I'm thinking Amsterdam street brothels. Showcase the mini dolls. Maybe put in a red light.

Who is this set for?

Finally back, and see it is as shit as ever, whatever, can somebody find a technic roation joint and balljoint combo brick? I want a brick that converts a technic ratchet into a bionicle balljoint for reasons

>>11600154
Also give me calculations for Hungary tariffs and shipping, still wanna maybe do an order from there, just post a stud.io file for the part or whatever if you can find it

Well, thoughts? This set actually seems reasonably priced

Are the five missing pieces that expensive? Can you not substitute with other parts you have on hand? The folks who insist on having specific parts only suck the joy out of building.

why im such a vile person?
also is it typical of lego leaks to miss a few minifigs? i want more figs for minas tirith

Stupid question but do you think when you build the Mr. Fusion DeLorean you will still be able to have with regular tires?

>>11600652
I've never had them not give me the right pieces except for one time when they gave me multiple extras of parts I ordered. Doubled checked the order and they gave me like 5 or 6 of the same torso when I only ordered one. It was a butter yellow Hawaiian shirt so not exactly something I'd use that many of, but whatever.

Any particular reason why I never see Lego Ideas shilled on here? It's not like I see a rule against it so is it a matter of most entries looking like slop or is it misguided "not your personal army" board culture?

Regardless, pic related has my support and was curious if anyone wanted to support it too.

>>11600945
Mainly apathy and the few people left here like me not even having an account, I just look at obscure as shit parts and struggle to design anything, took me like 4 hours just to fail at combining a ratchet and balljoint brick together for example

>>11600946
You should try it. Just made an account today and had a surprising amount of fun filtering the results to see sets that have a semblance of a chance at getting 10,000 supporters before the deadline and picking out the ones that I like. It's a fun little effortless "WE DID IT REDDIT!" activity to feel like you were a part of something as well as a nice way to pass time.

>>11600951
I’m already struggling enough with just getting some moc ideas up on my own, and re-figuring out basics, I have a ton of pieces I washed myself but need to re-get the basic building materials

>>11600945
I feel no desire to participate after seeing the shittiest nominees win time and time again. 90% of the entries are either "IRL object...BUT LEGO" or "IP from my childhood...BUT LEGOOO". And even if it was an IP I'm actually interested in it would end up being an overdesigned 18+ $300 dust collector anyway.

The only Ideas sets I like are throwbacks to older themes and builds like the Viking Village or the Baracuda Island. However those shouldn't even be icons sets in the first place in my opinion, we should have those themes anyway, or at the very least in Creator like they've been doing with the castles and ships. Ideas rarely offers anything on that level for me to care.

>>11600974
We aren’t getting classic Ninja as an ideas set unfortunately, or especially wild west, Don’t know what a Ninja 3 in one set would be but man I now tricked myself into wanting something like that, not ninjagay but classic ninja 3 in one builds

>>11600945
a long time ago people did try and use this to promote the Ideas submissions

it was a mess of spamming and rage criticisms. the not-your-personal-army thing was brought up constantly. even with "b-but it's not mine! I just like it!" people just agreed it was a mess and not worth it.

>>11600976

Is there any other use for those than just general gribbeling/machinery?
I always used them as either propulsors or like, "generic machine".

>>11600945
I did take a shot in Ideas but never shilled my stuff. It was a frustrating experience due to unclear moderation. Some creators were allowed to do things you couldn't. I could not submit a simple modular tree for terrain building. Uploaded few digital MOCs and left.

>>11601020

>who forced the 14 day autosage limit on us
Was it really because of him?

>>11601041

I think there are like three maybe four assholes that make then entirety of /toy/ shitty for most people and they do it across multiple threads and themes.

>>11601043
Due to him necro’ing his retroshitter threads so much, I think the farms thread made him go crazy enough to eventually leave us alone but the damage has been done, and sometimes one or two guy tries to copy his shit, funny enough one of the retroshitter threads (and one of the last I’ve seen) got bumped off way before it hit the 14 day limit due to one of Paul’s meltdowns with spamming threads on here, very ironic

I'll be in the minority, but I despised the Ninja sets (as well as the Time Cruisers pipeline). They seemed cheap and uninspired to me. Like they threw a bunch of shit on the wall and looked what stuck.

