Also there's supposed to be a gun on the left side as well but I've lost it.
>>6291373
There isn't really anything that matches too well. You could try these.
I recently completed my Jack, and I just took a quick stab at armored jack.

Congratulations on leaving your dark age
Wash your klocki and sort it by type, not color

a paintbrush is pretty good for dusting lego.
Neat vehicle. I like the tons of controls/computers.
>>6294147
>You need to wash your pieces.
Why would you wash the history off of them? That's a badge of honor! They survived all these years to this point. Can you even guess how many times they've probably been stepped on and cursed? There is POWER there, boy!
>>6294195
Nah, everybody knows bite marks are where the real power is. Dirt is just gross.

One of my newer builds.
I've got a thing with this building type that I enjoy. On the backside I have a Starbucks on the first floor.
Thoughts??
>>6294284
Where'd you get your pieces?
>>6294284
The backside. The interior of all 3 floors is completed with floors that come off true to Creator fashion.
>>6294286
I've owned Lego since I was a young lad. Recently this winter I came out of my dark ages and it's fun being an adult and now I can spend whatever I want on my bricks. :-)
>>6294286
But to answer your specific question. Some bricks I've had for 35+ years. I buy on bricklink, shop at home, stores, Craigslist, etc.
>>6294297
Lucky, I gave my bucket to my younger family.
>>6294305
My kid had full access to my entire collection and for years we built together. I'd buy pretty much whatever she wanted and then some. Then she moved out and didn't take them.
>>6294080
>$23 snowtrooper
Who does this man think he is?
>>6294334
Here's a shot of the top floor. It's got a desk with an adjustable lamp, a bed, a bookcase, and a glass shower in the bathroom.
>>6294344
Tenants have moved in!
>>6294344
very nice, but investing in some studless tiles would be cool to cover up the floor since it's thee same color as the wall

Thank you.

Oh I'm planning on tiling. Just not yet.
>>6294353
Starbucks close to being done.
>>6294375
The backside.
>>6294379
My spiral staircase in the main lobby.
>>6294383
And the entrance to Starbucks. I've modified this a little since.
>>6294375
>using Lego bricks to build a fucking Starbucks
>>6294344
seconding what the other anon said about the floor. Light bley tiles would look nice, and differentiate from the walls
Other than that I'm really liking this.

>>6294391
Relax. He could have called it some silly Lego pun. Like Starbricks. PLUS! I don't see you posting anything Lego related at all unless we count complaining. Go to PBBG or Boinicle friends for that.
>>6294383
oh man, some sick scenarios can go down with this building, envious!
>>6294367
I've been on a vehicle kick lately, so I'll say vehicles
4chan.org
>>6294391
Ha! I can build a whole chain of them if I choose. I may do a Dunkin Donuts on the other side of town down the road. When you have as much klocki as I do... I was inspired by the starbucks cup sitting in front of me when I started. That and the fact I built one about 18 years ago. This was a much nicer effort.
>>6294393
Yea, I've got some ordered. I wish Lego would put them on their pick a brick wall sometime.

