>>4279283
Isn't that a regular old polybag? Looks like I'll be waiting a while to join VIP.

>>4279291
You don't have to be VIP to get the August freebies.

And being VIP is gonna be worth it if you're planning on getting any sets this month anyway, since the points do add up.

>>4279329
Yeah I know, I just have a list of ~75$ in sets I want to purchase and buying before the promo interest me seems like a waste. I just know the next month after I order will have something cool.

>>4279356
Maybe you could get the Shredder and trade it in for a previous exclusive minifig that you missed.

>>4279514
The summer stuff has already been released, so August.

I'm really looking forward to wave 2 even though I haven't finished wave 1 yet. Stores near me don't have Rocka's Stealth Machine, having to build it out of spare parts.

Woo it stands! Next robutt is gonna be a biggun'. I finally got a super solid leg design with full poseability. The hips are still challenging to remove the 'slop' in the gearing. Probly work on the torso next. Skinning it will be the funnest part

So Virginia Brickfair is coming up - anyone been? What can I expect? If I bring some stuff to trade is that allowed?

I managed to get a couple extra Martian Manhunters I wouldn't mind parting with. I saw there are a bunch of cool vendors so I'll definitely be shelling out for some stuff, but is the event mostly MOCs?

>>4279561
you can trade all you want but to sell you need to register as a vendor I think. They had a yard sale segment last year where everyone could mingle sell and trade.

I went to Downtown Disney California's store and they had the premade ladder bricks

>>4279556

My apologies. I had the new thread cued up and was waiting for the image limit, but I fell asleep at 142/150.

But really, there's no need for me to start every single general. If one needs starting and I'm not around to do it, someone else absolutely should. And if that OP 'fucks up', just post the pasta in one of the first handful of posts, and move on. No need to waste 60 posts complaining that the OP didn't do it "the right way". Everything is awesome etc, etc.

How do reviewers like JANGBRiCKS get sets so damn early? I had thought the new Chima stuff came out at the beginning of the month, with how early he had his reviews up.

>>4279626

>>4279556
Bayonetta-style?

>>4279626
I presume Lego gives ti to them so they have hype it up with their good PR angle.

>>4279653
Feet are just height placeholders for now. As much as I like Bayonetta that's not my inspiration.

>>4279626
Some of the reviewers get their stuff directly from Lego are paid to review them.

Jang I don't know, since he is a fan reviewer. He may live in Denmark, and may be closer to the source.

Finally added in the Arctic part of Arctic hardsuits. Now I'm building them from the three Flexors and Arctic Snowmobile. Trying to get settled on a design I can 'mass produce', obviously not this one, given it's a spindly nightmare of proportions. But hey, progress.

Went through Brickipedia last night and quickly looked through every theme that was launched during my dark age to see if I really missed out on an anything I would've wanted.
Narrowed it down to 4 sets at first, but 7018 Viking Ship as most of you probably already know is crazy expensive, and all the listings (sticking to Bricklink) for 7773 Tiger Shark Attack were already built.
It might sound stupid but I wanted to actually get the sets in their box and everything - so I could actually build it - which led me to order these two.

I'm sort of excited.

>>4279469
Chima stuff is actually out already here in the Philippines, and I'm assuming you guys got them first.

>tfw not enough engineering knowledge, creativity, and resources to build a sharp, plastic waifu

>>4279709
Both of those are great sets - the SPIII set has the Skull Twins, who are neato, and the Atlantis set has the hammerhead guy and the Atlantean armor. Definitely good choices.

>>4279626
Lego's Community and Events Engagement (CEE) Team looks for reviewers they think would be fit to promote new product and sends new sets to them ahead of release date. They don't send every new set, though (New Elementary for example only got Benny's SPACESHIP from the second movie wave, instead of the entire wave). And at the same time, they don't send everyone the same sets (ie. BZPower and Eurobricks getting the 2014 Chima action figures, but not Brickset).

>engineering knowledge
They're just bricks pal, not rocket science.

>creativity, and resources
Go out and buy 3 or more of the same color mixel and at least 2 legend beast wolf/lion. You wont need all that much creativity because the mixels will give you a solid theme, ice, fire, rock, electric excreta(whatever one you pick) and with the additional ball joints form the wolf/lion you'll have all the resources you'll need for a waifu.

And here is that guide in case you didn't catch it the million other times it was posted. Congratulations you now have no reason to not make a waifu.

>>4279716

Maybe you could make a mini waifu via pad printing or decals.

My computer-less, supposedly LEGO-less holiday in Sweden has borne unexpected fruit!

