(you still have to dry it, though. a week sounds right) I have those too for the bathroom mainly but the lack of surface area contacted for air to flow through feels much smaller than the cans. I've had one of the electric ones hanging on my towel rack in my bath/shower, to test them, go for months without even changing a slightest shade.

Do Lego even release anything other than licensed sets anymore? All I see is Harry Potter and Sonic and poo poo like that.

They still put out plenty of City-themed sets, and the creator 3-in-1 sets. And you can still just buy tubs of bricks. Hunter Noventa fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Mar 18, 2022 |

That's good to hear. I wanted to buy some for my niece, but I wanted to get her something that allowed her to come up with her own fantasies rather than "Hogwarts, but it hurts when you step on it".

True. But it's possible I'm just not seeing it because I'm not really paying attention to lego, but it doesn't feel like there's much "themed" stuff coming out anymore. It's all licenced stuff, kinda generic real-life things, or their weird attempts at making action figures.

I have some bad news for you… You are old. The “Lego kits are just two big pieces” thing happened over ten years ago, and Lego has long since responded by returning to making stuff out of individual bricks again. Their designers are a lot more creative now and use bricks in interesting ways. I regularly get YouTube ads for “adult” oriented kits like working grand pianos and classic cars.

We'll never have '80s space lego again and that makes me sad. Although I'm not going to be 10 again so I guess it wouldn't matter.

I had one of the Saturn IV kits that was like 10" tall assembled as a kid. Then my mother gave it (and all my other LEGO stuff) away when I left for college. I'm still mad.

On the one hand, it's an amazing build experience, and on the other you end up with a Saturn rocket three feet high and how the gently caress do you not want one ? You want one, obtain and build this kit as soon as possible, you're hella missing out otherwise. dddddd

Fashionable Jorts posted:True. But it's possible I'm just not seeing it because I'm not really paying attention to lego, but it doesn't feel like there's much "themed" stuff coming out anymore. As others have said, the 3-in-1 creator stuff sounds like exactly what you're looking for. All made with small bricks, super varied, and 3 build options to get the creativity flowing. There's a bunch that are themed, like animals/wildlife, city stuff and theme park stuff, and in my experience each and every one of them is a great build. There's also a big variety in size and pricing, where a small box will be like 10 euros for a lion/ostrich/boar, medium stuff that's like 3 different carnival rides and big stuff like the medieval castle/tower/town.

I decided not to because I like that living plants do some air-clearing and worried it might make people think I carried legos, but they were made out of pretty generic parts for the most part and certainly could have been reused for all sorts of neat stuff, in addition to being cool adult-focused kits.

The flowers are really neat and were a lot of fun to build. They are really clever in parts, e.g. some of the leaves are dinosaur wings etc.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Same and same. I would have killed for Star Wars lego as a kid, but also the Space theme was so cool. It's sad there's no real way for them to coexist. You still get occasional big sets in the old genre-type themes, even if there's not the support for a full line any more. Medieval stuff that's like really really nice Castle sets seem to be pretty common in the Creator and Ideas lines, there were a couple recent outstanding pirate ships, and Benny's Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship from the first movie was distilled classic space. Some of the City stuff for this year has a real Space theme to it as well.

Fun fact: Lego is also the backbone of high school/college level robotics thanks to their Mindstorms line, a series going on so long the first version used serial ports to connect to the PC. It also had block-based programming software before it was cool. On the topic of mini's, is there some rule people selling Egyptian themed stuff have to make the priestess/slave/literally any woman (including non-human) models topless. Every time I find someone selling cool Anubis Khopesh dudes I have to wade though nudes.

As a follower of this thread, I'm well aware of the pervs/nazi's. It's just the specific combo of Ancient Egyptian fantasy wargaming and topless women minis that puzzles me, especially if they are clearly trying to make the mini be part a legit piece of a wargame/RPG with actual rules (priestess, banner bearer, etc). Do they honestly expect people to plop these units into a game and be cool with it? And I'm not talking about the rando on Etsy with a 3d printer, I'm talking about legit companies like Reaper and their Egyptian Sorceress ( https://www.reapermini.com/search/sorceress/latest/02485), Dragon Bait minis (half their Egypt line), and Crocodile games (basti).

Glistening in the hot sun. Which is why they are satin varnished. For authenticity, you see. Yeah.
