NEWS:
In addition there is a brick built pushchair (stroller) to accommodate the brand new baby fig - not the baby in papoose seen with the tribal woman but a figure that's roughly the height of minifig legs and one stud wide, with little arms and head. It looked very cute on the illustration :-)

>tfw the majority of my Lego is currently packed away until midMarch
Is it me or this Tooth-mixel looks...a little too rich with parts? I dont remember regular mixels being so fucking "thick" and having many parts.
This mixel looks like a fucking MAX already. Does that mean their Max will be even "thicker"?
>>5433615
they're usually 50-70 pieces, given that he has pretty minimal legs and arms, the part count is used on the body
and generally the ones on the lower end have either bigger or more unique pieces. sure that "tooth" piece is new, but its small and easy to produce, so its not that unique in the future. honestly the pick and the trans green are more "unique" for him than the other pieces
>>5433615
Mixels often has 60-70 parts. They are the cheapest Lego sets in term of price/piece
Oh, look what the courier finally decided to deliver to me at 5:30 in the afternoon?
Gonna build this tomorrow with the little sis.
>>5433310
I'm 18 and I have not stopped being into lego since I was 3. I am scared of my dark ages that will come out of nowhere. But hey for now I am happy making mocs in LDD and not being able to buy them :^)
Looking for a Valentine's gift for my girlfriend (20, casual Lego fan). We got the Valentine's Cupid Dog set and built it together, and she had a lot of fun and said that she wanted to build some more stuff together. I thought it'd be nice to get her a small set for Valentine's.
Should I go with the classic Lego Rose, or the Creator Park Animals 31044? The rose is more obviously Valentine's related, but she thought the park animals were adorable.
Also, if there's a better set to get her (quick description: she loves the shore, animals, and cute shit), what is it?
Pic related, a fucking duck
>>5433665
go with the creator
not to sound cheapskate, but creator sets get three builds for their price, thats three times you can build something together on days not valentines, and since shes a filthy casual, you can take it apart quickly with your separators or whatever
obviously if she likes animals too, and already said its cute then thats bonus
the obvious answer is "whynotbothmexicangirl.jpg" though
>>5433665
Go for Park Animals. The Rose is sweet and all, but the Kragle is a buzzkill. You can't truly have Valentine's Lego fun if you can't build ridiculous plastic abominations together.
>>5433665
i really LOVE this duck but fuck i dont want to get anything else from that set. i wish i could get a duck alone...
>tfw just barely noticed the 1×2-lengthwise-with-ball

Trust me, I'm a Mallard.
What is this slutty body and where can I get it?
>>5433698
Looks to me like a knockoff/custom of Katarina, from League of Legends.
Decool has a League set. I think that might even be what's behind the character.
>>5433652
It's a pretty repetitive build but I enjoyed it. It was my first set I've picked up in over a decade.
>>5433599
This is why it's on sale pretty much fucking everywhere. Amazon has it for $30 off right now, and they had it even cheaper than that a couple weeks ago. Hell most places are selling the fun packs for over half off.
>>5433700
That's it.
Danks.
>>5433702
What's a better build then? I can't decide between that, the ecto-1 or the King's mech and another $30 thing.
Lads, what's a good way to get custom prints on a minifig?
What figs do you want but don't exist?
>Stan Lee
>Transblue Cyborg
>Judge Dredd
Though I get the last one, Stan already has a design from the games, I just want to see it in person.
>>5433710
When I said it was the first set I've picked up in a decade I meant it. I've only gotten a few Dimensions packs since I got it earlier this month. It's definitely not a bad set by any means, it can just get tiring making the same parts over and over again, namely the console panels and the police box walls.
>>5433722
Zuckuss and 4-LOM. They've never had a set, even though Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, and IG-88 have appeared in multiple sets each.
What's your dream theme, whether completely new or an update?
I want to see the classic Alpha Team characters brought into the modern Lego world.
>3-D print your head on a Lego mini figure
This is just fucking wrong and scary.
>>5433735
Yeah the only people who seem to like that are clickbait article writers.
>>5433722
The figs from Lego Rock Band.
I'd kill for a Queen set.
>There's some knockoffs of Iron man 3, including marks 1,4,16,21,35,39, war machine. iron patriot, and tony stark.
Sh-should I buy it?
>>5433732
A set that mainly are girls and they ride vehicles that are part animal, with some villians that have vehicles, drillers, and mechas. It's like a cross-over between girls theme and action/adventure.
>>5433093
>>5433735
>>5433735
why would anyone want to do something like that save for making a collection of lego dictator heads?
>>5433732
Lego Grand Prix
Think MicroFighters with retired factions piloting/driving miniaturized, go-kartified versions of the most iconic set from their line.
>>5433735
>not actually using lego minifig parts to build yourself which will make an actually accurate LEGO version of you
It looks like some bullshit that normies would buy. Some...hipster-kind of normies that also collect Pop Vinyl shit and other pretencious stuff like that.

