The model seems a little crude...maybe if you apologized for the crudity of the model... lol Just kidding! Wow! That's amazing work! I'm in awe. So so very cool!

Not quite sure how to ask, so here we go: Way back, LEGO did a few custom Brickheadz for Store Openings. Mostly in China, but two in Europe, as well. They were Shimao, Beijing, Hangzhou, Amsterdam, Cologne. They also did one called "Nonnie" for the LEGO Inside Tour 2017. Anyone willing to give these a try? The five Store Openings ones were printed onto a 1x2x2 brick, while the Nonnie one was printed on a 2x4 brick. Some photos to follow, and thanks in advance! Shimao: Beijing: Hangzhou: Amsterdam: Cologne: Nonnie:

My local Costco already has a pallet full of the Marvel and Star Wars Advents for sale. -
DC Superheroes 2021 - Rumors & Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Just guessing, but maybe it's pretty similar to the SDCC Exclusive? I liked that Batmobile, and it was the 66 Batmobile, and I remember it was different from the one with the 66 Batcave. The Batcave is still in my "to build" pile, but I did Bricklink the SDCC Exclusive and liked it enough. -
Stunning!

LEGO Ideas Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to The Real Indiana Jones's topic in General LEGO Discussion
#DataIsBeautiful Love the graph. I love stats and love Ideas, and love stats about Ideas. So big thank you from me. I wonder - what if you took out the two outliers (Minecraft and Maze)? What do those averages look like? -

Alpinemaps replied to thenightman89's topic in LEGO Licensed
My 12 year old daughter, who just finished binging this series for the first time last week, said she *loves* it. So, it's definitely a hit! (I've never seen the series, but I have to agree with her, it looks great) -
Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Alpinemaps replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
I was thinking the same thing. They probably dispatch a bunch of stuff to the US office in CT weekly. And then they mail it out from there as domestic mail. I'd be willing to be it's less expensive to ship one big create of things over, then a lot of small parcels from Europe. Might also explain why some people seemingly get their orders a lot quicker than others - maybe the quicker orders happen to be one of the last fulfilled and put into a shipment, which would make it one of the first orders out when it hits stateside. -
LEGO BrickHeadz 2020 - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to Digger of Bricks's topic in LEGO Licensed
That was part of the deal when LEGO signed a 5-year contract with Universal to develop a new LEGO Cinematic Universe. That news came out back in April (about the movie deal). I had heard that there was going to be Universal Monsters, but we didn't know in what form that would be (until now). -

Haven't spent a whole lot of hours at the LEGO booth every year for the past several years, I can confirm that you are correct. -
Wow! Looks great! I haven't come across your post previous to this. Just outstanding.

DC Superheroes 2020 - Rumors & Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
The Bespin Duel set is a $40 set that will be 295 pieces and 18+. You're point is valid, but now we have a small Star Wars set, who knows? -

DC Collectable Minifigure Dream Series 2 (voting now open)
Alpinemaps replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Can I just get a regular Guy Gardner minifig before we got to the Red Lantern version? Please? :) -
That's definitely an interesting read. I'm a bit disappointed that LEGO would obtain this in such a way.

Does (not) enjoying a movie/series influence your purchase decisions?
Alpinemaps replied to Flieger's topic in LEGO Star Wars
100% this. Really have no interested in TLJ or TROS sets. But Mandalorian sets - I didn't care about the AT-ST set before the show came out, but now I really want that set. And the additional battle pack they're putting out. I'm hoping for a couple more sets, as I'd love to see the Razor Crest, along with a couple of other "things/people" that have shown up in the series. I have spoken. -
Looks great! I'm also trying to build a Pirate Pier coaster. I was trying to work out the lift hill mechanics, when a cat tree fell down, and busted the entire set. Oops. Guess I need to control the cats a little better around this place. So, it's put aside for now, but I like the ideas you have.

BrickHeadz 2019 - Rumours, Speculation and Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Honestly, give me Brickheadz all day long. I avoided PPG and AT - not interested in those properties. But I'll take them in BHz form any day! -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
Alpinemaps replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I get that. But not everyone CMF will appeal to everyone. The same feeling you have about the DC set, I had for both Simpsons and Harry Potter sets. Not my cup of tea, but oh well. Just saves me some money until the next set appears. If you think about it tho, there's been two other DC series, with The LEGO Batman CMF Series 1 and Series 2, so it's not like this is a first. Just not tied to a LEGO movie property this time. -

Don't forget, they also appeared in the Ewok movies. ;) -
DC Superheroes 2019 - Rumours, Speculation & Discussion
Alpinemaps replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
When I think nemesis, I don't necessarily think enemy, but annoyance. I'm probably off, or aren't reading the clues right, but my mind wanders to Bat-Mite. Unfortunately, BM is solidly in the Silver Age (1959). But man, I'd love to have a Bat-Mite minifig. -

Alpinemaps replied to Anonknee Muss's topic in LEGO Licensed
Shut up and take my money. Yes to all of those. -
WtP and 7D are for the next review, so luckily, those haven't been pushed aside (yet). When I was showing my wife the design this morning, I described it the same way - GBHQ. Congrats to the creator. It's not in my wheelhouse for LEGO purchases, but it's a great achievement nonetheless.

Why people want perfect box? for investment? or OCD?
Alpinemaps replied to ks6349's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm a dirty reseller, and I *hate* having to deal with perfect boxes. I find it's easier to resell with no box. Things ship cheaper, and I know the person getting it won't complain about the slightest ding on the box. I don't mind losing a few dollars for not having a box (or a perfect box), because it's just easier. I'd rather sell to someone like @LucyCol because I know they will appreciate the "deal" I offer for cheaper shipping and a cheaper overall price. -
I'l admin I've never heard the term "clamping" and had to look that up. And then I discovered that exactly how my wife likes to camp!
