>it must be real because a website says it's official
No anon, it's obviously a forgery that's been made to look like a scan of an instruction sheet. If you look at the full-size version, you can see some amateur errors like how the space inside the letters is not the same color as the background.

As someone who routinely makes forgeries for fun, this looks pretty fake. If I'm wrong, feel free to point to any evidence other than thebrickfan website, such as an official set number or mention by official Lego channels.

>>6334810
fuck if I know, it's just the newest dumb fad.

For a while they were everywhere, but instead of fading away now they're REALLY everywhere.

>>6334822
Funnily enough, lego did put out instructions on something similar to this way, way back in the mid 2000's.
I remember seeing them in a lego club magazine back in the day, they were much simpler though. There was a little gag at the side where Ogel was saying he's going to use them to conquer the world.

Yeah so I tried the turbines. One with the old style clip the other with one of the new round ones. The old clip did not feel right, you guys were right. Way too much stress on the piece. The new clip though feels fine, even when it's up at the angle I don't feel any extra stress. Just somebody let me know now if they've tried the new clips in this fashion and they've broken. If I know it will break, I'm now gonna bother.

The feet are backwards if they aren't all going to be the same. You'd ideally have a single axis along the barrel straight into the ground to transfer the recoil. A loading or feed mechanism should hang off the side so the operator doesn't have to do work to lift shells onto the platform. The handrail probably isn't necessary because OSHA doesn't care about war, use that space for some other cool stuff. Maybe add some wheels for mobility? Looks cool man.

The motorcycle came with a broken cheese (you can't even see it in the photo) but I feel lucky to get the whole thing together. They just as easily could have sold the the two parts of the bike separately and without the light wedges, antenna and kickstands.

Welp, looks like I'm a big fat fucking potato. When I tried to scratch the sticker off, I was just scratching at the surface in the middle (the design) instead of the edges, which I didn't notice until I looked again.

That's horseshit. It was speculators who took advantage of AFOLs who read a Reddit comment by the guy at LEGO who prepared the set for release and freaked out. The guy said that the minimum number of sets LEGO would make of an Ideas set is 10,000. Retarded AFOLs all over the internet (including here) took this to mean there was not going to be many made.

So the night they went up on the LEGO shop speculators from Brickpicker etc swamped the website and bought them out, and at stores, to cause a shortage that spiked demand. I used to post at Brickpicker and saw it happening at the time.

The speculators were betting that LEGO wouldn't do a second run because it was an Ideas set(it had happened before early on) so they sat on the sets. Unfortunately for them LEGO did do more production runs so the speculators got fucked over and had tons of stock left over..

Now it's sounding like they're scapegoating the set designer, and I doubt there's any evidence he had anything to go with it.

Are there any good Pirate ships coming out soon?

If you ask me, LEGO have gotten worse, much worse. Not from a design point of view, but from a marketing point of view. When I was a kid, LEGO did awesome Castle, Pirates and Space stuff, but nowadays it's LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, LEGO Pirates of the Caribean, LEGO Ghostbusters, LEGO Toy Story, LEGO Indiana Jones, LEGO Scooby-Doo, I can go on forever how much licensed themes LEGO has made over the years. I understand if some people like those francises and want to combine them with LEGO, and if some people like licensed themes that's OK, but I can never understand how and why a huge company like LEGO who encourages creativity and use of imagination to rely on other's ideas instead of their own. I know they still make City stuff, which I'm not a big fan of anyway, and I also know they have LEGO Friends to appeal to girls, but if you ask me is just a generic appempt to compete with a certain toy line involving colourful horses. I know about the 2015 Pirates theme which I was really happy to see, but it came and went like it was nothing! The closest thing to a new LEGO Castle or Space theme is LEGO Nexo Knights, which is weird to say the least. It saddens me to see a company which created so many of my best childhood memories to be so dependent on licenses and rarely make anything like the good old Castle, Pirates and Space themes, which if they do result it being a licensed theme or something really, really weird.

>>6335700
it would be cool if they based sets on historical moments in history

Lego has improved vastly from the late 90's and early 2000's. I'd say we actually entered another golden age in terms of set quality in the mid-2010s.
Licensing is bloated at the moment, but you seem to be glossing over plenty of other themes. We have modular buildings, sets of a certain quality that we've never had before. We have ninjago and nexo knights, both original themes made by lego. We also have elves.
While lego could certainly diversify the themes more at the moment, the set quality is very, very good.
Also you complain about 'weird' themes, when these embody the creativity you say their lacking. Where's the creativity in spinning out multiple repeats of classic castle, classic space and classic pirates?

That golden age ended a few years ago.
Brick/plastic quality took quite a nosedive (dark brown bricks are supposed to be ticking time bombs and loads of stuff like CMF and soft pieces are made in China and are of lower quality), everything has stickers up the ass now since it's cheaper than printing and the sets may be designed a lot better than what we've got years ago (especially during the Jack Stone years) but ever since they took away the alternative models on the boxes and put in all those odd-colored bricks into the models for god knows what reasons there's this lingering feeling that they're trying to turn single sets into one-way products that specifically represent that model and that model only.

