>A bar for your minifigs to drink at for the New Years party.
>Finish that unfinished MOC from 2015!
So I'm debating taking this museum set and turning it into some kind of Star Wars building. Replacing the diamond banners with Imperial insignia, maybe the clock too, and stationing two Stormtroopers outside the entry with another on the roof with a sniper rifle.
The real question: What do I put -inside-?
>>5380300
Why not a lightsaber? It could be a Jedi temple captured by the Empire or First Order.
>>5380300
Gold microscale star destroyer
>>5380311
Hm... I like that idea. A lightsaber, a holocron... Maybe I'll make a custom Inquisitor to put inside, examining the artifacts...
>>5380317
Yes! Be sure to keep us updated, this could turn out to be great. I'm still trying to hunt down a decent structure to act as a derelict building turned fortress.
posted on a really old thread, guess ill post here. Snagged two Galaxy Commanders, Beta 1 Command Base, and a Intergalactic Command Base. Ended up buying them for about 340 added up.
Looking forward to the Galaxy Commanders

Holy shit these are rad
My lego boner is increasing to the point where i may not be able to contain it
>>5380280
better than all girls come hair covered.
Still like the idea of her having the hawaian hair piece.
Does anyone play the Nexo Knights app?
I have about 50+ of the powers scanned, so maybe I can share with you guys.
>>5380338
Not sure sadly, I wish they just did a detailed version of the original black and chrome ones.
>>5380338
Because they lazily used the same paint set that they use for Stormtroopers in white, which includes white paint you don't normally see to function as a base for the other tones, I believe. Which means these Shadow Troopers end up having white blotched on them.
>>5380324
Outside. No replacement emblems or anything yet but I did turn the brick around that says "City Museum" on it at least.
Hey there /LG/
Thought I'd show off my collection and whatnot, feel free to ask questions on the tour.
First off, we have the shitty brick road. A display for fun little events, and a daily reminder that I spent money on the sandman set.
Also hydra vehicles.
Behind it, you can see the Hogwarts express, the hulkbuster, sentinel, rino, and Aquaman's shit shack.
And slightly to the side is the dustcave.
>>5380324
Inside. Using the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels as a stand-in until I make my own. Holocron on the left, blue lightsaber crystal in the middle, lightsaber on the right.
>>5380391
You could add in those mushroom-looking spire things similar to the exterior of the battle of takodana set instead of the lights on the front for a more star-wars-y feel
Next up is Jokerland, land of all things joker.and lex. And a little braniac. And the other half of the dustcave.
>>5380109
This is probably the coolest-looking prison set I've seen, and I'm one to usually avoid City stuff. This and the current police station would be the ultimate assortment of cop stuff for me.
Here's the last of the Marvel DC shit. And vehicle hell. The resting place of vehicles that weren't too cool for school.
>>5380395
Hrm. If I can find the pieces I might do that. For now I've removed the spotlights and managed to gather together some appropriate looking external decor.
>>5380428
Where did you get all those new stormies with legprints
>>5380428
This is shaping up well! I don't know how hard it'd be, but some sort of blast doors rather than the glass ones? Sliding ones perhaps.
Who decides the challenges and winner of said challenges? Does the winner get anything and who decides said winner?
>>5380438
Rebels Stormtroopers, from the battle pack. You can't see them in that shot but inches to the left are another... *Counts* Nine of them.
>>5380443
Hm, blast doors might be tough. But you're right, the glass and the door aren't very Star Wars. Are there any real doors in Star Wars or are they all automatic? I can't remember ever seeing anyone open a door.
>>5380445
>Who decides the challenges and winner of said challenges? Does the winner get anything and who decides said winner?
This month was a little weird. Normally everyone makes suggestions over the course of 2-3 threads and someone compiles them all, then they all get put in a poll and the top 4 get listed in the OP for the next month.
There's no prize except now you have a cool Lego thing.
>>5380428
If I were you I'd replace those beige parts with white. Empire architecture tends to go for stark white, slate grey, and black.
>>5380451
Didn't notice the weird face/torso print from that angle fuck.
>Ninjago's sky pirates consist of a Genie, a Snake with a pegleg, an Oni, a Witch and a fish in a mech suit
>>5380464
If they're not mixed with other troopers, it doesn't really stand out. The design bothers me exactly zero, so I bought a couple battle packs to have a decent sized army. I'd like to get two more if I can so that I'll have a nice round 20 of them.
>>5380451
I don't think so. If you're feeling ambitious you could make a basement for it, and a door that slides down, though it'd be difficult, but cool.
First for licensed lego a shit
>>5380475
second for cops and robbers for the 50th year in a row!
>>5380476
Seriously Lego stop calling it City it's clearly "Emergency Response" at this point.
We need less cops and more medical/city homes and businesses.
>>5380485
Back when I worked at Walmart I'd always see the new City sets and wonder why this particular town had so many accidents and apparently such a horrible crime rate.
>>5380468
What are you trying to say here?
OP Image source?
The bots that come with Clay's Rumble Blade should have lances, not just swords.
Quickly made custom inquisitor. Debating possibly giving him hair. Can't find my bag-oh-parts for minifigs right now though, fucking hell.
Also, do you think the sniper should remain a standard trooper, or is this a good use for the Shadow Trooper?
Or should all the troopers here be Shadow Troopers, accompanying their commanding Inquisitor?
I made a race car. This will probably be my last one for a while. My main inspiration is the Nissan Skyline RS Turbo Group 5 race cars from the 80s. What do you guys think of it?
Back view.
>>5380627
Really looks pleasant but simple at the same time. Nice job.
And a view of the side.

