It most likely is Falcon, but it's still intriguing that they chose London bus for comparasion. If it's Falcon, wouldn't it make sense to use some other SW set? Then again, that would make it too obvious. Also, if it's going to be as big as old one, why not use Ninjago City, to show that "Hey, here's the biggest set on the market. But we can go even bigger!"
>modular on S@H 179,95€

Welp, guess I'm never getting it then. Not for the full price at least.
>>6458022
What is the most "offensive" thing LEGO has ever released?
pic not related
>>6458054
Jabba's palace few years back made some muslims mad, one Mixel had slightly offensive description and there's few others.
>>6458054
It looks exactly like a mosque complete with obese green Mohammed with no legs, after all
>>6458025
Needs something to break up the red walls, but I dont know what it should be
Try looking at some sushi restaurants for reference

This sentence sums up my entire LEGO playing history, and the pretty much my entire life for that matter
>>6458054
One of the Mixels from that yellow tongue-themed wave used the phrase "back of the bus window-licker" in its official description, which drew some criticism. It wasn't on the packaging or anything, though, so it was just a matter of updating the website and printing a new run of the catalog.
>>6458158
it was a question of whether Lego or Disney has the better lawyers.
>>6458054
God, that makes me so mad every time I see it.

>>6458236
I am so salty that all of the personal vehicles of the ninja are so expensive. Sure, it's nice that they're big and hefty, but I'm a poorfag. I can't just throw 100€ on couple of sets. But I'll definitely pick some up, even if it means I have to skip Ice Tank and Fire Mech.
At least these don't have the DC license so they're cheaper than TLBM sets.
>>6458239
That sand green dragon seems like the best value, imho. You get the bad guy, the good guy, the mentor, and the laser pointer macguffin all in one.
So while waiting for Bricklink orders, I've been working on a mini Castlevania.
It mostly borrows inspiration from the first one, taking you through each stage to the big D himself.
There's still some work left along with general polish.
>>6458255

I didn't find shit for TLNM sets today, but I also didn't look very hard (only hit two Wally Worlds). CMFs are available locally, though.
At least these three malcontents arrived today.

Hey, I recognize that guy! Pretty sure he came with a little red delivery van.
*Googles number in filename*
Yup, I was right. Can't remember, though, if it came with a little crate or box that was just a yellow 2x2 brick. Those were simpler times.
>>6457084

Just got krennic's shuttle for $35 at walmart. Did I do ok?
>>6458397
Are all the parts and figs there?
>>6458397
Literally got a set for half off. Still ask if dun good.
Reminds me of the anons who got 70 percent off on modular and UCS sets from the amazon glitch that wasn't reversed. So much price gloating when it comes to lego.
>>6458400
Yeah everything still sealed. It wasn't even on clearance isle. There was a stack of them. I also saw that old scarecrow harvester with the farmer for 21.
>>6458403
Also that ninjago desert looking mech was 11
>>6458403

>elaborate
The "artist" lied to Lego about what he was going to do with the pieces he was asking for. If Lego had known what it was actually for, they never would have given him the pieces.
His shitty bait-and-switch is the reason why Lego no longer donates pieces to artists. The fact that it says "SPONSORED BY LEGO" makes it appear that Lego is complicit in that mess.

[nospoilerz]shame the show sucks ass[/nospoilerz]
You missed this set because of your dark age and it's never being released in the future because the structure is culturally offensive.
>>6458434
The middle on is found in 70348 and 70354; the side ones are both in 70350.