Note to whoever makes the next thread when this one reaches 50 replies
>>6294628
Very Futuron color scheme, nice.
So with the awful Ranthar set coming out, nothing will ever beat it for worst SW set. So currently,what is the worst one available? Pic related does it for me, it's ugly to even look at
>>6294668
I kind of like that one, but I've got an unholy fetish for gray bricks.
worst is probably Battle on Tacodana, not even bacon flag is worth $50 or whatever it costs.
>>6294648
Really I just picked white and blue because it's an easy color-scheme to work in (in regards to piece/color availability). But thank you, no less.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0NHvpCG6eE
>>6294772
>What's so shit about it?
The big complain I have is pretty standard to these kinds, even more expensive sets like The Ghost. It's just a basic mockup and what little interior they give you is completely inadequate for the figures. Okay, that's common enough. Still at least the original Milano had more room and even room for Quill's tape player.
Forget fitting Groot in there, though. Hated that design anyway, wish they'd just given us a bigfig instead of that stupid brick built piece of crap.
>>6294808
>Shitty final product
>>6294831
Why must lego constantly cycle through themes? Do they just dump a theme if its not profitable? Because it seems like every fucking theme lasts 2-3 years for getting axed unless it's ninjago...
But evne ninjagot hey tried to fucking cancel with chima.
>>6294813
UCS Milano when?
>>6294843
Kids grow up and get "too old" for toys faster than you think, and new kids come and replace them.
Take Bonkle for example. Some of the target audience wasn't even born yet when the original run ended. This is also why we get police stations and fire departments every other year. For a normal kid, trying to find a set from even couple of years back is nigh impossible
>>6294851
>Kids grow up and get "too old" for toys faster than you think.
And what about us,Sherlock?
We are kids? 20,30 are kids?
For example I have 23 and I like collecting Bayformers figures and Lego.PS.My girlfriend doesn't know that yet...
>>6294854
>My girlfriend
Hahahahaha
Good joke.
>>6294854
You're not the target audience, shitcock. You can go get that 5 or so years old set with ease, kids can't.
And Lego wants to keep it fresh. Why else do you think there's been several space themes, when classic space could've been just fine?
My setup
>>6294871
Would play Brikwars on. Room color scheme's a little bleak, though.
>>6294879
>Would play brikwars on
I'd love to do this with some kind of zombie survival on this particular setup. seems perfect for it.
>also mfw none of my friends are autistic enough to play brikwars with me
>>6294890
Back in the day, I built a Lego city and hosted a zombie survival Brikwars over a forum. It was pretty good fun, though I don't dare provide a link to anything I did in middle school.
Maybe we could use the Quest board for something similar?
>>6294897
how does that work? I assume the host takes pictures and whatnot while participants describe what they're gonna do
>>6294668
The Battle on Hoth UCS is real shitty too
>>6294367
A) I don't exactly have a favorite but I like this gal.
B) Mostly character builds. I like the poseability, makes them feel more "alive".
C)https://www.flickr.com/photos/lingonkart/
>>6294936
That's the gist of it. The host builds the map and gives the scenario with some pictures, and then players sign up for characters or factions.
At the start of each turn, the host lays out the current conditions with text and images. Usually this is a few wide shots of the map mixed with some close ups where necessary.
In a PvP game, the players usually private message their actions for the turn to the host; in coop, they can be public. Since everyone decides what to do at the same time, you have to be flexible about how the host should interpret your orders if some of them are impossible by the time they get to your turn.
Then the host plays through the round as directed by each of the players, ad-libbing where necessary. When the round is done, they take pictures and post the current situation for the next round.
Repeat until finished.
Has anyone cut capes much? I'm wondering if they fray.
I want to make some ponchos.
>>6294367
A) I wouldn't say its my favorite moc of all time, but its my favorite that I currently have already posted online.
B) Sci-fi military, I currently have a mech/vehicleshit army project I'm 3 months in now that is slowly but steadily getting progress.
C) https://www.flickr.com/photos/34673042@N02/ Haven't posted anything in like 3 years now, gonna change that this year though.
Thread trivia question: Whats the best lego alien of all time?
PS: I really like all the replies these questions get, thanks for taking the time to interact anons it makes my day.
>>6294997
Either this guy or squidman from SPIII
I actually like the unposable mars mission aliens too, I think they're cute
>>6294997
This guy was pretty cool. kinda miss mine, lost them a long time ago.
>>6295029
UFO dudes are cheap on bricklink
>>6295042
not the black helmet ones
>>6295042
Red guy is pretty cheap but they're $10+ in Australia
>>6294854
Lego is a toy for children.
Not manchildren, just children.
>>6294997
Snake from SPIII is pretty okay.
Or CMF gray.
I have some good news fo you all:
Today I got an Email from my friend,he is a Lego Designer.I asked him many weeks ago if there is going to be a new space theme in the future and he said:
"We are working on 5 space themes,3 are done.Two will have their own TV Show that will be released in the next decade.The three themes that are done will be smaller.
In 2018 will be released one in august,months after Han Solo release,the other one will be realesed in 2019-2020(it depends on how the first line sells,if it sells good then it will have another wave),from 2021you will see a lot of spae themes.The new space themes need to have an release date after the all star wars hype is down,the new themes will have an story(but only two an cartoon) and app games with scannable features.I'm very proud on what we did."
I'm very excited for the new themes that will come.
>>6295070
>inb4 all 5 are SW spinoffs
>>6295070
>my dad works at lego guys trust me
>>6295070
confirmed, my dog's friend's owner's daughter's babysitter's uncle told me via dream smoke messages that Space Police IV is happening soon.
I'll never get bored of skellies
What's in your opinion the best Nexo Knights set?
Mine is this:
I everytime wondered,who won this?
>>6295097
>massive clusterfuck where everything looks messy and contrasing while at the same time looking identical.
>>6295093
Fortrex IMO.
bitching about vehicleshit's kind of memey now but damn, how many NK sets did we get that are not vehicles? Two? Three?
>>6294058
God damn, I forgot about these, I had most of them.

