Was watching old lego commercials and was looking at Lego Studios sets and remembering that I always wanted that set to make my own movies, but my parents said no because the set was too expensive. Even when I got lots of cash from my Grandparents I wanted to buy the Lego Studio set myself, but my parents forbid me from buying it, they took the money and put it in the bank.
Check out the Bricklink designer program, submit your design, it may become an actual Lego product! Designer Program [BrickLink]
The rest of yesterday's haul, Disney 100th anniversary Brickheadz. Started looking at Rebrickable and there's a few I wouldnt mind making.
I'm struggling just to even fit a single minifigure in there while keeping everything structurally sound. In fact, I'm thinking I may have to exclude that feature entirely unfortunately. It's the only area that is continuously giving me trouble I considered going back and making the entire thing a little bit larger to easier accommodate a minifig in the torso, since there are essentially two Minifigure scales, one based on their height (which is what I went with), and one based on their width. But I'm too far along now to just start over I doubt it, they probably can't get ahold of the license. Otherwise I'd be surprised that they haven't done a line yet, because it seems right up Lego's alley. A line of buildable Gundam action figures by Lego might be seen as taking sales from Bandai's own line of buildable Gundam action figures, so they wouldn't want to give Lego permission to do it My best bet would be putting together some digital instructions when it's done and selling that alongside a parts list, after I build it physically to make sure it's structurally sound, although I would absolutely love to have one of my designs as some sort of official set at some point
Don’t have much experience with buying GWPs, so please help me out. What would a reasonable price for getting the Bionicle GWP be? The EBay price seems to have settled around £35 buy it now. Is that fair?
Just spotted a X-Wing Polybag with the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi on Target's website. Lego Star Wars X-wing Starfighter 30654 Building Toy Set : Target
They had some interesting minifigures and accessory pieces, at least. I bought the Hip Hop Car with the express purpose of customizing it into a mobster luxury sedan (space for four minifigures, opening doors, trunk, and bonnet hood) for Penguin from Matt Reeve's The Batman. Also works as the car that Jules and Vincent ride around in from Pulp Fiction (I was planning to get custom minifigures of them, lol).
Rivendell reveal imminent. https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/1622611342132740096 I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
God, that's gorgeous. Roof's going to be a pain to build, though. Also, the painting with minifig Sauron. Lego, why must you tease me so. From the press release: $499.99 / £429.99 / €499.99
Apparently a Zelda set got leaked from a survey. A Deku tree with OoT Link and BotW Zelda & Link minifigs
Don’t tempt me, Frodo! I have no real love for Rivendell as a location but this is just done so well with all of the relevant locations. The council area in particular calls to me. I’m 98% sure I’m going to pass as this takes up a ton of space, but they made this way harder than I’d ever have expected. Good show Lego. edit: be still me beating heart - they actually made Bilbo have his screaming/scary face! <3
THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RIVENDELL™ 10316 | Lord of the Rings™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US Product page, March 5 for VIP and March 8 for the plebians
$500 USD translates to roughly maybe $750 CDN @Lazerwave as we pay at least 2x (or more depending on who is our supplier) the amount pricewise than compared to the States. Love to get Rivendell, but don’t have enough shelf space for that beast if I end up getting it.
Rivendell looks amazing. Showed my wife and we both love the detail on the roof. Not sure if we'll pick it up but it's really stunning.
