>>6243425
Do they not sell instructions? I can't imagine bricklinking it would bring it to that high

>>6243427
It comes with some of their third-party parts, looks like.

>>6243425
Don't do it.

Brickmania's sets are overpriced and terrible quality, imo.

You're better off MOC'ing your own, or finding some instructions for a T-34/76 online somewhere else. Better yet, buy a Cobi Small Army T-34. Much bigger, and the quality of the plastic is just as good as Lego.

>>6243425
$160 is way too much; just build your own.

Not many of those parts look third party at all, honestly. Other than the fig parts and the treads (or its just a tread I havent seen), but you could use a different tread and a different fig and it would still look fine.

Build your own. the challenge is half the fun. If you really really must toss money at somebody, track down some decent MOC and offer to pay for instructions.

some time ago some anon here posted a very decent T-34 made in LDD, maybe he's still around.

>>6243425
No, it's way to much. I'll just give you instructions to some tanks I made if you don't feel like making your own. (I don't have Soviet tanks, though).

this is my curent lego setup. two questions for /lg/

1) what should I put in the red circled area? it has a LOT of height and the GOTG are there just temporarily
2) what empire vehicle should I put on the shelf above the rebels

>>6243545
The difference in height between the red and blue pieces is due to a plate under the black technic pieces, and no plate under the gray technic piece, so that wouldn't be illegal.

Are you trying to make a circle? Or an oval? because the half-stud gap between the gray and black technic pieces looks to be because you're not using a workable spacing between the 45 degree pieces.

I don't have any success hanging lego, the only time I tried was WAY too heavy (the 787 dreamliner) but if you try it, I'd suggest the following:
Thin fishing line. Even small stuff should be fine for small models.
Loop it under the model, don't try to dangle it from the top.
Be happy if it isn't perfectly level.
Use plates on the underside of the model to clamp the line in place (kind of illegal)

Based on the Lego Dimensions gateway (pic related) what you're doing wrong is having the diagonals be wider than the axes that are along each stud direction. Just make them all the same distance apart, or try spreading them a different way.

Did anything ever come of that rumored UCS Falcon re-release? Or was it just made up bullshit?

>>6243772
made up bullshit but is on safe assumptions with Ep 8 being this year.

>>6243774
I suppose. It's pretty annoying though. There's still a shit-load of vehicles from the movies they haven't given the UCS treatment and they're already going back and re-doing the ones they've already done. The faclon and xwing I can understand re-releasing. They're iconic as fuck. But who the fuck was begging for a re-release of the Snowspeeder or death-star playset? No one, that's who. Like, really, you're gonna do the snowspeeder a second time even though you still haven't done the AT-AT yet? Who's making these terrible decisions?

>>6243779
>death-star playset?
To be completely fair, the figs of the old one were REALLY out of date compared to new stuff. Some of which even had their molds be retired and replaced with more accurate stuff.

Was it worth it to completely rerelease it? Fuck no. But it's understandable.

Does anyone still have that tutorial pic about how to set up lighting when taking pictures?

Have a bricklink question...
I got that shark-Jawblade from hero factory in a very big bricklink order with tiny details. He came in separated package and everything looked great except this.

That area has bitemarks. It looks like a child tried to chew these connectors (axels?) off. BOTH of these pieces have exact same bitemarks and very loose now. If you put them in character's hands they will be kinda wobbly and probably will completely break someday.

Should i post a negative review or not? I kinda dont want... that order was so big and helpful/full of stuff i needed.

Getting 2 unique pieces that damaged this way sucks though...

You already have a Corner Deli? If so, get the Notorious Lowrider. The Movie sets are sure to be more popular than the Creator set, which means they'll disappear faster. The Joker is easily one of the best characters in the film, making the set more desirable than the Tail-Gator.

>>6243878
>>6243888
This anon raises some pretty fair points. The Lowrider is the more fun option of the three, but locally they seem plentiful. On the other hand, combined Delis would be really cool. To me, the Tail-Gator boils down to that cool Killer Croc bigfig, and not much else.

