It's the last day of double VIP points so I went ahead and bought the Corner Garage before it goes out of print, but apparently I'll only get the 2700 points that the set is worth?

That’s double the value. £159.99 x 8 (£1 is 8 points) = 1279.92, but Lego site says I’ll get 2560 points, which is double.

veni veni veni posted:It's a few pins how did it take 2 people 50 minutes to install? I think I had the whole thing mounted and displayed in about 10 minutes by myself. The top two pegs went right in, but the bottom ones just weren't lining up at all. Maybe it was the fact that the stand was knockoff parts from yourwobb. I noticed while building it that stuff just didn't fit like genuine lego parts would, with sometimes zero tension on parts meant to keep crossbars in place. Also two pieces were missing but I had lego spares in another color. It all got forced together eventually though so now I just have to wait for our cat to try to knock it over. Got the corner garage in, but I'm more looking forward to the pick a brick which just shipped, and trying to figure out where I intended all the individual pieces to go.

Lizard Combatant posted:Yes! This is very flattering, I'll send you the parts list and instructions for the white version if you like. Was planning on building one first but I'll dig them out. I ran into two problems with doing a snow version. One, the color availability of the snowshoes used in the front is low, I had to go with black. Two, I somehow only ordered one.  Anyway, I basically swapped black to gray, and brown to white. And the vendor who's literally the closest to me on Bricklink took forever to ship.

Pick a brick takes so long it’s insane. They should really open it up to whatever they have in production for pieces/colours, not just surplus.

I have the same one or similar, sourcing real parts was expensive and a pain, and yeah you can definitely feel the quality difference. I had to trash the pins and use real Lego ones. The stand itself is rock solid though. I have rammed my Falcon with my shoulder probably 20 times on accident and it barely budges. A cat would probably have hard time knocking it over.

Stream tonight, 7PM Central (in about 3.5 hours), and it should be an interesting one. Gonna look at the 2021 Bricklink Design Program Invitational, what it's all about, what to expect, changes from last year, and some deep dives into some of the available models (including revisions made since their IDEAS-era submissions, and changes made since the 2021 BDP went live). I haven't seen anyone do really deep coverage on this yet and figured I should! Carbohydrates fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Apr 20, 2021 |

I guess I got lucky, or maybe it's because I only ordered about $20 worth of parts, but it only took 6 days to ship mine. The lack of selection meant the stuff that is available was pretty easy to just browse through, and I like that it's all new. I imagine it'd be infuriating if I had a parts list I was trying to source, but it was more like "hmm, yeah I guess I could use some of those, and ooh some of those and why not throw in these too" so it worked out.

Earth posted:I’ll wait for pictures. This looks too much like a wishlist from some Uber fan. It seems to line up with the current and upcoming Disney+ offerings, so it wouldn’t surprise me too much if it were true. Synergy and all that jazz. Personally, I’ll hold out for a “What If” Ward Meachum as Iron Fist figure.

It's kinda great to see blokes getting a bit teary on the telly. The Fox was magnificent. I think the wrong team went home, but I understand the rationale. I was a little surprised the ballerina wasn't subjected to more scrutiny. The proportions weren't great.

That R2 looks really nice. Official pictures of the Shang-Chi sets are out. I bummed/pissed they used light nougat for the heads. The cast is east Asian ffs. I know they've used nougat for Dr. Wu from Jurassic Park and Cho Chang from Harry Potter previously.

Finished the shuttle, it's rad. The front landing gear doesn't come down properly and I cannot be bothered to take it apart to figure out why not, but fortunately it just looks like the real thing when it's tilted down at the nose like that.

D'oh! Apparently May 1-5 is double VIP for Star-Wars stuff, along with the Tatoonie promo. Little bummed to know I could have gotten both for my Razor Crest had I known sooner/waited.

For tonight's stream, my somewhat LEGO-inexperienced partner will be attempting one of my (difficult) car builds while drinking! We'll see how far they make it. In 1hr 15min / 7PM Central. Note that it's on their channel there, as linked, not on Brickening.
