Let me get this M O T H E R F U C K I N G straight
So I did a quick bricklink search, I clicked elves I saw Farran (the elf guy) goes for 2$??

top right
>>5725161
>>
>>5725486
Why do they consistently choose the shittiest ones?
>>
>>5725496
digital zoom is basically auto cropping, right?
it lets you zoom in and out using the physical zoom while keeping the minifig the same size.
that way, the background changes in size/blur
>>
>>5725458
I also hope that.
>>
File: zoom.png (58KB, 800x800px) Image search: [Google]
zoom.png
58KB, 800x800px
>>5725501
No. Digital zoom is a crop of the middle (usually) of the image on the sensor, which is then upscaled to fit the full image size and usually has a blur filter applied. Changing the digital zoom won't change the appearance of the tower relative to Lego guy's head.

Actual physical zoom will change the perspective of a photo as well- distant objects will appear closer and a scene will appear "flatter" the longer your focal length, which is what you describe with
>it lets you zoom in and out using the physical zoom while keeping the minifig the same size.
>that way, the background changes in size/blur

Why would a setting named digital zoom change the physical zoom?
>>
>>5725508
Also, keep in mind that Googling for examples of this will never give you good results- everyone just crops part of a full image and edits it to simulate digital vs optical zoom, but none of them take into account the difference in perspective that your optical zoom makes.
>>
>>5725509
*difference in perspective that your zoom forces you to make yourself by getting closer to the subject, which will change how everythinge else looks.

Fuck it, I'm no /p/otato, this stuff is hard to put into werds.
>>
>>5725486

Still waiting for them to do that
>>
>>5725508
no i meant you use the physical zoom to zoom in and out, and then you use digital zoom to reframe the minifig.

imagine you're far away from the minifig:
-if you zoom in physically, the background will look more blurry and closer to the foreground.
-if you zoom in digitally, the background will look more in focus and slightly farther away
>>
>>5725530
Background blur is dependent on aperture, not just zoom. Raise the aperture far enough and the background will be as sharp as the foreground regardless of zoom.
>>
>>5725535
*ackhually* you have to lower aperture to be more in focus, but even then there are constraints because of light. if you don't have enough light you gotta keep it wide open to get more light in and stuff will get more blurry. but i guess that with lego you can just increase exposure time. unless you have a cheap point and shoot that doesn't let you do that.

I have a strong feeling that a majority of these characters are gonna be released -- all of the villains for sure. Whether it'll be in regular sets, polybags, DVD pack-ins or SDCC is to be seen.

I don't claim to be a photography expert, but my potato calls it "digital zoom", it changes the depth of field (?) in a different way than the manual zoom does, and these three pics were taken without moving the camera's position. But like I said, I am not an expert at this.
>>
>>5725626
in those 3 pics the physical zoom changes, that's what changes the depth of field.
digital zoom can only crop the picture.
>>
>>5725629
Well, my camera calls it digital zoom, and I made the guide based on my potato, so I assume anyone (like you) who actually knows anything about it won't need as much hand-holding and probably won't be using a potato.

Good to know, though.
>>
>>5725633
yup-
basically the top picture is zoomed out physically and zoomed in digitally.
the bottom picture is zoomed in physically without any digital zoom.

The general idea is that with physical zoom, when you zoom in you make everything "flatter" (BG looks closer to FG) and when you zoom out you make everything "deeper" (BG looks farther away than FG). so with physical zoom you control how the BG looks in relation to the FG.
Then, to frame the subject properly, you can 1) move closer/further away 2) crop the shot in post 3) zoom in/out with digital zoom - the result should be pretty much the same (correct me if i'm wrong)

All /p/ wankery aside, i think ultimately the guide makes sense and works anyways.
>>
All this photography talk makes me want to get a proper camera to take some pics. I'm currently working my phone's camera (xperia Z3) but I would love to improve my pics with non-digital zoom.

It's a good guide, but I don't think you should tell people to just "lower the ISO" without explaining what it does, and that you have to either increase the aperture or add more lights to balance it out.

What's the trick to getting two minifigs to sit comfortably in a 6-wide car? How hard is it to make something that looks good without using mudguards?

Here's a quick mockup of two ways of fitting two figs side by side, with different doors, as you can see there's room for other stuff there too, and mudguards are not necessary.
It -will- be cramped, but that's really just the nature of Lego.

>How hard is it to make something that looks good without using mudguards?
The speed champions and regular mudguards work pretty well in six-wide scale, yes. But other techniques are possible as well (will post in a followup post)
>How hard is it to get all the shit to line up right like that in the first place?
Uh, dunno? Getting a stable chassis needed some serious fucking around time for me though.
>Is there ever a good use for the double-height doors?
I don't use them myself but >>5725666

My interiors only have room for a steeringwheel and two studs next to it that you can use for a console or something.