I'm saving this for the future.

First look at smart fig Luke, I bet the summer Mario sets will have smart play minifigs, this is the evolution lego wanted to have from Super Mario but couldn't do it back then.

>>11601124
And here is list of upcoming smart play minifigs, and there will be even more and across multiple themes like Harry Potter, City, Ninjago, etc. Pokemon will use smart bricks too.

>>11601124
>2022
So they were working since there

>>11601124
>all that ugly extra printing
I get that the warnings are required by law and the back printing is necessary to identify it as a smart fig, but damn it looks ugly

>>11601101
You can post this on any board and it will be accurate.

>>11601124
>>11601125
That's at least 5 sets with the smart brick for Star Wars alone. 2026 is looking grim already.

>>11601124
Important question: What the fuck wre you supposed to do with these after the battery runs out. Also in 10 years if someone wants to buy a sealed smart brick set, are the components sturdy enough to not be all kinds of corroded and janked up.

>>11601134
The smart figs recharge wireless

>>11601124
The future is now and it's ugly as sin

>>11601124
Damn. This makes minifigs less desirable to get now.

>>11601024
>>11601031
I lost the files for those projects, but if I recall it correctly, Giant could be build with existing pieces. You just need a big fig donor set for the interior.

>>11601124
That back printing is horrible

I am gonna cry if our first ever Mario minifigs will be this abomination, fuck imagine if the next fortnite minifgs will be like this too and exclusives...

>>11601124
But what they even supposed to do? Sound gimmick? Imagine how expensive sets are going to be now.

>>11601148
They make fart noises

>>11601148
Apparently it will have all kinds of functions including colour scanning and app integration.

>>11601124
We can complain all we want about how this will inflate the price of minifigures, but Lego needs something unique going forward if it wants to entice people to only buy their product as the minifig copyright will eventually enter public domain. Disney for example only has like a decade until Batman and Joker hit public domain.

>>11601148
>But what they even supposed to do? Sound gimmick?
In conjunction with remote AI. Don't be surprised that kids will be able to talk to their minifigures and they will be able to answer them.

Since these little fucks break as soon as anything so much as to exists near it, what are good-ish alternativates for them?
I love my old sets but these things have always been way too fragile and shattered even way back when.

>>11601159
>disney
You mean wb/dc, right?

>>11601140
My complain about the giant is that brick-built things that have to move and be articulate are often super fragile and finnicky.
I guess if you want to expose him in a singular pose it is fine, and frankly it is a very cool looking guy.

>>11601124
LMAO
gazillions of dollars on electronics
they STILL cheap-out with thin white ink printing on the legs.

WHY can't Lego print WHITE on a color, any color, and make it look solid white? are they not embarrassed by that constant fail?
that's rhetorical, I know the answer is they simply don't care(?)

(pic related is a very generous example, in reality the printing on the legs looks very grey but I'm too lazy to find a better/worse pic)

>>11601124
Am I the only one who's not surprised by this? Hell, when I was a kid, I always said that future LEGO minifigures would talk, have lights and sounds, and move on their own. Of course, I was wrong about the last part, but I was right about the rest.

I'm probably going to buy a few smart brick sets depending on the price or at least one, for the sake of novelty and as a piece of LEGO history. This concept definitely isn’t going away, especially since it's rumored that LEGO spent over half a billion dollars developing it. I even read that the number might be around $750 million. That’s crazy.

>>11601175
>why can't Lego
I read it's because of their printing machines, they make more sets than they ever did and the machines are exhausted or something like that

>>11601124
Can I put porn sounds on it?

>>11601124
>waifu minifigs will become a reality soon
I don't know how to feel about this

>>11601124
Yeah this just confirms to me that Lego is losing the child market to electronics and its trying ANYTHING to rope them back in. Also hilarious how these are all going to have side torso printing but they couldn't even afford to offer dual molded legs in the most expensive Lego set of all time. Beyond parody.

