    Photoshopped even though the ingot piece isn't available in Sand or Nougat. Bricky Yellow ish kind of Sandy Yellow or olive I dont know anymore Nougaty I don't know something was wrong with the mask for this whole thing trying to cancel out the green tint

    Yeah you got a good eye though as that was actually a lesser noticed part change than when they switched from 'classic smiley face' heads to the current and adding random 1-stud 'jumper plates' to the sidewalks.

    Is that what that is behind the wheel? The gear change? Excellent review and photos showing the build and parts.

    Not all heroes wear capes, your investigative work and interwebz knowledge is appreciated Tusserte. On topic there's only a few more hours until bricklink resellers swallow up all the brand new pieces within two minutes! Very exciting!
  5. koalayummies
    Woah check that out there's a guy selling that 14¢ piece for $4.53 each!
  6. koalayummies
    Yes. And Bricklink's color names are especially misleading with the pearl/metallic colors. The piece in the older modulars is 15561 Silver Ink $0.21 on B&P (the one that looks like silver spraypaint) while the one used in the later buildings is 2412 Silver Metallic $0.06 B&P (the one that looks gloss gunmetal nail polish).

    Leewan! If this was a review you'd get 10 out of 10! Fantastic design! The construction and techniques are excellent. Absolutely in the style of all the vehicles that we've gotten in the official modulars; time period aesthetic, functionality/opening doors, fits minifigures and obviously goes perfect with the latest building. If this came with the set it'd be the best modular building vehicle without question. It's even better in person so thanks for sharing. Awesome work! (I set this image to private in my flickr so its only displayed here in your EB thread).

    Fun fact: executive vice president of marketing Mads Nipper described The Lego Group's 2004 perils as making the company "almost bankrupt". Only eight years later they became the "most valuable toy company" and just eleven years after near doom they had fully recovered and then some to become "the world's largest toy company by revenue".

    Very accurate and creepy. Everyone should see a few minutes of this bizarre movie. Well done recreation!

    Hey no apologies needed! I should have just added Jamie's later addendum immediately after that link. Only reason I even linked it was because it was brought up with no source.

    In addition to the fact that I already told him that the oft cited guide is out of date. Since it was ignored maybe you'll listen to this guy: Full read that will be ignored as well: Stressed by the Elements: Saturn V, Tiles, Plates and the Legality of Connections. According to Jamie Berard himself, the popular ideas on "illegal" connections are outdated.
  14. koalayummies
    There was an interview somewhat recently about that (its called "Stressing the Elements") and they said that it has been updated internally and that some of the things have changed and no longer apply. Some due to materials changes, which I believe New Elementary has covered as well (scroll down to New Transparent/ABS vs PC). Also from Brickset "Are Trans-Clear LEGO (or all trans parts) now made out of a different plastic?". I can't seem to find any problems with water park water canon you listed.

    What a fantastic and flowing vehicle. I agree the parts usage is superb; especially like the ice skate in the rounded plate for hood ornament, never would have thought of that very ingenious. Also nice to see that weird binocular-looking piece in perfect usage and the stud shooter as part of the tree trunk. Most excellent and visually pleasing creation Versteinert! Lists here: Flat Tile 1X1, Round No. "48"

    Based on google advanced searching this thread some have had site trouble and freezing/crashing when approaching 90-different part types. I thought I remember reading that the limit was 200 different parts and 200 of each part (drop-down selection limited as you noted) but that can't be right since that would be 40k pieces. One can also place multiple orders and that has to be how some of those bricklink sellers have for example 1,338 of the newer pumpkin piece when it was just released and everyone here was having trouble waiting for them to be in stock again (because the bricklink sellers bought them all no doubt).

    Hey! Funny guy! Maybe we can make pieces from old instructions then. Or Mylenium. Super serial. -username
  18. koalayummies
    Dang, I hadn't thought of that; that's a great point. It makes them good as standalone sets but yeah those who get a bunch will have quite the pile.
  19. koalayummies
    I've never been the biggest fan of older tyme automobiles but your creation here is downright spectacular. The shape, construction and design, parts usage and photography are all sublime. And then you went all 'madlad' as the internet likes to say and released it for free and mod-able. Top notch creation all the way Leewan!

    Where is this?
  21. koalayummies
    ...but instructions will eventually be entirely digital. Lego fans want to soar across the galaxy faster than light, travel back in time to pirates, castles and dragons and build utopian mega-cities but apparently we lose a few with the idea of a world without paper instructions. R2D2 didn't deliver the Death Star plans on parchment so this really shouldn't be that hard to imagine. Bricks will be made from non-petroleum products; crude oil will not be the raw ingredient. Step-by-step instructions, regardless of the medium, are here to stay; the baffling trigger that kicked off this whole thread. A couple people can complain on the internet about change and their hankering obsession for nostalgia but it won't stop progress. The old and many of the current ways aren't working and they will be addressed. Here's what Lego has already pledged or set as goals: Carbon neutral manufacturing operations by the end of 2022 2025 ambition to make all packaging 100% sustainable No waste to reach landfill by end of 2025 2030 ambition to have all products made from sustainable materials Source: The Lego Group

    The aspect that would lead to printed instructions being done away with is environmental. Plant pieces made from plants, the desire to move away from plastic packaging bags, the Royal Dutch Shell/Asia Pulp and Paper/Greenpeace campaign; TLG has concern for and also faces outside pressure regarding these issues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lego_Group#Environmental_issues But the current batch of small yet always vocal and perpetually-change-averse Aggravated Fans Of Lego need not worry because it probably won't happen in your lifetime.
