Does anyone know if we're gonna get the rebels version of best captain and best girl? Cause I'd love to have both.
Geez how do you make a minifig scale Sayain Pod that looks good?
I cant find any examples
>>5616221
Rebels art style makes me sad. I miss the sharp edges of Clone Wars.
>>5616227
Yeah, the Clone Wars was much better than rebels, in many aspects. Personally I hate how the star destroyers look like giraffes with thos necks and the stumpy ties. But I really disliked the clone wars minifig faces, and would love a new (adult) Ahsoka with a face that fits the artsyle of the rest of my collection
>>5616227
was there a jurassic world set with a gyrosphere? I know it appears in the lego JW and dimensions games but is it a real thing? I'd start with that and see if all the pieces used exist in more generic forms.
>>5616233
>clone wars minifig faces
That transition from the simplified Star Wars faces got me the most. Lego Clone Wars figs were so fucking ugly.
>>5616234
The sphere part of the gyrosphere is just two pieces.
>>5616245
ah. disappointing.
>>5616221
I think captain is coming in a $120 set (their pimped out walker tank), and I havent seen SHIT about an adult Ahsoka yet, pissing me off.
>>5616254
I think that was cancelled. Also I remember reading rumors about her being in a set where she would be the main selling point. Also It might be store exclusive like target or something... dies Yurop get these? Or just bricklink?
>>5616227
I fixed it guys. I did it.
>>5616259
No, pictures of the tank set are around. Its coming out in the summer wave I think.
>>5616177
that cockpit is very zoid-like!
76$ and change

All on shark suit.
>>5616462
the upcoming wave has a kid in a devil costume with a halloween basket
>>5616464
Yeah I know that, but I'm talking about another wave dedicated to monster/horror type characters.
>>5616462
scooby doo is still out right now
>>5616468
Yeah they're all right. I still need to get my hands on the Pumpkin Horseman

Also codes if anybody still plays the fig game.
>>5616483
those are still all good figs tho
>>5616484
Yeah the queen hair mite b good for friends.
Also the robo has a nice face and I always wanted a piggy.
I changed up the tower mixel to have better teeth, banners, and a little watchman on top. Used the remaining parts to build a catapult with adjustable stabilizers on the side.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I was ludicrously happy with that wave.
Making a gang for Red to fight was the reason why I got three skeles to begin with; the Sunnydale Heights clique was just a last-second idea.
>>5616622
yeah that was a really clever use for the skull masks. I hope to see that gang again in some 3 stooges style shenanigans.
>>5616627
Well, they are the least-threatening (in Red's mind, anyway) gang so far.
Power ranking is definitely Skulls<8th Street Pirates<B-Boys
Plus since I only have three of them, their on-screen numbers are more limited than the sprites in a NES beat-em-up. I should BL some more skullmask heads and plain black torsos.

and the third.
>>5616704
Nah, at that point it should be able to deploy TIEs and capture rebel ships.
>>5616784
Yeah? I was actually thinking that they look too much like planes, maybe that's why. Thanks for the feedback!
My first Lego buy in months.
>>5616794
Split the front end, or wings, and make the engines bigger or more obvious in number, look at starfuries, eta 2actis, xwings and ties for help de/planeifying it.

I always thought it would be bitchin to round up a bunch of those Technic sets and build like a big quarry to work them in.
>>5616797
Thank you! I wasn't aiming for much higher than that.
>>5616802
I'll definitely try. I used one of the cockpits from this image as a base, if anyone's curious.
>>5616825
I was, so thank you!

