Just found that guy, but his head is reversed and glued (it was a keychain)
how could i put it in the right way?
Doo you modify some of your sets that are based on licenses, /lg/?
>>5898956
In keeping with the thread 'theme', Crossbones' van would make a great Mad Max vehicle

The head is glued? Weird. I still can rotate mine.

The troll and Hagrid from Harry Potter come to mind. Are you counting modified molds like the faun or Woody? Also Mini-dolls.
>>5899082
Minidoll. Hagrid and other old bigfigs. Several of Duplo-figs. Fabuland. Star wars-droids. Exo-Force/Bionicle/Hero Factory. Minecraft mobs. Rock Monsters from Power Miners and Scurries from Nexo.

Take a solder and touch the tip of the keychain then using tweezers, slowly pull it out and that should free up the head.

Fuck, posted in wrong thread. Speeds a hell of a drug....
I HAVE A QUESTION.
I have some of the rubber lego hair (specifically several pieces of the exo force anime hair) that has NO grip. I can easily just slide the hair right off. I already tried the cleaner trick on it (which works fucking wonders for the plastic stuff.) and was wondering if theres any similar type of stuff I can use to make it stick again?
>>5899190
Yup. Those prints originated with last year's Winter set.
Is it only me or does lego let partnership/collaboration/popular media IP products take up a much larger percentage of how many sets they design in the past few years?
Is there an end in sight to this?
>>5899377
It's not you, Lego has become a license whore in the last years.
>>5899376
Damn, adding the pic would have been nice.
>>5899377
at least it's better than megabloks I guess?
>>5899377
just you and now buy our Funkoshit rip offs, goyim.
I'm getting a Wyldstyle polybag and The Lego Movie tomorrow.
What should I expect?
>>5899379
>>5899381
>>5899383
Decided to make this pic for shits and giggles. I've highlighted every series that contains some reference to some licensed IP.
If I recall correctly there used to be only three or four licence series being sold at a time back in the day.
What happened? Does Lego have to fall prey to the aglomeration of industry under a select few owners too?
>>5899383
I'd buy them for the parts, but I doubt they're cheap.
>>5899385
Fuck me here it is
These lads won't be making a comeback anytime soon, will they?

>>5899389
Wouldn't Architecture somewhat fall under licensed themes, too?
>>5899394
There's really nothing to be licensed about public landmakrs tho.
>>5899399
But that's wrong.

To the anon who said in the last thread they wanted pictures of the Morro Dragon and the Elves Dragons together, I'm building the Morro Dragon right now and should have pictures up later today or sometime tomorrow with a size comparison for all of them.
>>5899133
Yup they were just called Lego mosnters and they are great. I call them Grandmixels - I still miss 4 of those.
>>5899190
Oh, I thought you meant the cleavage torso prints, since only a drooling teenager would think there was anything remotely sexual about the carolers' prints.

and the LEGO Movie in the format you bought it
Is there any sort of unspoken etiquette policy regarding large orders of low value pieces from Brick Link?
I ask because, after going 14 years without, I recently got back into Lego and am in desperate need of a massive amount of small, generic pieces (1x2 bricks, 1x3 tiles, 2x2 plates - that sort of thing) and it seems like Brick Link is infinitely cheaper than just buying one of those Creative buckets or boxes.
Thing is, I'm completely out of the loop as far as purchasing Lego is concerned and, personally, it feels a little dickish of me to order several hundred pieces from some guy who's going to have to pick, count and package it all, only for it all to come to a couple quid in value.
Am I just being overly cautious?
>>5899604
Some stores actually prefer to sell them in large quantities, they even give you a better price if you do.
>>5899604
When they have multiple hundreds of the same pieces it's probably their job so I wouldn't care.
Used pieces have less clutch power or could break depending on how they were treated, the creative boxes are still working out at like 3 to 5 cent per piece so the mark up on some of the sets is more like an insurance that you get factory fresh topware but that really is negligible.
The worst you can do to Bricklink ellers is making one piece orders of like under 1 bucks. I don't know how many I have gotten of those and it makes no sense, it was never something really rare and shipping would push the price for these people up so high that ordering somewhere else should be preferable.
>>5899161
Where can I get these?