Yes I'm mad that some richfag anon shoes his collection in my face and expects praise.
Good for you, you have money.
>>5380588
Like another anon said before, the windows really need to go, at the front ones - the top ones could pass for sci fi-y.
I'd also add some vegetation to the building and surrounding, to give it a bit more of an ancient temple kind of feeling.
>>5380652
JUdging by his camera that money statement is debateable.
>>5380658
I'm waiting for some troopers and some parts before I do it, but I'm actually building up to make my own little urban battle - I think this might be the former Jedi Temple on that world, and the Inquisitor is there to collect artifacts and quash the local rebellion forces.
>Image: Guarding the Temple.
>>5380652
Sorry that I have a job, anon.
>>5380663
I couldn't be bothered to crack out the old camera.
Shitty tablet camera worked for the occasion.
While I'm here, let's talk minifigs. My collection has grown since the last time I posted, are there any marvel/DC figures you guys are after? I had a few happy anons last time I posted this.

Seriously, though. Less shitposting, more Lego posting.
I'm having so much goddamned fun with the nexo knight stuff. I can't get enough of it. I got jestro's fun wagon and I'm having a blast playing with it with my kid.
>>5380732
Oh god. I'm so glad I'm an adult and can do what I want with my money. Where are you getting this info?
>>5380747
>Having kids who enjoy legos
I envy you.
>>5380732
Man I don't remember Ninjago or Chima getting this many sets so fast. They're really expecting Nexo Knights to be a big thing!
Should I keep the hair or go back to bald?
>>5380774
It seems like it's kinda working already.
>>5380803
bald ayylien is overdone, keep the hair
>>5380774
unlike Chima and Ninjago they actually gave a rats ass about both the protagonists and antagonists this time
Anyone have this set? Amazon has it for a bit over $150 and I'm thinking of buying it when I get my next paycheck.
>>5380774
After one success and one failure I guess TLG figured out the formula.
>>5380813
I think that is still way overpriced. Nothing in this set has got any kind of substance to it. Boring vehicles, the shops look like cardboard cut outs.
Only the tram is somewhat cool.
>>5380813
>Futuron in window doesn't match actual Futuron printing
So, I went to the fleamarket a few days ago and got 4 baggies of assorted used pieces, almost 2 kilos of random lego for really cheap. (about 12-13$ usd for all). It went pretty well because almost everything was in decent shape, just a couple megablocks and minor things. Got plenty of bricks and plates. Sorting was really fun. It came with a few cool items such as minifig parts, some weapons and clear bricks. Don't you guys love when you get a cheap bulk?
>>5380831

