Very interesting review.
Personaly I somewhat don't agree with
>When I give kids BIONICLE, it’s like instant gratification. You pop on a head, and you don't even need an arm, you already have a figure you can play with and run around with, especially some of the smaller kids.
You can do this with system as well. Heck I remember I had snake people tribe when I was like 4 who was made with head and 1x6 tile.
>>6097883
Also instant gratification good only for 1-3 years
>>6097883
Cool, glad someone posted, just realized not only did I fuck up by not linbking last thread and last bonkle thread, but put the fucking title in the name field......
Sorry guys, I fucked up....I tried.
>>6097888
It's ok, we all fail sometimes. You will do better later!
>>6097892
Thanks man. Only ever made two other /lg/s, both during the day and while sober....like 8 months ago.
bonkles are shit and should never have been revived in the first place
>>6097899
All themes are good because they privide us new pieces.
>>6097899
Okay.
I got a new project over the holidays, but construction has suffered some... delays.
Why haven't they added any nostalgiabait lego themes to Dimensions yet? If they made a Rock Raiders or Lego Island level pack it'd bring in a whole other demographic
>>6097909
The same reason only original IPs on Dimensions right now are Chima, Ninjago and Movie. Adult collectors don't care about Lego originals because they're not cool licensed characters and kids don't care because they were before their time.
And nostalgia alone isn't enough to sell stuff. Most recent example being Bonkle.
>>6097899
Yeah, well, John Nekrogoblikon says
YOURE SHIT and should have been swallowed.
All themes lead to parts, and parts lead to more builds and creativity.
Win/Win if you ask me.
what's with this 'parts' meme?
Lego is for building exactly what's on the instructions and then placing it on your desk or shelf to remind you of when you were a child and allowed to have fun
I spend a day building this.
I love those cute robots.
Also Elves is a good theme and Ragana is nice waifig. (Not better than Toxikita obviously)

WTF
>>6097931
Also this
>>6097931
No worse than Flogging Molly/Dropkick Murphys Batman.
>>6097920
The Shadowcastle is a great set. It's almost crazy how good it is and the new Frozen castle is shit.
Only mod I did was move her throne from above the dungeon to the top of the main tower, and moved the egg to the dungeon trap as bait.
>>6097931
I want this so mu...
>It's a keyring
Nevermind.
>>6097937
That's actualy a good idea!
I agree it's one of the best castles Lego ever done.
Building the cinema, lalala!
And with better photos of elves we can see the "castle" of the Goblin King!
Also neat set.
>>6097959
Neat
Where can i see the other official pictures?
>>6097959
>Also neat set.
I'ts literally Ninjago for girls
>>6097973
I like how Elves one has more deck space.
>>6097931
holy shit i want this. Where i can get one?
Will this be available in Europe during february?
>>6097979
Does collecting dragons make you bag guys? Ninjago has been doing that for a long time and they still are the good guys.
>>6097979
Please keep your sick elf memes on /tg/
>>6098005
You say that, but lego elves ad itself shown that they are greedy, treacherous, and have no respect for traditions and deals signed lawfully
Is /toy/ interested in lego firearms and stuff? had an idea for a full auto lego brick gun that doesn't require you to recock every little rubber band (ie put another magazine in and go)
i'll tell if theres some interest
>>6097932
Where can I find this masterpiece?
>>6098055
We don't know yet. Rest assured it will be something that will be a pain in the ass for at least some part of the world to acquire.
Remember when lego never painted details on the sides of minifig arms and legs?
>>6098067
Personaly I think that's overdesigning.
Never owned a Batcave before. I love this set. The Batman Returns Duck vehicle is perfect. Added the dinosaur and kryptonite for posterity.
>>6098069
I think it's justified in cases like a minifig with shorts
>>6098053
Sure but fuck off with your reddit infographics
>>6098070
damn i so want that cave because of duck-car and penguins. But really dont want the rest
Once I realized this set is trying to evoke Rat Fink, I had to have it.
These Lego Batman Movie sets are great.
Accidentally posted in old thread:
Best way to acquire "regular" bricks in bulk? Is it easiest to purchase those bins they sell at target and the like? I would rather buy off bricklink but I don't want to hand pick every single one when I just want a large assortment.
>>6098076
yeah probably getting this too.
1) penguin's arctic roller
2) rat fink gator
these two are Must Have 2017 for me.
>>6098088
Could try Craigslist/yard sales. Catching a lucky break on eBay isn't out of the realm of possibility, either.
>>6098070
Now you just need a giant penny.
>>6098088
I've seen custom listings for bricks by the pound on bricklink. You can also try finding the local Lego store and doing pick a brick wall.
I'm so into you, I can barely breathe

You know the helmet and the head are the only pieces that aren't regular minifig parts, right
You can just remove those parts and replace them with a regular head and cowl.