I would've been happier if it was just never revived at all -- what we ended up getting was just pure garbage.
Forced silver and gold on every color motif was just balls on balls gay.
i've been wanting to build a mech plant for awhile, this is my first full scale mock up.
i realize now it needs to be much larger, but it does feature rough drafts of the idea in my mind.
i want the limbs to each have 3 main segments mounted to pistons that are flush with the wall so they can be moved inwards to the chassis, which is on rails. i have 2 cabinets here, i need more, they look good wall mounted.
this is the first structure i've ever moc'd. i have a new respect for all building builders.

Does anyone have duplo accessories or other pieces with the duplo bar? I want to know how these interact with system. Google gave me nothing on that.

Now I'm curious.
I mean, you can eyeball how thick it is.
It's only a buck-fifty on cracklink, so post if you buy one
>>5899983
Eyeballing doesn't work for connections precise to a millimeter. They may or may not connect because of very small size variations. So yeah, if anyone can do practical tests I'd be thankful.
>>5900014
It looks about as thick as one stud but that doesn't mean much. I did find some sites with lego piece measurements, but none with the duplo bar, good luck anon.
>>5899724

>>5899384
How was this supposed to be available when it was out? I never saw it in stores.
Also, the movie is a LOT of fun.
>>5900273
My closest Target never has polybags, but last August they had a whole crate full of polybags for different lines. That's where I got this guy.
>>5900273
I forget, but I believe that was a promotional item not made publicly available.
>>5900304
I don't know how they distribute those polybags, but I usually have pretty good luck at Targets. I found pic related last month at Target. Maybe you need to try a different Target?

It may be the cheap fuck in me, but I think any time you can get lego on the cheap you should jump at the chance. In the end it all just becomes parts, at least sooner or later.

Just received my first BrickLink order! It's...Ok, I guess.
one item was completely missing (a set of 8 technic pins) and one of the round open-stud pieces I ordered was actually a lipless, closed stud piece that refuses to connect to anything via it's stud.
I've raised these issues with the seller, and I'll likely use BrickLink again but it's definitely put a bit of a damper on things. Are these kind of issues common?
>>5900760
Depends, always check the amount of orders placed by other users and check ratings. You shouldn't have a problem if you order from more frequent popular sellers.
I got burned badly by not checking them, it's incredibly easy for them to scam you or rip you off
>>5900756
>want to buy siege tower
>$49.99
I fucking hate Lego
>>5900760
The fuck is wrong with you people? I've been using bricklink for years and only ever had like 2 problems in my orders over those years. What are you buying from sellers with a feedback rating of -1 or something?
>>5900764
What's a decent number to look for? The guy I bought from had a 98.something % approval with 9500 pieces of feedback.
>>5900769
Ideally 100% at all times, be very strict about this
But judging by the number of feedback and orders something must have went wrong with the order, wait for a response desu.

Can a Jack Stone figure wear a Technic figure helmet?
>>5900765
Grab a CMF so you can get that stupid sexy Lava Monster.
>>5899389
has the number of sets offered at a time gone up over the years?
Lego can't really do much about it if they put out things that tank. i'm sure they'd love it if monster fighters and that random unlicensed dino series had done well enough to continue on their own instead of being replaced by scooby and Jurassic world. Or if the classic castle and unlicensed pirate revivals hadn't tanked.
I feel like the only thing directly murdered for competing with a license is probably classic space vs star wars. even then, I have a feeling nexo knights is warhammery enough to scratch the scifi itch for some people.
>>5900788
Sudden decompression sucks.
>>5900760
stuff like that happens to me one out of...twenty? orders or something, it's pretty rare.
>>5900845
I think so. Don't have any of those though
>>5900764
>>5900769
Oddly enough, I've gotten more mistakes when I've ordered from big stores with thousands of feedback, whereas the smaller ones always have everything.
But as a seller myself, I can sorta understand. Big ones are, well, big. They don't have time or drive to make sure every order is good to go when they have ten more waiting. If you're small and get like one order a week, you think of them differently.
Or maybe it's just me, who knows
>>5900845
Jack Stone hair/helmets are stuck on, and can't be removed.
>>5900950
Technic helmets are so big that a Jack Stone figure can wear TWO helmets.

I have pic related but never opened it. I saw the movie like 3 times in theaters and a few times on tv. But it's been a while, so maybe I should crack it open soon.
The movie is really good. But that's coming from someone who hasn't lost his sense of childlike wonder.
>>5900315
I assume promo bags that don't get given away with the promo are put on pegs after the promo period has ended.
I usually see regular poly bags out by the registers at targets and most TRU lego isles.
It's luck of the draw on promo ones, depending on how well the sale goes. That's my assumption anyway. I've never seen that Wyldstyle one, but have seen others.