Anon...
>>5433744
Do you have plans of building a complete IM3 Hall of Armors? If so, go ahead. Having the collection up that way is always neat.
Otherwise, maybe just stick to the official armors Lego has been releasing. Honestly, there's a lot that they've made already.

Sounds more like pic related to me, which would be a pretty rad theme imo but might not do as well with the kids since they're not looking back at old themes with nostalgia like we are.

Civil War suit is just Mk. 46.
>>5433665
Definitely the park animals. More fun and you can do a lot more with the pieces. The beach house sets from Creator are pretty nice too.

Seriously, for the future, don't act like this. It's embarrassing. Come on, we're adults.
>>5433722
This thing right here. The rest are lots of superhero figs from the games that don't have a real version yet.
>>5433778
The biggest problem with making a Hall of Armor is that you have to add a pod every time a new figure comes out, which means you have to constantly expand the base.
This is a MOC I designed quite a while ago, and I never decided to pull the trigger. It would look cool, but I'm kind of glad because now I don't have to worry about adjusting it to accommodate X new suits.
Iron Man suits look just fine in a display case. I ended up ordering parts for a different MOC earlier this month.
>>5433810
Why not just add some empty spots "just in case?"
>>5433817
It's easy enough, sure. It just means I have to adjust the angle of the rest of the pods and make the baseplate longer.
That right there is already like 1,100 pieces though, and this was before we knew about Gemini, Hammerhead, and the two Civil War suits. I just didn't want to fool with it.
>>5433810
I think having a Hall with 42 spots should be enough for the next few years' worth of official armors. Plenty of Tony's first 42 are just minor variants of the red-and-gold anyway, so it should be able to accommodate every new version with those colors, as well as the specialist suits like the Gemini.
>>5433820
Go vertical!
>>5433800
>The bike racks
Very nice.
I have the perfect Leon S Kennedy wig on the way, what modular building should I give the "Raccoon City Treatment"?
>>5433860
Are you planning on doing just a single building or a couple?
>>5433870
Eh, probably two or three, so I can have a zombie-filled street.
Unless there's a big Police Station, obviously.
>>5433886
The bank already has a bit of games' Police station going on with it. I say that one.
>Waiting for BL invoice
Well, to be fair I won't be getting this or another order before next week. But I just want to pay it before I splooge the money elsewhere
>>5433810
This is my armory it separates into two sections and is beyond ready for any new iron man figs.
>>5433732
I would like see a Chima returns.
Inb4 pic is just a 5 min sketch to show you what i mean.
After the ice melted and the phoenix vanished, many areas of Chima are flooded with water.
Suddenly a dinosaur tribe flee from dictators from below, seeking refugee. They are hunt by aquatic pirates and slave traders (reuse of atlantis molds suid/shark/crab) as slaves for the dark (purple) chi mines .
What i want to see are a dinosaur tribe, riding on dinosaurs (jurassicworld molds/dinohunters), some beaver and crocodile molds to fight in the water. Aquatic pirates with the atlantis molds and them having crab walkers, maybe a ship that is a half crab, flying shark subs and squid vehicles.
The enemy race would be revealed later.
>>5433957
Looks expensive as fuck, but damn its sexy
>>5433959
I always imagined the aquatic races being super-advanced and high-tech, seeing as they lived and breathed the Chi-affected water that one merely needs to drink in order to evolve.
>>5433957
That looks really good. Do you have it built IRL yet?
>>5433774
Damn, if this were black, grey, and dusty tan it would be a perfect Mad Max set.
>>5433521
I only picked one up because I liked the joints (eyeballs?) but I'm glad it came with boogerdicks.
>>5433393
>what camera and lense do you use my man?
Same thing I've been using since I started doing this: a Canon PowerShot. It's ten whole megapixels.
>>5433999
i imagined them as some pirates.
Kinda like the pirates in ice age. Where you can throw in different races.

