Man. I can't figure out how to fix the fatal flaw in the hips on the Nexo Knight mech, that being no forward hip movement(the legs can tilt sideways fine for a splayed stance, but can't step forward, for example). Everything I try tends to be too unstable or too bulky and impractical. If I had one more of the set with the regular ball sockets I'd be able to finagle a workaround that would be pretty easy, but sadly I only have three. Guess it'll have to wait until tomorrow. The thighs, shins, and ankles are all done though, I'll get pictures for those later. With this setup, though, the arms will be lacking any ball sockets, so I'll either have to create a workaround or change the ankles to not have nearly as much articulation. Dang.

Are those Batman sets actually coming then? They 'leaked' back forever ago when they appeared in some visual dictionary or other, but I didn't think they were actually going to make them because.. the movie's kinda been and gone? v:shobon:v

Personally I prefer to buy a single huge and expensive set over several small ones.
The really huge ones doesn't come out all that often, and it's easy enough to budget accordingly. The smaller sets that can add up to surprisingly huge amount in the end.

I've got eight Star Wars UCS sets, and I don't regret buying any of them.

Of course, I also own two sizable 40k armies, so I might just be completely desensitised to buying expensive plastic. :shepface:

You say that but I just had to make a spreadsheet named 'Lego Acquisition Plan' to budget it all out over the next year.

Some guy on the other forum translated the chinese text on the leaked image and it said something to the effect of "...will be available in select stores..." which, if read too much into it, could sound like it will not be available online.

So I went to the Lego Store today and asked if it was possible to build a groom from the minifig pick-a-brick-thing they have because gay friends of ours are getting married and are lego fans.

The store guy was really nice and went into the storage to see if they had any opened sets he could get a groom from but didn't. He said to check my local store in Munich though, as they may have it. I will do this next week.

If that doesn't work I will just buy two vignettes. Is there anyone on here who might need a marriage vignette with two brides for a lesbian wedding?

I was looking at the wedding topper set the other day, and thought Lego had missed a trick by not just putting two grooms and two brides in a box. Then everyone's happy (even poly relationships).

Why not just buy two grooms off ebay or bricklink?

They should probably stop playing with a building set that is entirely based on the concept of inserting studs into the rear tubes of other studs.

Yes I can do that, but if someone wants a lesbian couple I'd gift them the full vignette and more people would profit without spending money.

Did I ever post the pics of the wedding cake with lego vignette I had made for my other friends?

To boost piece count/play features, they should also include a little lego therapist and couch build for all the therapy those poly minifigs are going to end up needing after things implode.

I built the turbo track racer. It's really cool but it seem like they either designed to a part size or a price point.There are several times where it has a curved slope with the stepped bottom side, but then it doesn't use a plate underneath. Like if you wouldn't see a part when it is finished, and it isn't absolutely vital, it's not used. I had planned on building the main model and then scrapping it to build the open wheel car, which is the reason why I bought the set. Looking at the instructions, the main model looks like it is much cooler. maybe someday, I'll buy another.
