>>5630363
How are those sets anyways?
>>5630387
They're going to be even cooler than the ones out now mang. I'm really excited.
>>5630361
Looks like someone was ENLIGHTENED.
>>5630396
Actually cant wait to order some of the Enlighten CMFs, the other sets have some neat one offs in them.

I know there was an anon a couple threads ago who posted pics from what looked like a trade show or something that showed the new enlighten CMFs, anyone have those pics? There was like a rapper and a pilot or some shit in it.
>>5630415
>belt 1 notch too tight
>>5630425
Found em!
Also apparently another company is doing Metal Slug themed sets.
>>5630438
Jesus, the chinese are even doing full size modulars now, the biggest set is over 10,000 pieces.
Step up your game lego, PLEASE.
>>5630415
dem beards. Also that armor piece on the blue-skinned guy. If these brands focused on acessory packs with their own molds I'd buy them, but I already buy TLG's collectible series, I can't even think about buying these.

(also delicious brown!)
I believe i have the plague because i have undead fever. I am trying to bolster my undead minifgures right now.
To the guys who bricklinked misprints: I uploaded pics to BL's list for some of mine, maybe you could do that too.
>>5630461
post them and fuck the whiners in their ear canals
>>5630453
You have to remember, these CMF sets are probably like $5-$7 for the ENTIRE SET. MUCH cheaper than what lego has to offer. Thats why, no matter how much the purist may REEEEEE about it, usually these are equal to lego in my opinion. Sure, there might be a few oddities here and there (like the thin waists), but usually some thing like that can be fixed with a part swap or two.
>>5630497
Nah, the children are already complaining about shit and I have a feeling some over zealous janitor is going to come in here and delete them all anyways.
No fun no fun no FUN.
>>5630503
Can you at least post a link to a site selling them?
After a fair amount of trial and error, I think I have something to show off. It isn't great, but I'm not totally unhappy with it.
>>5630503
Nobody ever whined about lego stuff (aside from waifu-posting maybe), so stop crying like a pussy.
>>5630438
>Metal Slug
I demand pictures
>>5630506
Man, you totally fucked up fps.
>>5630506
Shit anon, that's pretty well-done!
The only complaint I have (besides the speed) is that moving the camera upward at the end is pretty jarring. It might look better if the anim was longer and it led to something, but as it is, it just looks like you picked up the camera at the end and forgot it was still recording.
>>5630506
You're improving.
Work on maintaining a constant rate of fps, that will probably really hard but practice makes perfect.
I wouldn't be surprised to see if the chinese have a bootleg planet earth somewhere
>tfw I really want Darth Revan
is the Aliexpress REALLY that ok? Some of their paint apps look like absolute trash.
>>5630524
Yes, the Revan figure is just fine. Only things that might be off are the color of his saber blade (easy swap) and his cape is actual cloth instead of that fake paper cloth shit lego used for a long time.
>>5630524
Buy a couple. Increase your odds.
>>5630514
actually nevermind, this doesn't even look remotely recognizable
>>5630527
This guy gets it, I just did that with my movie style Deadpool, one of his kneepad prints is off, so I ordered another one, and if that one isnt good, im ordering five more so I can frankenfig a good one.
For about 80 cents a fig, its not that bad.
>>5630529
If you just pack bunch of pictures to video, you may simply copy same frame several times.
>>5630531
>Any other purchases worth recommending from there?
EVERYTHING from the Enlighten Pirates series is fucking beautiful. Theres a ship thats a giant turtle, undead pirate ships that are HUGE, a water ski powered by two sharks pulling it, and some great waifigs (and enlighten is willing to print the cleavage on them.).
Most of the single superhero figures are great except for a few exceptions (any of the iron man figures are good EXCEPT for tonys face, they print it too high on his head, easy swap though.), they are doing what look like some OK nexo knights knockoffs right now, and for SOME REASON, they released knockoffs of the ninjago sky pirates shit like a MONTH before lego did.
