The brickset post about the medieval blacksmith reveal had its comments locked after much whining about how the inclusion of a female knight is not historically accurate. Business as usual.

Historically speaking, medieval blacksmiths weren't built out of mold-injected plastic, either.

I also saw a reddit? comment that went into that most real/traditional blacksmiths didn't make swords, because there was a specialized guild for that. (And also there was typically just a ton of tool work that was way higher in demand.)

Ya, I have to imagine that society required a lot more ploughs, horse shoes, shovels, etc.

Turns out the cabinet meetings weren't really rap battles after all! Who would enjoy this drivel?

Hey just watched your stream on illegal builds carb. Really interesting, have you considered pitching it as an article for one of the big sites? The headline possibilities are endless.

So ordered the Pirates Bay, super excited cause I usually just do classic (or cool looking ) Star Wars....few grand worth. So I’m avoiding reviews and Jang cause I wanna build it blind. Be surprised for once cause I already know how every tie and x-wing is going to turn out. My favorite sets growing up were castle, pirates, ice and aqua so I’m psyched.

Speaking of historical accuracy, one thing that never sat right with me was the fact that of the Imperial/Pirate ship duos that were released, the Pirate ship is always bigger. Irl pirates used small ships built for speed, in this case the Renegade Runner and Crossbone Clipper are probably the most accurate. A ship like the Barracuda or Schooner would be the kind of Imperial treasure ship they’d overtake, board, and transfer the booty from. It just stinks that the biggest Imperial ship is the Imperial Flagship 6271 (10210 isn’t really consistent in theme with the main ones) which is pretty underwhelming next to the SES.

Seeing videos, the scale of the blacksmith shop is a lot larger than I expected... 2,000 part count is also getting into modular territory. That’ll look fantastic with the medieval village and hopefully a new castle set this year

My favorite sets growing up were castle, pirates, ice and aqua so I’m psyched. I actually picked up Barracuda Bay from my local(-ish) Lego shop this past weekend and one-piled it. I won't spoil the build, but it's pretty great. It's also pretty massive once it's finished. The only other set I have approaching its scale is the Saturn V.

Was able to cobble together the Star Wars Comic Con set from a few years ago. Between what I had and $35 from Bricklink it’s pretty close. The hard part was getting the Han head and hair at a reasonable price so I mixed and matched. And screw those helmets, $2-$5 each and none of the listings had two. I just left them out. I did start to get picky about some of my worn or scratched parts and had to talk myself down. This was for fun, no one was going to go over it with a magnifying glass, it’s going on my shelf next to the other little SW scenes.

Yeah - I'm a few bags into Barracuda and I'm already digging it. Or at least, from what I can tell, the gimmick of it also being a ship is a lot more interesting then I initially assumed.

I, too, snapped after a friend egged me on and after I narrowly missed buying the bookshop (got the available notification, put it in my basket with the fire fighter chopper, hesitated a couple hours and it was sold out again) I was hankering for something and got me Barracuda Bay by January 27. Welp. Now trying to talk him into getting the colosseum as revenge

I ordered two BL packages from Germany- one on Jan 10 that got here today and one on Dec 9 that hasn’t arrived yet  There was also one from the west coast that should have arrived by now. I wonder if it got grabbed out of my mailbox on a day when I didn’t hear the mailman make the rounds.

I ordered a thing on December 15 that was marked as "delivered" three days later but didn't actually show up at my house until a week ago. Now that Christmas is over I think stuff is less wedged than it used to be, but it's still not all running at full efficiency. Be as patient as you can I guess is what I'm saying.

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. Waltzing Along posted: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. Waltzing Along, have you shot TLG an e-mail or anything about your set? IIRC you're in the US like me and I don't see how I could've gotten an order placed hours after you yet received it before yours even shipped unless something is seriously hosed with The Lego Group's regional distribution centers or something.

Anyone holding a Bright Light Orange 27263? It’s not rare or expensive... there’s just one seller on BL who has it in America and it’s 49 cents but they have a 35 dollar min.

So I'm looking to sell of most of my collection (if not all) and am going to start an SA Mart to sell things off to minimize my life and bounce back from tons of dental work I had done. I was wondering if any LEGOons were interested in anything before I post the thread and call dibs, prices are negotiable and don't include shipping. I'm not looking to disassemble anything since I don't really have the time to do so (and hey, maybe it'll break apart in shipping anyway! ). Only some have boxes, everything should have the instructions but I'm not sure if it's all complete (I'm trying my best to find all of the minifigs and accessories for everything). Some of the sets I'm looking to sell in their theme (Scooby Doo, Hidden Side, Guardians of the Galaxy) because I feel like I won't really get much out of selling the smaller sets by themselves. Here's everything I'm listing so far: https://imgur.com/a/pcDkKp6 Probably going to add more later.

Cloks posted:I'd buy the overwatch hamster ball. Is $10 good? Shipping shouldn't be too much considering the size. Snowmankilla posted:I would love the razor crest if shipping was not wild? $150 for the two Mandalorian sets, I'll get it packaged up and get a quote on the shipping if you want to give me a Zip Code. OSU_Matthew asked about the set and PMed me before so to be fair if he wants it, I'll give him first dibs. Oh, also, I have $50 in store credit at the LEGO store... is there anyway I can transfer that to someone? I don't see myself ever using it anymore... along with the recouping of funds I don't think I'm into LEGO as much as I used to be...  It bums me out a bit to be honest.

Came across a Craigslist listing for Star Wars sets which included Clone Wars sets I’ve never seen before. Thought with all my searching and buying bulk I’d seen the all. This Coruscant Police Gunship is pretty drat cool. https://brickset.com/sets/75046-1/Coruscant-Police-Gunship

This Coruscant Police Gunship is pretty drat cool. I think that's the first (and maybe only so far) set i've bought because I kinda wanted the minifig (Asoka.) I like Akita from Ninjago as well, but not enough to pay 130$ for the one set she's in, or like 30$ for one from bricklink.

I wanna see that thing park out again... Very cool MoC from Papaglop, only a single thing in the instructions I would change (because it drives you crazy building the first engine, and then you change it building the second and everything is cool and good). Missing two dark blueish grey 1x2 tile grids on the front of the engines, gonna add them soon