I Agree with Jang that this batcave is very medicore and It feels unfinished. Glad somone like it!

Idk i just want some lego daddy fuckbuddy.
I guess i'd fuck BrickTsar in a gay bar but will be married/go to vocation/die together with Jangbricks.

Monthly superprezent report
So I'm after some Classic Space style minifigs (mostly torsos, I don't mind different helmets and the like), but most of the proper classic ones around nowadays are incredibly worn, yet I see recent pictures with Classic Space logos looking pristine. Was there any reproductions, or are there sticker sheets for minfig torsos available?
>>6098294
I wasn't aware Canada had the technology to make an adimantium exo-skeleton
>>6098296
Inthink there was a reproduction of one colour in some set exclusive to lego parks.
I have some good ones which i bought in person at a lego convention.
The ones you see online might also be "restored" with photoshop
>>6098296
There's still a good amount of originals in great condition floating around. I've got three blue ones that are pretty much perfect. They're not too pricy on bricklink either.
>>6098292
>Windshield looks to small
That's the style for those, it seems. All his others have the tiny windshield.
>>6098294

China needs to hurry up and make bootleg Darkclaw minifigs.

>So I'm after some Classic Space style minifigs (mostly torsos, I don't mind different helmets and the like), but most of the proper classic ones around nowadays are incredibly worn, yet I see recent pictures with Classic Space logos looking pristine.
I have a few from the late '70s-early '80s with mint-looking prints. The type of printing depended on the color of the torso - the red and white spacemen typically have the most-worn printing, and the blue and yellow torsos typically have the least wear. A while ago I took a picture of all my CS torsos that illustrates this, and somebody else posted their own collection that showed the same.
I can take another picture of mine later today if you want to see what I'm talking about.
>>6098064
It at least looks somewhat easy to reverse engineer.
Do you guys ever make little gifts for a significant other, relative, a friend etc.?
>>6097899
anon, I never liked Bionicle.
I only bought some little plastic bag set for 2 euro because it had 2 old ninja katana's.
But Bionicle was one of the lines that got Lego through the early zero's.
If not, Lego wasn't existing anymore or taken over by Hasbro/Mattel/any shit chinese company.

Out of curiosity, how much did you have to pay for it? Retired UCS sets don't come cheap
>>6098699
>0.000000000001% chance
Are you retarded? There's zero chance, there's not an incredibly slim chance. There's just zero.
JoJo is one of the things that lego would instantly and always reject on the basis of how violent and child unfriendly it is.

These posts keep reminding me that I will NEVER have my own Café Corner. I was eyeballing it when it was still being sold, but alas, never felt like blowing 150€+ on a single Lego set. The prices right now are insane, and even parting it out would cost an arm and a leg because some of the parts are ridiculous on BL.
Maybe one day, but it's not today.
>>6098711
>JoJo is one of the things that lego would instantly and always reject on the basis of how violent and child unfriendly it is.
Not to mention how FABULOUS it is
>>6098711
Are there any anime series that have even the slightest chance? Only ones I can truly think of are moeshit series such as K-On.
>>6098727
The only anime series that I think has even the lightest chance is pokemon, and that would take a dramatic shift in Nintendo's philosophy.
>>6098729
There'll be a Pokémon Story pack for Dimensions next year.
>>6098699
I'm so fucking tired of Jojo.

Guy who found that Scuttler last thread; got back home and put it together this morning. I apologize for my terrible photo skills.
Some notes, I guess:
>New parts (AFAIK, at least) include 2 of the corner-SNOT pieces from Assembly Square and a 2x4 plate with a pair of holes hanging from underneath.
>Plenty of 2x2 plates with studs on the side throughout, with 8 in the head alone.
>Back uses a trans-black cockpit piece. It's probably already known, but I was surprised to see it.
>Finished model is fairly heavy.
>Minifigs are great, though Joker's cape keeps knocking him over.
Overall, it's a good set; get it when you can.
>>6098791
And here's Macy with Barbara's hair, for the guy who asked.

Protip: trolls enjoy seeing people reply to their posts
>>6098701
I got it from the UK (being a yuropoor that is) and it was 220 GBP plus postage. Considering that its UK RRP was 170 GBP I think it's an okay price. Also, it was only a bit more expensive than used sets on BrickLink.

