Wish they had gone for the flight one, but ok. The blacksmith will do. No interest in Pooh.

It's an awesome build but I hate the shape of the base. It makes it either a standalone display piece or you're modding it to fit in with anything else. It would be funny if the version lego ships has the same size as the modulars. Here's my diner, my restaurant, the ghostbusters firehouse oh and someone plopped an old medieval blacksmith on the corner there.

Do they have a pattern/timing to releasing new Train sets? It looks like they're still selling the Passenger and Cargo trains, and I'm feeling almost tempted to get one (despite probably not having any where to put it) but both sets are a few years old so I'm wondering if there'll be a new one soon.

I don't think we'll see new trains until 2021 at the earliest. These last 2 released in 2018 and they seem to give them a few years (or more).

I love Winnie Pooh, but I hope they revamp it a bit, the tree canopy is a bit sparse and Tigger looks off. But I will buy this if the final product is good.

Speaking of ideas sets, did anyone here get the Treehouse, and what did you think of it? I really wanted to buy it back in November, but seeing I had just bought a new TV (black Friday) I couldn't really justify it. Now that I've saved up some money again I could get it while it's still available, but for some reason I'm on the fence... It seems like a fun build, a nice display piece and a good bit of playability for the kids I work with, but for some reason I'm not as excited as I was a couple of months ago.

It's a boring build. And it gets bad at the end when you do the foliage. However, it looks fantastic once it is complete.

I love the Treehouse. I don’t understand the critique of “boring build” that everyone has for it. It looks best with the green foliage though I wonder about some light pink and fuschia foliage to make it a big cherry blossom tree.

They always modify the ideas sets to make them look better. Check out the original Saturn V ideas page, it looks pretty crappy compared to what we got.

In high school (nearly 15 years before I even started messing around with Lego again) my friend drew the duplo logo on a sticky note, wrote "I play with Duplo brand building blocks" on it and stuck it to my back. I walked around with it unknowingly for a good part of the day. I still have it in a book somewhere lol.

I was digging through and old computer and found a picture of a totally sick lego bridge I built as a kid:  Funny thing is the pillars came from an actual highway construction set with road pieces so I already had something bridge like... I guess I just decided to do my own. Find it kind of funny how many winches I ended up with. and an airfield  I was always kinda proud of that "B-17" and I think I built this dragon for a school project; we had to read a book and do some sort of creative element to go with our report. I read The Hobbit and created a treasure box with various little doodads from the story and this lego dragon that was probably a very inaccurate rendition of Smaug:  (looks like I upgraded the bridge to have a helipad at that point.)

My Lego backlog gets smaller and smaller. Built the Grand Prix Racer and the Endurance Race Car, as well as the Cobi 919. Cool builds, allthough I assume the Grand Prix Racer has an error in the manual. It's a V8, it gives you eight hoses to build the exhaust manifold, but the manual only uses six of them (with a pretty obvious spot where to put the other two), but if you do that, you actually run out of a single black pin  911 RSR and Mack Anthem next...

I think this was probably inevitable. Lego is testing and teasing LED kits for their bigger sets. https://www.promobricks.de/lego-night-mode-light-kits/94842/

The aftermarket LED kits sell for a lot and do pretty well on Aliexpress. I wonder if Lego will put out special bricks or pieces to achieve the same things that the aftermarket kits cut corners to accomplish. (double sided tape, hot glue, sandwiching wires under bricks, etc) I'd much rather buy official light kits than aftermarket ones if the the price point is equivalent.

I would love those, but I don't know if I would pay for it. The article says 46€ for the Mustang Kit, and 86€ for the Diner.

It would be nice if this causes competition and downward pricing pressure on the aftermarket sets. I'd love to illuminate my city, but at half the cost of the modular itself that hardly seems worth it unless it does some really cool stuff. Unrelated. Just became aware that the Tyler guy on the Lego Masters is responsible for this: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2017/12/14/achieve-serenity-free-lego-building-instructions-outlaw-spaceship-tbb-instructions/ Which is a pretty nice small scale serenity.

It would be cool if they started making special versions of standard bricks with conductive studs on them, but I imagine that's cost prohibitive. But I figure it'll be similar to the power functions lights, with some new element designs around the lights themselves.

The AliExpress ones will still be more popular for a while because of price and covering retired sets. I can’t see Lego themselves doing one for Ninjago City or the Ghostbusters Firehouse.

So there’s this thing on Kickstarter that uses wireless power to light up bricks; I think that’s the future, at least for basic on/off lights.

They've done it before with a limited selection of bricks during the Mindstorms era. I think the only ones were 2x2 and 2x4

Nice of LEGO to (theoretically) bring the price point high enough that all the aftermarket 3rd party guys can still compete. If they can light a modular (or similar) in such a way that the floors still come apart and it's still playable, a la iBrix-style tech, I'll be overjoyed. Regardless, I'd probably buy the Mustang one.

The pictures of the back of the box make it seem like rebranded Light My Bricks which are just higher quality versions of the stuff Aliexpress sellers are selling now. https://www.lightmybricks.com/products/lego-ford-mustang-gt-10265-light-kit w00tazn fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Feb 13, 2020 |
