That's a beautiful set

What are you building, Anonymous Poster?

Post your squads! I want to see your cool minifigures.

>>11467003
A tower that splits in two, with hands and eyes emerging from it, and countless mouths filled with teeth and minifigs eaten alive in agony, like Hidden Side, but actually good. Perhaps I'll add ghosts too. I'm still not decided on tower's color, but that's my main idea.

>>11466992 (OP)
Monkie Kid died for this

>ninjago will be 15 years old in 2026
Where did time go?

>>11467017
Good

I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth, and now I understand why Lego didn't make a D-Rex set, it's barely in the movie. I'm surprised they included raptors in the sets, though, since they only appear for about 15 seconds. Meh, it’s a mediocre movie and will probably underperform. On the plus side, the Lego sets are pretty accurate to the movie! However, I would’ve replaced the raptors with Mutadons in the sets, since Mutadons appear in the same locations where the raptors show up. I still think they should’ve made Superman sets.

>>11467017
Did they ever sell Monkie Kid sets in the west, or was it always China/Online only?
I've never seen a single one at my Lego store, its just always Ninjago.

>>11467055
I think the first 2 years of monkie kid were in physical lego stores worlwide too, before they moved them to online exclusivity.

>>11467051
D-Rex had like 2 minutes of screentime, I guess they didn't kill him off for sequel bait or to be different from previous JP films (each film killed the villain dino), though he wasn't a villain either. Dumb movie.

>>11467062
But no batmobile?

>>11467051
I still think it's hilarious humiliation for Lego that the AI Named their set "Brick-Built" how could they put that on the box? so embarrassing

D2C: 10365 - Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Black Pearl (18+)

>Includes 2800 pieces
>Minifigures: TBA
>US $TBA ($369.99 is my guess) - DE/FR €TBA - UK £TBA
>Release: SEPTEMBER 12TH 2025

>>11467066
We know lego uses AI with no shame

D2C: 10356 - Star Trek: USS Enterprise D (18+)

>Includes 3600 pieces
>Minifigures: Picard, Riker, Worf, Geordi, Data, Dr. Crusher, Wesley Crusher,
Troi, Guinan
>US $399.99 - DE/FR €TBA - UK £TBA
>Release: NOVEMBER 28TH 2025

>The Enterprise D set appears to be approximately 30 cm or more in size (not minifigure scale), and above the head of the Enterprise, it says “U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701 D” (though it's unclear if this is a sticker or a print), while the windows are also represented with either stickers or prints; the head is detachable from the body, and the display stand is black, shaped like a wide-legged capital “A,” and includes a black (or possibly brown) nameplate on a 4x4 plate, with a gray platform designed to hold the minifigures that features black parts and blue Star Trek text — the included minifigures are Worf (holding a small 1x1 grey piece), Data (with a cat), Geordi (with a grey briefcase?), Riker (with a giant yellow wind instrument), Picard (with a goblet), Dr. Crusher (with a grey 2x1 brick), Guinan (with a green water bottle?), Troi (with a grey 2x1 brick), and Wesley Crusher (with a grey briefcase featuring blue lasers on it).

>>11467068
Apparently Barbossa isn't included in this set and I ask, why?

>>11467068
This will be $400 and paypigs will eat it up

>>11467072
I'm so mad with Lego's downward spiral into multi-hundred-dollar sets

blah-blah "piece count" blah-blah "value for the money" blah-blah "but... new molds!" Aaaaargh!

I would much rather buy a $50 set each month, and -eventually- wind up with the Star Trek bridge crew. maybe a couple extra Picards and Datas, Troi in a couple outfits. That cool Romulan guy or whatever. "Shaka when the walls fell" guy was in a small set!

nope. your ONLY option is to buy it all at once for FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS. suck it. oh, and you better wake up early and stand in line on release day, if you want the shuttle pod with Ro Laren, because that's the only way you'll get it. while supplies last.

sooooo mad. It's like, I'm glad Lego made a Star Trek set finally, but you have to stand there and let them slap you in the face for it.

>>11467092
The set is not even minifig scale and they ask for $400

>>11467094
I also bet this gwp will only fit 1 minfig inside

>>11467071
To make mousecucks double dip, naturally.
>>11467072
Can't keep a pig from slop.

>>11467094
I mean, of course it's not "minifig scale" that's ridiculous, the ship is huge! it would be the size of a bus.

I do expect it to have a hollow interior with a bridge set, but it's going to be the whole saucer section. most Enterprise toys do that.

if it's just a solid ship with a lame display ledge for the crew, that would be such a fail. they better not be that lazy.

>>11467105
Read description >>11467070
It's literally that, no bridge

>>11467105
I expected a small section like the super star destroyer had

Crazy they make these big ships and no interior, atleast something small

>>11467094
Floyd, when the knee fell.

>>11467068
I wonder if they will use the fortnite designs

>>11467051
Damn and I wanted to watch it... now I'm gonna skip it, oh well

>>11467167
Yep

>>11467100
>can’t keep a pig from slop
I like you.

>>11467070
>it could have stickers
>it's probably gonna be £300-400

Just fucking kill me now lego
>>11467122
If they could have fit the whole bridge in they probably would, the people buying this just want a display piece not something to play with.
Just look at the latest UCS X-wing, it just about minifig scale but you still can't put luke in the cockpit without taking his legs off.

>>11467066
>>11467069
retarded samefag

>>11467227
Even the UCS Falcon, which is the closest thing to minifig scale Falcon, has like 3 corridors and cockpit where you can kinda fit the minifigs, everything else is structural

>>11467227
Doing this with Lego would be hard.

>>11467167
>>11467051
I was honestly excited for both 28 years latern and Jurassic World.
both seem to be disappointing.

but then again what new AAA-level thing these days is not disappointing..