Mostly just keep in mind that the stuff is cheap enough you can take a couple risks to see if they are stuff you might like. Also keep an eye on shipping costs and delivery time. The good stores have free shipping, but definitely expect the shit to take a couple weeks to a month to get to you. Good thing is they have protection so if it take longer than 60-90 days at the most, you get a full refund AND get to keep the shit if and when it comes.
>>5630537
Thats a good idea. I was going to try and convert single images to video by telling ffmpeg to use a really low fps then stitching them all together with the higher fps stuff when I was done.
so bootlegs are acceptable now? are the plastic quality on par with lego?
>>5630543
Yeah I saw the purple waifu with the pirate set and the badass skull guy, I need to check if they sell them separately.
>>5630499
I know they are cheaper, but I wont buy the entire set for just one or two pieces that interest me, that still $5 to $7 that I'm not using to buy other pieces.
Most of those figs are simply too specific, and I don't like the head prints. That being said if anyone is willing to start a BL store that sells certain bootleg parts as "custom items" I'd totally buy from you.
>>5630546
Yeah for the most part. Sometimes the clutch is a little loose, but I've bought multiple non-lego sets off aliexpress and they're all fine.
>>5630546
They are improving
>>5630546
Bootlegs are acceptable as long as you just ignore people bitching about it. And yes, the quality is really good, sure, theres a few mistakes here and there, but it seems like its getting better by the month, so give it a shot if ya want, buy a figure for 80 cents, what do you lose?
>>5630546
I got this as a freebie extra from some bricklink seller I don't remember. It's based off the design from one of the games, and is pretty much proper lego quality. The leg pegs on the inside are weird though.
>>5630554
dignity
>>5630556
ooooo, I like him. Have to add him to the collection.
>>5630556
I remember a French BL store trying to sell their own printed version of this fig for top money, and trying to sell cheap marvel and DC polybags as part of the same lot with these.
some people....
>>5630562
It definitely seems most of the non lego superhero prints are stolen from custom figure makers. The movie deadpool for instance, I found a site last night selling the "legit" customs.
They go for close to $50.
>>5630556
CHINA IF YOU'RE LISTENING
PLEASE MAKE SOME BASEPLATES
Well actually no, I was wrong, for some reason I thought it was different. Only difference from a regular figure is one of the legs is a tad bit loose and there isn't any "LEGO" mold mark anywhere.
I wonder what the lego company thinks about this
>>5630586
Can you post that torso upright next to a legit LEGO torso? The shoulders looked a little low in the assembled pic, but they look "correct" in that one.
>>5630591
Just read what's been posted. Enlighten series is alright. I personally just stick to minifigs.
>>5630596
aight, thanks for the info
>>5630484
>that Darth Sion
>>5630590
good eye, I didn't even notice that
>>5630608
Shoulders are always the first thing I look at when looking for bootleg imperfections. I have yet to see a bootfig that can match the shoulder height and shape.
>>5630603
thats exactly what he was used for previously. sion is basically undead
>>5630574
They do. Look on ali, they make a bunch of them in different colors and sizes.
>>5630617
Which one is sion?
>>5630644
>no transparent baseplate
>>5630644
If someone gets them they need to post the quality of them here. They have some colors like (yellow, purple and red) that look pretty cool.
>>5630591
Enlighten for sure for sets, some of the others are ok.
Sheng Yuan (I think thats how its spelled, abbreviated to SY and then a number for looking for specific figures, IE: SY223) and Decool are pretty much the top dogs for super hero figures (although decools can be hit or miss.)
Bela makes some pretty good knockoffs of full sets, like star wars and capeshit.
Pretty much just do your research and look for reviews, heres a good place to start, this guy reviews a lot of this stuff and even does side by side comparisons between lego and the knockoffs.
http://mybrickstore.blogspot.com/
>>5630650
We have one from one of those house sets that they sell, its pretty much same as lego. Pegs fit nice and snug. Plastic feels a little different, but who cares how it feels.