>>6294829
>no ice skeleton raptor with Gatling gun arms
Why live
>>6294997
I have a soft spot for the Life on Mars aliens
yay, toitle!
>>6294966
The only things wrong with the Hoth UCS are the price (should be $200 even with all those minifigs) and the UCS designation.
>>6295088
Skeletons are dope
I need to buy more gear to pimp out my skeleton army
>>6294990
They shouldn't if you use a sharp exacts knife
But also making your own is pretty easy if you're worried, look up some tutorials
>>6294854
Lego says that AFOL purchases are about 5% or below of the entire sales
Which isn't nothing, but most all the money is in kids
We have the modulars and ideas, and Asking for more is a losing battle
>>6295184
>I need to buy more gear to pimp out my skeleton army
I had a load of spare castle bits lying around, so I just used them. What's great about skellies is that you don't need to stick to a uniform or colour scheme, it can be as rag-tag as you want as it's an army drawn from countless generations.
>>6295165
I feel this way about the UCS death star set too, IMO. UCS feels more like a designation that belongs to models (the set on a shelf kind) than playsets.
>>6295186
>But also making your own is pretty easy if you're worried, look up some tutorials
I mainly want to cut capes so they fit in nicely alongside the other cloth pieces.
>>6294997
These guys for sure. It was cool that all the UFO guys had different faces and all of them had some translucency.
>>6295097
They were damn lucky whoever they were.
>>6295093
The Fortrex is probably the most iconic Lego set I've seen in years. I like the smaller vehicles with the generic knights and lava guys a lot too other than the one with the two axes and no back wheel.
If you got into lego through a license or through the lego movie, you don't belong on here.
If you had a 'dark age', you don't belong on here.
If you're not a purist, you don't belong on here.
If you buy off-brand stuff (megabloks, etc) you don't belong here.
If you only make minifigs and not proper creations, you don't belong here.
If you don't belong here, you don't belong here. NORMIES OUT.
>>6294846
I modded mine last week to have the new parts from the new smaller one!
>>6295259
the TLBM movie got me into chinese legoes after my dark ages, is that okay?
>>6294846
I would love a UCS by the time the third film comes round!! Its only going to be worth it to me if its damn huge though!
Got a nice Cozy cockpit now!
>>6295288
That is a very nice looking ship.
>>6295295
Ty anon, connecting that new nosecone was a bitch!
I saw my TRU had the minifigs out on the floor on Saturday - I couldn't stay to check because I had to be somewhere, but now I'm thinking to go back and start feeling some up and get some.
>>6295259
I'm sure you're tons of fun in person
>>6295259
There is a no such thing is a purist anon. Lego themselves cut and glue blocks together, is that too much for you?
>>6295259
>never having a dark age

Wew lad
>>6295353
Was Knights Kingdom 2 proto-Nexo Knights? We had color coded knights fighting over a being on pure evil
>>6295356
Nope, Ninjago on the other hand is a bastard child of KK2 and Ninja themes.
>>6295353
I understand why KKKII sets get a lot of hate, but I never got why people don't like the figures.
They're a bit garish, but the molds are good and I think the colourful armours work fine.
>>6295365
I just took a quick look of the sets.
Sure, the ultra builds are crap, and I say this as a Bonkle fan, but some of the actual sets are perfectly fine. Sure, most of them are just facades, but there's way less vehicles than nowadays
>>6295375
My main criticism is that they often used large, single pieces for walls and such (though this is a problem castle has had for ages) and the colour schemes.
Late KKII is weird, I'm never sure what to think about it.
>>6294851
>Some of the target audience wasn't even born yet
. . . But, wait. . . new audience is being born all the time? I think I don't get what you're saying here.
>>6295070
How come your friend has exactly the same poor spelling and punctuation that you do?
>>6294854
>We are kids? 20,30 are kids?
To people who are 40, 50 you are. It's all in the perspective.
Especially 20-somethings. They are definitely goddamn kids who need to get off my lawn!
>>6294871
Wow, nice! I'm most jealous that you have room to actually lay out a setup like that.
>>6294975
Sounds like your basic forum-based RPG. Man, I remember running a first-generation Digimon one back when it was still airing. Actually had time to run it too. Those were the days.
I said get off my lawn!
>>6295394
How the fuck do they even know that?
>>6295088
I like!
Do you have a hero/group who fights the skellies?
>>6295190
>Lego says that AFOL purchases are about 5% or below of the entire sales
>>6295394
>They actually said it's less than 1%.
I read somewhere that AFOLs are a myth and they don't count for any of Lego sales. The term AFOL is a misnomer: So-called "adults" are mostly developmentally arrested non-minors with some disposable income.
This is bait.
>>6295402
I have loads of random hero figures.
You might want to call these guys if you have a skellie problem though
>>6295284
Literal cancer
>>6295412
Paladins and a white clothy! Magnificent!
>>6295353
Did you know that in 2007 we were going to get KKII sets? Yes,we were,I read an old article about KKII and it was planned an invasion wave,an army of Gargoyles was going to attack the kingdom of Morcia(that was the name,right?).
>>6295259
If you are a massive cunt you don't belong here.
>>6295452
Cool.I like the Nexo gargoyles but I'm dissapointed that we didn't get any cathedral for Jestro with a big organ.

