My son turned 7 last week, and with his sister finally being old enough to know better than to put things in her mouth, we figured it was time to really introduce him to Lego. That, and the only thing he asked for for his birthday was the Jurassic World Indominus Rex Breakout Lego Set(freaking $170).
We got it for him, and my family got him some accessory sets to go with it. I spent a few hours building it all for him(he got a tad frustrated trying) and I had a blast. Is it weird that I want to buy him more sets so I can build them? Legos rock!
Who else likes Legos here?
-
I am in. :salute:
-
Lifelong Lego freak here.
Wish I had the money to have more.
I collected sets until I was about... ehh... 35? Then one of my nephews was just getting to the the 'age of lego' and i donated them to his betterment.
Now i only have a few small kits, but love them still.
-
My kids (oldest is 4) "buy" me a small Star Wars Lego set for my birthday each year, so they all know I'm a fan. We're still using Duplo's with the little ones, but we have a whole bunch of those too.
-
I'm in!
Still have an unbuilt 75055 Star Destroyer downstairs.
Got some blind bags for my boys this Halloween :tu:
For Christmas, my 6 and 8yr old boys are gonna share a 66512-1: Rebels Co-Pack. Wife plans to decorate this year's Christmas tree with the kids' minifigs.
yes, I'm gonna have to admit to using a Wingman to separate some flat pieces while cleaning up after the boys. :whistle:
-
Gotta love Lego! Sean,just wait til you can get your hands on Lego Technic!
-
Yup, BEST TOY EVER. :salute:
I have great memories of my dad building stuff with me when I was little, with my daughter when she was little, and now my nephew. All the same lego I had as a kid, I passed on to my little girl and she has passed it on to her cousin.
Amazing - it never breaks and you can build anything with it.
-
Nothing remotely weird about enjoying 'helping' your child build Lego. :tu:
-
Next best thing to a set of cast iron toy trains or old Matchbox cars.

Absolutely right, I spent many hours with my son and Lego, I'm looking forward to seeing his face when I give him my big box of Lego :tu:
-
Most of the Lego that I had as a kid has been passed on to my nephew, but I expect at some point it'll make its way over to my sons when they're old enough. I didn't have loads, but there was some nice stuff, including some that belonged to my uncles so there are bricks in there that will be at least 50 years old that still work with the modern stuff. My eldest (2 1/2) has got a bucket full of Duplo that he likes playing with, and I'm waiting until he's a little older before I give him this:

Lego were quite expensive and harder to find compared to Playmobil when I was a kid. I had a few Lego, only to find out I needed many more to actually build things. I liked Playmobil and Lego some but was not crazy about them but that's just me, they're a very good toy for a number of reasons.

You can't destroy something that hasn't been created/constructed first.
Also, don't destroy anything until you're in a position to build something new in it's place.

I have most of mine from when I was young still, although these days my new sets tend to be Star Wars related ones primarily.

I'm not aiming at you firiki, I am aiming at the kraken (or ex-kraken as of 2 explosions ago). It would be a very short and dull film if the baddie was dispatched at the beginning. We haven't even got to the carnage montage of you and Nate setting off from your respective bases and burning your way to Oz. I can't wait for that bit. I'm hearing 'Into the Void' by Black Sabbath on the soundtrack.
I can't post a youtubes link from my U Boat - something to do with the armour.....

Better put it right again.
I love Lego - Used to spend hours building robots. The minifigures came on the scene as I got to the age where I was 'too old' to play with it, but as soon as my daughter was old enough I had an excuse again. Endless eternal fun. Great thread mercury :tu:

Big Lego fans in my family - All three of us - My wife, my boy (6) me. Iam not even siure who is the biggest fan!!
Strange thing was I was not a Lego kid (my younger brother was) - I did Mechano and wooden blocks - Not sure why that was.
I only got into Lego when I started working on a project for Lego in Billund in Denamark about 8 years ago - What a nice project that was - And how lucky was I !! :D
We were allowed to go to the staff shop where everything was 50% - 60% list price.
I bought my brother the biggest kit (in # pieces) that Lego ever made at the time
The Ultimate Colllectors Edition Millenium Falcon - 10179
Even with the staff discount - I thought it was crazy money at the time - But I wish I had bought two - Now they are going for about $5k on ebay!!
Could not resist posting again this Lego mod that my boy did a year or so
-
Making others suffer is my only joy...
You must be having a great day then.
The technical sets are good, but my fear is that the pieces are becoming too speSmurfpillsed.
-
I have a friend who buys only the technics kits, I can only :drool: as they are well out of my price range... but I would enjoy building them!

I credit Lego for a good part of my metal development.

:o
This thread took off! Sweet!
Now I have some solid evidence to show the wife as I someday click "order" on that 75105 Millenium Falcon...
After all this lego talk, I totally want some star wars lego sets just for me, and my boy has no idea what kind of lego gifts he will be getting from now on. I have to make up for the fact that I didn't have my original set to give him because I gave them to my cousin when I started college. I had a huge castle set from the late 80's/early 90's and I am trying to find it again online.
I feel much better now, I wasn't sure if I had yet another weird addiction or if this one is normal! I'm dying to get the rest of the Jurassic World sets for him, just so he has them all. He's such a good little boy too, it's been a week since I build the large set for him, and it's intact! He only lost 1 minifig in papa's car(I am going to order it separtely), the rest of the set still looks new. His little sister breaks it and he puts it back together. I think the next 7-10 years will be a ton of fun for all of us!

Lego art is a thing. Many people have made impressive pieces of work with it, like the guy that recently presented a model of the Vatican.
There's also this French guy who made some cute scenes using Lego, I can't make out the name, it's on the pics.

Man who would have thought AT-ATs could be so cute

I have a small number of things I keep around my 'workstation', aka coffee table, to fiddle with while thinking. One of them is a little Lego car with driver (which seems to have wandered off), and a number of minifigs.
I got Darth Maul when Ep 1 came out, and got the Dino Tracker when we had the Spam competition to reach a million posts.
Legos are always awesome. And seeing female figs in action toy series (as opposed to 'girl' Lego) makes me very happy.
Also, I should note, the above posted pic of the AT-ATs is awesome. :tu: :rofl:

My son is 2.5 and has plenty of Duplo to cut his teeth on. Starting to give him some of the random sets I accumulated since college at office secret Santa and such. Not sure how I will handle giving all those sets to him in a few years. I might be a little protective, but I guess it is an excuse for me to play with them again!!

My son has just gotten into Lego. I used to play with it a lot when I was a kid, and have been waiting for this moment, drooling in the toy stores.
Yesterday I stopped by a store to see what was on the market, and I discovered that the Lego shelves where half empty. I talked to the manager, and she told ne there was a Lego "krisis" going on.
Lego has suddenly become very popular again and it has taken off in asia. Lego just cant produce enough to keep the shelves full.
She was worried that she might not get the Lego she had ordered 6montgs ago before christmas. Lego had told her that she would not get any more Star Wars lego until early 2016, when the new Asian Lego plant was ready. As she said it: "maybe then europe will get some too"

I will check that out, thanks! It would be cool to have that set again. One thing is for certain though, lego got much more expensive than it was when I was a kid. Not to worry though, my boy will still be getting his fair share of sets. I am really looking forward to getting some star wars lego sets soon. I've been browsing the Lego site, and there are ton of other sets I want to get my hands on as well.

I had, and still have: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/375_Castle it's currently not built... but my avatar is from it...

if you buy the sets "used" you save a lot as opposed to "unopened" even sets with missing parts/pieces are no problem just find out which parts are missing (often they tell you before buying) and buy them separate ;)
one word of caution, some parts smell like smoke (cigarette) :facepalm: I wash em when I get them first!

I admit my love for the little ABS bricks.
Last night, I tolerated a sea of screaming, whining, greedy little beggers for one of the seasonal sets for this year. Amazon's price is nuts for 40090, but Toys R Us has it for $4.

Lego issues series of minifigures every few months or so - About 12 minifigs in each series
They come in sealed packets - So it is pot luck - as to which one you get - Unless you grope the packets. :o They are not part of any set!!
This one is part of series 14 - Who are all monsters of some sort - And I think this is the current series - So you can get him now !!
I think it is slightly exploitative by the Lego company
However simliar to issuing a limited edition SAK !! :o
And they are great !!!

I think my most recent "official" Lego buy was one of the blind bags, ended up with the Valkyrie-looking figure out of Series 12. Before that I ordered a "Shaun of the Dead" figure from GI Brick. http://www.gibrick.com/shaun-2014.html
I had lots of sets from the late 70s, 80s, and thru the mid 90s. It ebbed off a lot after that, and it took a lot to get my interest with one of the Toy Story check lane bags with the little green army man and a Jeep.

I'm gutted that the only way to get Sabine (star wars rebels cartoon) with her Mando helmet is by getting the imperial troop transport... the other set she's in only has her with her hair, no helmet :ahhh
I could get one pulled from a set off fleabay, but it's a low move by lego to sell a rather pricey set.

My son is addicted to legos. He really loves minifigures and has a couple hundred easy. He makes these elaborate battle scenarios. lol.
The series 14 figures came out and I ordered him a complete set from ebay. 16 of them for $77. Seems steep but that is less than I spent on series 13 by buying a few at a time until we got them alll, since there are in sealed packages so its a mysetery what you get.

Given how much my daughter loves all the Lego games she has on the Wii I think that one would be a big hit. Sadly I suspect it wouldn't work on our old Wii. Perhaps need to look at upgrading to a Wii U. :-\

mystery packs must be both frustrating and disappointing for kids, especially if they end up getting the same couple figures over and over...

Ya we used to make a routine of it.. if he was good I took him to the mall and he could pick a couple. That store actually would label the backs though so you could pick the characters you wanted. I didnt know they did this though and had already spent lots on the same figures over an over... :D

Well hell, now I wanna lego Avatar!!! My first few minifigs aren't here yet though, I have to wait a few days. I can't use my sons minifigs, those are his. They're his. Not daddy's. Don't do it. They're awesome. I want them all!
I decided to begin with the Harry Potter series minifigs. I got a Harry with Wand and the 2011 comic con Harry/voldemort minifigs on ebay last night. I also have to find a Jurassic World figure for my son, first thing he did was lose Grey(the little kid) in his grandparent's car.

It was part of a haul of goodies I won here from the very generous Etherealicer.
http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,56520.0.html
I clearly remember my first minifigs I got as a kid with spaceship sets. Red dudes that otherwise looked like 'Benny' from the Lego Movie. Little space logo, 'scuba tanks', face shield on helmet that was inevitably lost, and a generic smiley face. Now, facial expressions, hair, and awesome coolness.
Edit: Maybe related...

G'Day,
Another Lego collector and builder.
I'm not into the mini figurines but love the Technic series. Lego has come a long way since I bought my first set back in the '80's. The latest sets with radio control, pneumatics and winches are fantastic. Alas, not cheap though. I have run out of space on my piano to show the various sets.
Let the pics talk!!!
Cheers, and build on :D

I read this and thought "$30 for a Lego kit isn't too extreme". Then I looked it up and saw how small it is.
Of course you could argue that it's absolutely huge on the inside. ;)

Lynn, do not give up all hope. Lego keeps the build directions for every set in the last 20 years or so on their website, but since this doesn't look like it is officiall released until the 3rd. So, on the 4th, they should have the building directions for item 71204 up, and look at the parts list. Then build your own. :P

That is why you should avoid multitools and knives in blister packs - if you play with them, even a bit, then you can not sell them as new in box.

