1st for we need Warcraft lego get your act together blizzard
Working on the pearl and I am trying to find a fig that would work well at the front of the ship. Now it is more of a sand green colour but I am thinking the weeping Angle from the lego ideas tardis set would work well does that sound like a solid plan or should I scrap it.
Reposting my current display since it's been like ten threads since
>>5564489
You got Chima and you will like it.
We almost got those, but Blizzard wanted heavily specialised figs and Lego said nope. Then they asked Mega blocks
>>5564486
Fuck, I just realized I accidentally kept the "big, beautiful wall" challenge. Bummer.

I'll let you off for having the Silver Centurion Iron Man.
>>5564490
Did a quick test and I think it will look even better IRL may have to paint the seagull.
>>5564497
Which is funny since all player character figures there ended up having the same body ultimately.
>>5564513
CP-B8
>>5564513
It's the TFA C3-P0 with his MGSV red arm or w/e
>>5564516
There's a movie Spider-Man from when I was a kid at the edge of the screen. Mile's costume is cool but he's sort of a placeholder until I get more Spider-Man stuff. The "Marvel case" is mostly Iron Man so I put the newest / nicest stuff on the top row that I like. I'm probably going to go for Iron Spider and the new Spiderverse guys from that bridge set coming out later this year, plus the MCU Spider-Man from the final Civil War set (if they include him)
>bricklink's face when I'm hunting for a complete adventurer's achu minifigure
>>5564493
I feel so angry that I was uninspired back then to collect all the Iron Man armors. Now the some of them are nearing the $25 price tag per armor.
JUST.
>tfw sorting through all my old bricks while marathoning through shows
>all for the sole purpose of finding and gathering all the parts for the UCS Falcon I got as a gift from my grandparents one year
I don't think it was one of the first editions, but I still have the manual lying around which'll probably bring the price up to around $1k-$1,500 on ebay
Is there a list of dual-molded arms and legs anywhere?
>>5564618

Nah, it's cool. Hope you find everything.

Younger me was an idiot savage.
So I did buy this set and I'm currently building it. Only detail I noticed is that the wheels feel a bit sticky to touch. Is this something I should worry about? I don't notice any signs of wear in the surface.
>>5564630
If they were still alive I think my grandparents would be happy that I could flip a plastic toy for 2-3 times the original price. Heck after doing research I could flip the radar dish piece by itself for like $200. The lattice pieces used for the back are worth quite a bit too.
I'm not looking forward to putting the thing together though. I remember the last time I made the thing it took like 4 straight days to make
>>5564681
>Buying a set from the literal worst era for town lego
I mean look at these piece/price ratios
>>5564681
if you're building it straight new from box, the wheels are fine. It's just a new rubber = sorta sticky thing going on. I remember building that set
>>5564681
>Only detail I noticed is that the wheels feel a bit sticky to touch. Is this something I should worry about?
It happened to my rubber tires too, not sure what the explanation is for it. But i will recommend you store your rubber tires detached from their rims. My old 90s wheels are now almost impossible to remove from their rims now.
Rubber breaks down over time. If you left a car with the tires on they'd rot away before anything else.
Can't reverse it permanently. Better to replace it with new wheels.
>>5564710
this makes me sad
>>5564700
but the baseplates
>>5564513
C3-PO. You probably don't recognize him because of his red arm.
>>5564497
wait is tht actually true?
was lego in talks for the license?
>>5564731
Yes. Warcraft's devs fucked it up because they wanted every character to have unique bodies beyond prints i.e. expensive and unnecessary shit
>>5564736
link info please
>>5564736
Nobody in development would've been even remotely in the loop. Ultimately it would probably be up to some kind of task force of suits at Activision.
Just bought fake Chinese Star Wars Final Duel for 21 Britcoins.
How should I feel, mildly pleased, or disgusted and ashamed?
>>5564796
>mildly pleased, or disgusted and ashamed?
yes. possibly aroused
bricklink seller: we ship fast!
translation: we pack and mark it shipped fast then rub our asses on it for a week before actually giving it to the post office
I need more speeder bike parts godfuckingdamnitshit
Four BL orders arrived today. Seven more to go. One the the dark blue headlight bricks I received looks like it was chewed on. I know it said used, but come on.
>>5564831
>Four BL orders arrived today. Seven more to go.
How many pieces and what the fuck are you building?
>>5564831
If it's deep enough maybe you could replace it with a similarly colored brick deep inside of her body.
>>5564851
Looks like he's the guy who was doing that beetle girl.
>>5564704
>>5564707
Yes, found this one with sealed bags and complete. I don't mind if they do end up attached to the rims as I have other wheels that I can reuse for other stuff.
>>5564700
I noticed that this set in particular uses a bit too much specialized parts (funny how people tend to complain about that on recent sets only) but there are some others that can be particularly useful for the price I got this set.
I'm not entirely sure I will keep the build as it is. 4-stud width for big vehicles is not exactly my cup of tea.
>>5564851
1039 pcs. I had most of them.
GUYS HOLY LAVA FUCK
I NEED THEM
>>5564681
I had the idea that the rubber wheels from the first half of the zeroes was also sticky.
It was probably common.