They're all used obviously, save for the Elite Clone pack, and postages might raise it. I really hope I get the Twi'Lek sticker on the Gunship.
>>5434049
No ewok and I didn't like any of the versions lego has made enough to include on in my order. BUT I will do one with leia soon enough.

More parts are available in this mode, and you can use any colour you like, even old ones (the paint tool has a larger palette). Models made in one mode can be saved and loaded in the other mode with no issues.

It's the black tab you see on the right on the welcome screen. It lets you pick any bricks in any color.
>>5434236
Didn't spend long on the hands tho.
I updated my XJ9 so here are some pics
Okay, finally got v1.0 of my first attempt at a MOC finished. It's mostly uncoloured though and I'd like to make it a lot better before I commit to it, but I'm stuck for ideas for both of those things.
It's supposed to be a livestock wagon btw, if there's a view you want ask and I'll take a quick pic.

>>5434080
I really think we can asume after big Ninjago Movie we will get Nexo movie and later NexoGo series!
>>5434304
What pieces are you missing ?
>>5434310
I hope that movie is good. At least the design of things will be like the Lego movie, in that everything is made of Lego. I think that's a big failing of the various TV series and things made from Lego properties.
>>5434312
It's mostly the mixel joint pieces and the parts for the upper legs that should be in white. And I guess all the blue should be dark turquoise but that's never gonna happen
>>5434285
>>5434288
>>5434294
Here's what I've been working with as basic inspiration.
[spoiler]Also, spot the build techniques & stuff from existing sets. Three to find![/spoiler]
>>5434318
I agree. When I first heard of ninjago series I hoped for "Bricks in nature" series as they are often pictured like that- In games, minimovies...
I hoped they will build/ rebuild sets to show kids how awesome is to rebuild stuff! ANd they could put instructions on their site.
Same with speedors- they barrely touched the customization aspect - in both sets and series. And I thought Speedors were amazing, because they were not only a game but also pieces that could be used with sets in normal play. (Not like Spinners). But back on topic- YES I hope is Lego The Movie: Ninjago. WIth new story and new world. It can be wacky and told by Finn. I dont care as long it will be good and filled with always funny Lego humor.
Question about Lego Dimensions. Are the minifig that you can buy regular minifig and are they exclusive ?
>>5434340
what
>>5434340
Regular. The base is the special part.
The only "Exclusives" are those that are rare or not released otherwise, like Venkman and McFly.
they are regular minifig, all the game data is on a little disc they stand on. some of them are exclusive, i believe Dr Who has a different print than in the big tardis set, but not all of them. I think the lego movie characters are all reprints, as is gandalf and I assume batman, but i'm actually not sure about the specific costune.
>>5434344
I know venkman has separate prints in the firehouse and ecto-1 sets, does anyone know if his dimensions mini is different too?
>>5434364
His dimensions version is the same as the ecto -1 version but it has the new arm prints.
>>5434366
I thought his Dimensions version had the new hair, too?
>>5434306
thanks
I thought the original chi is already electric. Ice chi was just the powers unleashed from the ice tribes.
Diamond could be interesting, like with every elemental chi you get different powers. Diamond chi makes you harder or stronger.
>>5434310
>Nexo movie
I think this is kinda a little bit too early.
Ninjago gets a movie because its legendary theme, the turtles hype/movies and kung fu panda movie might be a reason for the movie.
But Nexo just started so i assume there will be no Nexo movie inthe near future.
Lets wait how the theme developes.
>>5434333
The speedors and spinners were hard to re-use.
I found some making digital use of the speedorz front.
And i didnt like the both of them very much. It was too gimicky and too expensive.
>>5434009
I'm probably gonna pick up some more glorp corps from the new wave today get more joints, light green, and translucent booger color pieces for my tentacle monster.
What minifig did that face come from?
Farting around with parts.
Built a little hardsuit. Thoughts /toy/?
>>5434553
How are the hands held in?
>>5434565
Friction, between the 'stalk' of the hand and the lever piece they're held in there pretty tight
>>5434567
I really dislike the new chewbacca, especially the mold.
>>5434570
Wait, what? It doesn't look like there's anything for the minifig hand piece to actually connect to.
>>5434576
Its a pretty old technique, try it out, shove a lever and a hand in the cylinder, obviously not super secure or lego approved but pretty clever
toy fair leaks/drawings when?
>>5434612
>This is not Lego
Wut? Dude, do you see the lego-mark on the top of briks?
>>5434622