I rebuild and are complete:

Good thing Lego spent a billion dollars figuring out that little girls prefer minidolls and your opinions are worth practically nothing to them.

>FUck these sets would be so much better if they used real minifigs instead of this Polly Pocket nonsense.
If only the sets were modular and compatible enough to replace them with standard minifigs. GG Lego.
>>6098866
I can't tell if you're making fun of me or not because I haven't bought one of the Elve sets
>>6098869
You should. They're pretty fun sets. I can honestly recommend Ragana's Shadow Castle.
And if you don't like the minifigs, just swap them out with normal minifigs.
>>6098864
I just repaired my Detective's Office this week. It's been sitting around with a broken barbershop for the last eight months since I stupidly picked it up by the second story.

>Luke skywalker mouse and 2nd deathstar mousetrap
I got the joke of the "its a trap" but not because of the picture but just because its a mousetrap.
whoever made that really is stupid.
luke wasnt even in that fight for the whole "its a trap thing". he was busy fighting vader and shit inside it
and if it isnt luke and just a random rebel pilot #5489 then why bother with them
is it implying that the trap for for luke/random rebel pilot?
why not just use Akbar?
these hipster jokes dont make any sense to me
>>6099142
I don't think it's supposed to be deeper than "It's a trap", because it's a Rebel mouse and the Death Star II on a mousetrap.
It was a birthday present from my family.
>>6099112
Textured bricks are not even a new thing
How is the LEGO Batman Movie Joker car set? Anyone have it? Worth grabbing?

>just the front wall of the krusty krab

I finally cracked and bought a sealed Tyridium shuttle on eBay for £80. I might sell the minifigs though to make some of my money back but still can't help but feel I've paid over the odds (although some are going for £95+)
Are any of the current star wars ships worth it?
I feel like the Y-Wing might be, but I dunno, I don't like the brown greebles
the U wing looks like shit and Krennic's shuttle has so much exposed light grey
I want a new tie bomber
>>6099186
The U Wing's color scheme is unfortunate. The Y wing does look very nice, and I barely see any LG on my Krennic's Shuttle. Do you mean on the bottom sides of the wings? Other than that it's almost solid black.
>>6099186
Krennic's is the best, looks pretty black to me but if it really bothers you it wouldn't take too much to swap out some of the light grey parts for black.
The U-Wing is a real let down, got one for Christmas and aside from the Teddy Bear minifig it's pretty shit (also too many stickers reeeeeeee)
>>6099150
Although it looks cooler when the wheels are angled so it's in flight mode.
>>6099190

BUT IT WONT FAGGOT
Some of you might remember me blogposting about how the Poolside Paradise I got for Christmas had a backwards door. I messaged the seller right after I realized it, but I figured it would be too late since I ordered it back in mid-November and had already marked the order as completed/ positive feedback. Happy surprise to come home today and find a slim padded envelope with the correct door in it, so a big shout-out to In-2-Bricks for being awesome.
>>6099344
nice.
always awesome to hear who the good sellers are. Wheres he based, america or....?
Also, thanks guys for using the thread I made even though I fucked up the OP. Glad I could be of help.
>>6099354
USA, yeah
>>6099363
Cool, ill add him to my list and throw him some business then!
Why do all Lego vidbloggers have autism?
>>6099365
Anybody who talks about Lego sounds autistic
>>6099365
because nobody without autism would make the life choices leading up to the decision to become a lego vidblogger
>>6099369
Why can't people just buy a lego set every now and then and review it instead of buying a trillion fucking sets and talking like a retard that likes everything about it?
>>6099370
because only one of those two options is suitable for youtube's visibility algorithms
There is a need for good Lego reviewers. They're either reddit/FB tier idiots or autistic, and sometimes they're creepy old guys.
In a video I just want to see someone
>show what's in the box
>show significant building information
>maybe give some commentary on that if it's necessary
>show the finished build and all it's functions
>give size references
>preferably there is no audio other than some stock music
how hard is this
and articles need to talk about the set, not their personal experience with the set
>>6099381
but would kids watch those videos?
>>6099388
>all videos should exist to make profit and ad revenue
I can tell you for a fact that I'd prefer to make those kinds of videos over actually going out and talking to people.
>>6099388
I hate that this is what YouTube has become
>>6099391
>>6099393
But it would make no money, meaning it was a waste of money, and thus; no matter what, unless it makes the dough, it ain't happening
I don't like it either, but that's life
>>6099397
How old are you? Do you realize that YouTube was meant for regular people to post video and share shit with community? It wasn't meant to be television-lite.
>>6099397
Making lego reviews would be my form of social interaction though, so it wouldn't be too bad.
I feel so fucking creatively stifled lately. I really want to make stop motion LEGO/Legoquests but I can't be assed to set up a good display,
>>6099400
>YouTube was meant for regular people to post video
Originally, yes. But Google is in business to make money, so when they bought it, it became a money-making asset. Unfortunately.
>>6099400
It is now, and you just have to accept it, anon
It isn't 2006 anymore
>>6099409
>>6099410
No I don't? I posted a video not that long ago. Not everyone on there is trying to make money. Lego reviewers can't even make money doing that. You need to get at least 100,000+ views and post multiple times a week to turn that into any sort of revenue stream. There's no reason why someone isn't posting decent reviews. It's just a matter of someone actually doing it.
The real problem is most decent people have jobs, lives, and pre-existing hobbies. Making videos is a hobby in and of itself.
Vid related is an example of a good lego review

