Lego Star Wars about to break

Overpriced and slacked

Lost in Andor's wake

With only one way to go back

Tie Avengers Assemble

Always we will build as one, til the tie avenger's done

with lego on the run, Tie Avenger will overcome

Assembled it is strong, Tie avenger is the one

Assembled it is strong, Tie avenger is the one

(To the fight as one theme from The Avengers: Earth's mightiest heroes

Awesome. And just like the show. Here’s a live action reboot which isn’t quite as peak.

Day #ARC170.

My uncle who works at Lego says we're getting a UCS Tie Avenger next year and it comes with all the main characters from Andor, and also those arguing rebels from the beginning of season 2 that no one really liked.

 

 

Can we please get May, March and June set names and fig lists already? It was around 2 weeks ago last year when we found out about Plo Koon’s MF, Night trooper BP and U-Wing.

A total of… 11 TIE Avenger Requests late, but wanted to say I completely agree. The blue tint of TIEs has always been a unique quirk I’ve appreciated, but alas, thanks to Kenner, many see the TIE as boring, dull grey. Interesting to note—if I recall correctly from my last viewing of the OT on cable—the TIE Fighters, Advanced, and Bomber had the bluish tint, but in RotJ the Interceptors and even regular TIEs too had become plain grey. Still, if it were up to me, all LEGO TIEs would’ve been blue, then sand blue, and that would’ve been that.

Furthermore, I’ve recently come to realize that the SSD Executor also has a bluish tinge in TESB (especially compared to the Star Destroyers flanking it in several shots). So… sand blue Executor when?

I believe you have it switched, I remember them being gray in ANH and blueish in ROTJ and ESB, I will have to double check my Blu Rays though. Sand blue Executor would be pretty cool.

Ha, as far as your or our TIE Avenger quest is concerned, that's gotta be among the most compatible memes out there. Doesn't make it any less amusing, though. And come to think of it, Cad Bane could look mighty fine with an eyepatch on. 

Aaah, Victorrry! 

I second this. Here's hoping we get something substantial in the next few weeks. Although i would settle for less, like minifig leaks for the January wave. I really just wanna see the Cad's out of the bag.

Just finished the Death Star and boy howdy is it massive!! Measuring out the dimensions to figure out display options and then actually seeing the thing weeks later really aren‘t the same

Now I need to figure out how to get it to its designated spot  It‘s a sturdy set, but I kinda dread the transport…

Beautiful. Just now noticed the purple lightsaber; I was about to ask about her.

I totally get why I’m Thor—I’m not always available, but when I come I can bring the down the hammer in discussions, and yea, I doth speak in antiquated dialect many a time. Additionally, your and @BrickBob Studpants’s dynamic is similar to Cap and Tony’s. However, the fact that a Swed got chosen as Captain America over me has thrown my entire identity into question.

Yay! I can do simple math!
I like the idea of counting time not in days or hours but in TIE Avenger requests, a constant more anticipated than the setting of the twin suns.

Could be. My evidence to back my claim (besides my memory, a naturally objective source) was a Hotwheels Starships TIE Advanced that was very much blue. Of course, that’d be arguing the accuracy of toys with… well, toys.

I had a similar experience with the Bugle—but obviously not to the level of scale you’re facing! Good luck!

My one major criticism of the $1k DS is that it completely avoids Technic—which most builders love, but due to that I fear the model will shatter completely in the event of a fall. The UCS Falcon at least will retain it’s abstract shape if it trips over.
I know you said it’s sturdy, though. I’m only curious about how sturdy; objectively, on its own merits.

I intend on making an Age of Smart Brick sequel in the future. So do let me know who I should add. (Vision, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch…)

 

Ahsoka S2 filming has wrapped. So we could start seeing marketing and promo images within the next few months.

Good luck with your Death Star plans. Feel like you are gonna need it. Just don't hang it up on a wall as it will fall apart over time. But i bet you already knew that.

By that logic, maybe you shouldn't have chosen me as the director of this whole thing. 

But yeah, i get it... There are only so many spots to assign ourselves to. And it's not like there was any less impressive, kinda random pedestrian available to put me on there. 

Okay, on behalf of myself, i order one sidekick role to make the cut!

Hello! New member here. I have a Lego storage solution to offer for free if you are in London!

 

I have 2 Ikea Alex Drawers units to sort my collection and have recently begun 3D-printing inserts using Tiago's design, which means I no longer need all my previous inserts for the 2 units. I would love to give these away to anyone who needs it. It's a great immediate solution for anyone trying to switch their collection to the Alex drawers with absolutely no space wasted at all. The inserts are all very durable and sturdy and took absolutely ages for me to make over many, many months and I can't bear to just throw them away.

 

Hopefully one of you would like to take these for yourselves or for anyone you know that is getting into the Alex drawers to house their collection. Thanks!

It's treason, then. We better meet up and find some tea.

