Why do they sell new products on January. Wouldnt it be in their best interest to start releases in November/December where people blow all their money?

>>11549962 (OP)
That’s a cute set, I bet it’s like $100 though

>>11549995
$70 actually

>>11549998
Dance puppet, dance

How many are there rn. 50? 60?

I'm only interested in Lego Pokemon if they do minifig scale molds of all 151

>>11550011
Did you count ones that dont mention l word and are only pics or that mention l word but are unrelated?

>>11550006
>thinks I'm him
I'm not the puppet master, but it's not like I could convince you of that, so enjoy your delusions and posting in his threads.

>>11550023
You're still pissing and moaning in his threads like a cuck.

>>11550029
Shut up

It ain't that bad

>>11550033
Don't like hearing the truth?
>>11550034
>no u
Still not him, cucky.

>>11550057
OH REALLY?! The thing I've been saying for many threads is the key?

>>11550060
Yeah, but now its too late

>>11550060
Lol

>$1000
>for this
Lego star wars fans are idiots if they pay for this

I have yet to see one person in these generals actually playing with their lego instead of complaining about them

>>11550188
Then you better clean up his mess afterwards, cucky.

Where’d all the threads go?

jang status?

Update on metal gear ray. Trying to get the right proportions is a huge bitch. I'm just happy this thing can actually stand up on its own. I think I was finally able to get a decent enough frame for the torso, now I need to give it detail and shape. Hopefully that doesn't fuck with the proportions too badly, or make it too heavy. Also might need to make the wings bigger

>hundreds of posts deleted
>most of the threads are still up

>>11551062
Paul and the tranny janny are fucking. This post gets deleted but the rest of the slop stays.

>>11550301
should we congratulate that one person who caused so much chaos that nobody knows where to go anymore to complain about Legos? was it really just one persistent [negative word withheld]?

How has Lego done 17 Fortnite characters but none of them I really want? c'mon, Lego! 2383 more to go! step it up! Can I get a Fable, Calamity, or even a TNTina? would it help if I asked "please"? and please, also, don't shove them in a $400 set, that would be mean.

Is /lg/ dead? The atmosphere feels like after a war...

>>11552049
I'm not sure exactly what happened.

--there was a person [A] who would make NEW threads -->
early, before the old one was technically full.
--different people [B] got furious over that (for valid reasons?)
--[B] would report/nuke threads by [A]
--[A] wouldn't stop, instead spam even more threads, causing [B] to loose their minds in rage
-80% of each thread boiled down to [A] & [B] yelling at eachother, nothing to do with Lego
--all to do with mechanics of basket weaving site formats, and unpaid monitors over-worked (heh) dealing with the childish behavior

can we please just talk about Lego?

>castle cmf when?
also jannie do your fucking job and delete all but one lego thread is not that hard

OH NO NO NO!!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
DISGOYS WILL LITERALLY PAY $1000 FOR THIS!

>>11552136
he cute tho

So we have 20 lego threads and none being used GG

the Nu Death star has been revealed and the backside is uglier than I expected

>>11552215
That side will be against the wall anyway.

>>11552049
>>11552069
I think janny gave the spammer 2 day ban but didn’t delete any of his threads. Because janny hates having to work. Deleting threads is is hard work and makes him sweat profusely. Spammer IP hops but sometimes he takes the vacation. Not sure why but it must be exhausting making threads all day every day. Everyone else who wanted to discuss lego on /toy/ sees 20+ complete shit threads compared to the 50 before and is either going afk (temporary or otherwise) or waiting for janny to do his job.
>TLDR
spammer got rid of everyone including janny and himself (just for a few days though, it’s also possible janny died but he will be replaced easily)

>Stickers on a $1000 set
AHAHAHAHAHAH

Yep, even the r*dditoids are seeing this as the nonesense this is

Bro for 1000 dollars they can't make a back?
AI Lego Designers can't come soon enough to replace these soys

This is the pre order exclusive GWP
literally a dlc
Lol
Star Wars fans have a lot to answer for here. You've destroyed lego because you'll buy this

>>11552251
Whoops

the hot tub trooper alone will be selling for hundreds $

From Stonewars (german fanboy blog):
>Complaints that a set priced at around €1,000 still uses stickers and doesn't include the most detailed minifigures are to be expected, even if the reasons for this are the same as always with LEGO. After all, a €1,000 LEGO set is simply a LEGO set, subject to the same restrictions that LEGO imposes on all its sets—just a bit more expensive.

>>11550035
Sure, faggot

man oh man
Get me the ceo who came up with this. It's genius in its greed honestly

>>11552215
>>11552217
For that price there's absolutely no reason they couldn't have made a fully modeled structure. Ideally it would be two halves of a sphere that open like a dollhouse, or something like picrel. It should also have a rotating base so you can easily turn it to different angles for display. Absolute ass and as much as people seem to think consoomers will buy it anyway I think even they know where to draw a line.

you can't even play with that shit. every room is tiny for display. goddamn

>>11552136
>the window doesn't even let you see into the cockpit

>>11552256
slopslopslopslopslop

>>11552260
play? you don't buy legos to play with, you buy legos to put on a shelf.

>>11552258
>GWP is shown in the product images
Surely then this means that the GWP is guaranteed since it's a DTC set and they can just produce exactly the same number of GWPs as the set, right? They wouldn't intentionally produce fewer GWPs than the set, would they?

