Sort sellers by number of a particular part in stock. Usually the crazy huge stores will have many multiples at least of relatively common pieces.

I just wish Studio was less of a nightmare for working with precise connections or Technic pieces. And forget about using flexible parts without going insane. I seem to recall the original LDD software being able to simulate movement/hinging with multiple points of contact.

BaconCopter posted:As if the rumor gods heard your plea Brick Clicker just dropped November GWP info! So, rumor gods, please can we have some news on the Medieval Market Village?  I'm not quite getting the "double Majisto" thing, I know it's just leaks and no one really knows, but... so the insider weekend on 18-19 November is 2x points (which is basically a 10% cashback, up from the "regular" 5% cashback) and will have Majisto GWP, but then the same GWP will also come back for Black Friday on 24-27 November together with actual honest-to-God money discounts? Since I already know what I'm going to grab to get the GWP (Viking village 100% and if that's not enough, 31109 pirate ship 3-in-1), I guess I should figure out if those things are likely to get discounted for black friday - my gut says no, one is the latest Ideas set to come out, the other seems to be a best seller that I've never seen discounted beyond like 5% and is actually over retail on most Ebay stores and the like - or if I care more about the points, esp. since I'm about to reach the biggest discount treshold ... sigh. I actually like doing these things and figuring out what's the best way to get my desired outcome in general, but it can get frustrating  Also, at least here in EU the Spooky Pirate Cove GWP went out of stock within 2 days of releasing... I doubt Majisto is going to last beyond the first "wave" - unless they've produced A LOT of stock - with how thirsty everyone is for castle things, we really only have the Castle and Forestmen GWP right now and I can't be the only one wishing they'd put out more, MOOOORE...

The main issue with such a piece is it'd need a little line cut out of it like tiles get so people can get a fingernail in there to remove it. Maybe with stud inversion people don't care and will work around it but that would prevent using it on exteriors (except in cases where the lines are actually used as a feature, which I'm sure some builder would eventually do). Yeah brick separators exist but we all prefer to use our fingers first. It is still a weird omission though. We already have double sided bricks, so why not plates?

I was waiting for your review of this set since you mentioned picking it up. Thanks! Also, that's a clone of a Mega piece that's been around for years and year. Surprisingly they don't use it was often as you'd think.

Is the double stud piece symmetrical or does it have a top and bottom? That might be a pain for instructions.

a little more of my city has been built https://imgur.com/a/UZevxFK I absolutely need to figure out how to make more space for this. Probably set 2 Kallax side by side and use both their tops? basically doubling my space and letting me walk around it all (if I put them jutting in the middle of the room, like I want to do and like my wife definitely doesn't want me to) I have 2 creator sets yet to build and I also plan to buy the train station, God help me TorakFade fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Oct 24, 2023 |

heres an instagram video which shows some of the action and while the flapping looks kind of goofy everything else looks badass, seems like you can even fold the wings with a button or something? https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyyMRftIusr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link sold. maybe not at rrp but if it goes ever so mildly on sale I'm all over it. e: the wing folding action looks insane, I was skeptical but this rules hard Zwille fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Oct 24, 2023 |

The ornithopter doesn't look as good as some of the MOCs and doesn't use some parts I thought were no brainers, but it seems to be a compromise to do a bunch of cool play features, so I am ok with it. Overall just surprised that it looks more Lego playset than 18+ but it still looks very good. The minifig selection is excellent. Definitely the first expensive Lego set in a while I'll get day one. I still can't believe they made a Denis Villeneuve Dune set lol.

Also it's crazy they did both that Baron body and brand new giant 1 piece elements for the wings just for that set. Can't even get them to print parts for Star Wars sets that are priced at 30%+ more and have less stuff in them. E: AND a new cockpit piece. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Oct 24, 2023 |

 Just pre-ordered that beautiful thing. Edit: Where the gently caress am I going to put that thing? Since the legs are so solid you could probably use some technic pieces to make a wall mount. deoju fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Oct 24, 2023 |

Oh yeah, in the main image it looks plastic. The rear side of the fabric makes it look like a giant version of the "dress" part from that angle.

I'm gonna be a curmudgeon; I don't think it looks significantly cooler than the black panther ornithopter, at 10x the price. What I'm saying is they need to make a whole range of dune stuff in the $15-20 range to have battles with, but somehow kids aren't into DUNE and I don't know why?!

I think the front end looks fantastic but it’s weirdly kind of unfinished looking on the back end. Exposed technic bricks, very little greebling or stud/tile balance. Still I think it looks great but it is kind of under detailed for an 18+ set. The price point seems super reasonable which is a nice change of pace for LEGO as of late.

Bummer, that's a pass for me. For such a distinctively clean looking craft, the lego model is quite messy. Agree that it's unfinished looking and going for "play features" over clean refined lines in a Dune tie-in aimed at adults feels like a weird choice. But maybe the kids love Dune, idk. The copious exposed studs, exposed technic and lack of ball joints for the wing connections are the bad points to me. Lizard Combatant fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Oct 25, 2023 |

But maybe the kids love Dune, idk. Lego is in a weird place still with 18+ sets. They seem to be pushing the adult market more and more, and getting licenses more and more geared towards adults but still insisting that every set be appealing to children. They even say as much in the designer reveal video for this. Give them a few more years and you'll be seeing sets that aren't aimed at children at all.

I was the kind of kid who absolutely would have been into Dune and would have loved a set like this, but on the other hand I also would have been just as into a more accurate model with less moving parts. Just seems like the riskier choice to play to both crowds in this instance.