>>5380834
Couldn't resist to make a ship, this is actually my very fist one of this type, I tried to get the look of Classic Space but don't have trans yellow pieces. Here's a couple views from it.
>>5380834
Yes. One time though... One time...
I bought 4 small, clear, plastic storage bins of lego. Poked around in three of them. Lots of neat pieces, looked good, totally worth the $$ they were asking for it.
Didn't open the 4th one before I bought it.
It stank like someone shat in the box. I wish I was exaggerating.
I donated that one to a church down the street.
>>5380865
There's some room in the back of the ship so a passenger barely fits on in, the cover is removable. Here's a view from below too.
Sadly, an actual minifigure does not fit in the cockpit (for now),but this little fella would do the job for now. I could fix the space issue later. Any suggestions?
>>5380416
The steam roller is suprisingly good.
>>5380717
How's this faam?
>>5380813
I just want the Lego branded stuff. It seems like a set of additions for a Lego city you might already have.
Building little dioramas is getting more and more fun, I love it.
Posted this in last thread. Rumble Blade with Nexo Ash.
>>5380917
Eurobricks is a decent LEGO forum that is great due to people with inside information/people who find listings online for upcoming sets.
They have a thread for every theme and license, with an entire forum for Star Wars.

Go to a restaurant. Eat free bread and drink free water while you look at the menu. Get fed up with your imaginary friend never showing up and leave.

How autistic would it be to buy this and never open it? I'm making a Rey shrine of unopened figures (I'm buying doubles of her), but in this case the box actually looks better than the actual lego. Thoughts?
>>5380962

>>5380967
>unopened figures
Unopened toys in general, sorry.
>Flametroopers are only in a $90 set
>>5380981
They're not that great in my opinion.
I got a lego 10000 in a black and white box today. The seals are broken but all the contents are still in their unopened polybags. Found it for $50 and couldn't pass it up.
I'm debating whether or not to open it. It's been sealed for so long it almost seems like a shame. Thoughts?
>>5380984
they look great, are you high?
>>5380996
The helmet shape bugs me the most more than anything, don't hate them but I don't exactly like them that much.
>>5380967
Why specifically a display featuring Rey?
>>5381000
i like how all the first order stormies have different helms, as opposed to "lol paint it black"
>>5380991
Open it and post pics. It's a shame that it has been left sealed for so long.
>>5380492
Because it's not Lego suburbs.
>>5380550
Lance's bots come with lances. Clay's come with claymores. It's a theme thing.
>>5380981
We'll have a Starkiller Battle Pack by the end of 2016. 2 Snow and 2 Flame, or 3 Snow and 1 Flame.
>>5381052
Yeah but have you seen those sets? The population of Lego City must be like 50% public service officials like police and firemen, 48% criminals, and maybe 2% regular citizens and shopkeeps.
>>5381061
You mean your population isn't?
Anyone here have that sandcrawler? Looks like a cool centerpiece for a collection
>>5381007
Man, it's always bugged me that the Empire had a whole class of troopers with their own name that's really just the regular Stormie with a pauldron.
>>5381061
>The population of Lego City must be like 50% public service officials like police and firemen, 48% criminals, and maybe 2% regular citizens and shopkeeps.
Copenhagen really went downhill.
>>5381061
It's more likely to be 20% police officer, 20% fire fighters, 10% public works, 20% criminals, 15% civilians and shop owners, 5% burn victims, and 10% dockworkers/train workers.