>delorean can have 2 minifigs but batmobiles can't
>delorean is also cheaper than batmobiles
This company decision making makes no fucking sense

>>11601124
yeah but WHAT DOES IT MEAN
WHAT DOES IT MEAN??
WHAT THE FUCK THEY DO???

lego minifigures are ULTRA-small. tiny!
what does it do?
it sure cant walk ot swing the sword around because Lego minifig is basically an almost 5POA figure. and can do very basic articulation...

if it will be standing and doing "arm goes up" and "arm goes down" it will be.... "gee thanks i guess..." kind of reaction.
Nothing to be impressed buy.
Lego minifigs are way to tiny to impress anyone with super electronic stuff inside because there is not that much space inside to make them do cool moves...

>>11601207
They make sounds, fart and poop noises were the most popular with test children

>>11601175
>gazillions of dollars on electronics
Sounds....
FAMILIAR...

>>11601124
So they can print the side of a torso? Why is no one pointing that out?

>>11601214
The investment of light-up lightsabers relative to this new smartbrick tech is incomparably miniscule.

>>11601124
cant wait for the first exploding-minifigure-related-house-fire case

Why are you faggots pretending that Lego isn't the BEST it's ever been? There's never been more options, the builds have never looked better, and the hobby has never been more popular. How ignorant do you have to be?

>>11601214
These would have been cool if they weren't weirdly melded with the hands. Could they really not figure out a way to overmold a hand shape onto it?

the side-torso printing is 100% going to scratch-off with the arms rubbing on it

do they seriously think people will see this icon and not toss it in the trash eventually? it's such a "well, we followed the rules and put it on there!" maneuver. these will be played with (rub off the icons) then sit on shelves for 50 years, then, ALL get tossed in the landfills. (3% will have attentive people who "know" about it? maybe 5%?)

such an irresponsible kick-the-can deferment of responsibility. hey, it's the consumer, not us! WE put the icons on it! on that tiny tiny piece of plastic.

>>11601296
I blame EU for this shit, you wouldn't see crap like this if Lego were an American company.

>>11601296
>these will be played with (rub off the icons) then sit on shelves for 50 years, then, ALL get tossed in the landfills.
that's the entire hobby nowadays. most sets, including kids' sets, have too many specialized, small pieces for people to bother taking them apart and building new things, it's all shelf warmers. Destined to be thrown out one day rather than passed down to children. No one is going to take apart their UCS Falcon or Rivendell.

>>11601124
So many decades old collections are going to be destroyed by leaking battery acid from minifigures into tubs

>>11601309
>please don’t
You can’t tell me what to do!

>>11601301
I thought the lego movie taught us that's bad

I might have a problem. I'm building 2-3 different fleets, with help from rebrickable. The republic fleet will get a Venator in January, but if that isn't in proper scale with Acclamator and Invisible Hand, I will be with a rebrickable one that is.
I also have a bunch of companion ships to Home One coming up in bricklink mail: MC80 Liberty, MC80 Defiance, x2 dreadnoughts, and a Dauntless class. All in scale to a properly calculated Home One (not the ridiculous 1200 meters that's officially claimed, that's how long a normal MC80 is).
Lastly, I'll get a rebrickable Munificent in scale with the rest of the Republic and Seppie ships. I really really like the starships line. I skipped Falcon because it's too iconic and I don't care about it, and it's more of a starfighter than a capital ship. And who gives a shit about sequels, I skipped Kylo Ren's shuttle.
Obligatory complaint about smart brick sets goes here. At least I'll have more money for other things in 2026, and the Ganondorf diorama wont buy itself.

>>11601296
You know they put it there because they're legally obligated to, right? Retard.

>>11601311
The Lego Movie tried to teach us that lesson, but people failed to learn it.

it adds to the epic level meta commentary of that movie. it truly is an amazing film

(did you recognize Lord Business was a red power necktie with the cape?)

>>11601318
Based fleet builder. You for sure have at least 200 hours in Empire at War.
Have you considered the playset Malevolence? From what I can tell it's almost perfectly scaled to the Invisible Hand.

>>11601321
Oh shit, no I hadn't! I'll have to do some calculations on length some time. If it was a unique ship though (no sister ships) I'm not sure I'm as interested. I haven't watched The Clone Wars.

>>11601319
>because they're legally obligated to, right? Retard.
um... retard? kinda unnecessary. I'm not even going to say you are, because that was my point.

sure, they "have to" put that on there, but the fact that it will likely rub off, and it's on a small object, and when the arm is down, you can't see it even if it doesn't rub off.... that's all irresponsible.

perhaps they want to throw the blame back on "the system"? hey, they approved it, the tiny, hidden, probably rubbed-off warning.

these WILL wind up in the trash. I don't know the science of how they poison the ground, but they will. the little warning is ridiculous.