Fixed your post for you
Went up north today and checked out their Walmart and Kmart. Kmart was depressing as always but had a lot of $25 sets on clearance for $20.
Walmart was having some fun sales but most of it was stuff I didn't want. Picked up a CMF sharkboard surfer (I agree that the sharkboard is the only really cool reason to get him, but I will use all the pieces) and a four dollar Mixel. They had four left from Series 9 at a buck cheaper than normal and they looked so sad in their dirty display box that was mounted too high for little kids to reach.
Duplo cake was $2.50 instead of $5. Red box was regular price.
2x2 Duplo brick with krill printing when, Lego?
Duplo bunny is my favorite mascot
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=16206pb01
Duplo has some cool pieces in 2017
Check out this cell phone. It's 8 studs tall and that screen is printing, not a sticker. I didn't think I needed to build a cell phone store but now I know better.
Also check out this supersized emperor penguin from a new Duplo Batman set. Gonna need one of those for reasons.
>>6458558
Oh, never mind, I guess it already exists!
This would work well for a sushi bar moc.
This eight-stud-long fish would fit in pretty well in a nautical moc. Duplo animals usually have cartoony eyes but this one just has molded eyes.
Same with the older Duplofish
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=31445
Lots of cool giant items for signage and fun printings with this one
>1x2x2 with toilet paper printing
Does anyone else want these two as real mini-figures? (and preferably not that comic con exclusive bullshit)
This pizza seems like it's about a 6x6 because it's slightly bigger than a Duplo brick
>>6458564
I think I could probably fuck that
>>6458612
>>6458355
I hope it's a leviathon Technic set, something truly special for the 40th anniversary.
>>6458064
Really? I mean, turkish mosques I guess, but those are just greek churches with minarets stuck on.

pic related and you are done
Any ideas for what I could try turning pic-related into?
>>6458932
a spaceship, obviously
>>6458506
up north? michigander?
>>6458932
>>6458937
I second the spaceship idea.
Also, I'm planning on getting Ninjago City the day it releases, but looking at the other movie sets, I'm not sure if I should put city on the backburner and get the other sets I want and the minifigs from the fig series, any advice? I already bought the mech dragon.
>>6458932
The thing already looks like a spaceship, so why not try for something completely different and make a building or something
>>6458840
Nice, that's Mater's mouth from Cars, right?
Don't think I could fit it in without making the couch bigger and it's already pretty big compared to the fig.
>>6458945
No, just to Thief River Falls...
>>6458952
Could you replace the brick under the connection to the sunglasses with a headlight bricks and plates one stud back to get the mouth flush to the rest of the couch?
>>6458600
eh hem
>>6458716
I....
Havent seen something that beautiful related to the simpsons in over a decade....
I think I need to lie down.
I hope you guys understand that both those characters are parodying Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice.
>>6458420
and then he cut, glued, and drilled holes in pieces, the whole thing is a travesty
>>6458600
Definitely Gwen. 2099 is one of the few Spider-Person costumes that I don't really like.
What do you guys think the odds are of finding Ninjago city on Amazon for MSRP? The Saturn V is always there from third parties, but stuff like the modulars are there, and I believe directly from Lego.
I like the look of this set. It meshes the nu-technic look of plates covering everything with the old way of having all the gearwork exposed.
>>6459023
which one's the couch?
>>6458190
probably the heresey
>>6459293
The brown one.

>>6458218
>and I'm sure I'm just too dumb to appreciate the incredible genius and artistry of it
I hope you don't really mean this. He just made diorama of something gruesome out of a toy, this is on par with "Pokemon as real animals" fanart, the artistry is so low-effort that calling it art is too much praise, especially when he is too retarded to use the toy as intended, all of his travesty could have been replaced with at least painted parts from the 60s and this shit is originally from the 90s/80s.
Went out this morning for a haircut, stopped by the Westfield store cause why not. Bloody hell the Ninjago sets are so beautiful up close. The red mech is now on my radar for this guy.
>>6459547
Limitation helps to drive creativity and problem solving, anon. I think having too much Lego is actually a detriment imho. You can always use LDD and Stud.io, or take up drawing.

> people reproducing a design/story of someone else are the ones responsible for it

Assuming you're not just fishing for replies, "back of the bus window-licker" is a derogatory way to refer to someone with a cognitive disability, much like how "slant-eyed gook" is a derogatory way to refer to someone of Asian descent.

I do find it neat that the speeder is ridiculously downscaled version of the dropship.
Too bad those jedi mean nothing to me.
>>6460142
Oh, OK. In the US and UK, the special-education students are often relegated to the back of the bus ("back of the bus" in itself is derisive, because in the old days the undesirable passengers were often forced to sit in the back seats where the lack of decent shock absorbers meant their ride was more unpleasant than those closer to the driver), and "window-licker" denotes someone who is literally so mentally disabled that they derive pleasure from licking windows, computer monitors, etc.