I'm never worried about availability in this age of online shopping with crazy fast shipping
That being said, in an ironic turn of fate, I went to my usual places intent on getting a deli and none of them had it.
They had lowriders but I'm just going to get that at the lego store because might as well get points if I'm paying full price. And of course I decide this right after double VIP points (and the store doesn't even open until noon on Sunday so now I'm just sitting here waiting and lusting over sweet sweet plastic crack)

>>6243939
Fap to some waifigs and take a nap. You should be okay til noon.

Going to my first real Lego store in about 90 minutes. I'm out on business and looked up the nearest store and it's close by! The nearest one to where I live is 1/4 day drive so I've never been. I usually buy shop@home, eBay, brick link, Craigslist finds etc. I know they have the wall that you can fill cups with Lego for a set price. Anything else I should be looking out for there? Tips???

It's not that I have an unlimited budget but cash isn't an issue really. I'm not into the Star Wars sets or stuff like that. I'm looking at building some good MOCs to go along with the creator modulars I already own.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Will follow up with how it goes. :-)

>>6243979

Which LEGO store?

>>6243979
Be sure to look for Build a Minifig stations. They sometimes have cool parts. Other than that, maybe check to see if they have anything on sale or clearance. I once asked about K boxes and got one for $20. You just don't know.

>>6243980
Boston store. Why??

>>6243981
What's a "K" box??

>>6243983

No reason. The nearest one to me is the one at the Mall of America in Minnesota. Just figured in the off-chance it was that one, I'd tell you a little bit about it.

Its a lot of fun going into one. First few times going in are glorious.

>>6243985
The thing they use to fill the pick a brick wall sections. It's a small-ish box of one piece. I believe they sell them for $100 normally. It is up to the manager if they want to sell them though.

>>6243966
I needed to finish up laundry anyway
also sorry for just blogging

>>6243979
They usually don't have anything you wouldn't find in another store, but they sometimes have good clearances and some cool stuff. But it is like being a kid in a candy store
Also the pick a brick wall is cool, but not a great value unless you fill the cup with hundreds of small pieces.
And there are also build a minifig stations that are three figs and an accessory for each for $10, and they sometimes have cool parts in there

>>6243987
So it's all the same piece in one box and not that large of a box? Do u get to chose the part?? Not sure I follow.

Anybody has pics of minifig scale power armor? I'm making a Fallout MOC. Thanks in advance

>>6243990
So it's three customized mini figs with an accessory for $10? $3.33 each right? Sounds cool!

It's all one color and the same part. It's not tiny, just small. If they are selling them you get to pick the part and whatever. They do only have so many different parts in stock. Here's my picture.

>>6243999
That is so worth the $20! But why would a manager sell the boxes they use to fill the wall containers when they sell cups for $15??

>>6244001
clearance

>>6244011
Ahh got it. They keep rotating the different parts they put in the wall. These would be boxes that are coming off the rotation? Do I ask a manager and call the K boxes and offer him $20? Sorry, I'm new to the store experience.

>Do I ask a manager and call the K boxes and offer him $20?
I mean you could. I'd just ask about K boxes or maybe even just call it "those boxes you fill the pick a brick wall with". Just get the general info. They'll tell you if they can sell them or if they have any deals. You're probably better off buying a few cups so you can get a few different parts and colors. Just don't let your wife's son touch anything and you'll be fine.

>>6244029
>K boxes
K boxes aren't really part of the typical "store experience" IMO. If you're using the candy store analogy, it's like randomly getting an entire box of candy bars for the price of just a few. Sure, it's possible. But not likely.

The coolest thing about lego stores for me is that they always have oversized builds, and little dioramas that aren't from any set. They're just unique things to look at. There's also some cute merch that you don't see too often, stationary and ice trays and whatnot. It's like walking into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, but less edible.

>>6244040
Thanks man. Much appreciated! Pretty stoked just to be going. I WILL not walk out of there empty handed. And my kids grown and gone. So no one's touching these but me! The GF actually supports my habit saying there's far worse things one could be addicted to.

The height of the blue and red piece is the exact same, the gap you see in the photo is created by the boomerang pieces not being suited for this kind of construction.

I think I might have to find a completely different way to construct my frame, as no one online has been succesful doing it this way.

Ok. Just left the store. Each large cup was $20. I know... Expensive. They knocked of 10% for being a VIP member. They were really lax about it though. My cup was over flowing and so was the lid. They were like that's ok and handed me a bag.