Bluster packs are pure evil. I bought a bunch of stuff for an IT job I'm working on ATM and once I got home I reduced the footprint by about 90% just by throwing away the blister packaging... :facepalm:

Lego art is a thing. Many people have made impressive pieces of work with it, like the guy that recently presented a model of the Vatican.
There's also this French guy who made some cute scenes using Lego, I can't make out the name, it's on the pics.

Recreation is a key to civilization. Toys are a tool, not just for small children- even if your toys are trashcans that you toss in the air with a home made air cannon. Not only are they group bonding tool, the socialization is a general purpose "network" event. And Legos are comparatively cheap, fast, versatile model building tools, so the Lego itself, and not just the side effects of "play", is a multipurpose tool.

"I feel more awesome than an awesome possum!"
Which reminds me.
Here in North America, we have opossums. O-possums. But where I come from, the native (redneck) dialect, NO ONE pronounces the beginning 'o'. It's just 'possum'. Then i see an article the other day 'Baby possum cuddles toy kangaroo' and i'm thinking there's a journalist who needs a better editor.
Nope. It's actually a Possum, not an Opossum. And yes, there's a difference. So, Australia and New Zealand get cute pokemon looking things called 'possums'. We North Americans get things that look like smurfing dire plague rats from the deepest bowels of hell.
TOTALLY unfair.

I just picked up my first set (for me) in years. It's the simple Iron Man vs Ultron set for $12 at Wally world. I actually felt a little guilty buying it, don't know why. I built the little ship that comprises the set and decided so give it to my son along with one of the sentry minifigs. I kept Iron Man, the Ultron Sentry Officer, and one sentry minifig for my collection. I think that's a fair trade eh? It will work fine until my son sees the Iron Man minifig, he's gonna want that one.
While I was there I shopped a ton of star wars sets, there are so many cool ones I may actually pick one up. I'm kind of more into the Minifigs at this point, but I think a TIE fighter would be pretty awesome...

While I was at Walmart I priced the Lego Disney Princess Frozen Ice Castle for my daughter's Christmas. She's not quite four but since she plays with my son's lego sets I figure she can handle her own. Good thing is it's only $40, every set my son and I want is over $100!

I just snagged 4 of the 6 Avengers Age of Ultron sets of ebay for a total of $73. That's about half price. I'm currently saving my pennies to get the other two, which will total about $130. After I sell off the duplicate minifigs I will be invested about $70 in those two sets. I just want one of each unique minifig for that series, then I'm moving on to other Superhero series.
I also just started a build in Lego digital designer, after I finish it I will cost it and see how much that's gonna run me. This is getting real fun!

no, but I do agree the "buildable figures" line does look a lot more like the Battlestar Galactica reboot Cylon Centurions with a different head...

Here is my Avengers Age of Ultron fig collection so far. I am only lacking the Black Widow, Vision, and Iron legion minifigs to complete the set. I don't need to, but I am probably going to pick up the final 2 sets as well, because I have 4 of the 6. BTW, Hulkbuster has got to be the coolest damn thing I have seen in a long time!
(http://i1053.photobucket.com/albums/s461/seanton35/20151113_050821_zpsyjkkeeum.jpg)
-
Hulkbuster looks about the scale I expect my buildable figure Jango to be. Still not had a chance to do much aside from open the box...
-
It's a good size, but it's not scaled to the minifigs correctly, because in the movie Hulkbuster and Hulk are the same size, as you can see in my photo they aren't in the Lego version. Still, Iron Man fits inside it and it's still awesome!
-
My latest is the Chima Pheonix. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Flinx-s-Ultimate-Phoenix-70221
I don't care for the birdish minifigs, but the pheonix is very pretty. This one is not getting broken down for parts, but will probably make a few appearances in RPG sessions. Now I need to find a good dragon to go with.

I have only been waiting like 30 years for a Lego TARDIS. An official set gets released next week. And as part of the 'Dimensions' video game. For $30 SMURFING bucks!
Smurf that! As neat as I think it is, I'm not dropping $30 on a TARDIS, Dr. Who minifig, and K9.
:rant:
Ah,but which Doctor?

My Lego addiction has really taken off. To date I have 51 minifigs, mostly Superheroes, some of the CMF series and a few others. I also have two lego creator sets, 8 superhero sets, and my wife bought me the Parisian Restaurant for Christmas. I just used a giftcard to order a few Iron man minifig armor variants as well. This is the most fun I've had in years!

how about dragonball z?

I heard about those, but they look cheaply done to me. I love the idea, being a Dragonball Z fan as a kid, but I would have to see some better quality if I'm gonna shell out the same retail price as an actual Lego minifig.
I just paid 2 bucks for a fake Iron Patriot for my 7 year old(I have the real one on the way for my collection, don't ask how much I paid)and it looks much better than the printing on those DZ figs.

I've been tossing around the idea of starting my pirates collection with that one Lynn, but my Superheroes collection is taking precedent. I figure by the end of this year I should be relatively caught up with Superheroes, as in I should have all the affordable minifigs and from then on I can keep up pretty easily with the new releases. As of right now I have 56 figs, 44 of which are Superheroes series, with another 5 on the way this week.
My son is one set shy of having all the Jurassic World sets, and the last one should be here soon.
I plan on doing either a Pirate or City MOC diorama for me and my kids this year as well.

Love the Carbon Freezing chamber Micah!
That new (old) Batman set is catching my eye, simply because I collect Superhero minifigs and it comes with like 9 minifigs. I love it when TLG includes a ton of minifigs in a set. My Son's jurassic world indominus breakout was nearly $200 and only came with 4 minifigs. I routinely pick up sets for $80 that have 5 in them.

The stud size remains the same -- my Lego sets from the 80's still work well with recent sets.
Wonder what set you're putting together for your kid -- that definitely doesn't sound like Duplo.
On a side note, word has it that pieces aren't as "opaque" as they were. If you hold a 30yr old brick up to the light, it blocks more light than a brick from a set 30 weeks ago. Not that I have tried nor care though....
-
I think he's referring to nanoblocks
http://www.nanoblockuk.com/
-
This is the one. I am very impressed with some of the pieces. There is even a tiny ball joint socket.
Our baby has been playing with Mega Blocks and Duplo. This is way too advanced for her. Once I build it and she plays for it for a few days it will go back in the box and come out when she is ready.

My son has that set. I agree it is quite detailed and too advanced for a 3 year old. My Daughter is 3 and plays with the dinosaur and some of the minifigs but Lego sets are too much for her. She does, however, enjoy sitting down and playing with 10 bricks or so, making little shapes.

MetalBeard's Five Laws of the Sea include;
* Never place your rear end on a pirate's face.
* Never release a Kracken.
* Never put ye hand in a clams mouth.
* Always abandon a lost cause.
* Never wear a dress on Tuesday
Words to live by indeed. .....

Those look neat, I've been debating whether or not I'm gonna go for them or not. I'm still trying to catch up on the Avengers(the only series I'm remotely close to being a completist in), so I don't know if I'll just get the Hulk/Capt America/Red Skull Mighty micros or all of them.

Nope! This is the first thing I've ever discovered in my life that I want to actually collect. I've bought and sold hundreds of Multitools, but I've never collected them. I kinda collect coins, but only very intermittently and I never pay to get them, it's usually stuff I find in my change.
I'm having a blast collecting minifigs though, it's awesome!

So where are the photos showing 90+ minifigs. I don't know if you are familiar with the term :worthless:?

I'm having some work done on my house at the moment so they are all neatly packed away in a safe spot for the time being. I don't have an updated pic, the last one I have only has like 12 figs in it. As soon as this project is done, I will take a good photo!! :D

This was a very fun build with 1329 pieces in total. The instructions for this one were a tad difficult as many steps required a search for where the pieces were positioned in the illustration step. It turned into a big where is Waldo event on a few of the steps necessitating my having to go back a few times to fix some minor errors...but that is part of the fun.

Anyone ever wonder where the cargo goes in the YT-1300 Stock Light Freighter? Doesn't seem like there is a lot of space to haul stuff....

Or that a freighter keeps leading fighter raids?
-
I had read somewhere that they were used as a tug boat is today...hence the front square profile and the side mounted cockpit...to allow pilots to see forward whilst pushing cargo containers around the galaxy.
As for leading fighter raids...yeah...no explanation for that one at all.
-
I'd read that too, but I'd also read that there was room in the hold for an X Wing, which is something I'd never actually understood.
As for the fighter thing, well look at how well the B17's used to handle fighters.

Maybe after a Wookiee dismantles one might it fit. :think: :rofl:
-

Def
They might have been used as packets, so mail and light cargo moved quickly on a regular route. Or there has always been a need for small cargo haulers, to support more remote areass.
The schnooer Pato, commanded by Joshua Slocum, was only about 90 tons. And was successfully used to move cargo commercially between islands in the Philippines. She also made runs to salvage wrecks due to her speed and low draft. Anyways what was the question?
Oh right I assumed that he cargo was in the back half of the saucer. That said there dose not seem to be large hatch.so any fighter would need to be disassembled.
As for the fighter raid thing they are rebels they have to use what they can get, he the Falcon is fast, nimble, and as heavily armed as the fighters.
Really I don't think SW ship design started getting practical until this last of season of rebels.
-
@Falocon
Well, according to the Wookiepedia it has space for up to 100 metric tons :rofl: in 1+3 different cargo areas... Although the freighter configuration completely lacks crew quarters and even a toilet :facepalm:
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/13/YT-1300_72dpi.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20050607200756)
The Falcon at least has 3 beds and a toilet (for Han, Chewie, Obi, Luke & Leia) :tu:
And according to the Wookiepedia still 100 metric tons of room (although getting the cargo to the cargo-hold seems like a journey).
Still there are other questions, like where do they "cook", store their food and water (even with almost flawless recycling they would need a large amount of water). Why is 80% of the ship corridor :P
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/1a/MillenniumFalconInterior.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070217103318)
I think in the Star Wars Universe energy is unlimited and free (even a really poor scavenger on Jakku can afford a permanently hovering bike) and therefore we see totally inefficient space-ships :P

Not sure I would have much faith in that plan as you wouldn't want your escape pods right next to the engines or that far from the cockpit.

Well, it is a poor design... you have to transport the goods through 10 and 9 into 7 :think:

The problem of course is it was designed from the outside in. Also it seems like the cockpit would make a much better escape pod.

Here is the latest, a First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter.

There's also a model of the escort frigate Redemption on that site as well, and I daresay it's even more impressive.

Wow, how did I miss this thread!
All my childhood 80s Legos are still boxed up in the basement waiting for an excuse for me to play with them...ie my son being old enough. He has been building Duplo for a while but I am anxious to get him into the real stuff. Did a few of the simpler creator kits and some smaller City kits.(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160428/2b4bd30f24087b017401a049a1edaec4.jpg)
I'll get more pics of classic stuff eventually but in the mean time...

Now have Fin, Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, First Order Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, General Grievous, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Wow! Are those light sabers or are you guys just happy to see me?...

