Same here, I'm really stoked they went with Storm's most radical costume. There's supposedly separate parts to build a sentinel mixed in with each of the X-Men. Moon Knight is looking pretty phenom too. The rumored Kang turned out to be Goliath from What If...? season 2.BaconCopter posted:

Question: I thought that Lego didn't have the rights to selling action figures of a lot of licensed properties, so how do they sell the minifig only CMF lines? Or is it only star wars they can't do that on? That is a great Storm fig, though.

Love the face for Agatha.  Storm is the only one I want.

I don't know what CMF stands for and at this point I'm afraid to ask

Castle and forest hideout are on the way, next month I'll get Hokusai's Great Wave and Galaxy Explorer and that should be enough to keep me busy and have a little collection on display

Isn't the rumour that there's a Sentinel minifig spread across several characters (ie head with one, body with another etc)?

This month's LUG challenge is to design a vehicle based on a specific minifigure and their personality. I have chosen the classic LEGO skeleton, and to everybody's shock, I made it a car.    It's fun to make pure fantasy stuff sometimes.

The drivetrain in that car must be an engineering disaster trying to connect to the rear axle but function follows form, right??

Nice. If I saw that build IRL and you told me it was from the old Monster Hunters line I would believe you.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Isn't the rumour that there's a Sentinel minifig spread across several characters (ie head with one, body with another etc)? Yeah, among the 3 X-men ‘97 figures. Though one Minifig was misinterpreted already(They thought it was Kang but it was Goliath) so the Sentinel parts might be a mistake as well.

Does anyone else like to do their build sessions by bag? Like today I’m gonna tackle bag #1. This was my go to until i started building the mclaren formula 1 car. For some reason there’s only 5 steps of bags for this absolute monster. I’ve been on bag 2 for 5 days now lmao

On big sets I usually do one bag per sit-down. I might do two or three per day but with long breaks between. It's mostly to extend the build process, I like the building part and being able to see a half-completed set gives time to appreciate the techniques that went into it.

A Speed Champions set that's like 2 bags? yeah just do that in one sitting. (But for the ones with multiple cars, its one car at a time) But modulars are nice to draw out with one or two bags at a time.

Speaking of bag numbering. What does anyone else think of the new style used in the Markets? Previously, in big sets, you'd have two #1 bags, one big and one small. And 2 or 3 #2s and so on. But in the Markets, every bag is individually numbered. But you will usually have a step that uses multiple bags anyway. My guess is to avoid confusion for people who don't realize there are 2 #1 bags. I suspect they will continue doing this in the future.

Every time I sit down and say "ok I'm going to savor this and build it one bag at a time" and then every time I stop everything im doing and the set is finished. Just one more bag, man.

I used to practically take it as a challenge that I had to finish the entire build in one go, even to the point I frankly wouldn’t even be enjoying myself by the latter stages. I’ve since stopped because that was an insane attitude. With the rare exception that looks particularly spectacular, like 90% of the fun I have with Lego these days is the build, so I try to drag it out as long as possible.

I love doing 5000+ jigsaw puzzles so hunting for the piece is half the fun (ok more like a quarter) otherwise I feel like I blow through the build way too quickly.

https://buildersbrewcafe.com/ this just opened in Sheffield. A cafe where you can build lego, either sets or DIY, reasonable cover charge of £3 per person per hour. Looks like an interesting concept and a fun extension of the board game and videogame cafes that are already popular, trip report after I go

cool, i’ve been saying someone should do something similar for years. there are some sets out there i think would be a fun build but wont actually buy due to space limitations or price. probably sucks for the person who has to take them apart at the end of the day.

It's any technic bits that make stuff hard to disassemble. Everything else you can pop out pretty quick with a separator. Except stacked plates. I wince every time lego has me put a 1x4 on top of a 1x4.

Yep, that's a 3-separator job right there. Spending the last few weeks mostly disassembling stuff has also absolutely destroyed my fingers. There are cuts and cuticles and jagged skin all over the place.

I left the big BMW bike on my desk in engine stage forever when I built it because it looked so neat already (also my first technic set i think). mik posted:This is why I unironically dump all bags into a single box and go from there. I love doing 5000+ jigsaw puzzles so hunting for the piece is half the fun (ok more like a quarter) otherwise I feel like I blow through the build way too quickly. I did this for the first couple sets but the sound of me rummaging through the box would drive my roommate insane lol (also one time my fingers started to go numb a little  )

Today I did off-brand lego mini zapdos. Very confusing instructions (all 8 steps!) and very fragile one-stud connections. But now there's a thunder bird on my desk
