/lg/ - Lego General - Racing Weeb Edition

Any tips on how I can buy Star Wars UCS sets (especially the Tantive IV, Star Destroyer and Super Stsr Destroyer) at a reasonable price? I'm not interested in them as in investment, but would like to put together and display these kits. Thanks!

>>6392357
I don't think you can unless you get REAL lucky at a garage sale or something. They're expensive, buying the parts off bricklink will be expensive also, though IIRC there're some guides out there on what parts can be substituted for cheaper variants to bring costs down a little. I know this exists for the UCS Falcon at least.

or, you could get the Lepin knockoffs if you don't value your soul

>>6392357
As of right now? There really isnt. Stalk ebay auctions with good feedback, and ask them questions if you have to.

Old UCS are too rare because really only collectors buy them, as they mostly arent for playing, which coupled with their high price tags turn themselves off normal people who sell Legos.

You have 3 Options
1. Pray Lego make another version
2. Stalk auctions, ads, and try to get them as cheap as possible
3. Buy the Lepin knockouts, as they still look really nice as display pieces. If youre buying them for the Minifigs or because they have play features, than it may be awful for what you want.

>>6392372
>>6392374
Thanks. I've been working on a Y-Wing and have the Saturn V to work on after that. I'll keep an eye on eBay.

>>6392331
I loved those racers as a kid. It seems a little weird Lego made them now but they were good fun.

Something like that wouldn't happen now.

>>6392486
No problem. LEGO doesnt really release enough or even GOOD UCS all that often...and most of the best ones are now too old, especially if you only started collecting Lego models recently.

I think the only UCS Models Id ever buy would be...
>AT-AT Walker
>The Ghost/Phantom
>AT-TE Walker
>Millennium Falcon (i missed the first one)
>Lambda Shuttle (i missed the first one)
>Poe's X-Wing
>Krennic's Imperial Shuttle

Are you willing to have slightly under-quality parts? Check Alibaba

It's still nice, put a light inside if there's space for it.

I've always wanted to go to the Louvre.

>>6392670
Interesting. I personally would've made the walls out of bricks and columns and then hinged them inwards to get more transparency, but your method has consistency. Cool stuff
>>6392673
>>6392676
Cute.

>>6392678
Yeah, I plan to light it up as part of a larger scene. Probably go taller as well.
>>6392679
same
>>6392691
That's what they did in the Louvre set. Cool, but I intentionally went for obscurity to heighten the mystery.

Welp, I realized I have an issue today, anons.

I was driving through a light rain shower, at the beginning of a 30 minute drive to get more klocki. The rain picked up, and it started storming.

It was then that I realized that I have a bit of an addiction to lego, and acquiring lego. I've been checking craigslist and letgo habitually for the past few weeks. It's gotten a little ridiculous.

What do, friends?

>>6392805
Nice use of the stud shooter on the back.

>>6392874
Are there any good uses for stud shooters? I haven't seen them used in many mocs.

>>6392854
I like comic books, I read them regularly.
I do read DC and Marvel, although I mostly read non-superhero comics like Saga and Preacher, but still.

>>6392878
I've seen them used well for visual accents. Actual stud shooting not so much.

>>6392878
also they can make decent minifig weapons, with parts added so they look like heavy blasters or whatever.

>>6392882
The only comic book I've ever read and enjoyed enough to keep up with is 2000 AD. Cape stuff just doesn't do it for me at all and I don't know if it's me unconsciously not wanting to have anything to do with the hordes of secondaries that coat themselves in free Marvel advertising outside Hot Topic or if it's actually just rubbish.

>>6392890
cape shit is overwhelmingly garbage, dumb brooding assholes in spandex.

I can't think of much that did the superhero/supervillain thing well. There's Worm which isn't even a comic, and beyond that, uhh...

>>6393474
Same here, except almost 40 years. Between the toys and legos I'd like a model of all of the major starships and fighters from Eps 4-6.

>>6393360
I work at one, and there's occasional sales on Lego. The employee discount on sets from 1-2 years ago is the best thing for an AFOL.

You always get that 10% off Lego with a membership, and it's only sometimes Lego goes on sale (like Black Friday weekend). I don't think I've ever seen a coupon that *did* work.

