Burger could be awesome. Hoping to see pizza, taco and/or pea pod eventually.

The dribbles of information have started from the usual suspects. There may be up to three costumes in S.17, with a butterfly and food item being "confirmed", and a third hinted at.

>>6056377
same coach copied 5 times looks boring as fuck, don't care how accurate it is. Pls post a better pic of the engine.

I think a pizza guy, or possibly a drink cup guy are likely options because they're more vertical costumes that would fit a minifig better with slits in the sides. A burger would be neat but I can't see it allowing arm movement.

some questions from a lego newbie

what are your three top favorite lego sites out there
why does everyone just collect sets, it seems people go crazy over them, but you can get any part you like from say bricklink, no? just need a list of parts
how do people make money off of buying these things and reselling them?
are there single blocks (not minifigs) that are worth collecting?
how does lego community look upon technics?
why dont people like sharing their mocs? I understand some do, but vasty majority doesn't

all i can think about for now

Yeah these are working out very nicely

I got a slide cutter so all the edges are straight and even, but I accidentally cut the best-quality lawerfig ad too short, so it falls out of the frame.

Here's how the sign is mounted on the pole. The pirate ship mast base doesn't really fit any pieces besides the middle section of the mast, but I found out that this wheel fits inside pretty well. The connection isn't very tight and the sign swivels easily, but it's the best I can do at the moment. Any suggestions for poles?

I'm new also but I only come here. Most other places suffer from user wanking and general extreme autism
Sets are an easy way to get cohesive parts and also are just plain well designed (most of the time). Getting all the parts you need piece by piece is harder than it seems. A lot of the time I don't really know what to get myself
Buying sets and holding them until they retire is an easy way to make a buck. It's just a waiting game (and knowing which ones people want, usually larger sets)
Technic is cool, just different and harder to build larger things with
People here are ok with almost any moc and you won't get insulted even if it's pretty bad (unless you spam)

Bricklink, 4chan, and the wiki I use to host all the dumb shit I make

>why does everyone just collect sets, it seems people go crazy over them, but you can get any part you like from say bricklink, no? just need a list of parts
Same reason people like to assemble jigsaw puzzles and then frame them

>how do people make money off of buying these things and reselling them?
They buy rare, expensive ($300+) sets that are only available in limited areas for a short period of time, then capitalize on the fame of those sets (mostly Star Wars)

>are there single blocks (not minifigs) that are worth collecting?
Yes, bricks with faces on them are fun

>how does lego community look upon technics?
Gears are cool

I check youtube and brotherbricks sometimes. Mostly I use brickset, bricklink, and here.

>why does everyone just collect sets, it seems people go crazy over them, but you can get any part you like from say bricklink, no? just need a list of parts
Some sets have parts that are harder to find, so it isn't just as simple as buying the parts to get the set.

>how do people make money off of buying these things and reselling them?
Most people don't make much money. They buy sets, keep the parts they want and sell the rest. It counters the amount of money they spend on them. Others just buy sets and sell them in a few years.

>are there single blocks (not minifigs) that are worth collecting?
Some test colors and stuff are cool to collect. Prints are also nice. I collect swords kinda, sure its not exactly a brick, but it isn't minifigs. I don't have a recent picture though.

>why dont people like sharing their mocs? I understand some do, but vasty majority doesn't
It's that whole not wanting to be criticized thing. Or maybe other stuff. Why do people sing in the shower but not in a loaded car? I just don't know.

This place
bricklink
occasionally flickr or something if people have a gallery there, or youtube to see in-depth reviews by Jangbricks to see if i like a set.
>why does everyone just collect sets, it seems people go crazy over them, but you can get any part you like from say bricklink, no? just need a list of parts
They don't.
I get sets if i really like their design, have parts i need that are going to go up in price a lot and to support LEGO
I use bricklink for old parts or large quantities of very specific parts for mocs.
>how do people make money off of buying these things and reselling them?
dunno, i'd rather just work a job since i probably will get seduced into building shit with them
>are there single blocks (not minifigs) that are worth collecting?
You could be scum and hoard a single rare piece bricklink, but i bet there will be better things to make money with.
I personally try to get one of each crazy neon coloured hairpiece out there because i love futuristic punk style fashion, a lot of old printed pieces because i love the oldschool graphicdesign of their corresponding era and food items/prints&pieces for electronic equipment because they are key in making a comfy environment for minifigs.
Only collect things because you like them and use them a lot.
>how does lego community look upon technics?
Cool. Way better suited for intricatele engineered motorized or moving action/play-features. But usually a lot larger in scale and less polished and detailed aesthetically (lots of visible holes and gaps) and don't always look so great with minifigure scale.
>why dont people like sharing their mocs? I understand some do, but vasty majority doesn't

>what are your three top favorite lego sites out there
Brickset, Bricklink, Flickr

>why does everyone just collect sets, it seems people go crazy over them, but you can get any part you like from say bricklink, no? just need a list of parts
For me it's mostly the minifigs. If i want most of the minifigs in a set it's most of the time easier to just buy the set instead of buying everything separate

>how do people make money off of buying these things and reselling them?
Reselling the ones aimed at adults or with rare parts/minifigs when they're retired

>are there single blocks (not minifigs) that are worth collecting?
completely subjective. In the monetary sense: not really, unless you can get your hands on unreleased prototypes (which you can't)

>how does lego community look upon technics?
Sadly we mostly ignore it. I think it's because we prefer looks over functions.