>>11601311
We went from lambasting adult manchildren who pretend Lego is a sophisticated interlocking brick system, to directly catering to them with static, display-only sets.

>>11601328
I'm definitely a manchild but I do try to be creative with Lego now and then. Before I built my 2nd Acclamator, I tried my hand at making a republic Victory Star Destroyer, from the bones of a rebrickable alt build. It took me over a month and still I was dissatisfied with the slope of the hull being incorrect. It was definitely a nice "zen" thing to do though, and I honed a skill doing it (be nice, I don't have many spare parts and am an amateur builder).

>>11601332
At least you build your own sets. It drives me mad when I see faggots begging for something like a Tie Avenger, as if without Lego's intervention, it would never see the light of day. Make it yourself, that's the whole fucking point of the hobby. It's pathetic.

>>11601296
I'm amused by the idea that someone would throw out the toy they spent 100 bucks on the instant the warning telling them not to rubs off

>>11601334
Agreed, though I can understand why. It requires an insane amount of spare Lego to build with, or a decent chunk of change ordering parts on Bricklink. It's usually cheaper to have Lego make an official set. That said, some aren't too expensive: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-236008/codyaner.bricks/tie-avenger-75300-6x-30708-alternate-model/#details

>>11601124
Minifigs with led sabers when? The Kinder egg toys 25 years ago had mini toys with led functions in it. They only have to mold one arm/saber combo with a led in it and they can just recolor it to different jedis/siths

This shit’s gonna tank worse than dimensions.

>>11601296

How do you even fail at printing stickers in the right shades?

>>11601361
Or vidiyo?

>>11601370
It is shocking. Some of it is actually a fault with the impossible task of color matching inconsistent plastic coloring (lol). But mostly? They know they need to set their machines to X to produce quality and consistent results. Yet they set it to (0.75)X because it saves them 4 cents on every sheet! And kids are too stupid to notice! That’s Lego’s motto: Good Enough I guess

>>11601243
Buying child sets as adult is ironically the most adult thing you can do

>>11601395
Yeah I noticed this on the starship Tantive IV, the 8 stickers on the engines are a much brighter white than brick white. Doesn't bother me too much but it still sucks. Same with Boarding the Tantive IV.

>>11601399
>overpriced trash that isn't even meant to be disassembled
Modern lego above Duplo is overdesigned and not intended to be disassembled. No child wants to take apart a 400+ piece eight-stud wide car, and even if he would, all the pieces are tiny and unfun to assemble something of your own accord. This isn't the 90s anymore.

It's the worst idea Lego have ever had.

>Batteries expand over time and can be known to explode and leak and these ones are seemingly permanently in-place with no method to remove.
>Requires wireless recharging which degrades battery life and cause overheating issues.
>It's unclear what technology is actually inside the figure and there's no 'off switch' to any of it.
>It devalues the visuals of the figure as the warnings are printed on the figures sides.
>The torso is attached to the legs so the figures are not as customisable.
Lego may create versions of characters using this that have never had a normal figure, meaning we miss out on the normal figures - imagine MCU Doctor Doom comes with this junk, or perhaps Symbiote Spider-man?
>Lego will use it as an excuse to raise prices further and keep prices raised even in sets without the AI Bricks.
Lego raised prices and switched to paper bags for renewability and is now creating figures with a bunch of electronics nobody wanted that cannot be recycled and will need to be disposed of much more regularly as opposed to normal figures.

>>11601411
>switched to paper bags for renewability
lol
lmao

Wait what? There are chances the smart bricks and smart minifigs might explode???? Why would they sell that????

>>11601124
this is the icon they chose for the Poop Noise Brick. expect to see this [ugly] graphic all over the place.

I'm not going waste energy trying to think of something better, since that's the graphic they picked, but c'mon, there had to have been a better graphic, right? maybe something without a question mark? (?)

lol the question mark is the most accurate thing about this impending disaster: like... why?

the only non-slop non-18+ sets Lego has put out recently are the construction vehicles subline in City.

A guarantee that smart bricks will just be a phase and will be cancelled.