Bought my son this Duplo set for his 3rd birthday:
(https://onlinetoys-onlinetoysaustra.netdna-ssl.com/images/D/lego-duplo-10816-my-first-cars-and-trucks-w.jpg)
His favourite so far is the tow truck, but seems quite happy to get me to build anything as long as it's got wheels. He's getting the hang of taking the models apart, so hopefully he'll start to build his own soon. :tu:

My kids love the mini figs but we all get frustrated with how easy they break apart. I guess we could "kragle" them haha
-
One of my favorite things to do with my son is browse the local store's selection of Lego and see what all they have. We do it every time we run into town. We spent about 30 minutes on Sunday doing this and I was given about 40 ideas from him for his birthday this month. Silly kid wants every lego set they make!
I think I'm gonna try to get him involved in building a city layout for him and his little sister.

That is a very nice Lego model. I just gave all of my Lego models to a good friend's son. His eyes were like saucers. I needed to make room for other things, and well...he paid me back with happiness...which is the best payment ever. :)

That was quite nice of you! I gave my son a few pieces the other day. Not like he's wanting for Lego; the boy has a truckload. He had gotten 3 sets for his birthday last friday, but his grandfather and I both bought the Falcon on the same day and his little face was plainly saddened that he didn't get it(he's not into star wars though), so I gave him some trucks from the Captain America Civil War set, since I only collect Minifigs and Aircraft/Spacecraft.

I've been watching some Youtube videos about EDC Altoids Survival kits. Did anyone thought about making a survival kit out of LEGO, instead of an Altoids tin?

The good thing about it is that you can build it to your exact measurements needs. Also, it would be water tight.
The not so good part is the weight, thickness, sharp corners...
Any ideas on this?...

No, they went the high-visibility route it would seem, the older (without Technic cross) came in grey though.

I have about 10 of those brick lifters from Lego, and while they are an awesome idea, they aren't the best tool. The tapered edge dings really easily, rendering the tool useless after a few attempts to get a stuck brick loose. I prefer to use my Vic Executive's blade and I'm just really careful.

Maybe there's a (very small) market for a Ti version :D

I'm guessing the tool is as good as it can be, a sharp blade is definitely not something they can add...

Radar guided laser cannons and they still manage to miss a very slow giant mechanical dog. ;)
I remember that toy (though not the name) and remember seeing the advert where it gets "blown up". 8) I always really wanted one but never did get it.

You weren't missing much. It wasn't spring loaded like the exploding speeder bike, it simply sat there with a post in the hole of the base. If it fell over it "exploded" and the same if you tried walking while carrying it too fast.
(http://thumbs.picclick.com/00/s/OTU5WDExNTI=/z/bF0AAOSwPCVX9YiO/$/Vintage-Star-Wars-ROTJ-Radar-Laser-Cannon-Parts-_1.jpg)
Not my pic, but you can see how the post formed by the two halves of the dish mount fit into the hole in the base, the oval bit at the top of the pic- that's an overhead view of it. Press the button at the back and a lever pushes the post up and out. The more vigorously you push it, the more "amazing" the explosion.
You can also see the little plastic bit that fit into the spokes of the dish mount and made clicking noises as you turned the dish side to side. Given that the dish mount was two hollow pieces and the base was mostly hollow, that was one LOUD cannon. When I was playing and needed to turn the turret I would lift it out and put it back in the direction I wanted so as not to get noise complaints from the neighbors! :ahhh

Why does the Droid Army need to talk at all? If they are all connected then they should operate as one unit, not a bunch of individuals. And, telemetry from any one of them should be coordinated amongst all of them, so even if one's targeting sensors are down (which seems to be a common problem with them ::) ) it should be able to access telemetry from the others. There is little to no excuse for them to ever miss.

Lego rip-offs generally struggle with copying Lego's precision molding, so the pieces tend not to stick together properly or be too tight fits. As for what the plastic contains, e.g. lead, I have no idea. And I don't know anything about those specific rip-offs.
-
Not to mention whether the plastic is safe. They seem to lace lead into anything over there. Have you heard/ seen fake rice, fake egg... from China? :facepalm:
On the other hand, I am amazed at how quick they pump these sets out, and stay recent. LEGO does not seem to do anything about these cockroaches, but flex their muscles on pricing and promotions against US retailers. I used to be able to buy hard to find set on sale. Not anymore.
-
Lego has some production in China now (stuff like their key chains), and has been looking at off-shoring for quite a while. I guess it's just a question of time till we get rip-off Lego which are high quality. :think:
-
I think we have nothing to worry about...
Show content
I don't believe we're ever going to buy a REGO construction box...
:whistle:
-
The main reason not to worry about the Chinese fakermakers is the quality. There are very few custom makers that come close to Lego quality, and from what I can deduce, they are all US based and have a vested interest in selling their "customs" to people who specifically want "customs" to complete collections. They are in no way a real threat to Lego.
Most of the fakes you see have such terrible QC that the ink literally wipes off their minifigs. Ask me how I know...
-
That may be the case, but in some cases (especially like me) where I might collect certain sets only to build it once and put it in a display case. The quality might be enough for people who do that vs the ones that merge parts into their large lego collection to be built multiple times, and at a more affordable price.
I'm in no rush to buy a bootleg set though just yet.

I know everyone (quite rightly) hates Jar-Jar, but the bloody stupid Droid Army comes a flipping close second as far as I'm concerned. >:(
Why does the Droid Army need to talk at all? If they are all connected then they should operate as one unit, not a bunch of individuals. And, telemetry from any one of them should be coordinated amongst all of them, so even if one's targeting sensors are down (which seems to be a common problem with them ::) ) it should be able to access telemetry from the others. There is little to no excuse for them to ever miss.
But hey, what do I know?
Def
Good point! Also, why do they carry guns? Surely their weaponry system should be built in. Why do they look at each other when they talk? So many questions :ahhh
-
can they fall in love ?

their heads are like lego,,,,,

That would be the Tantive IV, manufactured by the Corellians under the command of Captain Antilles, no relation to Wedge Antilles, the only Rebel fighter pilot to survive assaulting BOTH Death Stars.

Yeah, it sounds like you are completely left out of the Lego.... better get some more Lego to make up for not being able to play with any of the Lego.... :D

I got the latest Technic set for XMas. It was only released 1 Jan 2017 and had to wait to order it. Got it from Germany as we don't even have a price in Oz yet. Thanks to Mrs. VN!!!
I got the son to help me build this morning and then posed for a few pictures. It is also the 40th anniversary of LEGO Technic!!! Congrats, you have given me hours of fun whilst emptying my wallet!!!
The last pic is with Big Brother ;)

The movie was OK, not that great. The Lego Batman Short-movie was much better and I think Batman was funnier in the Lego Movie. Maybe it was too much Lego Batman for me.

May go to OMSI today with a large legs exhibition. Called the Art of the Brick.
"Named one of CNN's Top Ten "Global Must-See Exhibitions," The Art of the Brick exhibit by artist Nathan Sawaya takes LEGO® bricks from child's toy to sophisticated art form and beyond. The world's largest display of LEGO art ever features original pieces of inspiring artworks as well as re-imagined versions of some of the world's most famous art masterpieces made exclusively from LEGO brickS."

almost 2,000 pieces! (1,969) I'm gettin it... :dd:

that's awesome mate. 8)

1,969 pieces seems very fitting! I wonder how difficult it was for them to engineer a model that had exactly that many pieces? :D
Very cool indeed, although I am guessing it will cost almost as much as the real rocket did in 1969! :ahhh
Def
-
when I first heard/read about the new rocket I thought it was going to be 2, 3, 4 hundred bucks (like the death-star) so 120 dollars isn't so bad, it even comes with a book/pamphlet about the mission :cheers:

Yeah, $120 isn't bad after all. Some of the sets get really pricey, but that is quite reasonable by Lego standards. :tu:

and still we complain about Swisstool costing as much.... :)

I am not getting in on that one.... I would pay that for a SwissTool. In fact, I did. When they were first released they cost $145 at Canadian Tire here.

yeah my Swisstool was pretty expensive compared to others but the build and finish and quality was worth it.

Indeed it is. Imagine my reaction when I bought the XTi for the same price, from the same place...

Likewise Serena - You have been away for ages for ages
Love your city - Do you have the French Café there? - I could not make it out - That is my favourite of the building series - It is really really nice with so much inside - including the artist's attic - Very La Boehme!!
And the campervan has to be one of the best sets ever !!
Boss - I am disappointed in you - Not another anti-cycling bigot :twak:
What most drivers do not realise is:
- Cyclists reduce traffic on the road
- Cyclists do not affect a drivers' overall journey time for an urban trip, yes you may have to wait a few seconds to get around them, but you will be stopped at the next set of lights in a traffic queue shortly anyway
- Cyclists do not cause accidents
Ah well - A bit political & challenging the Boss - I guess that is the end of me at MTo.
To be fair - There are some cycling idiots on the road - I see this much more in Sydney, where there seems to be all out war between cyclists and drivers, compared to the UK
As a cyclist I started off on the side of the cyclists - of course - However after observing them for a few years - Some of them are not good road users - and I can see why drivers get frustrated.
They do not all stick to the rules of the road or have respect/consideration for other road users
Actually I am not sure what Ottawa or Halifax is like - But one Canadian city that has totally got cycling/motoring co-existence sorted is Vancouver
Everybody seems to cycle there - and the system, mutual respect, the road/cycle path network, really seems to work
Rant over ;)

did you have problems? was the system down & buggy and you got tons of "Error" messages? apparently lego doesn't care about updated/modern programming :rant: smaller companies have less online problems :whistle:
I ordered 2, first one for me then after several more attempts another for a friend, mine is coming next Wednesday (first one ordered to west coast), my friends is coming tomorrow! (second order to middle of country) :facepalm:
but I don't mind, I'm glad he's getting his first and will have the weekend to build it and enjoy it :cheers:

Yep, I think it was a traffic problem as everybody tried to order one. They should have opened earlier for per-orders to spread the load.
I simply waited till the evening and tried again, so mine should be shipping on the 15th as it is back-order.

So, LEGO decided to cancel my order, after 12 days they figured out that they sold too many units.
Good thing they did not deliver that many units to this guy :viking:

That's frustrating.

-

Worst part is the reasons and how long it took.
I mean how long does it take to realize that you sold too many units? If the cancellation would have come on the 1st or the 2nd I would be understanding. But on the 8th they sent me an email it will be delayed, then yesterday on the 12th they cancel?
I'm curious to see if they publish my review.
-
that does suck, sorry your having problems. I ordered mine the first "hour" (ordered within minutes of it being first available) and had problems. by what I'm reading even brick n mortar stores sold out within hours (lines were said to be very long) so even if you had gotten a cancellation sooner you still would have waited a few weeks :(
I think this will be Legos best selling kit and I'm sure the Lego-Ompa-Lumpa's are working overtime at the factories making more (more money for them) so I'm sure in a few weeks or maybe a little longer they will be available again.
to me this set is worth it, the price 119.99 USD is a bargain (6 cents a brick) but I've seen it selling for double or triple on ebay because it has sold out now :facepalm:
just give it some time and I'm sure you can get one for the going price in your area. I am pretty sure the collector price for this set will be insane in a few years after they retire it ...what I'm telling the wife when I get another one for me in a few months :P :D

It's also not rocket science, they know the number of orders and they know their own production numbers, so they should be able to predict the day my set would have been produced and simply asked me if I'm willing to wait or if I prefer to cancel.
They should also have closed the ordering if they are not willing to fulfill the orders.
Anyway, at the moment I don't feel like buying the set anymore.

but I understand how you feel :cheers:

Let's remember one thing- not too long ago, Lego almost went out of business. They were mismanaged almost to oblivion and, while their media and licensing agreements may have saved them, many of the people that mismanaged Lego in the first place are probably still employed there. Just because they have been successful again doesn't mean the middle and lower management and line workers have changed their attitudes towards production or shipping since the days of the sinking ship.
I'm not saying that is the case, I'm just saying that it is something to keep in mind, especially since the new stuff (media, video games, licensing etc) are probably all different people in a shiny new building making lots of money while the assembly line folks are still making the same old money working in the same old buildings. :facepalm:

if the how it's made episode is anything to go off the molds for new parts are the expensive bit of the process.
Otherwise it's just banging out batches of whatever is needed and shipping them off to the sort/kitting plant.
Maybe they didn't expect the response they got for it, and were being cautious.