We need to go back

>>11467257
PLEASE PLEASES PLEASE where are these posters from!??
I remember I used to have the one on the very right, but for years I tried searching for it and I cannot remember if they came with certain sets

>>11467262
I'm not sure. I remember having the one in the middle but the only sets of that wave I had were 6268 and 6271. So, it was either in one of those OR it was a promo in a comic book or kids magazine.

>>11467262
This website: http://www.rittersets.de/piraten.html
says that those posters were included (from left to right) in 6264, 6286 and 6296.

>>11467147
OP's mother, her legs wide.

>>11467105
I'm hoping it's just the leaker being retarded and thinking "minifig scale" means 1:1. If it really has no bridge then that's tremendously gay. Why even choose the Enterprise D when the bridge is the most iconic part of it

Begos! Playing with my begos makes life worthwhile!

>>11467296
>The Enterprise D set appears to be approximately 30 cm or more in size
I'm kinda curious as to what this means cause if it's only a foot long then that's not very big, but any other way it'll be a decent size.

>>11467051
>>11467066
Do we know if mosasaurus uses prints or stickers? For body and eyes. I can't tell by looking at it.

This will make or break my decision if I should buy this set.

>>11467296
>>11467303
According to aclaybricks on reddit, the original leaker is esl, apparently the size is actually 60cm not 30cm.

>>11467325
all prints

>>11467330
Kino

>>11467325
>>11467330
the box would have said
"Brick-Built with Stickers Mosasaurus Boat Mission"

>>11467070
the ONLY reason to make the ship super-huge "worth" $400 is to have a hollow inside with the bridge.

if it's a solid ship, they could have made it a ton smaller and NOT charged four FREAKING HUNDREDS dollars

if it's a solid $400 ship with just a display stand for the crew, then it's confirmation of Lego doing an evil villain flex. "we could have made this a lot more affordable, but we don't have to, so of course we'll charge you whatever we want, and of course... you'll pay. PAY! Mwa-ha-ha!!! you have NO CHOICE! you want it.... pay."

oh yeah, and you could have put a smaller Enterprise on a regular shelf, but now you need a coffee table in the middle of your room for this $400 huge monster of a set. surely you have coffee table size display shelves in your mansion or giant studio Manhattan apartment, right?

We got an update on enterprise d from leaker

>>11467466
Reminds me that I haven't bought Bumblebee yet

>Winner announcement in 18 hours
If we don't wake up with another delay, final bets on the winner? I pray it's X-Files.

>>11467474
I got Bee on a tremendous discount, paid like $50 on it. Great deal.

>>11467480
These are the other finalists of this challenge, only one will be chosen to become an official Lego set.

There's another 90s challenge for a smaller scale set but the winner announcement got a 50 day delay for some reason (also both of these challenges have a Buffy project in the finalists list, so take that as you will).

>>11467480
>>11467488
X Files will win because they are preparing us for project blue beam/alien disclosure. They got Spielberg on the phone doing another alien film and the title is DISCLOSURE.

Everyone is on it, Disney is doing a X Files reboot too, Lego is on it now. Wake up people!

>>11467480
It's gonna be Buffy

>>11467480
>>11467488
Anything other than X-Files would be a stupid pick considering the recent resurgence of interest in the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I say "resurgence" but I guess it never really went away, just look at how long Ancient Aliens has been running. But on Tiktok now especially people lap that shit up. It has the others beat in cultural relevance too, at least if we're going off memes. And that poster is just too iconic.

>>11467480
Fuck, only now I realize this diorama remakes the x files "I want to believe" poster. Genius.

Imagine they released an original theme that consists of the classic Lego factions but fantasified.

Human lion knights
Orc wolfpack
Dwarf black falcons
Elf forestmen
Undead fright knights

Kids and afols alike would be all over it and Lego would have found another evergreen theme like Ninjagay. DnDs success should tell you there's interest but Lego doesn't need to be paying Hasbro for generic fantasy archetypes.

>>11467529

WHY????

WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? FUCKING WHY? WHY LEGO? WHYYYYYY

>>11467533
There could be a furry race that's asiany

After all classic ninja was a castle subtheme

>>11467541
The idea for the fire knight mech was to add knights to ninjago

They are just gonna make a knights vs ninjas wave, there's already concept art for a scrapped ninjago ninjas vs cowboys wave

>>11467538
We lost, afols won

>>11467400
The fucked up thing is that in the same year they'll release pic related and argue
>we made it small because people would want something that fits on their desk instead of something huge

>>11467538
This is your reward for all those "please buy me" posts you made about the Deku Tree. Now you taste the ZeldaChad's pain. Suffer like G did.

>>11467538
Just don't buy them?

>>11467638
But I WANT THEM

>>11467657
Then visit your local happy merchant guild.

>>11467400
Star trek would lend itself incredibly well to a ship series like this, which of course means it'll never happen.

>>11467677
I doubt we will get more star trek sets, maybe we get one more based on the original series in 2026 for the anniversary but that's it.

>>11467325

Ridicolous, even considering it's a little harder to fit the bridge in the Enterprise complex structure, there must be room for it.

>>11467488
Would pay 300 for the Scissorhands castle

>>11467689
oh you can be 100% certain that Star TREK Lego will sell like water in the desert. even for $400. that's the reason it IS $400. we should count ourselves lucky that it's "only" $400. if they thought they could get away with more, they would have done it.

since the (pardon the pun) Data will show massive (a more obscure DS9 pun) profits (prophets? get it?) they will indeed make a $400 Star Trek set once each year. no need to over-do it.

--at least Kirk's Enterprise, one or two of 'em (TV series and movie versions?)
--probably Voyager (Seven of Nine with bonus Borg Queen will sell for $400 easily)
--maaaaybe we can get lucky with a smaller Defiant from Deep Space Nine instead of a $1000 station? Lego will probably opt for the $1000 station (if the new 1K Death Star sells)
---the other 'Treks probably not. it would be amazing to get a Cerritos but nobody else knows what that is lol and even I don't think I'd want Archer's NX-Enterprise so...

