You should make a jet glider for the suit that drops it into battle.
Like, the suit hangs from the glider some way and detaches the suit while continuously flying.

>>5597349
Not him, but your suggestion makes me think of Dougram.
>>5597420
That's pretty awesome, I was thinking something more like the suit is upright vertically while in some kind of holder the glider has.
>>5597424
Dougram's pretty great. The Soltic is one of the more common Combat Armors of the series. Alongside the Crab Gunner it forms the CA backbone of the Deloyer-based Federation forces for the first 1/6th or so of the series.
>>5597420
based Zakus!
It's probably worth noting that the Soltic-glider is more a temporary setup than a full-fledged vehicle, for carrying stuff there's the twin-rotor Mavelick.
>>>5597445
>zaku
Dougram isn't Gundam you baka.
Notably Dougram is an early "real robot" series, and it falls in alongside stuff like its spiritual successor VOTOMs (by the same guy behind Dougram) and other series like Patlabor as a series with very little actually making the machines super distinct from, or even superior to, conventional arms.
Just to top off on that last part. Dueys kicked some serious ass. On the Deloyeran side you mainly got stuff like Chico with his Big E-Gun and J. Locke with his Native Dancers.
If you were to wish to watch Dougram it's easily torrented off Bakabt or nyaa.se, or you can stream it on kissanime if you want. At 75 episodes it's a slow ride but a fun and worthwhile one, and has some nice emphasis on politicking and the like too.
On the other hand it's probably also worth noting that Gundam itself was -the- real robot, the series that kicked off the trend for more "realistic" robots in anime at least. Mobile Suit Gundam is a really great series, and so too is Dougram. Dougram was pretty popular, enough to earn 75 as opposed to just 50 episodes, where Gundam only got popular a short while after it first aired, and that led to the compilation movies, Zeta, and so on. The rest is quite literally history.
I love them both, and both are worthwhile watches for anyone looking for something to get into. They're also great building subjects, but obviously there's less Dougram than Gundam.
I'll stop posting all of this nonsense, it's the Lego thread, not /m/.

>IBO generally disliked, shitposting magnet

>translated /m/ manga outside big franchises also kinda rare, surprisingly
>animated /co/m/bo stuff is rare, SBT died years ago to CN jewery
>/co/m/bo comix also oddly rare
I'm consoled by the fact that robot anime is still coming out even if it isn't as good or popular as it was once. Maybe it's just perception.
That, and the fact that since so many have come out just in robot terms, there's plenty to choose from, and plenty good among those.
Would you say that buying parts from Lego is cheaper than on Bricklink?
I'm trying to get some bricks for mechs, but tracking a store in BL with a lot of what I need is a nightmare. My only consolation is that while Lego PAB is expensive, at least I don't have to hunt down stores, and I save on shipping because I don't have to pay it twice.
>>5597528
Like I said, Dougram's pretty great.
Dougram's final repose is the beginning and end of the series. It's kinda bittersweet, but it's the journey that really makes it. Gundam's a similar deal.
Do give it a try sometime. With a little effort mecha anime in general is fun stuff.
>>5597534
I'd be inclined to say Bricklink is usually cheaper, but it probably depends much more on what you're actually buying.
>>5597491
Christ, thinking about how awkward Exofoce's faces looked, minidolls would be better suited for anime characters than minifigs.
>what if Exoforce comes back, but with minidolls, not minifigs
I can't tell whether that idea is good or bad currently, probably bad.
>>5597543
Personally I think there's no real need for anime lego besides what people already do with just bricks.
For minifigs there's no real reason to give them anime styling. On the other hand, could Lego Avatar's one redeeming feature be its anime-lookin' faces that aren't completely bonkers?
>>5597542
For now, I'm trying to branch out of Kai's Fire Mech from way back when, so I'm trying to buy the Hero Factory arm with ball sockets (90622), and the Hero Factory armor pieces (90641).
Lego has them for 53 cents, and the armor pieces for 30-50 cents, depending on color.
A Bricklink seller I'm eyeing right now, has the arm for 23 cents, and the armor for 10-18. However, it's not enough, so I have to look for another store, and the store is located in the USA, while I'm in Canada.
You're damn right I'm mad! Ignorance causes me to rage withe the force of a million suns.
Not even justice, I want to get truth!
Somebody was asking for reactions images. Made this today.
Also finished assembling the kwik e mart and Simpsons house yesterday.
The KEM is fantastic. Really enjoyed the build and the stickers were fun to apply.
The Simpsons house is kind of a let down. The rooms are not very "true" to the house in the cartoons, everything is cramped and tiny and I had problems connecting the garage to the house (literally the house connection points breaking off).
It's also not worth it if you don't have other Simpsons figs, otherwise you end up with a bunch of stoned looking figs.
I now own 100% of every Lego Simpsons release. I think.
A power plant or androids dungeon mite b cool. I know some of you guys dislike the Simpsons figures, tho.
>trans-purple studs are only available in one set
>it's fucking Bionicle
Bull-fucking-shit. I ain't buying one even for those, and they're some of the pieces I want the most.
And it doesn't help that there's only 2 sellers on BL that have those. Not even those people want to get Bionishit.

