of answer to this, btw.
>>5365605
Not really, then.
Get a job.
>>5365605
>selling mocs
>selling instructions
You're the worst. If I had the time I'd remake your MOCs and post the instructions for free.
>>5365621
Why? If somebody can make some money doing it, what's the real problem?
I wouldn't do it and my reaction to seeing somebody selling instructions is 'meh I can do a better job' but not everybody can do that, and everybody has to make money somehow.
>>5365628
>somebody selling instructions
It wouldn't be instructions I'd be selling, It'd be the finished model with no instructions, or so was the plan.
>>5365636
Yeah, I know, but either way I'm just curious what the other anon's objection here is.
there's combatbrick, ichibantoys, some others I can't remember that sell MOCs as custom sets, so it's possible...good luck if you decide to do it.
This set is so dumb, but I fucking love it.
And I'm kinda tempted to army build the guy with the porn mustache.
Poe's X-wing was in stock on amazon and I hesitated and now it's gone.
How regularly should I be rechecking to see if it's in? I can't buy it elsewhere cause I have a giftcard I want to use.
>>5365653
>people keep saying Poe's X-wing is rare
>shelves full of the little shit around here in every store in every town
>>5365654
Tell me about it. For the most part it's the only TFA set here.
And I wouldn't mind it so much, but I kinda want to get it, but they charge 85-90€ for it here, and it's way too much.
>>5365625
I wasn't hating, I was being serious. A job will help you build what you want.
If you'd really like to make something nice, the income will help you buy the parts. Money is important and unless you're getting autism bux you're not going to be able to build what you'd like.
>>5365650
dat moooostache~
>>5365661
If I could get a job that easily I'd have one already m8. It was just an idea for a way to pay for my own MOCs and if it worked out really well, maybe a little more besides.

I was a little disappointed with that as well. Nets are cool.
>>5365700
>2012 Slave 1
They made one then? According to Brickset, last full-sized one, not counting UCS, was in 2010
>>5365721
2010 then, I'm not sure, Bricklink says it's the third edition.
Should I get the Takodana set for 50 bucks? Or Nexo Waifus?
>>5365654
Are these people on ebay by any chance
>>5365734
Nexo.
>>5365734
Only really good part of Takodana is the troopers, and even those are cheaper in a battle pack.
But if you want the old alien, emo git, few trees and Finn, go for it.
>>5365702
how does I boju
>>5361885
some of them are great and i'm still kicking myself for missing them. i got myself a Council of Elrond from ebay for christmas
>>5365621
There's nothing wrong with selling instructions.
You're paying for the time and effort somebody put in to fully flesh something out that the Lego group usually ignores. You're paying for the time and effort the individual put in to make a step by step manual of the process.
Now, if you're charging above .... maybe $5... now that's criminal, but only because I'm cheap.
>>5365700
The new one has more printed parts.
Hope this works. Tried posting ths facebook link a hundred times already.

>>5361885
>How does /toy/ feel about the lotr and hobbit legos?
Boy don't get me started. I have a love-hate relationship towards that. LOTR is what got me out of my dark age (I own atleast one of every single set) but it ended extremely disappointing as we missed out on key characters and both the last waves of LOTR and Hobbit was extremely poor.
I still love LOTR. first wave had great sets, from the smaller Shelob set to the amazing Helm's Deep, which is my favourite LEGO castle ever. Tower of Orthanc is amazing too, and a real treat to any LOTR fan. However the second wave had not outright bad but rather very weird choices for sets. Pirate Ship, Elrond Council and Black Gate battle when we could have had Balrog set and Battle of Pelennors Field??
I dislike Hobbit alot more, partly because I hated the movies. Still, I will admit that the Bag End is just beatiful, it's easily the single best set out of all LOTR/Hobbit. Other than that I'm not very fond of the sets, most just feel like pieces of rocks or wood. The last wave was especially poor, the Smaug set being the worst with a horribly inflated price and shitty minifigs, sole saving grace was the admittedly cool Smaug.
Still gonna miss official Eowyn, Sauron, Gondor Soldiers and more, you can build your own "sets" but minifigs are worse.