>>11467718
No playsets? Doesn't star trek have any buildings?

>>11467712
Are there people who like stickers?

>>11467724
MOC builders prefer stickers because they want the pieces without the prints on it

>>11467062
When will they give Mad Hatter a minifig?

>>11467729
You're just making shit up. Prints can be removed

>>11467720
pick any episode, any series, and there's likely a place and characters Lego could make an excellent set out of.
but Star Trek is not going to be "a theme" that "gets sets"

It will be about milking money out of the hungry fans at the gulp-iest rate possible.

Only massive ships. Only $400+. once a year. Lego has "learned" they can do this, with the Lord of the Rings sets.

if we are lucky, we'll get Picard keychains in 2 years, and maybe in 3 or 4 years they will put Data in a polybag sitting in his Fajo Collection chair among other fun relics. (not in his uniform of course, but it will be the head piece and the hair they used in the $400 set) but that will be a gift-with-purchase when you buy $400 worth, so it will still "be" a $400 "set"

be certain that Lego doesn't "care" about Star Trek fans, they "care" about that money.

People with experience selling/buying Lego please help me:
Let's say I want to sell a lot of valuable things(mostly classic minifigs and rare pieces) but I want it to be a one and done situation(as opposed to like opening a bricklink store and selling things gradually here and there till eventually it's all gone). Now obviously it's not like a single person is gonna be looking exactly for all I have to offer so I understand I have to sell my stuff below the market value so that someone who's more active in the business can buy the lot and eventually resell things individually for more money.
So my question is how should I gauge how much do I have to price things down for buyers to be interested? I add up the value of all individual things(by checking on bricklink for the lowest price its selling for) and then take down how much of the total value? 10%? 25%? 40%?

>>11467854
You could check the value and add it up, but you absolutely don't get the full market value with just a bulk lot

>>11467854
expect half. whoever you dump it on (local brick n mortar 2nd-hand store luckily near you?) needs to profit, and they expect to sell it for the market value.

nearly every industry that offers trade-ins of any kind, will offer half the value.

your best bet is to isolate the few super-valuable minifigs you have, and dump the bulk for the half-value. it's likely that you can bridge the gap significantly with only a handful of the most valuable things

>>11467234
They have no excuse at the $400 price point.

I need a name for a fictional space subtheme that would have been released in mid nineties. A civilian faction.

>>11467947
Averagians

>>11466992 (OP)
>see the adventurers amazon temple set at a bricks and minifigs

I know that's about market price, but fuck it's still ridiculous

>>11467474
>>11467482
Local store has him for 80€, which feels reasonable to me. Should I?

>>11467947
>>11467949
The bad faction theme is UFO
The good faction theme is Robo-Force
The Civilian faction 1 theme is Explorians
The Civilian faction 2 theme is ???????

>>11467968
Terrakiens
Cosmonoids
Astropolis
Galaxia

>>11467980
What would they do ?????
like Explorians are explorers
M-tron where rescue faction

>>11467995
Miners and/or spacecraft manufacturers

Something with an industrious vibe

>>11467998
not sure about miners , rock raiders are coming in 1999 , this theme would have ran from 1995-1997
also mtron where miners in american catalouges. I was thinking terraformers

>>11467968
>The bad faction theme is UFO
In the Insectoids story bible it explains that both UFO and Insectoids are rebel groups escaping from a tyranical emperor.

>>11467854
You could try a Dutch auction on Facebook Marketplace. Put it up for a bit above what your price estimate is, say $400, and decrease the price by $20 every week or so.

What's this thread's thoughts on unlicensed minifigures and kits? Like Brickmania

>>11468111
Blasphemy. You should only purchase Official LEGO® products.

>>11468111
You mean third party stuff? It’s fine. I’m super autistic about official lego only (lego conditioned me good) so I don’t want it in my own collection but I have no problem with other people doing it. Sometimes I feel people are better off using third party stuff in their builds. But I’m going down with the official lego only ship

>>11468111
in the beginning, you could use your bricks to build whatever you wanted.

100 years ago when Lego first did a Star Wars X-Wing, it was a revolution. the one that you built was garbage next to the "official" Lego model.

then, Lego made a "new" X-wing. and again. and again.

why would Lego do that? What was wrong with the first "official" model? that was THE OFFICIAL Lego X-Wing!

every time Lego re-builds something, you start to get the idea that maybe... the one YOU built... wasn't so invalid after all.

and if THAT wasn't invalid, why should it matter if the piece was NOT Lego, too?!

some of those 3rd-party minifigs are made with the same spirit of art design, as if they are trying to match the Lego figures. if they were on the same shelf, would you even notice they were not "official" Lego?

eventually some non-Lego thing will be so good, that it won't matter that it's not "LEGO". that's up to you to decide when that is. built by you vs official model, brick made by Lego vs brick made by 3rd party.

Wanted to ask because Brickmania does some pretty cool war themed sets. Idk if this is overpriced but I got this minifigure for $14.

I'm not out yet and I've already been forgotten

>>11468145
Yeah that’s cool brother. It sounds expensive to me but so does everything right now. But, here’s the kicker: you need to build something for him. A little bunker or Maybe a vehicle to drive around in. Doesn’t really matter what it is but dont just buy the dude so he can be displayed on a black stand. That won’t do.

>>11468158
I am saving up for one of these bad boys because I'm literally new to this community. Well kinda. When I was 15, my dumb ass donated all my old lego pieces so I have to start from scratch again.