>>6295577
kek, didn't know that
Maggie's torso is more fun to play around with than I realized. Wish it (and the long arms/legs) came in more colors, though
>>6295662
whelp, something to add to the wanted list
thanks anon
>>6295677
You're welcome
It actually adds a bit of height. Not too many pieces in the same color, but I figure it can be used for a mage or a giant or something. Another anon a few threads back posted about using it for a halfling wizard, which wouldn't be a bad idea
>>6295029
Huh, I've actually got that dude, the red and blue droids, and a buttload of Zotaxians. They weren't mine, originally, must have been my little brothers. Last things I got before my dark ages was a few Exploriens. I barely remember them but I definitely don't remember UFO.
Honestly they don't really make much of an impression on me.
>>6295690
That's a good idea, I can't believe I never tried to stick that piece on a pair of legs. I just made a short evil alien.
I made mine into an evil alien.
>>6295710

>>6295720
>two-handed weapons actually being held by both hands
That's actually possible.
>>6294668
Considering this was recently a complete 50% off on Amazon, of all places, this might truly be a great contender.
>>6295407
Well more accurately I took all the orange and slapped it on the old one along with the new decals and canopy! A lot of extra bits to merge the two as well!
I know the old one's bigger but is the new Milano any good?
>>6295777
It's a more compact and affordable version for kids
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLJswZ5xsNc
>>6295781
So no.
>>6295777
Its alright but nothing compared to the original hence I got the new parts to add to the old one!
>>6295784
That looks great by the way.
So the rest of my recent Bricklink orders came in today, so here's some characters I finished up with them.
You've probably seen two of them before.

look at that fake fucking bootleg gamora, china brick shit
Modified the Beetle to actually fit the minifig (the previous version used the same roof as 40252, just barely too low to fit a minifig). It's quite difficult to do much more with dark azure bricks.
>>6295777
the blue front pieces never stay attached--I just built it last night-- it' way more swooshable-- but it's shit to get minifigs in and poorly designed.
>>6295784

A toddler would be busy choking to death on the pieces, or sticking the smallest up his nose and in his ears, while his mom readies the vacuum cleaner to suck them out. If she steps on an errant piece now and goes down she won't be able to save her baby in time!
Stay tuned for the next episode of REAL LIFE LEGO DRAMA!
>>6295093
Fortrex for sure.
I also quite like General Magmar's siege machine, still have both sets built.
I'm a lego employee and word is that the whole summer wave might get cut, so that dragon set and the cool helmet villain in Aaron's set may never reach store shelves.
I really hope not though, I quite like Nexo and hope it continues.
>>6295888
That looks pretty god anon.
I'd like to see a Scaramouche.