Oh nononono ahahah

>>11552246
>>11552252
they claim this is worth $35 kek

>>11552253
I hope the factory in Mexico floods the market with them.

>>11552258
>pay a fee to pay us earlier than the other pigs
imagine a world where this set is the tipping point
wouldn't that world be nicer than this one?

This is a retard test, if you buy it then you are retarded.

the problem why the death star looks so shit is having too many tiny rooms. it should have only like 5 big rooms with the most iconic scenes. it has lots of pointless rooms. it's designed like a play set but nobody will ever play with it.

>>11552233
This shit is ridiculous. When I was a kid all the sets I got in the late 90s and early 2000s were pretty much exclusively prints. Now even the most high end, expensive, boutique set can't even do prints. I thought it was bad enough that the UCS jango slave I (I mean jack sparrow's starship) was all stickers when my original 2002 jango set was all printed, but this takes the cake

>>11552269
insiders is free

>>11552277
the stickers might be on purpose since legos is now basically a model kit for adults

>>11552282
>now
Cobi-sama I kneel!

>>11552246
>LEGO set with a LITERAL DLC

>>11552233
>>11552277
I have a feeling that Lego uses stickers to avoid dedicating a warehouse inventory spot to yet another decorated piece that is only used in ONE FREAKING SET. especially a thousand dollar set that nobody will buy.

the warehouse realty space is limited, and they'd rather just use the regular piece, that's already there, and the stickers get printed on-demand, no "space" taken up for that.

it's probably a reason that we get -1 minifigs in each set (animal crossing!) these days, as a new head/torso print has to be put somewhere, just remove a minifig from the set is easier for them then giving us full value to the set.

the small family business does not have infinite warehouse space.

>>11552282
I noticed this when I did a sticker-heavy Speed Champions set, it slowed down the process and after it was done it totally felt like I had built a model kit instead of a Lego (but also highlighted the warehouse issue, as they would have needed like 50 more spots, for just one car? no way)

>>11552270
at least it's only £900 in bongland...

>>11552270
It’s like some gypsies scrapped 3/4th’s of the death star

>>11552291
lego constantly makes new custom pieces. they don't have an issue having a million pieces that are only used in one set.
>we get -1 minifigs in each set
that is to make profit off scalpers and collectors. they know these will buy the sets purely for minifigs.

>>11552270
is that a minikit? BASED! Buying it now!

>premium set
>this is what you get for $1000

>>11552297
True, especially since they own bricklink and directly profit off reselling

>>11552301
yes retard, you will never see the backside.

>>11552303
Shouldn’t the first 1k lego set look good from all angles?

I need:
>castle cmf
>castle gwp old set remakes
>snake knight castle
>new main line castle sets
and I need them now

>>11552136

This is so shit even plebbit is laughing at it

>>11552246

Imagine paying $1000 for a $10 4+ set LMAO. Enjoy your fucking toy DLC

>>11552265

Holy shit my fucking sides is this Lego's biggest blunder yet?

>>11552305
if the backside looked good it would be $1500

how much should the death star cost based on pieces count?

>>11552318
400 thousand dollars.

>>11552307
imagine...
a Lego CMF series where each one is a knight/warrior
torso with icon, shield with icon
all 12 (16?!) different factions

random new medieval weapons and accessories spread out among them

you want to talk about selling multiples? people would go nuts collecting several of each. you can't have just one (icon) guy, you need a bunch of them!! and that's for -each- minifig!!!

and the (cool weapon) is in this one figure! I have to have a bunch of that (cool weapon)!!!

forget the animal head mascots, it's clear which minifig in each CMF is the most popular and collectable

they literally hate money

>>11552326

Who the fuck cares about the price per piece ratio holy shit it's literally a non-argument when you have thousands of 1x1 bricks. This is just an excuse to charge more for less.

Like, if you look at the whole thing divided into 8-ish dioramas put together, with the size of each diorama being something like the Tantive IV boarding which is $55 that is $440. Let's say the laser component is another $50. Then let's bump it another $100 for some of the larger areas like the hangar and throne room. They are charging you $400 just for a bunch of bricks to build a hull for the whole thing to be pieced together. No matter which way you look at this pos, Lego intentionally designed this to be as cost effective while making as much profit as humanly possible.

>>11552351
they'll never live this down either, anytime one gets into an argument over anything you just have to post a pic of that piece of shit and they'll stop replying.

>>11552357
>Who the fuck cares about the price per piece ratio holy shit it's literally a non-argument when you have thousands of 1x1 bricks. This is just an excuse to charge more for less.
This. Price per piece ratio is fucking horrible.

The annoying thing about the death star situation is that star wars gets seriously shafted when it comes to location builds. Scenery, buildings, etc, all seriously lacking. All we get is ships ships ships. So when we FINALLY get a location as a set, of course it's this quadruple digit piece of shit.

