LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2026 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Murdoch17 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Don't even speak of such an evil, lest the LEGO designers hear you! (they DO read Eurobricks, after all!) -
[MOC] New Year's Locomotive Parade - Christmas Tree
Murdoch17 replied to Brickstone_City's topic in LEGO Train Tech
WOW! Nice work @Brickstone_City! -
I have but one question and one simple request: Does the crank start break / rip your arm off if you aren't quick enough to let go when the engine finally turns over like on a real Model T? Here's the request: I NEED a Speed Champions Model T / Model A (or maybe truck versions of both too?) My deceased grandfather (born 1918, died about 15 years back) learned to drive on a Model TT (Model T as a truck) at a very young age after buying his license at the general store. (He never took a driving test in his life AFAIK, and drove up until the late 1990s!) so it would be cool to see a Model TT truck in LEGO - preferably in 6 wide. (I'd also take a Model A, as I got to ride the rumble seat of one of those to visit him once before he died.)

You can't change the colors AFAIK - everything you have is what you have.

March 1 for Police train, Summer for the rest probably @GoHabsGo.

Adding that (along with Pokemon and One Piece) to the list of things I won't be getting. I never was into anime stuff beyond (classic!) Speed Racer, and collecting trading card games was never my shtick. Heck, I was right in the target demographic for all three of these shows when they were relatively new, and I found them totally odd. But don't listen to me: I was one of the like three kids on Earth who liked the Galidor TV show! (Hey LEGO, when we getting a revival of that theme? )

Glue, UV, and other heresy for large sculpture

Thank you for the correction @Toastie, I knew it was really bad for you but not that bad! -

EB isn't meant to host photos. You have to upload them elsewhere (like Flickr, for example )and link them into your post @sixf00t4. Also, @clicky, the chemical MEK is extremely hazardous and cancer causing when curing. LEGO uses it for LEGOLAND, but they have directable vents they keep close to the build to keep it away from the workers. Just letting you know! -
There's a Brickset article about the TMNT Brickheadz being revealed! (I wasn't sure where to post this, sorry if in wrong place...)

Ask and you shall receive @Stereo! Included in this Bricksafe page is a LDD file* and a picture of parts not included in the file that you need to complete it if you so desire. Attaching these parts to the MOC should be relatively easy to figure out, especially if you use the official 40913 instructions as a guide. If you build it, be sure to post pictures! *LDD files are easily convertible to Studio files, then you can add almost all the missing parts in except for the tires. (they are not in any program yet)

I liked the January 2026 LEGO Gift With Purchase (set 40913 - Vintage Parade Car) when it was revealed but I didn't like it enough to spend two hundred bucks to get it. So, I waited until instructions came out, made as much as I could digitally, (while keeping track of the 29 parts not in LDD) and modified it a little bit in a scant few places. This is one of the two color schemes I decided to build the 1950s-style sports car in - the other has parts still coming to me in the mail. Here we see the front view of the car with it's owner. The rear of the car. The model can seat two figures inside, as in the original GWP set. Now, about that second upcoming car model: I was faced with multiple paint job options for bodywork and trim that are buildable in real life while redesigning it, which I narrowed down to those listed as follows below (in no particular order): Dark Blue / white - the original from the set, and a very classy color scheme Black / white - also classy, but kind of looks like a police car Orange / white - very snazzy, but perhaps a bit too bright for a '50s car Red / light gray - while it's nice, the taillights really blend into the bodywork with this one Blue / light gray - my brother really likes this one tan / light gray - a bit bland Twenty-nine parts in twelve part types are missing from each car, but I assure you they are all buildable in real life! Any thoughts / guess as to what the second car I'm building will be?

I would tend to agree with 2009, it's smack in the middle of LEGO Renaissance era (my own term) of 2005 - 2014. CITY started in 2005 and things began to turn around, and at the other end The Lego Movie started the trend of Lego being taken seriously by the main stream (speculating investors, aftermarket going nuts, etc. are among the downsides to this!), along with the TLG becoming more like a large corporation than a family run business around this time too. My LEGO timeline map goes like this: wooden era - 1930s to 1960s innovation era - 1958 to 1978 golden era - 1978 to 1995 declining era - 1995 to 2005 renaissance era - 2005 - 2014 gone mainstream era - 2014 - 2020 post-covid / adults welcome era - 2020 - ?

I was 7 or 8 when the original Shrek came out, and I wasn't impressed with it or the sequels. I will be skipping this LEGO theme.