>>6393584
Are the sets B&N have on hand lusted somewhere on their website?

>>6393622
Listed, not lusted.

>>6393622
You have to go through each individual item and check the local inventory. AFAIK there isn't a better option, except going into the store itself.

>>6393622
Maybe the website, if their in-store counts are accurate. It's better to go to the most out-of-the-way store you can find.

>>6393622
You can sort through their Lego sets from oldest to newest on their website, then hunt and peck for markdowns from there. Most of them will probably show out of stock, though.

>>6393428
I can't get used to yellow faces anymore except when they're random citizens or CMF series

even space, castle and pirates themes were spoiled due to the existence of licensed counterparts. My dwarves from Hobbit sets are vastly superior to my regular castle counterparts, so I just began using fleshies in all my castle MOCs.

Cassiopia as a full figure can sell for like $20. You Missed out. She's really the only one anybody really wants since that line is so reviled.

I guess this is my chance to brag about my martian collection I'm building up for a huge life on mars project. I never spent more than $4 on any of them and I have a new Cassiopeia coming in this week. I also have like 5 other Arcturus heads with martian bodies but his arms are crazy hard to find in large amounts. I might have to just order from a bunch of separate stores on bricklink.

Most of the martians that aren't in the front row as they appear in their sets are mismatched for variety.

That's because it doesn't work with the ratio of 2:5.

how is this place good? Even for new and sealed stuff, its the same price as what everyone else is doing...hell some shit is even more expensive, even when compared to the Lego store itself, which is normally the most expensive something should be.

Its for individual pieces mainly....

Its pretty hard anywhere to get 50 Blaster Rifles for $14~, but BL makes it possible.

Now if only LEGO would get the message that Studshooters are fucking garbage.

At least get them off Vehicles. Guns for minifigs are one thing, but they already plaster those spring loaded canons of everything, they dont need studguns too.

>>6394468
Best place to find it will be BL right? Amazon is outrageous and eBay is 2nd place compared to BL. No other sites right?

>>6394468

>>6394475
Also, truck tour? Damn I wish I'd been a little older back then so that maybe I could have weaseled my way into going. These are amazing! I love the dark and eerie but not mean approach this line had to alien encounters. A little part of me died when Mars Mission came out and it was all fighting.

Shouldn't it? It takes a brick and a plate to level with the top of that bracket, so that makes a total of 5 plates. Double it and it should equal out to 4 studs wide. I don't know, I'm not an expert on Lego math yet, still learning

Impressive collections. Been meaning to include Mr Hover into my space story. Double Hover was the only set from that theme I ever got, at time of release even. Surprised he's still around after all these years, but sadly his leg clip is cracked and needs to be replaced. Also found one of my old Racers Warrior. Need to dig around some more cause I'm certain I got a bunch of these as a kid

When I bought mine I got it from ebay, but a quick look at BL makes me think you might wanna go there. I'd look at both and try to find the best deal.

Yeah I never went, but found these a while back and loved the atmosphere they create. MM was definitely a far cry from LoM. Those green jellies still haunt my martians to this day

Life on Mars was an immense failure from what I've heard (it only lasted one wave) and most of the time when I see people address it they just talk about how "ugly" the sets were and how the martians were just lazy battle droid reskins (something I completely disagree with). It's entire philosophy as theme with it's numerous exclusive parts and even exclusive colors are a big reason lego was going under in the early 2000s. Not to mention it's a completely peaceful space theme.

Mars mission later on was basically a reboot "fixing" all the perceived issues by having it only use very common colors, have an extremely combat focused plot and aliens unlike anything else in lego. From what I can tell that line sold very well in comparison so I guess they were right in a way.

Despite all this, life on mars is my favorite theme. As a kid I always wanted a sci-fi city theme and the aero tube hangar was the closest lego ever got to that. Currently I'm extrapolating on the concepts in the tube hanger to make something closer to what I always imagined as a child. a sprawling modular alien city Kind of like the travelling display you see part of here>>6394448. I'm also sticking with the same module guidelines the theme abided by for modular building.

I've completely loaded up on parts exclusive to the line to the point where if I had to buy the tube hanger multiple times to get these rare pieces I would of had bought it over 8 times. Though since nobody likes life on mars the pieces are dirt cheap and I've hardly even spent more than $120 on the project.