What I wouldn't give for a return to the master builder series. Or better yet, why the fuck isn't there a modular building line for lego star wars? Imagine if you could buy sets for dexter jettster's diner, padmeps apartment, a landing platform, the ep2 nightclub, etc as modular sets that let you build a corsucant together

>>11552375

You will get more $60 dioramas and you WILL enjoy them goy

>>11552270
cannot believe disnoys will buy this sloppa for $1000

They're going to go bankrupt for real this time and get bought out by some Chinese company

>>11552354
hmm... lame, but I guess if I want one of each, I'm stuck getting one. most people just skip it, it's too specific and just not useful for any sort of MOC

OMG best figure ever! I will hunt down and scan all packages, no little kid will ever get wolfpack guy I must own a hundred of them!!! ahh I'm going insane my whole life is all about the collecting of wolfpack guys!!! I will make lots of MOCs out of lame Harry Potter sets since they have the grey castle bricks, swapping heads to make many different wolfpack peeps! my wolfpack will be unstoppable!!!

I love how instead of including the detention block officer or the guy who was asking about TK-421, they included generic brown female officer.

>>11552264
Only day 1 buyers get the DLC. This means that even buyers of the 1000 dollar set aren't equal. Its genius

>tfw we used to get giant army builders with unique minifigs for just $40

frankly that new death star looks like it appeals to minifig sloppers. lego must have consulted the graphs and seen potential. but can you see the rock building it?

>>11552291
I refuse to believe that printing is that hard, either way the hierarchy for details should be:
Brick build it>Use a preexisting print>not include the detail>Print>sticker

>>11552453
Printing isn't hard nor out of lego's capabilites. The gaslighting excuse they have for it works though

>>11552444
if this set were made by nu-lego, instead of a baseplate you'd have an overengineered construction that uses 1000 pieces by itself, the top of the chessboard would be made up of 1x1 black and white tiles, half the pawns would instead be sold separately as a battlepack, and the whole thing would cost 400 dollars

>>11552450
from what I understand, the minifig sloppers aren't very impressed either. For one, you really don't get that many figs considering the price point. If you compare it to the mos eisley cantina, for instance, that set has more than half the figs but cost less than half the price. And the figs in that set were a lot of cool unique guys like the cantina band, greedo, the lizard nigga, imperial spy, and a bunch of other aliens with unique head molds and such. With the death star, it's mostly a bunch of generic officers and troopers. And three (3) lukes. Only really notable characters IMO are bathtub trooper, the purple emperor's advisor, and krennic. If if there aren't actually a bunch of cool characters on the death star they could've based the set on, they could've at least made up for it with quantity. More officers, more imperial advisors, , way more troopers and so on.

tldr figfags will probably just bricklink the bathtub trooper and imperial advisor

>>11552453
especially for those lit-up vents that the deathstar has here and there. For the price those could've even been brick-built. There are plenty of SNOT techniques to do that sort of thing, even without prints.

>>11552438
How much is the tax and tip on top of that $1000?

>>11552451

cute based cat enjoying the cheap box
but
lmao at your Walmart logo bedsheets

GWPs have always been a very scummy marketing tactic, but making the GWP something that is clearly meant to be part of the main build is some next-level shit. So not only do you need to buy a $1000 deathdisk, but you need to make sure to preeorder it in time before the GWPs run out.

They’re planning the DLC with Ro Laren’s shuttle too.
Shaka this is now the new normal.

>>11552502
merchant, his hands clasped

>>11552499
it's FOMO tactics of the highest caliber
truly evil
reminds me of this scene from Squid Game

they sort-of did that with the $360 D&D set, where they sold the figures separately for $5 each, when, for $360, they should have ALL been included in the one big set. (but in that case, we got to get a few figures, if we wanted, for only $5, without buying the big set. which, in the end, was much better)

>Man of Tomorrow. In theatres July 9, 2027.
Lego will make sets this time around, r-right???

Both this and Batman Part 2 release that year

>>11552504
Paypigs their wallets wide.

There's no way the death star doesn't flop. Right? Normies seem to hate it (though lego deletes all negative opinions right now on instagram).

Promo: 40772 Celebration Series 3 Luminous Ghost . Details TBA. (via a Brick Tap member)

GWP

>>11552511
It's selling for 1200 dollars converted in bongmoney and 1163 dollars converted in europoor cash. They are profiting massively off every sale, so it doesn't need to sell much to make bank. And it will sell, nobody cares what the Internet thinks

>>11552502
my (fellow Star Trek Fan) friend was like "Ro Laren? ugh! what a terrible choice for a character! Why not Barclay? Chief O'Brien? Tasha freaking Yar?!!!"

she better have a custom Bajoran Earring hair piece (that they re-use in dark red for Major Kira in 5 years, and we all complain the hairstyles don't match lol but hey it's got the earring and molds are expensive whatever)

>>11552515

I’m not the audience for it, but I understand why.
>affordable
>good design
>a christmas license set that isn’t just a one of those advent calendars so it’s something fresh
Honestly I think they should make an at at of the same design but in boring grey. It’s kind of like the mini slave 1 design that everyone likes because it’s a toy for children first.

Will they be minifig sets with molded pokemon and do this first to pay for making new molds?

>>11552540
I'd probably get the entire Hogwarts castle

>>11552545

Lego make pokemon display sets

>>11552545
I'm having a hard time imagining what would necessitate 650 dollars from pokemon. The pokemon league complete with the kanto elite four and a large pokemon stadium?

