Let me get this M O T H E R F U C K I N G straight
So I did a quick bricklink search, I clicked elves I saw Farran (the elf guy) goes for 2$??
Is this for real?
Is this the same generally? Wow eBay sure looks fucking stupid now.
>>5724982
friends and elves figs are cheap in BL, sometimes the entire fig is cheaper than buying the hairpiece it comes with.
Does anyone else wish Lego would release more buildings in there themes? I'd rather buy a section of the batcave rather than a bat-dune buggy. I feel like the only series that has a good building to vehicle ratio right now is Nexo Knights.
>>5725010
Kind of. I like set pieces with substance to them. Picked up my first modular and will be building it tomorrow. It'll be the first major building set I've had since I was a wee kid.

Hold up, this motherfucker is 0.04 CENTS?
What the fuck? And min buy is none? Is he gonna just ship it to me or what?
How does this work?
Also let's say I buy a couple of things from different stores do they all come at the same time or one at a time? How does shipping work?
I did something with some of the pieces from the flash speeder
>>5725025
Each store is a different store. So you need to pay for the items and shipping from each store you buy from.
>>5725033
So that shit is 0.04 cents? Like how does that work? Bet you shipping is like 50$.
>>5725039
Read their splash page. It will probably tell you their shipping terms.
Which store are you looking at

Very cute. Slap some greebling on the nose (some 1x3 tiles, maybe?)
Summer's here, and that means
THE GREAT LEGO QUEST SUMMER SPOOKY GIRL GIVEAWAY CONTEST
is happening right now!
Everyone in the Lego General has the chance to win their very own mint-in-bag Spooky Girl! Just make a summer-related MOC and take a picture of it (with timestamp) and post it in this thread along with an email. Once ten people have entered or it's June 15, the one that makes me laugh the most will win a free Spooky Girl!
This contest is open to everyone in the world, but it's only for people who don't already have a Spooky Girl of their own! If you already have one, please be nice and let someone else have a chance!
Offer ends June 15, 2016.

Did you know: After making The Goonies, they tried to find a home for the set piece ship they had made, but no one was willing to take it so it was scrapped?
>>5725260
Do not buy Raven for the fig.
Now they have pieces so in 2017 will make a normal fig of her.

139
plus or minus a couple
>>5725283
Would be perfect for Yondu though
>>5725221
Same, man. He's got a real tight design and I'd love a minifig.
The 4 small engine parts here are really Lego. Admittedly the rest is mixed chinky. (Enlighten, Kazi and MGB)
So, working on some miniland figures and fuck they look weird.
Anyone got any tips for making minland figures?
>>5725441
I like this one enough to break out the chinese heresy stickers.
>>5724944
Where the Gremlins set leaks at?
>>5725451
I really like these, heresy-anon.
That minifig torso's weird, looks kinda like Blacktron in white.
>>5725454
I hope the gremlin figs have long arms like they do in the movies.
Where were you when the greatest lego ideas set ever, of all time, was announced?
>>5725486
Fingers crossed it'll come with minifigures of the Apollo 11 crew.
>>5725053
>digital zoom
>acting like physical zoom
Okay no.
>>5725486
Why do they consistently choose the shittiest ones?
>>5725496
digital zoom is basically auto cropping, right?
it lets you zoom in and out using the physical zoom while keeping the minifig the same size.
that way, the background changes in size/blur
>>5725458
I also hope that.
>>5725501
No. Digital zoom is a crop of the middle (usually) of the image on the sensor, which is then upscaled to fit the full image size and usually has a blur filter applied. Changing the digital zoom won't change the appearance of the tower relative to Lego guy's head.
Actual physical zoom will change the perspective of a photo as well- distant objects will appear closer and a scene will appear "flatter" the longer your focal length, which is what you describe with
>it lets you zoom in and out using the physical zoom while keeping the minifig the same size.
>that way, the background changes in size/blur
Why would a setting named digital zoom change the physical zoom?
>>5725508
Also, keep in mind that Googling for examples of this will never give you good results- everyone just crops part of a full image and edits it to simulate digital vs optical zoom, but none of them take into account the difference in perspective that your optical zoom makes.
>>5725509
*difference in perspective that your zoom forces you to make yourself by getting closer to the subject, which will change how everythinge else looks.
Fuck it, I'm no /p/otato, this stuff is hard to put into werds.
>>5725486
Still waiting for them to do that
>>5725508
no i meant you use the physical zoom to zoom in and out, and then you use digital zoom to reframe the minifig.
imagine you're far away from the minifig:
-if you zoom in physically, the background will look more blurry and closer to the foreground.
-if you zoom in digitally, the background will look more in focus and slightly farther away
>>5725530
Background blur is dependent on aperture, not just zoom. Raise the aperture far enough and the background will be as sharp as the foreground regardless of zoom.
>>5725535
*ackhually* you have to lower aperture to be more in focus, but even then there are constraints because of light. if you don't have enough light you gotta keep it wide open to get more light in and stuff will get more blurry. but i guess that with lego you can just increase exposure time. unless you have a cheap point and shoot that doesn't let you do that.
Someone asked in the last thread if there was a Bane bigfig. Well, there isn't one yet.
However, we do have this from the LEGO Batman Movie trailer.
>>5725541
Lowering the aperture, raising the f/stop. Tomato, potato.
>>5725161
Between Harry Potter and Gizmo, below the "YOU", is that Donnie Darko? Are they making Donnie Darko Legos?
>>5725579

