>>5572937
Depends on what you're looking for. Bootleg minifigures are the cheapest but you'll find only supeheroes/zombies/military guys for good prices.
>>
>>5572937
Short answer is no.
Most low price sellers have low stock, and you'll get fucked over by shipping costs buying from em. Taking advantage of high stock sellers to counter getting ass fucked by shipping usually means dealing with higher base prices. Alternatively you can seek the dark gods of chaos and become a heretic for mere pennies per fig and free shipping.

You could probably print skellies for pennies a pop.

Nice going yo. I was thinking of building the particular model you're talking about, too, but I decided it'd be better not to, which was to my detriment because I haven't yet built a skirt that has satisfied me.

I'm still trying to finish the bigger lady I posted a while back. I know what I want to do next project-wise but I want to finish her first, and additionally I need more slopes for hair.

You have any ideas for this lady's crotch+legs? I have one that would reduce the articulation a little, but in a way that would likely still look nice.

I think you need to change the eyes. Personally I think they're too big, and the transition straight from eyes to hair looks un-natural. It also wouldn't hurt to make the pupils bigger as well.

Most people don't give a fuck and just treat them like any other MOC - Sometimes they're cool, other times they're lame, but whatever at least someone's posting something new.

Probably going to try and get at least a couple BANANA! Guys to be part of the same company as Clumsy Guy's shirt.

Mariachi Guy will go well with my Maracas Guy. I should get the TLM version as well sometime and have a Three Amigos troupe.

Cyborg is probably getting her own episode.

Devil kid will be extremely useful.

Quatro Baby will join City Park Baby and Papoose Newborn in my ever-growing collection of underage minifigs.

I've had an idea for another fig for more than a year now, and with the last cracklink order that came in this week, all I need to complete it is Babysitter Girl's hair.

The other figs look pretty cool as well. Overall, this is shaping up to be a 10/10 wave.

As mentioned a few months ago, I play a lot of costume roles for various community events in the town I work in. I just got back from being the Easter Bunny, and while there were surprisingly fewer terrified kids compared to last year, it got me thinking, has anyone heard if Lego.com is going to have another promo for the Bunny Suit Guy like they did for the Chicken Guy?

>who /blacktron/ here?

My favourite theme as a child as I had fond memories playing with the Allied Avenger. I recently bought some of the more recent Blacktron minifigs and cobbled together a team. It consists of the alien heavy weapons guy, a super soldier, a recon scout and a cyborg technician.

40% off at TRU
got the last one
>>
>>5573978

TRU.com said this was out of stock at all my local TRUs.

Went in to the two that I frequent, and both of them had four. Not only that, but it wasn't even marked on sale, but I did get one.

Not bad for like, $32 or whatever.

>>40% off at TRU

Oh so retail price then?
>>
>>5574113

It retailed for $49.99 everywhere else, and $54.99 at TRU. 40% off knocks it down to just over $30, which is pretty good no matter what. Plus, the thing has been retired for like, a year anyway.

It is a set that is probably going to skyrocket on the aftermarket, since LEGO doesn't exactly do many X-Men sets.

About to turn 3 avenger towers into a moc modular tower, but I've never made a modular. Most modulars use a 32x32 base? Should I just start with a green or blue 32 base plate?

Base color doesn't matter because it will be covered anyway. All modern modulars cover the entire baseplate.

Sorry I was unclear, I wasn't asking which color to use, just if I should use a base plate at all, because I think modulars use regular plates.

Bootleg anon, got these mini modulars in the mail from Decool. Pretty good quality, only got one shitty piece that didn't hold together out of like 600-800 pieces. This made me fall in love with mini builds. I might order the other four duplicate sets from decool then start doing mini MOCs a for a city.
>>5574355
Start without one and transfer to one if you need it. Or just use a base plate. It's your choice there is no standard.
>>
>>5574355

They do use a 32x32. Some of the older ones use two 16x32s, though. I mean, same difference, but.
>>
>>5574342
Yeah, modern modulars are 32x32 and usually have spaces for rods in the base to link them together with other modulars (I forget what the piece is actually called)

Also, Modulars typically come in "layers" where each layer only connects by a couple studs to make, say, taking off individual floors or roofs easier.

I need some thoughts, /lg/.
I want to make some mechs, but I don't have inspiration yet. Should I buy assorted mech-related parts and hope I find inspiration or do I visualize what I want to make first? I think that the only thing stopping me from making mechs is that I don't have enough of pic related.

Right now, I have 212 pieces of bricks on my BL cart, mostly different colors of the slopes and 2x2s
>>
>>5574682
i don't know your parts selection anon, so it's pretty hard to judge.
LDD is a good way to start, but fiddling with bricks in person is always a better way to come up with stuff for me.
>>
>>5574686
If by parts selection you mean what I have to work with when I get the order I'm thinking of, I have a couple of Mech-related sets like The King's Mech, Kai's Fire Mech, Lex Luthor's Power Suit, Gorzan's Gorilla Striker, 80% of the Galaxy Squad sets + 2 huge plastic bins of Lego that probably weigh 10kg each.

I have enough I think, but I also think that 212 pieces of joints and slopes is overkill, but at the same time, handy in case I need them.

>>5574691

Sincewe usually see buildings, waifus, mechs, cars and spaceships in these threads, what about some of these:

>Build an animal
Lego animals are not new or novel, there are a fair number of creator sets and friends dragons but animal MOCs are dwarfed by the above things
>Technic build
We see lots of system and CCBS has its own thread, but Technic is under represented
>Built a sick boat or submarine
We see land and air/space travel a lot more often than sea travel. There aresome City ocean exploration mocs on the shelves right now but it could be cool

Lego already makes plenty of sophisticated sets (technic), and visually complex sets which are simple (bionicle).