>>11468171
>new here
Welcome. there used to be a plastic building block general but I haven’t seen it in a while. It had a lot of stuff like this. Be sure to post the dude with the tank when you get it.
>I sold off my legos when I was 15
that is a common occurrence. You hit the age where you feel too old for plastic bricks. And you want 500 bucks for video games or impress a girl or something. A few years go by and regret hits

>>11468192
My biggest regret is losing the original Lego Temple Escape for Indiana Jones before it was re-released for like $400

>>11467636
forgot to check back here when lego debuted the scrimbo toothless, but.
what was everyone's reaction to it?
I figured there were pages filled with unhinged laughter at this and the HTTYD fandom who thought they were going to get something of ninjago scale.

I haven't re-hung my speed champions display I built or unboxed any bricks since I moved out when my ex of 7 years ended the relationship... I just want to enjoy lego again bros

>>11468210
Pretty much yeah. Itbeen the laughing stock online since the reveal.

This was peak minifig. It was a mistake to go beyond the simple yellow smiley.

>>11468248
The peak imo was the 90s style with the smiley with extra features. A mix of plain smileys and smileys+ is perfect.

>>11467854
50% of market price is the standard when dumping in bulk to resellers. Only exception is if you have rare Star Wars stuff because that always sells fast.

>>11468111
Custom pieces are fine, my main problem with it really is just that the people doing just weapons seem to basically do nothing but real world stuff. I went to brickfest this year and wanted some retro rayguns for because I like they ways more then the bulky official ones only to see not one vendor has them. What I find genuinely concerning is the knockoff minifigure market, it feels like it has become way bigger then I ever expected it to. I went to C2E2 this year and found numerous booths were nothing but cheap minifigure clones of pop culture characters. I have seen these before at things like conventions and flea markets but never this many in one place. Most weren't particularly cheap either at about $10 per minifig, they were raking in big money with these booths. I really wonder if lego will ever start to take serious action against whoever is making this shit.

>>11468248
Nah, I do think they should have made all faces modified versions of the basic smiley but I think minifigures started to look significantly works when they added the white pupils. The black dots really look so much nicer.

>>11468171
>$100 for that
Buy some bulk used parts and build your own. It will be way more cost effective and also more fun.

What's the lore on mars mission, why were the sets so badly designed? They have a lot of neat design concepts but the actual builds are pitiful.

>>11468275
LoM>>>MM

>>11468275
Some of the larger Mars Mission sets were pretty good, like the one with the bucket wheel buzz saw assembly.

>>11468297
This is also true, though Life on Mars also had some weird or half assed builds. The human rocket comes to mind.

Reunited at last

>>11468111
I bought a few anime minifigs from a convention once, they're pretty neat.

>>11468302
>Life on Mars also had some weird or half assed builds
Agreed, the humans were mediocre but the Martians were the best aliens Lego has done to date.

I heard the ideas sets they will reveal in about 5 hours are x files and buffy.

>>11468302
I need to collect both themes, got a few MM sets as a kid so it's a good starting point. Plus the themes only lasted a couple years each so should be easy to get them all, relatively speaking anyways.

>>11468275
Is this the worst cockpit lego ever designed?

>>11468375
nope

>>11468387
That's literally how she rides her mech in the game, though - she lies down on her belly and uses a pair of joysticks to pilot it. The only reason this looks odd on the minifig is because she doesn't have a neck and can't look up.

>>11468406
>The only reason this looks odd on the minifig is because she doesn't have a neck and can't look up.
Or anything to attach her to.
You CAN make her hold onto one of the "joysticks" but it's fiddly and looks awkward.

I don't even care that much about the one cloth piece I just hate grubby lying subhumans. Thanks for the free set, dipshit.

Give me all the pieces for I must feed.

>>11468275
It was theme created by skilled artists but a beginer designer

>>11468302
Yeah because the 4 legged driller was supposed to be Powerminers set designed by skilled guy

>>11468336
Yeah the martian mechs were extremely satisfying in particular, a big step up from RoboForce (which I also enjoyed). A great precursor to Exo-Force kino.

>>11468374
Should be fun, post pics as you get them. You can have them face off against each other.

>>11468449
Please do elaborate on this deep lore.

I hate buying or selling on eBay because the user base is so awful. My mom used to make these charming little hand sewn bags and sell them on eBay for like 20 dollars in the mid 2000s and people repeatedly tried to mislead her or scam her. It stressed her out so much that she quit after a few months.

>>11468506
Alien Conquest bros...we fucking WON.

Now I can finally complete my XCOM base. I'm really hoping they do something close to the submission because it looks perfect for MOCs.

>>11468506
$320 + tariff + tip

>not 18+
>no black box
>$200
We have to go back. The future was looking so bright

>>11468583
what was the first ever black box set?

>>11468587
Soi Wars helmets iirc

>>11468583
when palm trees used palm leaves instead of a contrived mess of inverted ferns

>>11468583
the only solution to escape the downward spiral towards $400 black box 18+ sets, is to not buy them.

I simply can't afford to spend $400 on Lego, all at once. I can buy a cool new set for maybe $60 tops (argh why can't this be cheaper?) a set on clearance? it's got a couple of cool things, sure. eventually I might spend $400. but not all at once.

but it's not up to me.

or you.

there's nothing "we" can do about it. those ridiculous sets SELL. for whatever reasons. FOMO. Fear Of Missing Out. if you don't buy the $400 set NOW, it will cost you $800 later. it's the only way to get [blank]! the set has piece count, value, new molds, it all sounds logical.

so -people- buy. and Lego will keep doing it. massive profits. minimum effort. I almost want to get a protest sign and picket in front of the Lego Store. "Don't Support $HUNDREDS DOLLARS$ sets!"

>>11468592
>Fear Of Missing Out. if you don't buy the $400 set NOW, it will cost you $800 later.
Don't forget you can't even try to wait for a good discount because in that case you won't get the exclusive gift with purchase that compliments the set!

