Hi /lg/! I'm looking to buy between 10 and 20 minifigs. The twist is that I'm trying to spend less than $1.00 per fig and ideally they would be the exact same guy (same hair, head, torso, legs). I have found several stores on bricklink that have the parts or just complete figures for less than $1.00. Shipping will put me over on all of these so I guess I'm aiming for as close to 20 figures for as close to $20. I have also looked on E-bay and such for bulk lots of random figures, but I'm concerned that most of them seem to include terrible quality knock offs.


Has anyone ever done this before? Is such a thing even possible?


Pic related. It's a bunch of identical figs in a plastic baggy.

why don't you want to use the fenders from either city or speed champions?
CHeck out the simpsons car for a neat brickbuilt technique for fenders that is compact. I don't know if it works with the more in scale speed champions wheels though, i still don't have a lot of those.

>>5792350
Always here taxi-bro

>>5792350
Yes, like that.

I severely underestimated how hard it is to keep good looking proportions (especially when basing a car off a real one) and still have neat stuff like opening doors and an interior other than jumper plates. Plus there's all the different wheel sizes and most parts are designed for the chunky ones that you don't want to use at all if you want your wheels to be flush without fenders.

>>5792355
>why don't you want to use the fenders from either city or speed champions?
I dunno, they just rub be the wrong way and end up taking a huge amount of space.

taxi bros! I'll try to post recent pics of mine tomorrow. Can't repost the same pics forever right?

>>5792464
Now I want to make a taxi to join in the fun.

Should I try the classic Checker style, recent Caprice/Crown Vic style or modern Caravan style?

>>5792464
Yeah sorry if i repost a little too often, but at night it's hard to get the lighting right and positive.

>>5792477
the one you prefer! I want to make more cars but damn modern 6-wides use way more parts than the classic 4-wides from my childhood.

>>5792479
I was not complaining about yours. More like I have only one pic of my WIP so I need to take more pics.

>>5792484
>I want to make more cars but damn modern 6-wides use way more parts than the classic 4-wides from my childhood.
I know that feel. I'm still thinking in terms of everything being based off the seven-long base with the axles built in and the only SNOT being the one by four overhang plate.

6 wide windshields (and larger!) continue to amaze and astound me.

>mfw i only got to where i was today by plagiarizing the shit out of other people's techniques

>>5792611
I feel like getting gud at Lego is 80% copying what people made ten years before you and 20% spending all your disposable income on plastic bricks.

>>5792557
I started off looking at others work and trying to replicate what they did. From there I've played around with changing proportions, adding my own details, and just seeing what works. Don't get discouraged, just keep to it and you'll come up with something original that you can be proud of.

>>5792611
Is there any other way to get good at something? Like, I get that you can't just copy people forever, but 90% of the time you start out improving by copying /learning from other peoples work. I know I did.

>>5792611

We tank thread now?

Dope design on the right there, that turret is a beaut.

>>5792635
I've found that trial and error makes up a large part of improvement, as does repetition. See what works and what doesn't in terms of both overall design and individual part connections, and when you do land upon a design you're satisfied with, keep making similar things until you get a good grasp of things.

In the end, all of my Lego vehicles turn into Volvos.

The Indy tank mocs all kind of rub me the wrong way. They all get the shape wrong in some way, have no windows or realistic room for the entire crew let alone just three guys in the body and one in the main turret but that's more a problem with the limitations of Lego.

>>5793392
The Lego games one is the only version that I have no problems with but reverse engineering these from the older games is impossible. I don't have the games anymore and would have to do it from youtube walkthroughs and even if I did have the games the weird camera in LI2 makes it impossible to make out any of the finer details.

I wish they could just release LDD files for all Lego game models, they even use LDD for designing them so there really is no reason not to.

>>5793416
They'll never do it. Tanks are too close to modern for them to let through, unless it has a comical filter like the Mighty Micros one.

(I understand that tracks/chains don't work in LDD but I'd just like to know what wheels are best.)

>>5793501

Not a tank guy, but I do have a few tracked Technic things. At the very least you'll need sprockets at either end to stop the tracks slipping off sideways. I'm looking at an 8043 here which uses 42610 wheel hubs to support the tracks between sprockets, but 2994 fits snugly if they need to be bigger for looks.

You just need to come up with a decent lore that can be expanded on, then throw it up on Ideas.

>>5794200
yeah, you saw all the shit they made for their "Agents" line, even for the villians?

They can totally pull their original Lego: Heroverse with villian factions and stuff.