>>5434617
Brickset has descriptions
70323 Jestro's Volcano Base - £99.99
This is the largest Nexo Knights set yet but is also one of the least interesting in my opinion. The base is quite substantial, occupying an area of about 40cm in width and depth but there is little detail and it suffers from the same issues as 70014 The Croc Swamp Hideout. Lots of space seems to be wasted and the colour scheme is blander than I anticipated, consisting predominantly of black with a little dark red and trans-red thrown in to represent lava.
Despite its dull appearance this set is packed with play features. There are trapdoors, spinning blades, spikes, falling rocks and a lava waterfall, all of which must be negotiated before you can confront Jestro at the top of the volcano. This kind of playset does not appeal to me but I am sure it will prove popular with children, although I cannot help but think that it would be even better if the colour scheme included a little more orange.
The minifigure selection is excellent. Jestro, the Book of Monsters, two Ash Attackers, a Scurrier and Lavaria are included along with the Book Keeper, a short-legged lava monster whose job it is to carry the Book of Monsters around! We see this character in several episodes of the Nexo Knights animated series so I welcome his inclusion here.
Great. I dont need to buy Evil mob... FUCK BUT I WANT SPARRKS

>>5434705
I have a kylo. The faceless version. Everything about him was fine EXCEPT for his lightsaber blade. It was a lightish pink. Same with my Revan, his blade was a lighter red.
Easy fixes at least, and youre still saving cash. Do your orders quickly though, as chinese new year is coming up and that completely FUCKS shipping things from china. You end up with very long shipping times.

Maybe add some more colors, make a curved roof instead of 45°, try to find a logo from city sets etc ...
Just made my first purchase from bricklink, pretty interesting site, though its not very use friendly
>>5434826
it just takes a little while to figure out
why does everyone and their mother complain about this shit
>>5434816
>Maybe add some more colors
I did most of it dark grey simply because I didn't know what would look good, without involving rare / expensive colours. I'm just not experienced enough to know what my options are.
>make a curved roof instead of 45°
I'm definitely not happy with the roof as it currently is, but this was just a tempory job while I figure something out. Not even sure if I want a roof that can be removed temporarily or a "permanent" one. Mind taking a quick pic of what you mean by curved roof?
>try to find a logo from city sets etc ...
Any particular recommendations for a casual newbie?

Because the interface is about as intuitive as a round peg in a square hole.
People are used to ebay and amazon levels of ease when it comes to online shopping, they're basically the standard. Bricklink is comparatively much harder to use.
>>5434851
I'd like to see someone design a system that can handle such a database of small things for buyers and sellers that works as well as bricklink does and is 'user friendly'.
Oh nooo, someone has to take fifteen minutes learn to navigate a website, what ever will we dooo

Ok. Anon.

Paladum doubles the fun.
I didn't really want Rey's Speeder before, but after seeing this I kind of want one now. Has anyone modded the net on theirs?
>>5434909
Oh, the sets are out now?

76 degrees
From yesterday. I did it. I had to use a round 1x1 because for some reason a normal one wouldn't work, even if both side connected
Anon, I want to make a small Mars colony MOC. Question is, what color to use on the base? Dark orange seems the closest, but it's pretty rare and there aint no slopes other than 1x2x1 in that. Reddish brown seems too earthlike. Do I have to settle on dark red?