That's really nice!
The second version also has a bit of a 50s american feel. Like a Packard or something.
>>6293649
>>6294234
nice one, like this one a lot better than the character next to the bugatti. It's stylized but still unmistakenly Lego!
>>6295088
I really like the one with the green, nice mix of oldschool and modern detail. That's a ninjago spook/robe piece right?
>>6293788
The mixel eyes, pipes and hektikk sick camber really finish this one off.
Do you think you can make it seat a minifigure using a vehicle base a la speedchamps and panels? Maybe some minimal snot to lock it in to be more stable?
>>6294375
This kitchen looks the best.
Is the floor supposed to be green carpet? It looks a bit like grass to me now. (then again i don't like coffeem so don't remember starbucks that well) The pattern tiling you made outside looks excellent for example!
Also mad props for actually including stairs, people tend to cheap out on those. One day i'll implement them hopefully.
Were you the red house anon i suggested the half-stud recessed windows a whole while back to? Because if so you changed it a lot!
>>6294367
>a picture of your favourite moc that you made
Some might frown upon this but i probably like my figures the most.
like another anon said itt, it gives it ' ife'. Pic related is probably my favourite for starting their world.
>a list of the things you enjoy building
Minifig-scale interiors/furniture/electrical equipment, Souped-up cars. Minifigs/waifs.
Used to be a big spaceship guy but hardly do those ever anymore. Buildings i also really like but are hard to get done often because of parts/space intensity.
>and lastly, post a link to your Flickr profile (or equivalent).
I actually deleted mine not too long ago after yahoo was hacked. I hardly recall using it. I am not good with computer, i only post here up until now. This website and deviantart are just archaic and simple enough for me to pleasantly use.
>>6295843
I got 70012 today, and while it looks like it's gonna be a fun set, it's tough seeing how awesome the concepts originally were.
>>6295958
Im the guy who posted the pic so I know what figs are legit!
More accurately Starlords Body is from a keyring, his head is fake.Hair is German footballer CMF, Drax,Nebula and Gamora are fake, Rockets real. At the time I was buying a shit load of sets without figs. I really needed the guardians so I got KO ones!
>>6295832
post! would love to see how it works.
>>6295969
I only Have fake Marvel and DC FIGS. KO bricks go straight in the bin.Id rather spend money on actual bricks for my city,Space stuff and Galaxy squad army which is all "purist"
>>6295921
They better not cut them; it was bad enough when they pulled that on Bionicle last year.
>>6295866
>not having a huge lego city on display

I'm starting to think the 'Chinese Legos have chemicals' anon was on to something, Enlighten blocks smell pretty bad fresh out of the bag.

Psychosomatic. He's playing you, anon. It's okay, lick them, they're safe.
>>6296003
You really need a table though anon!
>>6295933
I did this because the daughters are basically just silhouettes, Scaramouch doesn't really lend himself to that since he has a lot more implied 3D.
Might do Jack though, and I am messing around with a mixel-joint scale daughteru.
>>6295809

Ninjago and then S18 which is "costume party"
>>6296013
Mm, tastes like gutter oil and suffering!
At least these minifigs are pretty cool.
>>6295795
nice army. I want to make something similar but I'm reluctant to start using bricklink myself. I think I will ultimately go way overboard and buy too many old figs and sets.
I think I need a new camera, this one insists the hair is blue while it's really an exact match to Lego purple.
>>6296046

>Kid Ashi was thrown in a pile of Chinese chemicals used to create knockoff Lego, the same crap from which Aku was spawned
It's all starting to make sense...
Now I have 1x2s with studs on two sides. And surprise printed parts.
We Classic People Space Liberation Army now.
>>6296069
I'm aware lol
>>6296122
The problem is them parts dont add up in Lego maths when it comes to snot building. If it was a 1x2x2 plate with studs on both sides it would be perfect!
>>6295971
Everybody has something important to them otherwise what would be the point of the hobby? Whatever people like is fine for them and who gives a shit about people who complain? They don't like it they can enjoy collecting the way they like and more power to 'em.
Personally I like both. Minifigs are sweet, sure, and it's nice having a variety. CMF lines make it easy to amass a wide variety of different figures for just about anything you'd want to create. But too many figs without anything to do with them is, well, pretty boring. It's nice having them in their "natural environment" for displays. And yeah they do bring a life to other creations.
From the mentality of a figure/model collector I'm sure it can make sense to just have the minifigs and a few accessories and just line up on a shelf, but when they have so many different things they can be, so many places you can create to populate with them, it feels like a waste leaving standing around collecting dust.
Really my only problem is never having enough space.
>>6296148
This is why I cut down on collecting CMF. Any Town , space or costumes are must haves as I will have a place for them to "live" but anything medival or historic or specific wont get a "home"
>>6296141
I don't see what you mean, anon? They're exactly as thick as a Lego plate.
also, parts on sprues, what is this madness.
>>6296151
That's the problem, though, how do you know what you might regret not buying later? What fig to populate your town or useful parts for your new waifig?
Then it's off to throw money at bricklink like a piece of shit, as usual.
>>6295791
Damn, this cuberdeck is ancient.
>>6295921
I dread the idea that they will: the entire point I got back into Lego was because Nexo was both cool and didn't cost an arm and a leg for the good sets like all the old Castle ones (Fortrex for 70.00$? works for me!) I just think Nexo needs to be given a chance to really shine like the Castle theme before it.
>>6294997
>>6295001
These two.
>>6296173
Lego has a lot of ratios and numbers that can be usefull to know when snot building. The most simple is 3 plates = 1 brick which most people know but it gets more and more complex such as 5 plates=1 brick height.
If you use this double studed plate its missing a plate of thickness to line up with any other "Lego maths" so to speak!!
If you stick a 1x2 plate on each side of it its all good!
Posted my setup will post some close ups, and no I'm not 5, I'm 32
>>6296174
Im usually pretty broad with who I get. CMF 17 led me to get
Yuppie (as 80s cops partner)
retro spaceman (Space)
Hotdog vendor (For my hotdog shop in my train station)
Baker (for my bakery)
Then the 3 costumed figs, corn,rocket and butterfly!
>>6296215