>>6394434
It always bothered me when the torsos and legs were differently colored. As a kid I always assumed the color of their suit determined their job.

I'd post pics of what I'm working on but at the moment it's all packed up and I have no place to take nice pictures. I'll try and do it once I have more together.

>>6394495
Damn anon, that's awesome. Hope to see some updates as it takes shape.

>As a kid I always assumed the color of their suit determined their job.

My friend is a biggest Lego space freak I know (owns ALL the sets) I helped him and build this whole theme. It was great and mixing people-alientech function was great. I liked how all sets could ge connected, even the smaller one.
I also love the colorsheme - the sand colors works as mars- burned tech.

As much I like the figs, I would preffer them to be real minifigs because the arms slides/legs break to easy in play.

>>6394495
Oh and Mars mission is Garabage play/design wise beside that 4 legged driller.

The parts and colors were AMAZING though. If you ever find any set for cheap- BUY IT.

I'm glad to see other people do appreciate life on mars. I never hear it talked about and it always seemed snubbed to me.

>>6394507
Yeah that was me. I just caved in and did like 6 separate orders.

>>6394503
The jobs I'm assigning to the colors in my project so far are.

black-leader
purple-tube overseer
sand purple-tube mechanic
red-offense
blue-defense
gray-mech technician
lime-general worker
orange-biodium miner
tan-wastelander/scavenger
white-medical

In the official "story" lego released for the line they talked about how there was a martian rebellion. I guess maybe they don't abide by such constricting dress codes!

>>6394515
Thanks, it's something I've always wanted to pursue since childhood and since I lost interest in direction modern lego has taken it's a nice alternative just to focus on a specific older theme instead.

>>6394521
The colors are great. It always felt like a gradient from bright colors to gray and it made the translucent pieces really stand out. It reminded me of a laser tag place. And yeah the fragility of the martians is a problem for sure but the fact they had a completely different part structure helped them to feel more like aliens instead of just weird people like the stingrays for instance. It made them feel stranger and allowed the amazing tube system to work.

>>6394523
I actually liked some of the vehicle designs but didn't like the black/lime white/orange colors. It's also whenever I started to notice lego seemed scared to do structures as opposed to 99% just being vehicles with nowhere to go.

Also the articulation-less jellybean "aliens" from that line are probably the worst lego figures ever created.

Is that still only exactly one brick wide total even with the plate part of the headlight-plates on the inside? Please say yes.

>>6394549
Can't see it on the pic, but since the centre of the ring is a plate thick it should be a brickheight wide if the two plates on the side connect flush to the side of the ring.

That's fair. I like keeping things looking a bit less outlandish so I stick 'em on pretty much anything that would normally have the usual chunky wheels, like all the 4-wide cars that look ridiculous with the wheels halfway out of the fenders. They're great for making more realistic vehicles in general just due to their relative thinness compared to the XBOX HUEG wheels, they show up lots when people make 7/8/+ wide vehicles with as close to realistic proportions as possible.

They do provide a nice middle ground between the cartoony wheels and the uber realistic Speed Champions ones.

The wheels sticking so far out is quite goofy with City sets, but using the thinner axle can bring them in closer. Just requires a little bit of rebuilding as they put the wheels lower

I actually have a couple plates like that from my youth- 2x2s with studs on both sides, that are still one plate thick instead of the quarter-plate (?) thickness of the one on the left. They're old Mega Bloks parts.

>>6394583
The thinner axle brings them in tighter but I'm still not a fan of the tire chunkiness when used on standard sedans/sports cars/etc. Plus, the 17.5mm tires can fit the smaller wheels including the dog-dish style solid ones and those are just marvelous for putting on your favorite brick-built shitbox.

Ironically I don't mind the new 'sporty' wheel/tire combo they've used on a couple vehicles- the thinner sidewall helps it out a lot, even if the actual size is still as big as Ol' Chunky.

Which sets should I buy? What's the truth about lego prices going up and price-part ratios?

We're old sets really better? Personally I really think so.

>>6394583
The top one is approximately 10x better.