>>5434926
The sets? No, they're still not due until the start of next month. But the webpage (including instructions) was updated about a week ago:
http://www.lego.com/en-gb/mixels/build
>>5433729
Yes! 4-LOM. Can't really explain why, but he's by far my most wanted minifig.
>>5434573
Me too.
Usually I prefer to upgrade to newer minifigs.
But for Chewie, the older design has a certain classic charm, and has the additional plus of not looking like Homer Simpson wearing a gorilla suit.
I ordered my first mixel set. It's the red monster fire breathing little guy.
Are mixels as cute and fun as they seem in pictures?
>>5434956
Yes, sadly. Medium Azure would work great, though.
I would be satisfied if I could just replace all the grey parts with white. Unfortunately, the hip parts haven't been in production for 9 years so I'm fucked.
>>5434953
Reddish brown with some dark orange in the lower elevations and in any fresh tracks would look good.

Lemme see your god tier lego sets I'll start
>>5435037
I'll never manage to get a copy. It hurts me so much.
>>5435037
God tier means it has more than 700 pieces?
>>5435037
Do only retired sets count?
>>5435050
No, just that one lego set that made you go out and buy the instant you knew about it
>>5434625
>full of play features
>boring set
god it must be massive for that price and for them to not shove anything visually interesting in it
yay another lavaria and new bookkeeper. i might be turning slightly retarded though, but whats an ash attacker? scurriers are those fat short fucks, cant remember attacker at all
>>5435037
Not really god tier but i really love the Resistance trooper transport. Otherwise i'd say the non UCS version of the Tantive IV
>>5435008
Mixels are honestly the most fun cheap LEGO set ever made! Both in terms of the regular models' interactability and because the parts are just fantastic for making small creations out of.
>>5434909
>store still has wave two so theres sets with those joints in stock
>they used to be on clearance, and now they arnt
>every day i fight out the urge to go and buy out the mixels with those joints
>>5435053
Then it's the Republic Gunship, i only have the clone wars version tho
>>5435037
This.
>>5435066
I want that so bad but I dont have the space or the money
>>5435037
I'll probably instant buy the next UCS. It's the first time i have enough money to buy one of them, and the TIE Fighter or the X-Wing don't really appeal to me
>>5435074
Slave 1
>>5435037
This is my second one
>>5435079
I'm not a boba fett fag fanboy, sorry
>>5435037
>>5435082
regardless it's a cool ship.
>>5435085
Want
>>5435037
Probably this. Not only do I consider it the best modular, but it may be my favorite LEGO set ever.
>>5435085
Never Forget
>>5435037
The Vic Viper that comes with Alien Conquest 7066.
Mainly because of it being created to Honor the death of a well known Lego fan!
>>5435095
Can an anon please make this again with modern methods and no heresy please.
>>5433732
I want Blacktron III already. They hinted at it too hard in Space Police III and it never came.
>>5435095
>>5435097
Damn, i once used a sharpy on a clone trooper and i still bite my nails when i see hit in my stack of legos,. How can people do such attrocities
>>5435101
Heck I remember when this happened Nnenn is the main reason we have Novvember now
Remember the time when Muslims got upset at jabba's palace? That was fun.
>>5435124
If I recall , It was people SAYING muslims were getting offended when they didnt really give a fuck
>>5435101
I never knew about that.
That's amazing
>>5435124
wait what
Who's recently been to a Lego store? Will I still find any Lego Movie sets for sale if I stop at a Lego store tomorrow? I really dragged my feet, and now the website lists a few as sold out.
Lego, I have some questions for you.
1) How much do you spend on Lego a month? Is just your extra blow money or is it around the same each month?
2) Do you have a budget? If so, do you stick to it? Do you try and pick up sets on sale to stale in budget rather than getting it right as it comes out?
3) How many lines do you follow, if any? Do you just skip around and buy only the things that look cool?
>>5435161
It's because they thought it depicts a mosque.
>>5435167
I was just at mine on Saturday. They haven't had the Movie sets for a while now, though.
The only place I've still seen Movie sets are Book stores (Barnes and Noble) and TRU.
>>5435182
I probably spent 600$ in November + December, but i haven't bought lego since 2008 or 2009, and The Force Awakens came out.
I will probably not buy a lot until i find a new job, and i usually stick to Star Wars, but i like vanilla medieval sets.
>>5434189
>>le must be a chef meme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOAMJH9g4sI
Protip: sometimes people make jokes on the Internet.
>>5435182
1) 500 PLN, that's about 110 EUR / month
2) no good sales here
3) I buy things that look cool
>>5435182
1) Not a lot, I usually buy japanese figures.
2) Nope.
3) Just Mixels, and I only buy the ones I like.
>>5435182
1) I dont have a set amount I used to spend too much now I am more patient
2) No budget I usually get sets I want that about to retire first
3) I used to skip around I DO NOT recommend it unless you are super rick with a lot of space
>>5431195
Yep. That's me, my watermark is on there. I dont have summer catalog pics so I can't draw anything this time around. German Toy Fair is in a day or two so there's no point, really.
Thanks, though!
>>5435214
>super rick
IT IS DONE. WHO YOU GONNA _____?
(Also watched the first movie while finishing bag #14)
>>5435090
It's basically a licensed modular. Some of the interiors are dodgy and wobbly but the roof holds it together.
Not worth $350, but it was pretty fun to build.
>>5435097
>American is "first world"
>implying $350 hamburger coupons is not a lot of money for literally a doll house
Man you have no idea how many hamburgers and ice cream (typical American breakfast) I could have ate.