I still don't understand why people are so buttblasted about the vested ones. It brings some variety, and those don't look too bad.

>>5365886
>I still don't understand why people are so buttblasted about the vested ones. It brings some variety, and those don't look too bad.
If the one with the vest was 1 out of 4 with the other three being regular troopers, people wouldn't bitch. But since it's one of each, including the goddamned First Order Crew which is in almost every First Order set, everyone that isn't a regular stormtrooper is rage inducing to morons and mildly annoying to everyone else.

At that point just try to bricklink the pieces
>Trying to call <20 pieces of Lego in a box a 'set'
>Trying to charge money for that bullshit
>>5366068
Not that guy, but the set is 1500 parts already. It's not really that much cheaper to part it out.
>>5366068
That seems like a lot of work.
Really though, I'm kinda torn between getting a bunch of smaller sets like the old AT-ST and Slave 1 and a desert skiff or one really huge one like the Tantive in January.
>>5366093
The UCS set sells for like thousands these days.
Anyone else waiting on the new microfighters? Getting back into things, I really just want some of the new stormtroopers (snow especially) and a couple of those X Wings.
>>5366096
I have all 12 microfighters so far. Don't feel like stopping right now.
But I still consider the first wave to be the best one. Second and third both have like two actually cool ones.
>>5366104
I don't have nearly as much extra funds for lego sadly, since I'm already collecting something else on /toy/. The Episode VII toys are just too adorable to pass up. Anon, does Phasma have a head shown below her mask?
>>5366116
It's a solid black stud, her face isn't shown in the movie.
>>5366121
Damn, I guess they're going to keep it a secret until at least the next movie. I thought Boba and the troopers had faces, though.
>>5366126
She doesn't deserve a face for being such a non-character.
If anything, we get dirty version of her after Ep VIII after Han threw her to the trash compactor.
Or she just flat out died.
Just made this. Thoughts?
>>5366062
Thank. Just checked bricklink and some of those appear to already be for sale.
Are they out already?
>>5366135

I like building armies. But I think more than 40 is too much. Aspecialy when you have all the same figs.... My Brikwars Orc army (45 units) is full of customised units.
>>5366177
There's a difference between making a display of minifigs with customizing them and simply hoarding them to get as many as possible to simply stick them on a grey baseplate.

Yea I bought this set recently off Bricklink and it's complete no speeder of Figs. I got 4 Clone Troopers, 2 Gunners and 2 Pilot's but hunting a Captain to lead them all.
Also hunting for this 3 hole Clock so I can turn the Captain into this.
Also this Guy on Bricklink was FL based like me yet hasn't shipped it yet and I paid on the 24th.
Kinda getting inpatient.
>>5366524
if he lived in an hours distance I would've just driven to pick up
>>5366502
>Let's see....I have 15,782 assorted, random pieces.
>Time to put every single one of them into a MOC
>>5366527
Debated it. I emailed the Seller and asked what the situation was and said I was within Orlando Area and willing to drive to pick it up.

