I'm in for Marvin, Speedy, Daffy, Bugs, and Taz. I used Taz pillow cases my Aunt made for me for my birthday one until I went to college. Maybe through college.

That road runner doesn't work on such a level that just looking at it makes me laugh.

PKMN Trainer Red posted:I have a Hispanic friend who is VERY passionate defender of Speedy Gonzalez. Because he's usually the hero of his cartoons and doesn't lean heavily into ugly stereotypes (just cliche ones), I was told he has a free pass to keep existing. I think that because he's the most popular Mexican character in popular media, he's generally forgiven for being occasionally clunky. Exactly. It was another thing white people were complaining about but then hispanics came out to say they love him. Road Runner is weird, could have used some custom skinny legs or something.

I finished the Hubble tonight. It is a really solid build and I’m looking forward to starting the shuttle tomorrow.

I just moved my Saturn 5 into the new detolf and noticed it has yellowed like crazy  To be fair it's not noticeable unless you stand close but the different shades of yellow really trigger my OCD reflex because it's not uniform white anymore.

Does it get any sunlight on it? Because mine is still perfectly white.

Thanks, good to know. I'm also curious about yellowing. How much sunlight is enough to cause discoloration? Is it only direct light? Or is being by a window enough? Would placing tint on the window be enough?

Direct sunlight will yellow white bricks in a few years. Reflected light probably has some effect but it will take ten years to notice it. There are films you can put on windows that block nearly all UV but that feels like overkill to me.

deoju posted:Thanks, good to know. It's the UV part of the sunlight spectrum that does most of the damage. That needs to be blocked or absorbed. I'm not sure how much is left in indirect sunlight. Placing a tint will depend on how much it filters in the UV spectrum.

Placing a tint will depend on how much it filters in the UV spectrum. OperaMouse is correct. UV light is the root cause and will greatly speeds up the yellowing. You can slow it down best by applying some filter on your windows.

True story I bought the UCS X-Wing from a friend with some degree of light yellowing right around the time I got back into Lego and thought "off white" was an actual color Lego produced and once made a remark itt that I wish they made more sets in that color  Even that one is barely noticeable but luckily the rest of my collection has been kept in a dungeon so it all looks pretty pristine.

Can you retrobrite lego? Is it only white that has issues?

oxyclean and a little hydrogen peroxide: https://lego.jtooker.com/whitening/ Not sure if it happens to all colors, I can't tell any difference. Perhaps the pigments are not UV sensitive.

Hopper posted:I just moved my Saturn 5 into the new detolf and noticed it has yellowed like crazy I also had to move mine and I could swear it was whiter before. It has never been exposed to sunlight. I'll compare with the shuttle once it arrives. White tiles should all look the same between modern sets, right?

Mine isn't exposed to direct sunlight, the whites match white bricks from newer sets near it. They aren't pure white, but I don't know if they ever were.

I don't see why, this has been a quirk of white lego bricks for 40 years. Maybe longer but I don't have anything older than that.

Am I just imagining things or were people talking about a large scale delorean? I could have sworn Lego was making one but looking around online it seems like the thread might have just been discussing a MOC or something.

My guess is they're saving it in case it turns into a series and they need something unique to get the collector crowd into a tizzy.

I’ve got a thing for birches though. Some cool interior details too! I’ve since bought the corner garage, assembly square and blew 100 bucks over retail on the diner. Slippery slope beware.

I sorta justified that with getting €100 off the Assembly Square through VIP points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I haven’t seen the Diner for anything below 200 yet and other out of print sets are already around 500 ish bucks so seeing as the Diner was one I really wanted I just bit the bullet.
