Thinking about picking up a UCS Slave I. Is it worth the price? It looks impressive in pictures but not sure how it would be in person.

How am I supposed to decide what gets axed

Am I looking at this correctly, can you buy three of the Corner Deli, make all three of the different builds, and then join them together to make a little city block?

>>6092027
Eh, each section is a little wimpy if you do it like that
But if you do it and it looks mediocre you can just combine them. The set is a good assortment of parts

>>6092437
Most of the Mixels are a good start for creature of robot builds, what with the versatile joints that many of the sets share.

The theme-based colors and accessories of 2016's Mixels also lend themselves to a bit of genre building, such as the swashbuckling bits that you can find in the Pyrratz.

In what regard would exo-force have been a mistake? Granted, the human minifig characters faces were a tad odd, but certainly not the worst looking minifigs lego has produced (The clone wars minifigs are infinitely worse). In terms of sets they were all pretty great. The only weak sets were the human bases.

Back in the 80s a bunch of independent comic book publishers got the rights to publish manga titles in the US. For some bizarre reason, instead of just translating them, they commissioned new stories and new art that half-assedly tried to copy the original style of the manga.


...my point is that's what Exo-Force's art reminds me of.

Yes. No official confirmation on why, but most suspect it's because the line didn't sell as well as TLG thought it would.

It was deeply distressing for the fandom that the line never even got to complete the standard 3-year run that "big deal" playthemes are supposed to have.

It's thematically barely different from ninjago or nexo knights. Why does this company not care about a line that helped save them from financial doom?

Look at the lazy artist they hired to draw the g2 comics. The badly assembled DVD for the netflix show that has assets from the last bionicle series in 2010 on it. They didn't care.

Lego has more confidence in selling Nexo powers than mask packs apparently. Oh Bionicle was ok, but we want that star wars money~ They said there would be three years but cut it off at two. No real explaination. They don't make these kind of decisions usually off the cuff, why decide halfway through the first year that you want it cancelled? Lego didn't even give it a fucking chance.

that shit worked incredibly well

>>6092807
>>6092812

A lot of people also suspect the Star Wars figs being a reason.
Let's be honest: your local stores are probably choke full with Lukes, Finns, Obi Wans, Poes and soon Donnies and Bazes because no one buys those overpriced fuckers that also never seem to go on sale, either.
And yet they still shit out more and more of them while Bionicle gets axed because it supposedly didn't sell well?
You can't tell me something isn't fishy here.
They're also probably easier to design, too, since you don't need to design new characters yourself nor do you have to include some unique features into them.
Just add the same fucking spring-loaded gun and gearbox into every set and be done with it.

>>6092764
It's a portmanteau of "ninja" and "Lego".

>>6092867
Is that confirmed or a (sensible) assumption?

I always thought it started out as a catchphrase the ninjas yell before using their spinjitzu powers (like "autobots, roll out") and became the name of the franchise.

>>6092819
Had they not whored out a large hunk of their budget into convention masks and 8 solid gold masks, put just a smidge more effort in the advertising, and focused more on the new kids instead of having almost all the contests associated with the theme be for afols, it might've lasted.

And they made the decision more around the end of year one and just shat out year two after the fact, so really, they didn't give it a chance.

I don't care as much because it was Bionicle, but just because they seem to be running Constration as a whole into the ground.

Part of me kinda regrets that Chima happened during my dark ages.

Well, technically it was wrapping up by the time I came back, but it just didn't appeal to me. I couldn't even tell the difference between Chima or Ninjago for the longest time if I only saw the builds without minifigs.

>>6093165
Yeah the builds were for the most part uninteresting, the only sets I actually bought were a few of the fig packs and most of the Legend Beasts, bricklink'ed the rest of my figs. It was still better than Nexo at least, nothing from that is interesting.

Nice projection.

I've never seen the trailers for Rogue One, but for what it's worth I thought it was better than Episode VII
Not at all flawless, but it was at least its own story that wasn't just Episode IV again and it did a bunch of stuff that wasn't in a Star Wars movie before and was interesting to see.
Not that I hated Episode VII either, I thought it had interesting ideas and I look forward to the next two expanding on them after they finished winning back/pandering to the fans after the prequels

Also these Triangulator pieces are cool.

>>6093783
I'd give a salty rant here, but instead I'm gonna ask this, is there like a little guide that tells what do those power ups supposed to do? The medicine symbol one is obvious but what about the rest?

I'd get one if it actually came with the Classic Space shield; as it is, looks pretty useless.

Yes. Merlok 2.0 lets you play as the five knights, and scanning Nexo Powers from sets, the TV show, or elsewhere gives your knight various powerups.

