I like the old crater baseplates. They should bring those back!

Agreed on the baseplate - I would have liked to have seen them here too, but I’m pretty sure at this point, LEGO wishes they could figure out how to ship even modulars without them.

Use a grey baseplate. Make the GE about 3/4 or 2/3 the size. And brick build/snot a landing pad and some hilly terrain in the corner. Done. A better homage to the OG set.

Got these brickbuilt roads now though... don't knock the new roads. if you want a 6 stud wide scaled road, it's right there. if you want an 8 stud scaled road with a curb or a sidewalk or a shoulder or a median you can mash two of them together. it's a p' good foundation, especially if you're doing 8 wide cars and want your roads to have some real road ambiance, but it does require an obscene amount of 2x4 grey tiles

Carbohydrates posted:Hey, sure! I usually just talk about the build but I really like the real car behind this one. Yeah that was really interesting actually. I’m curious, has there ever been a build you wanted to do but just couldn’t get the design to where you liked it (excluding a limitation like a particular piece not being available in a given colour)? I imagine a Tucker Torpedo would be hard to get right (itself one of the coolest cars of all time)

Some that I've given up on (for now) include the 1972 Toyota Crown, the 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, the 1973 Olds Delta 88 from Evil Dead, and the 1960 Fiat 500. Some that I initially gave up on but then returned to and finished include the 2000 Plymouth Prowler, the 1999 Mercury Cougar, the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, and the 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt. The Prowler is a specific example of one that I only figured out when a new piece was released that I ended up using.

Galaxy explorer is a must buy. Especially if you grew up with classic space.

Maybe it's true that no one cares about classic space which means it will never come back.

Space stuff is always kinda grouped by generation. They'd have to do first UFO or Insectoids again to hit my personal nostalgia. The Galaxy Explorer does nothing for me, because I wasn't even born when the line was introduced.

Bring back the Light and Sound Spaceship. Give me one last chance to visit my parents and drive them crazy with it while they are still alive!

Attestant posted:Space stuff is always kinda grouped by generation. They'd have to do first UFO or Insectoids again to hit my personal nostalgia. Yeah, true. This anniversary was for the 80's, the 100 year anniversary will feature stuff from the 90's and after that it will be Star Wars till the end.

I dunno honestly, I was thinking the same thing at first but looking at the reviews, there's something about the way the ship is built that hits kind of old-lego vibes in a way that's absent from modern sets. Classic Space was well before my time but the way the interior of the set and its cockpit and so on come together definitely hit my nostalgia buttons a bit.

Yeah classic space was before my time though if there were similar remaster sets of Blacktron it would be hard to resist.

I am obligated to like classic space because of my age, but Futuron and Blacktron are way better looks. Probably best left in the past though, come up with some new space stuff please. Plus that's when we got visors which is little kid crack.

I'd take reimagined blacktron if it's of the same quality as the galaxy explorer.

If you live near a costco and have a membership already they have the new noodle shop for $35 and that big rear end ninjago centaur robot thing for $55. Regular $45 and $80 from what I'm seeing.

Someone got the yet to be announced 76405 Hogwarts Express Collector's Edition shipped to them instead of the Lion Knight's Castle that they ordered. The train looks fantastic, too bad about all of the Harry Potter stuff attached to it

I went to the Lego store to get Lego Mario stuff and walked out with the Speed Champions DB5 and the Mercedes AMG two-pack, and it’s all your guys’ fault. THANKS A LOT, ASSHOLES.

The train looks fantastic, too bad about all of the Harry Potter stuff attached to it true but a LOT of other, not terrible people also make money off of the franchise. I know that She Who Must Not Be Named is a garbage person but that franchise is vast. I'm not defending her, nor am I going to buy any of the HP stuff, just making conversation. It's hard to separate the art from the artist sometimes.

Regular $45 and $80 from what I'm seeing. I got this over the weekend and put it together alongside the other 3-in-1 modulars, the townhouse pet shop/cafe and the toy store. I think it's a bit unfortunate that neither of the smaller kits fit well against the cafe side of the larger one, at least not in their main configuration. Both work well abutting the pet shop, however. I also managed to pick up the 1700-piece Space Mission assortment for $55. For some reason my local costco had them set out something like one or two weeks before they were available direct from Lego.