>from sonic adventure
you kids dont even remember classic Sonic?
>>5725591
Sonic 2 was released in 1992 anon, most people here weren't born by then
>>5725544
I'm really curious if we will get that figs.
And as I love that classic crock head that was a stupid move to use it... It's just look bad because styles clash.
>>5725279
>Did you know: After making The Goonies, they tried to find a home for the set piece ship they had made, but no one was willing to take it so it was scrapped?
Didn't they burn it in the bay right there where they filmed the last scene?
>>5725284
This is ALWAYS how it works.
Lego reuses pieces all the time.
poultry monsters in nexo knights when?
>>5725601
I have a strong feeling that a majority of these characters are gonna be released -- all of the villains for sure. Whether it'll be in regular sets, polybags, DVD pack-ins or SDCC is to be seen. The LEGO Movie was really good at releasing all of the new and unique characters as real plastic, with few exceptions (pic related).
>>5725618
Oh that's actualy creates a good questions - Will we get Batman Movie minifigure series? That would be nice!
>>5725508
>>5725530
I don't claim to be a photography expert, but my potato calls it "digital zoom", it changes the depth of field (?) in a different way than the manual zoom does, and these three pics were taken without moving the camera's position. But like I said, I am not an expert at this.
>>5725626
in those 3 pics the physical zoom changes, that's what changes the depth of field.
digital zoom can only crop the picture.
>>5725629
Well, my camera calls it digital zoom, and I made the guide based on my potato, so I assume anyone (like you) who actually knows anything about it won't need as much hand-holding and probably won't be using a potato.
Good to know, though.
>>5725633
yup-
basically the top picture is zoomed out physically and zoomed in digitally.
the bottom picture is zoomed in physically without any digital zoom.
The general idea is that with physical zoom, when you zoom in you make everything "flatter" (BG looks closer to FG) and when you zoom out you make everything "deeper" (BG looks farther away than FG). so with physical zoom you control how the BG looks in relation to the FG.
Then, to frame the subject properly, you can 1) move closer/further away 2) crop the shot in post 3) zoom in/out with digital zoom - the result should be pretty much the same (correct me if i'm wrong)
All /p/ wankery aside, i think ultimately the guide makes sense and works anyways.
All this photography talk makes me want to get a proper camera to take some pics. I'm currently working my phone's camera (xperia Z3) but I would love to improve my pics with non-digital zoom.
I can't even play with my lego aymore because of her
>>5725053
It's a good guide, but I don't think you should tell people to just "lower the ISO" without explaining what it does, and that you have to either increase the aperture or add more lights to balance it out.
Still, nice guide, wish I had anything summery here to enter the competition.

