First for help...

This is my white whale lg. It's a custom set TLG made for Syd for his work on Blade runner. Now I've been trying for years to reverse engineer it but I suck at technic. That said there have been two know reverse engineerings. I have contacted the first and.. it didn't go anywhere.
http://www.djfood.org/syd-meads-lego-blade-runner-spinner-in-detail/


I recently learned about the second and I attempted to reach out but yahoo is a hot mess. (Does anyone know how to get in touch with a user from photostream? I don't yahoo)
https://www.flickr.com/photos/roninsfx/25811931811/in/photostream

So my question is this. Has anyone ever used a service to have a kit designed for them? I know a few exist. I am at a point where I am ready to pay for a set of instructions or digital file.

>>6081482
that second guy has like 6 pictures, I;m sure you can reverse engineer it from that

Nexo knights are now in LEGO Stores in Germany (at least most of the sets). No Ninjago though

With in inclusion of baby-boba, obiwan, an astromech that'll more than likely be R4, and a hyperspace ring, it's a safe assumprion that it'll be the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor from episode II. The set will probably look something along the lines of pic related. Assuming this list of leask is even real.

I think he probably misread the part count because of how things were ordered on the invoice. He already gave me positive feedback before I messaged him about this, though.

Got one of these dudes in a small box of Lego at a thrift store. He's radical but I wish he was just a *little* more poseable.

Also, I don't see how not wanting to lock Technic to a scale is a valid reason for not making more of these guys when there are plenty of System sets that aren't minifig-scale.

Here's the backstory for my Lego world that I had as a kid and developed as an adult when I'm bored daydreaming.

Blacktron I were originally just an very successful organised group of pirates that took over several systems outer systems (think mafia or Yakuza). They ended up being dismantled by the authoritarian and mass surveillance government faction called the Federation. Despite this, they had lasting impact from the criminal sophisticated network they started that led to other splinter pirate factions forming.

As Blacktron fell into memory, the authoritarian and corruption of the Federation grew and people began to question the authority. This led to the emergence of Blacktron II that took up a white suits to appear less intimidating to civilians. A massive war broke out between Blacktron II and Federation, resulting in both factions to fall.

The Federation was replaced with the Alliance which was less authoritarian and constructed from an agreed alliance between governments of various indepedant systems and planets, including some affiliated to Blacktron. Although this was an ideal arrangement for many, some remnant groups of ex-Blacktron members still lingered, who were more aligned with the principles of Blacktron I and opposed the Alliance. I haven't thought much about Blacktron III yet but their colour scheme is more black, lime green, trans lime green, dark bluish grey with bits of red.

Figure I might as well post my version of space backstory while we're posting them.

>Ancient Ruins were discovered on planet Krysto, a remote planet in the galaxy.
>The 2002 Investigation is launched, which has astronauts exploring and trying to figure out the old but strangely advanced technology of a seemingly long gone race.
>A large gate is discovered hidden away in ruins far away from where most of the other ruins are concentrated.
>Panic breaks loose after the portal suddenly activates and many ships fly through from the other side.
>Two highly advanced factions come through, Futuron and Blacktron II, with Futuron trying to escape.
>Futuron is on the run in the galaxy. Many peaceful factions have reached out to help them, but currently the Futuron survivors are still on the run from Blacktron II, who've apparently had something stolen from them by Futuron, along with having Spyrius and Blacktron I on both their tails, who are after their technology from the future.
>In the meantime, the Exploriens have come across planet Krysto in their search for their ancient and long lost home. Most of their past is a mystery to them and they are trying to figure out why, and they think they may be somehow linked to the ancient race that built the ruins, and the Ice Planet 2002 scientists are willing to help.

Posted this one a while back, but i've been experimenting with colours and prints.
While the duo-tone thing looks pretty good, i'm scouring bricklink now for more red printed pieces to spruce it up a bit with some more sponsors/numbers/stripes/raceyness.
It had a whale-tail with racey number on it, but the typefont ended up triggering my autism
Still not completely sold on the rear wheels tough. The wheelwells are a bit too big now, but i'm having trouble finding wheels that are bigger than the front ones but aren't TOO big AND don't look out of place paired with the front-tires.
I could add some rounded flared fenders to the rear wheelwells to make the wheels fit more snug bug it looks out of placed with the angular wheelwells in the front.


>>6082320
The way the minifig connects is really cool!
It looks pretty good but incredibly unstable if the front-end is just connected by the two studs of that bracket.
If those are two pieces of resistance, npu 2 u.

>>6082326

Man, thanks for reminding me, I need to order some of those printed Octan plates. They'd look awfully aesthetic on the white McLaren I have in the works.

>>6082284
I like the coloring here, anon. Having the thin, one-plate high stripe is something I need to try in my next vehicle MOC.