Genwun had the story (and even that went to shit post 2006), but if you honestly think that current sets are worse than old shit just because they're old, you're delusional.
And this is coming from someone who fucking loves both Slizers and Bonkle.
>>5597814
it might be because /i'm/ older, but the new sets are so streamlined and boring compared to the (much less posable) highly detailed earlier sets.

They sell those for 4€ a pop here. Which funnily is worth it way, WAY more than the 9€ for the magazines with superprezents.
>>5598838
Book of Monsters has been out in English for like, a month.
I've seen it at TRU and the LEGO stores near me.
>>5598850
That plane comes with special magazine which costs slightly under 5€ here so it's not actually a freebie.

>>5598892
It's from the Lego original Freemaker Adventures.
>>5598899
I might have to get it just for the new wing pieces.
>>5598881
What are the luggabeast legs from? Is that a new piece?
>>5598901
>>5598904
Weird. It's not even nearly minifig scale, then.
>>5598892
Looks like something that was designed a decade ago.
Crooks' Island, set 60131. Anyone know if this is some kind of store exclusive? I can't find it anywhere.
>>5598916
Yeah, it's like a plus-sized microfighter set
>>5598323
I got one recently but I have yet to customize her ("not enough" accessories and all). Have a "hry kid wanna /ss/?" pic instead.
>>5598887
Of course they had to make yet another Sabine minifig with the new hair color. And omitting the helmet so that it can be re-released in some big ass set that's most likely not even going to be minifig scaled.
FUCK
I'm platinum mad now.
>>5598874
This looks expensive. I'd want it mostly for the mecha elephant, rey, and bb8.

Looking forward to this a ton. Love A-wings and haven't had a Tie Advanced since the very first one. Looks great.
I really want that A-Wing. Or two. Or three. And the bluehair's guns because I don't have any of that kind. But the rest of the set can screw and the only use for fleshy heads is making yellow pieces look good.
What're my chances of selling that stuff off and making my money back, lego thread? :|