Also you can buy different baseplates, which im guessing are these chink ones, on amazon if you dont want to deal with ALI, but its STILL coming out of china, so the shipping times will probably be about the same.
>>5630648
That would be neat as fuck, but I bet the plastic would feel pretty brittle. Chinese transparent parts are definitely a little off. I bought a set of blank transparent minifigs and they definitely are not up to snuff compared to lego. I have a trans nick fury though which is really good, so it may just be hit and miss.
>>5630657
And reading through this, I think we have out first review of one of the Star Wars TFA knock off sets, Kylo Rens shuttle.
Guy says its spot fucking on, solid construction, even the figures look good.
and it only costs $41.
>>5630671
Actually, scratch that, looking at the closeups of the figures, theres definitely some issues and he even says that, but still, compared to $120, easy enough to replace a few first order troops.
>>5630458
half shark
half copter
>>5629419
Technic sure has come a long way since the holed bricks of old. How do these flat pieces connect to other things? I'm assuming it's with pins?
>>5629513
This is so good. I'm probably picking up Naida's Adventure Ship tomorrow. I'll have to look at the new assortment too.
>>5630148
>>5630415
Holy shit, I need these. More classic oriental stuff in general is a good thing.
>All this bootleg chinashit in /lg/
>More knockoff trash than LEGO
Fuck on off now ya chink lovin' shitstains!
>>5630827
>says guy with stolen figure
>>5630827
>mu-muh hugbox
Anyone remember awhile back someone posted some weapon designs using the nexo shield pieces? Did anyone save a screenshot of that?
>>5630821
Naida's ship is a great set with great pieces. Post some pictures and opinion when you build it!
>>5630543
>and some great waifigs (and enlighten is willing to print the cleavage on them.).
This. Bought the Turtle ship just for the stripperific fig that I know Lego would never ever produce. Quality was decent but not up to par with Lego. Totally worth it though. Borderline weird boner material.
>>5630880
Why delete witty quip?
>>5630319
Posted this in the previous thread. Reposting as fits the current theme. Also, have some Devid VII power armour. Would love to get an indepth look at how he plans out his stuff.
http://mobileframezero.com/mfz/
>>5630882
where his legs
>>5630881
Oh, I changed the pic a little and didn't feel like retyping it.
alternate versions: top uses 2 of those 1x1s with holes, bottom doesn't.
>>5630899
presumably fitting inside the leg, up until the armor's knee, I think. From a build stand point, it's just his torso stuck on a 1x2 modified plate with bar.
>>5630909
>it's just his torso
I prefer to think he's an awesome cyborg.
>>5630954
Same problem here. The creator, Devid VII, doesn't post instructions for his stuff. part of the challenge of understanding what he builds is figuring out what pieces he actually uses. But it does seem like he favors those neck braces for attaching stuff to minifig bodies and droid arms.
>>5630882
hey, do you have a view of this from the back?
>>5630967
I deconstructed it. The white bar should be one of those handlebar pieces.
>>5630989
>>5630905
Are those your own designs? I think I have used one of your other ones.
>>5630967
>>5630993
The minifig isnt even attached to the armor, just held in place.
>>5630993
Using the hands and legs of fallen enemies to make power armor is a new high. Or a new low. I'm not quite sure.
Nice job! I couldn't figure out what's under the torso at all.
>>5630994
Yes. And hey, I was going to post that one next, now I don't have to!
Should this be a robot or a hardsuit? The torso is placeholder of course
>>5631015
Fuck. Save that as an electro-eldritch horror! Give it one of the citizen brick "meh" heads for extra spooks!
>>5631018
I don't have any of those heads
>>5631035
lol, this is something else
>>5631011
Fuck anon, you made me want to build one.
>>5630989
>that jetpack
My dick.
Pretty sleek anon.
Is this 'bent' tooth piece new? It looks pretty useful for making trim on buildings and carts and stuff.
Also, hah, snacks in the tree.
>>5631238
>Is this 'bent' tooth piece new? It looks pretty useful for making trim on buildings and carts and stuff.
No, I'm pretty sure it's been a Mixel Tooth for a while now...
>>5631238
it's not a new piece, you can find it in white in ninjago sets. and also in lime from 41176 secret market place