I really missed out on not getting the Medusa minifig when I had the chance
>>6099186
I've got the Y-wing, it's real nice. Always preferred the design of it over the X-wing.
There's only 6 brown bits on the craft, 4 3block long tubes and 2 of those tube/antenna things on the neck behind the cockpit.
If you really didn't like them you could forego them when building it, the clip blocks add enough texture to the area as is.

When do you have time to build lego if you're a well functioning adult with a job and responsibilities?
>>6099724
Between the hours of 6:00-11:30 p.m. weeknights, slightly later on the weekend.

I love these 2 modular sets so much. Its my the most favorite lego building ever. I know there are bigger and better modulars but they are way too big and not so easy to customize and open (you have to take every building level to see whats inside) unlike these 2.

Heres a link to a generic search, but any combo of "PUNISHER", "THE PUNISHER", "LEGO", "MINIFIGURE", etc. should work, just look around and youll find him for anywhere between 40 cents to $1 for just the figure. Also generally figs made by POGO, SY, sometimes DECOOL etc are the good quality ones.

>1980s Lego sets
Other than the red wheels with the metal axles, all of the elements in use back then are still in use today. You just gotta spend more effort on the imitation mocs.
>>6100021
But anon, The Feminist watchdog group of the US government and CNN told me that was sexist!
They even threatened death to the artist for it!
>>6100059
Availablility of elements doesn't matter, they can even just make red wheel hubs and no-one will really care as long as the sets look the part. The chance of Lego doing 80s style sets again is slim however, as much as I'd like to see a more permanent "Legends" type line.

You wouldn't really know much about it even if you were, the phantom zone is a Superman thing.

Update on that bookshop I've been working on.
Tried to take the advice of those that posted in response to it.
Everything is obviously super WIP status...
But what do you think of the updates?
I was a big fan of whoever's idea it was to add fines all along the facade, so that's why there's a few SNOTs on the side of the planter, with the intention of sprinkling more throughout the front.
I just don't have any vines on hand, currently.
So, thoughts? Input? Criticism? Etc?
best new part of 2016?
I nominate the Nexo Knights shield plate.
>>6100701
What catches my eye the most are two things. -From a structural perspective it doesn't really make sense for the gray structures at the sides of your building to become bigger and heavier towards the higher altitudes, and thinner and less likely to be able to hold the weight of the upper floors towards the bottom of the building.
If you want to go for a tapered effect, it would probably make more sense to switch it around so it's heavier/wider/stronger at the bottom to carry the upper floors and thinner and lighter every floor on top of it.
-The second thing is the general inconsistency in style from floor to floor. Not only do the gray structural elements change per floor a bit, but all the windows do not only have different frames but different size, aspect ratio and placement as well.
It might be a good idea to just take the elements from each floor you like and make different sketches thateach follow the style of one of them through from top to bottom.