Those'll be $10-$12 each, tops.
>>5564609
Yeah I actually did have to shell out about $25 for Iron Patriot, and I'm glad I was able to get Silver Centurion for "free" by pre-ordering the game and returning it. Made me feel a bit bad, but I honestly don't like LEGO games enough to pay upwards of $60.
Polandbro! I got them! :D So excited, thanks so much!

This is $14.99.

Had to make a new Avengers Logo as the sticker one was too small for my tower now !
Anybody got ideas for what I could put on each floor.
Atm my floors from bottom to top are Lobby (reception area with fishtank, Lounge with weapon racks and couches n shit,Starks Bedroom, Medbay/lab, Armour launch room, EMPTY(currently boxes), Armour Gantry/landing pad, Party Room.

>>5565067
Trophy room? Loki's Scepter, Ultron head, old school Cap shield, rock guitar, arc reactor in glass box, Mandrin ring...
>>5564930
I'm loving that weapon selection for lava monsters, although I wish it came with an additional tonfa or a small dagger since tonfa is a dual wield weapon, and a shield to go with the flail.
>>5565057
Just noticed, the Queen is mostly red and has hearts and diamonds as the trim for the bottom of her dress.
I hope we get an evil Black Queen with spades and clubs, as well as a companion Black King.

Also, do they want to see pictures of me dressed as Wyldstyle?
>>5565084
May have to go with that, Currently its just a junk room!
>>5565152
Unless your position requires you to build things, just act like you're nostalgic for Lego. For the love of God, don't let them know you're an autistic neckbeard that actually collects modern sets.

LEGO's own battle packs have always been $15. The last castle battle pack which just had four generic soldiers (and there was another one with four generic bad guy soldiers) were also $15.
Funny thing is, LEGO's own battle packs are always $14.99 and just come with four figures and a few accessories, while the SW battle packs are always $12.99, and come with an 80~100 piece build as well.
>>5565035
>You'll be spending around $300
Yes? And?
>>5565152
Basically just exude enthusiasm for LEGO, but not Neckbeard-iness. When someone asks you what to buy their nephew, know your product ranges and age-ranges. Don't seem like someone who's in it for the small staff-discount.
LEGO stores look for clear communicators. especially to kids.
Also their's a great chance that they'll get you to build something and pitch it to them, make it fun and full of features, capture a childish imagination. Not a high-detail scale model of a corvette.
>>5565208
>I'm a dude
Who cares?
>>5565208
>surely they'd want somebody familiar with all of the inventory?
Nope. You always get informed of stock, told what the most popular lines are, what you should recommend to different age groups, how you should answer brand-specific questions, etc. via both your manager and the bible you'll be required to read through. You only need to like Lego, not know everything about it.
Managers don't want creeps that scare away potential customers, they want normal people who liked Lego as kids and thought working at TLG would be fun because it makes you feel nostalgic. Same reason why you don't see people who actually know shit about video games working at Gamestop.

You might have better luck asking her out in person rather than on a 4chan board she may or may not frequent.

