Hey fagbot, build that with actual bricks and see how much it sags. I hate CAD only designs on Ideas because they don't even bother trying to build it before expecting 10,000 people to blindly support it.

>>4538670
Fun fact: the iss is more usefull as a lego model than an actual space station.

Polandbro, don't know if you saw it, but your President Business minifig pulled double-duty in the last episode of LQ, playing two characters!

The first one was "irradiated businessman #471", seen here wandering around inside the Octan convenience store.

So the guy on Brickset who leaked the news about the Detective's Office months ago said LEGO's doing a Ferris Wheel to go with Fairground Mixer, and a kid-friendly monster theme(not a sequel to Monster Fighters), that may or may not be licensed.

Went with the white stripes, and tried changing the roof to white too. Not sure how I feel about this, might switch back to grey.

Also I made a small flatcar to hold some trees in. Besides the steam engine and box car I already have, should I add one more thing to it?

Does anybody have that picture showing why Power Digger is such a great little set? The one wtih a lot of photos on it? I need it for, uh, inspiration?

>>4538883
In my humble opinion, you need the roof to pop a little less, maybe black of dark grey, avin the colors be less of a structural presence, putting a little bit of gold, could warm up everything a little bit, making more Christmassy.

Why not develop your own modular castle standard? That way you can make a whole bunch of castle parts and rearrange them however you want

It's more inspired by the Modular Buildings sets then the simpler castle sets you are referring to, but it works

>>4539050
>>4539056
They should go back to the old style where each set provides a section of wall or such, and you connect them as you collect them into a big castle.

I just found http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/7126_Battle_Droid_Carrier sitting on a shelf behind some other stuff, forgotten. It's missing a few parts, and the six normal battle droids are gone, but the pilot is there. I have no idea where the parts went or where the droids are, and I don't even remember buying old Star Wars sets. I thought I only started this year. But I also recently found a red lightsaber with chrome handle and a Qui-Gon with yellow face, missing his hair and lightsaber. So... Apparently I got at least two sets back in the day.

God I hope they do. My best guess is that now that the Hobbit/LotR series are on their last waves, when they restart the castle line again they will be more creative as they wont see it as a competitor for the movie lines.

I never realized how much I wanted Lego Scooby-Doo until now. I don't see how they could make a full theme out of it, but the Mystery Machine would work as a standalone set, and someone already put a great one on Ideas.

A bunch of Bionicle-pieces

>>4539265
I like it more that way. How about some brown wooden doors ?

>>4539276
>>4539278
And a few set specific pieces, but mostly decorative stuff, practical pieces are almost all here.

>>4539277
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated was pretty cool, but this new Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! series just sounds (and especially LOOKS) retarded. Less serious, no depth, meaningless reboot. The art is blatantly cheap and looks like poorly drawn versions of the characters that we would expect to see from a quick one-off reference in a show like Uncle Grandpa.

It'll hopefully be canceled before Season 1 even finishes, if we're lucky.

>>4539277
What the fuck is this ?

>>4539277
In terms of minifigures, the designs that fail to be cool wouldn't look any different from the originals.

>>4539297
I think it will end up like Get a Clue - runs for a few seasons, but then everybody forgets it even existed.

>>4539297
Yeah, Mystery Incorporated kicked ass.

>>4539314
>>4539297
Dunno, if it's getting LEGO sets, Warner must REALLY be pushing the marketing this time around. Could turn into something big like the new TMNT.

>>4539325
But the new TMNT series is actually GOOD.

>>4539329
It's not about appreciation of the show, but views/cost ratio. So they can go with full marketing on the spending, and make it made by a shitty team...

>>4539146
>I have some white pieces that have yellowed horribly. Is there any way to fix this or should I just order replacements?
I can't vouch for this, but I've heard Oxy recommended a lot:

I think it's the rendering that makes it weird...

Maybe by making the bottom white stripe brown too...

It still looks weird, the brown stripe just make it look stranger.

Also I changed the roof back to light grey, since the 2x4 slope doesn't come in dark grey.

>>4539433
Yeah, those stripes would be better black, isn't there a darker brown for the door ?

Considering this is a christmas train, I'd like to keep the stripe white. It looks alright, but I don't want to stray away from that.

You guys know that TLG can't do Scooby-Doo sets, right?

>>4539511
Make the doors and striping white. Makes the doors stand out and keeps the color scheme a bit more cohesive.

>>4539511
I didn't mean all of them, just the botom line, the white is perfect.

>>4539533
Maybe instead of black, since that will blend into the cart bit, he should use the gray he used on the roof? Makes it a bit more like a color sandwich of sorts.

This has probably been brought up in many Lego threads, but I don't lurk here often.

Are these total shit? I'm in it for the novelty for sure. If they're compatible, frankly they seem like a decent deal for the price as long as they don't fall apart upon playing with.

They look like a bunch of different brands of knockoffs thrown together to me, and that image is really badly photoshopped together, but the guy seems to have a good ebay rep.

>>4539545
if you're a purist piece of shit, they suck. but I like that knock off brand (decool) some.... not too much, but I actually buy a lot of those

>>4539560
theyre all decool

>>4539564
Oh, I didn't know. It looked to me like they had a number of stylistic differences in there, but I guess they just have different groups working on them or something.