Wow, not only does he follow a trash-tier religion, he can't even follow it properly.
Someone needs to remind this retard that just because he isn't specifically buying sets with wizards in it, it doesn't change the fact that he's giving money to a company to approves of and profits from depictions of witchcraft and wizardry, which is just as bad.
Maybe if he actually gave a shit about his religion, instead of just following whatever he's told to, he'd know this.

Oops, no it's all happening over there. Really I meant it as a back handed complement to this place.
Zack never went inside the general store so I didn't get to take pictures of the inside during the game. The service station burned down so it's already disassembled but here are the pumps again.
I don't think the bench was ever seen (it was around the left side of the general store) but it's the same one from the beach Will Banger was on. Lawnmower is the one from the Fun in the Park set.
The bootleg heads for the pod people are a little worse for the wear. I found out right away that I couldn't use sticky-tack on their faces, as you can see from the mouth on the third-from-bottom. Some of the printing started wearing off while I was posing them, so I had to make sure not to touch the faces (although the idea of rapidly-decomposing plant zombies would be fun).
Inside the door is the box full of sticks that every country store has.
Right side of the store has advertisements for fertilizer on the wall
Grocery aisle
Cash register was lifted from the Octan station in Red's city
A fancy bit of decoration around the back of the building hints at its origin as a WPA project
The rest of the building is pretty elementary, but I'm really happy with this awning above the diner.
All the walls are separate so they can be popped out to shoot the interiors of either the diner or the general store from any angle.

It feels so good being back to my lego at home, i can finally unpack all the stuff i got on my first two experiences in a lego store while in Germany. And change out the outfits from the minis i brought on travels and put them back in my street. Put the pick a brick cup to use (even if i ended up forgetting to add crucial parts).

Man, this was good. Was this partially inspired by that weird Darkwing Duck episode "Twin Beaks" by any chance?
>>5902152
I'm sure I saw that episode as a kid, but no, I got the idea a few months ago when someone was posting bootleg minifigs in the /lg/. I ordered 20 bootfigs (less than five bucks total and free shipping, thanks slave labor!) hoping that four or five of them would reasonably match up with faces that I already had. I got really lucky and had a dozen close-enough matches, so I was able to pad out the town quite nicely.
>>5902152
How many 100s of dollars is that?
After all these years, even after owning the set, I still have no fucking idea what the thing in the background was suppose to be.
>>5902180
it was used to hold / move around the speeder bike. I don't recall it being in the movie...
Just something needed to bump up the part count and keep the price high (I'm guessing)
>>5902180
I also got that set as a lad, while i didn't see the movie at the time my brother assured me it was one of the pipes that got flinged at yoda and the other guy. (i watched the prequel trilogy like two months ago and i already have no idea wich of the jedis was who)
But the scale is off so much that that i have honestly no idea.
I also remember getting the tusken raider encounter around that time. Wich i loved because i loved the tuskenraiders so much from the old movies.
Only after seeing the later two prequels as mentioned before i thought about how weird it was for Lego to make a set about such a gruesome part of the movie.
Which of the 60s Batman bootlegs on Ali are the best? I'm considering getting Batman and Joker but I'm cheap bastard and don't really want to pay 20€+ on BL. Even if it'll hurt me to get fakes.
I don't need it....
The great thing about sorting your collection is that finding all the pieces you didn't know you had, so I decided to smash together as many blue and orange pieces as I could.
>>5902326
Hot damn that's sexy. Where can I get one?
>>5902345
I was really torn whether to try and sleak it out by subbing in some black or white but I decided against it, even if it ended up a bit blocky.
>>5902346
ain't cheap https://www.bricklink.com/store/home.page?p=mwlchow#/shop?o={"showHomeItems":1}
>>5902180
It's suposed to be playfeature - you can put yoda in it and make jumps and stuff
>>5902382
I'm not sure if that makes sense; the arm is on a voodoo joint and is mostly made of axle-based Technic connectors. It doesn't seem very conducive to that sort of play.
>>5902345
damn, orange/blue is an eye catching color scheme, I should do that for the next ship, along with lime/whatever the fuck goes well with lime color schemed ship
>>5902391
Purple and Lime works, according to LEGO.
>>5902394
YO I REMEMBER THESE!
what were they called again?
>>5902397
X-pods I think.