This is really interesting to me, you'd think anything even remotely close to this size would be using technic. This thing would shatter like glass- and the shape lends itself to doing so just as well. The Falcon has a low center of gravity and large footprint, whereas this thing has a much higher center of gravity and smaller footprint. The shape of the falcon makes it harder to nudge off a table and impossible to tip over- this thing will topple if your elbow bumps it from the wrong side. It limits display options.

I don't know about Age of Smart Brick (aside from ultron being a smart brick), but if you're adding members to the roster, I wouldn't mind being made to rise and live again as the Khonshu's fiist of vengance Mara's Hand of Judgement, mando knight. That said, especially since you've treasonously given Steve's moniker to a european, it's my patriotic duty to weld that shield together in my garage, save that busload of noncombatants from the "not-terrorists", and join the New (tie) Avengers.

Kinda crazy I‘m one of the few left from the early days  It‘s even longer if you count lurking since I only joined 2 years or so after first discovering EB!

If someone tries to hang it, that‘s on them  Once you build it, it becomes very obvious it cannot be displayed like that. There is no Technic frame or skeleton and it‘s instead built in separate sections you stack on top of one another

The transport was an immediate success! But the UCS Gunship‘s stand and bottom broke so that took a while to fix. Eurghhhh

Yeah, it's not like i forgot about the theme's known schedule or anything. It's just my brain keep pushing away the fact of how late Lego Star Wars is always to the party. You would think you kinda get used to that, but i guess not. It's always somewhat hilarious when first official March wave images of other licensed themes are popping up, while Star Wars fans are still waiting for official January pictures. But whatever, in times of news drought, besides Cad Bane, i don't wanna come across extra picky. Looking forward to any leaks right now.

Yep, this is how it's supposed to be. Yet people holding themselves accountable for their own actions is an increasingly rare sight to see... nowadays. However, i don't think there will be a whole lot of human beings seriously considering that, let alone practically trying it. Especially, like you said, after building that monstrosity. 

Another relatively happy landing. You may celebrate when ready.

I'm actually really curious how long the average person lurks before making an account. I probably waited longer than most, I don't remember exactly how long it was but I remember seeing a leaked set list for the Ninjago ghost wave so I must have been checking it out since at least like 2014?

Yeah that's insane, I would've assumed it had a whole technic skeleton. I guess they just assumed that if you're spending a grand on the thing you're going to be treating it more carefully than you're firstborn, but it's still wild.

I was also a long-time lurker. I was first brought in due to @WhiteFang's CMF reviews - the detailed photos and scenes with other minifigures did wonders for my imaginations, and knowing the rarities and suggestions of what to feel for were very helpful for a poor middle schooler who might only be able to get one or two at a time if I got lucky and was with my parents when out shopping. I think Series 10 was the first one I remember reading when it was new, and that was published in 2013! I also remember following the leaks of Lego Dimensions through Eurobricks a few years later - good times.

I didn't make my account until 2023 - specifically, it was to discuss the recently leaked Disney 100 castle. I had a few thoughts I wanted to share about it and I didn't see any other places that were discussing it, so I made an account to finally start talking about a few things. I suppose that's what finally got me to make an account - having something that I thought I could contribute that other people might not have thought about or noticed.

Since I was only a spectator, my observations are only anecdotal, but Eurobricks used to have a lot more active and new users. There's potentially a few reasons why - closer Lego ambassador ties (some members getting review sets and posting them here), less sites being open to discussions on specific topics (other older sites like Brickset are more blogs than forums), etc. It was also a good place to ask questions, and leaks could be discussed more freely (there's still leaked photos up if you dig into some of the older threads). Nowadays, a lot of the Lego discussions have been a bit "Walmart-ified" into bigger sites. Why visit smaller forums when you can get all of your Lego news from, say, Reddit, and also get news for the other hobbies you're in to all at the same place? That's partly a generational things of convenience, and partly due to shorter attention spans from a lot of people - Eurobricks can discuss a topic for weeks on end and still have things to say about it, while most other social media posts rely on a "flash in the pan" style of news, not to be discussed again after 48 hours. And as far as questions go - why make an account, post a question, and wait for a possible response from a human, when you can just do a quick Google search and get an answer in seconds? Lego broadly also became a lot more vigilant about images of leaks, which could have turned people to other sources for info. Again, though, that's mostly just based on trends I've seen as an outsider - the reality could be completely different!

I started reading Eurobricks forums in 2005 and I didn't make an account until 2016 or 2017!

I'm a bit younger, born in 2004 so I never really used forums much until last year. I just lurked occasionally on Eurobricks since the mid 2010s but I mostly used Instagram, Reddit, and YouTube, now I much prefer Eurobricks for Lego discussion as it's more civilized and no slop content.