Stickers were much worse in the 2000s than now. I do think lego is beginning to leave it's second golden age, but only over the past year or two.
Alternative models were cool, but they're hardly some kind of amazing thing. The Bricks still break apart and fit together like they used to, so you can make what you want.

I think you're longing for a bit more heart and maturity from Lego. As am I. The problem with the licensed stuff is that it's got no heart, no creativity. It's just half-assed recreations of things we've seen in movies and whatnot. And their original themes like Nexo and Ninjago are aimed at a specific audience, namely 9 year old boys. Thing is, even my inner 9 year old dislikes those themes. He thinks they're corny and "gay". He wants something more manly, like GI Joe.

He told me that he is in a team that's working on a "Aztec Civilization" line. The series is supposed to have giant statue robots,Cyber-Aztec warrior,super advanced temples with UFOs to launch from it,there are also Aztec like aliens and they fight demons that use magical artifacts and vehicles. Another line that he heard is a Dino line,it's steampunk and ia more like "Cowboys vs Dinos".
There are also more Space Adventure sets coming,an CCBS like theme,it's more like Bionicle from 2001 and "VoodooHeads"(He told me about this line,I don't know that much about it) with organic pieces,technic and launchers.
There is also a new firefighters line combined with police,it's about those firefighters fighting fire like creatures/monsters that attack the City. There are also more Cherry sets and an Monster line in the works with more Army sets. That's all what he knows at this moment.Goodbye and have a nice day.

What's your budget? If you're not going to blow big bucks, most of Creator 3 in 1 builds are good. Just don't pick one where you can only build 3 cars or planes. Mixels are solid choice if you can still find them. Because I'm biased, both Nexo Knights and Ninjago are pretty solid action themes, if not bit too vehicle-heavy.

If you don't care of the money, then get a Modular Building. They're big, impressive looking and make a good centerpiece of any collection.

>What?

The Cult of Saturn is a secret society that rules the world. You may know them as the Illuminati. They control the banking system and the media, our government is infested with them and the children of our political leaders are married to them. They often place their symbolism in movies, TV shows and music videos... symbols such as triangles, the all-seeing eye, the black cube, and the 6 pointed star.

The black cube represents Saturn, and the 6 pointed star represents the cube.

Star Wars has many Saturn symbols. Some of the helmets that pilots for the Empire wear, such as the Tie Fighter Pilot, have triangles and 6 pointed stars on them, and the Tie Fighter's wings are hexagonal, which represent the 6 pointed star. The Death Star is actually modeled after one of Saturn's moons, Mimas.

Also, the Saturn cult controls the Freemasons, and they are into this weird duality between the colors black and white, and that is why the Stormtroopers are black and white.

There's a police vs. cops theme every year and before NK both of the short-lived castle themes which came after the fantasy one were human vs. human, the one wave long pirate revival was human vs. human, World Racers or whatever the name was had human villains too, if that counts.

Monsters/skellies/robots simply appeal to kids more because why have baddies that are just slightly edgier version of the good guys when you can have snakemen or alien bikers?

Those boxes are okay. They have some nifty pieces, but you also end up with like 2 pink bricks and 2 green bricks and such.

Bricklink is a friend. It's more of a market place, but they also have very extensive catalog of what set contains what.

>>6337155

I'd say go for some of the smaller creator houses and combine them. You'll get doors, windows and lots of similar colored bricks. The creative brick boxes have tons of rainbow stuff so it's hard to make something that looks good from just one.

It's cheaper but not as well constructed, at least in the main configuration on the box. The Corner Deli is a lot more interesting to build, though suffers from being cramped. Other than that I've only ever made the post office which wasn't that great either.

Made a Rhino MOC.
Also, the new Han Solo hair looks fantastic on Doc Ock.

The only heresy here is brasso'ing off Magneto's alt face on Symbiote Spidey's head.

>>6337351
Oh, and Doc Ock's trench coat too.
Trimmed from an old style cape.

Anon who suggested Magnetoheresy, that Rhino is adorable! Great find with the Solo hair, too. Spot-on with moviedoc.

Yup, I've had this idea since the instant I opened the bag for Mariachi Guy so last night I built the arena on a whim. Forgot to include one frame and there's a shot where a support beam fell over that I didn't notice, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The audience and the bull were a lot of fun to make.

why cant I see the thread

who here /hasnewsetsreleasedintheirareawhileotherareasdont/

my area is usually dead last to get new sets but we have the summer star wars wave here. Built the arrowhead, its gorgeous

Christ, even as a kid I would've considered this ugly as hell.

>>6337415
I actually quite like the look of it.
Twin drills is pretty cool.

>>6337067
I love that one. The design on it feels so complete. I just wish they didn't switch up how eyes work on animals.

>>6337415
I like it especialy fact it's a Bull face from upper view.

pls r8 my wip in progress

I don't really like the top. Any suggestions on what I could use instead of that train roof piece?

>>6337442
I like it, interesting use of the front piece.
I'd either extend the wings back more, or extend them out. Personally I think the former would look better.

Good work so far, definitely add more greebling. Some assorted vents and gizmos on the wings and roof would help.
