the torso is as old as the second Ninjago wave. It also has only one center hole, so it doesn't fit on Lego legs. You can gowever put it on Kre-o legs, but they are slightly higher than Lego's, so there is next to no difference

To make things clear,
buying from bricks and pieces is no biggy. Abusing the replacement system meant for broken or missing parts to get more rare parts for free will get noticed because you fuck them over.

You can put jumper on 1x2 brick and put legs on it to get cool fitting torso.

75188 Resistance Bomber (Pilot Poe, Bomber Paige *NEW*, Admiral Holdo *NEW*)
75189 First Order Heavy Assault Walker (Jedi Rey *NEW*, Captain Poe *NEW*, AT-HA Pilot *NEW*)
75190 First Order Star Destroyer (Supreme Leader Snoke *NEW*, BB-9E *NEW*, First Order General *NEW*)

Boba Fett (Brickhead)

Rey vs Kylo Duel Set (name is still pending)

>>6387302
For the semi-confirmed ones some of those seem like bullshit. Here are the figures we know exist but don't have a place for:

Finn
Rose

And that's it. It's a logical guess that the skimmers on Crait are a set. Do we know a Pilot Finn figure exists?

You need to be in a special lego club consisting of the 30 best builders world wide. These people will get an invitation to a special event where half of them are allowed to buy this set.

Interesting set revelation here: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-lego-group-announces-building-sets-based-on-the-lego-ninjago-movie-300478725.html

"Available December 1

Shark Mech from the trailer?

Also,The Hammerhead shark mech set is movie accurate?

>>
>>6387353
The blueprint is cool but yeah, this one and Wu are bit of a downer. Since the line is bigger than usual I don't mind, though, TLM had a regular Emmet and Business too iirc and less figures overall.

>>6387334
Is the mace black or pearl dark gray?
>>
>>6387611
Do we know if it'll contain any generic shark mooks? The fire mech seems to be priced similarly and comes with 6, so I'd at least expect a goon or two alongside Garmadon, Lloyd and two civilians.
>>
>>6387451
Both are a fucking blast, but they don't scale. I'd vote the big because I loved th eroof accessories
>>
>>6387626

Laygoes, y'all.
>>
>>6387673
Nope,we get some shark baddies in the CMF. And one normal in Juniors set.
Anyway,what are your favorite Ninjago movie sets? Better than the show sets?
>>
>>6387691
Show had a lot of good sets, especially in the pirate and ghost waves, but I like the general aesthetic of movie ones more, also having civilians in a lot of sets is a nice touch. So far my favorites are red mech and modular.
>>
Wonder if Lego's SDCC exclusive this year will be Ninjago related.
>>
>>6387514
They should have swapped in one of the terrified civilians. We didn't need need ninja uniform L-loyd in the CMF wave.
>>
>>6387691
Easy.
1.2012 sankes were the best villains and the most iconic of the series
1. The Ninjago Movie shark army is 1 too because they are great( wish they were sea monsters though-Nexo Knights! Please!)
2.skeletons-the first ones
3.ghosts-loved the colors
4.nindroids-general cryptor stole the show
5.anacondrai warriors
6.vermillion warriors
7.day of departed
8.the stone army
9.sky pirates-boring

Didn't we get enough? Why not,Idk,dragon warriors,demons,shadow warriors(a la Lego Universe). How many snakes they can make?
Anyway,what vermillion set is good to buy?
I want to save more money for the movie.
>>
>>6387710
Would you rather have exciting themes like World Racers, or maybe more epic 80s nostalgia licenses?
>>
>>6387710
we're going back to the long lifespan of themes like back in the day it seems, so I'd give it at least 2-3 more years, maybe more if the movie will be a success
>>
>>6387710
Well,Season 8 is done. They are working on 9 and 10 right now. I think 10 is the finall one and then they will introduce Bioncle G3 reboot which will be a succes and then they will try to reboot Ninjago wich will be only 2 years because it will suck.
>>
>>6386789
Just saw the TNM CMF. Only ones I'm really not feeling are the gay rocker and maybe the different versions of all the ninja, but overall what a 10/10 series.

>>
>>6387742
>Bionicle was literally the first theme to have its own movies.
Incorrect, that would be Classic Space.

>>6387749
Yes. Premiered in Denmark in the late 1970s, I believe. Right around the time Star Wars debuted.
>>
>>6387730
Odds are high that after s10 they'll do a second movie. Since bonkle and chima didn't do well enough, UA didn't catch on at all (probably due to boring as fuck good guys), and while NK seems to sell well it's not ready to replace Ninjago, it's probably here to stay for now - or at least until some new similar theme will be similarly succesful, like pirates in the 80s/90s and bonkle in the 2000s were before Ninjago.

