RE: Big lego thread

[sonic mirage]

Big more

Like 2/3rds

[arctic notch]

Biggest problem I face when I’m in Lego

[floral marten]

Just arrived

[sonic mirage]

https://www.lego.com/product/imperial-star-destroyer-75394 OH DAMN! KAL KESTIS

[arctic notch]

I heard it’s so nice how it turns out

The different texture

[safe sierra]

Hmmmmmm

[floral marten]

Ya I’ve heard good things.

It’ll be a little while before I can start assembling it though. Hopefully on the weekend I can get started

[cerulean wharf]

Hmmm

It's very strange since my Star wars day order shipped in 2 shipments and one of them arrived no problem

[sonic mirage]

contact support to ask them to resent it or atleast compensate your double VIP points

[cerulean wharf]

I don't think the package ever left their warehouse, or got very damaged by the time I made it to shipper

As far as I can tell, ontrac never received it

[sonic mirage]

Just contact em they will do their thing

generally you get free VIP points or smth

[arctic notch]

Either it’s cause gift was included twice

[cerulean wharf]

As far as their shipping manifest can tell, gift was just once

[cunning canyon]

I know a Lego Store that sellls rare legos.

[sonic mirage]

Define "rare"

cus I know multiple that do to 😂

[cunning canyon]

I’d have to ask my brother. I’ll wait until he wakes up.

I should’ve taken pictures..

[tardy shoal]

@sonic mirage are you building sir?

[sonic mirage]

not now

my hands hurt

and I got a headache

😅

[tardy shoal]

pretty clear withdrawal symptoms from not building enough

[sonic mirage]

or I am just not doing so great atm 😅

[sonic mirage]

@tardy shoal just for you a progress picture\

thats end of bag 4

[tardy shoal]

oooo very nice!

[sonic mirage]

I did that yday

[quick swift]

🙃

[sonic mirage]

Crunchy

What is the black one tho?

🤨

[quick swift]

Eclipse dreadnought (not finished)

Meant to be something like this

[sonic mirage]

hmm interesting

I am so annoyed that I got the star destroyer and ITS SO MASSIVE that I don't got space 🥲

[quick swift]

I’ve got custom builds the same size as the SD’s just sat in boxes cos I don’t have the room but i impulse buy stuff 🤣

[sonic mirage]

yea it's Gigantic D:

[quick swift]

the falcon is the worst size wise because its just as wide as it is long so it makes it so hard to store it

[sonic mirage]

it's a shame that there isn't any like shelving for on the wall that is wider then 35cm without having to make it yourself

or look ugly 😦

[quick swift]

there quite alot of sites that make custom sized shelves for large lego sets but theyre expensive

[sonic mirage]

it would be nicer if it was closer to like ikea prices but allas

[quick swift]

as you can see aswell the shelf everything is sat on is a custom build and its massive takes up atleast 10% of the room just for 4 ships

[sonic mirage]

yea

I know some people who ceiling mount them but I couldn't

I would be too scared of them falling

[quick swift]

id be wayyyyy to scared espeically with UCS sets

them people have no fear in life

[sonic mirage]

Wall mounting okay I ain't super scared

Ceiling

💀

you playin with fire

[quick swift]

i wouldnt even have the nerve to hold it up to mount it, let alone trust myself enough to properly have mounted it... id be like hmm am i sure i put enough screw up to hold it

[sonic mirage]

I just hate that most plank carriers are kinda ugly looking

tbf I like the Lack system from Ikea where you have a mount with pipes so you don't see them but the sheer thickness of the planks needs to be thiccc

[quick swift]

tbh tho with the amount of weight on it, it has to be very sturdy

[sonic mirage]

Holy shit balls https://www.lego.com/product/great-deku-tree-2-in-1-77092

[sonic mirage]

Fyi if you got the UCS venator with P2 Rex sent a email to costumer support for a 60 euro/dollar voucher!

@quick swift ^

[quick swift]

Surprisingly that’s the only UCS set I don’t have, i was stuck between that and a PC, so I bought a new Pc 🤣 ty for the info tho 😇

[sonic mirage]

oh so it's a moc venator

😂

[quick swift]

yeah had it about 8 years, was kinda butthurt when they released the UCS one

[sonic mirage]

Valid tho its a nice set

Wish i had the money for it but allas

[quick swift]

wheres all the other lego heads at lol

[sonic mirage]

They just vibin

😂

[floral marten]

I’m at work! But been slowly building the Milky Way this week

Should be done on Friday I think

[quick swift]

That’s gunna look amazing from a distance

[floral marten]

Yes it should look good! Just not sure where I want to mount it yet

[sonic mirage]

Fancy pants lego store i see

[floral marten]

Finally finished it up. I had hurt my hand earlier so left it for a few days

[arctic notch]

So nice every time

[sleek eagle]

omg that is so pretty

[floral marten]

Ya it turned out really nice. Just undecided where I’ll hang it

[sonic mirage]

on the wall

[floral marten]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-pirate-rimshot-drums-ba-dum-tss-gif-5765319

[sonic mirage]

hehe

[safe sierra]

