So I just bought myself those baby dragons from the Elves line this morning. Not even into the series but Jesus fuck they are just the cutest little things. The Miku one in particular has one of my favorite color schemes since she reminds me of the Seacons from Transformers and just looks so vibrant and poppy.

Anyone else loving the little buggers? I never really cared for any of the weird "cutesy" animals that the Friends themes have been doing but these guys just bring me back to when the Mega Bloks Dragons lines were in full swing and I just adore them.

>>5590323

use the new knight bot torsos from nexo knights, you could brick build some limbs

I was thinking of making more of a chair for him, make him a lil' bulkier.

Need to do some tests in LDD with the head though before I order parts since I have no Lego at the moment.

Yeah, thats what I went with. Modern movie outfit with classic mask.

you could use a purple torso and arms and brick build the chair instead of putting a leg part

Straight outta Spinal Tap. Except he doesn't stuff.

>>5591117

Decided I'd go for a fully brick built figure, atleast then he can be huge!

First pass of the model, mostly going off how I remember him looking, going to do a second pass once I get together more reference material.

I can tell I'll be fucked for colours when I go to build this thing.
>>
>>5591146

When I make him IRL the purple 2x1s will be replaced with single legs from the original figure.

If anyone can suggest improvements feel free!

Sad thing is all I have to work with is an older Motorola Photon 4G smart phone, thus why my pics are never done well. I know, I can probably help alleviate some of it with something like photoshop, but sadly I dont have it installed and have ZERO experience with it.

Actually working on getting a larger space to take pics and a lightbox though, and there was some talk of my GF possibly getting her brothers old DSLR camera, so there is hope at least.

Either way man, big fan of your work, even if mine may have possibly annoyed you as well in the past. We all gotta start somewhere, right?

A few months ago, an Anon posted about how when he was a kid, he use to imagine that minifigs were kinky, sexual deviants. He spoke about how he'd imagine the minifigs on boxes and in catalogs/magazines were up to kinky shit and that was the reason most of them were smiling.

He gave an example using the recently released Ferry set (60119). He said that if he saw that as a kid, he'd have thought that the ferry captain had fucked the woman during the crossing and was now smiling because he had got her number and was looking forward to fucking her again later.

So if that Anon is still lurking, I just have a quick message.
FUCK YOU!
I can't look at sets like >>5591409 the same anymore.
I saw the RV and I thought that's a great set, then I read you post and from then on when ever I've seen the RV I can't help but think that there's some shota shit going on. That some Lego woman has either kidnapped some random boy, or taken her own son out on the road so that she can fuck him.

Serieusly fuck you for making my mind dirtier then what it was.

So I ordered some stuff on BL 2 months ago and paid that same day. It was "shipped", or at least marked as such, a week later.
4 weeks ago I sent a message to the seller, asking for a tracking number, which he claimed to have included in the shipping, as I was yet to receive my order. I got no reply, so I messaged him again the following week.
I sent a 3rd message last week, having still not heard back from him, let alone received my order. This message was brisk and upfront, informing him that if I had not received my order or at the very least a reply, within the next week, then I would be leaving negative feedback.

It's been a week now since I said that message and still nothing. He's logged into BrinkLink a number of times since my first message, but each one of my messaged say they have not been read, including the last which I marked as high priority.

Is there anything else I can do? Would it be appropriate to file a Non-Shipping Seller Alert? What will that involve? And would it be reasonable to file the NSS and follow through with my threat/promise/warning and leave negative feedback?

You're buying bootlegs that will hurt your hands to assemble, are manufactured with no oversight for toxicity, and don't look like genuine Lego parts.

That said, if you realize all this and don't mind supporting slave labor, go for it. I bought some on a lark, since five bucks is five bucks.

As someone who has bought a bunch from them, allow me.

Great prices.

Parts DO kind of have a different feel to them (although ive seen several people say you can wash them, its almost like they have a film on them from production) and you CAN run into some that dont fit together well (These were a set where its like "4 super hero figs and their useless confusing choices for vehicles, like captain america and his....go-kart of justice...."), but one of the bigger sets I got, a knock-off v-wing, the parts fit snugger than actual lego does, so your mileage may vary.

Colors may be a bit off. Depends on manufacturer really, but the good news is a lot of it is so cheap, you can afford to risk it a bit.

MOST of the single figs are perfect. Great prints, sturdy as fuck, and tons of characters and versions that NEVER got an official release and probably never will. Only figures I bought that were off were a set of trans-colored minifigures, THOSE were definitely brittle feeling and their arms fall off if you move them too much. Also any iron mans you get, they can either suffer from long neck syndrome, and for some reason china can NOT print tony starks face right. Always too high up on the head.

Shipping can and WILL take forever. Youre probably looking at at LEAST a month wait, but its the price we pay for getting knockoffs all day.

AH, I can tell you for SURE the Revan is worth it, as that was one of the first figs I bought from Ali. payed about .80 cents for him, and he was PERFECT, EXCEPT the blade for his light saber was off, it was a MUCH lighter red. Replaced it with a standard lego blade and he was good to go!

Theres a guy that makes MST3K bots here locally. You can find them on ebay, he does batches of both kits and pre-assembled ones. They are pretty expensive, but so fucking worth it if you are a fan, and yes, they are fully functional puppets. I swear, the guy had access to the original at some point, and I am pretty sure he even got one of his letters read on an early episode of MST3K back in the day (How often is Ypsilanti Michigan ever mention in ANYTHING?)

Thats my closest store too! Make sure to find a friend who has a Disney annual pass for that 10% discount. All you have to do is show them an annual pass and they have a bar code behind the register they scan.

MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) is an old show where the cast would riff on shitty old 50s, 60s, and 70s B-tier horror and sci-fi movies.

There were two main guys, Joel in the earlier seasons, and Mike in the later seasons. Basically, it was a skit show where one of the guys was stuck in space with a bunch of robots, and they would get sent really awful movies by goofy villains and they had to watch the shitty movies.

But they just sat around riffing the movies and making fun of how bad they were.
>>
>>5592607
that doesn't sound very fun. its like watching someone talk while playing a video game and commentate on it

>>5592609
The thing is, you're not watching someone watch a movie
You're watching some watch a completely awful movie and make it relatively enjoyable
THAT takes some effort

i think >>5591868 might be your best bet with arms
the problem with them being that at this scale is, the real biggest you can get an actual hand is the clamp you already used. so you're either going to use it, or do a simple mixel arm like either of these
(the dark grey on the blue mixel is a male tow ball, but the same piece exists in female, i just was too lazy to find one)

i personally would go with your earlier non towball option though, unless you really want him to have a range of motion/expression

I have the game, and it's fun. But my compulsion for getting it is more OCD gotta get them all rather than getting it for the game itself, if that makes sense. I'm more worried about them running out of that shit and not having my game 100%. I even failed to capitalize on the 50% off fun packs they had + double VIP because I had bills to pay.

On the other hand, I love Nexo Knights, and all I have to get are Infernox Saves the Queen, Lance's Mecha Horse, Library, Fortrex, Ultimate Beast Master, Ultimate Robin, Ultimate Lavaria and Jestro's Mobile. I'm not too worried that these will run out soon since it's like, 3 months old or something.