seriously what went wrong? the old castle sets were badass. 6090 and 6086 were GOAT tier. being a castle fan is suffering, the 2000 castle was shit and every single castle after that was the same shit just with different knights
>>5380702
Yay trains.
>>5381187
I'm really sad Lego doesn't give us baseplates with anything anymore.
>>5381190
Yeah some of the baseplate castles are pretty cool. I know some people don't like them and there are definitely some sets that did baseplates wrong (6091 comes to mind) but if used correctly they're a good way to add height
>>5381183
Does it.. does it work?
>>5380967
No pits no sale
>Just finished pic related
This thing is badass for what it is.
Nexo Knights is autism mode for 10yr olds complete with bullshit mobile game
>>5381190
No many people know this but Lego don't produce baseplates by themselves. It's a diferent company. That's why they are so expensive, and that's why they cut them from normal sets.
>any set with a lot of large pieces insultingly called Juniors-esque or playmobil because LEGO fans want everything brick-built

convince me not to
Okay I reworked the Jedi Temple entrance to be a more Star Wars-y sort of blast door style. I had to tear apart Mos Eisley Cantina to do it so if any drunks show up don't open the door.
Aaand open.
>>5381230
It's a great set IMO. People who hate LEGO Minecraft are just edgy teenagers who think Minecraft is for little kids
Open, interior.
>>5381204
There's one that works, which is the Piranha power up. But I think these two are too blurry, and when I try to scan the forgeries I made, I get nothing, not even an error message or "YOU ALMOST GOT THE POWER". So it's either my positioning is wrong, or these codes were decoys and shit.
>>5381238
>tfw i bought minecraft back in alpha and played it with /v/ back when it was still not a big thing
>now if i play it people call it a kids game
welp
Closed, interior.
Let me know what you guys think!
>>5381242
I hear you, man. I bought it pre-Alpha and looking at the attitudes around it today I'm glad I got my enjoyment out of it when I did.
>>5381230
It comes with plenty of useful landscaping pieces, a handful of the good 2x2 jumper tile, as well as a few parts in the rather rare Medium Flesh color.
It's a decent set on its own, being a cozy little fully-enclosed minifig-scale home that is designed with modularity in mind. Fits in nicely with medieval collections, or with any of the outdoorsy City/Creator sets.
The head pieces are designed to be "in System" - meaning that their measurements work well with certain legal part connections.
Did I convince you yet?
>>5381241
Will these two work, anon? I resized some older /lg/ pictures hoping for the day Merlok 2.0 becomes compatible with any of my devices.
Also what's the name of that piranha one

>>5381241
Are you the anon who offered to share their 51 powers?
>>5381268
How long until there's a Nexowiki with a power database?
>>5381272
I kinda hope no one makes one. Or at least, the powers displayed would only be the useless LEGO Shop images.
Part of the fun is in the hunt.
>>5381274
Last I checked, you can get 7171 Mos Espa Podrace on Bricklink for less than the original retail.
>>5381275
Are the powers included random or something?
>>5381001
Because she was the best part of the movie for me and Daisy is adorable
>>5381278
They're not random; the ones you see on a set's box will be the ones it comes with.
As well, each power only has one QR code, so if someone were to put all existing powers into a single public database, the fun would be ruined.
>>5381244
I like it anon
>>5381059
More like 1 snowtrooper, 1 special snowflake snowtrooper with technicolor armor, a FO officer with an ugly hat and a janitor trooper

superhero sets are bad investments. People only want the minifigs and the prices for those are undercut because the chinese bootlegs are pretty good.
To be fair to the people you talked to, this was less obvious four years ago.
>>5381197

>>5381298
Which sets besides the gigantic star wars ship models are good investments? I know the millennium falcon and the star destroyer/executor tripled in price
>>5381299
This is my favorite series. FUCKKKKKK.
>>5381294
Everyone hates scalpers.
>>5381294
I sold the hulk figure alone for like 40 bucks. Its a timing thing. I sold it before the new one came out. If you're buying something as an investment research your investment. You didnt keep track of the market, its your own damn fault, you could have profited.
>>5381301
Most exclusives are good buys. Licensed LEGO ideas sets(buy a couple Ecto-1s while you can).
>>5381310
>new one
well i think i originally got the set at kmart for 40 bucks so maybe I can sell it on ebay for 75 and just get it out of my hair

>>5381320
>action figures are blank
Confirmed trash.
Every time I see a really fucking cool spaceship design, I always wish people would release build instructions to go along with them.
It'd be a really great way to introduce people like me who can't build a decent spaceship if my life depended on it, to really clever, out-of-left-field construction ideas.
>>5381320
okay Lego never stops to amaze me. Picrelated is such a simple thing that i can build yet i never thought of using these 2 parts like these to decorate my blocks.
So doing this.
>>5381320
>not wanting a bernie minifig
>>5381327
I like your idea. This bank fits to those "Antiutopia structures" like from movies about nazies or Equilibrium.
Probably will get it too to transform into some sort of industrial Bureau

