Animal Crossing 2024 - Rumors & Discussion
Poco Lypso replied to TheBrickPal's topic in LEGO Licensed
So, when I first saw the sets and the prices and the small number of minifigs, it was an instant pass. There is no way I am gonna buy these. Yesterday someone posted on FB the polybags are on sale. Thought why not buy a polybag for cheap, right. Today I ordered all 5 sets at 20% discount. Didn't wanna wait any longer. Lmao! Dang I like those minifigs. Hope this theme will last for many years. It's like fabuland 2.0 -

Pretty awesome, finally a series I can buy blindly and capitalize on the surprise effect. -
Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread
Poco Lypso replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Not too bad imo. Think it will fit nicely with the lion knights castle. My gripes are; minifigs could be more plentiful and interesting. The tax collector is awesome, the wolf pack guy could better. Building techniques could be more I iteresting and detailed. The roofs aren't that great imo. The houses could also be better. Overall not bad but not great either. Imo.they should have made a more sophisticated series of different sets, like the modulars but with a smaller scale in mind -
Idk man, is the pics or does the roof seem a bit off compared to the source material?

How much weight can be attached to a large limb element?
Poco Lypso posted a topic in General LEGO Discussion
Was wondering, the larger limb element starts bending a bit when elements are attached to it. Is there a guideline on how much is too much? -
How much weight can be attached to a large limb element?
Poco Lypso replied to Poco Lypso's topic in General LEGO Discussion
That's hard to pin down exactly. I wanted more foliage pieces and realized the limb element will start bending slightly at some point. Ig that's normal but I would imagine at some point it might break if left in that position for an extended period of time -
Questions for fans of the Castle and Lord of the Rings themes
Poco Lypso replied to Something_Awesome's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
NGL - space is the biggest issue for me, followed by money. I haven't got much space to display sets and I don't even have that many. Lion knights castle was the last set I got and that was after the blacksmith which was after the airjitsu temple lol. As for the lotr rivendell set, I didn't buy it bc space and money, but most of all bc I don't have anything lotr related in my collection. Most of my Lego space is covered by lidl organizers, pab cups and other containers. It's gotten out of hand. I need a designated room, lmao. My wishlist atm: market village, el dorado and the viking village. Will see... -
Nice,!

I think it's mostly star wars and Ninjago which kids are into, also friends and city. U got lots of media tie-ins such as movies, shows, video games which further enhance the popularity of those themes. The Mario theme must be popular too, otherwise they wouldn't have it run for so long - gimme Zelda, lol. At least Lego realized there is an afol market and has given us some more sophisticated sets. Tbh medieval castles were prolly more colorful than we imagine. Still tho, a pink castle would be a problem for me, bc of the reusability of parts, haha
-
Lego isnt about (medieval) war. Torn off legs are reserved for the pirates themes. 🤔 Thankfully we can create our own mocs and assign roles to our characters as we see fit.
-
If they ever make a pink castle I am sure it will match images and descriptions and the set will be accurate... 🤣🤣🤣 .
-
The female soldier or knight isnt a problem, a headswap can solve this easily. But dang, is this set lackluster from top to bottom. To each their own I guess. I was looking forward to it, and didn't buy any lion knights torsos and legs, saving for majisto. Oh wells... What a wasted opportunity!
-
Ahhhh.... I am starting to hate GWPs, haha. last year they released the forest hideout, the threshold was too high for me to just buy stuff I don't need. Luckily it returned with the release of the 10305. Both scenarios aren't fantastic, its either you need to buy stuff you otherwise wouldnt have to get the gwp or need to buy stuff you actually wanted to buy but maybe not at that particular moment, lol. Its a marketing strat - I know! But I would still prefer they released themed sets like the forest hideout or this new majisto set as standard retail or lego store exclusive. They could actually do both, standard retail for people who can just afford smaller sets and gwp for people who buy larger sets.

Dang, castle is getting really popular! Some really nice medieval builds this year. Luckily those sets wont come with any new civilian minifigs, so I wont be feeling like Im missing out

Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread
Poco Lypso replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Indeed, its just 3 per box. I lucked out once, shop assistants were bringing 2 new boxes and I was alone in the lego aisle. They let me grab all the orcs and falcons BEFORE putting the boxes on shelves. Lego should get rid of this system alltogether and release themed fig packs. As long as people could 'feel' the bags the gambling aspect was negligible. But with blindboxes it is becoming way too predatory imo. -

Poco Lypso replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
getting orcs and falcons has been incredibly difficult for me, I didn't get nearly as many as I had hoped for. as for the boxes I might actually resort to buying from scalpers but only for figs which I want just one or two at most. army building would be way too rough... -
I have seen a guy post 150 orcs on facebook. I have 11 orcs myself. they are a bit hard to come by for me, lol. ofc I could buy them from scalpers but my rule when it comes to lego is to never spend more than the recommended retail price. too bad I guess.
-
OOF! I didn't even think about a potential CMF series, lol. Will definitely wait and see what's happening after the rivendell release. As it stands rivendell alone doesn't make too much sense for me as I started with lego after the heyday of castle and lotr, so I don't have anything lotr related in my collection. If they release battlepacks, sets and a cmf series then thats gonna be insanely expensive for me. Oh boy!
-
I posted it all over facebook as well, haha
-
forestmen torsos are available on PAB online,
-
that is actually a good point. totally disregarded the fact, lol. matter of fact I have mostly yellow figs... hmm... I wouldnt wanna temper with Lotr figs to make them fit with the yellow ones... and fleshing out the yellow ones would be expensive, arghhg

was revealed in september

really like the new foliage piece

Poco Lypso replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
they shouldn't wait too long imo. at best they could make this an anual thing with more stuff being added to the mediaval kingdom like a medieval farm or village and a black falcon fortress -

the buildings look rather bland and unsinspired. I rather doubt this will be the final set (if at all). It would be so nice to have an accompanying set for the 10305 castle, hopefully with some awesome civilian figs.
