do we have any clue when spidey bridge will be coming out? i guess it'll be after the civil war sets. hopefully dont have to wait too long
>>5569200
What's with that wall challenge?
It showed up out of nowhere like 3 threads ago.
>>5569212
i wonder how expensive it will be...
>>5569212
Every time I look at this set I see something new that makes me fall for it more and more. This time its Kraven's awesome fur collar.
>>5569222
Somebody posted it as a joke and later OPs just blindly copypasted it.
>>5569212
Still disappointed this doesn't have a Gwen Stacey minfigure.
>>5569231
That will be coming in a clock tower set next year with neck snapping action!
>>5569212
A $100 for a broken bridge! Would anyone be interested in this set if it didn't have the figures?
Seems that Lego can get away with selling a pile of shit as long as they include some desired figures with it.
>>5569246
>shit set
>shit minifigs
I'd buy it.
does anyone know if there's an updated version of this pic with more colors?
>>5569255
roll your lego class
dubs is free choice
>>5569295
FYI all the roll posts are probably going to get deleted.
some old bugs
So should I base the back trailer off a school bus like the original version, or off something different?
>>5569295
Roll
>>5565971
Did some more experimenting with my Intercept Orbit carrier build, including a couple iterations of the primary joint. Happy with it now. It's extremely pose-able - nose and tail have a wide range of motion. The chassis & secondary wings rotate freely around the inner bay. The bay itself has enough room to physically enclose a couple of micro-scale mechs or starfighters. Parts could be more matching, I suppose.
Criticism welcome.
>>5569371
I meant to tell you those looked pretty cute, but this one is great!
Post the minifigs that represent you!
Isn't the lego batman movie trailer supposed to come out today?

>mfw my local hobby store had a decent amount of Z-nap pieces in the grab bin and a lot of bionicle parts
>>5569322
I like these a lot.
I'm usually too focused on making something that can be crewed, but this is kinda a bug.
Early for once so looking for critique on my latest mech. Been watching a lot of gundam lately so there you go. Currently happy with the chest area but will probably change the lower legs and arms a bit

>>5569603
>Put item out before it's supposed to go on sale
>Don't actually let you buy it
>Even though it's their fuckup
I hate it when stores do this.
It's just a gigantic cocktease.
>>5569606
I'm more upset that I have to wait two fucking months to buy something they already have in their possession.
>>5569606
In cases like this, the machine literally won't ring it out because of street dates. The machines are set up this way because they know some minimum wage employee who doesn't care about street dates will mess up.
>>5569616
If they cared so much about street date maybe they shouldn't ship these things out two months in advance.
>>5569601
Older series or IBO? Reminds me of that newfangled Graze. I'm more fond of UC suits.
Neat job, anyways. Gray doesn't do it many favors though.
>>5569603
I went to TRU back when the Jurassic World line was new and the polybag had just come out. They had it on the shelves and wouldn't let me buy it a day early...
>>5569603
>>5569606
TRU team member here, managers can override the street date, Which should have been done. Yes that was the stores fault the product was put out early, but we'd just let you buy it, collect the ones that are still out and put them in a street date bay in the back.
>>5569609
>>5569617
There are more than just lego that are marked as street dated, happens with movies, music, video games, and a few other toys as well.
I'm also thinking that those boxes weren't clearly marked, this happens a lot. It's supposed to have a big sticker with the date on there, but sometimes promo items and shippable inners are not marked this way.
I made a big mistake of putting Mega Yarn Yoshi restocks out even though they weren't marked.
I'm sorry that happened to you anon, that's bad customer service.
>>5569603
That happened with me with the midway arcade dimensions set.
>>5569463
did you znap them up?
>>5569463
>My local hobby shop only sells drones and gundam models
Fuck.
May the 4th polybag.
It's crap.
>>5569706
What is even the fucking point? It's the exact same as the one in the battle pack, isn't it? Except this one has a backpack.
>>5569715
The torso is ever so slightly different.
>>5569718
wow, a line and two pepper spray holsters
thats... pretty impressive
>>5569706
Well, it's a free Stormtrooper.
>>5569706
Jesus fuck what a disappointment.
>your Lego order has shipped
>>5569222
Yeah! It detracts from the wildly popular challenges already voted for. Any day now there's going to be a rush of brick separator mocs, you'll see.
>>5569706
>tfw Findu nuffin is hiding under that
>>5569706
Thanks lego ;_;
>>5569706
How to get em?
>>5569770
Around the 4th of May they offer them up as freebies at the LEGO stores. Usually it's like, spend $75~$100 on Star Wars stuff and you get one.
>>5569706
>>5569718
Has anyone been as far as using the chest for a punisher custom?
>>5569706
fuck polybags man, they never arrive to my city and scalpers double their prices so bad
What's the best promotional polybag in you're opinon?

