I hope whatever new material they find has the same kind of durability for wear and tear. http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/23/news/companies/lego-sustainable-material/

The Volvo Ocean Race is in town and the (all female) SCA team has this giant beautiful thing on display     A right angle for the keel thing wasn't good enough for whoever built it.

For anyone who wasn't aware UK Lego stores are having a big 30% off sale. It's probably the best sale I've seen since I got back into Lego as it's more than half a dozen Ninjago sets for 10% off. A lot of the stuff online is soldout, but there was plenty in store (Manchester) today. Some Chima stuff, the previous series (or two?) of Mixels, some Creator, some Technic (including a couple of big sets like the very tempting cargo plane), all Ultra Agents, all Lego Movie except the ship (and that includes Benny's Ship and the Police Dropship), Hobbit and a few others... oh and the Ideas Exo-Suit (which was a surprise). Didn't get anything because I'm waiting for the Ultra Agents boat at the moment. Edit: Oh yeah, there's some Star Wars stuff in it as well. Another edit: Going to be hard to resist heading back into town for the Ultra Agents 4X4 and Helicopter tomorrow. Gravy Jones fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jun 27, 2015 |

Anyone build a decent stand for tyderium? I want to get it one of these days, but it looks so much lamer in landing mode it's kind of off putting. It looks big enough that you couldn't really get away with a stack of bricks though.

Picked up the last Benny's Spaceship they had in store, as well as the Miles Morales Spider-Man set. I might get a couple of the Exo-Suits if I go back at some point. That's a really good price on them. When is the sale running till?

Every time I search for it I get the GB / Europe LEGO page. Does anyone know what the deal is? I'm dying for the Miles + Carnage figures. We have Ant Man Final Battle but none of the new Spiderman stuff, not even in the local LEGO store. Also, someone convince me to stop spending money on minifigs, I just realized they have a Darth Revan fig but it's upwards of $30.

The Rage posted:Had no clue, but apparently Seattle is getting it's third Lego store next month, guess I'll go snag another Lego store set. Cool! Though, technically, Seattle has zero Lego stores. One's in Bellevue (trip across the lake), one's in Lynnwood (25 minutes north), and the new one is coming to Tukwila (~15 minutes south). The Tukwila store will cut a good 40 minutes off of a Lego store round-trip for me, although it also means no Pagliacci lunch. Grand opening is the weekend of July 17th. Day 1, get a free child-size t-shirt if you spend $50. Day 2, get a Lego Store kit if you spend $99. Day 3, get an exclusive minifig set if you spend $50. Limited to the first 300 qualifying purchases each day. When I tried to go to the Lynnwood opening, there was a ~2 hour line still within like a half-hour of opening. Also, you can help build a giant Hulk statue.

Meanwhile Australia has no official Lego stores anywhere in the whole country and we're about 2-3 months behind everywhere else in the world on the release schedule and pay about 30%+ more for them so  Even our online Lego store ships from the UK. I need those Carnage and Ant-Man sets but I'm trying to stay strong and not pay the $30 shipping...

Are you talking about the set with Carnage, Spider Man and a jump-jet thing? I bought it the other day from a Toyworld in Melbourne. Twenty bucks.

I don't remember, were these sets previously revealed at all? Tested.com is friends with a dude who works at Lego as a designer, and he worked on the new Minecraft sets coming out in a few months. Included is The Nether, it seems, as a huge set. His personal creations are super sweet, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27xunbG3OWo&hd=1

I'm watching that video, and at about 30 minutes, he talks about what designers do post-sketching. When they disassemble their models or sketches, they'll put the big, common pieces back into their bins (like 2x4s), but small items like technic pins and other stuff that would be a pain in the rear end to sort, they put them all in a big bin...which goes to recycling where the pieces are shredded and put back into the manufacturing process. Even Lego hates sorting!

You sort everything because each technic pin is a finite supply on your own Lego stash, and new ones being ~5-10 cents each. Where they works is a near infinite supply, due to working for the supplier. So yeah, they don't give a gently caress. The time they spent sorting that poo poo they could have made 1000x more of them.

I wanted to see what Lego Minecraft minifigures/mobs/tools/unique elements came in each set and tried googling for an image that showed the total number of those in all the current sets in one picture, but instead, I got this: Also, the Lego Minecraft sets are currently pretty decently discounted on Amazon right now. Buying all six will save you $60 or so off the retail price! Basically, "buy the complete set of Minecraft Legos available, get The Ender Dragon free!" If only Lego offered deals even remotely like that still.

Figured they were fake, looks like I was right.

Dogen posted:I don't like the new one and agree the stud shooter turret at the front is stupid. The Tumbler doesn't come close at all to resembling the Batmobile from TAS or Tim Burton's stuff. I think as a collectible it has value but it just isn't a Batmobile. I actually have the entire LEGO 7781 Two-Face escape set minus the roablock intact and just sitting around if you (Oxyclean) would be interested in that at all. The Batmobile there is a very Burton-style vehicle. (Not my picture)  EDIT: I absolutely loathe stud shooters because LEGO feels the need to stick them on everything now. Hulkbuster? Let's put on on his arm. Batmobile? Sure, on the front. I would have burst a blood vessel if they had tacked some onto the UCS Slave I or something.
