Monthly Building Challenge:
Your challenge this month is to design a Microfighter for a vehicle that doesn't have one yet. It can be of any property, as long as it has 100 or less pieces, seats 1 minifig, and is cute and chibi. Get swooshing!

I'm still salty that Microfighters wave 3 was utter shit. Which is a shame because first two waves were pretty solid, with first one being one of my all-time favourite series.

>AT-DP that looks like crap
>Wookie Gunship and Snowspeeder that appeared in Rebels and TFA for 5 seconds
>X-Wing and TIE fighter that are complete rehashes

Only "good" one is Ghost and even then I don't like the design of the ship that much.
>>
>>5776585
I don't own one; no interest in SW, and the parts aren't particular interest to me either.
That said, it's still pretty common. Not really that rare, and some TRU stores may even still have a few in stock.
The rarity really comes into play when sets/polybags/minifigs are promotional items.
In Threepio's case, he was just exclusive to my knowledge. I believe you could buy as many as you wanted.

The most recent "rare" I can think of is the silver centurion they gave out with the lego avenger's game at gamestop if you preordered it.

These types of doors aren't awful/retarded looking to use, are they?

I like the height of the x3 slopes, but they're a tad too wide on top, while the x2 slopes look better in profile but aren't quite tall enough.
>>
>>5776639
Not bad.
Really depends on how they're implemented into the rest of the build though.

Hm... As for the wideness, Try making the 1x2 plate a 2x2 plate, with a 1x4 tile on top of that with a 1x2 plate under it/next to the 1x2 hinge. That would fix the thickness while giving the height that the 1x3 slopes provide.

It's pretty retarded. It's almost as if they intentionally picked the least interesting / most obscure vehicles imaginable and made a whole wave outta them. Like who the fuck was the one who sat down and said 'Hey, you guys know Kylo-Ren's command shuttle, the most iconic first-order vehicle from the force awakens? Yeah well for our next wave of microfighters I was thinking we have the snowspeeder instead of that.'

OK /lg/, I need your help.

I finally stopped being lazy and registered for Bricklink to get the parts for this, but when I try uploading the file it says it couldn't find one of the parts in the catalog.

Think you might be able to help?
>>
>>5777408
Were you using Rebrickable, or uploading LXF directly? Because there was something about if the part was added to LDD on the latest patch, Bricklink doesn't recognize it.

Don't quote me on this one, though.
>>
>>5777412
Direct LXF upload.
>>
>>5777408
Bet its color related. It seems LDD uses a weird system for the colors (may be that it still lists original colors). So far every one of those "error, cant find the item in our system" for me has been color related.
>>
>>5777408
I think it's most likely one of the white diagonal 2x2 plates at her wrists, AFAIK it's a new part and like >>5777412 says, parts from the LDD update are causing errors when uploading LXF files to cracklink.

Maybe I should just keep all CMF in one, and move everything else to another, but that's still not gonna help on the long run. If only I had money and space for a Modular, I'd place all the figs on it.

So I bought Poe's X-Wing the other day. Decent enough set. I'll admit that I thought the new X-Wings looked retarded when they were first revealed, but they've grow on me a bit. Still not as good looking as the originals.

But I was wondering, are there any major differences between Poe's X-Wing and the Resistance X-Wing, other then colour and the removable "hyperdrive" at the back?
Like if I bought the Resistance X-Wing, could I take apart Poe's X-Wing and swap all the Orange parts for all the Blue parts on the Resistance X-Wing, leaving me with a Black and Blue X-Wing and a Gray and Orange X-Wing? Or are there differences that would make this hard/require substantial rebuilds and work arounds?

Also, what do you think the chances are that future OT Rebel Pilots will feature a helmet with a built in visor similar to the new Resistance one?
>>
>>5778380
I don't have the newest set yet, but any changes look minimal and even if you can't do that straight out of the box, I can't imagine you'd have to replace too many pieces. Sounds fun.
>>
>>5778380
I was very close to buying it when it was 89€ here, but I bothered to. Then every single store boosted it to 100€, and at that point I was like "fuck it", and got the 1999 X-Wing instead.

It's surprisingly solid one, for being 17 years old

What's the best type of paint to use on minifigures/bricks? What about sealants to stop the paint rubbing off?

>>5778464
Most likely paints that are intended for gaming minifigures are your best bet.

I have a bit of /tg/ background. I actually left the hobby after Games-Workshop got rid of all their old paints and released a bunch of not-quite the sames with fuck all notice.

I probably should mention too, I'm not looking at full repaints. One of the projects I'm working on is some Old Post-RotJ SW EU minifigs, namely Luke's New Jedi Order. These minifigs are pretty much all just part swaps and what not. But that won't really work for Lowbacca.
Lowbacca, Chewie's Jedi nephew, has a distinctive black stripe, that runs from just above his left eye, up over his head and down his back.
I have a wookie figure (from the Wookie Gunship Minifighter) that I'm going to use as a base.