I got one of those Pretzel Girls everybody was talking about. It was the only CMF on my want list, so when I saw it in a store on sale, I figured I'd better grab it.
I like the printed dress, but I don't like how the seam is off-center. I prefer the ones where the sides meet in the back.
>>5616976
Bavarian Girl is still my favorite CMF.
>>5616975
Here's hope a second Didney series will have Scrooge McDuck and Pissed Off Donald Duck

I'm not going to claim this theory is airtight, but hear me out. Disney wave 2 is going to have Goofy, I mean it has to, right? Goofy would benefit from having longer limbs. Woody isn't in wave 1. Woody has long limbs! So, I'm going to call Goofy, Woody, and Jessy in the next round of Disney figs.
I also recently found some older Disney mice. They are kinda huge.
>>5617043
Isn't that a duplo.
My prediction for series 2:
- Wizard's apprentice Mickey
- Elsa
- Goofy
- Nick or Judy from Zootopia
- Woody
- Maybe Pinocchio
- Chip and Dale
What I'd like to see:
- Oswald
- Scrooge McDuck
- Mr. Fredrickson from Up
- Wreck-it Ralph
- Baymax (civillian version)
- Gogo (civillian version)
- Fredzilla
- Duffy
>>5617068
I think he is more of a fabuland scale thing.
I'd love to see a Ralph figure. Basically anything they pick will print money.
im getting super nostalgic for this game
who here played this shit?
>>5617068
>Oswald
I'd shit myself with joy. I have multiple Oswald T-shirts, a statue, a watch, a painting, stuffed animals, two sets of ears (One from Disney World, one from Epic Mickey 2)... I'm mildly addicted.
>>5617104
I prefer the first racers over the second - still have that one installed.
The fact that they have never made a rocket racer set is a crime.
>>5617104

That's not the point. I understand it's the primary principle behind the Architecture sets but that MOC is pissing me off, and could and should be more impressive.
>>5617429
Think less Rio, more Johannesburg. Also I don't think it's supposed to be impressive like the Architecture series, that's kinda the point.
>>5617429
Modern art is not about being impressive or exposing real life problems. It's all about parasitizing on popular trends to gain money.

Hey guys. I have a question about the Power Functions IR Reciever. I know it has a 30' range, but my questions is, if I use an XL motor for my RC's Rear Wheel Drive, and an M motor for it's steering, can I control the motors separately with the two different joysticks on the small IR Remote? Or do I need to get on seperate IR Reciever for eac motor in which case? Also in that sense, I want to build an RC boat using two L motors. Can I control those with the seperate joysticks on the small controller with one Reciever, or will I need two receivers there, too?

>>5617615
>can I control the motors separately with the two different joysticks on the small IR Remote
Yes, that's the intention. Why would you need two receivers or remotes for just two motors?
Of note is that the IR Reciever has two outputs for two sets of motors, but like the old 9V parts before them the plugs for the motors can be stacked, letting them be controlled in tandem. This means, for example, that you can have two drive motors and one steering motor.
If you wanted to control three motors individually (e.g. primitive crane), however, then you'd need a second receiver. Do be careful as receiver power output can also be limited by battery box power or number of attached motors.
The minimum of PF parts for a simple RC car would be any battery box, any two motors, the IR receiver, and the remote.
>>5617629
>tfw I just pack new parts by category (sometimes not even that if I don't have enough ziplock bags) and used are just all in the same
Dedication like this makes me feel bad for my small store
>>5617693
Friend, never feel bad. I ordered from a store with 2300 Feedback, and 3000 orders, been a member since 2010. The store has about 8000 unique lots and almost 100,000 items.
Also, Link to store?
>>5617680
Yeah thats what I thought too, maybe I'll buy small city car sets, I still need the Octan gas station to complete this
>>5617695
I really don't want to shill, but since you asked.
>>5617700
It'll be more than self explantory 9nce you build the gas pumps/tyre inflating station and so forth outside. Maybe more stuff outside, gas stations always have those cargo cage things full of firewood, bbq lighters etc.
Interior looks fine, but I strongly suggest tiling your floor

