    Loooooove this red speeder bike/boat with the saber on the side. Can be recognized directly. Excellent

    [WIP] Dune Scout Ornithopter

    Great implementation, I like the perspective from the cockpit. The seats are excellent and the many instruments. Looks very suitable.

    The first part was simply gigantic in the cinema. The big screen, the sound design was a board. The last time I felt such brutal audio-visual power was with Lord of the Rings in the cinema. This is actually cinema for all the senses. And especially with that famous sandcrawler scene, with the ornithopters landing...wow, goosebumps. The more closed and sleek shape of your model is really successful. I'm currently building the original set, the technology and how the mechanics behind it work and how everything comes together in the end is really great. After that I'll probably replace the colorful parts and build a stand. And then I need your model. I really wish for more official sets, battle packs, sandworm etc. A whole world to discover.

    Dune Ornithopter Mod

    Wow, I really, really like that. It now looks thinner, more agile and more aerodynamic. Also great is the smoother surface. You're right, it shouldn't be too long, otherwise it will look strange. I like the lights at the front much better this way. Looks more stable. I'm curious if you implemented it in real bricks. Are you planning instructions? I would be happy. It's a fantastic set, we're going to the film on Sunday.

    Sounds just great. Would also love to see pictures of it. Inspiration is always good.

    LEGO Ninjago 2024 Rumours and Discussion

    That's exactly what I was thinking of. A little bit in the direction of a pirate bay with a skull entrance. Only with Japanese garden elements.

    LEGO Ninjago 2024 Rumours and Discussion

    Ah, that turned out really great. I love the many references. You have so many possibilities when it comes to Ninjago City Mocs and yet I have the feeling that certain standards simply have to be there: water - preferably under a bridge or "flowing around the corner". Lots of bright colors, interesting roofs, built higher than wide, various shops with "fan articles" or retro articles, fancy stickers. I'll find all of that here in your Moc. I love the figure with the red glasses and the red short cape. (from Lego Movie 2, right?) - next to the one with the crossbow. And it's very cool how Spiderman (Miles?) stands there in half-shadow with his white eyes. The other day I came across the article on BrickNerd with the frogs in the Lego world. Here you can find a few of them. You can never have enough frogs. :-) And especially your hoverboard gang is awesome. I'll take a closer look at the pictures. Keep up the good work. Maybe a dedicated thread for Ninjago City Layout would be a good idea.

    2024 Space sets

    I realllllly like this cool hoverbike at 5:00 min. The minifigures are also very nice looking. The hole station....is....ok. But that´s all. Kinda feels like a little bit...to less. To much unused space....

    LEGO Ninjago 2024 Rumours and Discussion

    Wow, another Ninjago D2C? This comes out of nowhere for me. I had mentally prepared myself for the Dragonstone Temple as the largest Ninjago set this year (i.e. 2024), especially since the markets are still so fresh. But...that's of course wonderful, no matter what it turns out to be. Another expensive year However, the list of Ninjago Mocs is getting longer and longer, the Dojo is currently EOL and is yet to move in alongside the other NC Sets. Plus you can definitely make something out of the new MonkieKid Megapolis city and there are still so many MOCs on Rebrickable. The new CNY Diner can an also be easily integrated, it's best to do it twice so that it is completely closed and not in a dollhouse style.
  12. Overall, not quite as enthusiastic as I was with City of Lanterns...and deep down, I was hoping for a 4000-5000 piece set. Even if that was never up for debate. Are we still assuming the end of the series (or is that off the table?) and that this would be the big bang for the finale? An extension of the tracks would have been great and the Ferris wheel somehow doesn't fit in. But still it's fantastic, the colors, the Easter eggs, the minifigures and all the prints or stickers. I love the possibility of design. I try to combine it with the Ninjago sets, I think the combination of both subject areas is so great, they go well together. I would find two individual topic blocks next to each other...separate. The price is...phew. But this set, the markets and also the new restaurant from CNY. There are still a few great sets on the list.

    Chinese New Year Sets - Rumors and Discussion

    Above all, the many details and the general splendor of colors are always great in these sets. Won't be long before they're converted into a Ninjago or Monkie Kid world. The dragon beautifully in the middle on a lake and the restaurant closed at the back...can look great.

    Dune 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

    Ah great. Huge Dune fan, both books and movies. In general, I would have preferred an "outwardly nicer" display set, but especially this function with the wings from this terrific scene from the new movie is wonderful. I can understand the balancing act of the designers. But the best of all are the minifurs. Wonderful. The sets you want sound great. Just such figure sets are always welcome.
  15. At least the larger sets like city of lanterns are suitable for something like this: I think many of the designs by some mod designers that fit into the Ninjago Modular construction are quite successful, as here from the Airjitzu Temple.