I skipped the surfer as I already have one and my Town only has a pool for aquatic themes. I dont plan on having a Vet clinic and I dont need a french guy, I might get him eventually however.
The rest dont appeal to me!
Added some customization to the soldiers fort
>>6294367
1) I don't have a favorite, but I always wanted to build one of these and then I did.
2) Tanks, spaceships, and mechs, with a few other things in between.
3) I don't have a Flikr, I have a brickshelf and a MOCpages which i haven't updated in a while and still has some old-ass shit. Apparently my MOCpages comes up if you google image "Top Attack Defeat Munition."

>>6296306
Doesnt look too bad but still aint a scratch on the proper Modular one but I wanted a custom! It will look good one day!
>>6296206
Ahh I see what you mean.
And seems like keeping it one plate thick allows more possibilities, smooth 3-plate-thick aircraft wings come to mind.

I did a couple, using a brand-new deluxe Sword of Exact Zero. As you can see, it frays a little bit but it's hardly noticeable.

Any tips and tricks on making a Lego [Soft and Wet]?
So with all the disappointment over this year's Nexo Knights sets, what are some set ideas you guys have for it?
>Hard Mode: Vehicles only.
love the rebel comment since my gamer tag always has rebel in it, also not pubes , thats my wifes long black hair shes honduran yes who would of known this when i got married it always clogs the drain too,and i have structures not just base plates, i posted my entire city under anonymous, here it is again.
Updated stance-rod
>>6296413
I'd play off the Fortrex and make support buildings/vehicles. Like a windmill/granary that slowly stomps along on six wide feet.
>>6296447
possibly finished on Dusengatti Track-type
>>6296413
This is a good idea. It satisfies the need for Lego to make all of their sets vehicles while also giving time to structures. But, wouldn't that make the sets prohibitively expensive? I mean, it in essence means that every Nexo set is a building plus half a car/mech to stand it on.
I just noticed this "Only at TRU" label on the new A-Wing (75175). Anyone know if this is a timed exclusive or is TRU gonna be the only place to get it (besides the Lego store, which appears to have it too)?
Today I made desert plants.
Whatcha think? Bonus points if you can name 'em all.

>>6296507
Lego is very rarely timed exclusive. So those two are your only options.
Also, I don't know if I want that or not. I really want Lando, but rest of the figs don't appeal to me, I already have A-wing from Rebels and I sure as hell won't be paying 65€ for it

I'm thinking of getting into stop motion.
Anyone done it? Main thing I'm worried about at the moment is getting the lighting right.
>>6296877
Lighting is a concern of mine as well. I think that as long as the light is the same, it should be ok. Flickering is the worst.
>>6296740
Are those center bricks reflective, or just flat silver?
>>6296877
>>6296893
Stop motion animator here, though not lego since I do it for work and lack the equipment at home (and also don't really want to animate lego). Flickering is a bitch and I wish I had more advice on it, but some good tips are to have a long shutter speed and avoid natural or fluorescent lighting (I've used a lot of led lights as they are pretty constant)
This is a good thing on it that goes into some depth
https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/reducing-flicker-for-stop-motion-animation-and-time-lapse-photography/
We use dragon frame and big boy cameras, but honestly there are plenty of phone apps for it and most recent phones have pretty good cameras for it, all you'll need is a sturdy tripod.
And then of course learning about storyboarding, timing and principles of animation are all really important to make your stuff stand out
Thinking of getting the new Millenium Falcon at the lego store on may 4th since it's 40% off, is it worth it or should I get something else?
>>6296929
>avoid natural or fluorescent lighting
I had never heard that I should be avoiding fluorescent lighting. I guess it's slightly obvious now that I think about it. Thanks for the help.

