I'm going to put this next to the Parisian restaurant, then add a bouncer to keep the diner riffraff out.

How do I make minifigs look like they're looking down their noses at someone? That would really sell it.

Looks like they're really doing the custom faces instead of the standard yellow heads then?

Any way to cheaply get a bunch of basic ones?

New modular is $170. I saw a bunch of pics in a youtube vid, not sure where they are from. I don't see them on the lego site.

Looks good.

Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

As a non-modular guy that is a sweet set. It may be my Jersey diner roots though, just needs more chrome!

Like it matters. Lowtax could nag every single goon to support it and it wouldn't get a quarter of the votes it needs.

Unless you got a facebook campaign with meme potential your idea is DOA.

I like this. I admire that the builder uses BURP elements instead of building up cliffs from 100 pieces. Shows an understanding of how Lego would actually approach it. Lego designers would be able to make this Idea really shine.

Also, that diner is going to cause friction in my marriage. But I have already committed to buying it. I may line up in front of the store on release day, which I have never done.

I love the design, and the price point is really good after the last two big modulars being ££££.

I keep meaning to revisit this, and expand on it. But it's been sitting on my desk for like a year and a half with nothing happening.

And craters don't span baseplates either. :v:

I had fun with it. My idea has been to rig some technic holes into the edges so I can snap more baseplates together.. I have like six different mini versions of the galaxy explorer so room must be made.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Why is the Winter Train 10254 so drat expensive. It has ~700 pieces and costs 1100 of my moonbucks, and i would need to spend 800 more for a couple of pieces to get it motorized.
Compared to the Winter Station 10259 with the same amount of pieces, costs 800, and is oft critisized for its bad piece:price ratio.

Is it the train track pieces? You get 4 of those for a dollar over at bricklink, but maybe Lego has them priced very high, internally? Or is it simply a "Cool set tax"? (The Winter Train is really loving cool and i want it)

I have some notes.
Funny how that set comes with an extra blind wheel even though the train doesn't use it, almost like buying 2 sets would give you a complete set of red train wheels...

Sorry, guy.
Quake Mech went live. Same with Garmadonx3 and Piranha Attack.

I really enjoy going to the Lego store but today is a busy day so I was lucky to find and hold them at my local Target, too. Target has a free Lloyd figure with any purchase of a Ninjago over x dollars.

Did anything else launch today?
