Huh, IMDB doesn't have a confirmed Fenring in the listing, although seems like speculation is that it'll be Tim Blake. There is a "Lady Margot" listed but honestly neither really needs the other to play their own role.

So what I'm saying is, design me Margot and Hasimir based on currently existing minifig pieces.

Ok ok ok, now it’s done. The bottom of the At-Te was way to flat and the 4 other footpads were way to small

Can’t see the underside from those but it’s way more rounded

Dropped the rear, raised the front and moved some of the details on the plate armor around. Only thing left to do now is find a place to put it

Was super late doing the holiday sets this year, but I've managed to make a good enough base. I converted the elf house and santa's visit house (the light blue one) to be smaller and with a closed backs, and on the back of holiday main street I've just slapped together a back wall (and one extra front) with just random leftovers. I'll be getting the proper sand green and tan pieces soon, so they will at least look nice.

Still need to figure out a way to decorate the flat ground somehow, because a straight plate is really boring.

I ran out of slopes already, but that's also an option :)

I was thinking about making some kind of tiled wide sidewalk with extra wedge plates for snow - all that between tracks and buildings and in a T like the sleds/carriage are standing now, but I need to see how many tiles I'm missing until it looks decent.

Hmm, the last Ninjago City set was like 6 months ago, so it seems unlikely they'd do another big one like that so soon. The existing four were from 2017, 2018, 2021 and now 2023. Those are all big "modular" ones, maybe they'll start doing smaller Ninjago City sets? Or maybe not

Guessing it could be a GWP just in general?

Pet peeve is when people call sets by their numbers instead of their names, classic space guys are really bad about this. You guys really got all these numbers memorized? I don't think I could list a single set number from memory.

You could do a shoveled sidewalk in grey with snow piled up between street and sidewalk, or cobble stones or what not. Build what is showing THROUGH the snow.

I'm glad I don't actually care but yeah the number is completely useless, I'm not going to go google that so I can understand your post. It's like the people who name cities by their airport code. I will just happily never know what the gently caress you're talking about.

TBH, the only place I've ever heard people refer to by the airport code is BKK. It seems to be a pretty common usage. Are other places referred to in the same way?

i think my big thing with the lego numbers is that there doesn't seem to be any loving rhyme or reason to them. if all the castle sets were like 6-something, or they all ended in 6 or somethign that made it easy to differentiate from other sets. with other numbers to differentiate on the size of the set and if minifigures are in it and the year its released and so on.

there might have been some method to the madness at some point and now it just feels like madness with no method

Tbh I'm barely even a Lego guy and I only used the numbers for space in the meme and to make people look up what random crap I picked from what years, I just sometimes get possessed by the spirit of shitpost and need to put an intrusive thought into the world.

Yep. I've heard lots of places referred to by area code. But only Bangkok as BKK. That's just my experience. Odds are there are other locations that do it, as well.