>>11468587
Rivendell was the work of art, massive, beautiful set that cemented the "value" trend

I wonder if Lego themselves are stunned these sets move. D&D, Zelda. how are people spending $300+?!!! who cares! keep doing it!

there's simply NO reason Lego couldn't offer a $40 set with Link & Zelda. except if they did do that, the $300 set wouldn't sell. and duh, Lego wants you to spend $300 instead of $40.

>>11468592
>>11468594
Also most sets are lego store exclusives so say bye to discounts

>>11468599
But they would sell more $40 sets than $300 sets!

>>11468594
oh yeah, that, too.

remember when the free gift with purchase was a polybag? and you had to only spend $40 to get it? and if you missed out on getting it "free" you could still buy it later for only $5?

now the "FREE" GWP is the equivalent of a $30 set, and you need to spend $300 to get it. combine the FOMO, exclusive [thing], limited-time-preassure, miss it and you'll NEVER get it again?

aaargh it's worse than the $300 sets

>>11468592
This.
I have a self imposed $100 limit on sets.
I might spend $400 on toys but not on a single big black box dust collecting shelf warmer.
The old man had a click and build model of the enterprise D back in the 90s I might try to grab one of those off eBay instead.
This things like forty bucks.

>>11468601
you would think so, but that's not the case, apparently.

if the sales data supported that, then Lego would switch to it. the success and continuation of the $300 sets means it's "working" and there's no need to offer the less-profitable sets

>>11468526
They’d do Buffy before jumanji. Fags love Buffy. Lego loves fags.

>>11468592
I spend 1k€ on my car this month. Would I be happier if I spend that on Lego? Probably not.

>>11468610
I actually wish they did Buffy for the cheaper set, both x files and buffy at the same time would have been glorious. But x files was long overdue, maybe we get Buffy in Icons close to the revival.

Hey, Enterprise will go on discount at some point, and you’ll be able to get it for $300. You’ll save $100 for other sets. Just play it smart and WAIT — it’s that easy.

>>11468612

>>11468621
Tbh, while it looks good, it doesn't look like an $80 set to me. I might not even get it with a sale cause I'd rather get something more substantial

>>11468111
I want more third-party stuff but the third-party stuff that exists now is mostly big/display afolshit whereas I want the smaller to medium sets that made Lego good back in the day. If Lego had more direct competition, particularly in minifigures (they shouldn’t have that trade mark, mega was very based for taking away their brick trademark) then they’d have to compete a lot harder and be less anti-consumer.
Brick mania specifically I feel some of their accessories that they stock are over-detailed and look ugly as a result this isn’t exclusive to them and even Lego do it too themselves but it’s still bad

>>11468621
the /lg/ board is quite the negative place. I'm not sure why, but it is.

people don't even post MOC pics. if they do, others just comment on how terrible it is, and discourage people from even trying.

anything positive (congrats Lego, I really like [blank] set!) is seen as propaganda shilling

there's only a small sense that some Lego employee is lurking, and might take some comments back the the Lego execs. "people are upset about $300+ sets, sir." "Harrumph! sales data shows those sets sell! keep making them!"

>>11468621
I like it and will probably pick it up eventually, but you have to admit that the City Space stuff is a little on the generic, "NASApunk" side of things design-wise, as opposed to the more creative models in the older space themes. It's disingenuous to suggest that people only care about the logo that's on the box and nothing else.

>>11468616
Like I said, fags love Buffy.

>>11468622
>>11467100
>can’t keep a pig from slop
Pay up pay piggies. I’m sure the secondary market won’t be retarded at all.

>>11468637
I agree. I have the new spaceship but it's rather generic looking and the only really neat thing about is the rear section having a detailed interior that can be separated to become a ground base, which still has some issues due to needing pieces to plug the holes that you can't store anywhere on the model.
My favorite new space models are the rovers, which do both hold up well even against most classic equivalents, though I prefer my space themes with more interesting color schemes than space shuttle white (same reason Futuron is my least favorite classic space theme).

What are we expecting?

>>11468650
>My favorite new space models are the rovers
same, picrel is my favorite of the subtheme. the suspension makes it a lot of fun to play with, even if the springs are a bit too tight

>>11468658
>>11468506

>>11468658
$300+
"piece count"
"value"

though X-Files might not be as popular as Star Trek, D&D, or Legend of Zelda, so it might drop to Jaws or Twilight level and wind up $200-ish

could we all hope that Lego would "try" a mere $50 set? with like the four main characters in an office? just to see if they can do quantity sales vs bulk profit sales?

>>11468679
Boss, we already know what the sets "should" look like >>11468506
>>11468513

Now how much they will change it depends, they might make it bigger, doubt it will be smaller because the challenge was more into 2200 pieces type sets and the DnD set didn't change that much from the original idea.

>>11468658
>>11468679
the post is referring to the winning fan design for the ideas contest >>11468506

it's 2,020 pieces so it would most likely be around $200 unless they decide to downsize it for the retail version. I guess they could upsize it too and make it another $300 set, but I'm not sure how unless they add another level

>>11468460
I already have the MM Mothership and Drop Ship, just gotta figure out what I'm gonna get next

>>11468691
They didn't change much the dnd dragon keep set from the initial idea and that was also a contest set like this. I doubt they will change it much, maybe add more or other characters.

>>11468703
>maybe add more or other characters
I wouldn't mind another monster of the week or two, Flukeman would be great. Otherwise they could have the Lone Gunmen.

>>11468621
I like city space.
I head canon then as early explorers that don't have invisible forcebuilds and haven't been melted by the void of space to have featureless :) faces.

>>11468263
I'm kind of stupid though. I struggle without instructions. I'm one of those people who struggles without visual guides but can somehow churn out a 50 page thesis on why a random ass temple in Egypt was one of the most important buildings for Hatshepsut.