>we postin' weapons now
i'm having a little trouble photographing black parts with my one lamp and phone camera.
The rocketlauncher i built is barely visible for example, but when i up the exposure the bright colours tent to overexposure and oversaturate. But when i don't the black has very little gradients you can discipher. I think the camera does some weird contrast fuckery even though i turned auto contrast off.
>>5631356
This dystopian space city thing you're doing gets me moist, my dude. Every time you post a photo I'm stunned by the little details and techniques and the whole feel of it
>>5631397
Thanks man, that means a lot to me.
>>5631356

>>5631356
Fuck weapons, the car is amazing. Shame the doors can't be switched though!
superprezents!
How did you spend your 20% off on r'us?
>>5631611
There was nothing I wanted. :(
>>5631495
>>5631419
Yeah the suicide doors were a bit of a necessity, but now i just imagine it being modded a lot.
The hood/windscreen assembly is the trickiest part, but the two squares on the hood kind of spoil how it was done. Event though it's attached with just a few studs, the backs of those headlightbricks clutch like a motherfucker. Also i ran out of 1x1 plates with studs when i took this picture on one side, but those fit snugly on the inside of the windscreen piece too for stability.
For axles i use modified 1 x 4 plates with wheelholders on the side placed. Then i place them on jumpers. The plate has hollow studs so you can use the tubes of a plate to "un-offset" it so to speak and the wheelarches allign again.
>>5631346
>tfw no fantasy weapons
Let us rectify this.
>>5631661
>>5631661
that headcover is neat af, it looks really unstable otherwise though.
>>5631661
Those feet look a bit flimsy. I like the fact that the minifig fits inside it. Does the cockpit open or does it need to be disassembled to take the mini out?
>>5630362

All the 2H Technic. In reality, I'll probably not be getting any of it until I finish buying all the other stuff I missed from previous years.

I want this but I also don't want to pay full price for it
I heard there was tanks and metal slug here.
Guys look at the little ship the baby dragon is sitting. Is we getting what I am thinking?
>>5631832
I also need it. I will be focusing once again on elves and buys some ninjago pieces.
>>5631863
>Is we getting what I am thinking?
If you's thinking we're getting a little ship for a baby dragon to sit in then I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you are probably right
>>5631863
>Is we getting what I am thinking?
hooooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
>>5631863
Wait
Wait
That's a new piece right
>>5631863
If you're referring to the inverted slope, it exists in the other Elves sets as well.
>>5631880
It's seems to be a new 1x4 slope not two halves. but sadly I can be wrong
>>5631863
also i've just noticed the smaller dragon wings
>>5631890
Actualy these are new Dragon wings- they appeared on elves dragons already. The bigger wings are standard dragon wings from castle
>>5631625
>>5631356
>>5631346
Well I made some variants..
White is the production model, to the right is the civilian make, then the forester/ranger and finally a basic military production model, and a military transport model
>>5631911
These are great.
Any chance of a look at the models off to the left?
>>5631913
nope, the hat and torso are from soviet soldier from the indiana jones line
>>5631916
Just an orange one seater and some speeder bikes. I've posted them in older threads
>>5631661
12/10 especially for being real power armor and not just a minifig head stuck onto a robot body
Fucking nice
This is the first thing I've actually made from scratch using LDD. It's my attempt at an Arkham Knight Batmobile in minifig scale. Any thoughts?
>>5631943
I would rather use this windshield, but it will have to be trans light blue or trans dark blue.
>>5631913
<3 Way ahead of you-
>>5631920
how did you know that i fucking love advance wars.
>>5631628
this makes me want to start buying Chima, stop it
>>5631863
Whoa, I didn't know about this set. Looks great! The dragon looks like one of the best so far and the building is perfect.
>>5631802
Pic related, and it looks like I'll have to wait and see what other Elves stuff is coming out.
>>5631911
New variant on the forester. Doors/holding cage removed for lighter weight for pursuing and capturing large animals/dinosaurs? winch moved to the back manned by a shooter with a hook/tranq gun. Articulated capture arms.
>>5632005
anyone spotted purple or lavender 2x2 dishes in any of those new sets?
>>5632011
capture arms deployed. inspired by the capture humvee from The Lost World
>>5632014
I am picturing it suplexing a T-rex and it is a good mental picture.
>>5632022
Ha I can imagine that too. I might have to finagle a way to make that happen
>>5631896