>>5435101
Video game shooter series WHEN?
Billiards table is cute.
>>5434416
if i was making this is would turn these pieces around and put transparent green pieces for more of a cocpit display thing
>>5435246
>Not worth $350, but it was pretty fun to build.
Well, compared to the actual modulars, it is fuckhuge, and also has what, 4600+ pieces?
I'd say $350 isn't so bad for like the third largest LEGO set ever.
>people complaining that the Ecto-1 doesn't fit inside
Yes it does.
>>5435054
its this soldier
>>5435273
>tfw it is 500 dollary doos
Just bend me over and go in easy.
>>5435274
lol
>>5435182
1)Not too much. I only buy a few sets a year, usually smaller ones at that.
2) Pretty much tied in with the first. No need for a budget since I probably don't go over $50 annually.
3) Mixels, Minifigures, and Bionicle are all I follow, but I'll jump in with themes or random sets that interest me (in the past this included Monster Fighters and Galaxy Squad).
>>5435273
I would have been much happier with a hollow interior and just a nice exterior set that fits the Ecto-1 for cheaper.
But I needed my accurate hair pieces and slimer fig and janine figfu.
>>5434553
>Thoughts /toy/?
There's something wrong with your suit.
>>5435275
ahh its the lava human mooks
i thought for some reason ash attacker was a name of one of them, like they just called him ash or something
So, I have $100 to blow on Nexo Knights. Should I get the huge set or some of the small sets? Are the individual guys with some armor worth their price tag?
>>5435292
The bad guy "generics" all have different names, though.
That one specifically is called Ash Attacker. I forget all the other ones, but one is Flame Thrower (the bad guy who comes with the King's Mech).
>>5433708
Is there a site where I can see all of the Lego knockoffs minifigs? Some of these parts are really cool.
I really hope they make a knockoff Witch King one day. It was a waste that Lego didn't produce his helmet from Return of the King.
>>5435267
good idea.
i think it should be some handles.
>>5435299
The whatever-was-his-name-knights car and the kings mech.
So I was thinking on getting some generic soldier minifigs for my superhero figs to fight, which is the best theme for [spoiler]fleshie[/spoiler] generic soldiers? I think Indiana Jones could have some of those, but I wanna know if there's more
How is Macy's ultimate set? I have Lavaria and Aaron and was thinking about getting hers also
Anybody got pretty far on the game? It seems Arron is broke compared to everybody else, Recently got the black Armour for Clay but Ill still just use arran as he out DPS's everybody~!
>>5435299
King's Mech
Infernox captures the queen
Plus one or two of the little sets/ultimate lavaria
>>5435351
I have Macy with tier 5 equipment.
Too bad I usually finish the battle before any of my powers charges up.
>>5435291
What's that?
>>5435360
I only use Arron backed up by Macy, Eggs and Bananas mean i have full heath all the time and then sword tornado when i can :c
Hope that Spaceship,Spaceship,Spaceship turns out to be a physical shield, Would suck if its just on a poster or such! My Yoren of futuron would look kick ass with that shield!
>tfw no green version of this torso/shield/pants
life hurts
>>5435364
There's a plastic guy in it.
>>5435399
I prefer the classics
>>5435299
I've gotten pretty much the whole line at this point. The Fortrex is pretty cool, but as far as the smaller sets, Infernox and the King's Mech are pretty excellent. Stay away from the Library unless you want it as an add-on. Can't speak for the Mecha-horse or Rumble Blade.
>>5435336
Jurassic World, turtles, lord of the ring or Star wars?
>>5434634
Is the chessboard a new mould? What's the point in that? What else is the mould used for?
>>5435468
Round shields?
>>5435468
Dejark board is just a shield with a new print.
>>5435060
Eh? No, this joint is new to 2016. As far as I know, the only set to have it right now is the Nexo Knights KingMech.
Are you mistaking it for the non-ball 1x2 piece? The one with the linear joint? Because they were very common in Series 2.
>>5435490
ahh yeah, im thinking of the opposite, the towball SOCKET 1x2
It's finally here. Time to build hover horses.
>>5435417
What about the Chaos Chariot?
Got more Glorp Corps mixels. Meet Tentacle monster 2.0
>>5434417
>What minifig did that face come from?
From the pharaoh's quest girl.
>>5433860
I'm thinking Ghostbuster HQ.
>>5435533
L...lewd
I have a bunch of them tentacles on my Mutagen man. Hes currenly limbless and boxed for my moving :(
>>5435182
I stopped buying new sets in 2009 and discovered BL in 2013 or '14. From then to just a few weeks ago, I only bought old sets in the themes I wanted as a kid, which included Star Wars no newer than 2009. When the new TFA sets came out, I decided to remove the pre-2010 clause as well.
1) I don't really keep track of every dollar, but I'm certain it comes out to no more than $150 a month over the course of a year.
2) Given that the vast majority of my collecting is focused on retired sets, I just try to find the best deals on BL, but I'm also watching for sales/clearances on new(er) sets just so I don't end up spending extra a couple years down the road for sets that are available right now (75100 and 75101 are currently 20% off on Amazon).
3) My BL wanted lists include UFO, Exploriens, Life on Mars, Alpha Team Deep Sea, Throwbots, and early Bionicle, but right now I'm concentrating on Star Wars.
>>5435524
It's not bad, but it doesn't have much of a presence to it. It's kind of underwhelming next to Infernox and the Evil Mobile.
>>5435540
That Mutagen man is pretty legit. Is that a standard build or modified? I just recently got back into Lego, so I am unfamiliar with the TMNT sets.
>tfw finally breaking an inspiration block after 2 months
>>5435533
Where did those tip pieces even come from? [spoiler]And can you send Macy up against it?[/seriouslyhowdoyouevenspoiler]

