Platystemon posted:Did everyone get four missile men or is it random like the extras of some other small pieces? The reviews I read mentioned that too. I assume like any small piece lego either intentionally/unintentionally included an extra because they're small and get lost/get picked extra by robots. My rocket is in NSW accordingly to my tracking information. God I want it so badly.

I built 42036 Street Bike. Thing is sweet. Is this an unusual Technic set in terms of build or is it pretty normal? I hadn't done a real one before and found this very satisfying. I also build it because it was the first Technic set I saw that I really thought looked good. And, as usual, it looks better in person. I am very very impressed.

Does anyone have the instructions for the guardsmen pick a model that's exclusive to the Leicester Square store? They were sold out but I managed to part it out at the pan wall from a pic on the net. I reverse engineered the build but am not sure it s right. If anyone could post a pick that would be great.

At least whoever is doing that knows what they have. Most of us will end up with "here's my dad's dumb toys. $70 or best offer." I really want that super car.

My wife and I are not having kids, and all we have for nephews/nieces right now is my sister's daughter. At this point my closet full of stupid plastic bricks is going to her. Unless between now and the point I die I do some sort of big brother thing and find that one kid in the world who will do something great with it.

veni veni veni posted:6000 dollars? Seems a lot much. Hopefully its my son or daughter. I was sorta pondering that today. On my Lego bulding table, as I was putting the boosters on my Saturn V Stage 1, i noticed I had the Ultimate Batmobile, UCS Snowspeeder also on the table. That's almost 600 bucks in Lego acquired in the last 30 days. Then under the table is the Land Excavator at 300 and next to the Table was Assembly Square. Then I mumbled something about thank goodness I'm already married and had had some sex... [ed] Cojawfee posted:At least whoever is doing that knows what they have.

If that happens, then my next hope is it's some kid who doesn't realize what a score they just got... and not some speculating rear end in a top hat.

Maybe $6000 if you're a rich motherfucker who collects sealed boxes (which is cool) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Technic-8458-Silver-Champion-F1-Formula-Racer-V10-Race-Car-Built-Set-No-Box-/182608049482

Good time to get some Dimensions sets since it's miserable failure. Easily got Portal 2 brand new for $6 shipped on Ebay which seemed like a perfect price. Hope I can eventually get Gremlins and Goonies on the cheap too.

Good lord this thing is big. I got it two days before release, but I've saved it for when I'm watching the Stanley Cup Finals because I get really nervous watching my team in the playoffs.

Yeah I've been limiting myself to one or two bags per night and it's crazy how big this rocket is getting. Technique it's not very fun, though I do love how some of the bits clip in to finish it off. But drat it feels solid once it's together.

The best parts of assembly are when you slide in the vent wedges. So satisfying.

Stage 1 pieces with the 6 white grilles that snap into the yellow clips bug me a little. There's a bit too much horizontal swing.

They just wiggle, so if you touch/hold it there, you can leave tiny gaps...

I'm really impressed with the weird techniques being use here, I find it really interesting to see these kind of builds in a LEGO product. The lack of fun comes when I'm building something x4, but that's just a matter of the model itself, can't really be helped. Platystemon posted:The best parts of assembly are when you slide in the vent wedges. So satisfying. Yeah, this is neat, especially building the center piece that it all snaps into. Feenix posted:Stage 1 pieces with the 6 white grilles that snap into the yellow clips bug me a little. There's a bit too much horizontal swing. ...but I do have this issue as well. The 2x2 vents are perfect, but the big ones seem very uneven. I suspect it might be due to my not building it exactly correctly, fitting them in with their internal slopes facing the wrong way perhaps. Also, some of the studless plates that go down the model are uneven as well; either one piece is sticking out, or another is bent in. I think I need to disassemble this a bit to figure out why, but that seems daunting. Cojawfee posted:One on mine definitely swings around noticeably. Check the orientation of the red/white slopes when inserting the vents, I suspect this is the cause. Habibi posted:Fuckin' yinzers! I certainly didn't feel nervous after the first period of this game! Allowed me to focus on working on the rocket. Game 6 will be spent finishing up the rest of the model, and if it gets to Game 7, I've got the Adventure Time set waiting.

Oxyclean posted:Saw the Saturn V on the toysrus site this weekend, listed in stock for home delivery. Ordered one, but wondering if the site doesn't update stock on the weekend since I got an order confirmation but no ship confirmation and the site is now listening them out of stock. Wonder if I'll be getting one anytime soon or not.  Showed up today. Love that I have no shortage of new stuff on netflix to watch while I put it together.

Oh good, double vip points for 4th of July weekend. I'll put off buying the bank building until then. Also, this AT-ST is awfully front heavy and likes to flip over, I need to investigate this.

The other half of my lego rocket order came in, the vacation kit and five series 17 minifigures. Three of them were really fat and I was all "sweet, one of them must be rocket guy!" Except they weren't. Three corn cob guys.  edit - also one of our cats knocked over my stage 1+2 rocket while I was at work. Relatively minor damage, just a few panels off the top of stage one popped out so it's a nicely solid build. But now something is rattling around inside stage 1.  xzzy fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Ugh. I've gotten into this addiction of buying small sets on Ebay for the last week. I've bought like 5 sets this week. Someone needs to hide my debit card from me. gently caress.

It's real easy to tell them apart with a brief grope, finding the antenna (or not). A quick fingernail rub will ID the corn kernels.