I discovered Eurobricks around when the Tantive IV hallway was leaked to have Fives. And I quickly wanted to join the fray. So 3 months of lurking later, when summer 2024 news released with that ever so promising Death Star play-set, I joined the forum.

Looking at the posts, I appear to have had a relatively short lurking period compared to others.

Agreed. The civilised discussion is far superior to echo chambers like Reddit and YouTube. It’s nice hearing different preferences instead of “MoRE ClOnE WaRS” and “DoES LegO HaTE tHeIR FaNs?” karma farming and engagement baiting over and over again. (Might be ironic coming from the Tie Avenger guy)

Opinions feel a lot more genuine here. And that’s why I love this place.

Unless our enemies are a plane, or a bomb, or some ice, or your brainwashed buddy, or Spider-Man, or Tony Stark, or a version of yourself, or just plain Thanos… then they don’t necessarily have to yield.

Exactly. This feels like a $200ish Art set blown up to a larger-than-should-be scale. I’d never accuse designers of laziness—the interior of the $1k DS looks immaculate, truly—but I will suggest a lack of thought toward the stability. Sure, a Technic-heavy core like the Falcon’s would definitely compromise aesthetics, yet to hear that it contains no Technic is mindblowing—not in the best way, mind you.

Indeed, ‘tis a welcome Thanksgiving tradition—hide away from the extended family, scour the web for the leaks, yell into the computer how awfully inaccurate the toy is, then return for second helpings of pumpkin pie.
Set descriptions seem to precede the set leaks by a mere day nowadays. I’m hopeful for May news more than anything.

That did cross my mind, but the same treatment likely extends to the Falcon too, and yet that has a robust Technic structure. (One which has already survived a major hit…) If it were up to me, I would’ve integrated Technic beams with the brick building. At the very least, such a system would give the owner Peace of Mind… (cue Boston.)

I agree, I feel like the drop-off has been less steep on forums than it has compared to blogs, say. And after all, many social media sites have come and gone over the years. EB is still going pretty strong, and it's great it still attracts new users!

I will say from personal experience too, and it was alluded to further up: the closer your ties are to TLG, the less acceptable it generally is to discuss leaks in public forums these days. Of course that's not the only thing discussed on EB but it's a big discussion driver.

I was thinking that whenever @CloneCommando99 does get around to making an Age of Ultron poster, Ultron should be a 4+ TIE Avenger (‘I was supposed to be beautiful’) whilst Vision would be a regular TIE Avenger (or perhaps a UCS TIE Avenger? Not quite what Tony, I mean CC99 wanted but still better than Ultron).

Also, hear hear on the discussions around Eurobricks as a platform. I think the smaller pool of users and the more nuanced discussions on this forum helps make it feel like a real community. All takes are welcome here and I always enjoy reading everyone’s opinions because they all bring something valuable to the table. The lack of bad faith arguments in general is a positive also.

I think there are good reasons why EB (and forums in general) have prevailed  I see traffic being lower compared to social media as a good thing since you actually get to know individual users ^^ We know each other’s stances on subthemes, sets, and trends and even have in-jokes! It feels so much more personal than social media.

And we can have actual discussions rather than flamewars and other such nonsense

Not sure how long I'd been lurking either but certainly a long time- I remember reading reviews of sets in like 2012ish. 

Made my account in 2020 to talk about the 501st pack (specifically to point out an inaccuracy that other people hadn't mentioned- I guess some things never change lol)

Also coincidentally this is my 501st post

In my case, I was lurking around since at least 2020. While I'm only posting on Lego Star Wars forums so far, the Eurobricks experience that stuck with me most actually came from Harry Potter. I fondly remember how excited I was about the upcoming 2020 summer wave and everyone's reaction back then. Depending on leaks and personal mood, I would bounce between the big SW and HP discussion threads every couple of months or so... sometimes catching up to 50s of pages. There I was already getting to know the usual suspects that I now have a really good time interacting directly with. I'm glad that I finally decided to take the plunge, it's my first long-term attempt at an english board, and here's hoping things are continue to stay for a long time to come.

Opinions feel a lot more genuine here. And that’s why I love this place.

Yes. Nothing in the whole world can top that good old forum experience. In times of social media craze, it may have limited reach, but that absolutely works in its favor. Rather than a place where numerous toxic people express opinions like they're just wanting to take out the trash or blatantly obvious trying to capitalize on cheap clickbait content, here you can have much more genuine, nuanced discussions. In several ways, you are getting to know the people behind the screen. You are starting to feel familiar with their own standpoints. You learn which persons you can screw around with... and which you don't. Engaging in a conversation just feels much more natural and personal... Rather than just a random drive-by poster getting overshadowed by a faceless crowd, you are involved in the topics at hand like... you know, an actual community! Less is definitely more in this regard. 

And no, it's not ironic coming from you. Not in the slightest. I can recognize and appreciate a good noble cause, not to say entertaining running gag, when i see one.