I just purchased this guy and a classic pre-joints minifig, you know the "hands in pockets" people
Oly shite the nostalgia doesn't exist in me anymore
I was so excited to finally get the minifigs I coveted for long time but I'm now just like eh
Why hasn't anyone posted the LEGO Batman movie trailer? We will have hours of fun breaking down less than 3 minutes of video. Sure would be a shame if we only had pictures of ketchup and feet to talk about instead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBJyp2LFHgk
Working on my quarter of social rejects. Making it as chaotic and corrupted as possible. Always liked this kind of "comfy chaos".
I really need to change the color of those curtains at the bar but i dont have that many "average" bricks. Mostly non-brick-ish bricks.
Also need to add a specific billboard at the top of bar-building.

And mess up your reputation with your local lego store or redistributor? This board is for manchildren, normie clerks already find us creepy
Unless you are such a lovely guy with charms or not gonna visit the store again, I wouldn't do this
>>5569995
You replied to a post that had THE link on it
>>5570002
I know, I was just saying it was a surprise.
Also stupid, but I prefer the Batman design from the lego Batman games.
>>5570004
I think with the superb quality of animations, the amazing voice acting, and the genuinely chuckle worthy well crafted jokes this movie will make me forget about pedantic AFOL issues
They could have made the whole logo out of a mixture of old gray and bluish gray and I would have still loved it
I hope the actual movie doesn't suck goat tits
>>5570014
I just meant that I don't really like the black suit.
>>5569977

>>5569977
>Nigger Music as batman track
Stopped. I already wanted to stop when he was making those rap-sounds at the and but decided to stop cringing and continue but then.
It was like...
Why USA suddenly went so nigger? I understand that gangstas are badass but WHY you think Batman would ever have that retarded music as his theme?
I guess its because im from europe and i never seen gangstars/rap music being popular here. But this is like the lowest level of shit that makes me to turn player off no matter what.
>>5570024
>I understand that gangstas are badass
they are not
>>5570024
>Why USA suddenly went so nigger?
Because the modern whites are cucks and want to ditch their own culture in favor of others
I agree with you on the disgusting nigger music part, but to be honest I am so used to this shitshow that I didn't notice it
If you remove all that, the trailer was totally GOAT
>>5570039
It was a picture of a man fucking a pigeon
no kidding
>>5569974
Get used to that feeling, it happens with everything in life
The chase is ALWAYS the most exciting part
>>5570049
Are we instinctively replicating 'hunter/gatherer' mentality in modern lives because we fulfilled the baseline need of Maslow's hierarchy?