I got Mandos N1 at walmart sunday. It was on rollback for $48

[arctic notch]

https://m.youtube.com/shorts/b6448rJI8E4?si=PsV8mul6RBIpp5pR

[sonic mirage]

here at one of the toy retailers you can now save for free lego and 20 euro's off discount

the temptation to outright buy a giant set redeem all my points in 1 go is great 😂

they give you the clone commander battle pack for free as example

[heavy patio]

https://tenor.com/view/denmark-denmark-flag-denmark-gigachad-denmark-chad-gif-25691095

[floral marten]

It’s 2x VIP points now! At least in NA not sure about other regions

[sonic mirage]

All regions

Not that i have money for it 😂

[floral marten]

i just bought the retro radio, I'll be saving the bigger ticket items like notre dame until the holidays when gwp are out

[sonic mirage]

I need it

[floral marten]

It’s 2x VIP so not a bad time for it if you really need it now

[sonic mirage]

if I had the money for it 😂

but I don't

[floral marten]

Being fiscally responsible I see

[sonic mirage]

gotta do what I gotta do 🥲

[floral marten]

I’m not sure the battery warning is big enough…

[sonic mirage]

oh man thats a US thing 😂

Also once you finish it could you show it off in a video I am hella curious about it highkey

[heavy patio]

Rockster.

We need to talk.

[sonic mirage]

I made you addicted to lego D:

[heavy patio]

Loaf...

This

Is a loaf...

[sonic mirage]

but this is the lego thread D:

[heavy patio]

Make

A lego bunny

As loaf

[sonic mirage]

D: I don't got the pieces

[floral marten]

They really want you to notice the warning

[sonic mirage]

you in NA right?

[floral marten]

Turn the tuxedo cat kit into a bun!

[heavy patio]

Can i see the back of this box

[floral marten]

Yep, Canada so that’s the NA box with English, French, and Spanish

[heavy patio]

Only?

🥺

[sonic mirage]

Pretty sure its because of a new rule in the US about battery safety and well they just print it on all the NA boxes cus well why would u have different boxes within the NA

[heavy patio]

Lego has a production line in america i think

But

It must be there

[floral marten]

Sure, but it’s fairly unmarred by warnings

[heavy patio]

Just a tiny word

[heavy patio]

Ok wait where is there a lot of texts, languages, trademark

[floral marten]

This?

[heavy patio]

@sonic mirage !!!!!

[sonic mirage]

It's the mexican factory highly likely

W song

[sonic mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x47NYUbtYb0

A classic 😮‍💨

[heavy patio]

Yes

[heavy patio]

i made an edit with a mexican formula 1 driver

using this song

its a bit of a mess, and hes not a good driver anymore lol

its also very cringe

[floral marten]

Not finished yet but got the mechanism and dials done. Soundbrick is the last step

[sonic mirage]

I am mainly interested in the soundbrick ngl

[floral marten]

Well it will play static and some clips. The mechanism that triggers it is neat though!

The spinning ball thing pushes down on a plunger which will push the sound brick button

And it will only spin if the radio is “on” because of the gearbox

[floral marten]

It is random and this had a few duplicates. Not sure how many samples there are

[sonic mirage]

And with your phone in it?

[floral marten]

Haven’t tried it

[safe sierra]

Intriguing lego set

[floral marten]

I like it and 2x points helped

[sonic mirage]

Rebuild the galaxy sets and the falcon includes DARTH JAR JAR and Lightside Vader and Beach Luke skywalker 😂

And the Tie xwing mix I just can't 😂

[safe sierra]

Omg 😂

[arctic notch]

NA I think

I see it on home alone set and the batcave set

Oh it’s been answered

[arctic notch]

LMAO

[sonic mirage]

100$ for this with child leia

nah I will hold off till -25%

[floral marten]

My thoughts were huh, looks like the black one has a hat on, then I glanced up and saw they actually had hats…

[sonic mirage]

https://www.lego.com/product/c-3po-75398 < Is the same scale as the R2D2 released earlier this year and it's perfect!

Jedi bobs starfighter preview

[sonic mirage]

AI be like

💀 unable to give any detail to anything else

[granite charm]

eh true

[small pivot]

finished this one the other day

[sonic mirage]

such a nice set I hope they might remake it at some point honestly

[small pivot]

they probably will next year since I just bought this one 😆

[arctic notch]

I got the last gen one before the current gen that’s slightly smaller

[floral marten]

Those hanging over the edge triggers some anxiety in me

[sonic mirage]

I dont want the recent playscale one it looks goofy as heck imo

[small pivot]

theyre all like that lol. the cat knocked them down once

[floral marten]

Ya that would make me so nervous

[small pivot]

which one is that, I thought the only other ones were much smaller?