>>6082362
It's actually a really stable connection because the pieces around it hold it in place. It only comes apart easily if you twist it sideways.

ah yes, i didn't see how the angled joint brickalso keeps it from popping upwards when a minifig is on there.

>>6082407
yes,
if you're working at a table prepare to drop a lot of parts on the ground though. Sometimes i wonder if it's better for my back to sit at a table and having to search for parts underneath it or to just fuck it and do it on the ground like i used to.

>>6082127
Also redid most of the internals of this.
While everything is already pretty firmly locked into place, i just need to bricklink a 2studs longer plate to make it extra retard-proof. Also gave it the tires from the old beetle setup. The black rims look a lot better on it. But i've always liked the more no-nonsense pragmatic racing look, like turbine wheels covered in soot, so i say this for every car i've built.
Running out of these though and need to use more different ones for variety.

>>6082407
Maybe in moderation. God help you if you're trying to separate stacked 1x2 plates while tipsy, though.

>>6082423
I mean just enough to get a buzz going. I would drink beer but i wonder if anyone has hard liquored and legoed before

>>6082422
Have you tried giving this vehicle more of a forward rake, either with a wheel/tire size differential, or mounting the rear tires a plate lower?

I feel like a forward rake oftentimes looks really neat on these old-timey vehicles.

I actually keep tabs on your work anon. I get what you're trying to experiment with but it is pulling away from that minimal/compact boxy feel it had. The lower back though is an improvement, makes it look more balanced. I totally agree with the tyre change on the Yellow one, I think you can add even more character with some greebling detail on the trunk instead of having those two 2x4 slopes.

>>6082397
Don't mind seeing 8-wide trucks at all. Still got an Ultra Agents HQ that I need to disassemble into a transporter when I have the time.

>>6082458
That is too cute. I wish I could stock up on jumpers as 7 wide is a whole other world to me and I think I need to definitely go there to get a satisfactory ae86 build.

>>6082284
That is just dying to be remade as a 4-wide classic!

>>6082443
It already had a very slight forward rake but i tried some things out.

So i ended up lowering the fender by a plate with everything under it. (Just upping the ride-height in the rear will cause too big a gap between the fender and tire, causing you to see parts of the medium azure interior.)
This will keep the same gap between tire and fenderr. This looks pretty good! It does however create small but noticable crevices between the inverted yellow 1x2 slopes and the flared fenders.
The bigger problems are stability and scale:
In the old setup there are two 1wide plates going through the body and interior that connect with underneath the fenders and lock the axle pieces between them and the chassis. These then don't line up anymore, making the rear-section easy to flex apart with pressure. Secondly it makes the car a bit too big. I have this rough scale rule-of-thumb to prevent normal cars from becoming too large: The hood must be lower than the head of a minifigure standing next to it. But since the hood was already on the brink of being too high, figures can't look over it anymore. Lowering the front by placing the front axles higher would circumvent this autism entirely. But the hinges used for the tapered hood get in the way if you raise it by 1 plate, and raising the axle another plate will already cause the chassis to hit the ground.
I could still experiment with different wheels, but then i'll have the same problem of finding two sets of different tires that look good together.

I don't mind that much though, because the cars i was inspired by here https://youtu.be/6oZN8f11BT4 don't have that heavy rake either.

Cool man, that version didn't even have exhaust pipes!
I'm actually assembling parts to make another one. That way i can have one buggy/offroad style one more like it was before and a more pure tarmac racecar. I already have most parts needed in medium-blue too, but the limited amount of parts available in that colour and relative rarity is annoying(Especially when i know that 1 high doors don't even come in that colour yet) so now i'm going for a gray variant loosely based on pic related. (I always understood the significance of the beetles design, but it wasn't until i found this gnarly matchbox connectable and saw this beat up 50s one that i finally 'got' the design and came to love it).

The lower rear bumper aerodynamica looks good from the sides with the extra wide and low bodykit, but from the back it makes the car look too tall and narrow imo. I actually kinda like the big height of the rearbumpers old setup, makes it looked more organic and chopped for easier offroading

I've taken apart and rebuilt this thing so many times already. I don't even think i took pics of the gasser style dragrace mode i made with huge slicks in the back, jacked up suspension in the front and a quad exhaust setup.

It's funny you say that about the yellow convertible. I really like the sleek and clean look, but minfigures need to have very short hair for them to be able to lean back against the seat naturally (even the chearleader pigtails hair pushes the figure forward completely)
I thought about making the curve 1 stud shorter to allow for more room for the many figures with long flowy hair i have andmaybe a more detailed seat using snot brackets with tiles. But i'll have to order some parts for it.

Modulars are part of the Creator Expert line, which is the xbox-huge stuff that's less meant for play and more for display with a single extremely detailed build.