There's also a refreshing lack of the usual "It's a children's toy", "poor", "sour grapes", "I'm still buying it", and "Lego derangement syndrome" suspects but I'm sure they'll inevitably start popping up out of their holes. The blowback makes me feel optimistic that this storm will clear up soon and it will be another weird footnote in Lego's history after it flops. Sometimes, you guys are alright.

>>11601559
there's only 1 reason this will flop:

PRICE

I don't care how amazing that electric brick is, or how the electric figures interact with it. even if they levitated off the table and did backflips on their own. if it lights up, cool. people can make poop noises with their own mouths... it won't be "worth" the asking $$$$

the only reason Vidiyo "flopped" was because the sets were twice as expensive as the other Lego sets. the sets themselves were amazing. as a matter of fact, I might even go so far as to say the sets were superior to the regular sets available at the time. but nobody bought them, because of the PRICE

>>11601568
No one bought them because they were stupid mishmash crap with that terrible salmon and turquoise color scheme AND they were overpriced.

>>11601575
I love how these smart bricks fail on all fronts in appealing to people. Parents are going to be sickened by both the price increase and for defeating the purpose in giving their kids something to play with that doesn't involve apps and for adult fans, those fucking soulless battery disposal symbols and general ewaste-ifying of mini-figs is outright blasphemous to the appeal of the brand. Hell, I would think that kids would get tired of them quickly in favor of actual vidya/apps or regular and cheaper electronic toys like those roaring Jurassic Park dinos. As shitty as the world can be sometimes, I'm glad that more and more people are discovering that premium pricing =/= quality.

Basically, they fail in terms of visuals, affordability, and long-term preservation.

>>11601599
Personally I just can't wait for Lego's PR department to freak out when people upload videos of their minifigs saying racial slurs and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

>Pig and tan horse disappeared from PAB when I was going to place my order today

So are they supposed to be "game" playsets or regular sets with smartfigs? If it's the latter I'd be interested depending on how it's implemented.

Is it confirmed all pokemon sets will have dumb smart bricks?

No one complained about super mario digifig having batteries so why complain about smart minifigs? You know they won't blow up/explode, right? Lego knows what they are doing. They think of all safety measures.

>>11601819

Surely not the upcoming Toy Story sets, right? You know, the movie about technology dulling children's imagination?

>>11601826
It's very possible.

Also, there will be some minifigures that are 100% Smart Bricks exclusive, at least in 2026.

>>11601822
Right now, only one Animal Crossing set will include Smart Bricks, and it's releasing in March. The regular AC sets should come out in June or August, but they might include more Smart Bricks. For non-minifigure themes like Mario (for now) and Pokémon, they will feature the Smart Brick itself, but no smart minifigures.

>>11601827
I also think we might finally get Mario minifigs, but they will be smart minifigs, since they are retiring all course building system sets in June 2026 and there's rumours of atleast 10-12 new Mario sets in August 2026. All I know is Lego put a pause on first half Animal Crossing and Mario sets releases for this soft reboot and to make space for the Pokémon launch.

There was a rumour we might get a smart brick built Toad next year.

>>11601827
>>11601828
There's no way they don't flop, right?

>>11601827
If there needs to be at least one smart minifig included, the new tablet villain is the only one that makes sense and even there it's not only unnecessary, made obsolete by an actual tablet, and goes against the spirit of Toy Story.

>>11601828
If that happens, you just fucking know Nintendo is trolling the everloving piss out of their adult fans. Lego might be just as greedy and out of touch but Nintendo pulling a deliberate monkey's paw like that is too on the nose spiteful for it to come across as unintentional.

>>11601830
>Nintendo is trolling the everloving piss out of their adult fans
Anon, they just released one of their cheapest games ever with Pokemon Z-A and their fans love it and made it a hit. Nintendo fans will pay for it, combine it with lego not giving a fuck and it's a recipe for success.

It really doesn't make any sense. Lego (especially when it comes to star wars) is going all-in on catering to adults. Adults don't give a shit about legos having "smart bricks" that make noises when you swoosh them around. To a kid, this might be cool, but these sets are so expensive that kids can't buy them, just the adults. The adults who don't give a shit.

