I went in with expectations of only voting for Space themes but oh man, Aquazone is on the list. Not to mention Black Knights and Black Falcons? Ice Planet Aquazone Black Knights

None of these have nostalgic attachments for me. E/N: didn't have any Lego sets when I was a kid, i can remember Erector Sets and Kenner Star Wars stuff. Didn't get into Lego until we had our daughter then found you goons. I voted -Ice Planet -Adventurers -Time (Bandits) Cruisers just for laughs

For me it was -Blacktron -Ice Planet -Paradisa They’ll do a castle no matter what so no point wasting a vote, I can’t tell the difference between most of the sub themes. Forestmen seems to be very popular, I think that would be neat. I’m done with Classic Space and would like to see some Blacktron I in particular instead. crazy eyes mustafa fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Jan 18, 2021 |

There's a 3-in-1 castle coming but (like the pirate ship) it'll probably be in a different style to the classic stuff. Would really like a Forestman set, especially given it missed out in the recent Ideas wave.

Ice Planet Adventurers Paradisa I love that 1930s pulp era look, so that given care and attention would be amazing. As I said before, going full 80s Florida Vaporwave Paradisa I would love so much. And Ice Planet duh. I’d accept Blacktron too.

I've uploaded the catalog parrot to Bricklink. Here's a final render: And here's the link - it's pending approval but will be partial access once it gets approved. I'll probably update it to full at that time if I can. https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=199271

My fond memories of Ice Planet were sitting on the rug in the lounge room one winter's afternoon building the Celestial Sled, the heater on, and East 17 blasting on the TV. It was a hell of a year, 1993.

Had to vote for Ice Planet, Adventurers, and Rock Raiders because those were the sets I always played with the most as a kid. That light-up "laser" in RR got so much re-use in my MOCs.

Feenix posted:Trains goddammit. Voted Trains too. Although now that I FINALLY got my bootleg ir receiver and battery pack so I can properly regulate speed and make a train go around all this track I set up, I dunno... it's fine. I feel like I liked my monorail more as a kid than this. I know it was overly simple in that it just had one speed, but this thing makes a kind of high pitched whine and the speed is so inconsistent when going straight vs. around a bend. Obviously it's just Lego that happens to be a train, not a model train from the ground up like my granddad's old model train I played with as a kid, or my dad's larger scale one. I dunno, it's fine and I guess I'll keep buying more knock-off track add ons then maybe add more trains depending on what they come out with. I definitely prefer having a physical remote control and have no interest in using my phone with a bluetooth battery pack that eats through these AAA's even faster.

Cojawfee posted:I voted for Aquazone and then wrote in AQUASHARKS Kinda crazy how many sub-themes there are sometimes. There's 5 different sub-themes of Aquazone, which as a whole has been established as an underwater sub-theme of the Space theme. M-Tron, Ice Planet, Exploriens. Didn't go into the vote expecting to come out with all space, but welp.

Given that model trains can be a stupidly expensive hobby, and that Lego is now OK with “adult targeted” products, I wonder if Lego’s considered producing DCC-compatible bogie engines and powered rail options. The Bluetooth/IR/battery stuff is fine for a “train in a box,” but I wonder if they could get a lot of AFOL on board with a more traditional, well-supported system. Or maybe I’m talking out my rear end and DCC wouldn’t work at all!

Blacktron I over II imo. I had the second iteration but the black/yellow theme of the first (and the badass triforce logo) has to me always been the “true” classic space theme. About ten years ago I could have bought the entire Blacktron I line of ships (no base) for $100 and I’ve been kicking myself ever since.

Waltzing Along posted:Anyone who thinks BL is fine with it's sellers first mentality: I read through this and if you strip the harsh language the intent is very similar to what I put on my BL terms. Now, is this guy an rear end in a top hat? Absolutely. I choose to not be an rear end in a top hat by blasting people on BrickLink. I do have a list of banned people from my store for the way they've acted, and get numerous messages that I don't respond to, but I don't advertise these things. I've just learned to try to be crystal clear with straightforward directions in the terms that attempt to protect me from being taken advantage of. I think the biggest thing is that a lot of people (myself included) think, "I am a reasonable person and just want to buy some Lego" and further think that is representative of everybody in the hobby. That is not the case. Go ahead and try to sell on BL to get your own experiences. You'll learn pretty quickly that the Lego hobby is full of literal man-children/people wanting stuff for free/people wanting to break the rules you've set down and you'll have to figure out a way to deal with them. I want to be clear, this person is someone you may not want to buy from. Personally, I would only buy from here if there was no other option because of the way they're acting. I am saying having had the experiences I've had with selling I do at least understand why this person would be like that in the terms. Related to the vote on the 90th anniversary I really hope it's not a space theme that gets the nod, unless it's Ice Planet/M-Tron. But I've never really considered those space themes. 1000 Brown M and Ms posted:Aside from 6988 and 6991 that were already mentioned, that baseplate with different printing gets used in another Space set (6983), three Castles (6081, 6086, 6082) and three Pirate sets (6276, 6277, 6273) That information about Sea-Tron is 100% blowing my mind. I always felt like the original Aquanauts/Aquasharks themes really captured that level of fantasy/exploration and to know that it may have been a space sub theme is nuts to me. When I was a kid I loved Ice Planet and the Aquanauts/Aquasharks and I pretended that it was all on one planet where the surface was frozen and under the surface of the planet there was this incredible seascape.

Can't link it, but there is a new reward at lego vip. It's a coin with one of the old castle crown shields on it. Wonder if it portends to some future releases or if lego is just taunting us. Here's a link with pictures. https://www.stonewars.de/angebote/lego-castle-muenze-und-sammeletui-als-vip-praemien/

If you look on the VIP site one of the other available rewards is a coin holder which shows the castle coin as well as a pirate coin, a Lego logo coin, a city coin, and a space coin.

I finished the haunted house ride last night. The part that worried me most was the lift chain. It’s supposed to be 150 links long and taut, and the two ends didn’t connect unless I stretched the chain a pretty fair distance equal to 2+ more links. I was worried about breaking something and quintuple checked everything to make sure I could and should try that. I did it, and the manual crank works perfectly. I have the parts to use Powered Up app with it and tried it out before going to bed, but it didn’t want to do anything except whir. After work today I’ll put effort into to figuring it out.

I had the same experience with the chain. It took a bit of back and forth from being too short and wouldn't reach to being too long and not catching on the gear so I don't remember how many links I ended up with, but it was definitely more than what the manual said.