>zelda locked behind $300 18+ sets when it could've been perfect evergreen licenslop castle theme

>>11552564
>when it could've been perfect evergreen licenslop castle theme
You are a retard if you think there’s more than 5 sets they can do for Zelda

>>11552390
>black, brown and female Imperial figs
Niggas keep complaining about this as if they don’t understand that featuring browns as generic, non-named characters is a marketing appeal to a global audience. Many autistic blacks are now into Lego. The same ones who are into anime.

>>11552480

It IS the same thing, have you seen any of the recent McDonald's campaigns? Shit toys no kids like, then they do some nostalgiabait like Yu Gi Oh collab so all adults rush to buy 100 happy meals just for the toy collab

>>11552583
They could do a whole wave based on the CDI games.

>>11552589
>>11552480
And yet McDonald’s is still a global juggernaut despite losing its childish edge. The morbid reality is that Lego is too big to fail at this point, and it will continue to live on as a “luxury adult collectible” company. The claim that “all adult fans of Lego once were kid fans of Lego” is no longer true. Hordes of normies have latched on and that’s unlikely to change.

>>11552259
Maybe if it were 2003

oh nonononono

I think the death star is just conceptually flawed,
The "adult" lego sets should be scale models, this death star is some quasi high end kids playset,
If they wanted to do this they should have made a modular system like the harry potter Hogwarts castle system and then sold modular segments that people could eventually build into a "complete" death star similar to this.
The death star is just not a good set to make into an "adult" lego set. I dont think there is a single spherical death star moc that actually looks good.

The new death star is a treshold
It sells well and the entire company's doomed

>>11552607
It really should've been a hemisphere. Turn it one way to portray the outside of the deathstar, spin it around to show the dioramas. It's bad enough that it's a death-pancake, but even with it flat they could've at least hidden the ugly backside crap with some sideways gray tiles or something. This just looks straight-up incomplete. And it makes a very niche set even more niche now that there's only a single way to display it (pressed up against a wall, on a bookshelf with shelves tall enough to accommodate)

>>11552520
The gingerbread walker is at least cute, whimsical, and fun. Although I'm a bit concerned that it's actually what the size of future playscale AT-ATs are going to be in the future, in line with the miniaturization of other star wars sets we've seen recently.

>>11552580
>Clefable
Anon I think it's supposed to be Chansey

>>11552545
Isn't it obvious? They want to cash in on all scalping that has been happening with the TCG. Minifig sets would be the easiest but also the lamest way to do sets. There is also the rumor that the Pokemon Sets will use the new Smart Brick LEGO has been testing last year.

Just imagine how cool it would be if we get interactive Pokemon figures like with the Mario Theme.

Why do sets use this piece when a typical 1x2 tile would work? Does it have less clutch power or something?

>>11552564
>>11552583
I think you're ignoring the main point in that Kids and their parents are no longer the target demographic for lego anymore

There's no fucking way it sells well.
I mean, it's 1000 dollars. I've seen so many people not wanting to buy a 360 dollars Steam Deck or Playstation 5 amd they're consoles capable of thoisands of hours of entartainment. There is no way there are more than a few hundred people worldwide who would spend 1000 dollars on a thing they assemble once and then just put there collecting dust and taking up half a library of space.
It must flop.

>>11552660
They probably insert weird pieces inside multiple sets to lower production costs of the weird pieces by disttibuting fixed costs. This wasn't necessary in the 80s-90s as sets used the same 200 pieces mostly with different colours palettes

do kids even care about legos?

>>11552514
very underwhelming

what's /lg/'s opinion on custom minifigs? I've dabbled with stuff like brikarms before but never actual custom figs. these ones from American Bricks look pretty cool and for dirt cheap

>>11552663
When is the last time you had a look at Lego's full catalog? There is still a shit ton of sets aimed at kids.

>>11552664
It’s a status symbol like a flashy sports car or trophy wife… people that will buy it don’t actually like it they want whatever the Reddit or instagram equivalent of (you) is. They don’t really like Lego or cars or sex with women.

>no dual moulded legs and all of two torsos with arm printing
it's only fair, it's a budget set after all

>>11552689
NTA but the 2025 catalouge is a far cry from 2011. Go back and look it up. You'll cry tears how many original themes were present at a single time. LEGO is playing it safe. To the point where their catalouge of sets is stagnating. There is no real evolution happening anymore.

>>11552684
I am 100% in support FOR those custom figs
WHEN they match Lego exactly.

for example, those have prints on the sides of the legs and. torsos. so.... nope! they don't "match"

see the way her torso female-coded-curves are a little too much? Nope! Lego doesn't do it that much.

it's really hard to get away with a new-designed element and feel like it's "real", but hair pieces that match 100% but are in different colors? that's fine.

if you seriously stand them next to "real" (heh) Lego minifigs, and can't tell the difference? Yep! totally fine.

>>11552664
Lego pieces cost less than a cent to produce. They don't need to sell crazy amounts to turn a profit

I've got some very divisive opinions on the death star
>the model itself looks good and really grew on me
>the GWP is fucking batshit insane and for an extra 200 pieces that doesnt even bring the piece count to 10k
>set with GWP os $1000 and still doesnt hit 10k pieces (youre paying a Disney tax)
>minifigs look great, with the exception of C3P0 being a downgraded version that came in another set
>50 plus fucking stickers instead of prints
all in all its a great looking set. I really like the dollhouse look and the minifigure scale it has. Could be a lot of fun to play with. The FOMO with the tie fighter really makes me want to get it. Would I be better off just buying the 2016 playset? I'm picking up some big sets to make in depth reviews of on YouTube, getting the new Black Pearl and maybe the death star. or should I just say fuck it and pull the trigger on Lion's Knight Castle before it retires? (Never been big on castle, im more a pirates fan but the set looks great)

I need advice /lg/, havent posted any reviews yet but I feel like I'd be more honest than someone like M&R Productions.