Barely started and am already playing catch-up. :doh: OK, so yesterday we got our first Mini-fig of the year and it's a bit of a good one; it's Sabine Wren.

This morning took a little more head scratching but, knowing they often group things together by film etc., I managed to I.D this as being the Phantom. It's a fighter/shuttle pod that docks with the Ghost (from day one). Not their strongest model I'd say, but there's always tomorrow to look forward too.

AFAIK, she only comes with a helmet in the 75106 Imperial Assault Carrier kit. You'd think she'd have a helmet for Ezra's speeder kit :think: but apparently safety on a open vehicle is not as important in lego... :facepalm:

I was a huge fan of Legos as a boy. And Lincoln Logs. And Tinker Toys. Even Legos competition (at the time) called Brix Blox. I never got into the "sets." They limited me building a specific toy.
We used to build little towns. Legos were the brick houses, obviously Lincoln Logs were wood. Tinker Toys always seemed to be the space station or crazy giant motorcycle.

So on to day 4 and it's...a gun. Definitely a gun. I just have no idea to whom it belongs specifically. The feel is Clone/Empire/First Order, but even that's a guess. I'll go look it up now and put the answer in a Spoiler box below. Quite cleaver use of extra bits to build up a blaster into something more though.

That was my first thought as well, BUT this has a much more distinct upper "barrel" piece and has four legs rather than three. I can't say for sure of course. Interestingly this has a clear disc to act as a stand, which they have used before to suggest hovering. A hovering Blaster? :shrug: I don't know TBH, but there's no need for it to be there as it stands up perfectly well without it. More digging required. :D
-
Today we got another Minifigure, who I think is Cassian Andor (sp?) from Rogue One. Not a lot to distinguish this chap from any other Rebel fighter to work on and I'm basing my guess on the stubbly beard. One thing to note is the baster is a dark grey rather than the usual black.

I'm really rubbish at this idea of one pic a day, aren't I? :-[ So here's a snap of yesterday and today side-by-side. On the left we have a minifigure of...that guy...you know...him. OK, I admit it, other than knowing we are getting Force Awakens themed builds ATM I've no idea who he is. The crowbar he gets makes me think he might be a junker from Jakku. On the right we have the much more recognisable pack droid that, most notably, was the ride of Teedo when Rey and BB8 first meet. Cracking good wee build BTW. I'll go have a peek in a sec to see if these two have better names than I've come up with.

So the minifig seems to be called Unkar's thug (http://jaysbrickblog.com/2017/12/01/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-2017-countdown/#Day10) so I'm feeling better about my guess. The propper name for the pack droid is a Luggabeast (http://jaysbrickblog.com/2017/12/01/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-2017-countdown/#Day11) and apparetly isn't a droid but an animal that has been "enhanced".

From the highs of yesterday's Millennium Falcon to the lows of today. :-\ I did recognise what it is supposed to be, but only because I've watched the deleted scenes. It is a First Order Speeder as seen on Star Killer Base in Force Awakens being used in a chase sequence with Finn and Rey. Here's what the instructions tell us to build;

Awesome. :tu:

What does yesterday's Speeder need? Someone to drive it of course. A first Order Snow Trooper. He doesn't get his own blaster either, do these guys have to share or something? :shrug:

They don't hit anything, so why bother giving them a blaster :P

Well he's definitely not going to shoot anything with today's build. ;) A fun one today with a snowblower. Once I realised what it was I came to appreciate the way this was done.

Another spacecraft yesterday and it's a doozy! They've really gone to town of trying to get these to look right, but the downside is that trying to work out how to build these from a single picture inside the calendar is a challenge. At first I thought we were looking at a First Order shuttle as used by Kylo Ren, but on checking I found out I was wrong and we've moved to the Rogue One film and we have Director Krennic's shuttle. 8)

Yesterday we got a Imperial Officer, presumably here to command Director Krennic's shuttle. Unlike our other baddies this year he at least gets his own blaster. :D

Yet another very well exicuted craft this morning. Continuing the Rogue One theme we get a T.I.E Stiker, the in-atmosphere fighter used to try and stop the rebels from stealing the Death Star plans.

Digging through pawn and thrift places for something unrelated, and found a place locally that has big bins of lego for like $8 per pound. Doing a quick search on ebay, that looks like a pretty good deal.

We're on the home stright now and it's my last build of the year (My wife, daughter and I take turns). Happily it's another top notch one for me with a AT-ST. I've got to say this is something I more associate with Return of the Jedi, but it does make an appearance in Rogue One so it still fits in with the current theme. I have to say that the Rebels are getting very outnumbered this year.

This was gift to grandson (9 yo) this Christmas(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171222/4cb65ec78cfc7ee8545ae2c6baf1f01b.jpg) would have thought I gave him a Red Rider BB gun, he never let it out of sight, even saw him hug it a couple of times, he told me he never thought he would “ever, ever get a City set”.

As part of the movie promo tie in at Carrefour (think Walmart type place) for 2 points and a euro or three euros without points. Scale might be a tad off for reenactments... :facepalm: :rofl:

Those wee packet builds are excellent for distracting small kids for an hour or so. That one captures the look very well I'd say.

yeah I unfortunately didn't get the previous one, same deal... and any lego star wars for a euro is a win for me.

Ah, this thread is where I got the plural 'Legos' for Lego from, look at the title.
By the way, the plural of Lego is Lego. :pok:
Really? I stand corrected then, thanks...
No problem, it's just that it's such a common error.
Imagine everyone saying sheeps instead of sheep. :ahhh
Do you have irregular words like that in Dutch?
Not quite the same, where plural equals singular, as far as I'm aware this instant... irregular plural forms, yes (mostly imported nouns).
I'll get my coat. Carry on...

OK, so as I understand it, it works like this: When we say "lego" we are referring to a single system made up of lots of individual bricks. One system, lots of bricks. One lego brick, two lego bricks.
In the US individual bricks are known as Legos. So not a single system, it's a mass of individual components hence you can pluralise Lego. One lego, two legos.
It's the exact opposite of Math (US) or Maths (UK). A single system/subjact in the US, a collection of sums and equations in the UK.

Well that's where you're wrong. Tina and Len, our intrepid U Boat cosmonauts have discovered vast veins of cheese from the landing site. It's all that's been keeping them alive since their arrival (we took a bit of a chance on this discovery and only packed them enough sandwiches and crisps for 3 days). By their calculations the moon is over 65% cheese, which is nice.

AHHHH :ahhh I already posted this in another Lego related thread.
It is the the 40th birthday of the Lego Minifig, based apon the first issuance of a patent- in this case Denmark.
I'd wish mine happy birthday, but they left a note on the hatch to their quarters (lid of the toolbox) about going to deal with an outbreak of Yet Another Damn Snake Cult. YADSC interventions are what they've been training for for years as RPG props.

D&D?? I've been wondering about using minifigs as mini's for my kids D&D campaign.

D&D?? I've been wondering about using minifigs as mini's for my kids D&D campaign.
D&D/Pathfinder, Shadowrun, all of the above if you use a map.
One thing I find works well is picking up a larger baseplate. Print on adhesive paper what the map scale will be- 1" hex, 20mm hex, 1" square, et al- and put it on the bottom of the baseplate. Then take a coping saw and cut out little figure stands. You can buy 1" hex from a couple of sources, for a buck a piece. I base a baseplate for $8, add some paper and sandpaper I already have, and some sweat.... Tada! One, they work easier on the map, and two, they don't fall over.
And if you think minifigs are pricey, check out the accessories. If you're looking for just figures, I'd suggest Bricklink and go looking through who has what for sale. But if you want to kit them up, sure, sure, Lego has a lot of stuff. But... Brick Warriors. Brick Arms. Brick Forge. Cape Mania. About twenty dozen or so custom printers of minifigs. Plus what you build your yourself. My guys field everything from rocks and pointy sticks to swords and bows to flamethrowers and rifles to vibroblades and masers in the 50MW range. Then you start adding horses and hounds and small boats and motorcycles and speederbikes and starfighters.......

That sounds awesome! A couple years back, when I first started this thread, I collected minifigs. I've since sold all but a few off to fund my Magic the Gathering Hobby(both hobbies are incredibly expensive).
I used a paper map with a simple grid on it and some minifigs for the first one shot I ran for my kids, but now we're in the middle of the D&D starter campaign, "Lost Mine of Phandelver". My son is nagging me constantly for maps and mini's, so I will have to check out getting him his own set up from bricklink I guess.

Thanks Whoey, I fell in love with GT3 RS when I drove my friends 2 years ago (and every possible chance I've had since then).
When I wanted to buy the kit they were out of stock everywhere and fetching stoopid prices on ebay :rant:
-
that is the biggest problem lego has.
imagine that the company itself got those profits rather than someone who snapped up a couple kits at the initial retail price and stored them away until they became rare...
-
They are learning though, they introduced further batches of the Saturn V rocket and that killed off the evilbay market for them
-
yeah I think they need to make smaller batches and then do kits more on demand
-
That would also work :tu:

You... you can do that?! For real?! And make a huge profit?!

:ahhh :ahhh :ahhh :ahhh
Provided you keep them mint in box, and it turns out to be a short production run, and you're willing to sit on that for at least a few years... you possibly can make a profit. I can barely afford the kits I want for myself let alone have a bunch boxed up somewhere hoping the value will skyrocket so I can resell them :facepalm:

The City advent calender is grabbing my attention this year.
https://i1.wp.com/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/media.brothers-brick.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/60201-City-Advent-Calendar-2018-Reveal.jpg?fit=960%2C289&ssl=1
The Star Wars one is cute, but there isn't a lot of figures there that are grabbing me and begging me to bring one home. The microbuilds are cute, but we've seen several of them before.
And the Friends one is just a rip off this year- no figures. Even if the ornament builds are adorable, but not for $30. It's a $20 set and even the it would be highish.