Don't store employees get like 50% off?
I've never gotten more than 10% or a free meal per shift anywhere I've worked.
>>5565217
>Same reason why you don't see people who actually know shit about video games working at Gamestop.
Actually a big reason for this is that GameStop centers a LOT of its marketing on in-store product promotion, so if you're the kind of guy who gives a shit about games at all they know you'll tell people NOT to buy certain products and then they don't want you.
I've had GameStop employees flat out lie to me about vidya before because they just want to upsell.
It would break my heart if TLS was the same way

I just watched Avengers for the first time on Friday, and I thought that scene was hilarious.
Then again, I also thought the scene of LOKI OF ASGARD RIDING IN THE BACK OF A PICK-UP TRUCK was hilarious.
>>5565536
That film is great, >>5565533 is just a mister grumpy pants.
>>5565287
These spring-loaded canons were the coolest action feature lego ever made.
>>5565270
damn every time i see vehicles i feel like this series gonna end faster then Lego Chima.
People dont like series of NOTHING but vehicles.
Its a good fucking damn Castle Series only with technofantasy attached to it.
1) you can make a MiniCastle that transforms into a robot
2) you can make a monster-beast for Lava guys. Some sort of Dino Riders thing - only with monster with guns attached to it
3) You can make smaller robo-knights to fight on the side of that King's Mech.
4) You can make just "Castle Buildings" things only smaller than castle - for guys to hang out at those outposts/camps. With videogames and crossbows. Same for lava guys.
YET THEY KEEP DOING BORING BLUE VEHICLES! STOP! THIS SERIES HAS SUCH A POTENTIAL!
>>5565270
so wait does it shoot Arron's little capsule and the missiles?
It lacks the hueg missile from the Fortrex one so it's still kind of a let-down.
why is this dude so expensive, jesus christ
>>5565268
>I've heard that they ask you to build something from a handful of Lego pieces, so be prepared for that.

But it really felt like a way to finish a conflict quickly and uninterestingly, I wanted to see Loki take on all the Avengers at the same time (because he absolutely could) but nope, thrown away that chance for a joke.

>>5565571
>>5565575
I bricklinked this guy and apparently he came from a set that was actually released. It's based on that scene where spiderman chases down crooks in his first costume from a origin story or some shit
but yeah, he came from exactly one set, and whether its the fault of the scalpers or there are actual demands for it, the lowest he's been selling for is ~$40usd

Ok not basic but still. Seeing what people come up with in this thread...it's just creativity. It's their job and they do it well. When you build one moc after another and do it for fun and for job it becomes easy for you to come up with ideas.
The Capes thread died but I wanted to show you guys the museum dioramas I made for it.
From the dawn of time, there's this giant mollusk type thing that once roamed the Presystem oceans. It's very imposing to minifigs.
When I was a little kid, I saw a giant mollusk shell of some kind that was big enough for me to easily fit inside and it blew my mind and got me interested in early sea life, so this was a lot of fun to build.
>>5565655
Jesus christ it looks like he tried to make a use for everything he had.
>>5565655
bricklink list for this? maybe an LDD draft?
I didn't know how much usage this set was going to get so I put a fair amount of detail (for me, anyway) into making it look like a realistic museum. The most prominent aspect is the intrusive air vents that break the immersion the exhibit is trying to create.
>>5565662
Go on Bricklink. Order -everything-. Put it all together.
>>5565661
>Jesus christ it looks like he tried to make a use for everything he had.
It reminded me how i stored lego when i was a kid.
I just was building random stuff using EVERYTHING i had. And then putting it on a shelf.
It often was some sort of space robot that looked like shit.
>>5565667
>ordering everything on bricklink
Hey man you just scared my wallet. Now I'm going to have to go find it.
>>5565655
Can we post more uncomfortably large builds?
>>5565673
>minifig scale warship
Dear shit, that's amazing.
Forgot to mention it in the thread yesterday, but this is another Easter egg. Crocovores and their various subspecies are a recurring monster in Lego Quest. Now that I finally have some green jumper plates, I can make one with a nice looking sail base.
I wasn't going to shoot above minifig level very much, so I didn't bother filling in the holes at the top of the wall. The crocovore's sunning rock is just a regular little rock piece turned on its side. I think it looks really nice and it fits the crocovore perfectly.
Rock just pops off
Now we come to the EARLY MINIFIG exhibit. I used the fuzzy Detective's Office heads to make them look a little less alive.
>>5565683
Good use of BURP.
I don't have the CMF Caveman, but I made this out of the S15 Satyr's torso and a loincloth from something else.
Lady is obviously the CMF Cavewoman, no doubt engaged in some kind of caveperson activity. Some fake fire, and of course, more intrusive air vents.
>>5565679
Noob question; what is Lego Quest?
You can't see it from most angles, but there's a power outlet near the edge of the Early Minifig diorama for when the janitor needs to vacuum.
>>5565678
But dies it float? Let's try it!
>>5565689
loincloth is from not tarzan cmf that came with the monkey