I got a grey crocodile for 5 bucks, 3 skeleton cows 4 skeletons, a yetti, and Johnny Thunder for 4 bucks each, the original Naboo Starfighter for 15, 2nd generation x wing for 20, and that first green speeder from episode I for ten. Me do good?
>>6460455
What's a skeleton cow from? I'm guessing you mean skeletal horse. You did fine on the sets, but the other stuff wasn't really worth it.
>>6460458
I guess it is a horse. Don't know why they had horns added to them. Also the X-wing is apparently the first generation one. I just didn't realize they started tossing minifigures and maintenance carts into the sets so early. They would be a lot cheaper if every Y-wing didn't come with a crane, maintenance crew and random extra figures.
Made an attempt at the hammerhead helicopter shown in the ninjago movie game trailer, still don't know about the shape though....

"0937" was supposedly a knockoff brand years ago. They put their name in a red square on the bottom right of the front of the box, and requested sellers to stock the boxes upside-down.
New to /toy/, but what's your opinion on the brickheadz? I loved Lego as a kid, but I hadn't built anything in like 15 years except for the 911 for my brother who bought it because he loves that car. I would just look at sets online and wish I had the $$ to justify the biggest sets.
Then I realized my desk at work is barren, and everyone else seems to have funko pop figures, so I thought why not get all 8 of the non-Disney ones? The fact that it's only had one series sold it on me that I could have all of them(at least for now)
I actually think they're pretty cool, and look forward to future releases. Helps satisfy my building itch while being a total of under $100.
>>6460725
I was surprised that they were only ten bucks. I figured they'd be a couple dollars more because muh license tax.
>>6460725
>all 8 of the non-Disney ones
I have bad news for you. On a slightly more serious note; I enjoy them so far. The biggest complaint I have about them is the people who constantly come up to me in the store I work at and ask if they are assembled in the box. Most of these people get upset and put them back when I tell them they will have to put the bricks together. That isn't really Lego's fault.
>Really want klocki
>Order desired klocki
>Receive with excitement
>Become indifferent after a few days past
"NANI?"
This is the single biggest reason I largely collect Star Wars Lego. It is the theme with the most sets that I don't become indifferent towards after buying. If I were to purchase themes such as friends, marvel, cyborg knights I'd regret in a week or just not appreciate at all.
Star wars stans aren't bad it is just one of the themes we appreciate even when we go through our dark ages.
>>6460777
>The biggest complaint I have about them is the people who constantly come up to me in the store I work at and ask if they are assembled in the box. Most of these people get upset and put them back when I tell them they will have to put the bricks together.
>>6460782
That image is from the Katamari Damacy series btw
>>6460784
Lego didn't do enough to explain to the regular consumer of funko pop and similar figurines that Lego needs to be built. The single 2x1 brick on the top of the tiny package does nothing to inform the idle masses that the parts count is not just for show and is actual Lego parts to be assembled.

It took me a second.
Then I was immediately reminded of this.
there was a sale at kmarts. i got this for $17. not bad i guess? Theres a lot of neat parts to mess with
>buy set from Walmart
>open at home
>bags are open
>pieces are probably missing
>sticker sheet is gone
I'm going to return it tomorrow. But first... Would I be bad if I harvested the minifigs? It's not like they can resell the set.

>In the US and UK, the special-education students are often relegated to the back of the bus.
That's different from rural Oz back in my day.
Back then the back seat was place of the cool older kids.
You had to work your way up there either through having a cool older sibling, getting older, or just being the coolest little kid on days when the high schools had the day off.
And retards were always made to sit up front so the bus driver could keep an eye on them.
Or course by the time I was nearing the end of high school that all changed due to teachers who didn't have respect for the unspoken rules of the bus.

Use the auto-zoom button and Ctrl+K next time. And maybe consider throwing it into an external renderer, too.

Metro Hobbies on Swanston Street have 20% off all Lego this week. They have TLNM, Brickheadz and summer Technic sets. Check them out if you're in Melbourne.
So grabbed this for $25. I love the chronomancer guys and the snake theme. Also another Master Wu is never a terrible thing.
>>6459991
I like it (and i'm a sperg). I think the no pornographic content rule is a blessing and a curse. On one hand it keeps things in check of going to balls to the wall, but on the other hand it is more accessible to children and adult people are scared off from not being able to upload whatever they want.
Good artists are still on there though, mainly because the interface and functionality is an oasis in the current trends of tumblr and pinterest and shit. Those sites are impossible for me to navigate. On da you follow people, have a simple to use yet precise enough notifications feed. Can easily file away your stuff in folders or add commission info or whatever. The fluff that is there is easily ignored, much like 99% furry art. Much like 4chan the site doesn't have this weird priority of being so hip it gives you an aneurysm.