UCS Hoth is my only hope for 2016, I've been needing a base for my lego shit for ages. If it's shit then I'm going to have to buy a shitload of random assorted bricks and create one myself
>>5366548
I wonder that the fuck it will look like and include to be only that much of a cost.
>>5366387
$30 on ebay for that, suck my dick. Chinese all the way.
>>5366267
Man, I wish I could find that tower still.
>>5366502
This just screams "1999" to me. I see Vader's TIE Fighter wings and all sorts of '90s Space and underwater-theme windows.
>>5365859
>Still gonna miss official Eowyn, Sauron, Gondor Soldiers and more
Same, I really want the Sauron minifig from the game
I'm naively holding out hope that they make them for Dimensions.
Like a little soldier of Minis Tirith with a trebuchet or something.
Come to think of it, why can't Lego just do a CMF series based on Lord of the Rings. I know the reason they can't for Star Wars is because it violates merch licenses for action figures, but with LotR there's no action figures on the market, so why not? Is it just because they think it won't sell well enough?
>>5366738
>Is it just because they think it won't sell well enough?
Probably. Hobbit didn't seem to do that well.
It'd be nice if they did more LEGO Dimensions stuff. If they did a team pack with Eowyn and a Rohan soldier or a Boromir/Gondor soldier pack that'd basically get everything easily doable out of the way.
>>5366738
Because they only do one CMF series at a time and unless it sells like their normal series or the Simpsons line they aren't going to do it.
>>5366576
That's the same price as the Ewok Village, right? So it'll probably be pretty sizable. I'd expect a nice exterior build, with maybe a Wampa cave, bacta tank, and command room interior. A tauntaun, a wampa, Luke, Leia, Han, R2, C-3PO, a few Rebel troopers, some Rebel support staff, the medical droid, a few Imperial troops.
Maybe a hanger + Snow speeder.
>>5365865
All that beautiful lego displayed on those shitty plastic shelves, hell wal mart shelves would be better than those.
>>5366738
>Is it just because they think it won't sell well enough?
It's because they KNOW it won't sell enough.
>>5366267
The Tower and bag end are the only lotr sets I still have on display, had to bag my helm's deep and orc forges for room.
>>5366760
I wanted to take a picture of my shitty white shelf of Star Wars Lego but apparently 6:30 in the morning isn't the optimal condition for photographing something in a dark room where the lamplight doesn't reach so have a picture of my Star Wars minifig collection instead.
>>5366445
this piece is prone to breaking at each end
>>5366763
>>5366748
>>5366746
But would they really not sell?
The Simpsons CMF seem to do nothing but sit on shelves, yet they got a second series.
All that would be needed is one series. If it fails, well that sucks. If it does well, it could open the door to other CMF lines doing something similiar, like the above mentioned Doctor Who idea.
>>5366807
The Simpsons Series 2 shelf-warms because it didn't need a second series and nobody wants the same characters in different outfits.
>>5366807
Simpsons was already planned for two series. They would have gotten a second wave no matter how poorly it sold.
>>5366812
And the most recent regular series shelfwarms as well which leads me to believe that they produced a fuckload more of each this time.
>>5366812
Somewhere in my area is some faggot that picks up all the best shit out of the boxes for CMFs and I swear to god I will find him someday.
I -never- see anyone else in the Lego aisle but it's always picked over like some fucking scalper has been there, no matter where I go.
Simpsons 2 is pretty much untouched, though.
>>5366834
Whenever I went to fondle series 10 bags at my local Meijer store I would always find a little slit in one corner where some scalper piece of shit was trying to find BIG MONEY MISTER GOLD. I hope he never fucking did and got hit by a car in the parking lot.

fucking assholes, wasting all those new sets, pieces and displays because Lego can't be bothered to donate or sell that shit for cheap

Fuck

The power of imagination
>>5366855
I still believe this was a set that was intended as a complete joke by the designers, who then watched in ever-increasing horror as each of the higher-ups, thinking it was some elaborate, hyper-obscure comment on society's materialism, approved it and sent it into production.
>>5366456
>>5366456
But where is this located?
>>5366899
Half of that whole theme is a piss-take; just look at it. If this sort of thing was a statement, then I hope there are some ex-employees sucking brick for crack.
>Go to three different stores tonight looking for the Doctor Who ideas set

Welp, time to just order the bastard online.

