[shilling intensifies]

Example please? I'm sure I can think of one I'd be interested in

>>4284683
Put together a set using your collection that could theoretically be packaged and sold as a polybag impulse buy.

So I saw four of those Chima Gorilla Striker sets on clearance at Target today for $25 each, but passed on them. How badly did I fuck up? On one hand, I don't give a shit about Chima, but on the other hand, all of those parts and that bigass gorilla mecha.

You guys are misunderstanding. You're in charge of creating a MOC of 30-40 pieces.

>>4284707

Yup

An idea for a browser plugin:

When on bricklink while browsing a store it will display the average price of an item next to the vendor's price.

Would really help to quickly gauge what is worth buying without going back and forth to the catalog to look at lists of this shit.

Anyone have the pic of the "impossible" build that puts a technic axle in a place where it can't be removed?

>>4284705
Kind of fucked up if you're interested in the pieces. Even at MSRP its a good price, and you can sell of the minifigs you don't to make back most if not all of what you spend. My advice would just be to check back tomorrow, my local Target has them reduced and they're still not moving.

>>4284726
Yes.

>>4284772
This is a fantastic idea actually. I'm surprised there isn't a full plugin pack for Bricklink, actually. There's a lot of info that could be worked in to each page.

>>4284803
I don't, but as someone will inevitably point out when it is posted: it's not an impossible build. Using a knife or pin, you can make contact with the red axle through the slot to push it out.

Probably not what you're talking about but I did that once when I was a kid. I took a 1st-gen Toa torso, then stuck one of those axle connectors with a hole in the middle in the top and held it in with 2 2-long axles. I still have it lying around.

I'm actually not that much of a Bionicle fan. Hell, I didn't even know Gali was a girl until this year. I just have way too much faith in leaked set lists, since I've never seen a false one. Add to that TLG requesting the leaked display to be taken down, and tada! I'm convinced enough to make a piss bet for the sake of entertaining my fellow anons and prepping my palate for the post-apocalyptic wastes.

Conversely, I don't understand how you're so pissed off that someone believes in something that you don't.

Now, Half Life 3, I'm surprised you didn't jump on that one as being farfetched.

Rumors are fun to talk about. So let's do it some more - what's rumored to be coming out?

-New Bionicle line
-Bunch of new boring City Police shit(j/k, they're okay)
-Detective Agency modular(no idea how solid this rumor is, sounds too good to be true)
-minifig-scale Minecraft(or does this count as confirmed?)

I want to know what LEGO's next space-theme will be.

>>4284876
You can actually shift that assembly to one side and shimmy a knife in the resulting gap. Catch on the axle with it and push it out a smidge. Then pull out the knife and repeat until the axle is out far enough to grab. Repeat on the other side and you're golden.

Was this a no minifigs auction or VIP points purchase?

>>4284941
I'd go for it, if only because a reduced price is the only way you'll get close to a fair price on any Arctic set. While the review probably mentioned it, those oranges are all going to be slightly different shades, if that's something that will deter you.

Going by US MSRP, all of the Arctic sets are over 10¢ a piece, meaning they're all priced similar to licensed sets. I don't know how well this converts to other countries, with the already inflated prices on most sets however.

>>4285016
Also not impossible. If they could be gotten in via stressing the tubes, they can be gotten out the same way.

It's confirmed.

>priced similar to licensed sets
Licensed sets don't actually cost more than regular sets, usually they're close to or less in cost than the non-licensed sets of the same price point.

Of course, that's price-per-piece. If we're going by price-per-weight, although it might not really differ all that much, you'll see that the Arctic sets are priced rather fairly, since they use large-ish pieces like the boat hull, or the plane nose.

Of course, there are exceptions such as the Marvel X-Jet, but I think hulls were used there too.

>>4285060
Thank you. I'll compare the pics with my folder, but it's nice to see I wasn't the only one who saved some Power Digger glory.

>>4285064
How does it feel to know that you will never be a master builder?

Is there a place anyone can donate legos to people who need them? I want to start building neat stuff, but I am poor and don't have enough lego bricks to do anything at the moment...I was hoping to find a place where older builders can pass on their bricks to 'newer' generations.

>>4285220
No, because Lego parts are not a "need" if you are poor. Food, clothing, shelter, medicine, those are needs. Toys are not a need.

>>4285220

Trying to decide between the Turtle Lair Attack and the Joker's steamroller. Hmmm. The latter doesn't seem to have too much appeal beyond the figs.

>>4285721
i find that all superhero sets are pretty boring beyond the minifigs

>>4285727
I agree with you with the exceptions of the X-Jet and Lex Luthor's mech; both are great. Almost all of the others, not so much.

>>4285727
A lot of them feel like "well, we have to put SOMETHING into those sets" and so we get stuff like Trevor's bumper car, Killian's speedboat, Deadpool's heli, the Hydra Tank and so on.
And yet on the other hand obvious stuff like the Fantasticar or a Ghost Rider on his bike gets ignored.

Guys what are some good polybags to buy?

>>4285636

>>4285607
I've taken plenty of their arms out and swapped them around. Have not had any problems. Just use caution.

Even if you do break something, it's like they're pricey.