Callooh callay, what a frabjous day, for I have found the Series 17 CMFs at my local store. Nearly first one to fondle them too, I think. There's nothing like the literal feel of learning a new set of figures one bag at a time. Pity there were only three rocket boys but I'll settle for a small strikeforce of retro spaceguys.
>>6297307
I want to say you're way to into this. . . but I understand the near-sexual charge you get out of this stuff.
At least you have something in life that gives you that. Not everyone is so lucky.
>>6297313
Damn it! TOO! I meant to say you're way TOO into this.
Fuck me, I hate when people use the wrong version of "tew" and I did it! I'm going to go hit my fingers with a hammer or slam them in my car door or something. Argh!
>>6297313
It's Lego. If you're not getting into it, what are you doing here?
That said some people have been talking up the overstocking of Batman bags keeping Series 17 from shelves. They still had Bats at my store but luckily still put the new ones out too. Course they had twice as many Bat CMFs so apparently it is true that places overstocked for the movie. Understandable but I don't think those things will move until they at least shave some of the price off. At least 10% would have been something, nope, still full price.
>>6297307
I felt some up the other day.
Wish I bought more, I need more yuppies to build up my russian mafia.

>>6297330
Russians didn't acquire tracksuit technology until after the Iron Curtain fell. Until then they had to make do with cheesy polyester suits like their American counterparts. Of course even then the Slavs have still excelled in their mastery of the tracksuit so they can perform their famous squats.

Anon from the other thread. Added some tiling to my second floor apartment. Loving the green and white tiled bathroom. I integrated a rug into the floors pattern. Thoughts??
>>6297651
That looks really, really nice with the tiles.
What does your shower look like? I use the black ice cream cone for a spigot.
>>6297663
Uh it's an oddball piece. Sorta like a megaphone thing. I'll have to take some more pictures. Haven't had all that much time to build last few days. I'm renovating my basement into a game room/Lego room. So real building with real 2x4s. I'm thinking of using carpet squares for my flooring because I'm thinking in Lego. (Is that even possible?)

>>6297717
And your tops forgot the reacharound every single time? My heart goes out to you.
>>6297651
Is that hanger a real piece? I'd guess it's some obscure thing from Belville, but the scale is too small.
>>6297753
I've got no idea. I bought a lot of assembled belville sets a few months ago. I parted them out for strictly rebuilding.
Made a couple of patriarchs
Also think I'm finally closing in on a decent-looking minifig-scale keyboard. Adjustable legs are sturdy at waist height, and they fold up neatly for storage.
Of course the whole thing rests on having a printed tile that was apparently only in five sets in a two-year period in the eighties, but they're fairly cheap on cracklink.
>>6297783
>>6297753
I don't think it's a real Lego. This is what the Scala hanger looks like.
>>6297651
I know it's too late, but having the rug raised may look cool
Half a plate up would be cool, but that also seem so like a lot of snot work
>>6297688
Yeah, carpet squares are a thing
My folks had some but they were kind of over priced
But the upside was that if you messed it up you could just replace once square
>>6297818
huh, I didn't think those tiles were quite that rare.
Have you considered black finger hinges over a white tile?
>>6297797
You need that highway man torso