Got rows of 1x2 really odd colors. Doors as I'm a city builder. And a ton of black cheese slopes and random flat pink and purple round dots.

I felt I did ok and I'm happy for the experience. Let me know how I did.

The Halloween Fly is the best.
It works great both as a normal monster and an alien.
Both the molded head and claw are fantastic and the print it's extremely detailed! (well.. for a fly at least)
It just can't be topped.

Considering more "usual" minifigs, I'd go with the female boxer or the blue-haird cyborg.

It also gives me hope that one day they might make a Lego Futurama CMF series when they already have Zoidberg's claws.

File: fantastic lights and where to find them.jpg (87KB, 800x600px) Image search: [Google]

87KB, 800x600px

>>6244502

This is what my Legoverse looks like from outside time and space. I shoot really high skies, wide vistas, and other angles that make using a real lightbox impractical, so I turned my room into one. Those two pole lights each have three bulbs on them, regular CFL bulbs on the top two spots and UV blacklight CFL bulbs on the bottom ones. I got the lights at Walmart for $20 each. If you can't get your hands on stand-up lights, the main thing to making your pictures look good is understanding bounce lighting.

TO BE CONTINUED in next post

79KB, 800x600px

>>6244505

Here's the way the lights are positioned when I'm shooting something. Those paper circles attached to the lights are homemade baffles. They block the light from shining through from the lampshades, and are extremely important since I couldn't find more appropriate lights that already had opaque black shades. The point is, you need to make sure that you can control the direction that light is being emitted from, as I will elaborate on in the next post.

File: now that you know this you're basically a physicist.jpg (82KB, 800x600px) Image search: [Google]

82KB, 800x600px

>>6244506

In this picture, the red arrows are the hard, direct light that's going directly out of the lightbulbs. Thanks to the positions of the lights and the baffles, most of the direct light is aimed away from the table. It hits the walls, the ceiling, and all the other crap in the room and turns into a softer, more ambient light, represented here by all the yellow dicks aimed down at the table.

File: balanced try it.jpg (162KB, 800x1200px) Image search: [Google]

162KB, 800x1200px

>>6244508

In this comparison you can see the difference between aiming a light source directly at the set (top) or using bounce light (bottom). With a direct light source, you get a lot more reflections off the surface of the pieces, and it looks more like a toy. Creating ambient light makes it seem more "real" and immersive.

The last time I posted this, someone pointed out that the bounce lighting was causing a yellow tint because the walls of my Lego room are not white. That was fixed in Photoshop afterwards with a simple click of the Auto Color tool.

>>6244510

This is especially noticeable on minifigs, when a direct light can cause vertical bands of white light across the face that blots out the printing.

Here's the same shot with and without direct light.

File: prop art.jpg (87KB, 800x600px) Image search: [Google]

87KB, 800x600px

>>6244512

However, direct light can be used when you want to simulate the sun at a very low angle, as long as you have enough bounce light coming in from elsewhere.

Happy to take questions and I hope that helps!

It would have to be the Series 13 Goblin. That devious smile is just so charming, and there's something very appealing about his color combination. That he comes with an exclusive first use of the Green Goblin cap is the cherry on top.

He's the first CMF I've bought more than one of.

>>6244582
Speaking of which, do you still have a pile of Spooky Girls on you?

>>6244699
At my old store, we raffled off the old sets during store meetings or gave them away when we won bubble prizes (two surveys = 1 bubble prize)

My current manager doesn't seem to have any passion for the product. We still have old display sets sitting on the shelf gathering dust because she won't throw the super collectible ones away, but she won't give them to us either.

>>6244672
Holtzman from the 2016 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 does, I believe.

I'm hoping for another Goblin variant later on, with an Olive Green version of the Hobbit goblin headpiece. We can always use more of these greasy boys.

In my dream my friend was stealing Lego minifigs from opened bags in store and he (my friend) thought of something.

>buy box from Wal-Mart
>take minifigs
>claim that they were taken out of the box by a prior shopper/lifter
>take claim to Wal-Mart/Lego?
>???
Thoughts? Asking for a friend

>>6244762
If you came to my store and did that I'd say to call the customer service line, but then again, we don't sell anything if it looks like it's been opened.