Bionicle type sets would be a good fit for Pokemon, though I would personally prefer more sophisticated builds.

I'm gonna reply to this just to say I posted waifu and never once replied to you until now. Also nice dubs.

Personally I think that for non-degenerates it's quite understandable to not want waifu stuff posted but it's still lego, and at any rate you could always ignore it. I have made the mistake before, in the past, of spamming my junk, but I got a Brickshelf for the sake of cutting down on this. I don't like making trouble!

I also agree with >>5573099
Opinions aren't bait, they're opinions. If people don't like waifuposting they've got every right to complain.

However, at the same time, when this clash of dislike comes, there's an issue that crops up from the arguing or back-and-forth consuming the thread, something that's happened multiple times with other topics or on occasion trite stuff that should never have snowballed into a fun-killing mess.

I'm working on a HF-shell based chest and it's giving me hell. That little nub where the base of the neck would be on the "pecs" makes it impossible to build a neck structure that looks good without an outrageously long torso!

The masks are actually huge compared to minifigs - Almost the size of an entire minifig, even.
>>
>>5575195
The mask is the size of a minifig.

However, there was some minifig-scale Bonkle-sets, and their heads are compatible with normal minifigs.
>>
>>5575195
Most of the original masks had either a stud-connection or Technic axle to attach it to Bionicle head. Shouldn't be too hard to connect to Technic-brick.

The ones used nowadays have a specific connection that only works with the heads used now.

Talking about LEGO making 151 different Pokemon, having grandiose ideas of what LEGO will make with this license, listing a breadth of product types that only the Star Wars, DC, and Marvel licenses can justify(and really it's just Star Wars that can).

Almost *none* of that stuff is going to happen. At best you will get a single wave of 4-5 sets with Pikachu in every single set.

Nobody is expecting a product line as extensive as Star Wars out of the gate. People are giving you EXAMPLES of the sorts of cool stuff that could be done with the license, and you're getting all huttburt over the possibility that Lego might release things you personally don't want to buy.

You've twisted this from being about Lego Pokemon to being about you not liking the IP. The end.
>>
>>5575498
I don't care about the IP, for good or bad. If the sets are good I'll buy them. Feel that way about every IP LEGO works in. I'm going to buy a couple of Angry Birds sets, even though I'm not a huge fan of the IP. I like LEGO. I don't care what IP logo is on the box.

What makes me "butthurt" is anticipating giant levels of autism for months until LEGO announces sets, then months of autism because LEGO announced different kinds of sets than the pokefags wanted, etc.

And I'm particularly worried because pokefags are already shitting up this thread with insane wishlists and worthless shit-posting and it's just a RUMOR at this point. YOU'RE the most rational one so far and you are paranoid and reality-challenged.

Question!

Haven't bought lego Ina while and looking at the Fortrex. Up here it's $130 canada bucks.

I know this set it new, but do places like TRU ever have spring/summer sales for new sets? Should I try and wait it out? I obviously don't want to wait till Christmas.

It's really pulling on me to get, and I can afford it. I'm just afraid of buyers remorse with it coming to $150 after tax.

It has always been a pain for Brikwarriors to pull this off.
Any part with a Bar COULD be used, but your best bet is to build up from existing Minifig Utensils.
15071 was literally made to build Guns with, but we use to have to make do with 4360, 30035, 3959, 2516, 60849, as well as the classic 4349.

No, you're underestimating how popular and long standing Pokemon is.
The only reason that other Pokemon building toys fail, is because they're from no-name companies, that don't have the exposure (even with big IPs) or contacts to get into most Toy Stores.
The only 2 stores within 100km of me that I can think of that stock the Pokemon Nanos or what ever the fuck they're called, are an eb Games in one town and and eb Games in another.
Mean while every other store that has toys (even supermarkets who only have a couple of shelves with toys) stock other Pokemon toys.

>Made a BL order on Friday

Is the seller bullying me? I'll give it few more days and then I'll send an angry email to them

>made a BL order at the beginning of a 4-day weekend where many places are closed because everyone is off work

I dunno man
>>
>>5576637
theoretically he could be a retard that keeps "office hours" rather than check daily, so he might be "closed" on the weekend

which is retarded, because its a website, not a storefront. even if you give him shit now though, he'll throw out some Easter excuse even if he is from fuckin paragay or something. just wait till tues or wed, and give him shit then, thats more than enough fake e-business days

calm ur tits tho, its been 3 days

Worked great for the sea cow but I am considering making my own cloth ones so it can have that patched up look from dead mans chest. The problem will be hooking them up to the masts.

From left to right:
The Penguin, the Riddler, Killer Croc, Catwoman, Bane, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, Two-face?, and the Scarecrow.

Now we're just missing the joker.

I just spent 20-something odd minutes feeling for Edna in two different stores because I wanted everything but her head. You'd think that when there's over two boxes of the fucking things it wouldn't be too hard.

Guess this was just karma. When I needed Moleman's torso, he was the first bag I grabbed

Looks like they're all new versions too, besides Scarecrow and Killer Croc (both of whom are getting released later this year).

Oh and Captain Boomerang too from the first teaser.

Those makes me glad I'm not huge into DC. Those and the entire 2015 lineup. Last year was a pretty good year to be a fan of the Justice League.
>>
>>5576908
Well, yeah. But Ninjago figs have actual bandanna and I didn't want to confuse people.

On that note, will that scabbard fit katana?