Toy & Grocery Shop, Corner Deli, the new Park Street Townhouse, etc. are part of the standard Creator 3-in-1 line, which includes everything from minifig-scale small buildings to separate scale vehicles to the massive fuck-you RV that is Vacation Getaways. Each year there's one or two 3-in-1s that are semi-detailed cityscape buildings, kind of like Mini-Modulars in a sense.

They're a great way to get back into Lego without spending tons of cash and the Corner Deli brought me out of my dark ages by itself.

Just found all the Lego batman movie sets at Toysrus, bought arkham, riddler racer,clayface, and killer croc tail gator.

I love setting up an apocalyptic and filling my cafe corner and green grocers with raiders and shit.

Modulars have some of the best play value there is, even if they're mainly designed to look pretty.

>>6083293
I meant more in the eyes of Lego, hence the lack of extra builds, advanced building methods and lack of unique minifig faces.

Kids don't know about raiders and post-apoc, they only know the fresh hell that is police, firefighters and coffee cups.

Also the arkham asylum is 180 not 150

>>6083819
If you don't care about what's BEHIND it, you might be able to make the gap a bit smaller- use recessed headlight bricks facing upwards instead of a 1x2 with studs on both sides to narrow the gap, then use the 1x2 tiles with O-ring attachments turned sideways for a quick 180 turn.

The tiles might not make room for the headlight bricks, though. Fuck.

I do the same adding stuff in daydreams right now. Back in the day, Futuron was the first successful space mission to build a colony on the moon. Ice Planet, Blacktron 2, and Space Police were all good guys who were harassed by Spyrius. Unitron was able to match their powerful robots since they were the best trained, and they kept Spyrius in check for a while as the Exploriens searched the furthest reaches of uncharted space, finding signs of alien life. It was an exciting time as all good guy factions joined as an Allied Space Force. I lost my Futurons by that point, so they never made it past the moon, but Launch Command came out around then, so perhaps the colony failed and regular NASA expeditions were being made. Meanwhile, in deep space, alien contact was imminent. Even Spyrius didn't want to mess with UFO when they saw their more advanced saucers. The commander of Blacktron I returned and attacked the meeting, igniting a hatred for all humans. They wiped nearly everyone out on the Exploriens' outpost and then attacked earth, where ordinary town citizens and the remaining spacemen won, sending UFO back into space where they warred with the Insectoids. Earth had to rebuild and space missions were all but cancelled. Galaxy Squad showed hope though as the moon colony was being rebuilt, with a new Space Police 3 protecting it. By then, more friendly aliens had been discovered and were living peacefully on the moon, with only minor crimes occurring. Blacktron was making a return in the shadows as the real hand behind SP3, going a more authoritarian route. It's only a matter of time before they swoop in posing as heroes. Back in deep space, Galaxy Squad has found the planet where Knighton is located. Little do they know some lava monsters have stowed on board their ships.

The Mars stuff was during my dark age, haha. Who knows what might have happened. Peaceful interaction at first, but then a rogue element with those second wave Martians? Maybe Blacktron would try to enslave them and that would cause them to strike back?

>>6083882
absolutely rude

>>6083955
I think it'd be even worse if they were like that. As someone who likes to include frontal steering/suspension in my builds, the brick used on the rounded fenders takes up too much space as is.

I suppose the 2x2 plate isn't /too/ bad, but when working with certain features or at a certain scale it can be too much of a hinderance.

>only taking an hour or two to put together a big set
I build so fucking slowly it takes me multiple sessions to build a set and it feels good.

>>6084115
You misunderstand, I put an hour or two a night into a big set that might take me 15+ hours to build.

>>6084121
Oh. You're alright, then.

Never understood people who speedbuild stuff. I don't have the budget for that so I have to make my plasticrack last longer!

I bought my gf this set for Christmas. She watches the show a lot and really liked the Lego Harry Potter castle I bought her as a graduation gift from pharmacy school. Is it a good set?

>>6084278
>TBBT
>Good
Sorry anon

>>6084278
>a tan box with some minifigs
no, and your gf probably sucked dick to get through school because there's no way she's intelligent and watches that shite

>>6084278
>An official BAZINGA Lego set
2016 has been a most interesting year.

>>6084286
Pretty sure this set was late 2015

>>6084278
Lame set but has good pieces.
She will enjoy it because who dont want to have Favorite characters inLEGO form!

>>6084278
Sorry dude, but I have to agree with the rest of /lg/ here (even if a majority hate me), "BAZOOPER: the licensed set" is a shit gift for a shit mentality.

Now, if they had done "SPACEBALLS: THE LEGO SET!", that would have been infinitely more clever.

I wont even buy a chink knockoff of said set.

Good pieces or not, gotta have some integrity.

I know the show is awful but I won't knock her for liking it because she's a normie and she stopped criticizing me as a grown man that collects toys, and now even likes them. I just want to make her happy.

