I just wish I had a basement room where I could hide my little dorky wonderland away. I keep my Lego out of my living room and limit my bedroom to 2 or 3 sets on display, but all my SW is displayed in this inexplicably 10 foot wide hallway that leads to the bathroom and then just ends, and the rest is in a cabinet. Either way it's always right there because I only have about 900 sq feet and it's all connected. I'm not embarrassed of my Lego or anything but I wish the first thing people saw when they came over wasn't that I had tons of Lego everywhere. At the same time I like having it on display and throwing it in a closet seems like such a waste. I just disassembled Ninjago city and put it in the closet and it was sort of painful lol.

My bother unexpectedly got me the Kylo Ren shuttle for my birthday and have not been quite so excited for a present since I was a kid. I think it has been 25 years since I played with Lego! I really want the original trilogy ships, damnn

The biggest problem with most Trek ships is that they’re so saucer-heavy and spindly that they’d have to be 90% technic just to support it all, and even then I’m sure it would still sag. Just look at the mega bloks and kre-o versions they’ve done, they all look terrible.

Sure my fingers barely worked for a few days after, but totally a great build.

I've built the Enterprise-D and the Voyager from Jerry Builds Bricks and both are reasonably solid without a support under the saucer. He's got a TNG-era shuttlecraft that looks really cool as well but the parts list isn't up on rebrickable yet. This Constitution-class ship is also a fun little build that I've given as a fake kit to a few friends.

$300 for the stadium. It's available now. Who else thinks it is going to be a huge failure and very short lived? I can see it dropping below 50% off via retailers by the end of the year.

Waltzing Along posted:$300 for the stadium. It's available now. Same. 1) I can’t imagine the Lego / Football crowds have a massive amount of overlap. 2) In that small Venn diagram intersection, they’ve got to be ManU fans, and football fans tend to be fiercely loyal to their team.

I'd never buy it but it is a really cool microscale build. Someone had fun designing that. Look at that awesome truck!  It even breaks apart into five chunks to make it easy to move around.

I'd make a joke about ManU falling apart into 5 chunks, but I don't really follow EPL. I did hear they have fallen behind the other Manchester team, though.

This is one case where the tiles spelling the team name and that adidas logo being stickers is a good thing, because I'd rather it be logo-less.

xzzy posted:I'd never buy it but it is a really cool microscale build. Someone had fun designing that. I'm greatly amused by the piece they use for the truck wheels. It's just like a very small car. I think the first place I saw it was as a trophy topper for a Speed Champions set, which feels like the intended purpose? Then the Batmobile used a big stack of them for like a weird piece of the siding. Then I saw the lego store model use them as fire truck wheels in a similar fashion to that micro truck.

That possibility just occurred to me as I was finishing my post. e: Okay yeah, Brickset lists it as "mini roller skate"  Not my fault I first saw it used as a car trophy. Either way it's really cute part usage. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jan 17, 2020 |

The part showed up in 2013 in one of the minifig series so for a while it was pretty hard to get. It's been sporadically used on other sets since then but if you scan on bricklink it got real popular in 2018.. so they're pretty accessible if you care.

The last 3 sets I've bought (the Harry Potter calendar, the LEGO store, and the new 3-in-1 Toy Shop) have used it as a set of wheels for a microbuild.

I’m on bag 22 of 24 with the Batmobile. I’m dragging rear end and only doing 1 or so bags a day because I don’t want it to end. This is the first (big) set I’ve ever done without even a moment’s worth of tedium or “oh god I have to do that 4 more times?!” It’s really just some genius-rear end design.