Here's a few of my crew

I am having a large moment of :ahhh
AHH!!!!
About a month, maybe six weeks ago, a PRC court actually ruled in favor of an itellectual property owner- Lego. Lupin finally got spanked for their blatent rip off lines- all they did was change the red Lego logo with their red, square Lupin logo and maybe change a few names but they were stealing not only set design but even box art. Sadly, they are pretty good quality, on par with MegaBlox (maybe better) and actually do have a decent line of original material.
And most of the clone parts are just junk, so they're probably going to be getting spanked to.
This should be good news. Right?
Yes and no. Part of the no is that Lego is just plain expensive. So if everyone is afraid the PRC is going to over-enforce, I see a real danger in Lego becoming something where there is no real option for much of the world's population. It's like why is there value in a QUALITY knockoff of a SAK or a Leatherman or Gerber (or in a current production SOG)? Because while premium brands are better, often times they aren't better enough for a lot of people's budgets.
There are a lot of custom, Lego-compatible niche builders out there. Most of these outfits mold in China, I can only think of one, maybe two, that do their molding in whole or at least large part in the US or Canada.
I spend way too much money at Brick Warriors, for example, so I can equipp my minifigs with arms and armour as I use them for gaming props. And Brick Warriors is going strong (I hope).
Brick Arms appears to be going strong, to, and if you ignore the price if you want a M41A pulse rifle or E11s or FALs, they're the place to go. But they don't direct sell. But BA's biggest distributor is shutting down their website as of tonight- that was not the case a week ago. GI Brick is suddenly shutting down. Order placed last night, and you could see stuff going out of inventory as I refreshed.
Brick Forge has been running a 60% liquidation for a month, and hasn't been restocking since this summer.
Punkpopmunky who mostly sells recolors of other people's work is liquidating inventory.
Brickforces.com (no relation to my minifigs) is running a 30% sale that I noticed the day of the court ruling. Not even direct knockoffs, just compatible- who they are stealing from is mostly 20th Century Fox and Toho, they have nice minifigs of the Predator, Aliens and Godzilla. Their ET is pure nightmare fuel.
Affordable Building Blocks is running large sales, which they normally do leading up to christmas but are still running.I haven't done business with them, so I don't know they are selling knock offs, but their large quantity/low price Stormtrooper boxes make me go "hmmmm". (I MIGHT do business, because they are the only people selling Scouttroopers for less than five bucks a pop, and I want to paint the armour black for Storm Commandos ala WEG)
I think for a lot of the world, this hobby is about to get even more expensive.

Wani Kimk's trench run is AMAZING! For people who didn't read, this is over 8 feet long, uses 80K odd bricks and about a 100 minifigures. I found a reference to it a week ago, and my mind has been blown. To better understand the immensity of this, follow (https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRX_bbnLxV/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet)
My MOCs are clean and simple, because they're used for gaming props, but there are some serious artisans out there.

My memory of the exact eras and factions is fuzzy at best, but I'm not sure that those guys are all friends?
(Space explorers? blacktron?) and the red sets are a later era (Mtron? I think they were paired up with Ice Planet?)
Edit: Internet has corrected me, Explorers was a later set, those blue dudes are team Futuron, apparently the late eighties/early nineties ending things with "on" was the fashion)

MOC?
My Own Creation, not a kit (or at least not built to the instructions) nor a random freebuild. The planned, and often built first in specialized CAD tools (I like Studio from Bricklink), creations of AFOLs and TFOLs (Adult/Teen Fan Of Lego) who have too much free time on our hands. And then you get into the people who talk about being a purist vs non, with purists using ONLY components from The Lego Group (TLG)- I on the other hand will use "some" non-TLG components, but mostly minifigure accessories since my return to Lego as an adult was using them in roleplaying games.
-

Like fashion. I see what you did there :)
I like that in the current Lego Movies sets there are several references to the classic space era (old minifig torsos and helmets).

Great stuff. From memory (Christmases past) white and red astronauts were from the first spacey sets that were mainly blue and grey with yellow windows etc and revolved around a moonbase type setting - very late 70s/early 80s? Then came the yellow ones, followed by blue then black towards the end of the 80s. I could come up with numbers, but I can't be arsed.

MMR, there were some docs in I think Australia who published a paper a few months ago. They all ate a lego head, which is basically a 10mm dia, 9.6mm tall cylider with well rounded corners. All of them were fine. ABS is pretty much biologically inert.
But they ate heads. Not bricks. With the scratchy corners.
If you're going to eat bricks, might I suggest with just a few 1x1s at first? Maybe even rounded ones? Then work up to something like a 2x4 or a larger plate like a nexogon?

So, for everyone who is a Space fan, there is a four pack of Classic Space minifigs out for the second Lego movie. Blue (Benny of the cracked chin strap), white, pink and yellow. And I wouldn't be surprised if we see red, black, grey and maybe green later on in the year, assuming they can find enny one to volunteer. Walmart and Target it have in the US for about $10, Amazon the same.

My daughter just made this creepy... thing :ahhh
-
I like kids imagination :tu: :like:

Minidolls are kinda creepy to begin with. To me, they look like scary elves next to minifigs.
Which works, since the trinity of all fantasy games are humans, elves and dwarves. So for how I use them with RPGs they work. Still creepy. I only have a few, but I only need a few. Their heads are just a smidge wider than a minifig's, so you can migrate their hair over to real Lego people, so if you can buy their hair on a reseller's site you can get some good hair.
And... they have a standard 3.18mm neck stud. Same diameter as a bar. You want decapitated heads on pikes? There you go. Various height bars, minidoll heads, and a bit of silly putty or playdoh, make a veritable garden of them.
-

Well said ironraven.
I've created quite some scary scenes with those heads and other stuff.
Too bad the legs and torsos are basically incompatible with other Lego parts. They don't really fit the System.

-
Well, Lego does break down, technically, into System (the main bricks), Technica (unpowered machinery), Mindstorms (robotics), and Duplo (the big stuff). So no, minidolls aren't really in the "System". But calling it "System" is like saying "comely female" rather than "pretty girl". The former will get you slapped. Calling normal Lego "system", well, you won't get smacked, but I'll think you're a tool unless we're discussing difficulty level of a build.
And yes, there was Klik and Modulex, but they are so rare I don't count them.

So... this isn't LEGO in the purest sense. I play with a tool call Studio for doing test builds in the computer- like most such tools, it does rendering, but it also is from Bicklink so I can use their system to order parts if I feel the urge.
And it will help to be familiar with set 30547. If you aren't, click here (https://brickset.com/sets/30547-1/Dragon-Hunter). If you're wanting, you need to move fast- they hit Walmart and Target's inventories in November at the end of their release cycle. Amazon might still have some. I know my local Walmart is out- don't ask how I know this... :-[ To me, these guys look like the komainu you see outside Buddist temples (Japanese name, shi-shi in China, "fu dog" to ugly english speakers) and I bought several pairs of them. But... I'm looking at them, and the seem small for dragons. Like they're cubs. So I got to thinking, what would they look like fully grown.
Then I got to thinking about their social dynamics. And that they'd be dealing with poachers....
(https://file.bricklink.com/19/899/899617.png)
We now return you to TLG's Wild, Wild World.
My guide and I set out to follow these four young white lion dragons as they left their mother. They've spent the past year with her, and are mostly grown, but aren't ready to be separated from each other quite yet. Normally a litter of cubs would only be two, but these four will need a large area to supply them with food.
Nearing the third sunset of our trek, we came across rover tracks. Fearing poachers, we radioed the rangers, as there is no motor vehicle traffic allowed in the preserve. We were told it would be at least an hour until an aerial search and interdiction team could reach our location. Rather than setting up camp, we dropped most of our equipment. Armed with cameras, our radio, two machetes and a stud shooter, we set out on foot, hoping to at least find evidence of the atrocity we feared.
As the sun set with the suddenness of tropical twilight, we could see the headlights of the poachers' vehicle perhaps a mile ahead. They'd herded the cubs against the river, something these young ones had never seen before and were afraid to cross. We set one camera on a tripod, and left it to record as the frightened cries of the four could be heard as we got closer But we were not alone in tracking the poachers.
Unlike actual big cats, males of the Draco Pseudofelis genus do not routinely attack cubs who stray into their territory. Many of them actually seem to like young ones who've reached the age to leave their mother but aren't yet fully grown. Pseudofelis noir, or the Black Blade-lion, in particular is quite gregarious, with brothers often staying together for many years, and even adopting cubs of other species in their second year.
A roar cut through the dark savanna. And then there was screaming, and the pop of stud shooters. And then... much less screaming. And then the rover's lights went out.
My guide and I stopped maybe a hundred yards away from where the rover was and surveyed the scene with the combination of night vision and a telephoto lenses. The Comic Code Authority has deemed the footage of the cubs being rescued too graphic for day time television. I won't even try to describe what I saw, other than night came alive and it was unhappy.
Then the wind shifted, carrying our scent towards the dragons. You can see here the Black Blade-lion's head as a just dark shape above the grass, while it's tail blade scythed the tops off the grass. The camera's night vision captures the brightness of the eyes, but not the redness. This male could smell us, and we smelled like ABS.
There was no point in our running as it dashed towards us. I hurriedly pushed my guide's stud shooter down, and slapped it out of his hands as I hissed 'don't move, for the love of Vitruvius'. And then he was on us. Even the relatively low resolution of the GoStud strapped to my chest could capture what happened next clearly.
Only a little taller than the cubs, this male was much wider, and much stronger. Look at the power of the shoulders and haunches. The fore-sickles of this blade-lion and the length of the eartennas spoke of a male who's lived a long time, but had lost none of his strength and cunning. He spotted the stud shooter and pinned it under one of his massive paws while he sniffed first my guide, then me. I was trembling as he sniffed at me, red eyes gleaming under a slivered moon. As his mouth opened, I felt small. And recyclable.
Then he licked my face.
I probably tasted good. I could feel my body clutch in fear.
Then he stepped back and watched us. As he did so, a smaller white face appeared in the grass. Then another. Three, four. They each sniffed us, and chirped and clicked to us and their new friend. He relaxed considerably- had the cubs told him that we were safe? That they knew us?
That was when the rangers arrived. The five dragoncats looked towards the sound of the tilt rotor and tensed. As the searchlights came on, they disappeared into the grass. That was the last footage we got of them.
And the poachers?
We all know dragons of all types are intelligent. But what happened to the poachers has caused me re-evaluate what I thought I knew about them. Not only had the poachers been disassembled, their parts had been arranged in alphabetical order by the blade-lion. A not terribly subtle message that couldn't be accidental.
Of course, when the rangers investigated the area around the rover, they took us into custody. It took all of our recordings to convince the rangers and the magistrate that we had not been the ones who had killed the poachers....

speaking to one of the guys at work, he picked up a UCS millenium falcon on sale for 520 eur. They retail for 799. He said it's still sitting in the box unbuilt, and he's undecided to build it or sell it at some point. :ahhh

Kid reckons because I lost the rangefinder while taking medical bill pics I now have to buy her the 20th anni slave 1.
It's not quite as expensive as that falcon but it still ain't happening.
-
The painter is better than anything I can shoot- I have never gotten the lighting to work for something like that.
And in terms of the lost part, rangefinders from NZ sources. They'll work with most Grand Army of the Republic clone troopers and any Boba which has holes in the helmet.

I've assembled 5 of my 8 non Star Wars sets (those are already assembled) and am up to 27 parts missing, mostly very small parts, but a couple humdingers that will be more expensive to replace. I have built and disassembled the sets, but kept them separated by set from the rest. I'm not 100% sure I remember all the sets I have, but I am now pretty close apart from perhaps some minor additional parts sets.
I have 2 more space and a castle set to go. Then I can finally inventory the rest of what I have.

Thanks guys. The tea and snacks were not included.
But seriously, those building techniques are ridiculous. Especially how they designed the octagonal shape of the lower part (the descent stage).
It reminded me of the Saturn V set which was my previous favorite one :)

Bit mean of you to provide tea and cakes - if those poor astronauts dare partake, their faces and insides will be sucked into the eternal void of space.