Though I will say Brickmania has a lot of bad accessories. I thought the dough boy helmets were cute but the guns are a bit annoying. The shape is too realistic so I cant put it into both hands of the minifigure. But the design also makes ot that I can't have them holding it up to their eye even with one hand. So either it looks ugly failing to hold it with two hands or I have to pose it running while one hand carries the gun by its stock.

Ngl I'm completely lost and don't know where to start. Are there instructions online of older models that I could try build myself? Idm medieval castles.

>>11468513
If I get this I'll need a matching 1990 Ford Taurus

>>11468691
That wouldn't entirely be a bad price for that lego idea, but that set in particular doesn't look that interesting

Jang being positive about lego again after like 50 hate videos feels strange.

As a kid, I used to think the enemies in Lego Indiana Jones were so cool, then I grew up and learned history. I still think they're cool, but in a different way.
If Indiana Jones comes back again, they should make a wide range of enemy troops, instead of the one they made for the recent revival. Imagine an enemy battlepack, I usually think armybuilding is cringe but I'd make an exception for these guys.

>>11468906
anon surely you understand that there is a 0 percent chance of a nazi battle pack ever happening

I have to ask, what is wrong with you fags that spend 400 bucks on licensed sets? Is it for the minifigures? You do know you can easily customize your favorite characters at this point in time. You also don't have to buy licensed sets for these stupid prices, let me tell you a secret, you can literally fucking build better sets, for cheaper, because it's fucking LEGOS! You can just buy bricks or boxes full of parts and figures from dumb moms on facebook or yard sales and build that house from that movie or tv show you like, or the ship from pirates of the caribbean without getting cucked by overpriced plastic bricks. Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you all?

as far as anybody knows she is [for you] and [you alone] with a not too subtle... please keep watching

some old guy gave her a 1985 space set for free at a convention and she was mortified to accept it, but wound up in a position where she took it anyway rather than make a big scene. if she had a bf there, that old guy woulda got slugged in the face

I got most of it back together to see what I was working with. This is the result. The whole thing smells of rotten chicken so a heavy cleaning is coming up after a soak in some diluted white vinegar. Hopefully the rest can be found when I go back.

>>11469021
Many people are uncreative and dull. They don’t want or probably even understand the fun or actually building stuff with Lego themselves, creating their own narratives, expressing ideas in space, they want banal familiarity. I recall the anon who had that huge combined castle, ninja, pirate, tribal moc and its funny to think how it probably cost him less than the licenseslop collections of all the people who buy those given how kino his stuff was

>>11468934
TLG has owned BrickLink for a very long time.

>>11469021
yes 100% it's for the minifigs.

Lego knows this, that's why they do it. ($400 sets)

you can make a Starship Enterprise all you want with your pile of grey bricks, but you gotta have that crew to fly it (or um... stand next to it) and for that you need Lego to make those minifigs

and if Lego gave us Link in a $5 polybag, we could build the dang tree ourselves, but Lego profit was only $2.50 instead of $250.

it's why Lego has shifted to more-accurate hair pieces and special-molded accessories. so your custom-made cobbled-together character looks like garbage if it's not accurate.

it's a preview for what Lego Pokemon will look like

>>11469275
It's bizarre that's what they decided to do with the Looney Tunes license, especially considering they created all these unique molds that could be put to use. I would be down for a proper Looney Tunes theme.
On that note this Tweety (and Roadrunner) is also beyond cursed. Tweety(and Speedy Gonzalez) should have used the dreamling body while Roadrunner's whole body should have been a unique mold. It pisses me off they made a fucking Petunia Pig fig instead of Elmer Fudd/Yosemite Sam/Foghorn Leghorn/Pepe le Pew. If they were that desperate for muh female representation I would have accepted Witch Hazel or Penelope.

>>11469300

Any sellers ITT? Have a lot of LEGO sets and random branded shit I got from LBR over the years. The aprons and merch I've heard that Bricks and Minifigs give a pretty decent chunk for literally zero effort. As for the sets I'm not sure if Bricklink or Ebay would be better or if there is an even better marketplace to flip some LEGO products.
I have some stuff I haven't seen on BL or Ebay, not really trying to set up a store, just pay for a couple vacations and a new phone.

>>11469479
I like Facebook Marketplace because you don't have to deal with paypal, shipping, taxes, etc.

If you got to choose a theme for the next cmf, what would you want? I'd love a set based on famous painters and their paintings. An example being Remberandt and Captain Frans Banninck Cocq from The Night Watch.

>>11469504
At this time shipping is really my only option, plus it opens a broader market for the stuff I can't find for sale already like my old Play Day boxes and exclusives I can probably get a good buck from. Also would have to reactivate my Facebook which I'm not really too keen on.
Realistically I just have to sell my Darth Revans and I will be set for a while and just keep sitting on my mountain of sets until either they appreciate over $100k or the market crashes entirely (most likely scenario).

they skipped all the "human" characters like Elmer, Yosemite Sam, and Granny so they didn't have to commit to minifig heads vs molded sculpts like they did with The Simpsons, even if it gives them a weak excuse to avoid the "violent" characters, keep in mind that set was released during anti-violence trends

I'm not sure what the reason was to make Tweety and Speedy Gonzales huge minifigs instead of mini-scuplts, or Road Runner as an awkward minifig

No set for this mf?

>>11469592
they were wise to keep that mess out of the commercials. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I've seen spoilers of this, and I want to see the movie less now.

It's barely in the movie—two minutes, tops. I'm not surprised Lego didn't make a set of it. They probably wouldn't waste a new mold on it, so it would've been brick-built anyway. Plus, the creature wasn't kept under wraps to avoid spoilers because the D-Rex has a lot of toys.

Elmer and Sam would need to include shotguns and dual pistols. that's close to Lego's no-guns-war type of policy. and clearly it's a different sort of real violence compared to Bugs' wacky anvil antics.

