I love big figs.  Actually would really like a T-Rex big fig but I think the brick built one works better for that scene. $99 is a really good price point for that set I'll definitely be picking it up.

Pre-orders sold out but I am snagging that the second it is available. I hope Lego starts doing more vignettes like this for AFOL geared sets.

I could see him in line at the lego store with 900 dollars worth of sets tucked under his arms.

I like the brick-built T-Rex, but I really do not like the feet. It looks like they made them so tall so it'd accommodate the length of the piece they use to connect the toes and smooth out the front, but it just looks bad. They really should have come up with something at least 3 plates thinner.

Rumours are starting to swirl about an 1000+ piece Optimus Prime set later this year, and may be transformable.

It's a definite buy if it's the cab over from the original show. If it's from one of the Bay movies hard pass.

Foot needs to be beefier to support weight and that angle is a weird one. Skeletons set used technic for the ankle that mounted into the base which was a bit smaller but also wasn’t mobile

I also regret skipping Voltron but I made a cool mini one that kind of scratched that itch. Having messed with someone else's Voltron I don't really like the way the arms attach and detach though. I fear all those little clips breaking, I haven't had terribly good luck with stressing those over the years.

Excellent. EvilJoven posted:It's a definite buy if it's the cab over from the original show. If it's from one of the Bay movies hard pass. If the toy line is any indication, I would put money on it being modeled after the Netflix War for Cybertron trilogy. I was never big into Transformers as a kid...until Beast Wars came out while I was in high school. 3D animation was a career path I was interested in at the time and that show just hooked me. So Optimus Prime is great, but an Optimus Primal would be a pre-order.

You know, I’ve had Voltron standing on display since it came out and I love it dearly but it’s also ways nagged at me how much his limited pose-ability made him look not very cool. I’m actually debating having 5 much niftier lions on display. Shrug.

Check out this wild build posted in the Blessed Pictures thread. You can skip to the end if you aren't that interested in the process. But the final thing is worth a look.

How do preorders on Lego.com work? Do they charge at the time of ordering, or shipping? I want that Jurassic Park set because it’s Jurassic Park but I honest to god am not sure where I’d put it in my house yet.

Optimus should come in a box that looks like a reissue of the model team giant truck and when you start building it you discover it's also a robot.

Xenomrph posted:How do preorders on Lego.com work? Do they charge at the time of ordering, or shipping? Charges when it ships, but there's usually a pre-authorisation fee that shows up as a pending charge on your card until it does. Though those sometimes get cancelled and disappear before shipping if there is enough time between the pre-order and something shipping, but I think that's down to your bank/credit card company and not LEGO. Hi, I work for LEGO (just customer service, nothing exciting), been lurking this thread for a while looking for an excuse to post, this is as good as any. If anyone has questions about CS related stuff for the web site or parts replacements or the like, I can probably answer them. We usually don't get told about unannounced sets in advance, and I wouldn't be able to talk about that anyway, so I wouldn't bother asking about anything like that.

I just got the parts together for this and build it. It really fits in well with the regular speed champions and has some nice details. The roof is a little bit iffy and could do with some stabilizing. Now I regret buying it as a gift for someone so I might just buy the parts again for myself. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-53544/RollingBricks/bmw-m3-dtm/#details I also built this for myself: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-77186/LegoCG/f1-mclaren-mcl35m-monaco-livery/#details This one is a bit more problematic. It's clear it hasn't been built only designed in Studio and suffers in a lot of places. Multiple points where a single 1x2 plate could fix major stability issues without impacting the look. Wouldn't let a kid swoosh it around, but it's a shelf piece so I don't really mind. Now for the cumbersome job of cutting out custom vinyl stickers and placing them everywhere on it.

Veotax posted:If anyone has questions about CS related stuff for the web site or parts replacements or the like, I can probably answer them. Ooh, I have one. Like many in this thread, I have a large collection of Lego. I don't have children, so the sets are not played with. They're displayed in a dedicated room and I look after my sets carefully - no pets, no smoke etc. I generally keep the curtains/blinds in the room drawn so there's not too much sunlight. I've recently been swapping around my display models and taking apart some models which have been on display for years. Some of the sets have bricks that have broken. Now, fair enough - I know that reddish-brown was notorious for doing this, and some of my sets are from 10/11 when this was a big problem so there's the odd 2x8 plate that's broken completely, for example. But there's also a few in the more recent sets - notably sets with clips. A couple of 1x1 plate clips on Hogwarts Castle have broken (holding trees) and the clips on the Kwik-E-Mart have done the same (the ones holding the carrots on the roof). At first, I put a couple of requests for replacement parts in - but then I worried that I was doing too many at once (i.e. I haven't made a request in 15 years, suddenly I've made 3 requests in a week). Is there a limit on requesting replacement bricks? Am I best spreading them out over time, or am I ok to put all of the requests in - or should I contact CS and explain? I don't want CS to ping me for making unreasonable requests. If it was on the smaller sets, I think I'd be less bothered, but having spent a few hundred on Hogwarts and Kwik-E-Mart, it feels a bit annoying that they've broken so easily after being built once.

Testro posted:Ooh, I have one. So we do block people for abusing the free replacement service, but you usually have to be asking for a lot of parts and licensed parts/minifigs to have that happen. Like really suspicious stuff like "I'm missing all the minifigs from the UCS AT-AT". A bunch of regular parts probably aren't going to get you banned. It could help to talk to CS directly, they might help out and just send you the parts if you explain and if there aren't too many parts you're after. Worse case scenario is they might just tell you to buy the parts from Bricks & Pieces instead (though you wouldn't be able to buy anything licensed).

Brilliant, thank you - I appreciate it! Yeah, it's nothing major - it is literally like 8 clips, and a couple of plates. Absolutely nothing licensed or unique. I just thought it looked a lot in one go compared to my silence for the past 15 years.