Bazinga! :^)
>>5381350
look up Nick Trotta on YouTube and Flickr, bro. the dude is fucking nuts
>>5381350
When I first started out building military MOCs I thought the same thing, but in the absence of instructions I actually found it more satisfying figuring out things on my own.
(Of course, I understand that that doesn't apply to everyone; just wanted to share my experience with the whole 'providing instructions' thing.)

Love the minifig - what chest piece is that?
Anyway, this is my very simple version, it's mostly Tremor - who's head I would recommend for your needs.
>>5381381
To be fair that was used by alien space bugs from space
On a side note, i miss those guys
>>5380967
It does sound pretty autistic, yes, but if you like the box better than the figure, just buy it, carefully open it and either use the parts or sell it and keep the resealed box in your display. No one will know it's empty.
>>5380991
Open it! I regret not knowing until years later that they re-released this set because it was during my dark age.
>>5381230
What are you going to do with the ugly Minecraft faces?
>>5381299
I really hope Chima comes back in a year or two and they do the sea creatures/dragons or whatever with more tropical areas like in the first wave.
Would working in a lego store be worthwhile?
>>5381456
>I really hope Chima comes back in a year or two
um..did that ever happened to any specific theme? i never seen any of them coming back.
I love chima for battlebeasts theme but i dont see how it can be brought back. It already ended i think. Just like Galaxy Squad, Space Police, Aquazone and many others.
>>5381465
Blacktron I, Blacktron II. Space Police I, Space Police II, Space Police III.
>>5381456
>>5381465
The only times themes had been brought back in the past couple of years are:
>Space Police III, resurrected after 16 years
>BIONICLE G2, brought back after 5 years
>Ninjago 2014 (?), they had planned the line to end in the first half of 2013, but changed their mind in time for the next year of release

can you post a closeup of that little engine block in the upper left corner?
>>5381471
oh i didn't know about Ninjago having a break.
Same about Blacktron and SP. I thought those were just going on and on.
PS:
Reading Jestro's info, it seems like he's not even the main villain. It's the book.
Jestro is just a clown that wasn't funny enough yet people laughed at him while he didn't liked that. He basically a tool in Evil Book's hands.
I can't wait to get him.
Got a gift card 4 Christmas and I'm torn between changing seasons and jestros wagon. Don't have any nexo knights yet but I do like the theme. Thoughts?
>>5381500
Just like Garmaddon and Makuta. He better go hero and be a comic relief character later on.
>>5381507
>jestros wagon
its out already? i thought it will be during summer...fuck it hurts to have No Klocki.
im curious if anyone else does this, theres obviously no way im the only one
does anyone try to incorporate as many of the extra pieces into their sets as possible, and/or slightly change their sets to make them "look better" to you?
i just picked up some mixels, and a few polybags, and realized i did it for all 4 of them without thinking twice
my rule usually is that if a part isn't used, it goes in an extras bag, and that bag can be used on any set if i need it. usually its grabbing a few studs or 1x1's and using them as filler/hiding them so i can steal a plate to put somewhere else on the build
for the mixels its usually small and just using whats extra. Forx's combover changed directions, and i gave him a tongue in his bucket, and Kram moved all his red trans pieces to his knuckles on his hand
But i realized while building the cowler dragon, that it looked retarded without legs. so i had to make its body bigger to accommodate leg height, and just gave it eyes for shits and giggles (mixel eyes fix everything) Poe's ship polybag, i flipped parts on the engine and wings around backwards, and made the cockpit bigger, and with the extra, made a little stand so it can stay in attack position
i can see three other sets alone on my desk this happened with, and others i probably cant remember on my shelf
tl:dr how many of you go off of instructions while building sets, because you think you can make it better
>>5381516
and i made a little picture so people didn't have to look up what shit looks like in my retarded blogpost, but forgot to attach it like the tool i am
(also the guy whos picture of poe's ship i used, built it wrong)
Before christmas I read some stuff here about "bricks and pieces" as an alternative to pick-a-brick. Anyone able to fill me in on what that is?
>>5381507
nexo knights is definitely pretty impressive, but if you're on a budget (and who the fuck isn't with legos) id go for the seasons
jestros wagon makes one wagon, the house makes three houses
>>5381516
>my rule usually is that if a part isn't used, it goes in an extras bag, and that bag can be used on any set if i need it.
i do this all the time. Unfilled parts sicken me.
>>5381500
Have you seen the premiere yet? It's not that bad.

