https://brickset.com/article/93274/cardboard-boxes-to-replace-tubs-for-pick-a-brick-purchases

It looks like Lego is phasing out PAB cups in favor of cardboard boxes that are approximately similar in volume. It seems like a good change to me. Actually being able to properly stack plates and bricks, while also allowing for significantly higher quantities of the larger pieces like stairs or the 1x12x3 arches.

Those cups are great storage bins though. But it is a good move in the long run.

I'm happy. It's got that Zonda vibe. I think the nose in particular looks lovely. It's also one of the most difficult cars I've put together, and I designed the drat thing.

Sorry, guy.
Just put together Dried Flowers. A very nice display and easily one of the least fun times I’ve ever had building Lego. At a certain point of already tedious, fiddly building, there’s just nowhere easy to grab onto to hold it while you put in new pieces, etc.

Yeah. I've noticed that the build experience with a lot of botanical sets is less than ideal. At first you'll go 'Oh, that's a neat use of that part' - and then you have to repeat that same step eight or sixteen times. I got the Chinese New Year money tree a while ago, and while the end result is really pretty, the road to getting there was definitely one of the most tedious builds I've done in a long time.

drat you all are pretty serious about LEGO huh? playing with LEGO and smoking weed is all I really want to do. like five years ago a friend was thinking about trying to start a public access tv show about people living their dreams, they actually shot me building a 1960s VW bus and later a Batman set too. LEGO is dope, but I obviously don't take it as seriously as some of you.

what folder did this thread get moved out of anyway? welcome to byob, thread regulars.

honestly if i didnt want dumb unexpected poo poo like threads i follow going walkabout across forums i wouldnt have stuck around these dying comedy forums as long as i have

content i picked up the lightyear ship and zurg sets from the target sale and they were ok

ship is heck of swooshable but i was hoping for a more interesting build and im always a sucker for purple bricks and ball joints

didnt see the movie so i have no emotional attachment to the sets or minifigs beyond colors and shapes

i appreciate the thread consensus on sets i shouldnt miss you cats rarely steer me wrong

Also if you run out of green, you can mix blue and yellow bricks in equal proportion to make some more.

I hope you all will indulge while I post yet another of my Ghostbusters expanded universe creations. I had this idea three years ago so it is fun to finally make it.

Winston:"After taking care of Viggo there was still lots of negatively charge Mood Slime under the city that we needed to neutralize."


Ray:"This is the Subterranean Psychomagnetheric Ectoplasm Mitigation Unit."


Winston:"We start by creating a positive environment with free concerts with our state-of-the-art sound system.


Ray:"Then we use a pair of modified ground-penetrating radar units as subwoofers to target the concentrates of slime."
Winston: "We call them the Thumpers."


Ray: "These readings are good, but we need to kick this party up a notch."
Winston: "I've got just just the thing."

If you are curious here is a link to the rest of my GB builds if you haven't already seen them.

Please stop moving the Lego thread without prior input from the posters, it doesn't matter how much any of the mods think "Oh the Lego thread will be fun in this forum", it has been previously asked to stop moving the thread because it puts weird expectations on the Lego thread regulars to adapt to a forum culture that they did not ask to be sent to.

I don't even dislike BYOB, I think they're alright people, it's just annoying that we have a mod doing the same thing that the thread asked not to happen again when it was previously sent to the financial forum.