Imagine all the new original skins and pieces they could make.

What are the odds that Chima figure molds are used in the future?

The most fun part is that it might be possible for Lego to do media crossovers, having hypothetical "Heroverse" characters pop up in DC specials, and then having those same characters show up in the Marvel shorts.

I loved my legos when i was a kid, sadly i gave them away and i really want to start building shit again. What is a good starting set with loads of good bricks of all sizes and shapes? I want to build mechs, tonks and minifigs and try out brikwars.

>>5794815
well there are bins of "classic" parts in the creator line, but you may want to start by picking up lots of random parts at yard sales and stuff

>>5794815
>legos
Stop.
Mixels have a lot of joints and smaller parts and are often recommended for anyone wanting to start making mechs.
Other than that, I don't know, you seem like you want to build everything.

>>5794571
this is shaping up really nicely!

Has anyone here ever bought from a BL store called "0937 Brick" ?
It's run by a user called "htfighting" and is based in China.

It's the cheapest store I can find a particular minifig I've been chasing... but it's Chinese and hence I'm worried that it could be a bootleg/knock-off.

The store terms say that all minifigs are new and 100% real Lego, his feedback is 100% praise and a few of the comments in the feedback mentioned that its real Lego.

I'm probably just being paranoid, but China is both the spiritual and actual home of fake Lego. And the minifig I'm chasing is US$20~. If I spend that much on a single figure, I want it to be the real thing.

So like I asked, has anyone here ever bought stuff from this store? Is he legit? Are his products legit? Am I just being paranoid? Should I buy from him?

you can get the King's Castle Siege set from 2007 for around $100, and the other sets from the 2007 Castle theme are pretty good

the Kingdoms theme has green dragon knights and red lion knights, haven't tried any of those but there's a cool jousting tournament set

the Knights Kingdom II theme has some different colored armors that remind me of runescape

however i like to be as historically accurate as possible and the blue tabard with the crown on it looks to be the most accurate thing i can find, except for the modern-looking buckle on the belt

Honestly, chances of the being stocked here on Sunday are pretty close to nil.

IF they appear here already, I won't be expecting them before Wednesday, if even then.

>>5796544
What exactly are you looking for, then? There were a few decent heads in that link.

>>5796556
i want to know if facial hair is a rarity in denmark, like hooded sweatshirts, as that can be the only explanation for why those aren't common pieces or pieces that exist at all in this modern era of city and coffee mugs

What? I thought you were looking for a piece to use on a minifig.

>tfw OCD says you have to use as many old parts in MOCs as possible compared to new copies of the same element because the new ones always have ridiculously obvious mold marks and seams that the old ones didn't have

Enlighten has some nice fig designs, but I'm honestly starting to really dislike them due to how poor their assembly quality can be. I've tasted GUDI and it makes everything, even LEGO, look bad by comparison.
I'll still buy enlighten figs, but they are for display only as I'm afraid of them falling apart on me.

It's shit. Will buy 2x next issude though as I want those faces for my Lava monsters!

Hi /lg/, I'm new to the world of Power Functions, and I want to make an RC Car. I know how to use technic pieces to make a basic frame, but there are two things I need help with:
How to make a RWD Drivetrain for speed with suspension
How to make a front axle with both suspension and steering
Any good step-by-step picture tutorials on how to make the speed drivetrain and steering axle BOTH with suspension?

>>5792910
I hope we'll see more Speed Champions announced there.

They are from the Earth Border series. I really like the EDF feel the sets and figs have and am overall extremely impressed by them.

Finally got around to building a proper Lex mech.

>>5796793
I have used the basis of the Hulk Buster mech to build a Rhino from ASM2 and the Lex mech.

>>5796814
I honestly don't know if I want this one or not. I like the hairpiece, and I'm not planning on getting Fun in the Park, so I'd love to have the baby, but something about the way the fig looks bothers me, but I can't quite tell what.

>>5796826
It'd be more realistic if the single mom minifig had a mixed baby

The expression is an odd one, as if they were going for exasperation and just didn't pull it off.

Ultimate Spider battle. Once I get Hobgoblin I'll have a sinister six.

It is mixed. It's always mixed in Lego.

You can't have a Sinister Six without Mysterio.

>>5796888
Its pretty great and solid like a rock. GUDI in general will make you question everything and wonder what the fuck LEGO is even doing. Hell, even the instruction booklets are better as they include clearer instructions in fewer steps on thicker paper.