Then it really depends on if it's for play or display.
A tiny detail brush, like a tiny rigger might work if you use an acrylic that's thinned slightly with acetone.

I know, I know, acetone melts abs. I'm making an assumption that a trace amount might allow for paint penetration. Never really tried it, but it's my best guess.

Test on some bricks before you make the final step, Anon.

Apart from some bricks with axle holes and balljoint pieces for mechs i also got more of the ant-man giant ant set wings. My reasoning was that the price will only rise as children will break the rather frail plastic film in a few years and the minifigs are already expensice as fuck.

My mother always talked about how she thought the pirateship wich she gave to my older brother back in the day (wich was actually a redcoat ship) was so awesome. So i'm planning on finally using the hull again, even though i'm more of a space/city dude. But i'm gonna make a giant flying fantasy ship out of it instead, since i don't want to make a redcoat affiliated thing. I already started building it, but i just found out i don't have that many brown pieces left.

So I just placed my Bricklink orders, and now I have some red boxes with check boxes inside them. One of them's next to something that's already begun shipping.

Anyone here ever buy a set and immediately realize you only bought it for the minifigs? I just did this with the Ra's Al Ghul set. Desert Batman looks like he is ready to take on Isis, Ra's is cool as shit, Talia has been reworked into a very sexy Jean Grey and Damien Robin is currently posted on Ebay. The set itself is garbage.

I mostly splurged a lot on minis on bricklink if i wanted them. I gathered such a fun bunch of my main mocced minis that the sets i buy now i almost never use the minifigs of even once.

It helps that i don't give a fuck about most licensed properties. Those sets are often less focused on builds and more on exclusivity of figs.

Did you get two dragon's heads onto one lump? Cus that's the first step. Making dragons is hard. Just because you didn't make the king ghidorah rivaling nightmare doesn't mean you didn't make progress. Throw more bricks at it and post up a picture for us to help you with. You can only fail so many times before you make something great!

it's pretty neat. honestly i like sharx more than i expected, probably more than the other two or the max. his hat has two pieces that i think are like racing fenders? I feel like given some wheels and axels the pirates are primed to make cooler cars, tanks or rovers than mechs, which is a bit odd for mixels, but not unwelcome.

If you post pics some people here'll have suggestions, no doubt.

and every MOC I post here has gone through a couple cycles of 'well that sucks Ima try something else' and I end up with a small pile of rejected parts; ending up with something that doesn't work isn't really failure but just part of building.

Guilty of this. Bought the set on discount at least just for the two armour pieces it came with. I once bought a Speed Champion set mostly for the windshield it came with to complete another MOC with. Talked myself out of getting anohter Superman set just for the swept black hair. Luckily have a partner who I listens to my reasons and she laughs at them which snaps me back to reality.

Saught? Personally, I have seen people really looking for Stitch, Buzz, and Mickey. In that order. Those were also mostly for boys. The girls seem to want Ariel or Alice. The adults are happy with anything, but they do seem to want Malificent or the mice/ducks the most. Nobody wants the Green Alien (he is one of my favorites though). So if I had to rank them-

S: Stitch, Buzz
A: Mickey, Ariel, Alice
B: Alice, Minnie, Donald, Daisy
C: everyone else
D: Green Alien

Opinions are welcome

OK guys, I've kinda run into another problem with my Bricklink orders. Basically, all of the other orders have been packed and are currently shipping by this point, but the last one still says pending, even though I've already sent the money for payment (and later sent an email to the vendor just to make sure that it came in).

Is this sort of thing normal, or should I be worried?

The instruction booklets all have parts inventories on the last page. If you're up to it, you could organize the parts into the sets that they make up, and then sell each set individually for maximum profit.

If you're feeling lazy, sell the whole lot on eBay for 100 USD.

Your second option is 75874 Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race, seemingly the cheapest 2016 set with both leg assemblies in the colors you need.

Just checking, you know this sticker exists, right?

It's pretty much a karaoke video, might be of use.

They are called Bluebbery and Muffins silly 4chan being.

But you can make names for these gals though. I call them Seniorita Purpur and Violent Violet by now.
The one with Ursula face is a techno Witch with annoying voice, and Violet is her daughter. She made herself using UV mutation on a piece of Iluzyt (magical stone from my world).
Violet is still not sure which side she want to be as she likes to desroy stuff as much she likes to experience the new world around her.

>mfw one online store has -40% sale this weekend
>it's only for the most expensive item on the cart, and you can use it twice a day until next Monday

So I can technically get 6 sets for -40%. Stay still my heart. Think of my poor wallet.

The one on the right looks cool! Reminds me of my cyberpunk geisha bountyhunter thing, still one of my favourite mini's after all these years. I love how the mohawk piece works way better "backwards".

Why is Torts holding his slime spray effects the wrong way?

Yeah I also loved that look you posted, let's say it's a tribute to you!

I like it more that way because they looks like hands with slime dripping down