>>6084306
>happy

then get her a set that actually makes her think and be truly creative. Get her a creator 3 in 1 or a modular if ya want to truly impress.

>>6084306
get her Wall-E
everybody loves Wall-E and the set is great

Funny you should mention that. There's a really nice Eagle 5 being reviewed right now on Ideas.

I'm really, really hoping that they choose that. I would buy 10 instantly.

As much of a meme it is to hate it, there isn't much to hate. They give you a few solid builds and a good amount of detail. If you had to hate something I'd go with hating the price. Shy of 500 parts and hitting $60 bucks is only ok for Star Wars.

>>6084278

Don't listen to the cucks anon. Got that set for my wife and she LOVED it. I on the other hand can't stand it, or the show. But hey you're right it's about what makes her happy

>>6084278
This is my favorite set of the year because of all the drama it causes. I can't stand the show but I love seeing people get triggered whenever someone posts it.

Ep. II is the redheaded stepchild of the franchise. We got the original wave in 2002-03, then a remake wave in 2012? 13? and then pretty much nothing. Part of it is that some of the designs were reused in the early CW Episodes. But we still haven't gotten Jango's Slave I or a Delta-7.

Idk I kind of like it's bulkiness. Not many transport ships out there. I'm rebuilding the engines and cargohold now. Not a fan of how small the cockpit is though. Also, anyone know what brick separators are worth? I have 42 of them now

I think it's a pretty cool diorama with neat and usefull parts for creating interiors. (not sure if she's into lego otherwise though so the latter might not matter) I don't understand the appeal of Bazilicum though, but if she likes the show it'll be fine.

>>6083767
Not sure what i consider the latest, but i bought a speedchampions Audi endurence/lemans style racecar (mostly for some parts and to get the edge off from the exams i just finished).
I also just got the Beatles Yellow submarine set in the mail wich i'm gonna give to my aunt as a present.
>tfw i checked bricklink to see if a 1x4 plate with two studs on sides exists in yellow
>it only comes in the Yellow Submarine i already bought but was supposed to be a present for my aunt
fuck

>>6083955
I usually don't like 4wide cockpits in cars but that one looks really neat.

>>6084759
>>6084765
I'm pretty sure that most of those are kids who don't have any big sets that come with separators, and the parents who don't know any better.

>>6083767
Last three sets I bought were Fortrex, ultimate Magmar and Deathtrooper ultrabuild as a Christmas present for a friend.

All 3 were 30% off so naturally I jumped into it.

>>6084776
>>6084759

I should go to lego stores and make it rain brick separators on those kids

The instructions of the Nexo Knights armors seem to have some silhouettes of the knight's summer vehicles.

Looks like Axl will get a mechanical bull bike thing, Aaron a car and Macy whatever the fuck that's supposed to be.

>>6083966
Man, Mars Mission was so disappointing. I was excited when it came out because I was a fan of Life on Mars but I hated the new martians. The total lack of useful articulation and the fact that their arms were just pinned to their sides instead of out in an action pose officially made them the worst minifigures in my collection. Hell, even the Bionicle micro-hordika were color coded and could hold weapons.

>>6084896
>whatever the fuck that's supposed to be.
Looks sorta like it's gonna be a lizard with a mace tail.
Or a dragon.

>>6084896
Speaking of the armors:
Is there a reason why Clay's comes with a spare trans-orange blade?
Seems extremely odd that they toss in one of those as extra.

>>6084934
Piece is probably too light to reliably trip the weight sensor. That's why you get extras of some pieces.

>>6084940
It's one of the largest and heaviest pieces in the set, though, and all the reviewers so far also had an extra one.

>>6083767
not really a set per'se
but banana man and babysitter blind bags
along with a hotwheels "tankinator" ride on

only the first person you quoted was being an asshole. The rest were pretty reasonable in explaining why they thought he shouldn't get it. Stop being so oversensitive and grow a pair.

>>6085066
Not that anon, but "shit gift for a shit mentality" seems a little harsh.

>>6085069
Not when you're talking about the big bang theory
Its damn generous

>>6084895
Okay so if you're trying to convey that they're wearing fishnets wouldn't it make sense to use yellow legs with a white pelvis, instead of just printing the yellow skin over white legs? Also those entire leg prints are god awful, especially with the huge black blocks on the edges. The fact that the sides of the legs aren't printed as well doesn't help at all. God damn Brickwarriors 2/10, apply yourself.

Recently got back into lego, is there usually boxing day/week deals at certain retailers or not really?

>>6085125
No idea about boxing day. Usually stores that haven't sold out of stuff for Christmas need to clear space for 2017 sets. So, the first few weeks of January tend to have a few sales and clearances on Lego. Just pay attention and share anything you find.