Also, because they do the Kim Possible lip thing, Black Widow looks like she has a mustache.

>>4539545
That's not a good price for the quantity. I pay about the same unit price when buying 4 or so. Also shen yuan are better, not having the weird decool leg connectors

I just ordered a Lego Heroica set (Fortaan) and a bunch of extra shit off of brick link. Can anyone post photos of cool and useful micro builds for my dungeons? Anything that would fit in a medieval setting: elements for forests, swamps, castles, caves, deserts, underworld, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>4539596
Sheng Yuan has weird shoulders instead. It´s easier to accept the even crotch than those blocky shoulders.

>>4539545
Quality is good. I vastly prefer the leg connections the knock offs have since they don´t damage the legs when swapping like Legos parts do and everything is very firm and actually sticks together unlike for example the official Iron man figs I have where the first one I got had zero clutch in his feet after just a few months. The big figs I have no problem with. The prints are maybe a little smudgy but I have yet to hear of a case where the print was totally fucked up.

I would look for a better place that sells them like Aliexpress. A good price one could land would be ≈80 cents per minifig. The big figs are very uneven, I could get 3packs of different Hulks and Things for 4 dollars in total but Venom, Hulkbuster and Goblin are 4 dollars each.

>>4539599
Looks fricking good. like a Christmas wrapping.

>>4538927
I wouldn't mind if tail pieces for the werewolf and other humanoid beasts were just cape pieces because it'd save lego money on making new molds and be great for minifigures sitting in a vehicle without having to remove the bits.

I had a dream last night that I walked in to TRU and they still had the Aquanaut, Aquashark, and Aquaraider sets for sale.

They even had most of the biggest sets for half-price.

This is my mancave right now. I'm sorting out some of my old lego stuff, and selling some of my other stuff. Broken up on the ground is my UCS Millenium Falcon, which I hope to sell for $1,500.

I've already made over $3,000 selling Cafe Corner, Green Grocer, the factory modular set and the Firehouse, as well as my UCS Star Destroyer.

I'm pretty much only selling stuff that I already had built before. I'm keeping the vast majority of my collection, which will be stored until I can find some interest in this hobby again... sadly I'm in another "Dark Age." I kinda regret all the money I've spent on Lego, but at least I can make back a lot of it since most sets increase in value, especially older stuff.

Also, this is how I store stuff in most of those drawers. It allows me to organize my stuff my color, as well as saves a shit ton of space that would be wasted if they were loose. It also preserves longevity of the pieces because they aren't brushing or scraping against each other.

I'll post a few more too, hopefully give you guys with a large amount some ideas on how to organize.

Making dividers in the drawers is easy too using some duct tape and cardboard.

It just seems something nostalgic for lego to do because I doubt kids would buy no name monsters and anyone hardly remembers. Look at how monsters fighter did, great original theme but didn't do too well because kids don't care unless its from something they already know before hand.

I think the difference is that Doctor Who's licence was sold to Character Option Ltd. and Cobi was only making the sets. With Scooby Cobi is making the sets under it's own brand.

You stick the studs on the plates into the holes on the technic piece. I've seen it done before, although I haven't actually tried it myself. In case it doesn't work, I'll just use some cylinder hinges.

Hey guys, me and some friends have been discussing ways to do DnD with Lego, I'm sure some of you have done it it/do it, any tips? I was wondering if I should get a marker and split my baseplates into grids. I have a couple big off-brand baseplates which I wouldn't mind marking up.

>>4540795
Don't use a marker, use plates if you have to divide sections.
Otherwise, I guess you can try converting movement stats and such into studs?

My "X-Wing modifications" came up recently but I didn't have any pictures or anything. Well, I still don't really have any pictures of the X-Wing, because really the "modification" just extends to moving the "Red Five" plates from the bottom wings to the top wings to turn it into "Red Ten", and then swapping out the pilot and the droid. Here, however, is Theron Nett and R2-X2 happily at work in their X-Wing.

I'm guessing that fish is supposed to be leaping up that waterfall, but because of that white skeleton arm it looks more like the bear devised some kind of salmon catching mechanism and is watching in sadistic glee as the fish suffocates where it's held aloft out of the water.

>>4540995
it works the same either way, if you click the ball at the end of the lever, the rotation arrows should be aligned to let you rotate the arc of the lever, as opposed to clicking the base, same goes for the rocker, if you click on the inner plate(the rocking part) the rotater will move that piece,and vice versa if you click on the outer shell

Last year's VV for comparison.

Not sure which I like more, Stegosaur was more fun to build with the wierd angles and asymmetry though.

>>4541247
You can drag the handle to any angle, you don't have to click on the 45-degree snaps.

There should be input fields for exact angles as well.

>>4541266
I like the white, personally. It's better than even more grey.

>>4541247
>>4541268

Bear in mind the real thing clicks in steps of 22.5 degrees, which can be a bit of a pain when working out how to get it exactly like a real click hinge.

If accurate bends are not important, then just highlight the joint, and the arrow keys will let you move stuff in 18 degree steps.

>>4541266
>>4541272

The true light gray of X-wings falls almost directly between Lego's light gray and white. They decided white was better, probably because it "pops" on the store shelf more than gray.

>>4541348
They actually introduced an offwhite(iirc for the first NXT set) for a while, unfortunately it got culled.