Haha, you really went to town with my design man. Imitation is the highest form of flattery i suppose. I also used jumpers instead of chairs for it to seat two minifigs next to eachother btw.
Sup /lg/ I've been lurking these threads for about a week now and decided to get into the hobby after cashing out of MtG.
My question is: What would you recommend to buy to someone who never got to play with lego as a child and is just starting out his collection? I'm mostly interested in building mechs a la MF0 and maybe some cars to build with my nephew. This past weekend I checked some local stores and these sets catched my eye:
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=31033#T=S&O={}
I can get this for $21. I liked this one because the amount of wheels, wheel brackets and mudguards seemed amazing for the prize.
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=31042#T=I
I can get this one for $8. I liked two of the three designs, the third one just swaps the tail with the wings and that seems like cheating to me, but hey at $.08 per piece can't really complain.
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=31040-1#T=I
I can get this one for $5. I liked it mostly for the cheap price, the designs are samey but not much can be done with 65 pieces half of which goes to the chassis . Might get this for the nephew anyway.
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=31041#T=S&O={}
Again, $5 for this one. Seems like it has some interesting and useful pieces for later use in building mechs, and also comes with the "car chassis" pieces which I like.
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=10695#T=S&O={}
$28 for this. I don't have any bricks and less than five cents per piece seems like an awesome deal to me. I could build some shit with the nephew with this and use it later as terrain fodder for MF0.
>http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=10693#T=S&O={}
$18 for this. Same deal as the last one but it consumes less of my current budget which I can spend on other sets.
TL;DR: You have $50 bucks, you have no bricks, what sets would you buy?
>>5632074
>cashing out of MtG
>have $50 bucks
Damn son, your deck must have been SHIT
>>5632066
Your design is brilliant, it is so simple and easily modifiable that I couldn't help but make variants. Utility is my favorite capability of a design and yours was just asking for tinkering! I didn't think to use jumper plates, I just wanted what looked the nicest haha Expect more in the future because I am sure I'll be up all night fiddling with these.
>>5632074
If you want to build minifig scale cars those wheels might be a little on the small side, unless you really like the 80s 4-wide town look.
Also consider what colour parts you'd be interested in as the creative buckets tend to have all kinds of colours in small quanities.
Unless you don't mind going full rainbow warriors.
As for mechs, do they have mixels around your place? (Here they don't unfortunately.) They tend to have rather coherent colourschemes and lots of joints and such handy for robutts.
>>5632058
>That tickle your itch?
it is a beautiful thing, thank you
>>5632080
No, no. I cashed out, then I put aside $50 (which coincidentlly is what I sold each of my SP Tiagos at) just for buying lego. The rest of the money is on a bank account until I decide what to do with it.
>>5632088
While I wouldn't mind the rainbow warriors look while starting it does seem like a good idea to pick some colors and stick to them. They didn't carry mixels at the stores I went to, but it seems like a good idea to hunt those down, lots of useful pieces, I got thrown off by the goofy design on the bags at first glance. About the cars now that I look at them again they do seems to be on the small side, never bothered to check them with a minifig side by side. I'm liking these >>5631911 >>5632044 designs,could you guys post some step-by-steps please? I'm mostly interested in the chassis or skeleton of the builds.
The stores seemed to have mostly recent stuff:
>Ninjago
I liked the minifigs and some of the sets but they seemed to be way overpriced when I checked the prices online.
>City
This line looks too bland for me, there may be some useful sets but they were a bit on the expensive side.
>Chima
I would like the line but it is a bit too furry for me even if it has some interesting designs that were on discount.
>Super Heroes
>Overpriced Capeshit
>>5632044
Sweet, looks like the Slug Gunner.

How bad? I have it 95% complete and stored away, could be 99% if I took the time to find a bunch of common pieces

I am literally browsing Lego general and Lego general in /tg/ all the time. Feelsgudman.
Sorry you stopped playing magic, otherwise, enjoy Lego general!

thats REEELY cool

I dont have any step by steps but I could tell you how I did the basic body. Its just ball joints and ratchet joints held together by a 2x4 on top and a 2x2 convex round piece on the underside. the main body is made from pic related
Just ordered this set from bricklink. I think it looks rad as fuck
>>5632208
I've been enjoying it for about a week and a half now, the fact that /toy/ is a slower board and that people are helpful and are posting OC all the time reminds me of the /tg/ of old. It does feel good.
I wish there was a way on Bricklink to sort by stores with the cheapest shipping costs, because that shit is gonna be the death of my wallet
>>5632232
I think Brickowl can do this but I haven't bought anything on there since I registered.
>>5632232
30$ set
10$ shipping :)

>>5632259
plus paypal fees and handling costs
that'd be 5$ plus tip ;)
Sorry if you get this question all the time, but is there a way to get a parts list out of LDD?

how does this niggas dog not step on these trains all the time
>>5632398
theres very little of it on carpet, and its not that wide, just two tracks. if it did, it probably would do very little
i was more impressed with the outside parts, some of it was clearly dirty as fuck, but way less than i expected
though he probably cleans it all the fucking time anyway

I fucking love those man, holy shit.