>>5435570
its a whip brah, totally 100% completely a whip
>>5435563
From which set are those trans green lime lava foot? (Don't know the name of the piece)
>>5435399
I want
Where can I get?
>>5435419
Some TMNT foot soldiers look sorta like terrorists so they could work, same with ninjas, because, well, ninjas.
Star Wars has Stormtroopers and smilars which are pretty recognizable and look very sci-fi
I dunno about Jurassic World, what's in that? Park guards with weaponry?
LotR orcs and those would work maybe as monsters from other worlds, maybe summoned by Loki
Thanks anyway, anon
>>5435575
Power miners rock monsters use it! We got the red version this year in Nexo Knights !
This is a pretty old pic as hes boxed up but on that first pic I showed I managed to use transBlu joints on him! Just a shame lego dont like having large translucent parts much!
>>5435563
It's pretty legit. It's come a long way.
>>5435596
Still not finished though untill his limbs are 100% bluegreen and transparent! Its the only reason I look forward to bionicles as they might have more trans green I can use :D
In other news I cant get this looking anymore accurate :( The megablocks version looks pretty good for megablocks but still isnt as good as mine as they ignored the skull on the front and other stuff :P
>>5435555
>111 short of Satan
Oops.
>>5435592
>Just a shame lego dont like having large translucent parts much!
Tell me about it.
>We got the red version this year in Nexo Knights!
There's an orange one in the Ultimate Lavaria set.
So I tried seeing if I could make motorcycles/ATVs in the same scale as those cars I posted last thread.
I'm honestly not sure what to make of this.
>>5435651
Rough size comparison with one of my previous cars for the interested.
>>5435533

Does anyone else feel that Futuron does not get much love as compared to the other early space themes like Classic Space?