Finally!
Do all of them come with minifigs or is it a preorder/buy the more expensive edition to get it thing?
Made a King for a small medieval army.
1) bought a comfy box with transparent wall so it fits for minifigure storage so well - you can see everybody (that blue thing at the background) inside
2) Built this car for skeleton wannabe. Based around that big engine so it can run super fast.

>>5566145
Oh, man. My bad! Didn't know it was considered a Bionicle.
Well, I'll post my second purchase since I just finished building it!
Way more complex than the Grievous, but a lot smaller. (Smaller than an average Master Grade.)
Still, what a fun build! Hope LEGO releases more stuff like this in the future.

I don't know if I'll be able to do something for the challenge, or if it'll even be good, but god damn I want to try.
>>5566443
Friendly reminder that if you don't have a vehicle that forms the head, you might as well kill yourself.
So, I'm currently working on an improved version of my Swampert MOC, and I would like to know what /lg/ thinks about it. It's missing a leg and some pieces are place holders but it should give you an idea of the finished look.
Also, here it is from the side. The body is one module longer which was very much needed, and while it looks similar to the first one, it's actually very different in terms of build.
>>5566457
How do you build a super combiner that -doesn't- have a head machine?
LET'S VOLT IN
And for good measure, I'm throwing a picture of the first version along with my Marowak MOC for comparison purposes.
>>5566464
The most common cop-out is that the head is in the torso vehicle.
>>5566468
Well, it seems like the lever are considered to be two different pieces so I don't really care, since I'm just putting them in backwards. Thanks, though.
>>5566474
Pretty sure they're not. If they were, they would come disassembled like the 2x2 turn tables, and the hinge pieces.
>>5566443
To be fair I haven't seen much done for the thread challenges this month asides from one post for the factions idea. I figured the Gattai one would lend well to the aspects of lego and /toy/'s love for Mixel Joints. The brick separator one is kinda hard and a bit too specific, and there's no reason the Wall one should still be there
Also I finally finished my thing for the Gattai challenge after holding off for like two weeks, so I'll probably post pics of it tonight
>>5566468
Are you shitting me? They are two parts. Do you know how many times the bases have been used on MOCs? Come back when you have an actual critique.
>Buy something on Bricklink
>"I'd like shipping with insurance and tracking please"