Does the Nexo Knights Armor fit a Stormtrooper helmet?
>>5381516
I do it with basically every set. Mostly just to make Star Wars sets more screen-accurate but City cars also aren´t always 100% well thought out.
I also like to change pieces in the inner workings of each set. The UCS Slave One has so many wine-red pieces hidden, I just changed them all out with whatever I had the most of. A 1x2 brick becomes a 1x2 wine red plate with 4 1x1 studs in trans-red. It´s tme-consuming but you have much more and better pieces free to use then. The Modular detectives office uses 17 1x1 studs with holes, I changed them all out for normal ones.
>>5381521
It´s in the customer service of lego.com. A few steps below the route for ordering missing pieces from new sets. Brick cost roughly the same as the average on Bricklink, sometimes more, sometimes less. Before christmas they had a bunch of licensed pieces available. People say the parts may disappear or change, it´s apparently very random what they sell and what not. Spider-Mans legs with boots for 2€, entire Hawkman figure without wings, the helmet of the UCS TIE Pilot but not the rest of any TIE Pilot body. Lego removed the option temporarily because the replacement parts program has too many claims after christmas. Some people say it´s back up in 10 days, others say mid February, they don´t have a fixed date.
I ordered licensed parts worth 70€ while it was still open. I hope they don´t restrict it too much with licensed parts when it comes back. Tydirium Shuttle Endor Rebel pants and the olive green torso for 73 cents each was my favorite find, got 13 pants and 7 jackets. Sadly no dark tan vests though. The helmet on the other hand was a rip-off, 2,71€ for a single one. I will just buy some old ones on Bricklink for under 1€ each and paint them dark green or something.
But even without licensed parts the service is quite useful. Theoratically every part of every unlicensed set is available. So if you only want the trans green armor of that 10€ Ultimate Nexo Knight you don´t have to pay 10€ for the full set but only 1€ or whatever the price will be.
Shipping is always 1,80€, the free shipping with 75$ doesn´t apply. You can make it apply by ordering something from the normal legoshop.com though like a Pick a Brick piece for 8 cents or a CMF.
There are also problems with checking out when you want to order more than 35 different lots of pieces, your whole basket may just disappear and you have to search for everything again. Alternatively you can phone customer service.

Oh thanks let's s...Oh...

There are browser add-ons for that. I use Proxtube on Firefox.