Wallyworld on the other hand, I'm pretty sure you could take a dump in the lego box and say it was there when you bought it and I don't think they'd doubt you.

>>6244762
You'd have to make such a mess of the box to get all the minifigs out that it would be noticed and probably taken to claims and therefore never be sold. But Customer Service bends over backwards for customers and gives them refunds for stupid bullshit all the time(just got a banged up kylo's shuttle back taped up with dirty ass tape and missing one bag while the other bags numbers are off)

I really like her too and is still stock in my city. Although i do have to say i didn't necessarily neede 6 of them back when i sucked at fondling becaues bumpcodes weren't a thing anymore. It's mostly the expression that makes her so cool.

>Man reading about all these people working at Legostores makes me jealous.
I'm jealous that people have Lego stores to visit period. There's none in my country, and should I want to visit one, I have to take a trip of 300km to capital, from which I have to take a overnight ferry to Sweden, and even then I have to locate the actual store.

Being Finland is suffering

>>6244762
You could do that, but it seems like a lot of work to do something shitty.

But something tells me people will be nicer to you about doing that than if you mentioned a brand other than Lego in this thread.

>>6244807
Looks cool. Like it costs a fortune.

>>6244812
Ultra Agents aren't that expensive yet, excluding the final wave that was very limited

Looks like it's going for $70 tops on Bricklink.

I was a big fan of Ultra Agents. I loved Toxikita and collected all the sets of her I could.

Oh, and this set had the craziest independent suspension. .

You got that right, pal. Having a baby-punching habit is better than buying Lepin even once.

So of course we support shoplifting Lego!

>>6244762
>>6244811
>>6244823
>>6244829

So how about it, guys? I've only ever shoplifted maybe four CMFs in my life. Anyone have good tips for ripping off bigger sets?

Stories about returning boxes with half the bricks taken out? Or opening boxes in store and making off with the bags and instructions?

I'm sure guys who work at Lego stores must have tons of stories about walking off with merch. So let's hear 'em!

>>6244829
I regularly refer to Megablox as "heathen brick"

>>6244832
Go ask Planetary Prowler. He works at a LEGO Store.

>>6244832
Obviously I don't support shoplifting LEGO. During the holidays we literally had someone walk out with a Mindstorms set, but that's because we were horribly understaffed. I also wasn't there for that. I'm usually really good at preventing loss. The trick is just to make sure you're keeping in touch with everyone.. It's not just good customer service, it's the first and last line of defense against theft.

Anyway, just don't be a dick. I really warn against stealing from actual LBR stores, because we don't get reimbursed for the product and every set stolen is a cut to our hours. Plus most if not all LBR employees I know are really nice people who love their jobs.

Like I said, do whatever to Wally World. If I had a nickel for every "I can get this cheaper at Walmart" customer...

There's only so much I can keep my smile on as you're telling me that. What do they really expect me to say? "Good for you?"

>>6244780
>probably taken to claims and therefore never be sold
I saw this one $30 set (of Kreo) duct-taped and marked down to $10 at Wal-Mart, a few weeks after the box was opened and left on the shelf

speaking of KAZI, looks like their next theme ("Mechanical Beast") is magitek/steampunk fantasy based

>>6244843
Thanks for telling me about the X-Agents trucks. I figured it was smaller (based on the studs/scale). I'll keep a lookout for the magitek stuff!

>>6244832
Also, literally the only thing I take from my store is the occasional giveaway item, provided we have enough, and my bagfuls of playbrick that we never use. Which I show to my employer.

I like my job too much to jeopardize it. I just wish I got more hours.

... Oh, but I did snag those Darth Revans. I dunno, that's not really theft. They're not inventoried.

Call me a goody two-shoes but I don't think I've ever stolen something from a workplace. I have, however, snuck patches and jewelry from Hot Topics and shit. I haven't paid for any of the patches that I'm putting on my vest.

I steal a patch every time an employee is a dick to me.

>>6244847
How much info on upcoming products do you have access to? Like, I'm not asking for the information, just the amount of it.

>I steal a patch every time

Too bad.

>>6244879
Bingo. She was a Gymboree manager first.

>>6244881
Oh well. Can't win them all I guess.

At least the store has at least one fan on the staff (ie. you).