And so here we are with 90 dollar smart brick X-wings that are barely bigger than microfighters, that cost that much ostensibly because of the smart brick shit, but are too expensive for kids to get, and too dinky for adults to want. So who the fuck is this for?

>>11601400
This shit is one of the reasons why I haven't bothered with stickers since getting back into building legos. My lego heyday as a kid was when practically everything was printed. So now I just take the sticker sheets unused and keep them in the instruction manuals and pack them away. Even the big UCS ships like Jango Slave I I'd rather keep unstickered than put those fucking things on. I'm even fine having blank control panels and whatnot, I can just use my imagination, better than a goddamn sticker.

>>11601916
>So who the fuck is this for?
I remember hearing the theory that Lego is trying to "un-pleb" itself by creating more and more ridiculously expensive and/or large premium products that only a premium customer base can and want to afford, weeding out the undesirable poorfags and little Timmys who want to buy a $5 buildable car from their pocket money.

>>11601933
I'm familiar with that theory. I don't know if it's true or not, but if it is, the overpriced smart brick idea still doesn't make any sense. Pricing out little Timmy in order to sell 1000 dollar sets to soijaks is one thing, but the 18+ crowd with deep pockets isn't going to be interested in buying a 90 dollar microfighter that makes sounds. They're not swooshing their x-wings around in the bathtub.

I think this is just vidiyo all over again. But this time they're trying to force the meme by attaching it to all new licensed sets.

This little bag of plastic toys yielded a few real Lego bits. Today is a good day.

>>11600594
is it known if the transblue pieces are printed or stickers?

>>11600975
the original ninja theme was so kino.
then the ninjago brainrot started happening and the chance of getting another mature ninja theme will forever be a fantasy.

>>11601357
They did that like 20 years ago man. If I recall correctly you just pressed down on the head to get the light effect, but the lightsaber was basically permanently attached to the minifig.

>>11600945
>Any particular reason why I never see Lego Ideas shilled on here?
Lego Ideas can dismiss your MOC even if it's really popular, unlike BrickLink where the popular designs (in their theme) get created.

>>11600975
>We aren’t getting classic Ninja as an ideas set unfortunately, or especially wild west
People had the opportunity to get BrickLink's Wild West gold mine, but the pre-order numbers turned out to be low (see image). I think that's why Lego doesn't bother with its Wild West theme anymore.

>>11601599
The target market for these fart bricks and electric minifigs are whoever is still buying the mario sets (kids?), but I'm sure lego knows not to flood the market with expensive shit just cause one line does reasonable well...

That's the one thing I fucking hate about medieval sets, and generally all the ideas sets. For shit like Onions Wars, Ninjago, Marvel, DC, even LOTR, you can just buy chink minifigs. Quality may vary but you're not stuck paying a whole lot more for a decent army size.

But shit like medieval and pirates? Good fucking luck. You're stuck with soulless fleshies or you gotta shell out the goybucks at PAB.

Not a bad find today. Some real Lego and a few other things to add to my plastic collection.

>>11602103
>But shit like medieval and pirates? Good fucking luck.
What? You can 100% buy Knights and Pirate chinkfigs in yellow

Boy do I feel dumb right now. The parts I found were from the deep sea explorer set and I know I saw the hammer head part for the shark. I just dismissed it as an incomplete kinder egg bit. I may have to go back to the trash bin and look around some more.

Lego has done many Netflix IPs, so this is obviously on Lego's radar.

it took Lego a full year to make a set for Frozen. yeah. Disney Princess FROZEN. Elsa, Anna, the snowman guy. one. full. year. that was also an unexpected hit, very similar to what KPopDH experienced. (but more surprising, since y'know... it was... DIsney!)

so 1 year minimum. not this Xmas, but next year's Xmas.

I probably did, but I couldn't remember if it was here or somewhere else lol. someone else probably asked the same thing before, too

I don't care so no coping or dilating will happen.

I'm curious if KDH will still be popular once the sets eventually release. I don't like the character designs with their wacky unique hairstyles so I probably won't be interested in sets anyway. c'mon that purple mohawk thing looks ridiculous.

>>11602229
Lame set

Only genuine Lego(tm) is a black one. Literal white power capeshit or whatever. Now wanted the angry black woman.