A regular lego arm will probably be fine, but there's a possibility it'll be a little too loose or a little too tight. The connections are slightly different. but it should work.

>>4285607
in FACT I know for sure I used a grey arm from a regular lego fig for my winter soldier and didn't have any problems.

Well, send it to where you are now if you have friends/family that can resend it to your home address if you miss it, otherwise just send it to your home. That's just what I'd do. Ir's up to you really.

Plas' legs are just black with printed red, though. I don't think they can produce double injection regular legs yet.

However, it's entirely possible to start seeing more of the new short legs and arms in regular sets, since they first appeared in S@H set Simpsons House rather than the CMF series.

I've been searching for some for awhile now but still haven't found any. I know a few threads back there was an anon that dumped a breakdown of a build that he had copied. You might try scouring the archives for that or they might be lurking and be able to repost. Aside from that, if you do find anything please share. I'm in a similar state of having recently reacquired my preteen mother lode of Bionicle with absolutely no idea how to make complex bodies.

Also, somewhat unrelated, but do you have a flickr I could follow?

This guy reporting in again.
About to purchase, should I take out some of each and throw in different 3 in 1's or what?

So why did LEGO stop using printed pieces and now almost always use stickers instead?

Shouldn't LEGO care about quality first? I mean, no matter how good those stickers are they WILL peel soon or later.

If I used white poster-tack to support minifigures in poses, would that damage the plastic?

>>4287390
Last set I bought had printed pieces. Haven't bought one since.

>>4287390
Kids like stickers? I dunno, it's probably just cheaper.

>>4287390
I think they are cheaper. Some people say they like stickers because this way they have the option to apply them to other pieces or use the pieces without them.

I like printed pieces and never apply stickers to my sets.

>>4287390
Two reasons. First off, the cost. Stickers are much cheaper, and last long enough (multiple years at least if you don't toss the stickered parts in a parts bin). Second, the non-permanence. Stickered parts are more useful for those buying sets with the intent of building other things - you don't have to apply the stickers, and they can be removed. Think of, say, the Chima stuff - those sets are great parts packs, but wouldn't be if all those gimmicky stickers were printed parts.

>>4287390
>>4287403
>>4287405

I just wish they'd keep printing any and all control panels, full stop. They're still reusing the 1X2 tile introduced in the 2002 SW Ep 2 sets, but I'm seeing 1X2 cheese slopes with stickers more and more.

In keeping with the thread challenge of the week, we welcomed a new addition to the desk-access pile, a polybag that appealed to the current... aesthetic?

Is there a site that has a bunch of pics of alternate builds for specific sets? Whether they're MOCs or the pics on the back of the box, I'd be interested, especially if they come with instructions.

It was mostly, however, because Bob really wanted a hat. I mean, he wants a chevron vest, too, but one out of two ain't bad.

Problem is, the hats these days are made by a different factory and you can feel a difference in the minifig plastic (if you can't already see a difference in the color.)

Anyway, there was this guy who looked like Gordon Freeman, who looked like he was going to be taking over.

So I stumbled across pic related while looking around google images and that lead me to this site http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_BIONICLE_Wiki It has an assload of custom bionicle mocs, ocs and other crap. I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find something useful.

Of course, we had the option of starting out with the instructions like a good construction worker would... But, not only is that not the point of the challenge, but the weird-scale cherry picker-ish build they have here wasn't all that appealing in the first place.

No, to get the job done, we obviously needed the help of a robot.
Of course, there's not a whole lot to work with here, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what I can do by combining with the Power Digger. Maybe I can complete a decent forklift build this time.

To Be Continued...

Lego has a few alt builds with instructions for some sets or combination of sets, but rebuilding a single set into different models isn't really a thing so far as I know.

>>4287799
We're already close to autosaging and have less than 100 images.

Post away!

It's the power digger built without opening the bag I think, this deserves it's own collage

On a related note, I put my VIP Retro Spaceman and his robot buddy together in their bag without opening it

Starting to into lego mechs my self.
I have a box full of parts from sets that I got from friends and family I didn't want to put together. So I can build probably 10-15 mechs, with, or without minifigure compatibility.

>a site that has a bunch of pics of alternate builds for specific sets

Rebrickable.com seems like what you're looking for. It's all MOCs. You can enter in what sets you have, and it will tell you what MOCs you can build. Some MOCs are just rebuilds of a complete set, some MOCs use multiple sets, and some are just random collections of pieces.

Amazon has the police and fire stations about 25-30% off.

Looking at this is painful. Look at the quality of that packaging. The clear explanation that you can use regular Lego bricks with Duplo bricks. All the pictures of alternate build possibilities.

I'd be more inclined as a parent to purchase a Lego set for my child if they still did packaging like that today. I get that market tastes change, but still. It was so inspiring! I wish Lego hadn't quit doing it. I don't think ideas being on the internet is a good enough excuse to not show at least one alt build on the packaging. They used to do that shit for little 20 piece sets, even.

Ain't it though? Nothing better than acquiring or re-building a set you played with when child

I'm about to order most of the 3in1 creator sets and do this.

I've been trying to find out why people use bricklink. Everything is expensive as hell.