What's the trick to getting two minifigs to sit comfortably in a 6-wide car? How hard is it to make something that looks good without using mudguards? How hard is it to get all the shit to line up right like that in the first place? Is there ever a good use for the double-height doors? How detailed can you make an interior at minifig scale without it getting cramped?
>>5725668
Also, how common are 7-wide cars? Is 8 wide too wide to look good and stay at minifig scale and proportionate to itself? How do I tie a Windsor knot?
>>5725668
I'm >>5725666 this guy;
Here's a quick mockup of two ways of fitting two figs side by side, with different doors, as you can see there's room for other stuff there too, and mudguards are not necessary.
It -will- be cramped, but that's really just the nature of Lego.
>>5725668
>What's the trick to getting two minifigs to sit comfortably in a 6-wide car?
pic related
>How hard is it to make something that looks good without using mudguards?
The speed champions and regular mudguards work pretty well in six-wide scale, yes. But other techniques are possible as well (will post in a followup post)
>How hard is it to get all the shit to line up right like that in the first place?
Uh, dunno? Getting a stable chassis needed some serious fucking around time for me though.
>Is there ever a good use for the double-height doors?
I don't use them myself but >>5725666
made it work apparently.
>How detailed can you make an interior at minifig scale without it getting cramped?
My interiors only have room for a steeringwheel and two studs next to it that you can use for a console or something.
>>5725670
7-wide is something i want to try myself sometime. But 8 wide is too disproportionate for my tastes
>>5725670
7 wide is definitely possible, however I would learn to crawl before running a marathon. Lego gets way more complex when working with odd widths, though I see plenty of nice models on Eurobricks and similar.
8 wide I'd steer away from, unless it's a really heavy duty truck or something.
Here's a 6-wide 4 seater I made, it's got a lot of room in the back for luggage and stuff without looking disproportionately huge.
Also, once again, without mudguards. It's not difficult, if anything, it makes it easier since you don't have to reserve so much space for the mudguards.
>>5725675
>>5725676
Thank you.
I've been trying to put the jumper plates reaching to the outside with doors right above that, which leaves an empty peg in the middle for a center console (which can look pretty alright but makes everything super cramped and makes the doors a big flustercuck that can't even be solved with the tall tile things).
>>5725681
Damn, that's neat. Not a huge fan of the sloped headlights, but those are super common now to use apparently?
Gives me inspiration nonetheless. Someday I'll make something cool and post it here.
>>5725689
I personally like them, mostly for adding more shape and depth to the front.
And I'm looking forward to see your stuff, anon. Fresh builds are always nice to see.
>>5725656
That's right. The Cyberman Fun Pack came out during Year One of the line.
>>5725675
Oh shit you used the same technique i thought i made up myself!

here's two different samey brickbuilt wheelarches that allow for headlights also. Courtesy of some third anon that was building a cab.

ex. of jumper confusion and trying to make things too detailed and having no simple way to make the windshield play nice (other than not using a solid windshield but that's lame).
I guess no one uses those seats anymore, huh? Shame, I liked them.
>>5725692
I can see the appeal for sure, and it blew my mind that they even existed (something that I hope happens to everyone who gets back into Lego after over a decade when they discover all the new pieces), but I guess I just dig big square sealed beams and the types of cars that have them. 1x1 round flats are nice, too- why aren't those used more often instead of pegs?
>Fresh builds are always nice to see.
I don't think I'm going to have enough Lego stuff, to be honest. Still have to dig mine out and I know it's mostly old stuff with no fancy lights and doors and double-side-printed minifigs.
>>5725699
>the blue Harry Potter car,
I remember drooling over that as a kid because it was so much cooler and better looking than any cars I could make.

(sorry I meant Bright Light Orange)
>>5725657
https://www.flickr.com/photos/126975831@N07/
That flickr seems to be doing something. Bricklink does have a color guide and most of the pieces have photos, but they don't have reference points. You can basically google the color and add Lego in to get something.
>>5725725
Hmm, with some more space between the rows, I think there would be a way to make that work. But yeah, I don't use the seats, but that doesn't mean you can't use them.
As for making the windshield fit, you could try a 3x6x2 windshield, like the one I use in >>5725681
It's one stud "deeper" than the regular ones, which gives extra space between your figs and the windshield.

>We have a chance for Mixels joints in different colors
>>5725736
There's probably a way to make it work, but I'm a shitter and can't figure it out. The 3x windshield has little curve parts taken out so it'll fit on top of the tall doors, but the 2x doesn't, oddly; the 2x can be made to work just fine without the tall doors, but that means building the shorter doors up height wise or making a big ol' gap above them that would look weird.
I never had this much trouble when I was a kid making four by seven vehicles on the designated vehicle base with 2x4 windshields. For want of a nail I've stabbed myself in the foot!
[no spoilers]am i spamming by posting me fucking around in LDD in an attempt to re-learn lego
>>5725759
The brickbuilt figures are decent looking but it seems that they are going the minifig way.
Fortunately the Dimensions minifigs are decent looking, if we get this along with some non-vehicleshit sets, this might be a good theme overall, although it might as well sell quickly.
>>5725725
>1x1 round flats are nice, too- why aren't those used more often instead of pegs?
Imo they often look less modern.
And if we share Cars...
Here is a delivery car for my Minimafia.
how the fuck do so many people have tooth marks on their parts
>>5725788
All of these people used to be kids who had no access to glorious brick separators and had to resort to savagery.