I'm not into capemovies and sets and only watched batman TAS as a kid, but i preferred the Lego Batman movie and got a kick out of it. Wich is weird, since the nostalgiabaiting of the original should've been more effective on me logically speaking.
>>6460782
The best way to stop being indifferent about Lego is making sets yourself. Making up the lore and constantly improving on your builds. If you can't or don't want to moc (?) try tracking down older sets from your childhood for nostalgia value.

I was originally skeptical of Brickheads because I fucking hate funko pop, but I appreciate what they're doing. I wish they had less big printed parts and more varied faces, but those are kind of two of the main things that make them "collectibles" i guess so eh.
I really like every fanmade Brickhead I've seen, especially because it means nobody is making fucking CubeDudes anymore.

Ship in a bottle is kind of lame though, unless that means they'll rerelease more of those curved glass pieces
Though I only wanted the diner myself, I still wish that they would make a separate ideas thing for licensed projects, they muscle out really cool sets
>>6461567
Well they did recently introduce the rule that you can't submit ideas with licenses Lego already has rights to. So marvel and star wars will never be seen again. That was before this review session began though.

I understand and accept that fans want lego of things they like, but it results in fucking shitty sets (adventure time and Zimbabwe concept comes to mind)
I guess I should see how they police themselves in the porportion of licensed to original sets they release
>>6461778
Big Bang Theory was a lot more comfy of a set than doctor who was. Also whats up with the 'women of ... ' sets? Why not target it for children and encourage both boys and girls into the sciences?
>>6460817
I could personally do without the giant skull, that's just a little too on the nose. But it doesn't ruin it or anything, still a nice model.
Ninjago Movie has some of the best sets of the recent years.
Too bad the movie itself will probably do the worst out of Lego cinematic universe, since it can't suck in normies like Lego Movie or Batman.
>Killer Croc set down to 55€
I don't know what to do. I couldn't care less of Batman, his speeder, or two literally who's, but my god I need that Croc fig. The car is okay too.
>>6455603
>>6461870
You're at least a bit wrong. I've never cared about Ninjago, but it looks like it'll be cute and humorous enough to bring in lots of people who just casually like lego, like people who were attracted to TLM in the first place.
>>6461645
Hmm,the set was 180$ in my country so yeah,I think is worth it.
>>6461645
I live near a third world walmart. I got the super hero highschool for $20. I will have to go back soon and see if they got this
I have never in my life cared of Voltron (it just didn't exist here where I live) but if there's something that I absolutely adore, it's combining robots. Will pick it up absolutely unless it's like 80€+. Ship in bottle is cool and, again, will pick it up unless it's crazy expensive.
>>6461870
Don't underestimate it. It has the power of the two movies behind it, not to mention ninjago is the most popular "story" lego theme ever
Though the movie itself will probably be meh, but I also felt the batman movie was way worse than the majesty of the lego movie
>>6461807
>whats up with the 'women of ... ' sets?
Feminists + no licensing fees.
>>6461896
>unless it's like 80€+
Unless they massively scale it down or cut corners it'll easily be at least 150.
>>6461870
>Ninjago Movie has some of the best sets of the recent years.
The Fire Mech is two knee joints away from being one of the most perfect sets ever.
And just to fuck with you the outwards movement of the hips is done through SIX joints.
Might want to see if I can use two of them to add some knees.
>>6461870
I think it'll do alright at the box office - not as well as TLM or TLBM mind, but still alright.
I'm kinda worried about the quality of the actual film though - IMDb has like 12 writers listed for it, and that's never usually a good sign (too many cooks spoil the broth an' all that).
How the fuck are they gonna make this an affordable and structurally stable set?

There are a whole bunch of more "family friendly" faces with the little smirks that don't do it for me. But for every boring print there's a really neat one imo. I love the zombie cheerleader, Dyna-mite, toxikita, the handlebar older crook, Dracula and a whole bunch of others. Especially if you want more girly faces now is the best time for those.
The only gripe i have is that for a while the "angry american" and "smug hero" expressions where a bit too overkill compared to other imho more fun expressions. They were mostly licensed fleshies though, since i don't collect those i honestly can't complain.