Can get the same shit through ali instant message for like $5. Find a chink, make a deal.
>>5902394
did that one
I guess I'm looking for primarily lime color with a higher piece count
>>5902391
>>5902394
>>5902422
fuchsia is the complementary colour for lime in the same way that orange is the complementary colour for blue
>>5902051
Oustandng job as always!

After seeing that cute "little modulars" I made myself a small Cafe - Paradisa. It still looks little bland tough.

GUYS DESCRIPTIONS OF MANY 2017 SETS ARE ON BRICKSET! Sadly made by Klaus Dietier who cares only for City.
But still the best thing:
Pizza Van
- totally adorable van in yellow with a bit dark red
- opening hatch on the side to sell the pizzas
- bistro table and red moped, supposable even new 1x1 pizza 1/4 piece
I've been mulling over how to build the Sidonia for weeks, finally have a breakthrough this morning, now I'm stuck at work until God knows when and won't have time to test my theory. Feels bad man.
>>5902531
Where on Brickset?
>>5902620
I couldn't find it on Brickset, but here's the post with the descriptions from Eurobricks.
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=138569&st=150#entry2653919
How about a Miraculous Ladybug Lego set?
>>5902807
>going into another thread to repost someones wasted digits AND clearly disparaging opinions
Yeah thanks buddy.
Does this line of highly detailed building sets have a specific name?
>>5902821
Modular Buildings
Big Ass Space Truck, WIP.
>>5902535
White would definitely give it more of an Ice Planet 2002 vibe, but yes black would also work.
>>5902871
I really need to get some of the Aquasharks.
I've wanted those for almost 20 years now and only this year I got the smallest one, but it's just not enough.
>fuck competent design and quality standards - people will buy it anyway since the Star Wars logo is slapped onto the box
please help I am spending too much money on plastic crack
>>5902900
Looked miles better in a ad of it. Fucking bullshots! Those minifigs don't look interesting enough either.
>>5902900
That's the set? really? not somebody's 'oops I don't have quite the right colors' moc?
>>5902861
I like your space truck style. I have that yellow panel with the printed energy symbol on it but I haven't decided a way to use it.
>>5902861
love love love the cabin
>>5902900
Where are the mudguards in SPACE?
>>5902369
Worth it
Gonna look for:
Ezra Bridger's Speeder
Ultimate Lavaria and
CMF Cyborg tomorrow in store.
Wish me luck!
Hey anons, what could be inside here?
I was thinking some comfy danish/cornish bakery, but I don't know if it looks too "high end" for that? Jewelery store, perhaps? Or something completely different?
Any ideas would be great.
>>5902961
Computer equipment store.
>>5902961
Hipster music store
>>5902961
Coffe mug store
>>5902966
I really like this idea, I can already imagine some stuff based on my local store.
>>5902968
I can definitely see that, it can easily give off a vinyl-selling vibe.
>>5902969
Honestly, I wouldn't want a store this big for that. Might incorporate a smaller cup store in a later build, for you. I tend to make like one of these half-attempts at a modular every week, so it's definitely coming.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'll take them in consideration!
>>5902807
>caring about post numbers
I'm not telling you to kill yourself, but it would probably be better for everyone if you killed yourself.
>>5902900
how are star wars sets still even profitable? Not just for Lego, in general. Are there really people who still want a Darth Vader but for whatever reason won't use one of the trillions of others in existence?
This set has been very elusive. Only managed to find one at toys r us
>>5902961
Diarrhea Dan's Taxidermy While-U-Wait and Build-Your-Own Pizza Station
>>5902985
>Honestly, I wouldn't want a store this big for that.
Use the leftover space for mudguards?
Actually the bakery idea's my favorite, I could see little round tables with displays in the windows.
>>5902997
>Only managed to find one at toys r us
Well, it's a TRU-exclusive so that makes sense.
Jack Stone-figures are lot smaller than I thought. They're only barely taller than a normal minifig
I have the detectives office and the parisian restaurant - which do I build first?
Also, I need a corner modular - do I get the brick bank or the palace citera?
>>5902997
It's not particularly good, either.
"I want a cheaper Vision and/or MCU Spider Man" is the only reason to buy it.
The tanker truck will wander straight into your parts bin and you wish you had bought the Sanctum Sanctorum set instead.
>>5902995
Same reason stuff like Gundam is somehow still popular.
>>5902961
I can see a hipster coffe shop/bakery, also a cozy toy shop, an antique store or maybe a store in christmas time, like a christmas shop
>>5903041
Cinema may look impressive on the outside, but it's pretty barren on the inside. I do like the lobby at least. Fuck that stupid car, though.
Bank is impressive build both on the inside and outside, but I do personally think that green-grey-white color scheme is a bit ugly, and it feels a bit too cramped for my taste.
Cinema retires earlier and is cheaper at least in Europe.
>>5903041
One time I got multiple sets in one delivery
So I poured all the brix out into two piles, spread out the instructions and built both AT THE SAME TIME WHILE LISTENING TO VENETIAN SNARES' "WINNIPEG IS A FROZEN SHITHOLE"
Do exactly what I did you fucking aboulomaniac
>>5903058
Oh, and the absolute, utter worst thing in Cinema is that it's the only modular to use stickers.
At least you can replace one of the movie posters on the wall with Lego Movie-poster but those sheets are pretty expensive on their own
>>5903058
>it's pretty barren on the inside
>it feels a bit too cramped
I wonder if Lego will ever address these problems for such and Idea sets.
I know they can't make everything fit the minifig scale, or super detailed 100% accurate, also more pieces means higher prices, but sometimes it feels like they're not even trying.
>>5903064
The Bank wouldn't even be that bad, but I just feel that the laundromat is tacked on just to get that joke about money laundring in. I get why they did that, Lego is a toy after all. Play features are important. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
Then again, I like Detective's Office which is literally a giant playfeature but what do I know. At least there is technically two different buildings so it works a bit better.
>>5902620
Sorry wanted to write Eurobricks.
>>5903068
All we "adults" can do about it is build it once, then improve it.
I'd love to get my hands on the Ghostbusters HQ and make it longer and wider.