Cool, it matches your user icon quite nicely.
I see them @ Amazon Germany for €14.99 right now ;)

I attribute a lot of my childhood development to LEGO, that and a slingshot is about all you need :hatsoff:
No kids so I'm not in the market, but living in a 3rd world country wrong end of an exchange rate I know how much the stuff costs :facepalm:
Colleagues and friends that managed to breed are a different story, and I applaud them for going to the expense.
Both friends and colleagues have separately mentioned a chinese knock-off that looks identical down to the last detail......except for the LEGO brand.......and 25% the price.
Anybody aware of this?
Is this like the Ganzos from the Byrd factory?
Just a very good fake?
Compatible?
-
I hate those knock-off brands. Yes, there are a few proper ones with good quality bricks and their own set designs. Other brands make exact copies of official LEGO-sets and MOCs. And some of those brands are of such low quality it's almost funny. Except it's not funny.
-
Cool, it matches your user icon quite nicely.

it was 22euro when I checked before I grabbed it in the shop...now 14.99 of course.
As for knockoff sets, I have been tempted, especially on sets that I will likely build only once to display. Even if you have to buy a few correct pieces it's still a huge savings.
Currently I have no knockoff sets but do have some alternate branded stuff that does not exist in the lego world, I feel those sets are not taking anything away.

To use a multitool analogy...
LEGO is Victorinox. You're paying for the 99.99% QC. The average person has never seen or heard of a genuine LEGO set or SAK that wasn't 100% correct, with missing or malformed parts.
The mega block guys are like a Chinese clone, with some interesting ideas and cheaper prices. They have much poorer quality control, and they aren't in a close-by country (from the local jobs, locally made stuff aspect).
And LEGO has paid for the construction of enough wind turbines that they're 100% green from the electricity aspect.
That's not to say not to buy that chinese clone. ;)
They're the ones who have HALO, etc Lego-style sets.
They're mostly compatible, if the chinese bricks aren't the wrong fit (QC again).

We just opened another Friends set (41375 (https://brickset.com/sets/41375-1/Heartlake-City-Amusement-Pier)). It's awesome. But my OCD is killing me...

I was referring to the grey bushings and the universal joints, I think the elongated holes should align :facepalm:

I must admit the photo isn't very clear.

the great thing about lego is that it's open to your own interpretation... I usually try and fit all the extra bits in...

Just discovered today that my Milennium Falcon was actually the first one that Lego released.
It was in my old Lego box, partially broken to pieces because of laying sideways all these years.
Naturally, being released in 2000 and me being 9 years old, the box and manual are missing.
So I've rebuild the missing parts using the online PDF from Lego themselves.

I do wonder what the value of it is nowadays?

I think I love the Star Wars Advent Calendars as much as any set - As the designs are just so clever - They really look like the real thing.
And just think - You can build a MF in eight pieces compared to 8,000 for the Collectors Edition
Although this is our first year without a Lego Advent Calendar - :(
We did the Harry Potter one last year - That was pretty good too
-
With the BB8 jumper I'm assuming this is Poe Dameron. With my wife, daughter and myself all being left handed it looks like, in this house at least, Poe gets to be a lefty too. :D

So today I checked the websites again.
3/4 stores changed from "out of stock" to "no longer available"
I noticed I didn't have a bookmark from one certain store, since yesterday it appeared they didn't have the calendar anyway.
I decided to have a look again on that website to make sure and used some different keywords in the search bar.
Success; found the calendar listed.
"Online out of stock, click here to check store stock"
So clicked "here", entered the postal code and noticed all stores in a 60km radius were sold out except for one that said "limited stock left"
That one store, is in a city where I have to work today, and is 300m from my jobsite.
Can that be called coincidence??
The store opened at 10am, so drove by quickly and made sure I was a little early.
Traffic was busy and somehow it felt as if everyone was heading to that store all of the sudden.
I arrived 10min before opening time, and noticed people coming out with purchases!! :ahhh
Tried to get in quick, but the elderly lady in front of me took the time to desinfect her cart in the middle of the entrance :facepalm:
In store I had to follow the designated walk-around... Obviously behind the same elderly lady. Aaaargh!
Managed to reach the Lego dept. and went on the hunt.
Took me about a minute before I spotted the calendar. Last one!! :woohoo:
One row further... Another one?!
Edition 2018, also Star Wars, in clearance, 50% off...
I guess I'll have 2 hatches to open every day now, and 6 tonight :ahhh

Feel free to post anytime Gareth.

I totally forgot to post a pic yesterday so you'll just have to accept a two for one today. A very nicely printed Rey yesterday and a very festive D-0 today. I'm sorry to say I'm a little down on D-0. In the final film it's just shoehorned in there for no reason other than to add another cute Droid to sell. :shrug:

Before I forget to post a pic again. I like a mini-fig well enough but it's the clever interpretations of the vehicles that I always find the most fun and this one is no exception. It's "the one that Obi Wan and Qui Gonn use in the first prequel that gets blown up" or, a Republic Cruiser, which is a little more snappy.

So; a blue podracer? I think? :shrug: A slightly low-fi build this one IMO. One that, a few years ago would have been par for the course, now stands out as being a bit too simple. So simple that I'll admit I could be looking at it completely wrongly and it's actually some kind of Capital Battle Cruiser.

Last few now. A good old Stormtrooper. Not a Sith Trooper, not a Clone Trooper, not a First Order Trooper or a Death Trooper, but a good old original Stormtrooper. 8) New sculpt for the helmet from what I'm reading. Looks good to me.

Is he yellowed or is that just the lighting in the picture?

Lighting!
Thankfully...

Yeah, just the lighting. :)

OK, this is a neat enough little build, but I have to admit this was the first one this year that I had to look up. If you know what it is then it's actually a decent representation but it had me stumped.

Any ideas? No? See below.

That's quite neat! Plus you saved yourself a Bob or two on the larger version.

It's the spitting image of the big one, to be sure! :2tu:

And that's it, done for another year. Merry Christmas my fellow Lego fans. :cheers:

Many thanks Mechy!! My wife and daughter made him up while I was out walking the dog and had (understandably) missed it in there. You've just made my daughter very happy. :cheers:

I've finally made the big jump into Jeep ownership, luckily this one is a little better on gas, and actually affordable to modify!

That looks like it will be fun to build Whoey.

I saw some good reviews on it, only downside is it's not one of the motorized ones... I sense the need for some lego kit bashing in the future...
Still happy with it as is, especially with the similarity with Grant's yellow Jeep.
Still on the lookout for a good deal on the land rover kit.

I just bought an 18 year old set second hand. I'm a space nerd and I love the Mars Exploration Rovers. Especially Opportunity, that brave guy who drove more than 45 km in 14 years.
This set is pretty cool, lots of Technic functions packed in a small model. And it looks like the actual rovers.

I jusy bought the small ISS from 2004 (#7467) second hand but it's incomplete and yellowed. Also have the Ideas Curiosity Rover (#21104) on the way.
And I bought the #7470 Space Shuttle second hand and the latest one (#10283) directly from Lego.
Did anyone manage to get the Ulysses probe?

Yes it’s one of my favourite sets as well. I’ve been into Lego since the early 80’s. During the first lockdown here in the UK I found a lot of vintage sets in storage and had great fun building them again. I have lots of Lego Star Wars, Castle, City and Technic sets. Then after that I started buying lots of new sets. To date according to Brickset I have 326 sets.
I’m now trying to complete my collection of Lego modular buildings and have thirteen sealed sets so far. The first three vintage sets are very expensive especially sealed in the box.

Copied from The Hustle:
Lego’s latest project: Greener bricks
While a part of us wishes this were a story about a new Lego brick that inflicts less pain when stepped on, that’ll have to wait.
Recently, Lego engineers have been hard at work developing recipes for cleaner, greener bricks.
The company recently announced a recycled brick prototype
Over the last 3 years, a 150-person team at Lego has tested 250+ formulations to create a brick from recycled plastics.
The prototype, which uses plastic from recycled bottles, is the 1st to meet Lego’s quality and safety requirements. According to Lego, a 1-liter plastic bottle contains enough plastic to make 10 2x4 bricks.
The hard part: building recycled bricks that are just as strong as the old ones.
Researchers have found that a single Lego brick can withstand 950 lbs. of force, or the weight of 375k bricks on top of it.
It’s not Lego’s 1st sustainability play
The company has said it’ll invest $400m in sustainability through 2022.
In 2018, Lego started using bio-polyethylene made from sugar cane to produce some of its softer pieces. (Does that mean there are sweet Legos?)
In 2020, Lego said it’ll start eliminating single-use plastic from sets.
This is cool and all, but we’ll truly be impressed the day they announce that painless brick.

My first Technic model...a McLaren Senna GTR. I have a funny feeling this will probably not be my last model from the Technic line. This one rang up at 830 pieces and is 32cm or 12" long. I found it interesting that the steering works, and when you roll the model you can see movement in the engine compartment.

Trigger pulled on the Technic Land Rover... Best price I've seen and I reckon it will be retired soon. That's the 4th kit added currently unbuilt, including the new Star Wars advent calendar.
And I probably won't have a chance over the holidays as we'll probably be in Spain
Still looking for a decent deal on the technic Dom's charger to add to the collection.
And yes, none are planned to stay boxed, I want to build them, just not had time.
Also planning to build a baseplate wall behind my new desk to display some of the kits. (Did some Ikea Lego assembly recently!)

The Land Rover is a great set. Make sure you take your time when building the drivetrain and transfer box. Can be a real pain to resolve any issues once built.

Day 1 (if anybody cares ;) ) It's a very strong start with Mando's "Razor Crest". Odd to see this one again so soon, we had it in the 2020 calendar too. It's a slightly tweaked design though so not a carbon copy of a year ago.

Very nice I remember the one from last year. I’ll open my calendar later today and build mine.

It's definitely a better rendition of the Crest. Most notable is the fact the engines are now more accurately further out from the hull.

Day 2 and already I'm stumped. Something Nabo? Cloud City? Nope, I had to go look it up. See if you can work it out without looking up the answer. Not a bad wee build though, just very obscure.

Glad to see it is a real Stormtrooper and not one of those silly New Order ones!

Day 4 sees our Stormtrooper get a big jump in firepower, with a E-Web Heavy repeating blaster (the bane of Drop Troopers and Cantinas everywhere). I have to say that I think the stud shooter rather spoils the look of the thing and it's better left off.

I put 4 antenna feet... they provided... the directions image is unclear...
yes... the stud shooter... what is that all about.

Day 6. A good step up from yesterdays targets. Imperial Troop Transporter. If I'm getting my Star Wars lore correct this was added to the Mandalorian based on an old 1980s toy that had never actually appeared in the original trilogy. Nice wee model but I think might have been better with three of the "doors" down each side. (though that would also mean a different construction so might not have been practical)

Targets were a huge let down.
Yesterday was more redeeming.

Day 7.
OK, cards on table, I got this one wrong. I had ID'd it as being the landspeeder taxi that Mando takes back to the Razor Crest in the very first episode. However, on checking, it turns out it's Mythrol's (quite similar looking) landspeeder that comes to an equally sticky end.
https://jaysbrickblog.com/star-wars-2/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-2021-countdown/#day7
-
Day 8. Only the second mini-fig but it's a good one. Love all the detail on the Tusken Raider's head.
-
It's funny you should mention the landspeeder at the beginning of the Mandalorian. I have to say, that is one of the things that absolutely hooked me on the series.
Brian Posehn, who played the driver is a great comedian, an absolutely huge nerd and metal head. I remember seeing him and thinking "this must be a dream come true for a guy like him!"
While he was never seen again, he at least has some serious nerd cred for having actually had a speaking part in Star Wars! :tu:
As for the rest, I'm loving watching these being revealed every day! It gives me something to look forward to at work!