You don't need to buy anything to play (hell, you can scan the powers from the pictures I take), but I like having the shield pieces.

Scanning powers into Merlok 2.0 gives you their names and a little image showing what they do. Using them in a level actually shows you a little animation in the battlefield, and the actual in-game effects depend on the power.

And I do wish we got some G2 mask packs. Wasted oppurtunity.

Your picture is a pretty bad example, and only seems to use CCBS in the limbs. Also, the fact that I can't critisize CCBS without someone bringing up the autistic argument of "you don't have any imagination" is old and simply not true. I never said I couldn't MOC with CCBS, plenty of people can do that and make the system work just fine. I'd even go so far to say that the system is pretty good for MOCing.

However, the way Lego was using the system was atrocious. Pretty much every G2 needed some kind of modification to make it not shit, and I didn't feel like I needed to do that all the time in G1. Akida, UtD, and some of the beasts were pretty good, but the vast majority were just some shitty variation of "attach the same shell pieces to the same skeleton". Or just forget about shell pieces and make the villains skeletons. The Makuta combiner was also an absolutely fantastic set that didn't follow the shitty skeleton base that CCBS wants to use.

It's not really surprising why the sets didn't sell.

>>6094852
Agreed

>>6094852
If they were gifts you are right. I had assumed these people went out and bought after Christmas clearance.

>>6094861
yeah thats what i thought people meant by christmas haul too

>>6094852
Why are you assuming that's what this is? I doubt anyone here is young enough to be showered with bricks like that for Christmas

>>6094852
See >>6094861

He is right, these are obviously bought, otherwise they wouldn't be a haul.

>>6094843
Yes.

Olay, so the new dinosaur creator set is a 4in1, but still advertised and branded as a 3in1.

Why?

>>6094945
I believe it's because these flying things technically aren't dinosaurs, but I could be mistaken.

>>6094945
>>6094951
Maybe because you can only build three of them at time? Is that how this works?

>>6094945
Wait what? Jang said nothing about this! ;o

>>6094776
Please post Macy with Barbaras hair!

I had difficulty finding some on bricklink, would you happen to know a part number?

>>6094776
Is Babs's ballistic vest the same piece as the CMF Tom Cruise vest?

>>6095006
>I had difficulty finding some on bricklink, would you happen to know a part number?

I have some 1x2 trans-red, trans-yellow, and trans-dark blue bricks without tubes that are not frosted. I also have some 2x4 trans-clear bricks that (I think) aren't frosted.

I can take some pictures later today of exactly what I've got for smooth transbricks.

>tfw you spy a lego box in the "valuabe items" case at the thrift store but decide to pass on it because someone with less lego than you might buy it

Didn't even bother to get close. Looked like a City box.

GOD don't even get me started on this.
We have a fuckload in our backroom, i seriously feel they're never gonna sell, and we'll have to damage them all out.
Nobody wants this set. I'm serious.
Its priced for adults, but they don't care about Ninjago, and kids can't afford it.
Never expect to see a D2C set for a non-licensed theme again because of how badly this is selling.

pic related to prove I'm that employee who posts on here occasionally

I keep seeing collections in the auction case at Goodwill but they always go for more than i'm willing to pay for used bricks

damn that wasn't employee only? Is that a lego store exclusive?

I'd buy it if I had the money.

Anyone need a Scooby-Doo mini fig? Still in package. I have 12 haha. Free to someone who will use it and not a hoarding neet

>>6095098

I could use one. I missed out on the Mystery Machine..

Maybe a good old contest/give away would be also fun (to get some more original content).

update

>>6095019
Also there are now 2x3 tiles

>>6095110
Looks really cute

I love how you did the feet

>>6095079
Turd-party isn't heresy. It's just distasteful.

>>6095098
I could use one to heresy the spots off and use it for something else.

>Maybe a good old contest/give away would be also fun (to get some more original content).
I agree with this anon

>>6095098
Anon, please post a better photo of that pipey thing on the right. It ain't LEGO, right?

>>6095146

Thanks, the feet were literally a shower thought

>>6095096
instead of buying 3-4 smaller sets, buy the goddamn temple, anon.

>>6095159
To my knowledge those are pipes from the megabloks TMNT sets

>>6093955

I must correct myself: The Oh My Goddess animoo aired in 1993, but the moongoo began in '88.

That would explain the eyebrows in the early OMG moongoo. It actually was from the 80's (not just 80's style) where fearsome eyebrows were in style.

I have to buy Pirates of the Disney to get that? It's a set over 50 dollars isn't it? Do the minifigs re-sell well?