>>5569974
>Oly shite the nostalgia doesn't exist in me anymore
>I was so excited to finally get the minifigs I coveted for long time but I'm now
Im not used to that feeling. I guess because i dont choose obviously autistic figures.
Why you think that "classic pre-joints" figures are good? They were shit even back in 90s.
And that guy with bat-helmet...I dont know. Even as 90s kid i would think that he's quite shitty because of boring colors and dull design.
Basil Bat Lord however...this motherfucker is still awesome. May be his facial paint is outdated but even that is not that much of a problem.
>>5569977
They can't tease a batman beyond suit and not give us a minifig of it now.
>>5570106
I would rather get Exclusive Bat.
>>5570127
If he's in the movie and voiced by Will Friedle than it's a guaranteed 10/10.
>>5570084
He also ride a fucking black dragon with fucking glowing red wings.
its finally night time so i can try the green lightning. Zombie cheerleader lives with her roommate that happens to be a scientist that tries to find a cure for zombie virus and uses her friend as a science subject.
Zombie girl dont mind that, it's the least she can do - her scientist friend actually managed to make her recover most of her memory and mind.
But she still suffer from neverending hunger.
>>5569601
awesome
>>5570037
>>5570024
How about because it's fucking funny.
It's funny because it's so silly and out of character. Like the idea of Batman waiting in front of a microwave for his lobster to cook, wearing a bathrobe and his mask while making bored sounds. Or the entirety of Batman in the Lego Movie, where he has a tremendous ego, an obsession with subwoofers and acts like a spoiled child/teenager.
Rap is not the type of music you expect Batman to listen to, let alone attempt. So when you hear Batman talking about "laying down some sick or fat beats" it's funny. When he says "Batman Out!... Wait, Batman back in" because he forgot to do a mic drop, it's funny not only because he forgot to do the mic drop, but because it's Batman doing a fucking mic drop.
>>5570084
>Im not used to that feeling. I guess because i dont choose obviously autistic figures.
Excuse me sir, please try to be environmentally conscious and place your trash opinions in the bin instead of typing them out here
I love basil but I love the stone guardian statue more. It has "boring" colors because guess what, it's stone. It isn't really boring unless you have the attention span of a fish
Also the classic legoland figures aren't supposed to be "WOAH BADASS DUDE LMAO SO GLAD WE ARE 16 WEED LMAO" but they are supposed to be a more refined taste for the more aesthetic oriented eyes. This is because they are cool antiques and tell a tale without looking like a michael bay movie molded in plastic. e.g. ninjago
>>5570196
Yeah but we all know that is over simplified of an explanation. You'd have to be naive to think that kids nowadays could sit through different music.
This tactic in hollywood developed a synthetic demographic in the 90s. Rap begun to replace all kinds of soundtracks and scores because the youth connected with it, and if Lego Batman was only using rap to make a simple joke, we wouldn't hear it all throughout the trailer.
Remember the scene in Deadpool where they all do the cool walk and rap music starts.
It was an interesting and self-conscious scene but I said to myself "ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING NIGGER MUSIC"
>>5570210
You need to take your racist cracker-ass bullshit somewhere else. Maybe the same place you put your confederate flag.
>>5569977
If it's half as good as Lego Movie, I'm stoked.
>>5570227
>you put your confederate flag.
I don't have one
Hey speednegro, any blackie lego fan is okay on my book. Lego is the glue of manchildren of all colors and creeds
>>5570208
Agreed. God bless.
I have noticed that on all figures that I have bought, majority are post 2004, they all have what looks like a straight line split under their arms
Was this a stress relief feature added to the torso for arm problems?
Or is it just an actual stress crack?
All the torsos have them and they all look identical
The only early figure I have right now is 2000 Boba Fett and he is the only one without these
>>5569606

>>5569637
Just for funsies, I wrote a letter to customer service.
Good Morning.
I'm writing today to address a concern regarding Toys R' Us store # <12345>, located at <123 Fake Street>. I brought my son in early yesterday morning, around 11AM, so he could pick up a small Lego set of his choosing for doing a great job in school. We found a small Lego Set in a bag called Captain America's Motorcycle from the superheroes line.
He was very excited, so he picked up a handful of them, which was around 3 bags, and wanted to leave right away so he could build them. After being in line for a long time, because only one checkout lane was open, we were denied sale of the item. The manager, Nick, then had told me that I cannot purchase the item because it was street dated because of the movie. I asked him if there was anythign he could do since the items were on the shelf, with a price tag and everything, right next to other Captain America sets. Unfortunately, the manager could not do anything.
I had to explain to my autistic son that he cannot buy the set, and I had to take out some of the sets from his hands, which ended up in him almost crying. I just had to run back and get him a different set from the same line, which was somehow okay to sell.
I'd like to ask that if such items are street dated, why were they out in the aisles, priced? More importantly, why could I buy a different Captain America set from the same movie, while the other item is street dated? Shouldn't they all be street dated for the movie?
Thank you.

What is that hairpiece, it would be perfect for a He-man fig.
Has anyone checked their local Walgreen's for minifigures? I just found a huge rack of series 14, so if anyone is looking for monsters, check Walgreen's.

That's funny, I just got a classic no-arms torso yesterday. Got another one in the mail.