>>5725676
7-wide is my preferred scale, at least when building SUVs and trucks. Give it a shot sometime, though you'll certainly have to get comfortable with offsets.
>>5725725 The problem I have with those seats is that not only do they raise your fig by a plate (which can screw up design dimensions) but they also take up a lot of room due to the back of the chair. I just sit my figs directly on the jumper plates, taking care of both those issues. Sure the interior might look a little bare, but that can be overcome to some degree. Plus functionality is a bit more important than aesthetics in this case (imo).
>>5725833

>7-wide is my preferred scale, at least when building SUVs and trucks. Give it a shot sometime, though you'll certainly have to get comfortable with offsets.
Not that anon, but is it reasonable to go 6-wide for coupes, sedans, wagons, etc; 7-wide for SUVs and trucks; 8-wide for semi trucks and oversized utility trucks, ambulances (rear), anything else bigger than standard; and 4-wide can go fuck right off?
>>5725161
>sanic
oh gosh
>>5725788
i'm 29 and just got my first separator this year
>>5725883
you beautiful wonderful trainwreck
>>5725860
I think if you're just starting to delve into vehicle making, that's a pretty good rule of thumb. Of course, everything is subject to opinion, and depending on the scale you're working in one size might be more viable than another. Personally I find 7-wide to be quite versatile, and build quite a few things in that scale (pic related).
>>5725891
I just kind of tossed that scale out there assuming you're using smaller wheels like the ones in your image or these sized ones because the standard big chunky wheels Lego puts on everything really look questionable on more realistic vehicles.

I like the bimo and litch king from the original set better. The first bimo is cute, and I like the brick mouth on the original litch king. Y'know, I also think the original Gunter looks cuter.
'sup /lego/.
I just found out about these polish knock-off legos with WW2 themed sets.
Has anyone any expierence with them?
>>5725915
>bimo
>litch
It's "BMO" and "lich", anon.
>>5725937
I've bought a bunch.
I have two Tiger IIs, the Panther, the Tiger the Flak 36, the StuG III, the Jagdpanther, the Hetzer and the two German cargo trucks.
I love the brand, they have pretty good quality and are fun to build.
>>5725937
Forgot to add, not really something you can fit Lego minifigs in without some effort.
I'm a tank nut, I love tanks but I can't have them without a good crew.
I know, I'm a heretic, but I love them to death.
>>5725937
>Has anyone any expierence with them?
just from the photo it looks like crap desu
Weak parts like those hooks in front, flimsy looking tracks. That minifig's fit to give me nightmares and the antenna's looking more like casting error than an actual piece.
I didn't know Cobi was Polish, I would've guessed Chink Knockoff Brand #4172

>has expierence with it
>finds it good
>>5725948
>>5725964
>have no expierence
>find it bad
I'm getting mixed messages here.
>>5725972
Don't listen to those fuckwits.
Just get yourself a small one, that is fairly cheap, and then judge from there.
There is no need spending money on the larger sets if you end up not liking them.
I think they are pretty good. I just love tanks, and I use them mainly for static display.
>>5725972
Even if I did have experience with it, I'd much prefer building with actual Lego.
I mean, if you don't particularly care about improving your Lego building skills then by all means go ahead and buy it. You do you, man.
>>5725948
>Not sure why Lego continues to use the standard chunky wheels, come to think of it.
Probably so there's more flexibility when kids are rebuilding them? That, and they look, well, more like wheels- big cartoony ones that a kid playing with Lego will draw. They don't want steelie wheels and thin tires- they're building the toy car of their dreams (or the last ten minutes of their imagination), not a '92 Honda Civic.
It's almost funny, 'cause in my opinion quite a few of their own vehicles (especially the smaller City ones) look way, way better with the non-chunky wheels.
>>5725984
Fuck me, dropped my image.
>>5725984
I suppose so. Hell, even I've used the standard wheels for a build or two, and I've seen other great builds that use them as well.
>>5725991
sick fukken ute ya cunt
>>5725838
Ha. In my old days no problem but unfortunately I'm buying my first home this month so extra spending is limited.
>>5725161
With Disney cancelling Infinity, do you think there's a chance that we'll get the Star Wars & Marvel set in Dimensions?
>>5726027
>Marvel
never EVER
Made a presidential motorcade today. looks pretty damn rad if i do say so myself
>>5726042
The citizens want to make Lego City great again! Look how many came to the motorcade!
>>5726045
Of course, only a man as high energy as the president could draw a crowd like this! Sporting a gold medal and a pet eagle, everyone is envious of him.
>>5726046
People even took to the rooftops to celebrate the Presidents arrival.
Protesters not included
>>5726027
Pretty possible, but it'll be a year or 2 of negotiations before we see anything.
I think we're more likely to see a Lego DC vs. Marvel game before that
>>5726046
I'm crying tears of ketchup and freedom.
>>5726057
god bless anon
>>5725986
What's the part # on those bottom tires?
Might get a few sets off of bricklink
>>5726027
No, Disney/Marvel will never work with their competition. Star Wars is quite unlikely as well, even though we have tons of normal sets for both Marvel and Star Wars. Feels like Disney is throwing away free money though.
>>5726074
93594. There's multiple wheels in that size with two different tire types- the tire you want is 51011 (17.5mm), the other tire type is so small it makes the whole assembly the same size as the dinky tiny wheels you see on go-karts and shit (you know the one).
There's also 5 and 8 spoke wheels in that size, but they look worse than the steelies IMO. All of them look kind of dinky if you're using mudguards most of the time, but leave 'em off and they'll look good.

