I gotta say, I was gonna trash it and the $1000 price tag for a 6200 piece Star Wars model buuuuuuuuuuut only $600???

Either there are a ton of 1 stud blocks in there or they have hit peak star wars with these massive sets and the Star Destroyer and AT-AT just aren't selling well.

I'd be more down for the RC if it were still active, but blowing it up in S2 really sucked.

I've seen mentioned on the Lego subreddit (sorry) that new LotR kits are coming; for now it seems to be mostly (only?) Brickheadz, but at least it's not based on the Ring of Power crap...

I use my mines of Moriah set and my fellowship sets for D&D with my kids.

 

[Quasicat]

Announced today I think, and it is gigantic.

It was rumored to be around $650. At that price, I expect it to be big. I’ll stick with my original one, which I’ve noticed has gone up in price recently on Amazon.

Lego Ideas approval details are in. Insects, Orient Express, Space art, and Polaroid Camera

 

[jason10mm]

I'd normally be pretty down for the Nautilus but that looks a bit low effort versus the wonderful art deco one from the old film.

James Webb telescope when?? Also the Chinese space station? The space stuff is my main focus now, finishing up the lunar lander now.

Hey guys, I just found this site while looking for Lego Zelda, and I was wondering how "legit" it was; I mean, obviously they're not official Lego sets, and the minifigs are 99% custom, but most of the rest (the BotW stables or the various Master-Sword-in-a-pedestal) appear to be old-ish Ideas stuff, I just can't find any info on if they're using official Lego bricks (bought from bricklink or whatever).

I bet they are using a Chinese supplier.

 

[jason10mm]

I bet they are using a Chinese supplier.

Yeah, I can't quite figure out their price per brick but a 2000 piece Zelda set for 122 euros(?) seems like it would be hard to spin any money off bricklink sourced pieces though I suppose if you shave off the need for actual licensing and whatnot and stick to very common pieces maybe it could be done.

In my experience the "non lego" legos, even fairly major ones like megablocks, just don't connect the same and the builds usually are weak because they are more willing to cut corners or have single stud connections, stuff Lego won't do.

There is like a $800/6000 piece bricklink Rocinate build out there that I am DYING to do, but it's hard to step away from the lego engineers and how satisfying most of their stuff is.

LOTR sets are coming but in the meantime there have shown some promo shots of the Brickheads for the LOTR. I think I want Gandalf and Balrog.

 

[jason10mm]

I dunno, those super deformed figures are kinda like the Funko Pops of the Lego world. Not my cuppa but LOTR ones would be cool to collect.

I have some of the stormtrooper articulated ones, wish they had more like a snow trooper rather than the unarmored humans like Luke, all the exposed joints just looks weird to me.

I do think we are getting a legit Balrog and Gandalf set. I will get that most likely.

 

[darth.shrimp]

That Balrog be looking kinda cute ngl

Do we have any ideas/rumors of what other sets might be coming?

 

[Quasicat]

I received the Friends Central Perk Lego set for Christmas. Problem is…as hard as I wanted to, I could never get into Friends.

I found some instructions on Rebrickable on how to make Maclaren’s Pub from How I Met Your Mother (something I’m sure Lego would never let happen officially) using nothing but the Central Perk build.

Now I just need to find an old man minifig around here so I can have Old Marshal order Young Marshal some wings.

[Quasicat]

Awesome! Now I need that Temple of Time Ideas build that from Breath of the Wild which was declined a few years back.

 

[Pejo]

Glad we're getting a Zelda kit, but it's not exactly the one I'd have picked if I had my choice. Maybe if it does well we'll get more.

By the way, any of you have the NES set with the scrolling Super Mario Bros level on the TV? I'm looking at picking that up next.

I have the NES and the Atari.

I have the NES and the Atari.

You recommend the NES one? I'm looking more for recommendations that it's fun to build, but also if it displays nicely in person.

Highly recommend the NES. It is a very fun build and looks great!

I think it is a lot a fun. It is not the size of a NES just a bit smaller, but it does look cool. And the TV mechanism is really cool.

 

[Quasicat]

I have the NES and the Atari.

Definitely pick it up and get the Mario starter kit as well if you can. They are actually designed to be used together.

I live vicariously through my children whom are massive Lego fans. My son has the entire Mario set, but I have the NES. I occasionally steal his Mario every so often and attach it to my set to hear it play.

 

[RoboFu]

Will definitely get the zelda ones. I like th at they are normal non interactive characters.

Sigh, right when I told myself I should take a Lego break after finishing the Starry Night and Great Wave sets...

I like this in concept, but the "scene" type kits never really resonated with me. I like to build something that looks like something specific when it's done. This just looks like a mess of plants and buildings packed together in an unnatural way. It doesn't look like a satisfying outcome.

I'd like more kits like the newer Ecto-1. Something that has a ton of pieces and complexity, but also looks like a clear object when it's finished. I waffled back and forth on buying the Hogwarts Castle one just for the piece count and complexity, but it just didn't strike me as something that looks cool when it's finished.

I have to say though, the hobbits having the shorter legs pieces makes me happy.