[arctic notch]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/imperial-shuttle-tydirium-75094 I have this one

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/imperial-shuttle-75302 this one is slightly smaller

smaller overall, smaller cockpit and inside and overall dimensions too

versus

[small pivot]

i didnt realize there were so many lol

i also misunderstood, i thought you were saying there was another near the size as the UCS

[arctic notch]

ahhh np np

if they do a ucs i wouldnt be surprised

[small pivot]

I'e been eyeing up the sandcrawler, it's the only UCS that I would want at this point

that i don't have

[sonic mirage]

you scare me

[sonic mirage]

Crimson chin version 💀

[sonic mirage]

watch out with reddish brown

thats the main reason I haven't gotten it

https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/z44qwx/if_you_have_the_ucs_sandcrawler_dont_try_to/

I would wait for a new one honestly due to this issue

[small pivot]

haha yeah it's a little scary. these both got destroyed. the tie interceptor release got me motivated to rebuild them.

we've since moved the chair so the cats can't reach them

[sonic mirage]

you can always add some weight on the back

to stop it from even tumbling forward

[small pivot]

yesterday i actually ordered some 10 pound 3m double sided tape. im going to tape the bottom of the stands to the shelves

[sonic mirage]

I recommend adding an extension on the back with that regardless

extra surface area

[small pivot]

i am watching a few unopened boxes, do you think the brittle brown is an issue for those too?

[sonic mirage]

yes

they all got that issue

till 2017-2018

[small pivot]

i really want that for the table in the basement tho

[sonic mirage]

the brittle brown has stopped me from buying the UCS sandcrawler

[arctic notch]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/jaws-21350

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/koenigsegg-jesko-absolut-white-hypercar-42184 and the new g wagon

[small pivot]

i dont collect the technic cars but those are cool. i build the normal lego cars lke the db and the f40. i need to order that new lamborghini

[arctic notch]

ya the new countach is nice

i got the old f40 so im hyped for this smaller one

they also had a speed champion one of it a bit back

[small pivot]

i almost bought another porsche to do that countach build, glad i didnt!

[arctic notch]

Oh yea they got a lot of ppl who bought 2 to do the mock since it’s the same color scheme

[small pivot]

i was surprised how close it was for using only that set

[arctic notch]

coming soon

[small pivot]

i like that

[arctic notch]

Yea it’s clean

[neat fiber]

Whoa this thread exists

Where has this been all my life

[spare crater]

Hello Lego fans

^ also a gonk

😮‍💨

[tardy shoal]

yup

[spare crater]

$40 for Jedi bob 🤔

[safe sierra]

Doesnt that make him less rare now though?

[sonic mirage]

yes but no

it's a slightly different print

[small pivot]

Ive never heard of jedi bob either

[sonic mirage]

you might be too young to know

[safe sierra]

ahhh i see

[small pivot]

so after my quick google, he was an unnamed character in a set, and he was dubbbed jedi bob and now its a running joke?

enlighten me

[sonic mirage]

he was dubbed jedi bob in official matterial

as he was an unnamed jedi in the first republic gunship

[small pivot]

lol im probably one of the older people here

i kinda want a jedi bob now

[spare crater]

need that darth jarjar minifig lol

[arctic notch]

Lego P1 ❤️

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/mclaren-p1-42172

[sonic mirage]

A shame its technic but its pretty cool regardless

Maybe if they make a koensegg i might be tempted

[floral marten]

There is the smaller scale jesko

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/koenigsegg-jesko-absolut-grey-hypercar-42173

[sonic mirage]

Nah i want a big one

[neat fiber]

You can get a 1:8 scale on mocsmaker

But you gotta buy the parts since its just the instructions

[sonic mirage]

I don't do mocs

[arctic notch]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/mercedes-benz-g-500-professional-line-42177

need

id get this over the old defender

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/batman-8in1-figure-40748 this is neat though

[neat fiber]

that is cool, wish it wasnt all technic tho

normal bricks for the outside would look so much better

in return sacrificing sturdiness

[spare crater]

Speed champions sets are 👍

[neat fiber]

theyre too small tho

[spare crater]

Got the old defender for 80…not sure about the new Lego pricing

[arctic notch]

they are going off of resale prices of retired sets to set the baseline ffs

[spare crater]

I thought the new Ferrari for $350 was too much lol

At least it’s not as bad as Disney licensing

[arctic notch]

It went up too

[spare crater]

wild

think my max is 500 for a unique set like the lotr ones

[sonic mirage]

@tardy shoal maybe tomorrow I will finish my lego FINALLY

I keep being so distracted

[sonic mirage]

Left old new right different print

[safe sierra]

Ahhh gotcha

[tardy shoal]

dont get my hopes up for nun

[safe sierra]

inb4 Rockster doesnt actually finish the lego tomorrow

[tardy shoal]

im willing to bet on that

@sonic mirage im betting my daily army per diem income (9€) on you not finishing it

[sonic mirage]

Damn u betting now

@tardy shoal @safe sierra

[sonic mirage]

Non believers

[sonic mirage]

@tardy shoal

[sonic mirage]

Done

[tardy shoal]

finally

good work comrade

[sonic mirage]

Maybe soon i will go to the lego store again and check the pick a brick wall

[floral marten]

What other sets do you have in your backlog @sonic mirage

[sonic mirage]

Too many

Atleast 40~

[floral marten]

That’s a lot. I mostly just have GWP that I haven’t built

[sonic mirage]

I just been so busy honestly 😅

With doin nothing 😂

I need to be in a mood/mental state to properly enjoy lego

[sonic mirage]

hmmm

to build or not to build

that's the question on everyones mind

[floral marten]

This is the extent of what i haven’t built. Just GWP or VIP sets

[arctic notch]

Yep my whole closet full of the big ones and vip bonus sets too

[neat fiber]

So yall just buy sets and store it in a closet?

