Here's a dumb question since I haven't asked one in about 8 minutes, you do all these on studio right? Do you have a different program? Your lighting looks so much better than anything I can do. But that kind of goes along with everything else lego-related lol. I just wasn't sure if you were doing these on a CAD program or if you had all these blocks and stickers on hand and just whipped up all of these cars :-)
The stuff I post is a mix of physical builds and renders. This one's done in Studio, yeah. Settings:
Size: 1200x800
Quality: Medium
Background: Solid Color (100, 100, 100)
Light: Building, Left-Front
Rotation: 0, 0
Intensity: 1.1

I don't have a whole ton of spare pieces on hand, honestly. I use BrickLink to order pieces on a per-model basis when I design something I want to physically own.

The Super Mario line is about to get Larry and Morton. As far as I can tell, that is the last of the koopalings and the last of any of the obvious characters or baddies to get a figure.

The sets are constantly on clearance all over the place. Is this it for the mario line? Are there rumors of what comes next?

Larry was already in another set, and they haven't made Roy yet. Im going to be ticked off if they end the series with 6/7 koopa kids. Roy is the best one anyway.

I think that after the upcoming sets, there will be one more wave in january, and that's it. This series doesn't have a new character base set, or a creativity box, or a set of blind bag/CMFs. It feels like they are winding it down.

I wonder if they screwed up on that. Like, they meant to do Roy but got mixed up and forgot he was done already. Because it made sense to finish the group rather than double up on one. They even did boom boom and pom pom.

I guess that means at least one more run of them. No idea what they would do at this point. Maybe a Daisy main set or something.

I got the Jazz Club for my birthday. My dad bought it at a Lego store in the mall, and they also threw in this Christmas elf scene and a 12-in-1 thing. I didn’t know they’d do that at a brick and mortar store.

Now that you two have posted it I do remember having that set. I also found the white 90° angle and the black ladder thing and had no idea what they were for. I don't have a space logo white 2x3 ramp piece or the black 3 nozzle rockets. I've also lost about 1/3 of my astronaut figs. They were such a loyal crew.

Just remembered the reason I started with my space stuff was because I bought the new galaxy explorer, so it's time to build that. Gonna be just like a time travel episode!

Those ladder type pieces were used for so much greebling in the eighties and early nineties. Not just ladders, but all sorts of grates and vents too.

My story exactly. I mean, exactly. It was fun! Nothing crazy or weird, just a nice little build.

I still have hopes of buying the real thing some day, though.

It's a gorgeous model but the dashboard is kinda wobbly.

I love how they did the wheel wells. The way they narrowed the engine bay as it gets towards the front is nothing ground breaking but looks really, really good.

And the drop nose, too. There are a few subtle angles on the thing that were handled well.

And yeah the dash is held on the end of a rod if I recall, which makes it less stable, but it’s an entirely non-functional part so once it’s in, that’s it.

I love the look of the 7 but the drop nose was always the fragile part for me. It loved to fall off at the slightest touch or rearrangement on the desk. One of my favorite builds and the yellow color is perfect.

You shared it with a dick.

Built the new Galaxy Explorer last night. Really clever, well done and fun as poo poo. Tons of features and detail, if I were a kid I'd play with the finished model for DAYS.

They start you out with one astronaut and the robot. They supervise while the robot passes out drinks.



A couple bags in, a couple more astronauts show up.



Last astronaut arrives, the robot is really tired of the guys refusing to hydrate.



I had to focus on this door mechanism, I haven't been building Lego for the last 35 years so this is really ingenious to me.







Making it functional and also having all this detail in really blows me away.



And then getting the angle and location right so it fits as a back wall to the main fuselage, it's like "how did they figure that out?"



No guys, you can't test drive now, there's no engines yet.



Alright finished model let's goooo



There's bunks, and I love the radar graphic.



Buggy in the cargo bay that rolls out when you pull out and drop the ramp.







Pass through all the way to the cockpit.



Howdy boys, we're from the future!



Worth the money for sure. Took me about 5 hours to build.