>why dont people like sharing their mocs? I understand some do, but vasty majority doesn't
Honestly a lot do. just go to Flickr and search for LEGO groups

How do you get Bricklink to show you how expensive/cheap a part is compared to other sellers?

>>6056904
When you look at an individual part's page on Bricklink, scroll down to where it lists the part by color. Click on the color you want.

Above will appear some listing options for how the displayed lots for sale are organized, amongst these you'll find "by cheapest, most expensive, quantity", etc.

>>6056910

Brickset for new set information (also reddit lego leaks for prelim photos and Eurobricks for reviews)
Bricklink to buy single parts
Flickr for moc photos (Brothers-Brick, Rebrickable and Lego Cuusoo as well nice to see new stuff)
No Youtube ever

Many parts are rare and thus expensive. Like for example people are fawning over the out of production Green Grocer Modular but sand green bricks are above the 10 cents a piece rule that most use as a guideline, so building it out of parts from Bricklink is still going to cost like 200$ more than the set cost back then. Another protip for that problem is lego.coms category to buy parts (in the same string as replacement parts) you can buy most of the bricks that are in currently produced sets from there, some for less than what Bricklink charges. Another side of the problem is that not all piecs exist in all colors which is frustrating when using LDD or other computer programms to build something and then you have to work around the design with what actually exists.

Exploiting discounts I guess, it's much different outside of the USA but I could get the Star Wars advent calendar for less than 25€ and sell most of the 9 figures for around 6-4€ each on top of the mini models. Minifigures are the things that are overvalued the most. Currently trying to sell my UCS Slave One Boba Fett for 50€ but when it works I got a UCS model for 103€ and still have the other 3 figs.

MissingNo.???

Separate category completely. Often used for stability but generally looked down upon. They can be helpful in functions like sliding doors but most people are unwilling to get into the complications of gears workings.

Most think their builds are shit which is probably true when you have competition like what Brothers-Brick showcases every day. I am also lazy and photographing something is a feat in and of itself. Unless you have some good backdrop you get hounded by people analyzing your plug sockets (except here ironically).

>>6057425
Yes. There was a time in the early-mid 2000s when the durability was very poor, and it's gotten better since then, but it's not as good as it used to be. It's common for 30+ year old pieces to be fine while pieces from a few years ago crack just sitting around being connected to something (someone a thread or two back had a torso crack just sitting on a shelf with legs plugged in).

>>6057425
I've heard a lot of horror stories like >>6057429
going around lately, but I've been building since the nineties and brick quality seems no worse than before, even the Chinese parts. The only parts I've ever had break from regular use were lime Bionicle joints from the notorious bad batch. Avoid exposing your bricks to extreme temperatures, sunlight, and essential oils, and you should be alright.

>>6056674
I heard a rumor that LEGO priced this one so high, as well as the other sets from 2016, because the demand was too great and they were having a hard time keeping up with growing demand in Asia.
It looks like 2017 will bring slightly cheaper sets, unless Trump nukes the world, which is likely because he's retarded and insane.

>>6057454
Yea, the Phantoka-Mistika-Glatorian line was made with the brittle joints (almost forgot the lime joints from Mahri sets), truly a pain to build with (the sets I mean), and are not advised for MOC building

I'd probably buy more sets if I had room for them. But once you buy something this huge (along with getting Benny's spaceship for free, buying Jabba's palace + Rancor pit, the Millennium Falcon, and tons of MOCs), the desire to buy all the awesome sets that come out tends to fade. With how limited my space is, I'm pretty much only buying their collectible minifigures or going on Bricklink to buy exactly what I need. Once I get over all the financial hurdles that the holidays put in front of me, I might think about selling what I don't need.

Our apartment isn't tiny, but it's not all that big and now that we have two asshole cats, I have nothing out in the open for them to fuck up or eat. I made a few displays for my minifigures, but recently I made this one and it holds around 80 minifigures. I kind of regret making it since it's difficult to photograph or even store it. I might go back to making small displays for certain themes instead once I get my life back together.

>people give them shit because they pretty much have the same gameplay

It's really tragic to see the potential wasted on the generic mechanics of the current games. They really do deserve a lot of the shit they get, because the older games, while flawed, had a lot of variety.

I mean, Rock Raiders had some tense shit when I was a kid, I loved that game. Some of those missions were really cleverly (and in some cases, cruelly) designed. The AI was terrible at times though. They'd run halfway across the map just to turn around for lunch when there's ample resources close to the base. I also loved making some wacky tracks in Stunt rally. If only the racing was more like Racers.

That said, the current games do some good stuff in other departments. Lego city undercover nailed the humor and just jammed it up with references.