[sonic mirage]

tbf I been tempted to start selling off some of the GWP's I got

[floral marten]

Same but I don’t know if any would be worth it

Some I intend to just give to friends kids

[sonic mirage]

if the other pays for shipping it should be

[floral marten]

Fair enough, I don’t think I have a desirable one. Like no set specific GWP

[sonic mirage]

I just like some of them

[floral marten]

Just the GWP for me

[sonic mirage]

I highly prefer the star wars ones obviously

[arctic notch]

Christmas ones too

[arctic notch]

Atm yea

My GWP

[neat fiber]

Oh lawd

[spare crater]

oh my

that atari set is 140usd atm

[neat fiber]

Yeah just hand it to me, ill get it done in a day or 2

[sonic mirage]

I give my christmas ones to my friends for their bday as they LOVE christmas

[floral marten]

… please tell me you bought those GWP separately

Or did you just do multiple orders

[spare crater]

Probably multiple orders

[sonic mirage]

If you go to the store you can ask to split generally they are aight with it

[arctic notch]

Multiple purchases 😂😂😂

[arctic notch]

Exactly

[arctic notch]

Yea I got at full price 😭

But as long as I snipe these big sets before they retire then it’s good

[arctic notch]

Yea the Christmas is pretty good

[spare crater]

🎉

[sonic mirage]

Damn nice haul!

[cunning canyon]

Oh no. 🤣

Stealing that to send to my wife 😂

I think the P1 is one of the best car set, but it’s soo expensive

[spare crater]

very nice

[arctic notch]

Yea I bought w points

[arctic notch]

Got 2500

[gentle flume]

Is it cheaper with points ? Or you just have so many points

Like how much do you need to spend to get a point

[sonic mirage]

Yea thats good

[arctic notch]

5$ cad per point

I just redeemed points for discount of 500$

[floral marten]

That’s a lot of points! I only have about $70 in points right now

Bumblebee was on for 2x points though so I picked that up yesterday

[sonic mirage]

I am saving up for 100 again

Spend 65 last time i was at lego

[spare crater]

Big clearance at Walmart atm

[arctic notch]

Lego 15$ off at Costco for the technic small ones

[sonic mirage]

I know I want it so bad but also bigotry 💀

[floral marten]

The cat is for my mom, but got some GWP as well

[sonic mirage]

aww you got the @tight lark GWP

[tight lark]

Why?!

[floral marten]

It looks kind of cute as do the alternate builds. But the flower pot gwp was the one I wanted more.

The orchids are for me

[spare crater]

[floral marten]

Built the orchid

[tardy shoal]

Very nice!!!

[arctic notch]

They definitely look similar

[floral marten]

Ya it’s a really good model

[gentle flume]

Didn’t know legos looked this realistic

[floral marten]

I also really like the upcoming wreath

https://falconbricks.com/news/lego-botanical-collection-october-2024/

[arctic notch]

The poinsetta look good

[floral marten]

They do, the wreath is just more appealing to me.

[cerulean wharf]

Lego deals at Costco US

[gentle flume]

Swap the tag with a millennium falcon

[cerulean wharf]

I wish they had those

[sharp crag]

omfg i completely forgot about this thread

[spare crater]

yep already bought a few sets of each new botanical lol, poinsetta set coming soon too

[gentle folio]

im always amazed at how many cool lego sets people got through years and years of collecting

[cerulean wharf]

To Costco? 👀

[spare crater]

depends on your local costco

[cerulean wharf]

$85 lego.com price

[sonic mirage]

not worth it

too close too MSRP imo

[floral marten]

It’s a nice set though

[sharp crag]

about 20% off i say worth it

[sonic mirage]

20% is basically amazon price after 3 to 6 months

[sonic mirage]

Damn

And it has Interrior

Price 549,99€ 499,99$

3942 pieces and releases October

• slave Leia and Max reboo

Better mini figs than mos eisley

Notable retiring star wars sets Cody helmet, Yavin 4, Millenium falcon, Chewbacca, AT-AT

[sonic mirage]

Cody's helm is also on the want list

[tardy shoal]

@sonic mirage i love lego

[neat fiber]

[arctic notch]

Our wallets

[spare crater]

Id rather get another LotR Rivendell for $500 lol

Yavin 4 would be a great pickup at 100

[arctic notch]

omg

need the shadowbox

[small pivot]

Yeah i wish i collected batman just because of that shadowbox

[sonic mirage]

@hollow smelt https://lego.com/categories/vehicles/formula-1-toys 😅

[hollow smelt]

[arctic notch]

I wish i got thr Jaguar and huracan before they retired

[hollow smelt]

[sonic mirage]