So a couple of K-marts near me are trying to off load the last of their Arctic sets, so they've got the Arctic Base Camp on clearance for AU$89 (down from AU$115) between them they have about 4 to 6 sets. I currently have one, but I've wanted to make up a big Arctic Research Base for a while now, so depending on how my finances hold up I'm thinking of grabbing a couple more before they're all gone.
Now I figure I have 3 options as to how I go about building a large Arctic base.
>1. Get another couple of sets and make the whole base a series of small prefab looking huts/units. Basically just keeping the current design, but expanding it to have different units and layouts.
For example, I'd take the one I currently have and modify it so that instead of a long thin lab, coming off of a square rec room/garage, it would be a thin hallway/entrance connecting two square labs/offices. Then take another set and make it a crew quarters or something and another one into a kitchen/dining hall and so forth.
>2. Scrap/disassemble the set I've already got/built, get a couple more sets and some parts off of BL (such as white baseplate) and make a large "permanent" looking structure.
>3. Combined option 1 and 2. Build a series of little "prefab" buildings and then build a smaller "permanent" building. Then all I'd have to figure out, is if the labs/offices will be in the prefabs and the living space in the permanent building, or if it will be the other way around.
What do you guys think?

>>5599995
this is one of my favorite maxes yes.
The other one is Orbitrons Max.
it seems that mixel series had super good looking chunky/heavy Maxes.
Unlike others...that look just "awkward" like that Castle-max.
castle-Max is my biggest disappointment. I was expecting some super awesome robo-castle-warrior-giant-thing but it's just some retarded pegasus made of blocks...
I guess its not that hard to actually build a castle-Robot by yourself but i wanted nice looking oficial thing.
I still didn't de-build this fire-max. He just looks great as an Action Figure and looks neat on a shelf.
>>5600187
Dang, beautiful.
>>5600240
Castle mixels are disapoinment overall for me. Weakest max and designs are not as cool as I hoped. Good concepts though!
>>5598881
I like the minifigs, but this set is overpriced at hell at 60 bucks and while the Lugabeast is cool the building is disappointing. Pass.
>>5598886
Yeah, it's a rehash but I won't deny it looks really sexy. Might pick up on sale, even tough I already own Poe's X-Wing
>>5598887
Wish they would have split this set into two, as I already own an A-Wing but would like to get Darth Vader's Tie. Pass.
>>5598889
Really small compared to earlier versions, but man does the non-CW versions of Luminara Unduli and Quinlan Vos look great. Will probably just end up bricklinking those two, tough.

>>5601060
What is "breaking the bank" to you?
>>5601065

>>5601078
The only solution is exposure therapy. Keep buying them until $60 is no longer intimidating you.
>>5601078
Clay's Rumble Blade is a really nice set that's $40. It got me interested in Lego again. Unless you're looking for something licensed like Star Wars.
>>5601078
Oh man.
This might be the wrong hobby for you.
What types of stuff do you like, though? Like the Castle stuff? Nexo Knights is neat. Clay's Rumble Blade is a good starting point, but it is a $40 set.
There's all kinds of shit out there if you're into Star Wars that sits at the $20-$30 range.
People tend to hate on Ninjago, but the new wave of stuff is pretty neat, with sky-pirate, steampunk airships and stuff. There are some pretty neat sets...I forget the name, but there's the very angular little ship that is $20 that everyone likes, and a little airship/balloon airship that is $30.
And even though $50 might be a bit steep for you, there's the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1 if you're into something like that.
If no actual themes sound good, there's always just picking up a bunch of the cheap creator sets. There's tons, and they're anywhere from $5 on up.
>>5601078
Splurge a little more and order with $75 from Lego Shop@Home. You'll get Mr. Freeze for free.

I appreciate all your kind words. I'll just go browse and get what I like the most while keeping the Rumble Blade and Ninjago stuff in mind, thanks!