It's real simple. Came with a City cargo truck.
>>5381581
aww shit i dont have the parts for that.
so obviously this guy is the main character and i'll want to get his shit the most
(even if heli-flight is dumb when compared to wings, jetpacks, or just levitation)
but it seems like the only way to get that half transorange sword is in that giant fortress set
i ain't spending $100 on one lego set
and i don't think i have the patience to build something that big
any other set i can get that sword in?
>>5381586
I think it comes in his tank thing as well, which I have heard is a pretty solid set.
>>5381571
I will never get over how much lego cucks their own country.
So the first 2 episodes of the Ninjago skybound season have been uploaded on this guys channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnNcIBvFoGji8Yk5PppRNAQ?app=desktop
Nadahkan seems pretty cool, kinda makes me want to get Misfortunes Keep even more.
>>5381595
They're likely on other sites as well, a good thing.
What's this? A car with room for 4 minifigures?
How is such a thing possible?
>>5381586
>but it seems like the only way to get that half transorange sword is in that giant fortress set
>i ain't spending $100 on one lego set
OK
What you do is
Still with me?
Go to Bricklink
Order that piece by itself
Get raped on price but feel good because you didn't have to spend $100 to get one piece
>>5381620
Comes with a caravan to fulfill all your generic Lego City citizen needs, such as coffee mugs.
>>5381623
It might be a little tight fit, hair might have to be removed and it's pretty poor structurally (???), but it works, kinda.
>>5381620
aight nice
>>5381548
Sounds really useful. Thanks, anon.
>>5381294
I'd buy that shit.
>>5381095
Don't forget the backpacks
>>5381507
Creator sets are boring a fuck, plus this version of Jestro is the only set it'll be in, Summer Jestro is black and red with a more evil look
>>5381432
that art is perfect
this is exactly what I thought they'd look like
>>5381644
>Creator sets are boring a fuck
>Not buying the ~£10 sounds with a shitton of mixel joints
Does anyone agree with me that if you place as many bricks as possible with the Lego words all pointing the same direction that the build will be much stronger because of the power of universe and autism?
>>5381652
I wish that was true/possible for most builds but sadly it isn't anon.
>>5381620
>>5381623
>>5381628
Maximum comfy. Where are they going? Camping in the Forest of Obsolete Products perhaps? A beach trip to Pirate's Cove?
>>5381655
>Mfw my girl friend asked me if I do that.
Thanks senpai! Now I do... the power of lego autism.
>>5378739
Thanks for posting this. I'm making a trotmobile and I stole its legs.
>>5381276
>mfw I got the last one
Actually, no, you're right. MSRP was $90, and there are still some for less. It's odd. Most of the minifigs were in, like, 4 other sets, but Gasgano and Sebulba were unique.
>>5381317
>either way i'm done investing in lego
You bought how many of that set? How many other sets have you bought? If you bought up 10+ of that set for 40 and sell them for 75 that's still 350 bucks profit. Are you moving other sets?
Or..... did you just buy 1 set thinking it would be worth more than double it's value one day? Cause if so, the problem isn't lego, it's you.
>>5381644
If the show is any indication, Jestro's corruption is an ongoing thing. He was a reluctant villain in the beginning and as the story goes on he will be getting darker and darker.
>>5381652
Ain't nobody got time for that shit.
>>5381690
I hope so. Maybe he sacrifices himself to go inside the book or something at the end or something, who knows
>tfw I've gotten "in and out" of LEGO probably 3 times in the last 5 years or so.
>Always held a few sets I really liked back.
>Last time I "got out" of LEGO was about 8 months ago.

Yeah. Fuck everything.
>>5381650
then just buy Mixels
not my photo but holy fuck
New star wars polybags. Get fucking hype. (Shuttle still kinda sucks, but dat star destroyer tho)
>>5381722
>>5381717
>Firehouse AND Temple
>>5381230
Do it it's great.
>>5381327
Looking great!
Love all the Stormies. Been wanting some for awhile.
My local department store is doing a Lego sale in just under two days and they're also launching the Boba Fett disney infinity figure on the same day.
PLUS I have a gift card for the store.
I haven't felt this excited since I was a kid.
>>5381726
Are the wings fixed, or has no one from TLG seen the movie still?
>>5381722
Why is the 2nd Death Star: Palpatine's Boogaloo on the bag instead of Starkiller Base?
>>5381726
>>5381758
Looks like they're still using the design from the bigger set. Maybe the film isn't out in Denmark yet.
On another note: I just finished my degree, and suddenly my university is offering a masters program that is apparently run by 'people who worked at Disney and Lego'
Should I throw away two years of my life in an effort to show my MOCs to vaguely important people?
>>5381750
>tfw ordered the 2006-2007 Y-Wing, TIE Interceptor and Slave 1 from Bricklink and can't wait
I'm really fucking bad at waiting.
Really, really bad.
>sudden urge to make a huge battery of all my spring-loaded shooters
Stop me
i'll be honest, nexo knights would be a great show if it wasnt a lego show
my display stands arrived today and i couldn't be happier.
don't worry though guys, i collect star wars ships as is but everything else i do is MOC