7 wide is definitely possible, however I would learn to crawl before running a marathon. Lego gets way more complex when working with odd widths, though I see plenty of nice models on Eurobricks and similar.
8 wide I'd steer away from, unless it's a really heavy duty truck or something.
Here's a 6-wide 4 seater I made, it's got a lot of room in the back for luggage and stuff without looking disproportionately huge.
Also, once again, without mudguards. It's not difficult, if anything, it makes it easier since you don't have to reserve so much space for the mudguards.
>>
>>5725675
>>5725676
Thank you.

I've been trying to put the jumper plates reaching to the outside with doors right above that, which leaves an empty peg in the middle for a center console (which can look pretty alright but makes everything super cramped and makes the doors a big flustercuck that can't even be solved with the tall tile things).

ex. of jumper confusion and trying to make things too detailed and having no simple way to make the windshield play nice (other than not using a solid windshield but that's lame).

I guess no one uses those seats anymore, huh? Shame, I liked them.

>>5725692
I can see the appeal for sure, and it blew my mind that they even existed (something that I hope happens to everyone who gets back into Lego after over a decade when they discover all the new pieces), but I guess I just dig big square sealed beams and the types of cars that have them. 1x1 round flats are nice, too- why aren't those used more often instead of pegs?

Hmm, with some more space between the rows, I think there would be a way to make that work. But yeah, I don't use the seats, but that doesn't mean you can't use them.
As for making the windshield fit, you could try a 3x6x2 windshield, like the one I use in >>5725681
It's one stud "deeper" than the regular ones, which gives extra space between your figs and the windshield.

There's probably a way to make it work, but I'm a shitter and can't figure it out. The 3x windshield has little curve parts taken out so it'll fit on top of the tall doors, but the 2x doesn't, oddly; the 2x can be made to work just fine without the tall doors, but that means building the shorter doors up height wise or making a big ol' gap above them that would look weird.

I never had this much trouble when I was a kid making four by seven vehicles on the designated vehicle base with 2x4 windshields. For want of a nail I've stabbed myself in the foot!

7-wide is my preferred scale, at least when building SUVs and trucks. Give it a shot sometime, though you'll certainly have to get comfortable with offsets.

>>5725725 The problem I have with those seats is that not only do they raise your fig by a plate (which can screw up design dimensions) but they also take up a lot of room due to the back of the chair. I just sit my figs directly on the jumper plates, taking care of both those issues. Sure the interior might look a little bare, but that can be overcome to some degree. Plus functionality is a bit more important than aesthetics in this case (imo).

Not that anon, but is it reasonable to go 6-wide for coupes, sedans, wagons, etc; 7-wide for SUVs and trucks; 8-wide for semi trucks and oversized utility trucks, ambulances (rear), anything else bigger than standard; and 4-wide can go fuck right off?

I think if you're just starting to delve into vehicle making, that's a pretty good rule of thumb. Of course, everything is subject to opinion, and depending on the scale you're working in one size might be more viable than another. Personally I find 7-wide to be quite versatile, and build quite a few things in that scale (pic related).

Weak parts like those hooks in front, flimsy looking tracks. That minifig's fit to give me nightmares and the antenna's looking more like casting error than an actual piece.

Don't listen to those fuckwits.
Just get yourself a small one, that is fairly cheap, and then judge from there.
There is no need spending money on the larger sets if you end up not liking them.
I think they are pretty good. I just love tanks, and I use them mainly for static display.
>>
>>5725972
Even if I did have experience with it, I'd much prefer building with actual Lego.

I mean, if you don't particularly care about improving your Lego building skills then by all means go ahead and buy it. You do you, man.

>Not sure why Lego continues to use the standard chunky wheels, come to think of it.
Probably so there's more flexibility when kids are rebuilding them? That, and they look, well, more like wheels- big cartoony ones that a kid playing with Lego will draw. They don't want steelie wheels and thin tires- they're building the toy car of their dreams (or the last ten minutes of their imagination), not a '92 Honda Civic.

It's almost funny, 'cause in my opinion quite a few of their own vehicles (especially the smaller City ones) look way, way better with the non-chunky wheels.

>>
>>5726074
93594. There's multiple wheels in that size with two different tire types- the tire you want is 51011 (17.5mm), the other tire type is so small it makes the whole assembly the same size as the dinky tiny wheels you see on go-karts and shit (you know the one).

There's also 5 and 8 spoke wheels in that size, but they look worse than the steelies IMO. All of them look kind of dinky if you're using mudguards most of the time, but leave 'em off and they'll look good.

The game is made by Warner Bros. Disney is notorious for not wanting to work with them. Shit like this is why the Gen 13 animated movie is tied up in legal red tape.

Even the Lego Movie had barely any SW presence and you get the feeling Disney felt they were being "generous" with that cameo.

I believe they actualy closed Infinity to focus on Dimensions. And I'm sure we will get SW and Disney Characters.