>>5569974

When talking "classic pre-joints", we mean these guys, right
>>5570547
Are anyone else's figures riddled with these? Even my brand new figures have them
>>5569986
Oh shit, where did that croc head come from? I want one!
Looking into grabbing a Buildable Grievous, any of the other Buildable Figures any good? Was kinda interested in the FO Stormtrooper but his head and neck really ruin it.
The legs look pretty damn awful on a lot of the human figures as well.
>>5570269
>>5570547
I checked a bunch of my minifigs, I have an old desert johnny thunder who has them, and a bunch of figs that are older that don't (classic town, castle, classic space, stuff like that). I'm guessing that this is an intentional thing they started doing in the 90's? Not totally sure, but that's what I can figure.
>>5570491
When I was like 6, my uncle or somebody gave me a fuckton of legos from the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth. I've got a whole bunch of 'em. I'm never really sure what to do with them in mocs..
>>5570554
I could only see using those as clothing store mannequins these days, they're just so... Nondescript.
Maybe as an armor stand for Castle.
>>5570551
>memes aside why did you get it, I don't know why but I wanted one
Two reasons: I saw one used as part of a decoy dummy minifig in a SP3 episode, and because I wanted a white one to use as a straitjacket.
>>5570556
>>5570547
A bunch of my figs from the 80s-90s have seams that run from the center of the arm socket all the way to the bottom of the torso (either straight down, or terminating at the bottom rear corner). My CMF Zombie Cheerleader has the same line yours does, but as your picture shows, it stops halfway between the socket and the bottom of the torso. It's just a side effect of the manufacturing process.
>>5570554
Yeah
>>5570566
I also have one of the red old legs pieces on order. I'm planning on using it like a shorter version of the 2x2x3 dress pieces.
>>5570494
Admittedly, it's mostly because I don't have enough space to display most of these, even if I wanted to.
>>5570582
That makes me sad. Hope you can get some more space someday!

I love for Nexo Knights to reference the Yellow Castle.
"It was a time of great imagination and great confusion. The emerald floors of Castle Gold, the walls that could be built to any height. Back in those days, horses weren't bred, they were BUILT! Yes, the bricks themselves were alive!"
>>5570681
>I love for Nexo Knights to reference the Yellow Castle.
They did reference that castle, in the episode "The Golden Castle" - The entire thing is a huge callback, they even wear retro armor.
>>5570623

Yeah, so they can make 20 of them and then they end up on ebay for $12,000.

lol, the highest I had were hungarian horntail and mad-eye moody, but I sold that set recently, now it's silver centurion [spoilerjoke]that I got for free[/spoilerjoke]
Today I got Iron Patriot and Silver Centurion from Gamestop. I'm not really into Iron Man but I wasn't gonna pass up free polybags. Should I just sell them on Ebay?
>>5570806
Hold onto them for at least a year, I promise you the wait will be worth the increase in value.

Still? How what the fuck
Anyone in Toronto know where to get these..?
>>5570498
Man lego city always looked like the comfiest place ever, I wish they still did layouts like these.
>>5570812
Take a closer look. EVERYTHING is going wrong.
Is there a way to find bricks first used before a certain year? I need it for a lil project.
>>5570818
bricklink list the first and last years a piece was/is in production, as well as colors.
>>5570799
Sure, you could build that. The issue I see is getting any kind of amber colored 1x2 bricks in a large quantity. Call up Lego and ask them for a bunch of tran-amber colored bricks. it could happen.
>>5570809
I was looking for some PS4 games and asked the employee if they had any Lego polybags. Dude gave me both for free.
"Are you sure about this? You can still back out of it."
"No chance, doc. I got too many enemies in this town. Too many people know this mug."
"Very well. Nurse, prepare the patient for surgery."
"Right away, doctor."

"You won't feel a thing."
"Doctor-!"
"I see it. There we go. This is tricky business. Nurse, bring me a cigarette. I need something to steady my hand."

Hey, cool. Build Rocket Racer, too.
This might not have looked like much, but it was by far the most intricate and complicated act of heresy I have ever accomplished, but in the end I consider it a success. The fact that the mustache overlapped the mouth on both sides made it really difficult to remove, because you need a "runway" between the pieces of tape to be able to really get some good smooth abrasion without leaving a bunch of scratch marks. At one point I had five pieces of tape on the head.
I was a little worried at the end, because even though the Brasso didn't hurt the printing, the repetitive application of Scotch tape started to pull the printing off of the mask/eyes region. I was able to touch up both the mask and the eye itself in a way that I hope nobody can notice.