Fucking never again.
>>5566491
Don't be too hard, I would prefer not to create any fight, I just wanted /lg/'s opinion.
>>5566505
Fine, I'll give an actual critique.
Overall your Swampert is pretty excellent. It's instantly recognizable which is the most important part when building a replica of something. You've captured the shapes accurately, the only thing that looks off is some of the color placement due to the limitations of some parts.
I would try replacing the 1x1 tiles on the fingers with 1x2 curve slopes to try hiding some of the black handle part. Also if you're able, try experimenting with replacing the grey mixel joints in the hips. I recommend trying pic related in the thigh with a full size ball attached and putting the sockets inside the body if there is room. Shame about the grey on the cheeks but I can't think of an alternate solution. The orange spikes are too good to replace.
Also I would love to see you continue making pokemon.
>>5566491
Do you know when they've been used that way in official sets? feels like a one piece to me, too.
this is the oddest superprezent so far.
>>5566520
It's literally two pieces, senpai. You're not going to damage them by taking them apart. The only part I think you woul damage by separating is 1x2 plate hinges.
Also 2x2 plate turntables didn't always ship in two parts.
>>5566530
yeah, I know. When I got a handful of turntables from a PAB wall those were considered two pieces. But I'm curious whether there was ever a Lego set, or official anything, that only used the lever base.
>>5566483
>Pretty sure they're not.
>If they were, they would come disassembled like the 2x2 turn tables, and the hinge pieces.
Both turntables and hinge pieces have come unassembled.
mmm.. belgium chocolate.
>>5566519
Thank you for the thorough critique. I've just tried replacing the 1x1 tiles on the figers, the curved 1x2 does mean some of the black of the structure part is hidden, but also the hands would be pretty big looking in proportion to the body, and you would loose articulation. It would work if the MOC was bigger, though.
I uderstand the grey being an eyesore on the legs (though I think the arms are more of a problem in terms of coloring) and using a full size balljoint would actually help since the hips should be able to maintain all the body without the arms helping (but it's pretty obvious having the model in hand that it won't be capable of doing that) but since the body is 3 module large, the only way your method would work would be to acually use double Y connectors from metru's thighs for example, which, if my memory serves me right, doesn't exist in blue, and I would need to rethink the body from the ground up. I think I will at least buy some mixel ballcup in dark grey since they come in the Super Hero Airport Battle, so the grey match up with the secondary colour of the creation.
Thank you very much for your opinion, please don't hesitate to tell me if you find something else that you don't like or think should be modified, it's of great help.
Also, here is the flygon model I've worked on last year, I may need to work on it again to improve it.
>>5566550
Yeah the Flygon needs a bit of work to be as good as your Swampert imo. I'd try scaling it up just a pinch to make the hands, head, an wing/tail patterns look better.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=shaddow
Be aware that it's a mess with many old galleries with bad photography though. I plan on making a flickr gallery more likely soon, when I'll be able to take actual good pictures of my créations.
>>5566656
No, I'm too self conscious about buying it in the first place. If I can't get it delivered to an Amazon locker or ebay click and collect, I don't buy it. Hopefully moving out soon so I won't have people that might judge me for it and other hobbies.
>>5566762
Yeah I highly recommend flickr. Most of the Lego community lives there. It's free and far better than brickshelf and mocpages. Post your link when you make one.
>>5566277
I HOPE they will make it that way.
>>5566547
Thanks for making these. My money is ready for april - I plan to get 6 robins and make army of chickenmasters
>>5566589
Im pretty sure the single strongest joint avaliable right now is the friction extender piece.
>>5566547
I'm a bricklink virgin but I'm seriously considering doing business with you.
>>5566822
He's worth popping your cherry on, mate.
>>5566816
Word, but unless my MOC is using grey I have to hide that sucker inside the foot or lower leg.
Then there's pic related, but they're only 3 colors, out of production, and ever so slightly weaker than the socket extender.
This is going to take some serious ankle engineering this time. Hmmm
>>5566762
Ohh, I know you, I remember your Vahki guy with the cape on /biog/. Nice pokemon, fellow Toa.

I don't doubt that they're yellow. I was looking through the heads for color variants after that other anon posted his haul a couple threads ago.
>>5567312
>how much would you pay for minifig parts from very expensive sets
Fair point, I paid $35 for two of these torsos and 341 miscellaneous greebles.
>>5567284
For that price you could probably print several of your own yellow heads, assuming you want em purely for personal fun-related reasons and not for competition or re-jewing

That era they just liked having trains in tunnels on the boxart for whatever reason. Goodness I miss old Lego ads. They had such better backdrops, photography, and just more magic than today. My very favorite things to look at are Lego catalogs from 70, 80, and 90

2001 was the last year (I think) that Lego used photographs of physical sets with minimal retouching and physical backdrops.

>>5567400
I almost bought that one in the same order I got the 2 red and the orange heads in this pic, as well as a trans red one I forgot to add there.
QUESTION FOR THE ROOM
Trans-Medium Blue. One of the three fluorescent Lego colors. It's been around for a while, but have they changed it at all over the years? I recently bought a minifig head labeled as trans-med blue, but what I got was sort of bluish-green and not reactive to blacklight at all. I don't know if the seller mislabeled the part or if this is what TMB looked like in the past.
Anyway, the whole point of this post is to ask, "Does anyone here have the trans-med blue chainsaw that came in the Alpha Team 4748 Ogel's Mountain Fortress, and if so can you put it under a blacklight and tell me if it glows or not".
This is the only picture of MBTC I could find.
>>5567421
Does that red girl have different printing on the other side?
>>5567429
yes, and it is a good example that we must consider certain print details, such as facial expression lines, before buying these. You can see the line meant for a yellow here there, not a problem in this head but others could look really ugly.
>>5567439
Yeah, I bit the bullet and bought the yellow Robin a few minutes ago, and I figured I was going to have to heresy the expression lines off of it.
>>5567444
>>5567446
here is a closer pic, you can see the facial lines match what we'd expect for a fleshie head.
don't forget to post a pic of that robin!

