    I was an adult when Ninjago came out and I liked it, so am I not "Normal" by your measuring stick? And as an aside: there is no pink ninja besides a one-TV-show-episode gag about washing red with white clothes. Also, @icm did respond about new monorail parts in the post directly above your latest one.

    It's about damn time! Better late than never, I guess? (Picture from Brickset)

    whoops. forgot about the Dreamzzz set. Apologies!
  4. Murdoch17
    Probably not any time soon, so don't get your hopes up. Don't forget, we still need light gray helmets and air tanks to go with the Rocket Boy CMF from 2017 and dark blue helmet and tanks from that BAM spaceman torso...

    Just a little over an hour left (71 minutes, actually) to go until ordering gets shut down! I wonder what the final numbers of orders will be?

    As I said on Rebrickable: "...and the piano sounds like a carnival, and the microphone smells like a beer..." The cafe is a superb MOC, but the piano player and other details immediately drew Billy Joel's song 'Piano Man' into my mind. This elevates into 'Fantastic MOC' territory for me! Keep up the good work @Ptchnk!

    That just happens @Black Falcon. It's like that because they split the thread from the 2025 ones, so it doesn't remember where you left off.

    Nice work @bright22 - love the music club!

    VERY nice work, and I'm glad to see it worked out in real bricks - the stickers really make it pop! (and this is coming from someone who dislikes stickers!)

    Thanks @Renny The Spaceman, here's all my DW stuff: From left to to right we have the following Doctor Who LEGO creations (actors who played the doctor are in paratheses): 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi) the 12th Doctor's shrunken TARDIS Cyberman 4th Doctor (Tom Baker) classic series blue TARDIS K9 10th Doctor (David Tennant) modern series 10th Doctor's TARDIS weeping angel 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) Dalek Davros Dalek ...Thoughts?

    please do @Renny The Spaceman! Here's my most recent MOC (July 2025): The Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker), K9, and a classic series blue TARDIS. I also have 12, 11, 10 (who predates the official set!), Davros, a few Daleks, the Tiny TARDIS, a lone cyberman (no, not that one) and a few other items as well. I'll shown these off tomorrow, if I can find them.

    @Renny The Spaceman, here I was thinking this thread had news of new sets or something, but nope! You trying to get somebody to have a heart attack here?

    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? )

    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...)
  17. Murdoch17
    I'm huffing so much hopium that it's Doctor Who!

    *sigh* And here we go again.... I'm not gonna waste my breath arguing with you @danth about this issue, as it's as pointless as screaming into the wind. Mark Stafford is (was?) a user here on EB. Why don't you direct you questions towards Nabii if you don't believe me and see if he responds? He worked on Alien Conquest and SPIII and still works there (unlike Faber AFAIK), so he could most likely comment on Galaxy Squad. You could also search for the old threads and do research yourself on the matter instead having me prove you wrong, as you are the one taking issues with what anybody says that contradicts you and your beliefs.
  19. Murdoch17
    If I remember correctly, 2013's Galaxy Squad was a flop at the time or at very least didn't meet expectations, and the same goes for Alien Conquest from 2011, which had a whole wave canceled according to Mark Stafford in an interview with Brick Journal over a decade ago. Space themes haven't seem to have sold well since SPIII or even before, with the (arguably fantastic and gone to soon) Blacktron Renegade being the latest example of that as it went End Of Line in under a year. Of the five classic themes from the start of minifigures, only Town / City thrives today. Trains is a once-in-a-blue-moon thing or rolled into City (depending on the set), while Pirates, Castle, and Space are sadly reduced to occasional throwback items or BDP exclusives, although space has been seen in City too in recent years. These last four themes just don't test as well with kids on thier own, and thus they don't make them. Also, they the retro adult sets are spread out in a drip-feed fashion as to not over-saturate the market. Hope this answers your questions @zeeverse.

    I tried pricing out a large Blacktron modular building with over 1000 parts (that's minus the 700 parts for interior details). It cost over $220 according to PAB standard, and still needed $60 of older parts from Bricklink. Then I tried a Bricklink for almost everything but the window panes, as nobody had that many. In all, it was much cheaper to do the latter method - it wasn't even 200 for the whole thing, maybe 180 before shipping and taxes. For some things, Bricklink loses out on (rare parts in large quantities) but in most cases Bricklink is cheaper than LEGO.

    I tried putting the site in my address bar and got a error message that the site didn't exist, so I'm not holding out much hope.

    Thanks @SpacePolice89 and @icm!

    Finally finished after a month of Bricklink heck*, this ships are Blacktron 1 versions of a classic Star Wars speeder design is mostly taken from set 75204 - Sandspeeder, with portions taken from other snow-based versions of the type as well. All this is wrapped up in a new black and yellow paint job with a trans-yellow windscreen from 75414 - The Force Burner Snowspeeder. I call this ship type the Avalanche class snub fighter, and they will be going with my heavily modified Renegade set and the rest of my Blacktron 1 MOD's. *I would have had this done two weeks ago, but one of the orders reeked of smoke in a really major way, so I had to reorder the parts from two other stores. Rear view of the two ships. This type of short-range fighter is usually assigned in massive quantities to defend critical planets with Blacktron bases on them, whereas the much more capable and deadly Buzzard type is usually for capitol ship escort duty, and can take on much bigger vessels with only a dozen or so fighters. The inside seats two figures. Thoughts on this newest addition to my fleet?

    Thanks @Daiman! It was no big deal, really.
  25. Murdoch17
    I finally found the passenger cars @Daiman @LL1982 @Shiva! I hope this picture is good enough.... I had to move a ton of stuff to get this clean of a shot. First post is also updated!