I'm not trying to make excuses for them, it was a cowardly situation for them to avoid the history. I mean, they had to scrounge up Lola Bunny and Petunia Pig to include "girl" characters. what's the right word to use... politics? it's not quite "agenda" level decisions on which characters they should have included

Because she's based, waifufaggotry aside, she actually has kino taste and her mocs are way more soulful than most lego 'tubers. She's a classic fan like a lot of people here and not just an afol who got into it for UCS garbage during covid.
I have friends who are way normier than me who spend way more on lego because they like those display sets, even though I'm an autist, I don't buy many actual sets, mostly just random bricks, because there are so few cool small sets now

Hey zoomers, which year did the lego zoomer era start? I discussed this a lot and I said 2011 was peak zoomer era.

>>11470455
2006 begins the zoomer era, zoom zooms are right age for lego, it ends around 2016.

>>11470452
Does she live in Canada?

>>11470455
I'm a fairly early zoomer and I'd say I started on lego in the mid 00s. Star Wars was huge at the time but I was also into Vikings, fantasy castle (once the extremely mid KK2 ended), aqua raiders, and Piraka bionicle.
My friends were also into harry potter, indiana jones, and the early modular city sets. I'd maybe date the zoomer era to the start of the eye glint on the minifig heads, which i like because I grew up with those faces but understand why others don't.

good morning saar

Here’s my results, all cleaned up and rebuilt. I had to dig into my bag of scavenged fakes to complete. It also doesn’t smell like rotten meat anymore. Made the roof removable and rebuilt into a doll house style. I will gift it to a neighborhood kid. Too bad the bricks weren’t real. I could have used the sloped roof bits for my own builds.

Zoomer here, I would say 2004 or 2005. Fleshies was the real beginning of the end I would say, once minifigures started getting white pupils at the latest. After RotS hype lego really went in on SW shit.

>>11470154
I don’t collect. I build, rebuild, and then do it again.

Talk me out of buying this.

>>11470678
- Think of all the other things you could possibly buy for that price
- Take the cost and calculate how much/for how long you have to work to earn the equivalent amount you would spend the set.
If after this you still feel like buying it, give yourself a 7 day waiting period to see how you feel. On the 8th day, if your interest has not subsided then by all means do it.

>>11470432
I wish I was more into playmobil because they seem to balance original themes and licenses really well.

Welp, bought more lego, and helped sort a giant pile for an hour and a half, was fun. Also can anybody Id this piece? Has the lego branding so pretty sure its legit, plus those lock on stud axels on the bottom

I know some people might be sensitive about it, so don't freak out at this suggestion, but the only improvement I can think of would be to use fleshie colors if you could. (since she's a character from a thing) otherwise I think it's great

Stop. I really do appreciate your childlike wonder and the fact that you actually play with your sets, but in no way, shape or form does NASAslop merit a "-tron" suffix.

>>11469904
>>11469905
>Citytron uniforms used for a completely aesthetically and thematically unrelated set
I kinda hate this. They just plain don't match with it. I get that they're not exactly about to make new prints or reuse previous "retro" style CMF outfits for a random GWP, but even Classic Space figs would've worked better since they're closer to the style of it and they've already set a precedent for just throwing them into whatever. Plus Lego is always happy to make a new recolour of those for certain people to soiface over.

>>11469902
When are they gonna make Unfriendly Snails?

>>11469344
Chickenhawk is literally slang for a pedophile and that's the joke you choose to make with it?

>>11468637
I mean at least it's only NASAcore instead of full-blown NASAslop

>>11471009
Is it really even that much better? If anything I find it to just be more confirmation that further original space themes can't exist anymore, not even as conflict centered themes like the post LoM space themes. It'll be either exactly nasashit or nasashit pretending to be something else. Feels weird considering how much lego loves to shill classic space.

>>11471010
Yeah, actually, I kinda do consider original designs better than whatever latest "cOnCePtUaL" horseshit NASA's PR department has most recently put out shitty CG of for redditors to coom themselves silly to.

I see Tifa's just got her vag hanging out for everyone to see.

>>11471159
Creator 3-1 isn’t exactly a standalone theme but it’s the best Lego has to offer right now.

>>11471159
Excluding continuations of previous themes like Pirates/Castle: Art, Dots, and Icons started in 2020. All themes starting later are licenced or have a media tie in.

It makes me feel bad that space is now a sub theme of City, but yeah I almost watched a review on this one. I think I will watch it now and not just because of the asteroids.

>>11469533
I think they've already done some things like Medusa, so that would be interesting to see what they could come up with just doing minifigures.

>>11469533
They’ve been doing that all along. The centaur, the faun, Cupid, the harpy, the battle goddess, the gold winged greek warrior… im sure I’m forgetting some.

>>11471174
Yeah I've been catching up trying to see what they've been doing.

Hey fellas, any new leaks on anymore Simpsons stuff?

>>11467021
I did not like Ninjago. (I was too old for the demographic they were going for. Same with Chima but I did buy a few sets from both lines). Would be much happier with classic Ninja/Samurai.

>>11467068
Ivr never watched the movies but thst looks sweet.

>>11467122
Interior playsets are cool. I'm glad the last AT-AT we got had a nice little interior for your figs and the luke on the grapple hook had a little manual gear. Nice little touches. The $800 AT-AT fuck huge set didn't even have the grapple hook mechanism.

>>11467493

>>11467854
Depending on where you sell consider 1. Shipping costs and 2. Selling fee. I would say add it up and try to even out the number. What percentage you want to drop it is up to you but you should consider the individual value of some of the pieces and the condition. Like yeah X piece is worth $ but Y and Z piece are $$$. If someone is hunting Y and Z then X feels like a bonus.