Going to the lego store tomorrow

hoping they got good pick a brick again

[small pivot]

brittle brown smh

[sonic mirage]

Thats not brittle brown that's clearly red 💀

Honestly if u message them on lego.com they will sent u a new 1x1 red plate

[small pivot]

it was like 10 pieces in total that i could see. i heard a good amount crack lol

brittle darkish reddish brown

[sonic mirage]

That's dark Red

😅

[small pivot]

doesnt flow the same

i finally bought that slave 1 and now they are making another none

[sonic mirage]

it's just a rumour and it's the Attack of the clones version

[small pivot]

yeah that made me feel better, they would look good side by side

[sonic mirage]

that for sure

[small pivot]

was fun to build

[safe sierra]

Firespray Gunship :p

[small pivot]

nerd room

[neat fiber]

Brown-ish bricks are always super brittle for some reason

Apparently lego is changing to some more renewable brick materials

[hollow smelt]

Made a moc out of the fast and furious charger set

[hollow smelt]

They tried that and it failed

They found that it wasn’t able to match the current ABS plastic that the bricks currently use

[neat fiber]

Dang

[neat fiber]

Supercharger is MASSIVE hehe

[hollow smelt]

It’s supposed to be because it’s a pro mod drag car

[sonic mirage]

Actually the trees and leaves are made from sugarcane

As its flexible and fine enough for that

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/plants-from-plants-40320

[hollow smelt]

Yeah but the whole plan failed

As this started in 2018 but only last year they ditched it

As they found that it had no carbon emissions reduction at all

[cerulean wharf]

forgot to take a pic; but my tradition of buying whatever sets costco has continues: picked up poinsetta and the insect collection last week

[floral marten]

I do like the insects

I’m sure I shared them before but here they are

[spare crater]

copped the fortnite sets

[hollow smelt]

i just got some old sets from the city and creator range

the 60117 Van & Caravan set and the 31079 Sunshine Surfer Van

the Sufer van has a speed champion vibe so i copped it

i got it used for about £10

[sonic mirage]

nice cop!

it's always difficult buying retired sets but it seems like u got a good deal

[hollow smelt]

i bet the speed champion wheels will suit it

[hollow smelt]

it was on a marketplace app called Gumtree where the seller did a tidy up

i asked if it was complete and she said it was because it was put together for her disabled daughter

but the other set i got from bricklink

[neat fiber]

Wait…. Your in Australia as well?

[hollow smelt]

no

uk

@neat fiber

[neat fiber]

Its there as well?

[hollow smelt]

yeah?

but yeah that set should be here by saturday and i'll do the speed champion works to it

Squatted surfer van

A few of the more expensive sets i got

Ive got about 150 other sets?

The planes ive had with me forever

[hollow smelt]

the surfer van set should be here tomorrow

i've been looking for sets that can fit in the speed champion theme

aka it has to be 8 studs wide

[neat fiber]

I dont think 8 stud wide cars exist too much

[hollow smelt]

that van is 8 studs

and it's from the creators line

i built it in bricklink studio and put the speed champion wheels on it and it fits really well

and i have a few of the older style wheels with the smaller rims and axle hole instead of pin hole from old 6 stud speed champion sets

[neat fiber]

Those fit?

[hollow smelt]

yeah

as the wheels it comes with are the same height

@neat fiber

so it has a speed champion feel

[neat fiber]

Ohh those. I thought you were talking about these

Yeah the speed champion ones are nice because the hubcaps are replaceable

Tonnes to choose from

[hollow smelt]

yeah i had a few in my inventory

[neat fiber]

But then because its not an axel straight through they fall off pretty easy

[hollow smelt]

i'm going to put those round tiles on it

i'll show later on

[neat fiber]

This?

[hollow smelt]

yeah

but the wheels in flat silver instead

As the flat silver will look nicer than black

Unless I want to do a vw camper look and put the fast and furious charger wheels on it

[hollow smelt]

@neat fiber

It’s finally here

i already changed the wheels

[neat fiber]

Sheeesh

[hollow smelt]

[cerulean wharf]

Finally a double points week

[neat fiber]

3601 peices seems fun

[cerulean wharf]

It will be

Now where to put it

[hollow smelt]

[floral marten]

I’m tempted by the NES since it’s on sale and the 2x points

Oh it’s gone to back order status… eh, silly fomo

[hollow smelt]

i know a lot of sets are retiring

a few of the speed champion sets are

but i already have those

[floral marten]

The type writer is retiring and I kind of want it but I also can’t really justify it

[hollow smelt]

yeah i saw they're retiring it

i want to buy another speed champion F40 to moc it into a F40 LM

[floral marten]

I have the creator expert f40 so I’m good on those

[hollow smelt]

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-197749/jonnywachter/f40lm-2024/#details

i'll buy another set for this

as i really want to build this

[neat fiber]

Ive never seen those tyres before

https://www.mocsmarket.com/lego-mocs/fiat-500-f-lego-ideas-covid-19-fundraising/

Pretty cool fiat 500

[arctic notch]

Yep

Ultimate flex

Imagine how many sets u can buy with this car

[arctic notch]

My Canadian friends Lego topic since double points this weekend, rbc cards also have 15% cashback on Lego within avion app.🙌🏼

Tax free Lego baby

[floral marten]

Ah I don’t have an RBC card. I did get the NES on double points the other day though

[arctic notch]

Yes I got Nintendo, on sale for vip, I like that

Definitely detracts some bot sellers

[floral marten]

Ya the sale was the thing that pushed me over the edge

There is also a wish list contest going on where you can win up to $1000 usd or cad of sets.