What is your opinion on this set?
They did a great job recreating the game village. I wish they haven't fucked up the cute marketplace tough... And the fig sellection is horrible. Instead of Iron Golem they should put 2 more villagers and baby cow isntead of baby pig.
>>5617226
Old figs?
>>5617407
The real life Tortuga.
>>5617779
Obviously cool, but like alot of recent D2C sets they're not really for anyone. A kid might like the Minecraft sets, but probably isn't gonna get a 200 dollar set. And an adult wouldn't probably spend that much on a set that's pretty ugly and mostly basic bricks
>>5617668
Wish we had a proper super market build, would be awesome for a zombie diorama!
>>5617858
Don't get my hopes up, I'm planning on planning to add decorations on when theres holidays and an apocalypse last stand sounds awesome for Halloween

Might have to pick the Kwik E Mart up just for this. If only I could get it to work with my Brick Bank and Parisian Eatery

Great selection of displays inside though.

today i decided to order a flock of geese for me and my girlfriend
should be a fun little thing to put together :)
>>5618004
but anon, why not a flock of seagulls?
>>5618004
just a bunch of identical geese?
>>5617685
Okay, that's good to know. Now all I need to know is this:
If I use the IR Receiver with the AA Battery Box, can it power one M motor and one XL motor? Those are the two I'm going to use for the RC car.
And I know they can power two L motors for sure. Those are the ones I'm going to use for the boat.
>>5618021
Yes
She loves geese
>>5617668
Needs one of those propane tank return and pick-up cages Also maybe an ice box and a rack or two of windshield washer fluid bottles. Makes the outside a little more busy looking, little more life. Otherwise thats really good so far!

They look like somebody at Lego decided to dump random parts into sets just to get rid of overstock.
>>5618143
Eh, sure I guess - the idea of an inter-theme that connected other strictly separate themes at the time was not a bad idea imo and I always credited the hodgepodge design to weird scientist contraption looks.
But when I turn my kiddie brain off I can see that objectively it looks half-assed at best.

Its also kinda more expensive. Shit I dont know why Ive been overthinking this for the past 2 days
huh. I realized i kinda regret buying benny's spaceship.
It just sits there all huge and clunky collecting dust, and when i look at the actual classic space spaceships i ebayed, i wish i'd just used that money to get more of those instead.
Ironically, benny's spaceship is the first set i bought after my dark age
>>5618260
So now build your own spaceship using ONLY the parts from this set. Ald later make a space base!
>>5618067
Geese are evil, though.
Why is it so common for people to have a Lego dark age? What causes and ends it?
>>5618220
ngl, jang is kinda retarded here
he complains about inconsistency at the end
what does he way, all moulded heads? that would look so bad on majority of the humans
or all regular heads? stitch and mickey mouse and the gang would look awful
>>5618298
Probably cash, when you hit the general dark age bracket you've suddenly got other things to occupy your wallet with.
However I know what caused my dark age, and it wasn't cash.
It was moooooooooooooths.
>>5618298
my guess is that when you reach puberty you try too hard to fit in and to "grow up" because if you stick out amongst others they tend to make you their scapegoat. Only when you reach college age you start to understand that everything you thought was bullshit and you should enjoy your hobbies. That's how i see it, prolly others have different reasons but this is what i've noticed to be the reason with most people
>>5618307
It's all Lego fault because they still have no system when head needs to be molded and when not. And molding head+ armor molds should stop. I hate it.
>>5618297
Terry Bogard pls
>>5618298
I don't think dark ages are necessarily intentional.
I think I sold off my LEGO stuff around 1999/2000. I was like, 16 at the time and half way through highschool, and video games and stuff were more cool and more important to me at that time.
It wasn't that I really though toys or LEGO was uncool anymore, I was more just interested in games, and other hobbies at time. I ended up unloading all of my toys at garage sales and stuff for extra cash.
Boy, was that a mistake...
I need help, I can't build anymore for tonight, can anyone tell me what they think of this second version of my Flygon so far ? I'm exhausted and this was way too hard on me for some reason.
>>5618360
Oh, and also, the tail is taken straight from the V1, I'll modify it as well to look better. Here is the actual V1.

Pic related however... that's the real turd you're looking for. Yes...it's a 'complete' set
>>5618492
not him but, we can find exceptions in that consistency. Ultron uses minifig head plus helmet while C3PO uses molded head (and a terrible one in my opinion), even though his head mimics the human head. Azog is another weird choice in my opinion, he is just a big orc and all other orcs use minifig heads.

