Shoulda had a tv show I guess. I was meh about this set in particular but they had one out and the employee showed me the skittering legs and I was like woah bought. Plus I think it was the only red team set. Also who doesn’t like an rear end catapult. Assapult?

A couple of weeks ago, I was back at my college teaching an etiquette class to the incoming class of new members of my fraternity. They kept making jokes about how into LEGO one of the associate members was, and I checked out his youtube channel. The dude is legit talented. Click here for a poo poo ton of MOC vids in Medieval, Star Wars, and World War II themes

I kind of just want it for the bartender, and the new ep 4 Han, and maybe a little bit for the weird speeder dealie but the older model is better. They didn’t have it in stock at my tru yesterday when I went to look for the WRC Fiesta.

I got my tax return and splurged on it, thing was $45 in store but $40 online with free shipping. Built it up a bit with the evaporators from the resistance x-wing and sandspeeder and some extra rock pieces to give the bartender area a wall. I like it for a back ground to my falcon/Luke’s speeder/escape pod shelf.

I finally put together the yellow castle and encountered these bricks for the first time, drat these are gonna cause some big changes with offsetting studs once they become more common: The shanghai set seems like the fastest way to get a bunch of them for now (it has 32 in medium blue).

Sure, they were never as good as the older Space themes but I don't think they deserve a lot of the hate they get. The big specialised pieces suck, but I thought the concepts behind them were pretty solid. Speaking of big specialised pieces, they have their uses. Here's something I've been working on. It uses both sizes of UFO dish and the big Insectoid legs:

I liked the UFO line quite a bit - lots of trans green and cool helmets. Big dumb specialized parts were silly but it was kind of fun trying to find uses for them or just having something kinda bulky to build off of to give something more size without worrying about finding tons of small parts to give something structure. Looking at some Nexo and Ninjago I'm kinda jealous of kids who get to grow up with that. There so much weaponry and minifig accesories that I would have loved to have as a kid. I wasn't big into the medieval and more fantasy lines that were around at the time so I always had a lack of weaponry that wasn't Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Feb 26, 2018 |

Minifig accessories weren't that big a deal to me in the 80's.. what I loved was the greebles which was a rare commodity back then. I never had enough hoses or antennas. Now it almost feels like lego has swung too far in the other direction, they're basically cranking out technic sets with a bunch of cheese wedges stuck to them, but it's hard to not see that this technique provides a lot more play options for a set.

Ninjago was/is such a huge force. It's gonna be really interesting to see how it's remembered in a decade or so. Some of the kids who were into the first wave are probably getting close to college age now. I wonder if any flippers have hoarded some of the early stuff.

Yep, 1x3 with the top studs offset 50% like the 1x2 versions.

If the top studs are hollowed like that, you could stack another 1x3 on top of it using the interior studs! Leave that one for future generations to find and

Make the primary color dark azure and I'm down. Secondary color is not as important, light grey would obviously be the classic space choice but green or orange could be worth a look too. Or even white. The real issue is choosing which transparent shade to use. Trans yellow or trans orange would create immediate nostalgia for some, but I bet light blue would look nice too.

Is it time for retro-Space all-stars? I’d like to see Ice Planet 2002 (Rebranded as Ice Planet 2020?) and Spyrius with some modern building techniques. I’m also okay with sets lacking magnets due to safety concerns. Swallowing one magnet isn’t so bad, but two or more...
