    I will not stand for this Adventurers erasure! We need some villain figs to go with the new CITY Johnny Thunder... That new top hat mold that started in Disney 100 SCREAMS Lord Sam Sinister!

    See this Brickset article, @JesseNight, for details on the new errors.

    Nobody said they didn't like the upcoming sets - far from it. Also, Q1 2025 sets released January 2025, so I can only assume you mean Q1 2026. Since we probably know of everything coming in January, it is natural to talk of Summer 2026. This cycle of looking forward into the future when all sets are known is a time-honored tradition that goes back to the foundations of the LEGO online fandom...

    Now THAT'S a CMF I can get behind! I would buy the heck out of that...

    Just so you know @Driver Brandon Grumman, two of those parts are on the modular building's GWP, the vintage parade car, in white. So the part is still around and has not been retired.

    Thanks @Darkkostas25!

    Apologies, No offence / min-modding meant!

    They usually just ask people to translate / edit the offending post into English.

    @CloneCommando99 You might want to put that in English, lest you run the risk of mods seeing it. EB is English language only site.... just sayin'!

    Thank you! for your compliments @LL1982! Yes, the roof of the real loco is red. I also did want to use roller skates as door handles... but when I go my Bricklink parts order in 2023 for the original four cars, it was missing those parts so I had to improvise.

    @Toxic43 @Eki1210 @Darkkostas25 - If you are tagged, you commented a while ago and I thought you'd like to see my updated model, as seen in the first post. The engine has been updated to 7 wide, a fifth passenger car has been added and all pictures / text have been revised! Thoughts?

    Thanks @SpacePolice89! All my figures are packed up right now, but you can fit one at the controls. (but only with the hatch open)

    Introducing the "Havok"-class hover tank! I modified the 25 year old Star Wars set 7155 (Trade Federation AAT) into Blacktron I colors. Before my mods the original set was very much a mess of too many colors, but now these two look elegant and refined in my opinion. Here is the rear of one of the tanks with turret rotated. The hatch is opened with control details visible and barrel elevated. Thoughts?

    Two spam bots are active right now. Spam threads are almost everywhere.... I reported one of each user's threads. EDIT: It's gone now. thanks MOD's!
  15. Murdoch17
    There's a bunch of spam threads in the General forum. I reported one twice, because apparently the first time I did so it didn't stick - I've learned having multiple EB tabs open while reporting deletes my report or something. @aFrInaTi0n @Jimmaybe that's a bug in the system? EDIT: There are now two spam bots active. One is in this forum now too.

    They just reopened PAB standard yesterday for the USA. Just letting you know!

    Thanks @Shiva!
  18. Murdoch17
    More spam threads than I can count are up again... just letting you guys know!
  19. Murdoch17
    My god, there was an invasion of spam bots overnight! There are at least four bots making posts EVERWHERE. I've tried reporting a bunch, but more keep coming! EDIT: It's all gone now! Thank you for cleaning up that mess, Mods!

    There is no lore. Not every theme or set needs a preset story. That's what your imagination is for!

    Thank you @Feuer Zug!

    I think you did a very good job on your first train and train review @Clone OPatra, and I hope to see more train reviews from you in the future! Although I will point out Johnny's torso is not exactly new... it first released in January 2025 on this figure, although it has yellow hands instead of gloves.

    Thanks @LEGO Train 12 Volts, that bulldozer was a pain to assemble with all those tiny tread parts, and it didn't work quite like I planned as I was going along... but it did look good in the end!

    Thank you @idlemarvel!

    Nine small 1950s freight cars of seven designs. Each was built to a length of about 16-18 studs per car with two bogies per vehicle. (Originally they had just two fixed axles when originally built, but this was recently fixed to be more prototypical for American freight cars.) The whole train going into a tunnel. These freight cars are (Left to Right): - cattle car - boxcars (x2) - flatcar with bulldozer load - Octan petroleum tankers (x2) - flatcar with load of rails - bathtub gondola with coal load - caboose This livestock car was heavily inspired by the one in 2014 CITY set 60052 but with a roof for more realism. I can now understand why LEGO left it open top in the set, but I managed to make it work. The roof (which was designed with the same look as the boxcars) is even removable and the ramps fold down so you can take out the cow. These two identical boxcars were inspired by set 7597 from the 2010 Toy Story 3 line. They were expanded in length and had the roof trapdoor removed. Here we see a small 1950s-looking bulldozer on a flatcar. The construction equipment was inspired by CITY set 60140, except in yellow with 46 technic links as the caterpillar tracks instead of red with rubber one-piece tracks. Other things such as headlights and gears (for the treads) were added, and the blade was shortened in width by two studs. These two oil tanker cars came from my own imagination, and are made in Octan livery. This is an older MOC of a flatcar loaded with rails updated to have bogies instead of two fixed wheels. This bathtub gondola with a load of coal is entirely my own design. This caboose model is slightly inspired build-wise by the Katy Caboose (as in, "The Caboose who got Loose" from the children's book) model I copied in late 2021 from @zephyr1934's MOC. Thoughts? EDIT: Post updated 12/14/25 with two new freight cars and revised first picture - bathtub gondola and flat car with rail load are now added!