Star Wars has been great for letting some great actors show their geek side.

Day 9. So what exotic Tatooine location is this? Jaba's Palace? Speeder race course? Mos Eisley? Raider Camp? Oh, it's a plie if rocks with a Gaffi Stick. ::) The SW advent calendar always includes a "weapon rack" of some kind, but this one is particularly uninspiring.

So they're called "stud shooters". Stick a stud on the shooter and press down on the grey lever. Stud will then ping off, utterly miss what you were "aiming" at and you'll then spend 5 minutes on your hands and knees trying to find the missing stud. ::) (which is still better than the idea of finding Lego with your bare foot)

Day 11. If I've been a bit "meh" about some of the last builds then this one makes up for it in spades. An excellent X-Wing. If I'm being fussy then I'd say I prefer the more pointed nose we got last year rather than the slope piece, but the blue stud for the R2 unit is better than the white. This year shown vs last year.

Day 12 (half way there!) and we get a good old TIE-Fighter. Not the most complicated build we've had, but very effective non-the-less.
-
Having built yesterdays and todays kits both today the tie is a bit of a letdown vs the xwing. Could have used a trans red/yellow stud for the engine exhaust
Would be neat if every day had some spare bits that eventually allowed you to build an extra item on the 25th
That being said, and on the ballista topic, this goes well:

Day 13. The Imps get some back up. I've always loved the look of the Scout Trooper armour ever since I first saw it in the cinema back in the early 80's.

The scout trooper was absolutely the coolest armor!
Although I often wondered what good a scout with very limited peripheral vision was, but hey, they definitely looked cool!

You're right. You are way overthinking it, but you are right. :D

Day 14 and a second weapon's rack. At first I thought that maybe it was supposed to look like a fireplace but, no, just a bit of grey wall. The good news is that it can only go uphill from here. :D
-
A poor attempt to make it into something like what I think it should be. :D

Day 15. From a grey wall to a Speeder Bike! Not just a Speeder Bike, but one that is usable by a Mini-Fig. :ahhh Not sure we've had a vehicle build in a Calendar that was figure usable before.
-
That is very cool!

Day 16. A lava barge (I think). If I'm right then I love the little astromech but the boat bit feels off.
(edit- yes, I'm right in the ID, but apparently they call it a Keelboat. It's not how I'd have built it. :-\ )

Looks like a lot of parts coming together for that one!

I definitely had to consult the diagram several times on that one, I made the same mistake on the exhausts but realized before I finished completely.
I don't get the logic on why some items get loads of extra bits and others are exact only (typically the ones with least parts).
Found some extra bits the other day not in the package but inside the window. Nothing overly exciting... The stud launcher trigger and the barrel of the gun... Maybe from the actual item, I am stuffing each item back in the window after the build

It's the fact that everyone gets the same extra bits and that they don't make anything that always puzzled me. :shrug:

Day 18. Yet another Imp! The baddies are coming thick and fast this year. So, it's an interrogation droid. A lot better known for it's appearance in "A New Hope" when Leia is being questioned on the Death Star. However Mando does shoot one when reclaiming the child after reneging on his bounty. It's...OK, I guess, but so very simple after yesterday's Light Cruiser. :dunno:

Day 20 & 21. Sorry for missing yesterday but I've not been very well (norovirus rather than covid). So yesterday we got IG-11. One of the cooler characters from series 1. Today we get our THIRD weapon rack. ::) I've been buying the SW Advent Calendar for quite a few years now and that feels like a first. Anyway, at least we get something for IG-11 to hold and what is a pretty good representation of Mando's long arm.

Norovirus is a nasty one. I hope you are feeling better!
The IG88 is very cool too! I wonder if Djin's rifle is a hint of what's coming next? :popcorn:

Cheers Grant. The norovirus has been doing the rounds here. My wife brought it home, my daughter got it, and now it's my turn. ::) It's been many long years since I last fell asleep clutching a washing-up bowl and I hope to never have to do it again.

Day 22. Baby Yoda (the Child/Grogu) in a festive jumper and scarf. Comes with a very handy-dandy baby carrier.
-
Day 23. Penultimate build for this year and we have an alternative method of transport for little Grogu. Anyone would think he doesn't have legs. ::)
-
Day 24! It's no great surprise to find Mando behind the last door of the year. Love the detail on the Beskar armour. It even has the Mudhorn sigil on his pauldron. 8) Is it a little churlish to wish he came with his jetpack or a shoulder cape?
Overall this has been a very up and down year. Some excellent vehicles builds and the mini-fig scale speeder being great, but weighed against three weapon racks, two targets, and some very low brick count builds too.
-
Will build the rest when I return from Spain. Pretty much what I was expecting from box art.

Too many spoilers on the box art for me. I'm possibly just being a grouch though. ;)

Around Christmas, I was able to buy two sets of Lego 3 in 1 Space Rover Explorer sets. I also went to the Dollar Tree and bought a few cheap base plates and other small packets of bricks/people to make this setting for an empty spot I had in the upstairs games room. 1 set was the Rover, and the other became the base.

A shame, but hardly surprising I guess. :-\ Looks like an awesome kit.

Batman’s Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy. A Lego knock off bought and built during the lockdown in 2020. Not on par with Lego, just passable. My inquisitiveness and thriftiness got the better of me .

Looks like it would keep you busy a while.
Spotted today while walking around town, in the window of an architect office that usually has architecture kits, and they built a custom town hall (which the office is literally facing)
It is partially built with all the bricks sorted in cups on either side, they must have been missing a piece because I saw an envelope from Lego through the mail slot on the floor at the door.
Kit is up on Lego ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/s/p:783bb99ed379462e9ef25f22c37ca134
Obviously supported! Even has lots of seagulls like most places in town...

Nice :tu: I love to go and check out Lego Ideas from time to time and I've bought a few that interest me. I wonder if that clock is a custom piece. Never seen one with white hands before.

Nice, seen it and Mandalorian one several times but not at a price I am comfortable with yet... But I guess I need to pick one up soon before they retire it and the price becomes even more outrageous

My grandkids are into LEGOs. And after seeing my grandson having the full set of these characters, I located these few at a Walmart in bags and grabbed a handful.
This is what I assembled -

No kidding, just returned from 8 yr old grandson’s and after a couple games of checkers this morning, I notice a Lego Character book, on the chair. And, thought I will be cool and share pictures on my phone of the few muppets I had…
No ooo! The book I saw was one of several, and then I get invited upstairs and he shared with me a part of his Lego figure world🤪. Hundreds, maybe a couple thousand. Harry Potter characters, enough to film a movie, Star Wars guys, and Ewoks and Clones and droids, enough to populate a small world. Then Looney Tunes, ScoopyDoo figures, and Batman various versions, bad guys too. And then just regular folk. And that was what was out on display…
Not a slippery slope, a massive sink hole from my view :facepalm:
He knew ivalues, how many duplicates, rarity, and dates of introduction,’and more. Quite impressive for a 8 year old.
I took a picture of his Bruce Wayne head on a Batman figure, also, one of my favorites the Tasmania Devil from Looney Tune set.

I thought my MT and knife collecting was obsessive, of maybe my Hot Wheels cars, NOPE. THE BOY HAS A ROOM DEDICATED TO Lego figures :facepalm:
I have one grandson financing college expenses by selling and buying Comic Books, another buying and selling collectable Lego sets and and in collector cards.
And I am really mad now realizing would could have been if my dad had not burned my baseball cards and comic book boxes after I did not move back home after college…

Those are great! I fear minifigure collecting is a slippery slope...
Every now and then I start looking at eBay for minifigs...
And I quickly stop myself because I wouldn't slip down that slope, I would strap a jet engine to my arse and swan dive down that smurfer.

I do love Lego Technic models. This Batmobile was a very nice kit to assemble. There was only a few times I misread instructions, or they were not clear enough...but I managed to figure out my mistakes. With 7 bags of parts, this one took me 2 days to assemble. Well worth the money. In fact, today, after completing the model, I thought it just might be the right size for a Batman action figure. I was right. I found one at the local Walmart where I got this kit. I think it adds a little extra to the model.
He looks good and actually fits inside this fairly large model.

There are 2 light bricks in this kit. Here is the one in the forward compartment which is activated if you move the throttle inside the cockpit.

The model has a rotating knob located on the top of the roof. Turning this turns the front rack and pinion wheels. Pressing the rotating knob also activates the second light brick. This one illuminates the engine. Rolling the model forwards or backwards also rotates that rear wheel with all the flames, and also the pistons move up and down inside the clear engine.

I picked up 3 new sets this week... I must be ill.
Technic batmobile (the one Chako posted earlier) for 65€ + 25% voucher to store account
Mandalorian helmet for 45€ + 25% voucher to store account
Fast and furious Dom's charger (also one Chako posted earlier) for 16€ I think it was.
Just under 100 for the 3 after refunds and credit.

That is a good deal.
I have also been busy building some more kits.
Third party Technic car. This was a hard model to build as the instructions were so small that I needed to use the zoom feature on my cell phone to read it.

I have the speed champions set too.
Still boxed up in Spain.

It is a great set. I was amazed at how long the dragster is. I also forgot to take photos of 3 batmobile cars I recently made as well. Also currently making an off brand technic style Wallbot bought off of Amazon as a STEM RC toy based on Disney's Walley.

one of my favorite 3rd party brands is Cobi (made in Poland) I just ordered the big PT boat and I have a lot of their tanks. Cobi is not as good as Lego but close and getting closer and the price is nice ;)
-
I also have a thing for brick tanks. I think I now have 5 models built so far.
Here is the latest, a WALLROBOT based shamelessly on Disney Pixar's WALL-E. I must say, it was a fun little build and the end product is good enough to display on a shelf. Remote control thread movement. The had rotates, and the arms are somewhat poseable. The hands can grip stuff...but the only thing RC about this guy is the movement of the threads.

I like the BlueBrixx designs (currently building the Astronomers Lighthouse).
Yeah Lego might still have the best bricks, although they are slacking (especially on color fidelity and prints) and the competition gets better. But quiet frankly, Lego sets are boring to build, they lack detail and are crazy expensive.

they (lego) are super expensive! totally agree but I have tried some cheaper brands (Chinese) and while they looked really nice with great detail the build experience was terrible, constantly fell apart during confusing assembly and if you tried handling it after parts flew/exploded apart! and terrible instructions that were so bad it did make me appreciate Lego more ;)

Lego are also made in China (or now Vietnam). And you know the Chinese, they produce for everyone. So good chance that your non-Lego bricks come from the same factory ;)
So, falling apart is not a problem anymore, at least not with the established brands (Cobi, Xingbao etc.). Quality of the competition really has improved a lot in the past years.
Bluebrixx stones (I think they are Xingbao bricks, but I'm not sure) hold together as well as Lego. They have the higher color fidelity. However, they have a fairly visible casting point from where the sprue was.
As for the instructions. Well, for many you can check out current instructions (download them as PDF, even Lego offers that :tu:), see if it suits you. From my experience they are good. However, they certainly use more advanced / complicated building techniques. At the end of the day, most now also have different difficulty/age levels.
I'm currently building Lighthouse of the Astronomer (https://www.bluebrixx.com/en/neuheiten/104382/Leuchtturm-des-Astronomen-BlueBrixx-Special) from Bluebrixx and it is a lot more difficult to build than anything I had from Lego. But it also has a completely different level of detail and not just on the outside, on the inside too. It is so much more fun than building Lego. Then remember that this costs about $240 (I actually paid $210 as Swiss VAT is much lower than German :D)

Apart from the Christmas starwars Minifigures not really anything overly exciting to me... But I figured why not.
Need to stop buying and start building, but as my wife pointed out, no display cabinet to store in.

