w00tazn posted:$70 USD for the Executor Super Star Destroyer Diorama seems too much! even if it's like 630 pieces!!! Eh, it's an executor I can afford so As soon as there's a good GWP it's going to be bought and then I'll get a wonderful surprise in the mail.

If anybody's ordering today don't forget to toss in the $10 Vespa so you can use the pieces to make the Akira bike https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-124306/Mechabricks/akira-bike-alternate-build-for-lego-vespa-40517/#details

But since the piece isnt mirrored the legs aren't symmetrical. Hopefully it isn't noticable when finished

This looks really nice, and it also has the bonus of being reasonably sized to fit on a shelf well. I can see how it might be considered a bit overpriced, but I guess I am not quite so price sensitive as others. It still comes pretty close to that $.10 a piece price point, even if it will be a lot of smaller pieces. And at 17 inches long, it shouldn’t get lost amongst other UCS starfighters that I may have out at the time.

I just double-checked on the parts list, the tallneck indeed used four 6302828, and according to brick link there is no mirror. But there are other colors. Anyways I don't have an answer for the other question, sorry.

They're already selling for $150+ on eBay and they're in stock at every Lego store in my state. gently caress US scalping culture, not gonna be a part of this problem even though it looks like crazy easy money.

Fatkraken posted:oh DANG! I had this guy as a kid and I kinda sorta really want this. Big figurative models with tons of cool snot techniques are totally my jam, I love seeing LEGO used to make animals and characters and these new giant minifigures they've been doing are the natural extension of that. It's a bugger that it's an exclusive There’ll be tons on Bricklink once it’s released. Of course there’ll be a markup but it’s not usually as high as resellers of the popular sets

The Dagobah diorama is the one starwars set i own and its packed with neat details like yoda's wee little death bed. It was probably the least fun lego build I've experienced though. Lots of inscrutable and repetitve details. Never really felt like it came together. The most memorable bits were done first tbh then you're just slowly building out the hut. The tiny windows that used wheel arches were interesting but thats really all i remember from that part of the build. Its only the second time i've seen the instructions swap to a top down perspective, the other was the great pyramid witch used it for some tree/building placement. For yoda's swamp the entirety of bag 3 was spilt over two topdown steps, placing the transgreen 1x1 plates and tiles respectively. It looks nice but what a slog. That describes my feelings of the set overall. Oh one other note its weird how sculpted and detailed yoda's minifig head is compated to every other starwars lego.

Asnorban posted:I just saw Titanic for the first time and am now scheming a way to get the Titanic and sell it off so I can build it and not take a massive hit. I don’t have the space to display it, so this feels like a good plan. Until I get attached to it. List it on Ebay as built and then shill bid it to the value you want. Set 30 days for the listing and when you're done just box it up and ship it.

I have an update (and I hope it's ok to keep posting these) Got all the parts for the next step   AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND once again realized that I underengineered some parts of this so I can't go much farther until I get some more/replacement parts. Not pictured are two more torpedos and a tomahawk. I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out, and it is much more solid than the front part was because now I know what to do better.  And just for scale, this was the moment my wife realized just how big this is going to be.  "There's only one more part behind this, right?" Oh sweetie.

Looks good. I also like how you're slowly revealing to us nuclear secrets as you build through it. E: One thing I think would be easy to change is instead of swivel plates you have an exposed single stud, (I am assuming it's there so you can pivot the mini fig standing at the control) and then because the foot standing on stud has clutch and the turntable doesn't they won't spin around if you move the sub. or dust.

Maybe Carbs shouldn't work for LEGO. They'd be held back by all sorts of corporate BS and we wouldn't get to see this constant parade of brilliant MOCs.

Excellent build. If I had one unsolicited suggestion it would be to maybe put a small exhaust or hatch or something on the roof just to break up the studs up a little bit. Although, it does seem like you are going for an official Lego modular style with it and they probably wouldn't do that so maybe that's intentional. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 4, 2023 |

Hot drat Carbs, another killer MOC. The sign, building structure, hell everything is awesome. The shulker piece usage is especially slick. Fresh new Indiana Jones leaks, it looks like someone found them for sale at a Learning Express (which is known to sell slightly over MSRP), and the rumors that The Temple of Doom was getting delayed or canceled seem to be true. There are pics of the Fighter Plane Chase and Escape from the Lost Tomb but the only really new picture is of the 18+ Temple of The Golden Idol set. My first impressions are really good, the idol chamber and border really stand out to me. It's cool to see something different than all black siding. There might be play features too?