Thanks anons. The cabin is a compromise between windows, accessibility and more windows.
>>5903078

Where is that trenchcoat from?
Asking for pic related.
>>5903078
my compliments to the chef
Grabbed a Brick Warriors pack from my local TRU. I don't usually get knock off stuff, but I like these for the weapons.
>>5903130
Cyren's looking a little tomboyish modeling the set.
>>5903134
There we go.
>>5903134
wish I had a snubnose like that
>>5903121
Don't know the name of the brand, but I'm certain it's a custom piece.
>>5903151
It's pretty cool.
>>5903121
Cape Madness on bricklink has them. Theyre like $1 for the basic coats, but the fancy ones get a little pricey, pic related was $4.
>>5903204
Does this count as heresy?
>>5902985
so how is that cyberpunk dance club coming along? Or are you not that anon?
>>5903208
Who gives a shit. Fuck purists.
>>5903208
It's just a cape man.
If it's not damaging any lego pieces, then it's not heresy IMO.
>>5903208
of course it does. Question is, does that bother you?
>>5903208
Yes, but it looks good so who cares.
>>5903210
Nah, that's a different boy.
We need more licensed CMF.
I come here from time to time to see if there are any good lego stuff.
Always disappointed...
There are never any good LEGO Technic stuff with gears and such, just boring barbie figures and basic lego models.
Never any cool machines or vehicles.
>>5903257
Our allowances are only 20$ a month.
>>5903130
Oh ho ho...
what's a set that you've recently restored through the power of bricklink to get the missing parts?
pic related, was missing dem light gray chains
>>5903274
This is a fun set. New weapons, faces, helmets, hair, and even beards! Fun horses, too. The bases are huge as they are meant to hold trading cards, which my set didn't include for the sake of space.
>>5903274
They don't even have titties printed on. What kind of shitty bootleg waifu is that.
>>5903282
Super Asian mook face. Good for Sulu.
>>5903282
Huh, those bases look like the ones from the basketball figures lego did back in the day. But they have more studs and different text. Do they come with cards you can put in the little ridge?
>>5903281
Da bukket truk
>>5903257
There's something weird about technic people.
System? fuck yeah spaceships! cars! mechs! awesome shit!
Technic? here is my giant combine harvester that really works it harvests miniature wheat and next I'll build a scale accurate version of some mining equipment so obscure when you google it you just find pictures of the lego model
I don't get it.
>>5903314
Technic isn't limited to obscure stuff most importantly, it's not limited to boring pre-made stuff with parts designed for one purpose for that specific model that shows on the package.
When I was 12-14 I made self-made 4x4 vehicles with live axles and V8 with three gears and reverse.
I made working shredder machines, pneumatic(used water to mimic hydralic and keep pressure) pressing machines and lifters and platforms.
Not only that Technic isn't limited to other Technic, you can use LEGO system along with it, as proven by this person >>5898792
Things like these >>5900273 >>5900315
are a disgrace.

