I dig those mechs, especially the railgun one. I don't recall POVray squawking about the includes, but I'd make sure that the program has write privilages to wherever it's trying to put them. If it's not an issue, though, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Oh my god that railgun is beautiful  suddenly I want to build Metal Gear REX or ZEKE, but I know I wouldn't be able to do them justice, as mechs aren't my strong suit.

So, I became addicted to these stupid series Minifigures. Grabbed a handful of Series 10 and most of series 11. So if anyone wants to trade I've got: Series 10: 2 Extra Painters Series 11: 1 Roller Skate Waitress 1 GingerBread guy Also if you're in the GTA then we can do it quick and simple if not shipping will kill me.

Are there any places in/around the GTA that have the S11 boxes available? Or should I buy it from Amazon France? As much as I'd like to only have 1 of each figure, I can't be arsed to stand at a store, feeling every little packet, hoping I get them all and come home to find that I've got a bunch of replicas because my fingers can't tell things apart.

obi_ant posted:What are you guys using to display your mini figures? I have about 50 but I really don't want chip out $25 for a small display case here A lot of my mini figures are displayed with other sets, such as all the monster figures are with the Monster Fighter sets plus some of the double I have like the Indians, Braves and some Warriors, I replaced their heads with a zombie head, put them into a grave yard and bam Indian burial ground for the Haunted House scene. I have figs like the sax player, Paris Hilton, etc with the movie theater, the elf, gingerbread man, yeti and Santa will be with the winter village when I set it back up. I love how they can add just a little something extra to the existing sets and make them more interesting.

ltr posted:This thread needs more old space themes. Just finished my latest project and first "big spaceship," Blacktron Renegade. Missing some of the patterned bricks, but otherwise complete. And I really need to use a better camera/learn to take pictures of black things, because the pictures are not great. Love that ship, the only Blacktron 1 I'm missing (well I've got like 20% of it  )

I just got back into lego after remembering how fun it was; got a few of the Creator sets and a couple of others. Fun seeing what you can do with limited amount of bricks, I put some of those minifigure bases to use here because of lack of flat bases. Looking forward to trying to make some much better stuff soon. I just got the Ninjago mech set and also for any other UK people the Chimera 70001 is on offer unless it's just this store, I just got it this morning and it seems great value for money. Any other recommendations for low price small sets like these?

Fun seeing what you can do with limited amount of bricks, I put some of those minifigure bases to use here because of lack of flat bases. Looking forward to trying to make some much better stuff soon. I picked up that Ninjago mech to try and get back into lego too, but I've gotten into art since I was a kid and I guess I get more enjoyment designing and making stuff from that these days, a little robot didn't really do it for me  I was considering buying the cheap Chima bird glider set too, but I think I'll give it a miss now. Someone mentioned that there's an airport fire engine on the release schedule next year though, so if that's a cheaper set I might pick that up. Everyone knows Rosenbauer fire engines are the coolest fire engines.In fine lego tradition I got bored of the set I bought and rebuilt it, now its a little bad guy and his giant gorilla. I guess it could be a robot gorilla, I never really thought that part through.  I imagine all the fancy golden swords and junk to be ceremonial, and also they look kind of ugly and the two samurai swords on it's back make the little orange cones fall off really easily so I ditched 'em for the other photos.  The seat is sloped to help him sit up straight when he's riding, which I thought was pretty cool. And there's a little gold and red thing that he sort of holds onto when he's riding it around? I guess the gorilla is a robot and the control stick just has this big red trackball that he's using to tell it which direction to move in. The head was a chore because I'd run out of bricks by that point, so its kind of fragile and the colours aren't perfect.  The set comes with a ninja and a little dwarf demon guy, so I gave the demon guy proper legs and made the ninja a dwarf. Also the front legs have little paw pads on them!  The other side of the gorilla has a little storage bit for the crossbow and quiver. Also because of the way it's all put together, the quiver is held pretty sturdily in place but you can remove it without taking off any other bricks. Truly, my lego talents have not diminished with age. The little holder for the crossbow can also hold the giant flame lightning sword the set comes with. If I pick up the airport fire engine next year I'll be able to use this set with it to make some kind of fire safety mech with stumpy little legs. Maybe a fire safety crocodile?

I figure they were terrible in combat and got half their body blown off or something. So some insane doctor cut off their head and crammed it on top of a robot to create an unstoppable army. Maybe they'll be more successful the second time around?

NitroSpazzz posted:20% off LEGO sale and free shipping on orders over $99 - http://www.kingarthurstoys.com/lego Their prices look 10-20% higher than retail on the few that I looked up. The A-Wing fighter they are selling at 29.99 before discount, and MSRP on it is 24.99 so you get a dollar off on their sale. Though 119.99 for the Millennium Falcon is decent considering MSRP is 139.99. Guess it's just hit and miss as far as the discount goes.
