White is such a pain in the rear end to photograph. Lancia Delta S4! I'll have the instructions on RB in a day or two. I'm very pleased with it, especially the interior. 8-wide is pretty liberating for that.     Shoutout to a bootlego Stratos I bought from AliExpress a couple years ago for the "LANAIC" driver.

Carbohydrates posted:White is such a pain in the rear end to photograph. Now I just want a larger scale group B car so there’s room for a buildable engine that you can see in the rear windscreen. The grill area is tremendous; man I’d kill for a printed Lancia logo. I have one small BL package that hasn’t shipped that I’m waiting on to build mine.

The trench run looks cool as a finished product, but all those greebles don't seem very fun to build. Dagobah looks better in that regard (and I think it looks neater overall). I like the idea of the vignettes in general, and have been considering the Vader meditation chamber a few times, but the price point really puts me off.

I have wanted the Meditation Chamber for awhile but $70 is just to much to me. I’m holding out for a sale or when it goes on clearance at my local Walmart. If I get one of the new ones it will probably be the Trench Run.

I really like the vader meditation chamber. The pics don't do it justice. it's quite a neat looking set although I don't love the big technic beam that sticks off the top. otherwise it's great. The price point is a stupid though. Even with the ridiculous SW markup it's overpriced. The other ones they've done like the cloud city duel and Neb B were also over priced but not quite as bad. The two new ones are probably the same but a little more palatable. The probe droid is the clear winner in that line so far. It looks awesome, is bigger than the meditation chamber and has the same amount of parts but is cheaper. One of my favorite sets even if it's so hilariously brittle I can't believe Lego actually signed off on it. I have no idea how they price this stuff sometimes.

Where is the best place to get custom minifigures? A co-teacher if mine has gotten some bad health news. He's the woodworking teacher and he has a distinctive of always wearing a plaid shirt and having at least one pencil tucked behind his ear. He's a great guy and loves LEGO, both for himself and his kids. I thought getting a little mini him might be a fun gift, but I have no idea where to order a custom face from. There is one lego head with a pencil behind the ear, but my guy doesn't have a thin moustache OR wear Pince-nez glasses.

Go with the head that's available and add glasses and a moustache trimmer to the gift package.

Trash Compactor leaked last night. The walls apparently move in and out. The rumored price is 90 euros. I think I like the other two sets better. From the one photo we have it just looks kind of bland to me especially for that price.

Update to this leak from earlier -- Promobricks says the set is $99, and includes a second room we haven't seen -- R2 and C-3PO in the control room trying to turn the compactor off.

Pictures from the box leaked and it’s just C-3PO and R2 on the other side of the wall with a panel looks like. Unless the front of the box is showing something we haven’t seen. Definitely not worth $99 for me.

bird with big dick posted:What the gently caress one of the smokestacks is backwards I found this tweet in a blog article Google recommended to me specifically about the smokestack. I chose to share the tweet instead of the whole article because we've all hosed up a set but had fun anyway. Good for Myles doing something (else) that he loves to do! Ninja edit: this isn't to say that you're part of the problem or anything, it seems pretty obviously backwards if you look for just a second.

I think there’s an error in the manual for that smokestack where the drawing is reversed or flipped or something. I remember needing to rebuild the sub-assembly because the bit that props it at an angle was on the wrong side.

Yeah dagobah looks like a more substantial set idgi. It’s a drat shame because I’ve wanted a compactor scene for a long time but that price point is just awful…if it was like, $60-70 I’d be down. Funny how this set pops up just as I was talking about what nonsense Star Wars pricing is.
