I’m in a cabin on vacay. It’s been a minute since I bought a Lego set. Remind me: Midnight Eastern? Or midnight pacific? (Boutique Hotel)

More scale chat: it's funny to me that there's now two official "microfigures," the bigger ones that are two bricks tall and the ones based on a trophy mold that I've always considered "microfigure" but I guess are now called "nanofigures." https://blog.minifigures.com/lego-microfigures-minifigures-nanofigures/ So does that mean that any set scaled for nanofigures is actually a nanoscale build and not "midi"?

Great call, one of my favorite things to do on vacay is bring a large set to snap together while we chill out, it's so nice not having distractions and something fun to do in the room

Did this architectural trend in Bolivia come up here yet? https://imgur.com/gallery/JJuV8OL    I feel like these shapes, colors, and textures would translate incredibly well to Lego builds

Here's some work in progress from messing around tonight, with anything that came to mind:  The '89 Batmobile doesn't really belong and isn't at the right scale, and I can't find a way to do its fins that I like. This is another fin method I've tried that gets a better angle, but they're still not really right and it leaves an unsightly bar attachment on top of the car.

Yeah, my local one will be closed. For a lot of things here they are only guaranteed two days off a year and they are Christmas Day and New Years Day.

I kicked my Lego addiction like a decade ago before I went away to college but after getting the Elf Club House set for Christmas I’m addicted again. I don’t have room to keep every set I build unboxed so does anyone have a good shelf suggestion for boxed Lego sets??

deoju posted:owns Thanks! I have ordered parts to test-build it... reasonably certain now that the fin area isn't going to completely work but I can test the rest and have some other bits to try stuff. It's 54 parts jammed into approximately a 4x9 stud area, so every tolerance is close or zero. Hopefully I can come back with some instructions in a week or so.

Rather than all the different permutations of 1x2 brick, modified etc. they should use Ikea-style names for each individual piece

Feenix posted:Got dat boutique hotel on order.  But I got two ordered due to legos 20th century website that doesn't allow online cancellations because their shipping is too fast to allow someone to cancel an order immediately after not actually placing it but it going through anyway because whoever is running their website hasn't fixed it. Good job lego. Biggest toy company in the world can't run a proper webstore. Sigh. Now I have to waste a bunch of time trying to get a duplicate order cancelled. Actually, not a true duplicate. An order that I didn't authorize or hit the complete button, whatever, that went through anyway. In short, if you place an order, don't hit the paypal button because the order just goes through automatically without taking you to a confirmation page. Use the other button and then choose paypal as an option.

sigher posted:Honestly how the gently caress.  These are the important bits. Not sure if the pin holder in the front will have enough clutch in the weird spacebrick, but there are a few other ways to get that effect, I like the pin holder since it spans the entire gap and supports other pieces to its left and right. The rest you should be able to figure from the other pic. I think the pair of clips holding the fins are gonna have to go up one plate, but switching the roof tile to a plate makes it blend in, and adding a 1x1 plate to the underside of each fin will flush them back to the 4x4 round. Gonna order a "patch" set of parts tomorrow to prepare for that eventuality.
