    [ENTRY] 6278/6292 Enchanted Island Remake

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Danny_Boy4's topic in Pirate MOCs

    It has been a lot of fun viewing this contest and all the submissions, but this one in particular is incredibly jaw-dropping for me. I would purchase this so quickly if it were ever a thing... Amazing job with the colors and shaping, and the re-designs for the figures -- INCREDIBLE. You can tell love and soul was put into this remake and it immediately kicks my nostalgia into high gear. Well done!

    [MOC] Classic Space Crawler - Mobile Lab Redux

    The Neighborhood Merchant posted a topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    The Classic Space Mobile Lab 6901-1 set from 1980 has always been among my favorite classic space sets, so I had to do it justice and try reviving it with some flair. I only have the digital build for now, but I'll finish it in bricks one of these days! The crawler has a full interior and detachable lab area, which I will showcase in brick form once it's finished (just had to design it using old gray, ha!)

    [MOC] Classic Space Crawler - Mobile Lab Redux

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to The Neighborhood Merchant's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Thanks @Brickshipyard! It was a lot of fun working with those wheels. Glad you like it! Now the true challenge will be finding that the old trans-green dome in a decent condition... Forgot to comment on your post, but I love your Multi Purpose Striker by the way. What a superb build that stays true to the original space police design

    [MOC] Classic Space Crawler - Mobile Lab Redux

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to The Neighborhood Merchant's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    So glad to hear you like it @JulianH! Fingers crossed I can finish it in bricks. Yeah, I am totally conflicted with the additional red accents. Didn't look crowded enough without it, but too much with. Will have to see what the difference is in-person when I start building. Thanks for the input!

    [MOC] Classic Space Crawler - Mobile Lab Redux

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to The Neighborhood Merchant's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    @Professor Thaum Thank you, Thaum! The miniature version of the mobile lab was fun to build. Looking forward to sharing more photos to you of the build once I'm able to finish it in brick. @Umbra-Manis Ha, I'd hope so, although I think the little one may have difficulty in the dunes... Appreciate the kind words!

    [CSE] Spyrius Robot Retreiver

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to The Librarian's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Wow wow wow, I absolutely love the build. Makes a perfect transport for the old Spyrius robots. Instant Centurion nostalgia too. This is hands down one of my favorite Spyrius MOCs builds out there. I like the way you did the minifigs too. Super sleek and great use of those old windscreen pieces! Would love to see if you made a transporter for the RoboForce series now

    [MOC] Assassin's Creed - Venice 1486

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Barthezz Brick's topic in Pirate MOCs

    Woah, I'm absolutely speechless. I don't think I've ever seen an Assassin's Creed MOC this big. You did an amazing job capturing so much life in your build. And the building techniques -- I can't even. Those sail and flag techniques for the ships are sweet. Well done, this is gorgeous! Props too for finding a location for a proper backdrop for this huge build. Great photography too

    [MOC] Armada-Chima

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to MR IOUS's topic in Pirate MOCs

    These are amazing combos. Nice work, especially with the older castle torsos. Love them all!

    Deep Freeze Scavenger

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Elephant Knight's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Oh my, this is BEAUTIFUL! As someone who loves the Ice Planet sets, I can say without a doubt this is one of my favorite remakes. The curvature is excellent here, your defender remake looks so smooth and has a sleek redesign. And you were able to keep the original play features as well, nice job. Love the new part usage and stand too. Wow, what a beauty!

    [MOC] Excellent Shot, Sir

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to evancelt's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    Wow, what a cute little scene! I think it's very neat that you are expanding to themes outside pirates as well. You are a small diorama expert, Evan! Your minifigures are always well-designed, but I really like these ones in particular.

    [MOC] Mono Jet 2.0

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Oky's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Wooow! That is a spectacular remake. I love how you kept the center wheel functional. The engine really steals the show, what an excellent build!

    [MOC] The Amphibious Multipla - Mecha

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Sérgio's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    This is the kind of love the Multipla needs. Absolutely genius and well-executed design. I enjoy looking at this too much.

    [MOC] "Arrrrr!!! The rum is gone!!!"

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to MajklSpajkl's topic in Pirate MOCs

    I love the building styles you incorporated for that island! The newer and older palm tree connectors/leaves look very good together and the water base looks slick. I definitely will be "borrowing" some of these ideas from you.

    How do you ship large Lego flattened boxes?

    The Neighborhood Merchant posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion

    Hi everyone! I was wondering how you guys go about shipping large flattened lego boxes. I just got a bunch of modular ones and others and I'm just wondering how to ship one or so just in-case I ever need to sell one on bricklink or ship one to a friend. Hope I posted this to the right forum.

    [MOC] Eddie's Barge Service - A Fallout 4 Inspired MOC

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to somelegothings_'s topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Love it! I've also always had a love for Libertalia (it's a really fun X6-88 mission too!) Really like the way you designed the Broadsider and ghouls too (will have to steal that ). Good luck to Eddie in his search for that devious rad whale.

    [MOC] Fort "de Monchy"

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to the Inventor's topic in Pirate MOCs

    Absolutely gorgeous! Very stunning rockwork and a powerful-looking fort. Love every aspect of it.

    [OL - FB] Fishing on the Bayou

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to KotZ's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas

    Nice job on the landscaping, you made a beautiful atmosphere. It would be very neat to see a larger build with this bayou theme!

    [MOC] Visit the Queen by moonlight

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to the Inventor's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    Love the use of the trans-clear angled bar to create that juggling effect. That is very innovative! Minifigures look wonderful too, and huge props for using a lot of traditional Lego lighting. Your build has so much life!

    Yet another 918/924/928 remake, plus a 6894 and a 6931

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to icm's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Woah! These are some of the best remakes I've seen yet that try to stay close to the original scale. I especially like your 928 and 6931 remakes. The base alongside 928 is very well made, I love the look of it. As someone who values play-ability and modular features, I really enjoy the fact that you incorporated all the original features of the sets and then some. Definitely some of my favorite MOCs I've seen this year, very cool!
  22. The Neighborhood Merchant
    WOW! Absolutely gorgeous scenery. I especially love the water and rockwork. Amazing work, NOD!

    [MOC] Theo's Trabuchet fishing hut

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to Norton74's topic in LEGO Historic Themes

    Wow, looks great! Love the way you went about making the dock. So many great techniques throughout the build.

    [MOC] [Classic Space] X-942 Launch Hangar

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to DelQuinn's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi

    Well done! I love the modern take on the hangar, yet you still did a great job keeping the original classic space look. The hangar looks very sleek. Is it modular by any chance? Based on the photos, it looks like you plan to expand it in the future. If so, I look forward to seeing what else you do to enlarge it. Hope you make it in brick someday. Looks great!

    [MOC] The Conquered Outpost

    The Neighborhood Merchant replied to cjtonic's topic in Pirate MOCs

    I really like the look of your build. It definitely looks like a modern version of the smaller size pirate sets Lego used to make. I especially love the open cave. Very cool!