So I submitted a wish list with the knowledge I won’t win

[cunning canyon]

Umm...is that all yours?!

[arctic notch]

I wish LOL

This can buy a car

Went to friends house

He just moved in

[cunning canyon]

...

Wow

[arctic notch]

I’m into cars and Lego, he’s not into cars, just Lego 😂😂😂

[cunning canyon]

🤣

I can see....

[neat fiber]

I hope he is building those lol

[arctic notch]

Ye those are the unbuilt

The built ones are upstairs

Trust fund kiddy

[spare crater]

geezz i though having 5 sets as a backlog was alot lol

[sonic mirage]

oh poor summer child

😂

How does around 30 sound?

it's probably alot more 😅

alot of bigger sets for which I don't have space yet

[safe sierra]

Make more space. Easy peasy

[sonic mirage]

if I could I would

[safe sierra]

I feel that honestly

[spare crater]

glad i limit myself, gotta find space and time

[hollow smelt]

[hollow smelt]

I got this set brand new for £20

And I’ve already ordered extra parts to make this

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-144274/marinbrickdesign/40586-mod-moving-truck-8-studs-wide-lego-cars-moc-instructions/#comments

Going to turn it into a speed champion set

[neat fiber]

Got more parts from webrick

Cheap but i already broke one peice 💀

[neat fiber]

Wait is that an official lego set?

[hollow smelt]

Yeah

It was the GWP set last year

https://rebrickable.com/sets/40586-1/moving-truck/

But I got it off bricklink brand new for £20

[placid bridge]

I LOVE LEGO

[hollow smelt]

Speaking of Lego, I got extra pieces I need for the 8 stud wide conversion

[hollow smelt]

It’s now finished

[safe sierra]

Niceeeee

[hollow smelt]

i might make some more furniture

[spare crater]

[sonic mirage]

I am planning on buying a small set once I get my rebate in 🙈 Just a small one

[arctic notch]

HAHAHAH I did that too for atat

400$ off

[sonic mirage]

Yea well not that kind of rebate

rebate from my power contract cus I overpaid

if only I got 400$ off 💀

[arctic notch]

Ohhhhh

I did points redemption 😂😂😂

Hoarded x2 and x3

[sonic mirage]

I am hoping on either 3x vip cus then I will get it on lego.com or it to drop in price at the local store

[spare crater]

Black Friday has the 5x points? Or was that only may 4th?

[sonic mirage]

only on selected sets like usual

5x VIP would be insane on the AT-AT

😂

That would be 31,875 points

[spare crater]

[sonic mirage]

If only i had that much 😂

[arctic notch]

Strategic buying 😂 only at x2 or events

[sonic mirage]

I do the same tho

Just never have money

[spare crater]

wow big spender lol

i buy more on amazon/walmart/target

[sonic mirage]

So I am planning on building the UCS A-wing but I wanted to build today but I don't got anything to watch D: so I can't build

The worst part about the UCS A-wing is the sticker on the window 🥲

[safe sierra]

Just build the A Wing smh

[sonic mirage]

No i require something more then just building

Gotta love having adhd

As I get easily distracted it's nice to have a distraction other then music

But my media server is down atm 🥲

[placid bridge]

Lego

[safe sierra]

I feel that 😭

I usually have Netflix on the second monitor when i play any videogame lmao

[sonic mirage]

[spare crater]

walmart with the best black friday deals so far?

[sonic mirage]

Depends on what u need

Amazon generally has decent lego deals too

[sonic mirage]

@buoyant cipher https://www.lego.com/product/mandalorian-fang-fighter-vs-tie-interceptor-75348

[buoyant cipher]

back ordered LOL

[sonic mirage]

It's retiring if you buy via their website you will get double points once it rolls to the 23rd

Never forget

Light up figures

🥲

[buoyant cipher]

the annoyingly hard to replace battery

[sonic mirage]

Also you forgetting the 8098 clone wars version

It wasn't meant to be replacable

[buoyant cipher]

I have the uh

[buoyant cipher]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/republic-gunship-75309

[sonic mirage]

yea I have it here too boxed

[buoyant cipher]

full built already

on shelf

[sonic mirage]

So I am planning on building the A-wing before the AT-AT

but yea focus 💀

I am still waiting for a UCS MTT but that never gonna happen

they downsizing it constantly

[buoyant cipher]

oh the Seppy Tank

that thing

ngl kinda want this to get a set

[sonic mirage]

I don't know if they ever made one of the laser fighter tanks

but they did make a normal one

[buoyant cipher]

Don't think so

[buoyant cipher]

That's the TX-130 Saber Class

or should be?

