I had a question about how people prefer to store their minifigures, I've been concerned a lot about torso cracking that I've had in some figures between 2013-2019 mostly, and am trying to take the best course of action to prevent or minimize it. In theory keeping minifigures disassembled, or the legs not fully attached reduces the amount of pressure on the torso and can help prevent cracks. But I wonder if you stored them that way, but frequently assembled and disassembled them when wanting to use them, would frequency or infrequent assembley more likely to increase cracks than just leaving them assembled would? I'm curious if anyone has experience with the subject?

Obviously we're also going to get Venomized Keven Feige

I feel like Stan Lee would have been a better choice. But I was already pretty content with the minifigure roster, so this is just an added bonus. it's kinda a fun idea. Final thoughts might depend on how many figures in the tower have leg printing.

Update on the Tremortusk, Brickclicker mentions it in a video saying that the image is probably fake. You never know for sure, but he has a very strong track record, so I'm inclined to believe him.

The Venator looks perfect, I love it! Personally, I think it being the resolute is cool! Now the only question is to find a way to afford it...

It's cool that the clone battle pack is a kinda like a remake of the original two battle packs. Not too sad to not have any star corps clones. With the macrobinoculars piece I feel like getting a set with Commander Bly i just a matter of time.

They definitely used to be banned. I still have saved that old google doc that featured a list of allowed and band IPs. Something mad them change there mind. I recall a couple months ago the official Final Fantasy VII twitter account ran a contest that involved a MOC from seven. I think Horizon was always banned too, so maybe making that caused them to rethink things.

The picture looks pretty good to me. There looks like a very blurry Aloy minifigure on the base. But people are pretty good at edits, and it's really convenient that the name of the set, the piece count etc, are all too blurry to read (since those could have been photoshopped from other sets. Also kinda of weird that not many accounts have posted it. I'm skeptical to avoid disappointment, but I hope it's legit cause it seems like a real cool set and I loved the last one!

Assuming the X-Jet is X-Men 97-based, I really hope that it comes with Gambit and Rogue. But any new X-people would be great!

Is it bad that I unironically wanted venomized triple J?

For Marvel Modulars, I think it would be pretty neat if they tried some more experimental ideas too. Something like a Wakandan Embassy (even if it doesn't quite makes sense could be a very unique build) or Pym technologies building.

Really excited we might actually get the Gotham City Skyline set. If we're limited to just Batman sets, at least we'll get a BTAS one

I made my first Lego Ideas submission about a month ago, based on Star Fox. Lego has been dipping there toes into further Nintendo IP, but I feel like Ideas is the only way we'll see Star Fox come to fruition. LEGO IDEAS - Star Fox: Arwing

Congrats to the winners! So many amazing builds!

My entry for the Nature is After You category: Reeksa Root Retrieval! This MOC is based on Season 1 Episode 18 of Star Wars the Clone Wars: Mystery of a Thousand Moons. In this scene, Anakin and Obi-Wan travel down a crevice on the planet Iego (with an i not a L) in order to find the cure for the Blue Shadow Virus: the Reeksa root. But upon finding the root, the Jedi find themselves attacked by the deadly Reeksa! (I guess the root is named after the monster/plant) I really liked the idea of depicting Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting off the Reeksa on the side of a wall, I really wanted to play with the verticality. In the episode, the Jedi retrieve the root from a crevice in the ground, and it was fun layering the plant pieces within the ground to try and recreate that. The majority of the build is the rock wall, I made sure to make more use of SNOT bricks this time around to give more variety to the rock face, but also to make sure that the plant work could be layered within. I didn’t have the best selection of parts on hand to create the Reeksa with it being very organic and bendy, but I’m decently happy with how it turned out, It was important to portray the arcing movement as if it’s on the attack. Took some inspiration from the sandman build from the daily bugle.