I don't really know much about Ninjago.

Pretty much.
>asian-esque setting

It's exo-force with more variety and better builds.
>>6462252
I have a pretty good collection of faces i like from all eras of minifigs. They exist, but seem to be more scarce compared to happy & conflict.
Also sometimes it just kinda baffles me when a head has a doublesided print where both faces are hardly any different. The nexo guards for example had two faces where you really had to squint to spot the difference.
Looking through heads by trying broad search-terms will generally help you on your way for looking for a specific emotion or character-trait.
>>6462263
Kinda? It has a smaller focus on fighting robots though. And feels much less anime. Also, it's actually financially successful.

>>6463463
>I don't have a cape for my Emperor Chang Wu figure. Can I make the cape myself?
You sure can. It will only cost you about twice what you would pay for it on cracklink, and your cape will be much worse-looking.
>>6463480
>cost you about twice
No, it'll cost less than 5 bucks
>will be much worse-looking

Sure, assuming you already have all the material and tools ready to go. You do have a die cutter, right?
>>6463491
>>6463463
You can get the cape and collar from this guy (or the whole guy) for a couple dollar

for me it's
Star wars Ghtroc 720 ship (it looks like a turtle)
Lego West Wing cast/ oval office. Gonna need to order a bunch of suits.
I just went around to all of my local stores in search of Ninjago Movie CMF bags. My Target and Toys R Us had the sets, but no Minifigures.
Finished the add on bay for the building. Good practice, but I might not build it. Fuck I'm bad at buildings, any suggestions for ver. 2?
>>6463777
Looks pretty nice so far. I would suggest tweaking the windows so they have some kind of awnings.
>>6463777
I think the roof could use some railings.
>>6463643
A small cafè restaurant and a huge 3 floor mansion.

I might use one of those old Alien armor pieces for him.

Any idea what pieces are used in that to connect the Doc Ock arms to the armor?
>>6463291
>His point is that the customer should decide who the figures are
They can. There are plenty of non-licensed sets out there for them to choose from. Hell, they can mix and match pieces from licensed sets to create their own characters. Y'know, just like the rest of us. These are some pretty shit arguments.
>>6464007
T bar
>>6464009
>they can
But do they?
Without having specific characters, the kids *have to* come up with their own characters, but giving them prepackaged characters relieves them of the need to do it
>>6464035
It doesn't matter. Let them do what they want. Who the fuck are we to tell them how to play?
>>6464041
Let's shut down schools. It doesn't matter if kids don't learn algebra. Who the fuck are we to educate them
>>6464046
Education should be organized and controlled, playtime should be run by the kids themselves. Nice false equivalence, faggot, got any arguments?
>>6464049
Yeah, got plenty; but with your double digit IQ it would not get through, libcuck
Playtime IS education, sorry you are incapable of comprehending that
>>6464068
>Playtime IS education
I don't disagree. But I don't think you've bothered to explain how merely having licensed characters available to kids impedes their education. We've already concluded that it doesn't impede their imagination.
>libcuck
Wow, that was uncalled for.

You will want to spray starch the fabric before you cut it. Anything thin should be good for the fabric. After you cut it put some more starch on it for good measure.
>Who know what evil lurks in the hearts of minifigs?
>>6464180
I hope the new scarf piece will be made in red.
>>6464208
I'd be shocked if it's not available in at least six colors by next year.
>>6464238
I expect the opposite. They will re-release the orange color a few times. I'd be shocked if we get more than one other color in the next year. Look at Wyldstyle's "Minifig, Hood Folded Down". It's been 3 years and we have 3 colors total. Black with purple, green, and blue. Blue and black were released for the Lego movie.
>>6464255
We'll probably get a red or white one in the next Advent calendars (maybe one of each). Winter-themed sets are going to feature it from now on.

