I finally found a cheapish 8145 on ebay, which was the last out of production technic set I really wanted. Today is a good day.

So now that I have disposable income I'm buying some good lego sets, I'm trying to get the Lunar Limo from a few years ago, just bought the Back to the Future Delorean and thinking of getting the Haunted House or the Volkswagen at some point as well but are there any other cool builds that I might have missed? Preferably not quite as expensive as those latter two either. Stuff like the UFO tripod walker or Lex Luthor power armour set.

Hmm.. a set with some depth/complexity, but not too expensive? - I really dug the green Lego Street Speeder, #6743. Note that the wheels don't actually turn like shown in the display. - There are two Lego Landspeeders, and while I only have the first one (7110), the remake (8092) looks really solid, too. - It just looks bizarre and fun as poo poo: SPACE SKULLS (10192).

The house does look better than I expected, but the car and the figures are pretty awful. Homer is okay I guess, but the rest are dire. And it's not that The Simpsons don't work well in 3D because plenty of figures have been made of them which look good.

Big Mean Jerk posted:That looks really bad/fake. It's not fake, it's from the same person who leaked the Movie pirate ship, but it does look bad. Now that I'm comparing it with pictures of the house from the cartoon it's all over the loving place. The proportions are wrong, there's no room over the garage on the Lego model, the plants out front look rubbish when they have the perfect pieces for them in scale and shape, the colors are off; it's basically just not very good. All of that plus the piece count and the fact its a license means it's going to end up being pretty pricey so I'll definitely pass.

Terrible. Matt Groening's style never looks good in full 3d. It doesn't even look good in a 2D head-on portrait, only like from various side angles.

Just finished the Palace Cinema. The inside is pretty sparse, but what do you want, it's a cinema. It's chairs and a screen, not much you can do with that. The outside is amazing though, the sign is awesome (to see and to build), and all the lights and poo poo make it really stand out. The roof is great too. Having built it after Orthanc, and what with them standing right next to each other for the moment (where the gently caress am I going to put them? ugh), made me realize even more that I'm really not a fan of monochrome builds, like Orthanc. It's a big reason why I'm not overly fond of the Star Wars stuff either, there's way too much gray in there. It's made me much more hesitant to buy the Sidney Opera House. I like the design of the building and I'm a fan of buildings anyway, but color-wise it's pretty boring. Brown for the walls, white for the roofs. And then there's the space issue again... uXs fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Jan 5, 2014 |

I bought my first Movie sets today, Metalbeard and the chomping garbage truck. I've only built the Metalbeard set so far, the Micromanager (I think that's what they're called) is a pretty boring build, being just a black cube with legs, but Metalbeard is so insane it more than makes up for. This is going to be such an expensive year, especially if I can't resist my urge to buy two of all the 2-in-1 sets to display both models. I'm also going to need at least two spares of that amazing Classic spaceship for parts. I just hope we get some more yellow canopy styles in other sets to go with all that wonderful grey and blue, lack of colored canopies is my biggest complaint about modern Lego.

Any idea where this piece is from? (Probably mid 80s to early 90s)  Not sure if it's Technic or not - has the lego logo inside of the stud holes though. I think this piece was originally a part of my brother's lego collection before I ended up with it when I was growing up. He also had this set - I wish I had still had all the pieces   (Still have the white dog copper, the doors, the bike and the phone base. The white pouch piece at the back of the bike I have but in two pieces)

That looks really cramped, doesn't look fun to build, and doesn't look fun to display. Also it'll cost $300. And it's 15 years late

People on the Eurobricks forum are practically crying with joy over that Lego Simpsons House. One poster said it was the best Lego set EVER produced. Now I'm glad some people like it but really? It doesn't even look like the house that much if you compare it to images from the cartoon. The inside is cramped and ugly looking, the figures are hideous. I don't even think the brand suits Lego. Not because of the subject matter or anything but because it's past its relevance and doesn't really have any interesting builds. It feels more like a brand that Megablocks would pick up.
