They're wide, deep, and modular, so you can get a few and use them for all kinds of different organizational plans.

This one is a 3-drawer that I use for bricks on the bottom, plates in the middle, and assorted special stuff (mostly minifig-related) in the top shelf.

>>6110790
this looks fucking cool but what's it doing in a theme about ninjas?

>>6110789
>Also does this work for colored parts?
Not that anon, but yes. Basically, the plastic pieces start to turn color as they age because the bromine that's mixed in with it to act as a flame retardant starts to break down and turn brown, which makes the pieces look discolored.

The hydrogen peroxide + sunlight method makes the bromine near the surface of the piece "turn back on", which makes it lose the brown color and the piece looks new again. After a few years, it will start to discolor again as the bromine once more breaks down.

Because it only affects the outer surface of the pieces, it doesn't work very well to lighten transparent pieces, because the hydrogen peroxide can't physically touch the molecules inside the piece, only the ones on the surface.

I wonder if there's some way to use a certain wavelength of light to reactivate the insides of transparent pieces...

Kids don't get affected by movie hype the same way adults do.

They'll pester their parents to buy sets with the SW logo on them no matter how long it's been since the last movie, as long as the sets are "ones they don't already have".

This is just TLG's way of spreading it out so the parents get pestered every 2 months.

Yes. I've gotten doors, windows, levers, Travis bricks, jumper plates, many different tiles, three-stalk flower stem pieces, and several other types of non-brick parts.

The one closest to me also has two bins on the wall that are unsorted sweepings, so you can often find minifig parts from the BAM, along with lots of different pieces that aren't in the wall because they were moved out of circulation.

Took my sweet time taking pics of this, but i'm glad the anon here recommended me to build this set.

I bought it pretty much on a whim on force friday or whatever because of extra points, free shipping and the fact that the pieces were seemed useful. It also looked non-specific enough to fit in my non-licensed setup and very easy to reconfigure into something else.

After i saw the JANG review about i had a bit of buyers-remorse. But now that i've built it and fiddled around with it, i've come full circle and really enjoyed modding it.

The interior was very skeletal and open, it didn't even had a console and you could see the cheater wheels through it. So i maximized space to the utmost extreme to seat 4 figures, actually have a console and steeringwheel and even nice cushiony seats. I made it so that there is a enough space and headroom for figures with very long hair, airtanks or some type of crazy to sit in it.

I think its modular nature is probably the best thing about it. You can just build an xbox hueg laser and chuck it on the back of it, or a big deflector shield disk, or a missile installation, or a rack for some speeder bikes, etc.

They might ask for the number off the instructions or a receipt or something to prove you bought it.
But lego is usually pretty good about that kind of thing.

Nice job on Mirror Master. May have to steal your design. Though the X Wing pilot torso bugs me a bit. I think plain orange would be more fitting.

Being a DC fan is suffering, as their sets tend to be far worse than the Marvel ones. I really want Blue Beetle and Killer Moth, but the Scarecrow set just isn't worth it, imo.

>What kind of person doesn't just rip open all of the bags into a pile and builds from that?
The same kind of person who has a brain. The pieces are sorted into bags to streamline and optimize the building process. What kind of idiot would go out of their way to make building the set harder on themselves? The only reason I could think of where doing that would make sense is if you really need to pad out that build time by taking twice as long to find pieces.

Sometimes it's fun to go old school and pour out all the pieces. Sure, it takes way longer, but you feel more accomplished when you've finished building it.

>Where is Batman's head from, and basically all that Robin?

Batman's cowl is from the Green Lantern/ Sinestro set a few years ago.

Rest of Batman is from the rooftop battle with Superman set.

Robin has the headpiece from the Lego Batman Movie Robin.

The head is Lois Lane from the Dawn of Justice set.

And his body and legs are from the Adam West Batman set.