It pisses me off how Lego still didn't make those joint parts in other colors besides grey. It totally depreciates projects like yours. What gives? Why can't they make those damn mixel joints in other colors?
>>5618829
If you give them a ton of money I'm sure they will.
Otherwise it isn't deemed profitable yet.

>>5618829
they may with time, 1x2 brackets started like that, eventually they needed other colors. If they increase their use in not-mixels sets we may get new colors.
>>5618695
what's the point of that, it's just five parts fuzed together
>>5618863
Yeah, there were a lot of parts like that.
>>5618863
The late 1990s-early 2000s were Lego's "Try Anything and See If It Sticks" phase. They had no idea what they were building.
Maybe it was to get a younger audience through limited part count, like the Juniors line nowadays.
I feel like there's a lot of potential for a buddy comedy about a zookeeper who accidentally lets an animal escape and has to secretly team up with an animal control officer off the books to bring it back before the big public exhibit.
>>5618894
I'd watch that.

Decent wheels, orange cab, a bunch of orange slopes and that grille, it actually looks like a bunch of useful pieces.
>>5618935
There's about 25 pieces on that set, and half of them are used for the tires. Most of the other ones are the kind of large pieces that 4 Juniors gets hated for, save for those 1x3 slopes on the back.
Who wins?
>>5618968
Yeah, you're right. I found it on bricklink and it's crap; I saw like ten pieces I want...turns out it's actually exactly two.

>>5618875
1990s-early 2000s were when the first era of set designers started retiring, so LEGO hired a load of fresh architects and art students to replace them. They had no idea of toy design and production, so they created one-use molds for pieces, invested heavily in themes that weren't even product tested, had no idea of cost or price-points (some sets were sold at below cost because the designers had no idea how much the materials cost) They literally checked every box of what not to do. Its what lead to the meltdown and almost collapse of LEGO in 2002-3.
>>5618873
Pieces like this were created because of the ineptitude of the designers and miss understanding of LEGO construction.

you can buy fakes for a fraction of the cost that look pretty much identical, definitely worth it if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a minifig.

Anon, do you have a child, or know somebody who does? My 3-year old likes Duplo, but can't really build a vehicle from normal system bricks on his own yet. Sets like your pic related are nice stepping stones, also it looks bretty good, unlike the 64xx shit.

>>5619515
>Spider-Gwen
Yes please. I was actually considering ordering this custom, but the fact that it's 30 bucks (and would stick out like a sore thumb since it's so slutty) made me change my mind. Still I want a Spider-Gwen goddamnit

fuck you, cishet. she's a proud spider lego who can look how she wants

Correct. But I dress like a girl because I'm pretty, not for humour.
Anyway, watch the Lego Movie. It's tenouttaten, and it got me back into Lego after a decade dry spell.

Is there a part that locks two holes together, or a part that's studs on both sides?
I want to make a cybrog, and I'd like to plug up the hole at the bottom of this piece to make it look seamless.

you could probably make some contraption out of minifig hands and pneumatic tubing

Pretty sure they did some weird shit with the union between the mouth and the nose.
It should be a jumper plate, but the sloped bricks that make up the cheeks look like they have a half stud on the other end, so I don't know what the fuck is happening there.
The autism is strong with me.

This coupled with the bike set from last wave is basically our suicide squad sets then?
Deadshot, Harley, Capt. Boomerang, Katana, Killer croc are all present now.
>>5620092
Oh, good to know. At least they did bother to use actual models and unions that exist, instead of using weird connections, nonexistant parts or non-brickbuilt stuff in the newer games.
It shouldn't bother me, considering they are games and all, but still.
okay did bane really have to install a facemask on the tumbler