Why is lego simply refusing to have another lego castle original theme?

>decent Hogwarts castle that wasn't spread across multiple different overpriced sets
man, comparing even this era to now is like night and day, not to mention how fucking CHEAP these sets were.

>>11552724
>Disney tax
The worst precedent about this is Nintendo will try to 1up it with Pokemon. Greedy fucks. Lego should be held accountable too. They're seeing how far they can take it
I'd love to say licensefags get what they deserve but it just means everything goes up to match the new normal

Gone but not forgotten.

okay there is definitely a high chance we're seeing a new Revan minifig next year

Why is the humble 2x4 brick so rarely used nowadays?

>>11552715
Lego does leg-side printing though, just not often

>>11552791
I sorted my collection recently , amazing w few actually basic bricks i have.

>>11552564
The pattern is shit management. They have so many licenses they don’t do any of them proper

>>11552623
I recall average people being really hyped when the 800 dollar falcon was announced. Lego must have seen that reaction and then doubled down with the AT AT. Which did not sell as well. Lego must have thought
>hmmm they must want to spend even more money
When the reality is the falcon was novel at that price point and looked accurate and in scale with minifigures. People who like the actual falcon in the movie generally like the look of the ucs falcon. The AT AT, while fine design-wise, was just another ridiculous shelf warmer that no one actually has space for. The people that bought the falcon are probably juggling it around their house because they can’t find a spot for it. It doesn’t fit on shelves. How on earth would they then buy another massive shelf warmer.
>enter Death Star
The Death Star just seems like obscene levels of arrogance. It’s a 1000 dollar set with a ridiculous amount of stickers and it’s meant to be a minifigure display area. But the only thing I hear being discussed about the minifigures is how lego cheaped out not including dual molded legs. They all look like average figures you would see in a 20 dollar play set. Not premium 1000 dollar set figures

>>11552793

I see them somewhat in city sets, but not a lot, it's always a good idea to get a brick box every once in a while. Thank goodness the classic and minecraft themes exists, they seem to be the only ones with the most basic bricks available

>>11552660
it's used to give walls texture. you can also place them at angles without having their corners stick out like with regular 1x2s.

They could do a hundred smaller sets like this with Link/allies, enemies from whichever of the gorillion Zelda games, and some small structure (a room in a dungeon, a building from a town, a boat, a tree, whatever).
>they will run out of pre-existing setpieces
Damn, I guess they'll have to be creative and make something new. Look at the Minecraft sets, 90% of those are not structures that appear in the game.

>>11552724
Don't get the Death Star. Especially not just to make a review. Buying it is rewarding the company for these ridiculously expensive sets.
>LKC
It's more reasonable but still expensive, there's a lot to talk about for a review. If you just want the set for yourself though, consider getting the minifigs off PaB and buying the bricks separately to build your own castle. The set honestly looks a bit plain and doesn't have as much space inside as you'd think. I mean compare it to picrel in terms of aesthetics. But if you can get it on sale probably go for it, it's got lots of basic bricks for MOCing with even if you don't like the build.
>t. own it

>>11552724
I’ve watched a handful of his videos. M&R gives you his actual opinions in reviews. I also get the vibe that he is a dishonest person but not with reviews. Literally all he does is complain and moan about Lego. That’s real. He’s just a spoiled child that is now technically an adult. But like he seems really fake like his smile is an act and he will lie to you what he actually thinks about people or lie to save face whenever he gets the chance.

>>11553021
That’s cool. Your build?

>>11552952
They know their fanbase
They are making fun of them, daring the onions faced consoomers to buy this piece of shit

"Death Star for flat-earthers" is still my favorite description.

It's funny how they are constantly trying to capture the female audience but they refuse to build dollhouses that girls would actually want to play with. There are very few girls who are interested in science fiction ships, pretty much only autistics.

Beautiful kitter. Does yours like to chew on your Lego? I had to buy glass display cases to put mine in to prevent her chewing and breaking pieces, as much as I hate having Lego in a display case.

I'm half expecting it to be announced 1 if not all the sets will include exclusive promo cards.
Let the most expensive set be a Mewtwo vs Mew vs Charizard and Pikachu and drop a full art promo of that in the box with it, people would die fighting to get em

>>11553139
no other Pokemon merch of any kind has ever included TCG cards. none. not action figures, not even the video games themselves. Mega Bloks HAS Pokemon brick sets on shelves right now, no TCG cards.

if Lego can manage TCG cards in the sets, it would be a miracle.

>>11552768
Pokemon Lego will be expensive due to electronic brick functions. it's going to be fun watching people freak out over the HUGE prices, yet still buy them anyway, Lego will expect us to recoup the electronic development costs back for them, not only is the brick technically more expensive with electronics, but they spent gazillions of dollars developing it, and they need THAT money back, too.