I think Lego considers keeping Ninjago afloat to be a good idea at least partially since you can basically sell anything under this label, though. No point in introducing separate themes focusing on mechas or dragons if you can just add some Ninjago figs and sell them under this banner. I don't really mind myself, I just wish there were some more playsets alongside the vehicles and monsters, surely making stuff similar to the D2C temple and now market street on slightly smaller scale wouldn't be too hard?
>>
>>6387508
Bionicle lore was only good before the movies, ninjago lore is too simplistic to care and boils down to "here's the new bad guy"
or "new bad guy resurrects old bad guy and they team up". Since the Ninjago movie seems to have a fun cyberpunk aesthetic, based on this I'd rather have more of this than tribal robots, though.

Investigate cheap available sets that contain most of the required parts via Rebrickable, and source the rest through Bricklink or Bricks & Pieces.

Patience can reap dividends if you're willing to sniff around for the best prices - all this is part of a strategy that's allowed me to run a lean Tegnig collection where I can even build new flagship sets with a visit to BL or BaP.

I don't know how some of you do it, but taking a good series of photographs is like an olympian feat for me. After a good 10 hours i only have a rather slim selection of pictures. Atleast i made some modern art of toiletpaper and masking-tape in the process.

Man was super hyped to jump back into Lego again. Not only made a bunch of stuff i want to show you guys, but i'm still recovering from last threads news.
I simply still can't believe Lego is actually releasing a huge multi-level cyberpunk modular just before my birthday.

Well I did some digging (that movie came out 8 years ago, don't expect me to remember everything off-hand) and I didn't find any information about the movie being shown in cinemas in the US, but it did in my country, Poland, so I bet some other countries also showed it in theaters.
Here's a link to the article about it, it's in Polish though, but it's not my problem how you'll be able to read it, you wanted a proof so here it its.

I will be more than happy to make a poster at that scale/dimensions for anyone who wants it. When the Ninjago typeface is released I might remake the poster using that instead.

Asking for it.

>>6389984
>>building Parisian restaurant with gf
>>have my own thing full of parts sorted out

I've been building LEGO for like twenty years and have never pre-sorted parts before building. For all the time it takes it's not really slower to just fish around in one of the bag piles.
>>
>>6389984
Never tempt fate, anon.
>>
>>6389714
It's smaller and objectively worse than the older AT-TEs, but wouldn't be difficult to mod.
>>
>>6389994
I've started laying out parts neatly before building, it's kind of fun. And a good overview of what's in the pile of parts I just got.
>>
>>6390008
I just sort mine by color
>>
So /lg/, what are your favorite colors to work with? Mine are dark azure and sand green.
>>
>>6390090
Dark red, light bley, and dark bley.
Black and white when I'm feeling frisky.
>>
>>6390090
Old dark gray and orange.
>>
>>6390090
Depends on my mood. Grays and oranges for evil space guys, white and blue and gray for good space dudes. Browns and greens and oranges for steampunk stuff.
>>
>>6390090
Sand green is the color of kings
>>
Sorting your bags and pieces before building is fucking homosexual.
Take note of Adam Savage when he sorts and builds, it's not only super fkn cringe worthy, it's as homosexual as it gets.

my friend never had legos growing up. and for some reason, i am dead set on giving him legos for his birthday.

i have no idea what to get him. i tried asking him what he likes and he was like 'video games, rpgs'.

i managed to get from him a few useful things, though.
character customization is a thing he likes, a lot, he mentioned he prefers not playing predefined characters and 'doing his own thing'.

also, he likes fantasy. so, medieval wizards and stuff i guess.

i am generally uninitiated in the way of the brick. i figured you guys would be the best to ask.

what are some recommendations for sets? preferably not something super small

It's going to be more effort than getting a set but lego doesn't have a straight-up fantasy line going at the moment, and besides a more personalized gift is more better

I'd put together an adventuring party, then get a bunch of hair, weapon, equipment etc. pieces so he can swap shit around and customize them to his heart's content. CMF Knight and CMF Rogue are an obvious start, I'm pretty sure there's also a wizard.

>>
>>6390827
How on earth are we supposed to know the reason behind you buying something anon?
>>
>>6387201
Yes and no.

Not sure how their current system works, but it used to be that missing parts orders got reviewed manually (often because the parts selection on the website is missing pieces, or certain selections are just out of stock, so reps have to manually find substitutes, like updated molds or one of the mini bags that contains the piece you need).

