Lego World 2016, Jaarbeurs Utrecht, The Netherlands.
large88 replied to -zenn's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
I will also be there almost the entire week I'll be showing new mocs, from Star Wars and various Castle themed builds. -
Yes, we are all blown to pieces by its awesomeness

This layout was built by me and HJR Holland. It is based on the leaked set images form the Force Awakens. This location is also seen in the recent trailers. As posted on Flickr.
-
Haha I welcome your analysis I was just explaining the choices that were made during the conception of this layout. Actually I was considering building a hangar in the right scale after I break down the layout later this year
-
Thanks guys! The white and blue X-Wing is not the actual set This was built way before the movie came out, so we did not have all the details yet. Form the available trailers back then the Resistance Fighter looked more white than grey. I had to scale down the hangers... My Lego collection would never allow me to build them minifig scale. In minifig scale they would have been big enough to fit the UCS Falcon.

Thanks! Although now we have seen the movie it has become clear there are no Stormtroopers during these scenes. We planned to display this layout at Dutch Comic Con Utrecht this March. However due to the horrible communication skills of the organizers of this event we were inclined to cancel. There is slight possibility we will display at other events this summer, but nothing official yet

There is really no way to be sure... But with all the new movies coming out there will be less rereleases... So I would consider it unlikely.
-
I wonder if it is just an april fools joke... How much effort did the designer really have to put into this... Basically 90% is just copied from other sets, and the remaining 10% is not exactly rocket science...

Thank you for explaining capitalism rather off topic though -
Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
large88 replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Got my order yesterday. I ordered 2 Finn torsos. 2 Sheldon torsos, 4 Buzz cola cans, 4 1x1 round tiles with can print on top and a bunch of hair pieces. I hope some new stuff will become available soon, as there is not much interesting licensed stuff left at the moment... My order came from Germany. -

So the trick is to buy whatever parts are available now and hope others will become available when those parts are sold out -

large88 replied to Dosenbrot's topic in General LEGO Discussion
As pointed out, this has happened to more people recently... Just call them and ask what the problem is. I have ordered through B&P about 4 times in the last 3 months. And yesterday I got confirmation of shipping for my most recent order. -
Bothans stole the plans for the SECOND Deathstar not the FIRST that will appear in Rogue One. But I have no doubt that Lucasfilm and Disney will come up with some new stuff. Based on the set leaks we will probably be getting more X-Wings, which is not a bad thing it will enable Lego to design "new" sets instead of re releasing the original one...
-
Probably because they need these parts in sets, and know from experience they can never meet the demand for these separate pieces. Besides, their core business is selling sets to kids. They have every right to withhold certain pieces to force us to buy the set... And we will...

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
large88 replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
The odds will not be in your favor, at least until the set is released this spring/summer. -
They reason they closed the site is due to higher demand for replacement parts because of the sales increase during december. I doubt they would have had the time to update inventories and decide what they could or could not make available. We can only hope they start updating it during the coming weeks. This is not their core business so it will not be a priority...

Email from LEGO regarding Replacement Parts
large88 replied to Brickus's topic in General LEGO Discussion
no you were not I suppose your relatively large collection would cause you to be in need of more replacement parts them is generally the case... Maybe a call to customer service could clear things up? Maybe they can clarify why this email was sent to you. -
Email from LEGO regarding Replacement Parts
large88 replied to Brickus's topic in General LEGO Discussion
This would be the only reason to use this service. What do you mean by mostly?... Because if you have requested replacement parts for pieces that were not actually broken or missing the LEGO® Service might have a point... -
Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
large88 replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Right now there is no way to know for sure... But its possible they will only be available as replacement parts and not as order parts in B&P... Just wait and see... -
The end of januari, as stated on the website. There is no specific date available...
-
We established that this is a strong possibility, we don't know for sure...

fake chinese sets and my 2 cents as a resident of China.
large88 replied to NagaSadow's topic in Community
Interesting to get a point of view from China! I suppose the new factory is going to help you out a bit where availability of actual Lego products is concerned. Can you tell us where fake sets are sold in China? Do regular toy stores sell them? A bit off topic, what can you say about the Afol community in China? I know Hong Kong has a strong community, but what about the rest of the country? -
Because of this: So they do not necessarily need to be based on the books. My guess is the sets are based on something new that takes some characters that also appear in the books.
-
Indeed, I would consider creating some Akiva based mocs. The old droid factory, Temmin's shop etc...
-
I am too, but its quite possible the characters will be part of some "Yoda Chronicles/Droid Tales" type of adventure Lego tv series.