>>5366843
Back when I worked at my local Walmart I'd regularly find those blind bags slit open, and the asshole doing it would just leave whatever he didn't take laying on the shelf with the bags crumpled up next to them.
Going be taking the turret top off the First Order battlepack and pop it onto my FO Snowspeeder.
I think it's time to rein it in.
There's other stuff I want at any rate.
>>5367159
Whoa, are they bringing yellow-skins back?
>>5367182
No, saw a review for the Resistance battlepack #75131. The helmets are molded plastic with another molded visor inlayed inside the helmet itself.
>>5367159
When are the Rebel Alliance Battle Packs coming out in America??
Pls respond.
>>5367202
Jan. 1. Some stores have them now.
>>5367205
Do you know which ones would have them first?
>>5367207
Really erratic sightings. Just wait a couple of days and get them on Amazon.
>>5366776
>no FO troopers
2/5 apply yourself.
>>5366456
that all just goes to a landfill somewhere?
cant they atleast reuse the plastic?
or the pieces?
theres profit in there.
>>5367297
pieces, its probably easier to just throw them away. any scratched piece is damaged or fingerprinted or just not up to "lego standard"
the plastic though, i could believe. my best guess is that melting irregular pieces is harder than melting those tiny ass pellets plastic companys use, combine that with the way it would be colored.
rather than hire maybe two dozen people to smash them, they would need to hire people to depackage, open, and possibly sort, or at the least buy machinery to do that
to them, its both easier and cheaper to just throw them away in a controlled manner, then remake new ones
just like all products, theres the cost it takes to make, and what they sell them at. its probably more expensive to "refurbish" a set, than to buy materials to make a brand new one
>>5367310
fuck man, theres gotta be people there who know that they are sitting on a goldmine.
so, could any one of the workers just take any of those for keeps?
>>5367316
There would almost certainly be very strict code about not taking anything if you work there.
I'm sure people do it anyway, but still.
If there are actually damaged pieces and misprints and that sort of thing, Lego would probably want to keep them out of circulation. If they won't go to charity I doubt they'll go to some mexicans with sledgehammers.
>>5367317
so you gotta know a guy who works there, drive around in an unmarked van when your guy clears the place up, haul everything in your van and black market that shit.
>>5367319
If I knew where the place was I'd at least attempt it.
Some post above mentioned that it only happens on one day a year though, which would be crazy.
Frankly, though, if I worked there I'd take sets enough for me, but I wouldn't resell. I'd rather a permanent lifetime supply of Lego than risk losing it to make money.
>>5367316
im sure there is, but honestly an employee who knows how "valuable" lego is, is probably better than one who doesn't, he might actually care sets are being destroyed rather than throwing his 8am beercan in with them.
also its not like he's out there smashing a complete oriental expedition wave, right now he's smashing fucked up nexo knights, elves, and 2015 returns.
im not sure how old everyone is here, but i think we can all agree, a steady paycheck is far more important than trying to pocket bag 4 from wu's dragon and hoping co-workers, cameras, or bosses dont see
>>5367321
if thats just once a year, then it wouldnt be very lucrative to sneak that stuff out.
but if it does happen once a year, i dont see why anyone would get anal about a bunch of "lego that was on its way to a landfill" being sold as "lego that was on its way to a landfill".
>>5367322
cameras in a lego disposal place?
but yeah, id rather keep my paycheck.
i suppose theres a chance to sneak few bags of parts every now and then.
but man, thats a waste of good plastic.
>>5367243
All my FO troopers are inside my Transporter.
>>5366502
If ever a six year-old were to take over the universe his flagship would probably look like this
Damnit, I really want shortened train points of this exact size, but Lego are never going to get off their asses and make anything like this but the idea of taking a hacksaw to any Lego piece makes my skin crawl.
Is there a hi-res image of all the NEXO shields for the app?
>>5366502
This is like a 3D "Where's Waldo?"
Except, instead of searching for Waldo and seeing a bunch of other people doing crazy, silly things, you're trying to see and pick out all the pieces you recognize, and how they're being used.
>>5367182
Why would you ever think that? I mean, yes, the Resistance helmets do make the heads look yellow, but what possible reasoning could be behind a return to yellow heads?
>>5367474
So that everything is the same again?
I mean it was still a dumb question, but come on.
fucking yes, this part
>>5367550
jesus, finally!

My guess is this place is somewhere in Southeast Asia.

>That Monster Fighters Haunted House
>It hurts IT HURTS
I know that feel, anon.
You know, even if it would cost Lego too much to repackage the damaged/returned sets, you would think they could sell the parts in bulk to LUGs at a discount.
>>5367153
The full(?) Doctor Who monster list from Dimensions is as follows.
Autons
Judoon (rhino guy)
the Silent (tally marks)
Clockwork Robots
Sontarans
Zygons
Cybermen
evil Snowmen
Silurians
Ice Warriors
Ood
Weeping Angels
and Daleks, but they have too many pieces for a minifig version
Noob here. I'm thinking about buying a few mixels in order to make super posable humanoids like pic related.
Does anyone have any guides for the skeleton or links to inspirational galleries?
>>5367406
I want to see that movie