hmm

or not

[sonic mirage]

Thats a fighter tank

ofc it's never gonna be 1:1 at that size

[buoyant cipher]

[sonic mirage]

maybe one day

Same for the turbo tank

as the AT-AT took years to perfect too

I GOT IT

and it was even cheaper cus extra discount

\o/

whoopsies 🙈 @buoyant cipher @tardy shoal

[hollow smelt]

how much money did you spend

[sonic mirage]

undisclosed

but you can figure it out if u smart

[hollow smelt]

well i know it's a lot

[sonic mirage]

Insider discount on the AT-AT tho

that helped ALOT

not like I didn't have the money but saving that amount is nice regardless

[tardy shoal]

this is very epic

[tardy shoal]

oop

[sonic mirage]

Good neeewwwss my atat is in warehouse so i should get it somewhere next week

Yipppppieeeeee

[hollow smelt]

Hmmm

https://youtu.be/ilatGP6jTsI?si=3b5bCrJZH8Jg6W9j

RedBull asked Lego to make the RedBull and VCARB sets 18+

[sonic mirage]

Honestly valid

Redbull doesn't wanna market their stuff to people underage

[red walrus]

Because of their sponsors probably

And yeah they probably don't want to market energy drinks to kids

[small pivot]

now we wait

[hollow smelt]

wise choice

[red walrus]

When do they drop?

I need a redbull Lego technic

[hollow smelt]

next march

[red walrus]

Epic

[hollow smelt]

i'll order the RB20 first

[red walrus]

RB19 pls

[spare crater]

Need a new set of the turbo tank

[sonic mirage]

Facts

Its possible we might get one next year due to episode 3 anniversary

[sonic mirage]

Build in progress

@tardy shoal

[sonic mirage]

Bag 2 just finished

[sonic mirage]

Bag 3 finished first stickers on 1x2 tiles 🥲 always a terrible experience

The penultimate goal is finishing it before I get the AT-AT

[hollow smelt]

i'll be getting this for Christmas because why not

[sonic mirage]

Bag 4 done 😅

[sonic mirage]

Bag number 5 done!

Also useful tip for people struggling with aligning stickers use your brickseparator's flat side lay the sticker on that stick the first bit on and just pull tight so you make a relatively nice straight line!

[tardy shoal]

very nice

[sonic mirage]

Also from the 29th till the 2nd of december you get 75% vip points off the 5 euro/dollar/whatever currency voucher

if it's anything like previous times you can get upto 5x 5 euro off aka 25 euro total with that discount!

@small pivot @arctic notch @hollow smelt ^

[hollow smelt]

hmmmm?

[hollow smelt]

too bad the beach camper set is sold out on lego

[sonic mirage]

Retired or just sold out?

[hollow smelt]

the latter

it's being retired at the end of the year

but i found a site with it for £37.99

[sonic mirage]

What number is it?

[hollow smelt]

31138

[sonic mirage]

Cheapest here in the netherlands (just across the pond) is 39,99 euro

so around 33.42 Pounds

[hollow smelt]

hmmm

[arctic notch]

Yess, Ty!!! I saw that too

Yea I think the coruscant gunship sold out too

Should’ve got, missed on Lego this year was so busy

[sonic mirage]

it should still be available for atleast 1 more year

It has been on my radar too

this is mainly the time to shop for retiring sets imo

[arctic notch]

No tax Lego for Ontario Nov29-Jan15 haha bless

[arctic notch]

Ye

[spare crater]

PayPal/honey has some insane cash back atm

[sonic mirage]

Yea honey is broken for me sadly

[sonic mirage]

Finished bag 8 tomorrow I will probably finish it 🥲

[neat fiber]

now imagine you drop it

[sonic mirage]

How about no 😅

also I think it will mostly be fine the inside is pure technic

and technic can take a beating just don't wanna destroy the bricks

[sonic mirage]

ITS IN!

[sonic mirage]

This awfully precise window

Istg

[safe sierra]

Very precise

[sonic mirage]

The sticker is as long as the piece itself

And a major pain

[sonic mirage]

Finished the a wing

[safe sierra]

Hate stickers so much honestly

Why cant it just be part of the piece itself?

[sonic mirage]

Cus printing costs money

They do it now tho after many complains about it

which is understandable ngl

ESPECIALLY on clear pieces

[safe sierra]

Isnt Lego a Multimillion dollar company? Maybe even billion?

[sonic mirage]

stickers are hell

[safe sierra]

Stickers are hell in general lmao

[sonic mirage]

They have limits to how much they can print tho

[safe sierra]

Ohhh i guess thats fair then lol

[sonic mirage]

As they have an x amount of pieces that can be printed with 1 print as the same time

so it's beneficial if it's a piece that is used alot

It might also be due to the size of the clear piece

and shape

some shapes just hard to print without having alot of misprints which costs money

I did experience my first busted piece tho from a fresh set

[spare crater]

hoping lego starts using pad printing

[restive glacier]

stop dreaming lol

[spare crater]

then you keep getting stickers

[sonic mirage]

I just bought a very expensive lego set for like 14 euro

MSRP 169,99

Clearance 40% off

VIP points

😂

[neat fiber]

Uhm what

FOURTEEN DOOLERS

Thats crazy

[spare crater]

neat you can use points for a straight discount

[cerulean wharf]

So much better this way

[red walrus]

dam thats a better price than I got it for

[arctic notch]

Bloody good deal

[cerulean wharf]

So I should have gotten it huh

[hollow smelt]

get this

as lego is retiring it soon

[arctic notch]

I have 4

[hollow smelt]

oh?