Its pretty disappointing, one and a half buildings and zero play features. Takes up a lot of space length ways but hardly any height

>>11553213
Yeah, great build and also provides a nice assortment of pieces. I am very happy that I got mine. Also, if this came with a license, Lego would ask 199 for the over 2100 pieces.

>>11552516
They couldn’t even do a custom head mold or hairpiece for worf with forehead ridges… but bajorans are a formerly enslaved minority race so maybe.

“BAJORANS, could be here” he thought “I’ve never been in this sector before. There could be BAJORANS anywhere.” The cool wind felt good against his bare chest. “I hate BAJORANS.” Sweet Dreams are Made of These reverberated his entire Galor-class warship, making it pulsate even as the $9 Andorian wine circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of minorities after dark. “With a warship you can go anywhere you want,” he said to himself, out loud.

Predictions?

Black and trans.

>>11553225
The cave, the tower, the little fireplace in the great hall. Great stuff. Neat, cozy details. Best ideas set in ages because it made little modifications to the original design which was already great. The fan designer did tons of Bricklink Designer sets. He designed the Wolfpack tower for series 6.

>>11553233
TOS Enterprise is a must.

>>11553233
I wish it will be the Borg Cube, Klingon Warhawk and Voyager but it will be some some celebrative shelf dust collector like ships with no interior or a big Star Trek caption made of Lego like they did with Star Wars

>>11553234
>We wuz trek and sheit

>>11553238
Star trek logo with minifigs would look nice, maybe enterprise deck too

>>11552644
Darth vader can't even fit in the cockpit, lego would be crazy to make a playscale ATAT that can't be piloted by at least one minifig

>star trek would actually make a good space theme
>you'll only get bland star wars grey bricks
I especially hate prequel stuff because the designs are hideous (and bland).

>>11553252
I mean, can they really do playsets for star trek? I guess they could

>>11553255
>star trek would actually make a good space theme
Lol, how? You can't do playsets for kids with trek, name 6 ideas of such playsets

>>11553256
>>11553260
Of course they could when Kre-o did

>>11553260
the problem is you retards think a playset has to be a scene from a show or movie. a playset is just some minifigs and a build and can be anything. star trek is a very close theme to the classic space sets. just make classic space but star trek inspired.

>>11553265
Lego could use all trek media to make sets, ghere's enough material, they could even take scenes from shows/movies and change chracters and setting

Hey look. An enterprise that can fit all crew inside...

Oh wow, hey look, an enterprise that can fit the entire crew...

>>11553270
>>11553268
can already see the retards complaining these aren't scale accurate models

Oh look...a dust collector that can't fit the crew inside and has no interior...

>>11553274
this would get scalped so hard especially now that nobody gives a fuck about star wars

>>11553273
Doesn't matter desu, problem is Kre-o could for $80 make sets that had interior and fit the entire crew inside but lego for $400-$500 couldn't make a small interior to fit some minifigs inside. There is no way they couldn't have designed it with an interior if they wanted to, they probably never considered it to begin with.

>>11553276
Forgot pic

>>11553260
>Lol, how? You can't do playsets for kids with trek, name 6 ideas of such playsets
right, outside all the movies and hundreds of episodes, there's no way you could make hundreds of playsets based on trek. it's not like star wars gets sets based on the most random scenes.

>>11553260
>Lol, how? You can't do playsets for kids with trek, name 6 ideas of such playsets
there's no way star trek could get such high quality sets like these. wall with minifigs, how can star trek even compete?

>>11553306
BOTW alone is enough to make at least 20 sets, now imagine TOTK.

>>11553350
It's probably intentional on lego's part. Make it so the only zelda set is 300 dollars, price lock link/zelda/etc minifigs behind that, and you end up coercing a bunch of zeldfags to buy the big set, when they otherwise might have just bought a 20 dollar set with zelda and link in it if that were an option.

watching her just unpacking the death star made me realize what this really is. you know the magazines that come with collectible diecast cars or pieces of a model kit, you have to buy all the magazines to build the whole kit. this is legos version of that. also lol at that huge stickers sheet.

>>11553233
next year is the 60th Anniversary of the original series, so they will be based on classic 1966 Shatner Enterprise

there's no way it won't be another $400 Ship, they might even make it $600 for the 60th,

Lego won't do one scene from one random episode, it will be Big Ship, Spice Girls-sized full-crew Brickhead everyone will roll their eyes at (c'mon when you say "3 sets" the Brickheads shouldn't count!) and a giant buildable Spock, still like $90, but it comes with the Spock minifig (wow!! I can get one Trek minifig without having to spend the $600!!!) the extra Spock set to justify the new head mold with the pointed ears, used in 2 sets instead of just 1

I legitimately do not see the point of making Star Trek and Zelda full scale themes when:
>1. Star Trek hasn't been popular for over a decade outside of the "reddit consoomer" market
>2. there are a ton of Non-licensed themes they can sell for cheaper
>3. TLG doesn't need to make cheap sets for zelda since the only people that will buy them are the Reddit consoomers with disposable incomes
It just makes no sense to make full themes of them (let alone evergreen lines) when their primary target audience (scalpers and basedboys) will quite literally spend hundreds of dollars on glorified dust collectors for reddit updoots. we're talking about subhumans who would spend $500 on a handheld console that's barely an upgrade to it's nine year old predecessor for freaks sake.
>but muh minecraft
Minecraft quite literally requires being creative in order to be interesting, it can't just sell some giant grey triangle or some shitty modular just because of some exclusive minifig nobody outside of gooners will care about.
>but muh one piece
acting like that line will last longer than 1 or 2 years when it's based off a freaking Netflix adaption of all things, is an extreme stretch of logic.