Currently, mine goes Detective office, Pet Shop, Custom little office building, and Parisian Restaurant, then probably the Cinema(Which I own but haven't built.)
And I agree with the Restaurant not fitting all that well.

My Insectoid spider uses those.

What website do you guys use the most out of all of them? I recently decided to start going through my giant box and put together my sets to figure out what pieces are missing so I could buy them. I've been comparing some of the sites (Rebrickable, Brickset, and Bricklink for example) and I am not sure which I should be using. I have noticed that some of the parts lists don't match, being my main complaint. I do like how Rebrickable and Bricklink notate which parts are spares where applicable.

So how do you build mocs, design something with this program and then get the parts from bricklink? I'm guessing you will have to buy it from different sellers, I doubt one has everything. It all just seems so tedious.

Wish lego had a custom set feature, just design something, send them the file and then they send you all the parts with print instructions and everything. This being lego, it would be so expensive but so nice.

They used to do this with LDD. The parts were incredibly limited and it was horrifically overpriced.

I had it that way initially, but it looked a bit too blocky. I may go for a 1x1 barrel or nosecone piece though, to reduce the blockiness. Thanks!

Fiddling with the parts i have is the start of 99% of all mocs. At some occasions i just started off drawing something and that i then wanted to make out of LEGO and start looking for solutions. But most of the time I'll take a neat part and think "wow, maybe this could work as an X" and work from there. Then just oldschool draw some parts of it out so i remember and can keep track of what parts i need.

Ofcourse you could use ldd, but for me pen paper and live parts are quicker. But i have used the former to finalize bigger projects.

Since most mocs start off as just using whatever i have at hand, i generally don't have to order 9000+ parts from bricklink except when it's for a building.

I played the original trilogy game and I got burnt out on it fairly quickly. Right now I'm playing Marvel Heroes and I'm having way more fun, just because of the variety of characters and villain mechanics. The story has more of a sprawl to it, and it's obviously not slave to an existing property, hence the story about the Cosmic Bricks.

Ok guys, I need some help. I'm trying to add to my collection of WW2 vehicles, but I need to get a better version of a turning wheels mechanic.

I'm thinking I could use two pic relateds in parallel, but any ideas you have to make the absolute smallest apparatus would be much appreciated.

Have you tried not using the dedicated wheel arch pieces? I know they're popular but older sports cars like that don't actually have super flared fenders so it's one of the car types where brick-built wheelwells might work better.

OK, took some pictures!

As you can see, the angled sides are offset here, which might allow for some cool builds but not the way you want to do it.

However, LDD was correct that this is a stable connection, as you can see by the fact that I was able to stick a 2x4 brick diagonally across the two pieces.

So there you go, it works!

Ok, so I've come up with this so far. I really want to replace the red piece with something that does not stick out forward so much.

Any suggestions?

>>6059053

Take a look at how it's done in mini Technic vehicles like 8066, 8067, 9390, and the dump truck from 42023.

I forgot to ask which way you wanted to see it so I just shot both ways. The top way fits snugly, but the wheel and the drill are the same circumference as you can see in the bottom pic.

>>6056610
Is there a place that you can just get a bunch of swords and other minifig accesories in bulk?

>>6059207
You're my hero anon. Trying to make a pedestal with the drill piece as the top portion, and was hoping that wheel could serve as the base. And now I know. Thank you.

Are you familiar with Bricklink? It's what everyone here uses.

>>6059219
No prob anon!

>>6058938
That's an interesting idea, I had not considered that. I'll give it a shot in LDD. Thanks mate!

>>6059171
What's the safest site to play junkbot on? Also I don't know if it was just because I was a dumb kid, but does Lego studios go anywhere? I could never finish any of the missions.

Personally I don't like how mudguards make every car look like a sport roadster (in my opinion at least). I've avoided getting any because I like the brickbuild look better.

That said I've got an order lined up that includes a bunch of yellow airplane side windows that I'm going to use with the four yellow mudguards I received and make a school bus.

>>6059219

>>6059230
There are 3 missions iirc, each unlocks the next one. There isn't another location besides the studio if that's you question.

>>6059251
It's for a mask stand. I'm sick of my current one with the two tops sandwiched and that black hexagonal frame on top. I want to experiment with possible switch-ups. Most likely going to use the spoked wheel with one of the new stalactite ones coming with the new Nexo sets.

They're not though
But I honestly prefer the juniorization in this case, it looks better than an equivalent made entirely of "normal" bricks

I think he's referring to the big sculpted aircraft nose that's used for just about every plane these days. I admit it looked good in that one tilt-rotor set but I'm not a fan of it being such a widespread replacement for brick-built designs. The jet in pic related will always look better to me than any of those newer "smooth" planes.

That should make a good mask stand. I'm assuming it's for the Mask of Creation? Are you gonna do one for the Mask of Control as well?

I enjoyed the half-octagon windows and pillars used in this, the International Jetport and the Victory Lap Raceway. There were enough to make some pretty decent sci-fi corridors even if you didn't have any space sets.