Wife and I have put off building this thing for over a year. Finally cracked it open and completed it a few days ago. BEHOLD!!
>>5903377
No, it's not high, it's just that while you lick the mud off the horse shoe it looks taller than it is.
>>5903398
LEGO is meant to be universal and work everywhere, the captain america figure and shield works in nothing besides Marvel related stuff.
Heck you don't even build the bike, it's like 80% already done.
>>5903130
Shit, now I've got to go see if my TrU has that particular color combo. I bought that pack a couple of years back, but it came with some funky colors.
>>5903405
I really pity you and your total lack of creativity.
>>5902884
>Aquasharks best aqua line
As a kid I had all of them but the Spy Shark, which I did eventually bricklink not too long ago. Ended up rebuilding my Deep Sea Predator into a space-capable sub but I tried to keep the overall look similar enough to the original.

>Wow, so many possibilities with pre-made star wars lego kits.
>>5903438
My standards are fine nigger, I just built a 1/12 scale model of this Ukraininan Izhmash-Ursus CH970/B potato harvester with gears and movable dozer blade and vibrating V9 engine.
It works really good with my 1/12 scale potatoes

I still havent gotten around to cumming on several lego pieces to test the long term effects of semen on different forms of ABS plastic....I need to get on that. That was a good night time discussion on here.

I couldn't think up any names for these two.
>>5903467

Only retards such as yourselves would pick a ready made system kit over Technic.
>>5903423
>dat purple ghost trail
Hey anon, do you have a UV light? I'd like to know if every ghost trail glows.
>>5903481
Can I make a sweet ass Hutt strip club with like 15 twi'lek strippers (including HoloWhores) as well as strippers and whores of other races across the galaxy with technic?
Didnt think so.

Yep, definitely a troll, and a bad one at that.

>>5903501
If this was /tg/ you'd be That Guy talking skub about FATAL in the /gdg/
(I have no idea what he said either)
I need better lights and black paper for UV backgrounds....also a bigger desk.
>>5903519
Here's my setup
Both windows have four pieces of black posterboard that block about 99% of the light coming into the room, so the bounce lighting of the stand-up three-light poles doesn't have to compete with natural lighting.
One bulb on each pole is a UV bulb; the other two are standard CFL.
>>5903546
>>5903539
Nice!
>>5903552
A pack of sticky-tack and a few sheets of colored posterboard is less than ten bucks, but it really spruces up your pictures.
I have packing tape on the back corners of all my backdrops, so I can use sticky-tack and not have it tear off bits of paper when I switch skies.
I also have large sheets of white and black cloth that I use for stuff like the land beyond, where I need to shoot a higher angle than a regular piece of posterboard can provide. Those have to be held up with thumb tacks, but luckily there are nail holes in both frames at just the right height.
Then you can get into all kinds of fun with UV-reactive backgrounds!
>>5903492
The possibilities are endless with either technic or system. I personally combine both when I build to some degree, as I find technic great for features like steering and suspension (pic related).

hurrr durrr this company sucks because they make toys aimed for children, their main source of income, instead of me, one lonely guy who thinks that is smart because can build stuff without insturctions
Easy there, we don't wanna be ooverqualified for NASA
LEGO has made a name for themselves through the decades, even if their quality has decreased, the name stands. Kids know them, kids want them. When the times were darkest, it was licensed sets and child appealing, aesthetically pleasing sets who got them through those times
Is Technic good? sure it was, but it's basically dead and doesn't sell because times evolve, it's not the company's fault if you can't do that as well
Face it, toys are not aimed to you anymore, kids want TLM and Superheroes sets
>>5903438
>you try to make it so that your sad "creations" aren't as shit by comforting yourselves
Funny, because that's actually what you are doing, trying to feel superior because you build "working" replicas of engines and machines

Lego Technic isn't the highest Lego building level.

>>5902639

>>5904119
I know that weird pink purple hybrid combines with lime, I love that combo, specially for psychedelic shit, but in LEGO it doesn't work

>pre-made
See, you keep using that term. What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?
>>5905619

Don't forget that Chima, Mixels and Bonkles don't really count since they have been (or will be, in the case of Mixels) put down.

Most religious folks pick-and-choose what does and doesn't count. You shouldn't think too deeply about what religious people believe because it varies greatly.