I wanted that but it's good to know it's in your hands
>>5600098
malificent?
>>5601411
>>5601399
Thank you!
It's really nice how putting a reactive piece on either side of it makes it look like the flower itself is glowing.
>>5600098
Never say never.
Did you expect the new imp fig 10 years ago from Lego?
>>5601386
have you seen this one?
>>5601462
Yeah, I was on the fence between that one and the Robin, but I decided I liked the Robin more.
>>5601172
>>5601208
Thanks anons, I was wondering too. Pretty neat prints, especially how they work with the helmets.
>>5601447
Speaking of CMFs, does anyone here have any tips for a first time feeler? It's seems kind of fun, but for the life of me, the all the bags at the half full display case at the local grocery store felt the same. Couldn't really make out any detail. Maybe doesn't help that I'm a visually oriented person and not so touch sensitive. I'm aiming for the Janitor, how long does it usually take to ID a figure foe you?
>>5601530
Feeling for minifigures, usually LEGO fan sites publish a "feel guide" of what to feel for. Usually you're looking for a specific accessory, like for the janitor the hat or the mop head or the stick. The more distinct the piece is, the easier, like the Queen's rounded skirt piece.
If there's multiple figures in the wave with the same accessory, you go by process of elimination. Like it's going to be tough with the Disney CMF because Mickey and Minnie have similar heads, so you look for her skirt piece.
>>5600334
is he autistic?
>>5601530
I only just started with the last series, first time I mistook a pig for a shark head and kendo guy for cyborg guy. second try I got all of the ones I was still missing.
look up guides online, they'll outline easy to feel pieces. don't focus on scale, the pieces feel very different in the bag. always remember the plate with four studs and the checklist pamphlet thing, they're in every pack and will interfere with feeling. also if you're having trouble, ID the legs, torso and head, if you can keep them separate from other bits it'll let you focus on what else is in the bag.
>>5601571
> always remember the plate with four studs and the checklist pamphlet thing, they're in every pack and will interfere with feeling.
Derp, that would explain the big flat thing I could make out. I did look up a feel guide prior to my first outing, I was expecting the unique accessories to stick out more.
Seems like it's not a quick process if you have to separate out the common parts first, might just be worth it to buy him second hand and save the time.
>>5601060
Don't listen to them other goons, get the King's Mech and enjoy it. $30 for a fun build and an above average number of pieces.
>>5601675
King's Mech confirmed 10/10 set, can't wait for the Black Knight mech, which totally should have come out first anyway.
>>5601685
when in doubt, pinky out
>>5601685
I really want to get the pieces to give him a proper shield arm and give the shield a handle he can hold...
>>5601675
Picked up a Star Wars set, Obi Wans ship. I'll definitely get this one next though
>>5601694

Fucking Gamestop.

It's a 24 pack of blind boxes.
>>5601889
Bricks on the floor go in the trash.
>>5601911
At my store, they go right back in the bin. Or swept up and placed on the counter in front of the bins.
>>5601911
would be nice if floor bricks were put into a free piece bin with a limit per paying customer
>>5601911
So what's to stop unscrupulous employees from dumping pieces on the floor so they can take them?
So I usually build ships and vehicles and weapons and shit. But I wanna get into mechs and big robots. Every mech I build is flimsy as shit and I cant even fin a minifigs in them. How I mech?
>>5601994
I found copying other mechs was the best way for me to learn. You can see what other people have done and how it works.
Lego Quest is back up!

Employees probably pocket pieces all the time. And promotional polybags.
>>5601999
>Waaaaaaarriors~ Come out and play~
>>5601950
>seriously?
Yup. If you've ever been to the Lego store at Disney World, you know a special sort of pain because thousands of pieces fall on the floor every day there and they get trashed.
>>5601957
>So what's to stop unscrupulous employees from dumping pieces on the floor so they can take them?
If your manager is legit you'd get fired on the spot.
>>5602012
I believe it. Some of those employees at my local store seem like criminals.
>>5601994
I recommend picking up the Exo-Suit set, it's good for inspiration, and a pretty awesome mech once you modify it a little.
What the fuck is this? Did Knex have a Donkey Kong set?
That Diddy Kong has Lego Hands. I wish I wasn't broke.
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/Donky-KongMario-Nintendo-Legos-28887203.html
>>5601994
After that just look at people's stuff and rip it off shamelessly, https://www.flickr.com/groups/mechahub/ could be good for inspiration.
for example, pic related, just add your own greebling, vary the amount of joints and sizes to make it your own design.
>>5602012
Went in there a couple weeks ago to finally get that Detective's Office, and the manager trotted out a bunch of promo bags, so they threw in the Lego Store Employee with my purchase just to get rid of it.
Inspired by http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=6675-1#T=S&O={} (my favourite 4wide official car) i tried to mod one of my existing six-wide two-seater cars into a monstertruck with what i had laying around. The tires are surprisingly bouncy in themselves!
>>5602237
knex did mario kart sets. that yellow mushroom makes me think it's part of a diddy kong kart/bike/something.

