Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Yoggington replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
As a standalone building, DD is a really good looking set. However, as part of a street made up of all the modulars, it's just way too out-of-sync for my taste - it looks like it belongs in a different city or continent to the rest of the modular line. Like an American diner dropped into a European town. All IMO of course. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Yoggington replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Having now bought and built the Museum, I have to say I'm a lot more impressed with in person than I was just seeing the pictures. There's something very grand and regal about the front pillars & roof set up that only comes across in person. As mentioned in the last page or two, it's not exactly mind-blowing by any means, but it's a pretty damn solid design overall. For the ones I own, it slots in about here; -
Top 10 unlicensed Lego sets you want to be re-designed
Yoggington replied to Klaus-Dieter's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Your post with the old boxart images gave me a "smell memory" of thumbing through old catalogues @Autumn I don't really have ten. I would love to see the modern takes on Wolfpack Tower (6051) and Beta I Command Base (6970). Both sets from my childhood. Box-art for smell-o-vision: -
Looking at the new Space "crossover-theme" - where toys in many different lines are space-themed and united under a common flash on the boxes - I have to wonder if we might see similar initiatives for Castle & Pirates in the next few years. Maybe not the full-fledged relaunch that hardcore fans want to see, but still a nice idea, that would produce plenty of useful parts & sets. For example, I can see a Duplo bath-time pirate ship with water cannon for. Maybe a treasure map in the Art line, or a technic working sextant. Any thoughts about how we'd see 'Pirate' into other themes? Dreamzz and Creator are easy pickings, but where does it fit into City or Friends? Examples of the 'Space' crossover-theme: https://htxt.co.za/2023/12/06/forget-fortnite-legos-toys-are-crossing-over-with-themselves/

Could LEGO remake Fright Knights?
Yoggington replied to Fulcrumfan91's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I was replying to the comment with arguments against "Why not just sell them as polybags" to remove the blind element. So in that scenario, they wouldn't be. -
That tree build is *chef's kiss*. If I could offer one area for improvement it would be something to break up the block of bluish-grey (and to a lesser extent, the tan). You have my vote.

Could LEGO remake Fright Knights?
Yoggington replied to Fulcrumfan91's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Sounds like a supply & demand issue. Lego can make more of a high-demand figure easily enough. If they find the knight fig is selling as much as the rest combined, they can increase the amount produced. These aren't a one-&-done production batch. Sell them direct from Lego.com too. Good luck buying 'all the knights' on there. -
Does your Lego ever get damaged by pest?
Yoggington replied to ks6349's topic in General LEGO Discussion
This is a strangely antagonistic thread It sounds like you don't care too much about damaging the cardboard if you're willing to cover it in tape. This is the only part any pests might be interested in - they'll stay clear of the bricks. I'd say you'll be absolutely fine just storing them in the closet with a few mothballs. I just want to mention you can get special tape that is less damaging than regular sellotape/scotch tape. It's still not perfect, especially over a longer timeframe - I wouldn't be putting it on a priceless comic for example - but it's distinctly less gummy with less residue left behind and less chance of pulling the cardboard to shreds when you try to remove it. I use it on items that I want to reopen in the future (e.g. repackaged lego boxes). If interested, search for 'removable tape'. -
Roller Coaster with Intertwined Synchronised Loops
Yoggington replied to Lasse D's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Very impressive work. I very much appreciate the style of the video - leaving the errors in to see how you learned from them. Too many videos are perfect first time, or "here's one I made earlier". As for ideas, the first one to mind is that I think a "splash zone" could be worked in. Since you have already raised the ground level, you could have the coaster dip below that level, and motorise some 'splash' effect each time a cart passes that point. -
In YouTube are speculating about the end of yellow heads
Yoggington replied to El Garfio's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Looks to me like YouTubers drumming up talking points for the sake of keeping busy. Gotta feed that algorithm with fresh 'content', and the more controversial the better, for the clicks. In reality, it's a storm in a tea-cup, nothing to see here. We have some flesh-coloured minifigs because they represent real-life people, specifically the kids from that ad. That's in line with Lego's policy for a long time now. I strongly doubt Lego will ever move away from yellow figs completely. Is there anything to actually suggest a change apart from speculation? -
Thanks @Jim I won't hold my breath But no rush either, probably better to have an excuse to not be here so often.

Close, but not quite. Right click + cmd gives you a pop up option to remove the quote. Which is a painfully long way around but hey, at least I know now. And I also know I will never try to visit this site on mobile :v

I can't seem to find it on a quick search. Is there any way to get out of the rich text editor for replies and just use a plain text editor? It causes all sorts of minor inconveniences in it's current set up. I'd much prefer to just manually add tags as needed. Specifically I'd like to remove these empty quotes, which I can't find a way to do. Even leaving the thread and returning as them pre-saved there somewhere.

Functioning Charging Station and Train Pantograph
Yoggington replied to niveth's topic in LEGO Train Tech
The creativity and sheer genius of Lego users continually blows my mind. I would not even have considered this was possible. Astounding work, you've got a new subscriber on YouTube, and I'm looking forward to what you come up with next. -
I supported this over on Ideas a while back. I love it. This kind of novelty value is fabulous - the figurehead, the bajillion sails, even just the shape of the ship. Great work.
-
Well that gentle curve in the roof is just delightful. Is it stable? (inb4, no, it's a house!)
-
Very nice assortment. Where do the minotaur heads come from?

Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread
Yoggington replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I'm pretty sure 60344 has a hen in. -
So you can perma-link to any particular post by clicking the 'posted on' section and then copying that URL. Like so for the stickers post: Or if you turn off automatic embedding ('display as a link instead') you get the straight link and you can see the comment number (3660073 here) https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/195019-lego-21344-orient-express/&page=18&tab=comments#comment-3660073 Or of course you can always just quote a post to reference it.

Have you considered using the hat with hair too? or is that against purist rules

I'm afraid that's the box I'm in. I love how it looks - I'm not so into trains that I really see the issue. But an engine with no engine?? What's the point?

[CONTEST] How can we make future contests BIGGER and BETTER and MORE EXCITING?? 💥
Yoggington replied to Mister Phes's topic in LEGO Pirates
I think this goes back to being limited by Prize count. If there are only six possible prizes at most, and we're already dividing into three categories by size - and there's a winner and runner-up in each... well then there's no way for further sub-divisions - be that physical v digital, adult v child, or any of the other subdivisions mentioned. Maybe if the physical v digital split is more important than the size split, or more important than having a runner-up prize, then it can be a runner. Personally, I don't think it's more important. -
Sunglasses? In my medieval fantasy set??? Well now you're just pushing the bounds of reality.

I'm quite happy with the set, but then again I had no expectations to be dashed. I'm looking at it as "Hey free BURPs". Rockwork slopes and masonry bricks always appreciated. And even some of those curved 1x2 slopes in black? All good.
