It was a quaint joke some anon made in one of these threads where he made a dimensions set that featured an Emmet with a cup as a head and a mud guard/ wheel well/whatever you want to call it as the "vehicle". Now its just been beaten into the ground as usual.

Once again, explaining the joke, fucking hell, etc etc etc.

>>5830332
To explain further, the DIYmensions set is a reference to how the City theme tends to include those one-piece fenders on every single vehicle, as well as at least one coffee cup of some sort, usually on the dashboard of the vehicle.

>>5830337
Much better explained than I could do. Thank you anon.

That guy missed one key thing though in his original joke.

No fire extinguisher.

Almost EVERY super hero set and several star wars ones feature the red 1x1 round and red tap to make a fire extinguisher. Its become an inside joke between me and my GF, whenever we build new sets we both call out when we find that inevitable extinguisher.

City doesn't have the fire extinguisher, but it does have the Octan gas tank (2x2 round with three tiles and a tap on top) that shows up everywhere from rally trucks to space shuttle ports.

Funnily enough, they can't decide if it should be red over green or green over red- both have shown up in sets!

>>5830843
You remind me of a friend of mine who has Benny's SSS, TIE Advanced vs. A-Wing, Kanan's Speeder bike and Ultra Agents Hurricane Heist still in their boxes in his room.

Granted, he doesn't have room to build any of those, I'm fairly sure Kanan's box is practically lost somewhere and Benny is acting as a roadblock for his cats.

>>5830847
Oh, no, don't get me wrong. If it were ANY other set, it'd already be done and on display.
But there is something, some aura, about the Palace Cinema that has caused me to procrastinate on it ever since I got it. Of course, since I'm procrastinating, I can't get new sets because I'd just feel dirty opening and finishing a large set before finishing the large set I already opened. (Before you ask, yes, I have been diagnosed with autism.)
>>5830845
Thank you.

Does getting any new set bother you in this way? If you pick up a Mixel, or a CMF, or a polybag, do you feel the same dirtiness that you would if it was a UCS?

Nope, no dirtiness if it's something small.

some stores offer free shipping or just really cheap shipping. At least for me it is cheaper to import stuff from europe than buying lego here, by far.

>gray hair

are you retarded?

>>5831042
I already had to use the same hair mold for CIA, I didn't want to use similar hair colors to add onto that. (CIA would be black haired, Dr. Pavel would be brown-haired) Gray hair's also more distinct amongst the others and, when contrasted against the dark-shaded buzzcuts of the military men, immediately distinguishes a character as important - and Dr. Pavel, in this case, being CIA's prize, is very important. Visual storytelling at its finest.

if you're a richfag, git it, but if not I dunno

and iirc, yes, cracklink only sells official lego

>>5831249
>>5831035
If you want a cheaper alternative, theres SEVERAL "different companies" in china who make knockoffs that are 1:1 with the original. Only thing you might have to replace is the light saber blade, thats what I had to do because it was a pinkish color instead of red.

Get a Revan for under a dollar.

>>5831035
>>5831249
You MIGHT get non-Lego from a seller that doesn't know any better, but that's extremely, extremely unlikely.

Some sellers sell bootlegs, but they're usually custom items and they clearly say "Hey, this isn't official by the way"

>>5831249
what if u get a knockoff anon ? way cheaper and similar quality if y'know where to look

>>5831249
>>5831258
There are those listings from hong kong like "Aayla Securas head dress" and they have like 3000 of them available. I question that shit, especially when its the more rare or expensive pieces. I wouldnt be surprised if people sell bootleg on there, and their customers just happen to be satisfied enough to not report them or anything.

gee thanks, will try the knock off then. How dirty will I feel? I know for a fact that I will feel dirty, but how much?
also, which good knockoff sellers do you reccomend?

>>5831264
Reminds me of one seller that has like 4000 of one Bionicle-mask in stock.

That particular one was only included in a limited release combo pack, but the fact that the seller is based in Germany makes me think that they're the real deal.

>>5831266
Sheng Yuan and Enlighten are generally considered the best. Everything else varies from acceptable to flat out terrible.

>>5831266
Youll only feel dirty if you let yourself, anon. As far as brand goes, good luck. My theory still stands that the different "companies" making these knockoffs are all the same Triad gang and they just change names every so often and split their business into several "companies" so f anyone DID decide to try and go after them (HA!), it would be impossible.

SY and POGO are pretty good places to start though.

10243 Parisian Restaurant.
It's modular, so not only can you take off each of the three levels and marvel at the detailed interiors in each one, you can also connect it with other modular buildings like 10232 Palace Cinema or 10246 Detective's Office.

>>5831648

>>5830956
make a prop(ala levers, turnstyles, or w/e) from the lego games

>>5831619
In terms of themes, City, Pirates and Starwars.

>>5831657
Older.

If you're concerned about expiration dates, then go for Pet Shop, that is very close to retirement. Then Palace Cinema, then Parisian Restaurant, then Detective's Office.

This is probably the order I'd recommend, since DO is essentially agreed upon to be the best modular, and you want to save the best for last.

>>5831618

Seeing the brickbuilt head in person, it doesnt look as bad as I thought it would, but until lego gets their fucking heads out of their asses, or our future chink overlords decide to make a complete set for The Bounty Boys, he will definitely stand out amongst the others...

Doctor Strange, Tanker Truck Showdown, Rescue from Ra's al Ghul, Samurai X Cave Chaos, and Airjitzu Battle Grounds, Rebel Combat Frigate, and the Black Knight Mech are all listed as online only. I found the Black Knight at Toys R Us, so I'm guessing these are mostly shared exclusives.