[arctic notch]

But more wouldn’t hurt 😂

[hollow smelt]

why so many

[arctic notch]

I have. 2 for personal collection

And 2 for gifting purpose in future

I think my local dealership also stocked

[red walrus]

100%

[sonic mirage]

Dont forget to redeem your 3x 5 currency off for 75% off

In reward center

Its able to be used for 90 days

[cerulean wharf]

Welp....not going back to Costco oops

[red walrus]

Why not smh

[cerulean wharf]

Busy

[cerulean wharf]

Uhhh Lego people how do we feel about the Concorde set?

[neat fiber]

I think its worth it for the price tbh

Decently sized

Actually resembles the real thing for once

[sonic mirage]

If you got the space for it

Its a very long set

[gentle flume]

i didn't finish mine yet :(

[red walrus]

@gentle flume https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/lego-technic-42206-oracle-red-bull-racing-rb20-f1-car-revealed/

AHHH

[gentle flume]

AAAAA 1:8 AAAAA

Il buying it

I’d do anything for Redbull marchendise

[red walrus]

Same

The circle is complete

[arctic notch]

And the f1 Ferrari preorder heheh

[red walrus]

So much money 😭

[gentle flume]

Wait you also bought the Ferrari 1:8

[red walrus]

No but it's tempting

I haven't bought anything yet

[gentle flume]

I’ll just buy the RB

[red walrus]

RB my beloved

[gentle flume]

I meannnn the SF-24 didn’t work as good

Would’ve been nice to have the 2025 car tho

[red walrus]

My only thing is I'm not a fan of how they did the intake

like i prefer the way they did it on the merc

[gentle flume]

https://tenor.com/view/sauron-lotr-lord-of-the-rings-mordor-the-eye-gif-5619682

[red walrus]

lmao yeah

honestly though, accurate for Max's redbull

bro sees all

[hollow smelt]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I FUCKING WANT IT AHHHHHHH

[red walrus]

Get ready to lose it all 💲💲💲🏦

[sonic mirage]

High chance i wont get my 13.99 euro falcon as its on waiting for stock 🥲

[cerulean wharf]

Okay I did buy the Concorde

Used all my rewards points for it

Barring any new NASA sets, I think my LEGO 2025 purchases will be slim

Because I'm bringing back a box of childhood Lego sets in extremely unknown condition so a) I'm going to have to figure out what I have and find instructions for them and b) no more space

[sonic mirage]

If its dissassembled sets try and find big pieces check inventory list online of sets you know you bave owned on bricklink or lego their own website as they have every manual scanned

[small pivot]

Does anyone know if they are going to do all the teams in 1:8? Trying to decide if I should buy the McLaren now or if they will release a new one

[gentle flume]

I mean they already did merc, fer and RB, there might be a chance but ya never know

[cerulean wharf]

Oh my plan is to get the manuals from Lego app, but, figuring out what some of the sets are will be pain

And I never had any record of what the exact sets were

[sonic mirage]

Bricklink

Look for the bigger pieces and just find those on bricklink

[spare crater]

No more amazing cashbacks from honey, should had gotten the deku tree with $50 cashback on Friday 😂

[cerulean wharf]

I forgot how nice the Saturn V manual is

[arctic notch]

Buy now

Worst case scenario you keep it sealed and just let it go if a new one out

[sonic mirage]

We are getting a first look of the summer wave for Speed Champions (credit: @falconbrickstudios). After a big reveal of a full F1 lineup on March, we will see a second wave of non-F1 super cars. Personally I’m excited to see Bugatti returns to the theme after Chiron back in 2017.

Are you excited about the selections?

I really do not want another technic, but, I will collect all the NASA sets

thats neato, it looks like 500 pieces not 2000 lol

[neat fiber]

The chairs look like they got alotta peices though

I bought this while on the boat

First time I’ve bought Lego in like 9 years

[spare crater]

picked up a few more dnd dragon knights 🙂

[sonic mirage]

even if it hit 10k it's very unlikely to be released due to it being Boeing 💀

[neat fiber]

Why tho

It actually resembles the real thing unlike lego’s attempt to make the 787

[sonic mirage]

Generally there is a budget per set

and Boeing

due to the amount of issues boeing has had recently it's unlikely to be made

And 10177 is nearly 19 years old 🙈

There are alot more pieces now

if anything it will become a set like the concorde

[neat fiber]

Man that sucks

[sonic mirage]

Just how lego works sadly

[spare crater]

concorde set is awesome

[placid bridge]

nice

Yday I got my lego falcon on that I paid 13,99 for and the sanctum santorum which is also retiring \o/