I actually think the smart bricks and minifigs are not a bad idea. But they won't be executed well. We've seen the terrible looking printing on the minifigs, and both will be overpriced for a little speaker. I'm sure they'll be common in second hand bulk in 2 or 3 years time though.

-is that Anna from Frozen?
-didn't the redhead skater girl get her eyes poked out? is that a different redhead?
-I know the kids all grew up 8 years between seasons, but I don't recognize most of them, based on facial expressions or hair styles.
-speaking of hair, again we get another set that includes a hat-with-hair, and a hat on a now-bald-looking head. is the guy in the suit a bald guy? probably not.
-where's the mom and the cop guy? I know it's already got 13 minifigs, but it's still $300. they could have included a couple more. unless there's legit reasons the mom and cop guy couldn't be there?
-that van should have been its own set. among the preview merch for the season, there's tons of things with that radio station van. tons. yet Lego makes you spend $300 to get it? lame!

-at least it appears to have le epic feature to grab those two trees and "pull" the set apart? that might be kinda cool, if that's indeed what it does.

>>11603077
it was the centerpiece of last season, where the villain Vecna guy grew up or whatever. I thought I remembered a grandfather clock? oh look, it's there in the middle.

Netflix series, including Stranger Things, have that effect where you binge them in one night. wow what a night! [that series] is the coolest thing ever! ah! so good! and then two weeks later you are like... what happened? I don't remember.

What's the point of making mocs? Are they art? Or are they just for the creators enjoyment? There are tens of thousands of amazing mocs on flickr or instagram that get zero views basically.

>>11603114
Art is subjective, so I'd say they're art. I build for my own amusement. Instagram is garbage nowadays. Unless you're making videos, you're not going to get views and that's by design. I don't even know who still uses flickr. I still post stuff on instagram, but that's mostly out of habit at this point.

Why are Lego still making Strangers Things sets? Like, do people care? I keep getting targeted with Doritos ads, but do people actually care, I can't imagine there's actually Stranger Things fans still around.
The era of 80s nostalgia has come and gone, people are already feeling nostalgic for the 2000s and 2010s.
I'm just saying Lego should make sets of Netflix series people actually want, like K-pop Demon Hunters. It's more popular than Squid Game and Lego sure as hell aren't making sets based on a violent TV show.

>>11603220
Dude, ST season 4 was biggest netflix release ever, after a long gap between season 3 and 4. 5 is super hyped. The trailer for 5 is their most watches trailer ever and top 5 trailers. This season will be huge and upside down set was a top seller, lego needs now to do sets when there's hype

You guys know the smart minifigs won't be hazardous or explode, right? Lego spent over half a billion dollars on this tech, they thought of all safety testing for it. Smart minifigs will last as long as normal minifigs, for hundreds of years.

>musical
Holy shit

>>11603220
I just know that somebody at Lego was begging to get Squid Games somehow. it's got the same charm as Netflix One Piece, but alas, it's too violent and had to be rejected.

if Lego has the ability to do in-house custom minifigs (simply using the printers or whatever) then 100% somebody has a few pink-hooded guards on their desk

I hear they are doing another season of Squid Games? the other one ended with a tease of an American-location based game. IF that goes through, perhaps... one of the kid's games they play.... will be based on LEGO? in a reverse-collaboration. and somehow, Lego can make a set based off the bricks used in the show.

Not really sure what Jangs plan in life is. His youtube career is failing, and will only get worse because he isn't willing to become sponsored or shift his style to be friendlier to the algorithm.

He will never make time for the city, or anything outside of apparently working 18 hours a day making reviews. And he's been out of the tech industry since 2007, so he has no employable skills anymore, if youtube fails he loses his house. I'm assuming his wife doesn't have a career to really support them since he works so much.

Don’t worry some asshat is flooding it with promotional images so it can hit image limit and then BAM new thread!

I just saved us all the hassle.

Ever wonder why no one ever posts the front of this stupid thing?

I really hate it here sometimes

The only reason he ruined these generals is because bitchy babies like you come out of the woodwork to have a meltdown over a new thread being made early.

this was from the ideas submission. the cave the goonies' adventure takes place in is housed in a facade of one eyed willy's ship, with some other scenes from the movie. way better of a concept than 'gray pancake almost 30" around that makes you puke if you turn it around.

Bro Lego fucking sucks