Hes shiney though!
I managed to snag 2 in January I dont particularly need too
>>5435712

>>5435731
>>5435712
Large tanks. That's who.
B)
>>5435733
One day I'll go to a store that has Rey's Speeder in stock, and I'll actually find it. One day.
I should just order it online, but I've only just come out of a 15-year Dark Age and can't really justify the price PLUS international shipping just yet.
>>5435738
Ninjas will just sneak to your tanks and toss anti-armor charges all over it.
>>5435733
EH? Rench is the only canon Blacktron Xeno, All mine are human,droid otherwise
>>5435740
Get the knock off on aliexpress for less than $10. If you like it, get the real one later on, gift away the knock off. Or keep for parts, whatever.
>>5435746
I was just fucking with you man. I like your blacktron stuff, kind of wish we could get a reboot for sure.
>>5435750
I dont want them to be space Nazis just space assholes
>>5435712
Imperial Air Force!
>>5435750
weve had 3 new blacktron figs atleast, rench and the 2 in cmf!
>>5435712

>>5435738
You mind posting your building space at some point? I've been looking to sort my stuff and your setup looks pretty nice.
>>5435756
When I was a kid, my Blacktrons were always just space pirates.
Usually literally: I'd take my pirate ships apart and add Blacktron parts to them.
>>5435771
That sounds metal as fuck.
Now I just imagine a giant pirate ship with those dome plates on it and huge thrusters.
>>5435742
They won't if there's cute animals on the tanks, now would they?
>>5435771
i just have them in ships atm
>>5435780
I should really rebuild it one of these days, but I ended up losing a good 90% of my parts over the years.
>>5435765
Here you go anon. Organizers are from both Walmart and Home Depot.
>>5435771
>>5435780
I like where this is going
>>5435788
Do you use that brush for the dust accumulation? Soft bristle im guessing, right? I was thinking canned air for that, but it seems it might blow parts off shit and all over the place.
>>5435345
I say FUN. Is third best Ultimate for pieces, Trans red looks glorious, I love the new colors for chest and her powers are quite usefull.
>>5435797
it was a shaving brush lol
canned air is fine,i just use a mini vac/babywipes
>>5435345
The stud shooter that comes with Macy's pack is hella fun.
>>5435786
You think ninjas aren't good enough to move said animals before blowing up the tanks?
Just bricklinked a big blue boat hull to make a party boat for my spacemen while i wait for internet in my new pad, never built any boats before so may have to spacify it for space travel! pretty excited t.b.h
>>5435246

>>5435814
Just add some big old thrusters to each side of it. Think classic FF airships or the USS constitution from fallout 4 (love it or hate it, that was a fun little quest).
>>5435934
So is it worth the $350? I'm having trouble picking between it a few other things.
>>5435907
China has them.
I bought a 12 pack of them in a few different colors. They are nice but the arms fall off if you move them too much. Great for display, not for play.
Not bad for a few bucks.
>>5435944
yeh my KO Johnny is fully trans orange!
>>5435950
I also got a trans nick fury, he is actually MUCH better quality than the "holo-blanks" I got.

I wonder if Lego will release a huge Stay Puft. He appears in the Dimensions game buuuuutt I though it could look a little better.
I saw someone try this on /lg/ before and thought I'd give it a spin.
Found a small single bag set and contructed it in the bags.
This part with the arms was the toughest bit.
>>5436178
Ta-da!
It's magic.
>>5436177
>wonder if Lego will release a huge Stay Puft.
Nah. Instead well get the PATRIARCHY PUFT "man".
Lego got the liscense for cuntbusters, so for better or worse, all we get now are reboots.
Honestly, I have more hope for a UCS DOC BROWNS TIME TRAIN, as there arent any solidified plans for a back to the future reboot YET.
Just rumblings.
Nothing substantial like Martha Mcfly and Dr. Julia Brown or anything.
Nope.

They could have done him as some sort of dimensions pack he could have come as a double with the stay puft one.
>>5436237
They intend to keep supporting Dimensions for another three years. With Wave 4 coming in two months, expect to see a more packs announced for most of the IPs they have save for ones like Back to the Future which don't really have much more they can add.
Holding out hope for a Paternoster Gang team pack with Strax and Vastra, or a Missy funpack myself.
>>5436104