>>5726466
I'd expect Marvel to join up as well, if Disney really did close Infinity for that. To be honest, I highly doubt that's the case, seeing as Dimensions is produced by Warner Bros, one of Disney's long-standing rivals.

I learned one - Noone will care as long it will make enough money.
>>
>>5726474
On the other hand we wouldn't expect to have all these new IPs having a Lego presence 2 years ago.

Apparently the only non-viable addition would be Marvel since they are highly autistic over sharing their presence with DC, but I have yet to find a source that confirms this.
Disney, on the other hand, would not pass the chance to stay in the TTL market and get an additional profit thanks to the Lego tax.

>It's a good guide, but I don't think you should tell people to just "lower the ISO" without explaining what it does, and that you have to either increase the aperture or add more lights to balance it out.
To tell the truth, my knowledge of photography doesn't extend much farther than what I've learned from years of using my potatovision. It only lets you change the ISO, and also I wanted to keep it as concise as possible. You're right that I made mistakes and left things out. I wish that somebody who actually knows about cameras would make a guide for the people without potatoes.

True. Plus, they already have a minifigure series.

But one thing: The LEGO Group sounded pretty precise about the three-year plan. It's likely that they had every potentially addable series already planned out prior to Disney Interactive's shutdown, and any properties that aren't already part of the plan are pretty much out of the question.

>Is it profitable? Fun? Are there any tips and tricks I should know?
Nope, but I haven't lost money. I have fun with it. People want minifigs, most don't care about blocks and plates. If you want my best tip, I'd say you should check your shipping costs and constantly make sure they are up to date. You can't be losing money in getting the customer's plastic to them.

>A dude gave me...
If you don't want it, that's one way to start. Just make sure you keep good records of what you sell and whatnot. If you feel like keeping us updated with your progress setting up the shop and eventually how your sales are, I know I'd like to hear how you do. Don't be afraid to ask for more help
>>
>>5726632
I run one. Can't be a big store and make a real profit here but I know it is a big deal for American and European stores.

It is slow, you may get stuck with the pieces for a long time.

tips and tricks: use you splash page and store term page to describe everything in details, shipping methods, taxes, whatever you feel you need, this way it is less likely to get stupid buyers.

I traded for a new friend today. It seems like it has been through a lot in its life. The front and back of the torso have a few knicks, and I don't see any of those blue bodies with the coin purse having exposed arms. The face has solid stud on the top. I assume the head might be the oldest part. The whole thing is dirty from play (I can only guess that it was played with), but the legs seem especially dirty. Not to mention they are a pleated skirt with high socks. One last anomaly I want to really get some input on is the hair. It looks to me like the hair from the series 4 werewolf. I don't see any color difference for the printed ears.

Anyone else got mystery minifigs to share?

for some reason it looks interesting. And yeah that's the werewolf hair missing ear prints. I guess the legs are from the red chearleader?
>>
>>5728157
Definitely series 8 Cheerleaders legs.

Speaking of cheerleaders, why the hell are there no US-based sellers for S.1 Cheerleader's pom-poms on BL, damn it?

That guy looks like he wouldn't be out of place in places like Mt. Moon, Rock Tunnel or Victory Road. Why don't you try going for another Pokémon typically found in caves? What size of build are you thinking about?

Be sure to Jew 'em on shipping.

It's just an excel spreadsheet. I wanted to do it on my brickfolio but I had no idea how to add figs.

How do you guys store/organize your legos? I've got about 6 of these bins, as well as a flat bin under my couch and looking for pieces I need has been driving me crazy.

err, thanks for going to the trouble of creating a new thread, but this one hasn't even hit the bump or image limit yet..
>>
>>5728275

I take that back, it did reach the bump limit.

That seems like such a low number for this board..

That's not true. I missed the entire series 12 wave. I just need an idea with what limited bricks I have. I have a few vague inklings , but no complete idea yet.

>>5728256
For now I have pieces sorted in labelled plastic bags, which makes them take up little space and makes them easy to find, but this would be nice to put the bags in.
>>
>>5728366
Talk out the idea. I'm sure somebody will have an idea that could help. I'd make a beach chair and umbrella if i was entering.
>>
>>5728366
Series 12 was the best one to date, was it not?
>>
>>5727071
I know about the tribe packs(I got 3 of them), but I was referring to blister packs.

>>5727105
I never saw these on shelves. When did they come out?
>>
>>5728413
These packs were on S@H and in Lego shops only - the one pictured is from first Chima year. 2012

Anyone own prison island? Worth it?

Can't say I'm disappointed, I wasn't going to blow 15+ bucks on a single minifigure anyways.

Why's this thread so dead this week? Just nothing going on?
>>
>>5731447
It's autosaging on page ten.

It's so old, that the next thread has already been made, then died.
>>
>>5731447
I guess some people are still waiting for summer wave to arrive, me included.