>>5567354
I dislike the fake back grounds because it always looks bland.
Look at pic exampled. The rocks are real props which make the set appear as if it is infront of you. Notice how the angled lighting makes it seem as if it really is sunset in scene.

I am not. I want Kai's Mini Dragon because I want the flame pieces and an army of red ninjas for my Nexo Knights to fight.

Then get in touch and see if you can work it out. I'm sure it's a resolvable situation. Negative feedback from an actual seller tends be a last resort.
>>5568136
contact the guy and you'll probably get a refund, or the missing sets. That's happened to me every time I had to complain, BL sellers tend to be decent people.
Speaking of complaining though.

What IS that thing?

Looks like an elsa snow miniom.

I did the same, but now I'm more concerned with arming them than getting more. Half of them need weapons or mounts.
>>5568066
I think adding effects is fine, but the source photograph has to be fundamentally sound. It sort of looks like you set your vehicles on the floor, squatted over them and snapped the photograph using the ambient light. As a result, a lot of detail is lost in the vehicle in the lower right. From the file name, I take it that these marauders are driving into some sort of explosion. Explosive fireballs give off lots of light, so you need to add a secondary light source coming from the left of the frame (the source of the explosion). Finally, it looks like the photograph is cropped too closely. The vehicle lower right doesn't fit into the frame. Try "pulling back" a little bit to get the whole thing into frame. If you're going for more dramatic effect, then get lower to the "road," warrior.
To recap:
>think about light sources before editing
>consider the frame when cropping
>shoot at the angle with the greatest visual impact
That last one usually means taking more than one photo and then looking at them with a critical eye. Effects can enhance an image, but they can't make up for its shortcomings.
One last thing: The "cracked earth" tile(?) pattern would have made a much more suitable backdrop for the vehicles.

I was confident, related previous toy experience at Toys R Us, and demonstrated thorough knowledge of Lego products without looking obsessed.
I also suggested that a kid who's into Pokemon may enjoy Mixels.
I want to put together a Resident Evil Hunk minifigure and it looks like I'll have to go 3rd party for the gas mask and helmet.
Any suggestions on a company?
Are 3rd party parts any good?
Has anyone had experience?
>>5568406
>Are 3rd party parts any good?
no
>>5568406
Depends who you go to. I have some BrickWarriors, they're pretty high quality parts. For what you're looking for though, BrickForge and BrickArms will probably have everything you need.
>>5566277
I swear to god.
Mixels, nexo knights and ninjago areally autistic tier legos. My god its all garbage. I hope everyone who pays money for this shit runs out of money and starves
>>5568406
>Are 3rd party parts any good?
Some. I've got some brickwarriors and brickarms things, the quality is pretty high. Same as Lego, really. The one problem is design, some of their stuff is so detailed it clashes with the minifigs.
name a worse type of human than someone who posts pictures of their unopened lego boxes
hint: you can't
>>5568591
Korean spammers