Oh snap that looks tight, if it were just a little smaller i'd do something like that for my monster trucks.
>>5620278
You can basically cut three studs from the wheelbase if you want to make it shorter. If you need it to be less wide, you'll have to give up either independently sprung wheels, or structural integrity.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS
serious question though, WHY would they do that? i cant think of a single benefit to using that brick as a different color, unless theres a reason for it in the rest of the set. If its "they had too much of blah blah" its not like 2x1 is a rare piece, they wouldn't need to shove it into another set to get rid of it
>>5620377
I'm pretty sure I have that set, somewhere in my mom's basement. You can see the darker brick from the back, but I don't remember that looking intentional, exactly.
I think it's just that there were other 2x1 dark pieces in the rest of the set, but nowhere else a 2x1 grey was used, so they didn't put in the 1 brick

Hey /lg/, me again.
A few questions.
I'm going to use...
A AAA battery box. 2 L motors, an IR receiver, and this propeller module. The props aren't complete, I just need one more small prop on the right. There will be two rows of three small props.
Please answer the questions with stars of both boats.
What I need to know is:
How fast will the props spin with an L motor? I'll post the gearing module if needed.
Which boat is more maneuverable?
Which boat is less likely to flip with light waves (I.E. a bathtub that was just filled) with the eight inside?
I need to know these things because I want to build an RC boat. There's a very shallow creek at my aunt's house where it won't have a chance to flip, so that's fun. And I want to enter it in the BrickFair boat race at Virginia.
>>5620637
I don't see anything wrong with this.
>>5620649
I can't answer your questions, but I wish you luck!

>>5620726
You want to recreate your key ring, UCS style?
This is only tangentially related to /lg/, but I discovered a problem with my new lighting setup after the last episode. The new lights are crazy bright, which is good, but their heads are clear frosted instead of black metal, which is bad. Even with all the lights turned away, there was so much glare that I had to hold a baseplate up in the air to stop the obscuring reflections in a lot of shots.
There has to be a better way!
Enter these sweet baffles that I put together today. Laminated posterboard ensures a stiff and tight fit, and the 2-inch diameter margin means the set gets almost no direct light, only bounce.
They're pretty simple to make. I have two sets of lights, but I was able to make enough for all six bulbs with a single sheet of posterboard.
>>5620737
Yeah. Do you haave any tips?
>>5620754
I got them at Walmart for twenty bucks each. Plus bulbs.
Here's a picture without the baffles...
>>5620775
ah yes, you can certainly tell the difference. Nice work!
...and the same shot with the baffles.
Really, really happy with how well this works.

>>5620789
>why doesn't Lego make a set about a young woman being thrown off a bridge
I dunno anon
>>5620649
I used to subscribe to a RC boat magazine. I don't want you to just take my word as fact, but I hope I can steer you in the right direction. You don't want a ton of rotation in the props. If they go too fast you'll generate cavitation. That will make your boat go much slower. The amount of maneuvering is going to be very similar as long as they are both have shallow waterlines. As for flipping, I'd assume the bigger one will be more stable. The other advantage to the bigger one is it should be able to take more weight and that means you can add more balancing weights and equipment.
How are you going to keep the mechanical and electrical parts safe from getting wet?

http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=99563#T=C
>>5619523
I don't think it's as much the heavy boob emphasis as much as it is the emphasis on the waist. There have been plenty of busty Lego minifigs, but the problem with that one is that the waist is so thin that it looks odd on the figure.

>>5621132
Which one? I believe that most if not all of the black astromechs have been in large, expensive sets - I think one is exclusive to the Death Star, even.
So it really depends on which it is.
>>5620174
I bought this recently and i was pleasantly surprised. I put the ford driver minifigure in my ford focus.
Speed Champions in now one of my favorite themes. Before I really only collected the star wars legos.
>>5620649
every boat moc i've seen used the airplane rotors as propellers. i don't really think what you have in the picture (the traditional lego props would work)
>>5621176
I know, im just fucking around. But it really would be silly if their reasoning is "its a young woman in danger, too violent!"
>>5621202
Speed champions is surprisingly solid theme. I only have two cars, the ones I personally like the most, and other than buttload of stickers, I love them.