Is it a reduction of quality across the entire catalog?
There is a wider selection of peices, in more colors, with new peices being released faster and faster.
my clip peices from 20 years ago are starting to crack, but the new ones feel stronger and lego has even made sets with what used to be illegal connections. The hud on blue power jet comes to mind.

>>5832952
It's 50/50. For smaller things like clips, they're redesigned them so they're stronger and less prone to cracking (usually in the shape of the clip itself), but for bricks in general, they're thinner (so thin you can often see the imprint of the hole on the bottom of a plate- from the top, smooth side!), flimsier, and you can reliably pick out the seams and lines from the mold, even on parts that never used to have them (i.e. 1x2 tiles now have a seam going straight through the middle underside of them, which is noticeable on the transparent parts and never used to be there).

There's also the color quality control (read: nonexistent) and STICKERS EVERYWHERE.

The clip you talk of on the BPJ isn't illegal, it would be with the old clip but the newer ones are thicker designed with a notch for that type of connection in mind.

>>5833047
>>5832952
Pic of connection in question?

This is the old clip that easily snaps and would be used illegally which you refer to.

I hope Lego knows that if their quality drops to that of other companies then they're going to have to compete more on a creativity level. Right now Lego is THE BEST when it comes to quality of bricks and consistency of clutch. If they let the go...

And this is the new glorious reinforced clip they rolled out in the BPJ, quite hard to see the nano millimeter notch but it is there. Hope that helps.

>>5833072
I'm pretty sure that's the new clip, the older ones were more of a U, not a C (less of an angle where it meets the base) and were also grey, not bley.

>>5833074
Their quality is dropping. Their parts honestly look like Megabloks now, and the ancient switch to blue grey didn't help at all.

>>5832910
The Lego store carries all exclusives. Or at least they should.

>>5832894
Went to the Lego Store near my house with the sole purpose of buying the tanker truck set with my VIP money. Didn't have them yet. Well, I guess TRU gets my money.

>>5833079
Just checked, I was right.

BRICKFAIR COUNTDOWN
AFTERNOON OF THE LAST DAY

>>5833085
It still feels like an intended connection, you can feel it slot snugly into place. I don't defend the C-style ones at all, those bastards snap themselves if you just leave it connected after a while.

>>5833105
I know, I was just pointing out you had the order backwards. I vastly prefer the older ones myself, not only do they look better but they're absolutely more solid to hold shit with (look at all that plastic on the sides compared to the dinky C arms!).

>>5833115
That's fine, I did just jump into that discussion. Agree with you, there's that aesthetic to be found within form and function when it comes down to this hobby.

>>5833101
Technically, it's less than half a day if you're doing that early-bird thing they have tonight.

BUT THAT WON'T STOP ME FROM POSTING ABOUT IT

Any news on Speed Champions 2017?

>>5833080
They are available from LEGO's online store, but for some reason they aren't available in actual LEGO retail locations. I feel like this is a first time for this.

According to a LEGO employee I talked to, it might be because other retailers (Wal-Mart, Target, Toys R Us) were getting angry because their "exclusives" were being sold at LEGO retail stores and were often cheaper.

I only just realized that the king's mech's shield is a larger version of the nexo minifig shield.

>>5831947
Can't explain the mugs, but maybe the extinguishers are parts padding and their excuse is "teaching children safety lol"

>>5833402
Lego does some shady shit like that from time to time. Oh look, this set has a fire extinguisher for all six minifigs. Oh, it also costs $3 bongpounds more.

4-LOM's legs weren't digitigrade. That RA-7's default legs are about as good as you can get until they make an official 4-LOM figure

>>5831946
This is really great. Maybe a brown (or tan, or dark brown) sloped piece -the kind used for dresses- can be used for his robes.

Can someone who remembers Lord of the a Rings better than me help me with the LEGO Dimensions LOTR Adventure World riddle?

meh

also cut your nails

>>5833507
Beautifully done given you can only do so much to in making a robot that can transform out of a car despite having 10 times more mass than said car.

>>5833511
Cut them? Never!

I wanted to do it self contained, but it was a little meh. I choose to have a better robot with some parts of the limbs separated.

Maybe not the best option, but I don't know....

how do they fuck up the big name heroes while showing love to c-listers like the legion of superheroes? by all accounts it doesn't make sense

i guess i should expect as much from the company that brought us iron man vs mandarin's zamboni

LEGO fucking hates having bought DC's license, because kids only and I mean ONLY buy Batman shit.

Quality is definitely going down on the plastic. I've had a ton of these pieces break
>>5833077
and not the clip part, but the tile base part itself cracking in half. No stress on the pieces either, it's just sitting there displayed. They're not being exposed to extreme temperatures or anything. It makes no sense. 3 of the 4 clips from this set and both fins on the back have been broken, and all but three of the brown angled clips that hold Gorzan's Gorilla Striker's fingers have split as well. I don't know if Lego will send replacement parts for a set that old, but this is pretty ridiculous. I'm guessing you send them a photo and the proof of purchase number from the instructions with a request for the parts? I dunno, I never had to do this before.

>>5833802
The clips in that set are the new C-style clip, not the old style in the post you linked to.

Apparently, since GRTU is out of stock, the ENTIRE order is delayed until it's back in stock. I thought that S@H would just ship me Harvest of Fear and London Bus first, then GRTU when it was back in stock.
What do?

cancel order, make two separate orders, one for the ones that are in stock and the other one on backorder for GRTU?
