I prefer my childhood memories of the sound and feel of digging through a giant bucket

I like doing loose sorting. Like, I separate vaguely similar part types so I can find what I need quickly but I’m still digging in buckets mostly. The idea of separating every part in to different little drawers stresses me out just thinking about it lol.

veni veni veni posted:Also Carbs was right. the classic robin minifig immediately shot up from $15 to 50 because of this set I'm glad I had picked one up when Carbs pointed it out, because the market did what it does best -- absolutely poo poo the bed. Not having a Robin in the set seems like a weird decision... if they were going to release other Classic TV Batman sets this year, sure, I get leaving Robin out in order to force a second sale. But leaving it entirely to a secondary market thing? This is the same Lego that inexplicably gave us ever member of the Bad Batch in a single set, but not arguably the most iconic duo in popular culture? Weird all around.

This thread is constantly tempting me to go up to the enormous unsorted piles of lego in the attic, but I am saved by having no room. I have all the parts of the classic sets up there though. Blacktron, M-Tron, Pirates, Castle, Ice Planet, Aquazone, Space Police.

Tbh as much as I like the Ceaser Romero joker I feel like it would have made more sense to include robin and not him. The set really feels lacking without Robin. Hopefully they do another classic Batman set soon to rectify this because I’m not paying 50 bux for a mini figure.

Actually in the unlikely event someone has an extra classic robin they’d be willing to trade I will make it worth your while. I have an extra Zuckuss who is himself generally pretty pricey and a bunch of of CMFs, comic book stuff and Disney trilogy characters I don’t care about. Basically anything but my OT stuff is on the table.

I almost bought one myself when you made that post and I didn't because I'm an idiot and assumed that eventually another classic Robin would be made. Maybe it'll still happen!

I can see a Batgirl on the Batbike, and Catwoman in her car set coming, and them throwing Robin in with them.

Except I forgot all about it. Oh well. Not really a priority, though. Starting to wonder what the Xmas set will be this year. I hope it's a good one. The last few have been...disappointing, at best.

Carbohydrates posted:I bought my Classic Robin when they were cheap (when I made my apparently accurate predictive post about it) in anticipation of buying the 66 Batmobile but then never got around to buying said set, because I'm not really buying lego sets these days at all. I'll send it your way for what I paid: $17 and shipping, if you want. Wow, thanks! I would love that! Just PM me your Paypal and I'll send $$ over. You rock!

Cojawfee posted:The Wall-E set is what got me back into regular lego. I got back into Lego a year or so before Wall E, but before that I was mostly buying sets from a friend at huge discounts, and buying cheap ones from the store. Paying $70 for a set seemed wild to me at the time, but I said screw it and got Wall E because it was so good. I wish I still had that kind of self control. I don't know how I got to the point where I'll just drop $300+ on a set without thinking twice.

I be pretty surprised if they did another 66 batman set. The batmobile is by far the most recognizable thing from that movie/show. Though a penguin submarine or bat copter would be neat. Edit: Oh, they should do the exploding octopus! That thing looked so cool.

Cojawfee posted:The Wall-E set is what got me back into regular lego. A combination of Wall-E and the Saturn V here. Bought it from Toys R Us, and took it to work the day after I built it. It stayed in my desk there until I transitioned home in early 2019 and has been on my desk at home since. He will never get taken apart, it is too perfect of a set.

I want to get the Saturn V but it takes up the area of like 3 sets on its own and I have limited space.

Was going to say, the Saturn V easily takes up the least space of any set I have.

There's her Batbike, the Batcycle with sidecar, the Batcoptor, and the Batboat they could do and add a Robin too (particularly the Batcycle, since the sidecar came off and was a little vehicle on its own.)

I've seen people reminiscing for Aquazone a few times. There are some new Ninjago sets about to release that seem to be very aqua inspired.

I got some cheap bowls for putting LEGO in as i take sets apart, thought others might be interested: https://www.target.com/p/37oz-plastic-cereal-bowl-orange-room-essentials-8482/-/A-81305125 I've been using plastic stadium cups but the wider mouth on these means i can just chuck a brick at them

I've been using these for years. The price feels like it's gone up but for 48 sorting bins it still feels reasonable because they stack neatly and can efficiently fill a box too. https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/little-bin-plastic-stacking-bins-2-3-4-x-5-1-4-x-3-yellow

I usually end up grabbing dishes out of the cupboard for larger sorting projects (until the pieces can be returned to their respective bags)

In line at the lego store this morning- they are passing out order forms in the line to speed things up. So weird. E: they just went back to curbside(?) yesterday but are doing this to let one person in the store at a time since it’s a launch day Dogen fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Aug 1, 2021 |
