Sunk Dunk posted:I'm building the yellow fiat right now and I noticed that almost all of the 2x2 curved slope pieces have some kind of blue discoloration. has anyone ever seen this before? it's kinda ugly so i might order some new pieces... The colour consistency is pretty shite throughout the entire model. Art imitating life, I suppose.

BaconCopter posted:Lion Knights' Castle has been an absolute blast. I'm really loving the way all of the geometry has been working out. I'm taking my time with it, savoring all of the incredible details. Lion Knights' Castle might be my favorite build. Plenty of little detail but it also feels like a giant heavy hunk of plastic in the best way that a Lego castle should (and the BURPs of our childhood kept them from doing).

I’m about halfway through the Avengers Tower. Building experience had been… fine I guess, but not crazy fun or anything. Lots of the same gray windows. I think once I get close to the end and start building the very top and the angled wall to complete it, things will pick up

I just started the Avengers Tower, and maybe I'm getting old, but the big alien monster build at the very beginning feels fiddly as gently caress during the assembly stage. I broke pieces off two or three times putting it together.

Looking at it and having watched a speed build yeah that's a fiddly fucker with all those clipped on bits I need to get rid of ye big wizard school before I start on my Avengers Tower, I think the spot the school is in is the only place for it really. Also if I get the Bugle I think it'll go there too.

Since we are griping about builds: The Natural History Museum is a substandard modular build. It looks great but it's in the lower half, IMO, of modulars. Not sure where I would rank it, but it's not even as good as the designers last modular, the police station. Admittedly, the police station is a fantastic build.

Man it's so common that when he was 8 months old I pulled up to a stoplight and noticed the car next to me had a baby Wolverine sticker on it. I asked the guy and he also named his son Logan, and was only 3 months younger than mine. Anyway he just wants a ton of Mario Lego sets for Xmas. I got some new ones and some hand me downs from my nephew, two of which are duplicates but that seems fine since I guess the idea is just to make bigger more elaborate levels.

I don't want to be that guy on reddit who posts that their friend bought them half the lego store, but my friend bought me the BTTF Delorean. I already own one, so I decided to make this one special and ordered a lighting kit for it. Turns out that Light My Brick is 45 minutes away from me in Humble. TX.

I think they're actually Australian but they have a warehouse and poo poo there for their American sales because of the logistics of IAH, I guess? My folks live pretty close to there too.

So I guess they just got a warehouse in Humble because it's really close to IAH and the shipping channel. Makes a lot of sense.

New Marvel sets. The X-Men Jet has a higher PPP than the Hoopty, and somehow making those mechs with female characters still isn't happening.

Jesus, I had seen that rumored price, but god drat that's absolutely robbery. I expect it to be on sale at 30+% pretty quickly, just like the Hoopty... which is still a bad price.

So that’s like adding an expected and hefty secondary market value of the minifigs (Wolverine especially) to a more typical set price tag? Wild. What’s the situation with Disney and X-Men rights? Are all the Marvel IP back under the same roof now? Will this be the first X-Men set officially under Marvel under Disney?

Fox only ever had the rights to live-action film and television adaptations; toys and other merch were unaffected by that licensing deal. When relations between the two companies soured, Marvel didn't allow those characters to be used in toys or video games for several years because they didn't want to advertise a competitor's movies, not because they didn't have the rights. At any rate, all the older X-Men sets were produced years after Disney bought Marvel but before they started sitting on the IP.