Smaller sets don't seem to have a markup in terms of tax, so I managed to grab perky Gail the Construction Worker and finally cave in on the Power Digger.

Oh, and a Chima polybag. We only get polybags in the UK once in a blue moon. Crug is neat.

Now I can complete the weekly challenge! I used 100% of the parts here too.

Yeesh, every new release of Brickficiency seems to take one step forward and two steps back.

Downloaded the latest version after I was having problems with whatever version I had, and some parts were being imported with "(Not Applicable)" colors, meaning you have to manually go through and select the colors.

0.92 seems to the best right now.

Yeah, I'm still confused over how people could think that shop with the obviously crooked logo that nevertheless is supposed to be a photograph could be anything but fake.

I guess people believe what they want to believe.

>>4279996
Hey, I don't believe that it's true either but the pic was supposed to be an early prototype so it's likely that it's a quick mock-up in photoshop rather than a proper photo.

However, the fact that they spelled "separately" wrong, aswell as the lack of the "confidential" stamp that's usually on LEGOs stuff is pretty big indications on that it's fake

>>4279996
>>4280021
Real or fake, I just hope this means we actually get scans of constraction sets when the '15 retailer catalog is released. We've always gotten the short end of the stick while the other themes were given copious fuel to their flames.

The one catalog leak we even got for IFB wave 2 was a third of the page next to the summer Star Wars sets, goodness.

Fuck, I keep on getting the next shipping rates even tough I try to keep a big gap for packing materials.

I mean that, like, I want to get the shipping rates for up to 50 gram LEGO, I purchase a little less than 40 and i STILL get the rates for 50-100 gram instead.

Is the database on LEGO weights wrong, or how much weight is people using on packing materials? It's kinda annoying having to pay like 2,50 Euro for shipping when you're buying parts for 2 Euro

Does anyone have that collage pic of all the stuff /lg/ has made with this set?

I have a possibly very stupid question. Do any of you sell your MOCs? Have you ever done a commission piece? If you haven't done either, would you?

I have neither the resources or visualization skills required to create such art and often wondered how I could go about obtaining something specific made from legos. A couple examples could be things like a Firefly class ship like Serenity, or a Mako from ME.

IDK if you know this.. you have to BUILD stuff with Lego. it doesn't just come pre-assembled

>>4281187
Sure, what's your point? He needs to build more. It still looks barren.

>>4281187
So he should build more. I doubt he devotes too much of his free time to it though as his second job basically IS building LEGO sets.

>And little bro wants CCP because Unikitty.

>>4281256

Also do any of my fellow trainfags have instructions for how to make trucks like this?

>Otherwise I can just fuck around and figure it out on my own.

Question is, this car uses your standard train wheel sets... but their usual housings seem to be missing. Is there another way to stick on train wheels? I've considered sticking the axle through a couple of Technic pins, but it seems like there would be a shitload of slop in something like that.

Although if he only wants Unikitty and doesn't care about the set itself, the larger keychain can be had for $10-$12. Either way, there are still cheap retail options to get them. That hasn't stopped idiots from buying scalped Unikittys, but don't do that. You don't need to.

>>4281340
I bought a few myself, including some minifigs not part of the series but were cheap anyway. I'm trying to hunt around for a few of them though, I'll be damned if I pay $10 and up scalper prices for some of them.

Since we're nearing the end of a week, may I make a suggestion to keep the weekly challenges monthly? It gives more people time to work on their creations, and would probably generate more than usual.

As for the next challenge, how about a challenge involving a $10-15 dollar set to remake it into whatever you can? It'd be like the Power Digger but at a whole other level. We could use a Chima Beast or a set of 3 Mixels, or some creator set. The Construction Hauler might be pretty fun since for $18 you get 250+ parts

Not everybody has those and/or is willing to spend money on this. I liked the old challenges where it was just "THEME" with whatever you had on hand.

Yep. Shit is literally Power Digger deluxe.

>>4281408
It's why I recommended non-expensive sets that are fairly easy to come by at a target/walmart/tru. Even if you don't like the set, the parts could come in use in a MOC

>>4281415
>Shit is literally Power Digger deluxe.

You're the first person to say so. I saw someone else bitching about it once.

>>4281415
All right, let me clarify. I will not be participating in a challenge that requires me to spend money, and that makes it a sucky challenge for me.

>>4281366
There is an angry Unikitty keychain, if you don't want a $100 set or to pay $25 to some jerk. I also think it's lame they didn't pack in extra pieces to make I AM BECOME DEATH Unikitty.