I ordered this one off of Amazon as I was intrigued by the model. The instructions are on par with Lego, and so are the bricks as far as I can tell. There was 1 little missing piece but they included another piece that seemed to work in the other's place...so no big deal there. The guy comes with a stand, and is very poseable. Makes for an awesome static piece for display.

Yeah, the design and colour is in that group so I was thinking some kind of Droid as well. The built "guide" on the advent door shows the thing standing upright, in an apparent effort to really throw you off. ::)

And have you see all the recent 'Adults Welcome' Lego ads - We have a lot of these on the telly at the momemt - They are targetting us folks!!

Day 5 was a Battle Droid. They're pretty much a guarantee in these calendars, but no less "meh" for all that. :shrug:
-
Day 6 and this is more like it. Again, I have to admit that I couldn't place it at first, but there are so many ships with the same design aesthetic I don't feel too bad about it. Once I knew what it was I had an "of course it is" moment.

Day 7. If I didn't know what this is, then I have no reason to call myself a Star Wars fan. Obviously Luke's Landspeeder. The miss-matched engines are, I think, supposed to suggest a missing cowl from the port side, but I don't think it's a detail that really works in such small scale.
Edit - seems to be that we are done with the Old Republic theme. I try really hard not to spoil the fun and look to see what we get every year, despite every seller trying to show the entire content ahead of time. ::)
-
So after the first week of Advent I think I can safely say my favourite build was way back on day one, with the Clone Trooper Gunship.
-
I didn't guess the Bad Batch ship- I thought it was Darth Maul's ship, so you got me there.
I rather like the mismatched engine on Luke's landspeeder. It really gives it character and makes it stand out a bit.
As for the Battle Droid....

Day 9. First of the Christmas special Mini-figs. C3PO with R2-D2 Christmas jumper. I like the fact he's got the silver leg detail. My daughter is all about the mini-figs but, for me, I find the ship builds far more interesting to do.

Day 10 and it seems we are still stuck in the sandy wastes of Tatooine. A moisture 'vaperator might be vital to life, but is a little dull if you're a trapped farm boy.
-
No wonder Luke was so excited to into town for power converters!
Def
-
Day 11 and we have a...second landspeeder! I thought I knew what this one was but wasn't so certain that I didn't want to check. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it speeder that you see when Luke and Ben are first arriving in Mos Eisley. Neat build, if a little obscure.
-
Oh for goodness sake, I forgot one. :doh:
All the way back to Day 8 even. At first I admit I thought it was another Imperial Shuttle of some kind, but given we're in the Tatooine phase of the calendar I wasn't surprised to find out that it's supposed to be Luke's T-16 Skyhopper. The very think for shooting Wamp Rats. Also extremely good training for flying an X-wing it would seem. As a build I do question the very Imperial grey colour choice and the top "wing" is disproportionately thick.
-
Day 12 and 13 ('cos I'm really not being organised this year)
Yesterday you can even see Darth Vader in the background of my photo of the T-16. Wearing fins and a summer tank top...obviously. Jay's blog does a far better job of shooting the details than I've managed so I do recommend you have a look; https://jaysbrickblog.com/star-wars-2/lego-star-wars-advent-calendar-2022-countdown/#day12
Today I did manage to work out that this was supposed to be a sand castle (bucket and spade being a massive clue) but I failed to work out what it was based on. My mind was stuck on Tatooine.
-
There is lots of sand for building castles on Tatooine! :D
Very cool stuff- I must admit that I had been looking at Vader in swim fins in the previous photo and thought it would be cool if they actually did that... and lo and behold, there he was! :D
As for the skyhopper being Imperial grey, why wouldn't it be? After all, Luke was trying to go to the Imperial Academy at that point!
Star Wars would have been a very different series had Uncle Owen not successfully kept Luke on the farm!

It's a fair point Grant. My memory says that the T-16 model you see Luke playing with is more sandy/creamy in colour but I could be way off.
Day 14 (before I forget)
A nifty rendition of a B-Wing. I did wonder if it might be a Resistance Bomber at first, but no, definitely a B-wing. If I'm being super picky I'd say that the cockpit doesn't really convey the roundness of the real thing. Also in grey. :think:
-
Imperial grey was probably on everything, for no other reason than it was probably produced in such high volumes to cover all of the Imperial Fleet that it not only supported entire planetary economies, but also was dirt cheap for anyone looking for a decent, inexpensive paint for their starship.
And why not? All of Star Wars boils down to finances, trade and politics! :D
That's probably one of the things that fascinates me the most about Star Wars- you have magical wizards with swords made of light, you have spaceships capable of travelling anywhere in the galaxy within a few hours, you have an exceptional gallery of rogues only overshadowed by a variety of creatures beyond our imagination.... and yet it all started with trade disputes which lead to overbearing governments, which got so bad that a guy who made his living smuggling drugs was the good guy! :ahhh
And that is totally not why I have started installing secret compartments in my Jeep, no matter what anyone tells you! :P

Jedi style :like:
...fun pics Gareth :tu:

Penultimate day brings us a very festive Santa Gonk Droid.
I'm glad you said what it was. Not sure i would have gotten that from looking at it.

Might have to find a set to self gift to have something to put together during this downtime
-
Well, that's it. All done in what's been a very quick month so far. Pretty sure it was November last week. :think: Clearly we have a third Christmassy Droid; R2-D2 with jumper to complement C-3PO's. Thanks to everyone who has followed along. :salute:
-
Thanks for sharing it with us Gareth! It's been a fun ride!
That R2 is very cool!

Personally I'm very much hoping for a Andor themed Calendar next year. Best bit of Star Wars made since Empire Strikes Back IMO.

It certainly did have its moments, and the droid B2EMO would be pretty easy to make in Lego!

I've been avoiding buying Lego, and then one of my nephews gets me this set for Christmas! :facepalm:
I will still do my best to resist the urge, but there are cracks forming in my resolve! :ahhh

And yes, that is me in a Batman shirt. :facepalm:

Resistance is futile. :D
I bought 7 3d metal kits last year and built 4 of them over the holidays. I will say, third party ones are not as good as the metal earth kits. I had to throw away 1 of the airplane models due to lack of proper instructions combined with poor laser cutting leaving micro metal bridges that frustrated me something fierce. At least these guys did allow me to not buy more Lego stuff recently.

That's a great looking set there boss. :tu:

Thanks. The box said 4 and up, so I managed it with only a small amount of help from my nephews! :D

Thanks for the daily calendar updates Gareth - really enjoyed following along - Even though we have one too.
.... I was tempted to steal your thunder a couple of times - As our day starts 11 hours before yours - But managed to restrain myself ... ;)
@ Grant - really really nice set.....
However - Batman and Star Wars ..... Are you having problems living in the real world? / Leaving your childhood? ....... :pok: :rofl:

I've never left my childhood. My toys just got more expensive. :facepalm:

I second that...for myself lol.
Here are the 4 models I made over my Christmas vacation. I know they aren't Lego...but since I mentioned them in here...

Good day everyone. I have been somewhat busy with LEGO once again...however with other kits I can find online. A few weeks ago, I built my largest set yet with the purchase of a Mould King Black Pearl ship kit, weighing in at 2868 pieces...this model took me well over a week to finish with life intrusions and all. So big in fact that it wouldn't fit where I thought I would display it...so now it fits in my bathroom. The ship is 76.3 cm long and 61.2 cm high.

I did encounter an issue with the Captain's cabin. Every time I attempted to put the sides on, the rear would fall apart as a portion of it was held with only a single strip of bricks. After some swearing and cursing, out came the plastic cement, which fixed my issues.
Here is the Black Pearl which dwarfs all my other Pirate Ships builds. The model was so tall that it wouldn't fit on that top shelf. I didn't like where it was in this photo as it was a bit sketchy and I would cry if it ever fell into thousands of pieces. It now resides in my bathroom where it fits nicely.

I just finished this Nifeliz T28 super heavy tank model that contained 2986 pieces. Almost 400 of which are tank threads. I can tell you that building 4 tank threads of 98 pieces each was time consuming. I guess this is my largest piece count model to date. I have never built anything from this Chinese manufacturer, and was a bit worried about the instructions. I should have had no fear as the instructions were for the most part good. there were a few instances where pieces were added into steps that you didn't know until you were a little ways past in the built as they would show up on later photos. I guess I now know why this kit was billed as 16+. Nothing too horrific, but it did keep me on my toes...which I sort of enjoyed for the most part. The model is fairly detailed, and came with 6 mini figures.
Engine compartment details.

One thing I did notice with this kit, and possibly something to think about these Nifeliz kits, the brick holding power is not as good as the LEGO industry leader. I found myself having to compress the bricks on occasion as I handled the tank during the build. Nothing terrible by any means.

I haven't done anything with Lego for quite a while now. My sidekick has almost all of my old bricks and things. I did hang on to most of my old Lego model kits though.
Recently I picked up one of the build on mugs and decided to add a space shuttle.
On the handle, I added a Victorinox Rally with a brick added to the back scale.
Now I'm on the hunt for a couple thin baseplates to add to the sides.

Does it take a hot coffee/tea without melting, leaking or awltering the flavour? How did you managed to get that SAK to hold on to the handle?

I picked up the Concorde, with 40596 Magic Maze for free.
A colleague brought me 76900 Speed Champions Koenigsegg.
I also picked up the 2023 Star Wars Advent (75366).
I really need a good display case and to throw some time at building sets... I'm pretty sure I have at least a dozen in the queue now...

YAY! I’m waiting for double points to get my Concorde. They say it’s a great and fun build hope you agree. I did just order the Marvel “The Guardians' Ship” for 127 (Amazon) on sale cheapest ever! :o

As it's rather large I've not even cracked the box yet. Ideally I'd like it to live in an enclosed case... as we are currently in a furnished apartment there isn't really space for much more furniture...
I was going back and forth about getting it so early, and I really regret not getting the UCS slave one when it came out and was actually affordable... also given how popular it seems to be, I thought better now than pay even more or worse not find it later...

I wonder if a wall-guitar-stand would work, seems big enough ;)

Last month, during the Chuck Yeager challenge, Patch helped me open the 2023 Holiday Express Train kit for my granddaughter.
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Once built, she thought it was cute and set it out at the Christmas tree.
Me, I thought it was just short and needed something extra so the Boss Lady picked me up several sets to play with. I had 4 sets at $4.99 each plus pieces from the box of Legos that have gone from me, through my kids down to the grandkids. Some of these have to be over 50 years old. I've still got some extra trucks and a set or 2 connectors so I may need another car.

I think it'll go on the mantle next year for Christmas.

My lovely wife got me a little set for Valentine's. A fun wee build I thought. (Classic for scale)