>>6394960
Creator sets are great and a good variety of houses, animals, and vehicles
Prices are higher but not by much.
Price per piece isn't a metric lego goes by, they price by weight and other factors, but if you are buying a set for parts it's important to consider. Licensed sets are more expensive in general.
And "better" is an opinion. The craft and design of builds have gotten way better, even if the ideas are less generic and less imagination focused (a lot of actual characters in themes now because of tie in junk). But compare the older beetle model to the latest one, it's no contest. And also the modular sets would have never happened in the past and they're a great treat for AFOL's

The new creator house sets look great, I wanna get them but... Problem is I dont have space to build a city, so I mostly build spaceships and stuff.

Any recommendations on good sets with black/gray spaceship parts?

Weight is a better metric, true. I wish someone made price/g charts, possibly with dedicated and non-versatile pieces removed. especially for current sets.

Old sets just looked so much better to me especially wheels and boxy cars (acctually irl cars were kinda boxy back then too, but they were at least objectively more versatile.

You will need to accept TLG doesn't want to make sets that you want.

You should buy what makes you happy. The truth about price per piece is that it is used because it's easy, not because it's accurate. European boxes don't have the part count if i'm not mistaken.

Old sets were different, maybe better, maybe worse.

Also here is a reaction image to get your collection started. Have fun!

To quickly create a SNOT connection, just wedge a plate in between two studs. You can also use super glue like they showed in The Lego Movie if you can't get the angle just right. Plates can also be cut with a hacksaw if the ones you have are too long for what you need. If you want to get into making customs ("sigfigs" or "waifigs"), Play-Doh and hobby-store acrylic paint are your best options. If you trick a Lego Store employee into saying "Legos" they have to give you a free polybag. Some minifig heads have a secret face print underneath the visible one. Glow-in-the-dark pieces are edible. In Germany they call Legos "Danishblokken" because Legos is a slang term for penis. Dark bley pieces are actually made out of coral. The Pirates monkey was based on a monkey that Ole Kirk Christiansen shot as a boy. Primo and Duplo blocks contain a numbing agent.

Can use the base techniques to make your own stuff, you don't have to copy them directly.

It can go on the standard blue space suit for now. Funny that I still don't have the standard unhooded look for her after all this time, need to catch up on the movie figs.

Scroll down, that post should be the 30th one posted about the Nexogon.


I used pic related and put the old octagon-halves between each nexogon with two "1x2 plate w/ clip" and two jumpers. They are raised compared to the nexogon star, but you can make a neat looking dish. (And maybe that machine gun shield from Gundam)

Back from ToysRUs and they were having a very nice Sale on smaller and older Lego Kits. Was able to get...
>75165 Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (x3)
>75164 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack (x2)
>75131 Resistance Trooper Battle Pack (x1)
>75132 First Order Trooper Battle Pack (x1)
For only $72 and was also able to pick up a 75169 Battle for Naboo Set for $15 and a Star Destroyer polybag.

This will really help build up my armies for some cool pictures and size of my battleground.

How many of you get angry at Lepin fans?

>>6395971
I'm really tempted to check out Lepin, but I just can't do it. They're cheaper, of equal quality, and they follow all the rules. But they're a clear ripoff of LEGO, and do not own any star wars licensing. It's just not right. Plus, LEGO is suing them currently. Not sure what that means to the customers of Lepin, but I don't wanna get involved, anyway.

>>6395971
If its something I'll never be able to afford or something lego won't ever make, I'm Ok. But most of that shit is just a straight rip off job. What if you made the worlds coolest toy and some fucktard chink stole all your ideas? And, they are fucking toxic, so Ive been told.

>>6395979
>And, they are fucking toxic, so Ive been told.

99% of their products are discontinued sets that Lego haven't made money from in decades. Why would I pay £1000 to some autist reseller on ebay when I could get the same set for £50 (and not have to deal with aged, yellowed bricks or torn instructions)

Thinking of upgrading to a new Elph later this year.

Whatever happened to the intermediate sized Canons like the old SX130/150? The size of an Elph but the functions (including a full mode dial and custom firmware capability) of a two-digit Powershot series (SX30,50,etc). Now the only thing between a normal point and shoot and a pocket Elph is the SX500 series and similar which have massive fucking lenses because EVERYTHING MUST BE A SUPERZOOM instead of just a nice and surprisingly durable compact camera with the features of a larger one.
