The ISS got a second go on Ideas I think?Prophet of Nixon posted:They're about the same scale though, right? Like there wouldn't be a problem just replacing them with minifigs that suit their sets? Pretty much. They look weird side-by-side but they are close enough to the same scale.

I suspect Harry Potter is filling that Castle niche at the moment. Certainly the Hogwarts sets have a lot of castley aesthetics, and are usually more interesting architecturally than generic castles have been in the past. I would love those sets without the licence.

Cool! Looking at these on BL, someone is selling a "bright orange" (yellow) old style one for 130EU  I would like to due a Museum of Brick Separators in minifig scale with all of the old iterations behind trans-clear cases. The new Beatles and Iron Man art sets have a new extra wide black separator which is kind of neat.

Going to need a video of you making pew pew noises, swooping it around, and cheesy bomb sounds. (It’s great. I love the reversed arches)

Was there just a generic chip that made all those sounds in a loop because I had a completely different gun that made those exact same sounds. I wouldn't be surprised if it was some sound chip that came with a demo mode that showed off what kind of sounds it could make and everyone just packaged the demo mode into toy guns.

   this hits all the nostalgia notes. Mine was black though and didn't flash, it looked more like a bulked-up Gears of War rifle or somethinge: Cojawfee posted:Was there just a generic chip that made all those sounds in a loop because I had a completely different gun that made those exact same sounds.

I'm glad I got my Skull's Eye Schooner when I did, and that I didn't buy the Imperial Flagship or the Caribbean Clipper- they're just inferior overall compared to SES and BSB. Realistically you could part out the SES, just the sails and the printed Jolly Roger brick on the stern are the only unique items. And that super expensive minifig torso that only otherwise appears in Imperial Trading Post. Harold Stassen fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Sep 30, 2020 |

Doctor Spaceman posted:I still really don't like the minidolls. The lack of wrists limits what they can hold, and they don't fit in seats as well as minifigs (both of which come up in the great submarine set). And those matte soft hair pieces are COMPLETE AND UTTER GARBAGE! Argh! My daughter has amassed a sizeable army of minidolls by now, 40-something from sets she has gotten and 40-something that i have bought cheaply while filling BL orders, and EVERY SINGLE hairpiece is no longer useable after like 15 minutes of play. They are loose fits at best even when brand new and after abit of use they are so loose they slide off when you hold the minidoll at a slight angle, you don't even need to hold it upside down. I don't understand why Lego is not called out on this and why they continue to produce this garbage. (Well i guess i answered that last point myself...)

Time to do some fundraising to pay for my MOC projects! I'll keep it brief. Mix of sets and MOCs. Everything ships from 75243 for $actual shipping cost. I think I've handily undercut the next best price for everything I'm listing. $15 - 40252 Mini Volkswagen Beetle, complete, stickers applied, instructions, no box. image $30 - MOC: 2008 Ford Mustang GT. This is a 5th gen Mustang in the 6-wide City scale (not really Speed Champs scale due to the wide cabin). It has 7 custom chromed pieces, too - four wheels, two mirrors, and the round tyle representing the badge. image $30 - MOC: 1970 Dodge Challenger. This is the white one that I built to round out my collection of Death Proof builds. I don't really need two of the same car in my personal collection, though, so here it is! image Freebies: buy any two things and get a freebie of your choice. I've got edit: oh and let me know if you want the edit 2: ONE LAST THING: I will also offer this: $30 - access to a google drive link with all paid instructions I've ever put on my Rebrickable account. All my cars and the new Saloon as well. I think this values over $100. Also, I retroactively update this every time I add something to RB, so this includes all FUTURE instructions (at least for as long as I keep selling in this format) as well. I'm trusting you to not post this all over the internet, please! I really appreciate y'all's continued love and support.

It's possible to obtain that kind of thing that's escaped the factory, but you generally have to be either rich, lucky or persistent to get any. In the fan community, though, Q part is usually slang for a piece in a color that never came in any set at all, and therefore "shouldn't" exist. Take a look at our good friend the Travis brick here. If you compare "lots for sale" against "known colors," you'll see there is a seller with a bright pink one (that may be a mistake, given its low price), and 17 sellers with yellow ones, which don't appear in any set and therefore shouldn't exist. But they definitely do! I have one. Sometimes these are experimental prototype molds that escape the LEGO factory (this is often the case when you see red pieces, i.e. this dude's $1,200 red Darth Vader helmet. Some are pieces that were produced on request for LEGOLAND builders and Master builders, who can request parts that are otherwise not in production. And some of them are baffling and I am unable to explain them: how on earth does this guy have hundreds of dark red revolvers? How do this many people have orange Star Wars blasters? I don't really know.

In that stop motion credits animation at the end of the lego movie one of the classic space ships used 2x2 slopes in transparent yellow, which have never been used in a set. (but they can be created by dying trans clear pieces)

Dang, I got a strong urge to get another modular, but: 1) I'm waiting on a back-order Assembly Square with a ship-by Oct 16th and 2) October's GWP is slated for the 15th (100$+ 5-in-1 mindstorms mini bots.) I want to take advantage of the GWP later in the month but I also kinda want something to build sooner, and I doubt I'd be able to get them to give me the GWP with the Assembly Square.

So i have a ton of door/window frames and not enough inserts for them. talking probably 150+ doors. i dont want to buy that many inserts and am trying to find something temporary until i can spend on the actual pieces. i think im going to get some clear plastic sheets and try to make my own. it may take a while but i have some time on my hands

Short of that, I'm sure many builders will have collection of varying colours of studs or other 1x1 bits that might make for makeshift pins.