I have plans of trying similar heretic acts, but I don't want to use tape for that reason. I still have to find what the tropical rainforest version of brasso is though.
>>5570901
Which set?
>>5570905
It didn't start to come off until the third time I pulled tape off, but the amount of surface sealant varies by part and manufacture date so you might have better or worse luck. I was really surprised how readily it came off with the tape, considering how stubborn it was being on the mustache.

I was more inspired by Getter Go's/Neo Getter's combination method where one machine forms the top half, another the bottom half and the last one a backpack. In this case I just took a more liberal approach and used one as a scarf with one and just as a weird backpack in the others.

Actually, no, im NOT exaggerating. Someone listed the iron man/cap america set from comic con on ebay a month or two ago and wanted 12k for it. I know they didnt sell it for that, but still, the point stands.
Same with that damned superman action comics set. ONE PIECE in it is unique, but fuckers regularly try to sell it for over $500.

Basically, anyone have instructions/a link to the inner skeleton of one of these studs on all sides bricks, specifically one designed for 8x8 faces?

I liked it enough to buy it twice, but you should be aware that it can't really sit on it's wings, as the joints it uses are not firm. It sits by folding the wings closed, which it's done a couple times in the show.

>you should be aware that it can't really sit on it's wings, as the joints it uses are not firm. It sits by folding the wings closed, which it's done a couple times in the show.

It looks good, but I think you should do something to extend her left arm's reach a bit, like have her hold a robot claw or something with the bird on the end. you could also rotate the clips on her back, clip on robot claws so they stick out the sides, clip the wings into the claws, and rotate the arms so the wings angle down her back a bit more.

This guy kinda nails it.
So... I've recieved my Bricklink order, and I can say I'm way happier with my second version of Swampert than I was with my first.
First of all, it's a more solid build, and don't fall apart when you play with it, which is very important to me since I like to play and pose my figures. Also, I'm happy to say that it can stay on its hind legs alone in some poses, which is good since I didn't expect it being able to do that.
The arms look a bit more segmented than in the first version, but it actually helps a lot with the organic feeling of some poses, and since it's supposed to be a living, breathing creature, it's pretty important to look like one, and not like a robot.
I plan on doing some accessories for it to represent attacks, like a earthquake base and a new Ice Punch effect for the hand, though I don't think they will be done until at least next month, since I need to work on more /biog/ related stuff before that.
Also, since some people asked here and on /biog/ where I posted my creations, I've got that fist out of my ass and created a flickr account, my brickshelf gallery looks like a fucking mess and I don't like that, so from now on, my creations will be posted there :

The King is one of them. Lance's dad is probably another. They said that with the hundred years of peace prior to Jestro, the number of knights has dwindled, and the four (sorry Macy) are the lowest number ever.
>>5572174
But those 4 are literally knighted in the first episode.
Which means that either every knight from earlier generation retired once those 4 passed or there weren't any before ep 1.

If that's suppose to be the case, why don't they have robot heads like the Squire-bots?
Hopefully, Jestro's nearly successful assault on the Capital will warrant Knighton raise a fucking Militia...

Because they have their own more human looking robot heads. The kingdom has been at peace, they don't have a use for maintaining a robot military, so the squirebots are pretty much the bulk of what they have available other than the Nexo Knights. Presumably the other knights are too old, and given the size of the graduating class and the class after them (5 and 2), it doesn't seem like being a knight is the goal of many people - Especially in peace time.
Now that Jestro is storming around causing trouble with the Book of Monsters, maybe the kingdom will start pumping out more royal soldiers to build up a proper army again. Hopefully we see much more of them in season 2.

But WHY?!?!
Why give your manufactured Robot Soldiers more human faces than your manufactured Robot Citizens?
Plus I think in Aaron's webisode, he's competed against one of them in a Target Shooting Contest...

The BTTF set, whilst hugely overpriced now, isn't the worst value set out there.

brickset says $99.99/£99.99, is it usually reliable?

i wish they'd release an updated version, now that it's also in Dimensions. But it will probably never happen. It's kinda sad that they have all these licenses (doctor who, bttf, wizard of oz, scooby doo, portal etc.) and they only use them for a dimensions set or a short lived theme and then never do anything else with them.

Can't really see it with all that lego in the way, but those pillows on the couch are super ugly.