The stormtrooper hot tub is a great idea. They should do a set of just that. The games (particularly the Complete Saga and prior) have excellent ideas and builds and lego should do more from them.

>>11553458

Nigger-rich is a concept that has exploded in the modern era. The issue is even well-to-do millennials/zoomers can't afford the basics like a house. Everyone is so priced out of a home or a family that there's no point in even trying for many. But they still make enough money to be able to afford consoomer crap, and people cope with their situations by spending money on these things. Whether its legos or sneakers or gaudy fashion labels or labooboo dolls or whatever else

Lego Avatar is dead right? New movie is releasing this December.

the new lego set is genius
they just need to release the front and back parts of the cheese slice and star wars manchildren will say that "lego listened to the fans", and each part will be 1000 freedom bucks too

>>11553659
they'll probably have a smart brick loaded with fart sounds first round, what with how often they NEED to have poop or washrooms present in sets.

Almost at bump limit

>>11553542

wealth gap is widening. For every 1000 of us who can’t find a job and is living paycheck to paycheck there’s some MandR cunt with six houses, a derelict apartment complex they charge $4k a month rent, and every LSW set ever

>>11553718
we going to reach South Sudan levels of poverty in few decades from now. it was a mistake to normalize the Western lifestyle to be the norm. I else want to bet lego will start cutting out on releases by mid 2030's. if 1000 dollar death star becomes the norm, I cannot see lego bothering to release many sets when they know all they need to do to make profit is only release few big ones that panders to hard core collectors

>>11553731
wish I could return to simpler times, back when everyone was hunting for Mr. Gold and avengers just released

Congratulations Slugger!

dbz outperforming one piece even in it's live action form is cope from someone that didn't consume any anime since the 90s

pokemon is a different story tho, those people are crazy

Lightning McQueen set leak is out

has to be the worst designed set in the past 10 years

literally a scale model kit loooool

watching this, legos for adults are really just model kits for people too retarded to build model kits.

I am sneed

no, this is for adults.

>>11553791
It was close to being good but that window frame trashes it. Looks too rigid with a 65 degree angle goddamn. It's out of place when they've tried curving the bonnet & the back side fenders. Once you spot it, it jumps out each time

This is all irrelevant as that set is gonna sell absolute hotcakes and stick around for at least a decade like the t tex creator

vgh...

>>11553810
why even bother with those 4 studs? that looks like shit.

ultra instinct alone literally crashed anime websites, had people watching it on pornhub, has videos of giant crowds losing thier fucking minds to it and has ingrained its theme into meme culture
One piss doesn't even come close

I think technic and dreamzzzz are a good example what retards work at lego
>technic
>the point was focus on mechanical features and functionality
>just make ugly scale models of sports cars
>dreamzzzz
>you would think focus is on creativity
>sets are nothing but round smooth pieces so you can't build shit out of that

>>11553821
And the ugly scale models sell like fucking hotcakes

>>11553817
>oh look another color hair powerup so original

>>11553791
which one /lg/?

>>11553826
the normal lego sports cars sell like 100 times better, based on review count. also none of the technic sets comes with a figure. there's a submarine that has just an empty seat in front and it looks retarded. the fags don't even sell the figure anymore.

>>11553791
>>11553797
>>11553810
>>11553832
1-2 builders? is that such a selling point they need to do that for as many sets as they can?

honestly, looks pretty good, for what it's worth.

I think it's a missed opportunity that they didn't design it in such a way where you could remove a tile and swap out the eye expression, or pull out the mouth and swap that, too. But really, what other expressions could they use? so meh, whatever.

>>11553832
this one looks perfectly fine for being legos while this >>11553791 is just a cheap chinese toy with random studs

>>11553832
This one is better. It leans into the fact it cant curve the roof

>>11553791
>No minifigure
>Not even minifigure scale
>Based on a fictional car instead of real Car
Why? What's the fucking point?

>>11553842
because it would look bad if it was an 18+ black box. it would show what fucked up autists are buying this shit.

>>11553842
>no minifigure

>>11553842
>No minifigure
>he doesn't know

>>11553842
>>11553847
the Speed Champions sets famously NEVER show the Minifigures on the box. sometimes you can peek in the windows and see them, but it's not like they show them standing next to the cars.

it's still possible there's a little Owen Wilson inside that thing. (though if he WAS included, you think that would be a selling point, to put on the box??)

dare Lego be cool enough to do such an amazing thing?

>>11553842

>>11553852
I wish. But it looks like it's the first Speed Champions without a minifigure, no minifigure displayed on top of the box, nothing on the back, the dream is dead. Heck, I'd be surprised if you could even put a minifigure inside him since the interior will probably be rainbow colored bricks.
>>11553855
Because Speed Champions is the minifigure scaled licensed car theme.
Lightning McQueen is not based on a real car, therefore not licensed. Disney has their own theme, why couldn't they have put it in there?