>some of their stuff is so detailed it clashes with the minifigs.
That's what throws me off with some of these things. Lego has a simplicity to it, but some of these third party pieces look lifelike. Like the Plague Doctor's robes here - It's just -too much- compared to other minifigures.
>>5568591
Someone who bitches about it while they contribute nothing.
I'm bored, here's a comparison shot between stormtrooper rifles from brickarms and lego.
some stuff I think actually looks good.
>>5568630
Why did he put a flashlight on his gun?
And why is it directed to the back?
>>5568631
to blind his pursuers, of course!
>>5568631
That's a scope, it's supposed to be the 1911 from Terminator.
>>5568639
Don't you mean laser sight?
>>5568642
yeah, you're right.
>>5568574
>autistic tier
I love how modern 4chan has evolved all these visual cues to let you know that someone's post isn't worth reading.
>>5568591
I did this on facebook with my adam west batcave, but I did post the finished pieces on instagram.
>>5564930
I count the number of pieces in Knights battle pack and I get 33.
>3 knights - 5 pieces each
>squirebot - 10 pieces
>2 weapons made of 3 pieces each
>2 weapons made of 1 piece each
Am I missing something?
>>5568741
The shield and the another weapon?
>>5568743
Damn, I didn't count the shield and power piece.
It's good that we're getting shield in cheaper "set" but I would really like rock shield in monsters battle pack.
>>5568630
Is that an Aliens pulse rifle in the bottom center-ish?
>>5568801
Yeah, pretty much my favorite of the third-party pieces.
>>5568136
If you got invoiced for 8, and only received 6 you have every right to contact the seller about it.
Some combat walkers to support my marines in urban warfare. Ended up not as nice as I had hoped, but fitting them in the dropship's cargo compartment limited the size. Still need more Galaxy Troopers for more boots on the ground.
>>5568833
Who are they fighting against?
>>5568833
makes me think of Titans from Tiberium, expect small
I just installed LDD. I've never used it before. What should I expect?
>>5568837
Multiple threats. An opposing human Federation, as well Mixels. Don't let the cute appearance fool you, those things are vicious. I'd also like to collect some insectoid sets and make some MOCs I'm that style.
Opinions on the Exo Suit set? Worth £30?
>>5568120
i love them apart, you're right but i store all my mixels as a maxel on my shelf, and their extra parts in a little baggy. i dont want him being the only one separate, but i feel like thats what im gunna do because of just how... dumpy it is
>>5568965
Its kinda ugly, and a little fragile, but it has a lot of nice parts. Also, getting green versions of the classic space minfigures is kinda neat.
>>5568965
Cool pieces, nice figures, but the build is fragile as fuck and kinda meh once it's all together.
>make cracklink order on March 10
>next day, status changed to PACKED
>two days later, status changed to SHIPPED, but according to the tracking number it's just a preprinted label and the post office hasn't actually received it yet
>EIGHT DAYS LATER it actually gets in the mail
>only takes a day to get all the way across the continent once it escapes New Jersey
Still worth it for this sweet white baseplate, even if it was so dirty I had to scrub it before I could be sure it wasn't actually tan. Gonna have to bleach it once the weather warms up.
>>5568997
>EIGHT DAYS LATER it actually gets in the mail
The tracking information is, often enough, not updated at various steps along the way. I've had tracking info say it was just the shipping label being printed even after I've gotten the package.

In my shithole it was even worse - once package leaved some transit point in europe it was never ever updated, even after I finally got it.
>>5568965
I fucking love mine, and that's less than I paid for it.
>Challenge LEGO® DIMENSIONS™ enemies of any size with the Gimli Fun Pack, featuring a buildable Gimli minifigure, axe and rebuildable 3-in-1 Axe Chariot
dont own the game, but im looking at the instructions and ingame play online
what the fuck does "rebuildable 3-in-1 Axe Chariot" mean, because im only seeing one build, and the only three in one it has, is three different weapons in one tank
>>5569056
well nix that i guess. iv seen the mini ingame picture of them, just not their actual instructions of the other two. i guess il just keep lookin
LDD doesn't have this piece, and it hates letting parts sit next to connectors like it. How do people actually make anything with this program?
>>5569056
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPgwdFZ-CCw
>>5569073
But it does have it.
>>5569080
I couldn't find it by number or name when I looked the part up on Brickset. I must be missing something.
>>5568965
I think so.
Lots of nice parts and green Classic Space if you're into that sort of thing. It's very fragile and lacks wrist articulation, though, I had to mod mine pretty heavily before I was happy with it. But that happens with every set.
>>5569088
Well, I dunno what ids Brickset uses, but it's 15100 on bricklink same as in LDD.
>>5569110
Looks like I had to run Extended mode to get the part. That's one problem solved, at least.
>>5569093
I'm an /m/fag so anything mecha and space related is appealing to me.
I have a lot of old bionicle/technical pieces so modding it isn't that much of an issue.
>>5568965
I've bought 5 and made two alt color ones from scratch. Definitely worth it.
>>5568997
you amerifats receive everything within DAYS. Talk about being spoiled, what if you had to wait MONTHS to get what you order?
>>5569146
Straya pls, the rest of the world's posties don't have to fight roos and risk getting their ankles gnawed away by wombats just to deliver some plastic.
>>5569142
Including a four-armed one?
>>5569192
>Including a four-armed one?
Not yet but I want to, main reason why I bought the last two.
>>5569076
thanks, thats more than i found. all i had was smaller pictures. instructions or not its pretty simple to figure out how to put those three together
thanks again