I am kind of surprised the usual KO outlets in China haven't made movie stuff. They've already got Simpsons KO stuff out, but not movie? I know quality can vary on those bit if some company did $3 Unikittys that had decent face printing and okay plastic quality they'd sell quite easy.

Not that they'd have to lower too far to match the Lego quality on this thing.

>face and eyes are pink
>face on many copies is slightly off-center
>the green stud for the neck doesn't grip as tight as it could, head will probably come off if you turn the neck

This is why I prefer the keychain.

>>4281425
>There is an angry Unikitty keychain

You had to spend money on your lego at some point. But yeah, I can understand not wanting to buy a set for a challenge. How about a "Rebuild any set in your collection into something else" challenge? Bonus points if it's something completely different from the original concept (IE: A Tank from a Spaceship set)

OFFICIAL LEGO GENERAL WEEKLY THREAD CHALLENGE LIST BEGINS HERE:

>post your ideas for this week's challenge

>>4281467
Build a weapon. Any kind, any make, even out of your imagination. It can be small enough to be handled by a minifig, or big enough to be held in your hand.

Give your weapon a name, and a description of what it is and does, whether or not it's real.

>>4281467
>>4281444
This too. Rebuild any set into something different using all (most?) of the pieces.

>>4281467
Choose a minifig then create a house/ hut/ base that matches the theme of the figure.

>>4281497
I'd rather we save any more minifig-themed challenges until CMF 12 comes out.

>>4281511
Doesn't have to be CMFs. You could pick a Pirates guy and give him a little pirate house.

I had a similar thought of "make a scene with two minifigs interacting with each other", but I had another idea for "make a scene on a 16x16 baseplate".

I don't know which one to submit as my choice.

>>4281497
Permutation on that idea, CREATE a minifig and make a small scene to accompany it.

This.

8x8 character vignettes based on your rarest/most expensive/most loved minifig.

Photo cheating is allowed to create depth but keep it to 8x8 or 10x10 as the space constraints encourage creativity (and won't turn into a week long building construction, not that its a bad thing)

Sticker sheets are usually stupid expensive.
The best you can hope for is to find a scan and print yourself a copy, OR, recreate them using model railroading resources.

where can i buy all the decool minifigs?

>>4281844
Not sure if bait, but just search ebay for "Lego [character]". Most of the top/cheapest results will be bootlegs, akin to searching for Figma.

OK, that's probably enough choices:

>take any minifigure, and build him a robot buddy

>Recreate a historical scene with lego

>create a minifig and make a small (10x10) scene to accompany it

>Rebuild any set into something different using all (most?) of the pieces

>Build a weapon (any scale)

>Build a mythological creature

>Build something train-related

>Make a scene with two minifigs interacting with each other

That's eight candidates. If anyone has a problem with any of these or wants more clarification, post soon, because I'm gonna make a strawpoll later today.

>>4281844
eBay is usually good for those things. Where do you live?

>>4281391
I'd suggest making a polybag MOC. A small vehicle or spaceship with a low piece count, doesn't need to be minifig scaled but it can be a theme build.

>>4281883
What were you thinking for piece count? 40? 30?

I will add it to the candidate list either way.

>>4281899
More or less. Something that looks worthy of an impulse buy.

Didn't notice there was already a list with the challenge candidates, that's what I get for replying before going to the bottom of the thread.

Got the Spider-Cycle Chase set recently and god, I hate it when Lego puts dozens of different colors into a set for no real reason.
I can understand stuff like making the various pin-types in different colors so it's easier to see which pins are the friction ones and which the loose ones but this shit here is just ridiculous.

I'm drunk /lego/, and I've done the challenge thrice over. Give me something small-medium to build.

my understanding is that they do that to increase MOC value. in the actual set they're just interior or bottom components you would never see, but if you're going to take the set apart to build something else you'll have colors you might not otherwise have. i like that they do it. it's only a problem for me when a corner or edge is visible through other pieces

It's because is cheaper. Theyare allowed to use X pieces trough one year. Also ithelps kids build.

