As a kid I was so smitten with those flip up knight visors when they introduced them.

The knight with the glow in the dark ghost was one of the first Knight sets I ever got and I've loved it ever since. Lego should update that to an entire haunted castle (minimum 4000 pieces, please) full of knights on a quest to rid it of ghosts. As for Miami Vaporwave Paradisa: just do Moonbeam City sets, with brick-built neon backgrounds.

The last great set we had was Kingdoms Joust in 2012. Thats 9 years ago. I really hope the blacksmith and the rumored castle this year can scratch that itch. engessa fucked around with this message at 09:44 on Jan 19, 2021 |

I picked blacktron, m:tron, and bionicle. if they revive bionicle, I hope they go more for the spirit of the earlier sets, which were more mechanical in design and less organic/rubbery. the Metru Nui figures were really solid, though they could use a bit more variation. If they just do, like, better versions of the OG Toa, that'd be perfect for me. The original designs are simple and fantastic, but the original figures are very rigid compared to the highly articulated stuff later on. edit: like one of the original promo shots of the six heroes shows them doing stuff they literally can't, like...looking anywhere but straight ahead. They do that with minifigs and stuff, bending them in spots they can't actually bend, it's always been a pet peeve of mine with lego promo images.

Blacksmith is a definite improvement over the original entry, and the price is doable. I doubt I’ll get it though, but this would be a cool set for anyone who missed out on Medieval Market Village, which outside of an actual castle like Black Knights Castle (so good they re-released it alongside the original BSB in 2001) is probably the best castle-themed set of all time.

It's definitely an awesome build, it's so over the top chunky it's like it's a piece of bismuth. And yet it also has me wishing (yet again) lego would give in and make tile versions of all those wedge pieces. They're obviously super popular with building surfaces and yet there's nothing that can be done about the studs.

If it's something like electrician's tape it's pretty easy to cut to exact shapes. But my first guess is it's black construction paper held on with rubber cement.

Nth Doctor posted:Ninjago Gardens arrived yesterday. Outside of the city sets I've never been terribly interested in the theme, but the Golden Wu fig is triggering my Pokemon instincts... I gotta catch 'em all. I finished off the pagoda garden portion of the set this morning. I really do think it's better than Ninjago City. I don't think it's clear from the promo images, but there are two balconies built at the very end of the set that extend over the pagoda garden that make a huge difference in tying it together once all three of them are connected, and it should be trivial to either build another balcony at the 2nd tier street level on Docks (next to the news stand in my layout, or to remove the balcony from Gardens and convert it into a bridge between the two sets overtop of the garden. I have mine displayed City - Docks - pagoda garden - Gardens left to right. CommanderApaul fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jan 19, 2021 |

Mine hasn't even shipped yet. That's kind of odd for a set released by itself. My Jan 1 orders shipped within a couple days and LEGO was totally slammed for those.

Carbohydrates posted:I like it, but I don't love it. It's definitely nicer than the original design. Much slicker, much better scale, super visually interesting. The fine detailing is... sort of there. It's exceptionally good for a civilian Castle set, which I think everyone wants more of. I'm definitely happy with the price point, too. Good set, but I'm unsure it'll break into anybody's top 5 IDEAS set lists outside of the dedicated Castle fans. A Good stream. I just finished watching the VOD for the bits I missed due to actual work poo poo. Hey Carbohydrates, I wrote a dumb little C# app to track internet connectivity going up and down over time, if that'll help you with figuring out if your still online or night. Shoot me a PM if'n you're interested.