[toilers]not really but it's a long story involving secondhand purchases[/neverinthislife]
Had a really rough day at work yesterday and went to the toystore after for some brick therapy. I was hoping to find the TLNM CMFs, but they didn't have them. They DID have a couple copies of this, and I snagged one mostly on impulse (my local toy shop is pretty small and doesn't get new sets too frequently).
While I was checking out I asked about the new CMFs and the cashier said they had a couple big boxes of Lego in the back that will be out for sale starting next week, but she wasn't sure what was in them. I've never not opened a set right away before, but I can't help but feel there might be something there next week that I would want more than this. City Chase has lots of stickers, minifigs that I will hopefully be getting nicer CMF versions of soon, and a fucking cop. Should I trade it in?
>>6464301
That looks like a nice set. I'd say that you should wait if you really want the CMFs. You can't lose either way.
>>6463463
I've made those with regular-ass clothing fabric. They won't be as stiff but they look fine.

>>6464574
You probably mean translucent orange. Transparent orange is the new, softer orange which doesn't react violently with a blacklight.
>>6464578
You what?
>>6464578
>Transparent orange is the new, softer orange which doesn't react violently with a blacklight.
They still put out pieces in UV-reactive trans-orange.
I would like to be a cautionary tale for anybody considering modding knees into the legs of the Ninjago Movie Fire Mech:
It's wobbly as shit.
Like, if you saw Jang's video, showing off how happy it was with being standing in any position, adding knees destroys that stability.
>>6463577
It was a different time, but I still can't believe this got past the drawing board.
>>6464451
I always thought the blue background for the old 9v trains was some sort of pseudo-arctic underground city
>>6464574
Orange transparent trainsaw?
>>6464661
How did you add the knees?
And wobblily how? I assume you mean it can take take the weight of the upper body
Meijer stores could be worth checking out. Mine had a table out in front with a bunch of clearance items, including Lego. Stuff like the Star Wars set with the mechabeast for $30.
>>6464716
An anon posted this a few threads ago:
dropbox.com/s/w1itdskppeij5hj/Mech%20Leg%20instructions.pdf?dl=0
Pieces required for it are in pic related. Blue circles are what you need to get external to the set, either the set doesnt have enough or none at all. Green is corrections, the guy who made the instructions misread the shades of grey and one piece, but he was working from a build video, so he shouldn't be blamed.
I made some additional mods which I'll get some pictures of up in a little bit, or maybe tomorrow. They make it a little nicer, IMO.
>>6464699
>Orange transparent trainsaw?
YES.
>>6464752
>one joint for a giant mech
well no shit its not stable
>>6464775
I'm honestly fine with it. It gives better poseability, if not play-value, which is fine for display purposes. And it doesn't ruin the appearance of the thing like more joints would.
Should I give in and buy the Ninjago Movie Dragon Mech or should I continue saving my Lego money for the new UCS Millennium Falcon?
>>6464878
Ninjago
>>6464661
Meanwhile the old Titan XP has no issues despite being just as big and having knee joints (although its legs are also chunkier and the joints are rather limited).
Oh well, I'll just assume that the lack of knees is due to Lego figures not having any, either.
>>6465043
>lack of knees is due to Lego figures not having any
I thought of that last night. Maybe that's why they don't put knees in their mechs.
What would they say if they saw the modified version? "What the hell? Extra joints in the middle of the legs? What's next, a swivel in the middle of its torso? How ridiculous!"
>>6465043
Man I wish they kept making designer sets like the titan XP. The new ones are nice, but they're not as cool as the titan. I missed it when it came out, so I might have to buy a used one on bricklink if prices go down.
Fun build. I love the tight turning radius and the way the doors open.

web warriors is an older set, get it while you can just to be on the safe side
besides, the temple will go on sale later in the year
>>6465252
Parisian Restaurant is already over three years old, it's bound to be retired sooner rather than later, while Ninjago City isn't even out yet.
If you're into A E S T H E T I C and cyber punk (or actually Ninjago) you probably should save those shekels for Ninjago City. You're got the time for that one, PR, not so much anymore.