>>6244881
>She was a Gymboree manager first.
So maybe she thinks she likes kids, but she's not actually into kid stuff? Sounds kinda lame. Sorry, Planetary Prowler.

>>6244832
>Anyone have good tips for ripping off bigger sets?
For Walmarts all it requires are a decent sized coat and knowing camera blindspots. Now I've never even attempted a REALLY big set, but I managed to get out recently with an Ecto-1 set since the boxes are thin and fuck financially supporting that movie, even in Lego form.

>>6244889
>knowing camera blindspots
How do?

>>6244887
I'm a huge fan, but not a collector. Growing up, I was poor as fuck and only had two LEGO sets... The 25th anniversary bin with the silver brick, and the Planetary Prowler. Now that I'm older and it's my money, I treat myself every so often, but it's rare. I think I'm only really good at my job because I learn fast and I take note of things that other people don't - I can see things the way a kid would see them, so I can find the parts of a set that kids would think is cool, and I can ask the right questions to get them thinking creatively.

>>6244888
The way I see it, she thinks kids are cute but she connects more with the parents, and she only approaches the store from a business standpoint. That's all.

I mean, I connect with the parents too, but more in either a "here are the benefits to your child" mode or an "embrace your suppressed inner child again" mode.

Anyway, I gotta get to bed, I'll try and reply to any other questions tomorrow.

>>6244809
Same for me. I know of just one unofficial one in another city that has a nice selection and pab walls and baf display. Luckily i got to check out two real legostores in germany on the road for summervacation.

Obviously don't do this WHILE you plan on stealing stuff, because that makes it suspicious as fuck. But my local Walmart has been around since 2004 so I had a lot of time to survey and keep an eye on the cameras and where they are looking. Sporting goods area (minus the guns of course) are pretty shockingly and easy area to hide stuff in. Grocery areas too. My Walmart has bathrooms near the electronics/layaway area. You really just have to know your store.

It also helps actually shopping and buying stuff. Grab something from a toy section and walk around with it and then it eventually disappears and you walk out ten minutes later it going to be noticed. Grab some tampons, body lotion, a Lego set, a DVD, a frozen pizza, a case of water, mixed nuts and a Blu-Ray of Oscar Winner Suicide Squad and when you get to the selfcheckout no one is probably going to notice you are hiding a couple catwoman sets in your coat.

But I have to buy all of that

I really want to get this when it comes out, but it will probably cost like 400$. I have made 3 plans in desperation.
A. Hope that it comes in late summer so I can get money for it from summer job.
B. Sell bike and stop eating.
C. Try to find someone who owns it, and try to make them sell copy of its instructions.

>>6244998
>D. Git gud and learn how to reverse engineer builds by looking at the pictures

Srsly nigga it's just a box with a slightly smaller box mounted on top of it. Reverse engineering it will be super easy assuming you have eyes and a moderate knowledge of the entire Lego piece catalog.

>>6244998
I'd suggest finding instructions for similar tank models if desperate and figure it out from there

>>6245012
I'm usually China tier reverse engineer it, but the angled plates are always my weakness. That has been my problem with reserve engineering Sdkfz 222 too. I'm just too brainlet to imagine where the hinges should be and how far out they should be. I haven't found any tutorials or tricks with angling plates. Does Lego professionals even have name for this technique?

>>6245021
For some reason that sounds like specially good idea.
And I just realized that people making review videos of it will most likely accidentally break it at least once so the whole world will see what's inside of it

I know how you feel. It was a struggle to try and replicate the angle of the plates on this here Dalek model. It's not just the position of the plate, but also the bricks behind it that keep it there.

Went through Cardiff during work today, picked up a little haul and I'm enjoying the look of Sky pirates so might get some more.

Once I receive this, should I leave neutral feedback? The seller didn't contact me at all, and didn't even respond to message I sent.

>>6244634
>t I'd save your money and get the Disney Castle if you haven't already. That thing is retirement money

I doubt it. Lego will milk that for all its worth. Most people will think the same resulting in many being made and sold.

When looking for investments you look for a good set that will be overlooked for one reason or another - in this case people will overlook the Pirate ship because of its lack of a hull - yet it'll be worth a lot.

>>6245147
Also tempted for misfortunes keep, maybe mix it up with that smaller airship to create something bigger