They could also see the dollar value of all missing pieces sent to you/your address ever. So, if that number was high, it typically meant they'd review your previous orders and see what the situation was (sometimes a part in the system might say it's worth $10, when it's really a 10 cent piece, or if you had a bad Power Functions part, that'd make your total jump up. And minifigs).

If it seemed like you were abusing then the next step was to request proof of purchase, such as a copy of your receipt.

But it wasn't an automatic thing, unless your account had been flagged by someone paying attention. So, if your order was looked at by someone that wasn't thorough, or cared, then you'd probably get it no problem.

If you CALL to get those parts, instead of use the web system, you could probably distract them/bs your way through it so long as your account wasn't flagged already.

Hey, so I built this little centrifugal pin lock for a box I'm giving a puzzle lover. Any ideas for other simple locks I could incorporate into the box?

I've seen some things where you take a piece off and use it to push in another piece, but I want to avoid disassembly as much as possible.

Once you start making shit yourself, you can call them sculptures if that makes you feel better.
I mostly moc anyway but there are grand exceptions like 6591 robot command centre, some childhood sets and my palace cinema. Even though that one has been mostly collection dust and having parts cannibalized ever so slightly.

Well there are different level to enjoy Lego (and toys in general for some).

Some have a starwars ship in their closet as decoration and a fun "nerdy" novelty.
Others because they apreciate the design of the original material/characters and/or the lego set aproximating it.
Some just love putting bricks together to wind down and relax.
Some have sets around they used to like as nostalgia.
Some use them for display only.
Some do it just for the collecting aspect.
Some rare true OG niggas don't give a fuck and actually enjoy pewpew playing pretend with them.
A lot of them atleast customize the models and/or build custom models, dioramas or even entire landscapes completely by their own design.
Some like making cool photos of said things they build. Posing figures and vehicles around.
Some make elaborate backstories and lore for them.
Some make comics or stories.
Some even do interactive D&D style tabletop games with them.

Feel free to combine any of these and you get the idea.

seconding
>>6391083
Go wild now you have them anyway. You can always part them out and sell them later on. Lots of people do challenges where they make their own alternate model with the parts of just one set, but the more parts the more freedom in doing whatever the fuck you want ofcourse.

But of course every mech needs a mech pilot. I looked around through all my spare torsos and saw the two pink 80s Workout Lady CMF torsos I have. I have been meaning to heresy them to make them plain pink female torsos, but it was a daunting task since there was so much printing to remove directly adjacent to printing I wanted to keep, and just a lot of printing in general to remove.

But I decided that the time was right, so I started in on it, and surprisingly was able to get it just about perfect. I only had one tiny bit left to clean up, so I started back up again, and five seconds later realized that I hadn't put down a guard strip and I had just erased half a boobie.

really nice, especially the front. But the hood/fenders curving toward the crew bug me a little, I'd make that section flat.

And would look better with solid gray headrests, IMO

Seriously though, stop with the robo boobies. If the build is good enough, the femininity should come through just fine without them.

Rings a bell.
>>
>>6391595
Yeah, to copy and paste what I said elsewhere, "I definitely agree with you about the nuva boob chest. I'm not too happy with it either. They come out too far, and realistically I'd like her chest to be a little more angular and less smooth. Smooth looks too out of place on the rest of the build."

Actually I was thinking about maybe putting a big blocky grill there with some headlights. Hopefully putting (even more) emphasis on her construction vehicle gimmick. But idk, I'll have to do some experimenting first.

>>6391608
They're not boobs. Thy're counterweights.

Does that halbred exist as a real piece

Damn it's cool. Thank you for the source. I'm literally dying while I wait for them to make a decent halbred. All this Nexo and still no decent parts.
>>
>>6391518
To be fair...the prequels werent all bad with ship designs...just most.

The AT-TE and Republic Gunship are nice (though the cone cannons are silly). I really wish something could prompt a rerelease of the best Prequel ship, and that is the Venator Class Star Destroyer.
>>
>>6391511
It's a great set. Sits nicely with the wing folded up and doesn't take up anymore room than the Tydirium Shuttle does. It's wingspan is comically huge though.

It does have 2 exclusive figures of the only likable characters, so that's a plus in K2S0 and Director Krennic.

Finally finished this one, been under construction for couple of months, but I barely touched it. Turned out much flimsier than in the upper part I expected - both arms and the back of the cockpit just hold on 8 studs, and this is considerable weight, like half of overall weight or so. But despite the fact you have to hold this flimsy part together with the front while acrticulating arms, it's pretty stable. Need to make some poses later.