Considering I had JUST finished bujilding the LEPIN brand Imperial Dreadnaught ship, and it was exactly as you just described (million bags and pieces, no numbers, free for all), a little structure and organization was a GREAT change of pace. Dont get me wrong, I love the sheer chaos of a build, the hunt for the parts (especially right now as I just hit the jackpot and got hooked up with both a pain killer AND adderall prescription. Want to talk beauty from chaos? Or sorting your bits and collection in a matter of hours?) and the awesomeness that comes from making something beautiful out of said chaos.

Really im just major pissed because I wanted the damned car since seeing the first leaked pic of it (hell, in GTAV I essentially MADE THAT SAME FUCKING CAR over a year ago! Its like destiny.) and after a few setbacks, finally got her to get halfway through the build and BOOM, no full car for you......

Here you go.
If you're wondering, it's ~38 in long, 18 in tall, and 10 in wide.

>>6112522
Oh true. I was only really thinking about the movies, but you're right. Chopper's pretty important.

You mean jump the gap?
No, the mechanism for the drawbridge is really flimsy. It can only go either full mast or all the way down.

Is er een officiële legostore in Rotterdam?
Ik ken alleen een particulier die in Gouda min of meer een legostore nagebootst heeft met ook allerlei mocs van mensen. (inclusief een oudere dude die echt een tering-grote replica van de St .Jan daar heeft staan)

Who is this? Is it meant to be this guy? >>6112542 Because it's really hard to care about a droid who was on screen for less than a minute only to die.

Anon, that's from the same parody comic book that gave us this gem. No need to get all worked up, "Skippy the Jedi Droid" is a decades-old fan joke.

What languages do you speak?

I'm german living on the border to the netherlands, so i go there quite often and i realized the same thing. It's easy understanding spoken or written dutch, even when you can't speak it. (Also dutch covers of english songs are hilarious)

That was SUCH FUCKING GARBAGE

No, but the writeup makes it sound cool. I might check it out despite your warning.

It's basically the comics industry form of catfishing.
>this book is so cool XDDDD
"There, I wrote you a fucking reccomendation, get out of my office and go play in traffic."

I have never read something so aggressively retarded since that book that some CUNT proclaimed was a sequel to Dracula because he was Stoker's great great grand nephew.

Fortunately I didn't pay for either of these books. They both have one thing in common - If you listen closely you can hear the author masturbating with the turn of every page.

>>6112636
I just meant "Vader being hunted by the entire Rebel Alliance" sounded cool.

>>6112640
>Vader being hunted by the entire Rebel Alliance
that sounds exactly like something that's cool in concept but then falls apart with every moment you think about it

Well, I knew there would be risks going in, because performing heresy on a curve is a LOT harder than doing it in straight lines, but I went through with it anyway.

I wrapped a piece of tape around it like I normally do, but then tried to cut out a curved section over the flesh printing. Unfortunately, the act of cutting out the tape left a nice little carving around the collar.

My only consolation is that it probably won't be that noticeable in future pictures.

>>6112656
>>6112663
I'm not sure of a solution, but you will figure it out. Maybe cutting the tape then placing it? Or you could try another method of heresy. Pencil erasers kinda work.

>>6112675
The main problem is with the curved edge of the area. The rubbing process is easier to do in a back-and-forth motion, because it's such a small area that it's hard to make a good circular motion and you just end up going back and forth, or moving outside of the boundary. That's why the line at the top of the collar is shorter on one side.

Everything I've done up to now was in a position that could just be rubbed off with a straight back and forth motion. I might try the eraser and use a microfiber cloth to buff it afterward.

>>6112581
ah you south Canadians amuse me so

>>6112693
The other option is to cover the area as best you can with straight pieces of tape then rub. Then you reapply the tape in a new area and start over until you end up with a mostly curved area removed.

>>6112700
Yeah, I think I might do that if the opportunity ever presents itself again. More time-consuming, but the printing seems to be really well-sealed and didn't have a problem with me pulling the tape off of it a few times, so maybe that will hold true for the next one.

Have you guys ever bought a set with the intention of selling it later on, and did it work out?

I see a bunch of sealed sets on ebay with 200%+ markup, even if they aren't retired yet