I really like it but that hollow place next to axle makes me angry.
This looks good.
>>5602455
If only that new hair for Doctor Who was in green, it'd be perfect for Joker
>>5602445
Sorry bro, had to use two different solutions for attaching the axle thanks to limited parts.
It does feature room for THREE riders now tho.
>>5600619
These look great. I need some of the "Seer" minifigs. It's like Megaman designs crossed with tokusatsu heroes.
>>5601937
Disgusting. This and generally not knowing who's been messing with them are why I wash them really good when I get home.
>>5602455
I approve, if only the eye brows on Joker's head print weren't there it'd be perfect.

Jestro's face makes me always think of Frank-n-furter.

SHIT, I tried to take some pics of mine, but they are shit and ill just get laid into again by /lg/ because I dont have a DSLR and lightbox setup in my "dungeon". Dude, you hit the lottery with your face printing. My regular face is faded as shit, and my scruffy face suffers from "chink tony stark" syndrome, as in its printed too high on the head. Unless lego actually DID an official punisher, which if they did, please let me know man.
Saving grace is, at least these knockoffs are a dollar or less, so we can afford to buy a few and frankenfig them into a good figure, also subbing an official lego part here and there.

Where the fuck did everybody go. Talk about LEGO, dammit.
>>5603131
It's midday on a monday. In the US at least, many people are at work, and on a board that already has modest traffic. We have plenty of anons from all over in here but I would not at all be surprised if peoples' shifts, off days, and shifting attention simply coincide to mean Lego General just isn't getting a lot of traffic right now.
That, and I'm like 90% sure you don't want to talk about the implementation of drill/conical boobs on a MOC, so instead of that I'd rather simply lurk as usual.
All the NEXO Knights stuff is 20% off on TRU and Amazon US.
>>5603131
Anon, when you start to get upset because the post rate in the Lego thread of 4chan's toy board isn't fast enough to keep your attention, it's time to go outside.

If anybody asks you about it, tell them you're traveling for business and taking pictures for your son, who wanted to see his Lego on adventures.
>>5603222
I'd rather tell them i have legit assburgers.
When i went to get a diagnoses they gave me a brochure with information and shit. Guess what, as stock footage pictures they chose all these autistic childrens mocs out of LEGO. I didn't want to be "the walking stereotype" so i kept my mouth shut about it until last week. My coach and I had a good laugh about it though.
>>5603213
That grille/hood setup looks really good, I'm not sure about the suspension though.
I hate when people list shit on Craigslist and they can't have the decency to delete the listing when they actually sell the item.
>>5603247
Any suggestions on how to make it better?

it's still brilliant.

None, actually. It's a perfectly snug, unstressed fit between the disk and the click hinges.
>>5603279
thanks ponyfucker

Huh, okay. The ones I tried were ridiculously tight, visibly bent when in place. Bad luck I guess, eventually I'll pick up more and try again.

>>5604578
If you're buying it through Aliexpress, you don't get charged until you confirm that it arrived.
>>5605338
Why would you ever say it arrived?
>>5606751
Actually, I think how it works is that the store itself (not Aliexpress) doesn't get PAID until you say it arrived. Ali keeps your money either way. I assume after a couple of "didn't ever arrive"s, they will politely ban you.
Then again, I've only ordered one thing from them and it arrived very soon.
