Borsche69 posted:i think my big thing with the lego numbers is that there doesn't seem to be any loving rhyme or reason to them. if all the castle sets were like 6-something, or they all ended in 6 or somethign that made it easy to differentiate from other sets. with other numbers to differentiate on the size of the set and if minifigures are in it and the year its released and so on. The only obvious one is that 3-in-1 sets start with 31.

I was travelling to visit family yesterday. Really wish I had known that the small toy store next to a train station where I had a transfer just put all the 2024 stuff on the shelves already. Picked up the T-rex skull and Sora's Elemental Tech Mech, since that's pretty much all I had room for in my bags. Skull was a blast to build.

Meaning people in LA don't call LAX, uh whatever dumb official name it has, and instead just LAX. Whereas most people call the Chicago airports O'Hare and Midway.

I'm building the Bowser/Kamek airship for my kid via knockoff importer and basically had to one pile it. Which wouldn't be too bad but wow, I am not enjoying this build. It's half fiddly technic stuff, half giant pieces, with very little interesting in the building itself. Makes me really appreciate building the galaxy explorer last year Edit; whew, finished it. I do appreciate how it levers/pulls apart but it really just doesn't "work". I have high hopes for Bowser castle now trevorreznik fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Dec 26, 2023 |

I just finished the midi-scale Executor that I gifted to myself. I can’t wait for more ships in this size. It’s such a perfect balance of large enough to have some good detail, but small enough that I can keep it on display.

They did a midi-sized one a few years back (8099) but nothing since, and I've a feeling they could do a better job now. There's a rumor of an updated midi-sized Falcon coming soonish, but I haven't heard of any others. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 08:04 on Dec 26, 2023 |

Merry christmas lego thread! I got my partner the piranha plant. I thought that would be a suprise because it was supposed to be backordered until next year but shipped early. She got me the creator expert santa's workshop from 2014, new in box. She wins christmas this year.

Pick a part is soooo much better than the last time I used it a couple years back, night and day. My question is if delivery got any better. Last time I had ordered it was loving DHL out of Poland, I had quicker delivery times buying random crap from Ali express.

Piranha plant looks even better in person than in the product shots. Set of the year?? It's got my vote.

xzzy posted:Piranha plant looks even better in person than in the product shots. My friend showed me his built version and I thought it was bordering on too frail. The head is so, so heavy on that small support. I think it's great for an adult set, but I'd be petrified of letting my kid near it. Speaking of which, I believe he's currently smashing the bowser airship apart with Mario. For all my complaints about that line, they did do a good job of knowing their target audience and building for them.

Piranha plant set looks good but yeah it’s hard to pose the way you want. Currently building the coruscant guard gunship with my son and i think I underestimated how large it is.

My FIL gave my wife $100 to get me a gift so I choose this and goddamn that was fun. Although my eyes were sick of the endless grey by the end but it was needed.    I used to listen to the movie soundtracks on spotify - seems they got rid of the albums with the entire score and now just a basic 45-50minute run through of the movies.

It would mean more gray, but the set honestly looks better with only one side completed. Like the ship is under construction.

What if the interior structure really is that garish on the actual ships, you just never see it behind bulkheads.

HootTheOwl posted:One day they're going to fix ssd panel gaps and sell the set for eleventy thousand dollars On the SSD I'm sure it would be too small, but I feel like on the UCS ISD the gap could have probably been fixed via brackets and cheese wedges. It's only really that noticeable from a top down view though and probably not from the way anyone would display it. I only really notice on mine if I move it.

Looks like they are doing all the ninjago city sets as mini builds. I bet they'll look rad together. I might bricklink all the pieces. [Video link is timestamped.] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4OTkj1pPmM&t=116s

Ease of construction and keeping certain parts in certain colors readily available for Vader’s personal projects.