I can't really tell from here, but it looks like five rods shoved into a tire and held in place with a rubber band from what I see.
>tfw you finally get to own and build this
this was an extremely fun build. I've never owned a pirate ship before, even if this set in particular is of the steampunk persuasion
>>5632390
wouldn't actual model trains have been cheaper?

this is giving me nostalgia about those old hot wheels pc games where the car track is all over the house and backyard and shit

Oh god yes. Took me about a week to build, made the mistake of getting drunk and listening to head banging music the first night and got so hyped from the mix of the build and the music I threw up from drinking for the first time in years.
Only bitch is the thing is so heavy and right now we have it on our fireplace mantle. When doing fires in the winter I took it down each time, scared as fuck of dropping it. Wish I could get a second one, had a neat idea of mixing it with the steam train set from the lone ranger series, make a super train.

Fuck. No. Pic related. For the cost of this one, single HO-scale locomotive, I can buy a whole fucking lego train set and a little extra to go with it.
who /publictransport/ here?
>>5632557
>>5632541
Also, it sucked because mine was missing about 6 pieces. A few little things like the extra pirate hat and some of the greeblies, but also a whole sail was missing. Took lego about a month to send it to me, so it had to sit there with an eye catching black hole right in the middle of the main mast.

damn, if I had money I'd definitely get into lego trains. Has anyone made any odd ones, like non-train shapes which just ride the powered functions along the track?
also this from that series of videos

I do.
I would love a couple buses, but I missed out on my chance to get one.

Haha, the fish hands/legs robutt is cute.
I never whirled the wheel at busses really, maybe i should.

Fuck, his cat must be so used to his train shenanigans. Our cats went nuts when I set up my meager tracks into a circle and ran my trains around it. They chased it and slammed into it and pawed it until it derailed.

Buses are literally boxes on wheels. This one is just stacking bricks, except for some upside down slopes on the rear. The hardest part is fitting all the seats inside, which is jumper plates.
It is 8 studs wide, which probably triggers scale layout autism. You do need 8 studs to get two rows of seats and an aisle.
I want to make an articulated light rail train to go along with it, but I don't have a good sliding door design
>>5632599
Holy shit, a use for minifig plates!
>>5632605
>Holy shit, a use for minifig plates!
Breh.
>>5632083
What's the croc-face suppose to be?
>>5632607
Woah, bro!
>>5632599
Have you tried making one 2 more studs wider? I'd image it would give a lot more room to work with
>>5632541
Man, I wish I could own the helicarrier, but it's extremely big, and I don't have a place to put it.
>>5632619
I think 8 is the sweet spot. Right now the number of seats maps nicely to a real bus, where every pair of seats is one seat. Adding two studs is enough for 3 seats per row, but still only room for two fat little minifigs.
7 studs wide would be nice visually but fucking disgusting to build, and I can't have two seats face the aisle at once.

misplacing lego is the worst. I have no idea where some minifigs like the ufo guy or jango fett and general grievous went, or if they were pocketed by visiting kids who I let play with my lego
>>5632702

>>5632625
You mean the big Marvel one with all the neat minimodels? I was tempted to get that myself, but yeah, no where to put that thing cus it's a huge brick essentially. Was also a bit disappointed with how the bottom/back looks when checking it out, and the lack of any real colour contrast combined with stickers saved my wallet that day. If I had more disposable income I'd still cave though.
>>5632702
>>5632751
Ever since I was a kid I've been paranoid of this. One day the babysiter invited the whole neighbourhood over to play with our lego dioramas when me and my brother were "grounded" and so many minifigs and parts went missing (not to mention other toys I'm sure) before parents came home. To this day I'm still not sure what exactly got swipped.