>>11468129
Nta but this is why I try to stay at one figure and one vehicle. Thankfully the last 10 years have had a lot fo release of original trilogy stuff (what I usually like) and the builds are solid. There's no avoiding having like multiple R2s and C3POs cus they're in almost every set. But something like the last Lambda was great. And I really liked the last Tie Fighter and X Wing compared to the current ones that you can swap wings on (plus the previous ones were way cheaper!!). Also at this point I have no problem modding "official" star wars builds. Like "Boba Fett's Throne Room" or whatever that was supposed to be Jabbas Palace but had no roof domes. Didn't take long before I bought some parts off bricklink and made a better model. Still a shame that the new Jabba fig only comes in that $500 set. Come the fuck on.

>>11468248
80s/90s smileys that all worked under the same template were great. (Like the moustache, painted lips, sunglasses). More complex heads should only be for licensed sets to try to get a likeness. Its ironic that Lego went crazy woke and somehow ended up ditching the classic smiley, which was gender neutral and could be changed just the swapping hair form pigtails/ponytail to short cut or a hat.

>>11468622
Get them off bricklink from some German guy who buys like 900 of the sets and also has 10,000 brown ice cream swirl pieces.

it's infuriating how stingy Lego is with the minifigs.
$80... 1 gingerbread-themed Vader
they could have made
gingerbread-themed Snow Troopers
gingerbread themed AT-AT freaking DRIVER
gingerbread themed Imperial Officer
gingerbread themed Luke hanging off the bottom

nope. just the one!
WHY WHY WHY!

are minifigs like, the most expensive thing for Lego to add to a set? like, does each minifig add $10 per set? aren't they all just more little plastic bits?

just sayin'... if Lego had included ONE gingerbread Snow Trooper and Officer, and one gingerbread Hoth rebel guy, people MIGHT have bought more of them (yes $80 sets) to "army build"

if the idea was to make ONE gingerbread thing each year now, next year we'll get a gingerbread X-Wing with Luke, they still could include different army-building gingerbread minifigs.

>>11471301
>are minifigs like, the most expensive thing for Lego to add to a set?
They probably are, barring some outliers like very large parts and electronics. Most Lego parts are just mono-colored blocks, but minifigs need prints on the faces and torsos, and these days usually get leg prints as well. They also require some assembly in the factory (attaching the arms to the torso and legs to hips), which is an extra step you don't have with regular Lego bricks.
They're probably nowhere close to 10$ per minifigure, but they do cost more than equivalent amount of plastic in bricks.

>>11468621
I like it.

Anybody watch the latest season of Dreamzzz? I'd say it's probably the best Lego cartoon since Ninjago.
We also get a reason for why the Mrs Castillo minifigure has an hourglass and is implied to be a Dreamcrafter in the sets, despite not showing it in the show until now.

>>11471368
No

>>11471301
>>11471354
probably goes
molds > mini fig design > minifig printing > sticker design
for molds, you can reuse them in future sets, harder than themed minifig designs

>>11471368
Oh Paul.

>>11471368

Bump limit reached and we are pretty close to image limit

>>11471354
the frustrating part is that there is no way for Lego to know about how that affects my decisions.

for example, if each Animal Crossing set included ONE (or two?!) more Minifigure(s) I might have bought ALL of them (okay honestly maybe it depends on which characters, but still...) so instead I only buy a few, and even then, I'm not exactly super happy, wishing this $75 set had more than 2 characters grrr....

All Lego would see is "hmm... Animal Crossing is not selling..." and they might come to the wrong conclusion about exactly WHY that is. it's not that I don't want to buy, I just want MORE... to buy. and instead they just cancel it, figuring people don't want it at all.

This likely happened to Vidiyo, where the sets and characters were amazing, yet horribly over-priced. if they were simply cheaper (seriously Vidiyo was a solid twice-as-expensive as sets at the time) it would still be going strong, but they didn't sell at all, and yoinked off the shelves quickly

by lego's own standard minifigs are worth around 3-5 bucks. BaM figs are 3 for 10 USD and CMFs (which typically have more printing and specialized molds) are 5. it also costs more to package and sell an item separately vs including it with a larger product. I personally think minifigs should be like a "bonus" that comes with the set instead of something that should be considered in the price, and the bigger the set the more figures it ought to come with. minifigs should just be a given and not something used to manipulate you into buying a set

>>11471259
>buys like 900 of the sets
Yeah, that's not why they have so many.
>10,000 brown ice cream swirl pieces

>>11471513
I want the outside to be split into 2 different scales, the front with the main laser at "real scale" with a smooth looking spherical surface which would be the "true display" side.
Then you turn it around and you have a side that's much more gribbled as if it's more of a close up with playable microscale tie fighters, xwings, falcon, turrets on the surface and the trench with the weak spot Luke shoots into. That side also has a large opening to an interior room separate from the rest that's also at microscale which would be the hangar the falcon lands into with those square formations of stormtroopers represented by tons of printed white ministatues a la harry potter microscale castle.
Then you can open the whole thing for the minifig scale interior which essentially would be pic related but better. Fuck the Death Star 2, please don't waste space with the emperor room or whatever. Just beef up all the areas that are significant to the first film and make sure they are playable. Needs a proper detention block corridor not just a forced perspective sticker. Dianoga shouldn't be this fully separate made up fig, we shouldn't see its fully body but instead have a technic play feature mechanism you activate to make the eye go up and down and move the tentacle.

If they did it just like that then maybe I would buy it but I'm of course I'm preparing myself up for extreme disappointment

Lego must know their not doing enough minifigs in these sets, there has to be some sort of plan as nothing else can explain the weird omissions (like only one sister in the Able SISTERS shop and only the pilot in the dodo airlines set)
I am really curious as to how well these are selling though as it seems like lego sells out of the cheaper sets quite quickly, but 3rd party sellers always seem to have most of the sets with pretty big discounts a month or 2 after release.