Can we talk about how jazzed this kid is about lego?
Where do /lg/ keep their legos, especially buildings and such? I don't know where to keep them and they end up in disrepair from being put in a table in storage
>>6465348
You'd be jazzed too if you thought you could actually win free Lego stuff. Speaking of, has anyone actually known anyone who won from those?
>>6465396
All over several bookshelves and closet shelves.
>>6465396
I mostly build small sets. I don't display them, so they end up in ziptop bags before I take them apart. Those parts are mostly in ziptop bags also. The one set I have on display is just sitting on top of my dresser next to a few beer flats with Lego stuff in disrepair. I'm pretty sure that wasn't what you were hoping to hear.
>>6465396
>Where do /lg/ keep their legos
I have five of these that are full of Ziploc bags of pieces, sorted by type. These Sterilite drawers are great because they're modular, so I actually only have three units (which takes up less floor space), but they're each 5 drawers high. You can stack attach them as high as you want just by popping the top off and snapping another layer onto it.
One of sections is actually two drawers that are half as tall as a regular drawer, which is where I keep my loose minifigs.
At $15 each and 100 bags for less than $5, it's a cheap way to store stuff. Plus, when I need to use my Lego room for something else, I can just roll everything into the closet and the room is empty.
>>6465421
This is the one with shallow drawers
>>6465043
>Minifig legs used as something other than minifig legs
Neat. I didn't know any official sets did that.
>>6465396
If you only have a small collection, these are the absolute best
Get them in various sizes with sturdy hinged lids. They are airtight and can be fitted with cardstock to block out UV rays. My best advice is to get a big motherfuck sized box to place the smaller child boxes in for easier storage
>>6465450
Those are actually just the copilots
>>6465450
The only other one I can think of was an alternative build for a set from 1990.
>>6465467
I don't think it stresses the brick, so I'm surprised we haven't seen it other times officially.
>>6465467
using your dead buddy's legs to hold an emergency sail is one thing
this is just wrong
>>6465475
I think it's more of an image issue.
Minifig heads have been used frequently for things other than minifigs since the 1970s, and without face printing they aren't as recognizable, but legs are universally recognized as minifig legs.
>>6465483
You're probably right.
>>6465452
This sounds like a really bad idea. Stacks upon stacks of little containers to move around every time you want a specific part..
pic related would be an improvement.
>>6465498
I am not talking about brick storage for moc building though. The small containers are for careful storage for collections
I keep all of my precious parts, figures, and small to medium assemblies in those boxes, and use the organizer shelves for bricks for building with
>>6465396
I use a combinations of >>6465421 and >>6465498
I'm moving into a new place right now (as in, taking a break moving shit to post here) and I disassembled all my sets and separated them into bags/boxes. Though I was in a hurry, so a lot of small shit just go to thrown in a big tub, so that's going to be hell to sort through.
I'm also curious to see how the storage drawers are going to transport. They aren't very tight fitting drawers, so I assume it's going to just mix up the shit I hadn't sorted out
Either way, it's going to be a bigger, more permanent place so I'm pretty excited to make a proper city/water front table
>>6465396
i just put the bricks back into the box it came from. and then put that box in the closet. is this a bad way to keep bricks? i have a small collection
>>6465536
If you like to make your own stuff, it's better to have all your pieces organized by type, so you can easily find them.
If you're into collecting sets, then your way is probably ok, although I would worry about parts falling out of the box since it's not sealed.

Looks good so far.
I'd use something to cover up the holes in the round thing, though, like a technic pin and 1x1 plate.
The corners around it look like they'd be decent for trees, maybe that could lead into a small park to break up the gray.
>>6462308
You could add a "below ground" layer beneath the castle depicting the catacombs, underground river, etc.
>>6465684
>I'd use something to cover up the holes in the round thing, though, like a technic pin and 1x1 plate.
It's supposed to be a stadium, so I'm thinking the holes could be entrances. I'm still deciding on colors for the buildings.

Just wanted to share something. My friend and I have a routine every time we see each other of going to all our favorite stores and just hanging out. He has always been a fan of the old Wolf Bandits from Lego Castles. The Toys 'r' Us had series sixteen blind bags and I had learned of the bump code on the bottom of the bag. We managed to find the right code of bumps to show us the bandit and honestly the hunt was really fun. It seemed like the Penguin kid and the Hiker were the most common ones there too.
>>6466100
pounded like theres no tomorrow
>>6465259
It's a compromise. I think at this scale, it's hard to get detailing like that. You're totally correct, but making the dress longer would change other aspects of the build and have more of a negative affect than a positive one. The aesthetics of BrickHeadz also means sacrificing source material. Thanks for the input, I do appreciate it, and I'll see what I can do. . .

I've always wanted to make a microscale future city. The buildings look good, but the landscape should be more interesting. The city could be on a floating island or asteroid. Maybe have the city above water with bridges connecting everything. On expanding it, add a suburban cyberpunk area, and- of course- a monorail.