And here is where it started, the cocpit build around nexo mech torso. Sometimes it looks like I really OVERDONE the rest of the mech, so I just might to bulid another, bigger cockpit, and make separate mech with this one, but not really sure about it. Oh, and it needs a pilot.

Did Lego's plastic quality become shit over the years?
>>
>>6391883
Yes. Try not to notice all the molding seams and plastic-reducing cost cutting methods on the new molds. Also try not to notice how many bricks- especially whites and yellows- come discolored brand new.
>>
>>6391857
New Y-Wing is great. Is much bigger than you'd expect and has nice playability. It's so solid as fuck considering the engines are only connected by 2 pegs each.

It's also the only way we probably ever get Admiral Raddus or the big White monster dude...so they'll be a collectors item on the future.

I loved Chima. The last wave was just meh for me, not offensively terrible. First year was god-tier. It makes me sad that it's so hated.

>>6391518
lol, this is accurate. I don't know why they didn't just use existing ship designs that were said to have been sued in the Clone Wars like the Z-95 Headhunter (X-wing precursor), or Dreadnaught cruisers (would've been perfect for Republic capital ships).

>>6389296
Aw shit, nigga, that houses looks a e s t h e t i c.

Pick up any standard new 1x1 brick. There will be a very visible seam on one side.

Also, check all your cheese slopes. Some of them are probably already cracking down the middle.
>>
>>6391973
>>6391929
Chima is alright
Some heads are cool (crocs and birds) while some are terrible (lions) but the actual heads have some pretty neat face prints that make great aliens and monsters
The sets themselves are also hit and miss and are usually just "animal head on vehicle". It's really not for adults

>>6392016
Try maybe checking craigslist/letgo/kijiji, there may be some people selling gallon-sized plastic bags full of parts, $10 per pound or so. Usually each bag is "themed" (grays and blacks, colors, technic pieces, etc). Definitely a better deal than buying complete sets, unless there are specific pieces from the sets you want.

What's the best way to become a Lego designer? I'm sure there are others here who are at least somewhat interested in becoming one.
I've talked to a few Master Builders (surprisingly a lot were freelancing industrial art/sculpting college grads), read designer interviews, and sat through a few presentations of the set design process. Aside from basic advice like "Build a porfolio to show" or "Work as an intern and climb" there seems to be a lot of different avenues in landing the job. I know some were Mocers before, some were hired based on location, and still others who were hired simply because they worked at lego before. I was wondering if anyone else knew more about the subject. Are there any skills, traits, or qualities that lego looks for when hiring designers?

So I got bored and gave 7 wide a try. I'd say it was easier than the 5 wide, but you have to have a ton of plates handy. Especially 3 wides.

The shape certainly looks better in this size as well, and I was even able to get functioning doors on it.

SPECIAL DEAL AVAILABLE

ToysRUs is currently selling the 75175 A-Wing Starfighter for $34.95...this is almost $20 less than what people are trying to sell this model for as 3rd party. It's also probably the best minifig of Lando we'll be getting for some time.

The A-Wing is also probably the best version we've ever gotten. Sturdy as fuck, the spring loaded shots are hidden and don't look out of place, has good size, very easy to swoosh around.

>>6392153
Making a megaship out of two ships that don't have matching color schemes? No go. I'd take the Phantom apart though, looks like a chicken nugget and could definitely be made into something better. Keep the Milano intact though, and mod the interior like I did

Where are these design presentations?

Personally, the MOC route seems easiest. Maybe get something to 10k votes on ideas?
>>
>>6392191
From the Sariel interview (wich admittedly was more technic specific) they said it was generally not a good idea to specifically try and get a Job at Lego because the teams are so small. But if you do want to have a shot, engineering and design background is the way too go, prolly together.

Don't quote me on this though, the interviews and tour around the billund factory are on youtube. (that walk through the warehouse memory lane with every created set ever was magical and almost brought a tear to my eye.)
>>
>>6392191
>Where are these design presentations?
I assume he's talking about those slideshows that Lego shows from time to time. IIRC Bionicle G2 and NK had few nice ones and I remember at SW celebration they did a good one that focused on Rey's Speeder but also the process of designing SW sets as a whole.
>>
>>6392200
It seems like this is good advice in general. Does lego really want to hire fans whose endgoal is working there, or do they want to hire actual engineers who have other options?

Either way its good advice for YOU to have other options on the table
>>
>>6392032
Brickumentary has a short piece on that topic. If I remember right Lego employees approached Afols whom they had an eye on for some time. It makes sense, since what you post online can be used by Lego as your portfolio.

It also has exclusive minifigs in Adult Ahsoka Tano (with the crystal blue lightsabers) and Commander Sato.