So a new issue of railbricks came out, and there's an article where they interview two of the set designers for the trains released in the last few years. There's a few things worthy of note:

>Designing sets around Power Functions is hard, don't expect small locomotives any time soon
>They admit the one-piece front in the 2006 passenger train was shit, and that the new piece in the 2014 set is a big improvement
>No intentions to expand on track pieces (Crossings, wider curves, etc) due to market research
>Steam Trains have been tested in the city sets, but don't seem to appeal to the kids as much as Diesel/Electrics
>They'll consider additional train car/locomotive/building sets when the core market (The kids) wants it
>TLG is totally fine with 3rd party bricks/stickers as long as they don't infringe on licenses/their molds
>The two dudes they interviewed want to make a full-on Train theme again, along with a Round House

>>4282069
The one piece front from the 2006 passenger train is beyond shit, it didn't fit thenother bricks which peft a gap, tgere were four fiddly stickers, and even if those were placed perfectly it still looked bootleg. I have four of them in my useless parts bin.

>>4282069
>TLG is fine with third party bricks

Is there any decent chest armor piece in green out there? I want to make a Doom marine but all I can find in green is that Knights armor. I could use the same armor in gray, tan and red if they exist.

I have a helmet picked out, head, torso and legs are easy. I just need armor.

Just letting ya'll know I'm selling some lego bits I don't want on ebay. some Minifigs too.
here's a link to one of them

All of them except Leo's are from the first wave of TMNT sets, so if you look around you may find them at discount price. I was lucky and got the shellraiser set at clearance so I just had to get two more sets to complete the group.

Been working on this for the past couple of days. Still not totally satisfied with the backpack, but it works for now. I also need to make it some kind of melee weapon.

>>4282659
Nice as that is, I doubt much a helmet will fit with that collar in place.

How difficult is it to print custom torso decals, and is it better to go with stickers or watersldie decals? I want to make a number of FPS heroes. Doom if I can find the torso armor(got my eye on one) and Caleb from Blood will start. Caleb I can do with stock parts. But if I want a decent Duke Nukem or Serious Sam I want better torsos. I did find a stock torso which could work as Duke if you don't care that it's not accurate, but if I can just use decals that'll be better.

>>4282712
>Nice as that is, I doubt much a helmet will fit with that collar in place.

The helmets fit fine. The CMF series 7 Space Marine dude, and the Series 9 Space Ogre all use that armor and have a helmet too.

Anyway, that armor exists in dark blue, grey and red, and those are much easier to find.

The problem for him is that the existing helmet that works perfectly with that armor only comes in dark blue (CMF7 Galaxy Patrol) and dark bluish grey (CMF9 Alien Avenger).

Anon, if you go with the Knights' Kingdom II armor, you'll find that it also comes in red and grey. There are motorcycle helmets for all three colors, but any color-matching visors will be in different molds.

>Just outta curiosity what's the name of that train mod?

Traincraft.

>And can you tell me a little about it?

It adds trains that use the vanilla track? Fuck minecarts, yo. Fuck 'em.

I also have another mod called Railcraft that I always keep next to it. It's run by different people, but RC adds all the signal blocks, switches and other fancy shit that benefit relatively realistic railroading. If you play TC without it, you are no brother of mine.

>Railcraft also adds a bunch of fun shit too, like industrial things to use your trains with like car loaders, unloaders and machinery.

So, for Traincraft:

I've had my share of fun with it. My first ever MC railroad was the best, although the worst-looking.

>One day I will render this in Lego. I swear.

I had a whole railyard (where the gray wall is past the bridge) that I could watch over from my tower. It was awesome. My friends thought I was crazy until they kept relying on my railroad to get them home when they got lost in the world.

>>4282933
I will try these too as I'm working on building a modern city of my own.

Can you suggest a similar mod to add small cars and trucks to the game? I tried Flan's Mod, it didn't seem to want to play well with my other mods, and most vehicles for that are huge. I'm also stuck with 1.4.7 as later versions give me problems(namely, the game freezes up at the generating world screen when I try to make a new world, so I'm stuck with the last one that'd run for me), but if it's a good mod likely they'll have a version back that far anyway.

I just want some 1 or 2 block wide cars. Trying to build them out of blocks is horrible, they look like crap. I don't even care if they drive or not, I'm content with decoration.

>>4279178

Rebuilt an old set that amazingly mostly survived being in a Bionicle tub that I gave away to a friend in muh dark ages. Unfortunately, one of the missing pieces was the mask and one of the blades broke, but the price for those few pieces is far less than having to buy the entire set. All told, Toa Lhikan & Kikanalo here are about 96% complete, which is a hell of a lot better than I expected.

I'm currently playing chicken with my local Target's clearance sets. Experience tells me they'll be marked down once more if they don't sell. Now it's only a matter of making sure I'm there when that happens. Given that they'll likely reset the shelves on Monday or Tuesday, I'm hoping the next reduction will be either this morning or the next. If I can pull it off right, it will be glorious.