Kill la Kill might be fairly popular, but I don't think you'll get this any time soon.
>>6100890
Thinking about it, I don't think there's ever been a case where putting anime/cartoon stylized eyes on a standard lego minifigure ever looked good. It always ends up looking weird and completely disjointed from the usual simplified minifig appearance.
>>6100909
Literally never. Not an official lego one, at least. KlK is way to far from 'kid-friendly' to ever be approved as an acceptable licence by lego's standards.
>>6100915
>Thinking about it, I don't think there's ever been a case where putting anime/cartoon stylized eyes on a standard lego minifigure ever looked good.
>>6100915
That I figured, I was thinking along the lines of custom minifig makers, don't think they'd get around it anytime soon.
>>6100920
Is that this One Punch Man I've heard so much about?
>>6100922
Honestly if bootleg companies were ever gonna make figures for kill la kill it probably would have happened already, back when the show was at its peak popularity. Your best chance of getting one now would have to be commissioning a custom figure maker.
there is literally nothing wrong with minifig heads that have eye whites
I don't understand why you autists complain about it

Nah, I'm probably among the few who didn't enjoy Kill la Kill that much, so I wouldn't be the first in line for such custom minifig.

what exactly is bad about this minifig face?
>>6101024
I think it wasn't necessarily the eyes, but just the way they made the facial features on the clone wars figs. Combined with the flesh faces, it just looked weird.
Exo-Force used yellow heads and simple details like other unlicensed minifigs.

Actually, as long as we're on the topic of Exo Force, I have a vaguely related (and totally randdom) question.
What single sticker sheet Has the most yellow/black diagonal hazard marker stickers?
This question is only related to Exo force because the Sonic Phantom has the most that I've found, it has 16 1x4 stickers.
Off the top of your heads you guys wouldn't happen to know of a sticker sheet that has more than that do yous?
Exoforce sets have these katakana above the logo on the box
>トクシュブタイ
It's written in katakana to look cool but it's two separate words
>トクシュ - tokushu - 特殊
special
>ブタイ - butai - 舞台
force (military unit)
aka special forces
but it's not grammatically correct since there should be a particle after the adjective and before the noun
In actual japanese it would be 特殊な部隊 (tokushu na butai)
>>6100740
Noted.
I liked the tapered look, yeah, and more than anything else, just sort of wanted the second and 3rd floors to hang over the first one, and it just sorta got out of control.
And the windows on the second floor are going to be more like those on the first, with the non-opening sheet of glass variety.
I think, at least. I'm not married to it.

I see this argument all the time, but here's the thing. When I was a kid, I didn't want just vehicles. I wanted to make castles and fortresses, jails for my criminals to break out of or hideouts with trap doors and stuff, city buildings, space bases, etc. too. I distinctly remember going through my small plastic container of pieces and CONSTANTLY running into a bunch of wheels with no use for them. I made plenty of vehicles too, but at a certain point, it became unbalanced.

The way I buy sets is usually I go for what's oldest since it might not be around much longer. After Christmas, a lot of stuff gets cleaned out and is replaced by the next year's sets, so I wouldn't wait on it. Post-Christmas sales seem to be the last big sale unless your local store does clearances.
Man, do I love these sky pirate sets. Wish I had the money for pic related.
>>6101735
>I'm glad it failed
It didn't. Korra ran longer than TLA
>a series deepy rooted in personal growth
Korra was not about becoming the Avatar, it was about being the Avatar. It was from a completely different perspective. It was also written for an older audience for obvious reasons. The conflicts were less about right and wrong, and more about complex social problems. Like season 4 was an allegory for communist China. It's not about a kid growing up.
>everything somehow magically works out for her
You mean there was conflict resolution? It's not like she suddenly had answers for everything like Rey in TFA.
Anyway, i'ma build Asami's sports car.
>>6101095
The top one with the 2wide pillars looks coolest to me.
Buildings with just one window per floor exist, but if you want it to feel more big and stately you could maybe try to squeeze two next to eachother in a slightly wider facade. Going for two windows on lower floors and a single stately master bedroom balcony window on the top will probably look cool.
If you really like the 1x1 round brick window frame on that floor, i might suggesting using jumpers to make it pop out of the facade by half a stud.
Making the "pedestal" (sorry if that doesn't make sense, i'm post-nye crunk) of the building on the ground floor match in style with your cornice? Like more fat and flowy instead of slim and spiky.
I'm surprised lego didn't use the new mech bodies, as they can be quite useful when building snake bad guys, especially ones like in the dragon's forge set.

Posting some builds I made yesterday before the game
I spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to make a good large oven before settling on this. As with many of the things I make for games, I spent a long time making it and it barely even got shown in the game. I figured I had better have a working oven in case somebody wanted to put somebody else one.
The cupboard was designed to fit stuff inside of it that's inset in the wall.
The island stove only got shown from the drawer side, but the side with the burners has inset switches. Pretty simple but I couldn't find the variant cupboards I have until this morning.