>>11553852
nigger it's cars. there ain't no minifigure
it's for kids why would they put a who boomer in there?

>>11553872
It breaks the concept on so many levels, it's so baffling.

>>11553870

They aren't really minifigure scaled. Lego City cars are minifig scaled at 6 wide. You can sit your Paul walker in his car but it ain't scaled

>>11553871
>it's for kids
>19 years old movie
it's for adults faggot, no kid gives a fuck about cars.

You're a retard who doesn't have children
Cars is Disneys most selling product
Kids love toy cars and they still love Cars
When you have children you will know something

>>11553871
Lego's done Pixar character references in sets, quite often, actually

although that's probably due to them inflating the piece count unnecessarily, but hey, they've done it.

All they need is one blip in the instruction book to explain "voiced by actor Owen Wilson"

>>11553870
>the interior will probably be rainbow colored bricks.
heh funny
nobody has ever made a big deal out of boy character named "Queen"

newey

>>11553876
I miss when Speed Champions was 6 studs wide.
I think Lego suffers from "scale bloat" where builds get bigger and more detailed yet minifigures remain the same size and proportions. I mean, placing a modern Lego city car or a Speed Champions car next to a train (which has remained the same gauge since the 90s) makes the train look undersized or narrow gauge.
But this is coming from the same guy who complains when Star Wars ships are undersized or not proportional.
>>11553880
>nobody has ever made a big deal out of boy character named "Queen"
McQueen is a real last name though. Have you not heard of Steve McQueen?

>>11553888
Fuck off, Frenchie.

so what faggot, it's only on page 2.

>>11553907
cope

Just let him make new threads when we reach the limit, when threads are no longer bumping people are less likely to comment anything interesting as they are waiting for a new thread

>>11553904
That thread is a french piece of shit, like you freak
>>11553909

there is no need for seethe
page 5 then bake the new in future, please
use this until it dips then move to that new
we all just wanna shit on star wars I know
but let's do it together
Okay?

you will poop your pants

ANOTHA ONE

>>11553909
cope you retard

can someone explain the whole new-thread-wars?

why is it "a big deal"
why does it have to be?

I just feel like an idiot clicking on the new thread spot, waiting, checking back, there's another one, people screaming back n forth,

how is it that every other thread on the basket weaving site is fine, but the Lego one is a huge mess??

>>11552215
>1 grand
>for a fucking circle
HAHAHAHA wow who the fuck is going to buy this

>>11553958
because it's one autist spamming lego threads

>>11553958
it's a specific type of autism
as for why it's happening there's no janny to clean up the board

>>11553970
>no janny to clean up the board
they no speak engich, sarr

>>11553958
One french pedo is going insane that his shill threads aren’t always on page one, and he has baby tantrums that flood catalogs, its a repeated behaviour of his and unfortunately, jannies suck at cleaning his sperging up, since we are now 26 spam threads in

>>11553983
>>11553966
>>11553970
is there any reason we can't just let him make the new thread every time? I mean, if he follows the rules? like image limits or bump counts? or is that the problem? he'd constantly make NEW threads every five images?

do they have ways of blocking him? I once accidentally posted a picture of a thing, not knowing it was against the rules, and got banned for a few days. how can they not simply stop him from doing whatever he's doing?

>>11552583
This is the most retarded comment I have ever seen
Ocarina of Time alone could produce 50 sets with different dungeon rooms and bosses

>>11552583
No seriously, this is as mongoloid brained as saying Star Wars could only ever result in 5 sets

>>11554015
There’s rangebanning France from here, bringing in poster ID’s and flags (discouraging a lot of the schizos we have here already), or just waiting for somebody to snap and kill him dead, those are the routes we have at the moment because a few days ago he had 42ish threads up as a tantrum and we are down to 25 now, point is the problem isn’t very easy to solve without violence considering insane board cows like Athena are still posting here their insane schizobabble after years and super ban evading

>>11554015
He started making new thread at 150 posts and then he'd spam the first 30 of the new thread with dragonball and pokemon, same images of last
Then people got mad and it stated a bit of a meltdown across the board
Ban evasion is incredibly easy if you use a phone so no it's not that easy. But the real issue is /toy/ has no jannies. On other boards it's a game of whack a mole but there's nobody with a hammer here

>>11553958

that actually makes it clearer, thanks

>>11554038
vidyabutts needs 1 janny's whole attention alone

these janitorial activities sure do require lots of hard work, I wonder how much these janitors get paid

>>11554061
Enough to have their own entire board, surely

>>11554061
They do it for Rupee.

>>11553371
Thanks! I'm pretty much done, might rework little bits here and there later but I'm sticking a fork in RAY for now.

This fucker is HEAVY, probably 2-3x the weight of REX. But the tire feet really make it stable, and it has sturdier hip joints. It can ab-crunch rather than rotate the torso, but that just wouldn't be possible with this one

>>11554117
For the memes, gotta dab on rex

>>11552246
It was Lego who standardized on-disk-DLC so Im not surprised

After watching some short-form slop video content about the Flop Star, I have learned it actually has quite a few play features and hidden areas that aren't apparent from the leaked product images alone. Which leads me to ask, WHY THE FUCK WAS THIS NOT A SPHERICAL PLAYSET LIKE EVERY OTHER DEATH STAR

>>11554441