Problem is, I absolutely want it to fit into a 2x4 space, I want pronounced edges, and I want it to be as flat as possible. This looks adorable as hell (couldn't find any 1x2 white tiles at the moment) but I really want to keep it at exactly the volume it's at now.
>>6297832
What do you think I'm building side characters for
>>6297829
What I meant was while I've been redoing my basement I've been looking at the renovations as if I'm building with Lego. Then while shopping at Home Depot I saw carpet squares and it all made sense. Not too expensive. For a little over $600 I can have a nice comfy game/Lego room in 2' by 2' tiles. (2x2 tiles!)
>>6297876
I don't know, bro.
Seems kinda tacky.
>>6297876
Make sure you get colors that are easy to spot pieces that have fallen onto the floor.
>>6297848
>a 2x4 space
Yeah, that's kind of limiting.
I had to try something here, but I don't think it worked very well. Ugly.
>>6297889
It looks like a cute star wars droid!
>>6297889
Cute robot.
>>6297888
Yea. Was planning on building a pretty big table for my builds but yea if I drop a piece it could go unnoticed until I step on it. Owch
Post mafias, street gangs or general riff raff!
So,we will see the summer wave? Or it's cancelled?
>>6298103
>>6298103
So much dark blue...
>>6298101
Who like the new sets?
>>6298112
Nobody
>>6298112
One of them is named "Guido"?
Wasnt that always a negative term towards italians? That would be like naming a black cadilac in the movie "Sambo".
Brickonicle when?
>>6298103
It BETTER not be cancelled. I need this and the Dragon Drop bot. Seriously thinking about getting this too. It's really well designed.
>>6298103
I'm pretty sure it's a rumor. If it is true and AFOLs' whining ended up killing both a Castle and Space theme, and we get none because Lego decides, "well, no one bought our last Castle theme and Galaxy Squad went to clearance. Combining them didn't work. I guess people just aren't interested in castle or space themes besides Star Wars", then wow, good job. We're lucky to be getting this now and it's a creative and fun theme to boot.
>>6298288
>AFOL's are 1% of sales
>it's their fault action theme for kids bombed
>>6298288
Not gonna lie if I ever buy a nexo set this would be it
>>6298306
Look at that dainty pinch grip on the sword and the way the pinky finger is extended like this is a damn tea party.
>>6298311
OI M8. YA SAYIN YA GOTS A PROBLEM WITH A GENTLEMAN WITH CLASS, GUVNA? WHY OI OUGHT TA OOK YA ROIGHT IN DA GABBER, IN DA NAME O DA QUEEN, M8.
Swear on me MUM, I DO, I DO.
>>6298323
Fake Brit, otherwise he'd know that the pinky affectation is smug elitism, and largely apocryphal and spread mostly through TV and movies because it "seems classy" but it's really not.
>>6298326
Wow man. It was a fucking joke. Jeeeeeeeeeesus christ.
Also, "pinkies up" is still taught to this day in american charm and etiquette schools, believe it or not. Sometimes I do it without even realizing it as I have seen it on a ton of TV and movies while growing up.
Captcha: select all tea cup saucers. HA.
>>6298329
Fake poster, otherwise he'd know none of this was serious.
>>6298117
>Wasnt that always a negative term towards italians?
Not only is Guido a fairly common Italian name, but it is regularly used in other contexts, such as Guido Ministries (named for the last name of the founder).
It's "offensive" on the same level as "Paco"; used as both a derisive moniker and an actual name.
>>6298290
>AFOL's are 1% of sales

This. There are a lot of delusional people in the Lego General who think that our opinions matter to TLG in the least.
>>6298120
Nobody wants TTV's dumb idea.
>>6297889
are those finger hinges third party / bootleg? if so what brand
>>6299070
Yup, Wange set JX001
Should I spend my £80 on star wars shit for may the 4th or should I get some non licenseshit for once? If so, what exactly should I get?
>>6298323
What is this brit suit guy I keep seeing?
Official lego?
Any way of getting him?
>>6299174
>What is this brit suit guy I keep seeing?
His name is Lester. He's a minifig that was exclusive to the grand opening of the Leicester store.
>Official lego?

>Any way of getting him?
A guy in the Netherlands is selling one loose for only a thousand dollars.

>Gomek
>This is nothing short of a pathetic excuse. Lego is trying to increase sales by running a thinly veiled lottery, where they can produce multiple $2,000 prizes for pennies. If they were a stand up company, they would just give out $2,000 gift cards and not lean on their fans (aka secondary market) to flip to price tag for their promotion.
>I would have very much appreciated it had they not done this at all, or at least be up front with early promotions, and basically say unless you have an obnoxious amount of disposable income, this is not for you.
>It’s sad that after collecting for 40+ years, Lego has decided to price me out of what should have been a fun in-store purchase for everyone. Going out of my way to get figures like the BR mascot used to be fun. This is just flying things in my face to show me what I’m not privileged enough to afford.
>Doug
>Lego is not the problem here. This figure is meant as a fun item for visitors at their new store. People who cannot access that store were never meant to have one. We can’t all get what we want all the time.
Based Doug
>>6299195
More like based china. Fuck any company that pulls that shit. Like nintendo with their "rare" amiibos and NES classic thats discontinued after it sold out in seconds.
>>6299207
But it's true. People cause scalpers to exist because they want ALL THE MINIFIGS and then bitch when scalpers charge what the market will bear.
I don't get upset that I can't have a specific SDCC minifig, even if it's of a character that I really really like, because I didn't go to SDCC and it was a promo for people who did go. It's not unfair that I can't have one cheaply just because I want it but also want it to be cheap. I just resign myself to understanding that I will probably never have any exclusive figs unless I make the initial effort to get one along with everyone else when they're first made available.
>>6299226
>I dont get upset that I cant have X,Y,Z
No, but a lot of fucks here DO get pissed when china offers the same figs, made with the same plastic, at the same quality and then derail threads into shit storms when someone posts them.
>>6299234
Yeah, I love it when that happens
>>6295259
>>6295259
If you try exclude people because they're not a carbon copy of yourself, you don't belong here.
>>6294871
I have the lake house too. I love Lego.
