I like Jang.

No matter how bad the set, Jang always says something nice. Even about that death star everyone hated.

Aka best edition. I love this shit. I don't really have color specific and modern bricks, but minimalist builds always make me feel like building stuff.

Same. I actually don't have many lego around, everything way back at my parents' several states away. But I've picked up some mixels recently. I've saved a folder with a bunch of stuff like this in it because it appeals to me more than a lot of the bigger sets.

Can we talk about Nexo Knights for a bit?

>>5978643
i hate nexonights

>>5978656
So do I.

>>5978643
I like some of their designs but overall I think the sets are too different from the show.

>>5978643
What is honestly the point of this and Ninjago co-existing?
It's pretty much the same "multi-colored guys in vehicles from a time period that shouldn't have them", only with knights instead of ninjas and the vehicles looking mostly uninspired.

>>5978643
Is that what your picture is? Can this be impulse bought at toysrus right tf now? Tell me more, please.

>>5978666
>Satan has spoken

But yea, anon has a point, they are pretty much the same only one is with magic ninjas the other with power armor wearing knights.

It's a moc. Closest thing is probably the King's Mech set.

>>5978665
Not to mention that the show doesn't even feature like half of the sets or the stuff seen in them.
No Infernox, no Moltor Basher thing, no 10$ sets, no Knighton soldiers, only like one or two Ash Warriors so far, no robo-horse bikes...
And don't get me started on all the cool creatures in that Book of Monsters that got ignored for that lame rock monster stuff next year.

>>5978666

Nexo Knights is Futuristic Sci-Fi with a Retro Fantasy style. There's nothing wrong with the time period.

>>5978675
The show did feature the transforming horse bike in a few episodes.

Bad news, brown/dark brown/tan are missing a lot of parts

>>5978776
You can always use blue and make a night scene.

>>5978779
Blue is just about as bad in some parts. It does depend on how good you want it to look. You could make a passable one with mostly slopes, tiles, and the new curve families in brown. But to really capture those details, you need more special parts.

If you're in LSD, go nuts. Never really found it appealing myself

Oh wow, that is really nice.

Podracing was the only genuinly cool thing that the prequels spawned. Had a stellar game based on it too that made the wise decision to ignore everything else in the movies.

>>5978398
Yeah it rolls nicely! The annoying part is that whenever i try to put it back on my higher shelves, it slowly tries to drive itself off of it if you're not careful.

LDD's been crashing on me whenever I try to save a screenshot in it. Any ideas on how to fix?

Eh, it's sort of a little bigger than "micro scale" but there definitely some minimalism in the design, in both the original and in custom sets.

His colors are very wrong, his shoulders are shitty, the cape is really heavy, his feet tend to just come off the socket piece, And the little action stand I made for him was so shitty and limited in usable poses that I didn't even bother to take pics of it, but at least he can turn his head and he can hold a couple cool poses [spoiler];_;[/spoiler]

There are a couple of ships on that list with trans-blue rings for engines - anyone know part name or anything for them? As far as Bricklink knows, the One Ring piece is only in Chrome Gold (of course).

Anyone know if they're the same thickness as the One Ring? Could they be used as a stud-to-stud SNOT connector?

The exterior dimensions might be different, but they can be used as a stud-to-stud SNOT connector.

What I like the most is that it uses an opening between the buildings. That way you can use it to make a small piazza behind it with a natural entrance. Makes it stand out from the rest of the modulars. I'm also going to be wanting more of those sideways frames in order to make some nice modern offices with loads of glass.

I'm probably getting it, but Parisian Restaurant and Detective's Office is still higher on the list as I'm missing both.

Got my shipment of bootlego minifig in, put Thor together to hang out with my legit Loki. Micro review:
- Came completely disassembled
- Pieces fit together snugly without feeling like they'll break
- Good friction at the joints
- Body print looks good
- Face print looks good, although the mouth is filled in with silver, not white, which is kind-of hilarious
- There's a little bit of clearance between the head and the hair piece. It still sticks to the stud like it's supposed to, it's just kind-of weird
- The hair piece also had a little sharp point of molding leftovers on it, easily removed with a thumbnail
- Mjolnir

The biplane here was the last Lego set I was allowed to get, and the only one from this theme I had. My Dark Age then went from then til whenever Atlantis and Prince of Persia came out. I really wanted that mummy and some rubies, but I'm glad Pharoah's Quest came out and they had better-printed ones. The Baron himself was such a cool character. I made sure to make up for the jewel by getting a ton of them via pick a brick.

Stickers are usually cut to have a 1.5mm border on the parts they're meant to be applied to. So start with one corner, slowly ease it down while checking the corner's edges for straightness and you'll be tanasinn

fuck, there's something so charming about lego when it was more blocky

i really like the rough blocky look
things didn't need to have specialized curves or bricks be accurate looking to be fun back then

>>5980600
I feel the late nineties to early 2000s, and specifically the Adventurers theme, was the perfect balance between blocky and smooth.

>>5980608
yea, same, it's my favorite lego era (not just because i was a kid then, didn't buy many sets at that age)
mid 2000's is easily the worst. that was when i really got into lego and i fucking hated most of the themes. i think the best set i ever got in that time was the little robots set that came with 3 robots.

i had an older cousin who had some older late 80's-early 2000's stuff and i found myself way more attracted to that stuff. used to look through his huge lego bin and finding old catalogs and instructions and wishing those sets were still in production

No need for razors or scrubbing, just peel as much of the sticker off as you can, then spritz the pieces with Simple Green and let it sit for a few minutes. The glue will come right off with no residue.

I'm nostalgic as fuck for the set that came in the Mummy canister. That's the only one I had as a little chillun. The rest do look pretty nice.

>>5979763
They're pretty fun sets that provide a generic background for making your own stories by giving you a framework of identifiable characters and locations to build off of.
Compare that to generic city stuff that is just cars and people doing mundane things.
I think modern sets have a similar problem of being too generic (city police stuff) or too specific (ninjago and nexo)

>>5980927
That's a good point. I'm a total lego noob (Started collecting Lego literally months ago after parting with Lego in my teenage years) and I feel like their over-diversifying in the late 90s/early 2000s probably has something to do with it. Bean counters are probably in charge of approving new themes nowadays.

>>5980869

Sticky tape can also lift the residue off, just keep dabbing with a strip until it's all gone.

Once ten people have entered or the contest deadline hits, the one that makes me laugh the most will win a free Spooky Girl!

DAMN son, that's a pretty decent facsimilie of the glyphs even if they don't necessarily look like them. I kinda want to figure out how I could make a big one spin and lock with Technic / PF / lightbricks.

When the first Droid Tri-Fighter sets came out, those stickers immediately screamed "STARGATE" to me. I had to buy two of them to do it lol.

And I know there's a huge powered Technic model out there; I'll see if I can find the link for it.

Here's a crummy purist Teal'c.

The B model on 42050 Drag Racer is a bit disappointing, although I guess it's hard to live up to the A model.

Nigga is you serious

The B model was the selling point for me (after the Tumbler tyres), and I thought the HoG nub was pretty nicely integrated as part of the engine. It could do with being a bit longer, but that's the only complaint.