The game is made by Warner Bros. Disney is notorious for not wanting to work with them. Shit like this is why the Gen 13 animated movie is tied up in legal red tape.
Even the Lego Movie had barely any SW presence and you get the feeling Disney felt they were being "generous" with that cameo.
You wish Eisner was back in charge!

This is downright niggardly. I just want my dark grey chains.

Toy Brick Brigade has 53 of them for less than 50 cents each.

Is there a better helmet I could use?
>>5725726
Out of all the fucking characters why lsp.
>>5726021
He's confirmed for a future release along with other franchises not featured in the latest dimensions video, according to a press release. Don't have the link at the moment.
>>5726244
Is Cthulu Priest the most common custom minifig? Because I have one too, based off a recommendation from this thread like a year ago.
>>5726270
Cthulu Priest confirmed for meme minifig.of the month.
I'll do it with a second Maleficent fig I just got today. I also have an army of Alient troopers that will make a nice congregation.
How do you get yourself to drop more than $100 on a single set without feeling guilty?
>>5726275
i only did that for slightly more socially acceptable sets, i.e. modulars and the 10231 shuttle
>>5726244
I like that trooper combo
Guess which movie these made me think of.
>>5726336
Warcraft?
>>5726339
No, not quite.
I can give you a hint: there are licensed Lego sets from it.
>>5726340
So... Warcraft.
>>5726341
I said it wasn't Warcraft.
>>5726336
The LEGO Movie?
>>5726341
Warcraft doesn't have sets licensed through LEGO
>>5726346
Clever, but no.
>>5726336
LOTR/Hobbit?
>>5726344
>>5726347
:^)
>>5726336
Lord of the Rings?
>>5726336
Star Wars? SpongeBob SquarePants? TMNT?
>>5726371
No, no, no.
It should be easier than that, if you think about the movies from which Lego have made licensed sets.
>>5726375
I am literally just going down the list of Licensed Lego themes...
The Angry Birds Movie?
>>5726375
Are we talkin' baseplates full of identical stormies here
>>5726375
...Nexo Knights?
>>5726336
Galidor?
>>5726275
By going for a set with a lot of rad bits that people are overcharging for separately
>>5726395
Iron Man 3
>>5726398
Congratulations, you got it.
>Got a discount on the Super hero Airport Battle along with a couple smaller sets and some disney minifigs
Been looking forward to get this solely for Giant-Man. it's going to be a comfy weekend.
Finally put my purple bricklink parts to use and made another monstertruck out of it.
>>5726401
That was not worth the wait.
Nothing too fancy build-wise but i fucking love purple and wanted to use the stickered hood piece.
>>5726401
surprisingly difficult to guess and also anti-climactic
>>5726416
Maybe, but it makes more sense than Spongebob and Angry Birds.
>>5726419
yeah i know that, the cars just cross over the green lines. But i have a lot of nostalgic value attached to them, so not sure if i'm gonna change them out. But i think the newer ones don't have the green line and would fit better.
>>5725161
Where in that pic did you get LEGO City from?
>>5726443
First row on the left appears to be a rebuilt Police vehicle.
>>5725937
Ok quality but design wise- they are very fragile.
>>5726082
I believe they actualy closed Infinity to focus on Dimensions. And I'm sure we will get SW and Disney Characters.
>>5726466
Source on that?
I wanna believe
>>5726466
I'd expect Marvel to join up as well, if Disney really did close Infinity for that. To be honest, I highly doubt that's the case, seeing as Dimensions is produced by Warner Bros, one of Disney's long-standing rivals.
>>5726474
I learned one - Noone will care as long it will make enough money.
>>5726474
On the other hand we wouldn't expect to have all these new IPs having a Lego presence 2 years ago.
Apparently the only non-viable addition would be Marvel since they are highly autistic over sharing their presence with DC, but I have yet to find a source that confirms this.
Disney, on the other hand, would not pass the chance to stay in the TTL market and get an additional profit thanks to the Lego tax.
