    In Detectives office. Home. Home. Home. Home. Metro transit. Metro transit. Metro transit. Roadside repair. Roadside repair. Roadside repair. Medical. Medical. Pizza delivery. Amazing ideas here. Really new stuff that that hasn't been done year after year. All of these could totally support an entire "subtheme" of multiple sets, like a pizza delivery subtheme where one vehicle covers everything.

    Here's my collection so far. Sharing this as motivation for anyone who was like me and thought 'no way I'll get together even a fraction of these'. I only started a few months ago after taking apart a lot of CMF and going through all figures and realizing that I had a bunch of un-printed torsos and could swap a few arms and hands around. Not doing any 'wiping'. Long way to go but pretty happy with the collection from just finding most of the parts in my collection hidden under costumed figures or that came in sets and were forgotten.

    I get where you're coming from. It must be frustrating to feel like you're being sidelined by a privately owned children's toy company in favor of the 90% of that company's customers that are their target demographic of children. Guess you'll just have to deal with it.

    'I have taken time out of my life to link you to a video explaining why I say what I say. Here to explain why I say what I say is: someone else.' This is never going to end is it? Thread merge with City 2020 complaint thread.

    So back after building a bunch of brick roads. At first I built a few of the style shown here using the baseplates. Excellent design, uses the least amount of parts and unlike the moduverse you can make the road even wider for less sidewalk. I built a few sections including a 3-way intersection all of them that had only 3 studs of sidewalk each side which is nice because then you can squeeze in a bike lane. Then I decided to try and build some of the moduverse and see if I had enough parts to do a few sections of road and see how it compares. Here's a few shots with a few sections of road. I only have 4 modulars assembled right now though, everything else is taken apart and no corner buildings so just some mock up shots. Nothings actually pinned and most of the details aren't even connected. Honestly its kind of a toss up between the two designs discussed here. The moduverse uses a lot of parts (but you can throw in colors you don't care about) but the thicker height allows for lighting wiring and some other depth-dependent road details discussed above. The thinner Peedeejay/Tmctiger designs shown uses far less parts, gives your baseplates some usage and has more options of road width. In either case brick built roads are indisputably better than the official road plates which don't really work well with the modulars at all.

    That was a bold admission.

    At this point any rational hypothesis about why TLG makes the marking and business decisions it makes regarding its product is screaming into the void. All acknowledgement of TLG being a privately owned children's toy manufacturer will be met by the glorious angels of the Adults Who Play With Children's Toys Grievance LLC, who will swiftly swoop in to valiantly and heroically issue contemptuous ridicule and mockery. These vocal adults are going to continue to be displeased with everything TLG does because presumably they're all CEOs of their own children's toy companies. Nothing ever changes.

    It's actually AFOL who are the minority. We represent approximately 10% of Lego total sales. So TLG is going to continue to cater to their primary and largest market: children. If anyone here would let a small fraction of their total sales dictate the product that they offer as a whole then its not surprising that they aren't in charge of TLG.

    I just really like the custodian. So unappreciated. Look at how unhappy he is.

    This is a gorgeous MOC. Love the flowing sweeping design of the roof and the SNOT connected windows into side. Very warm and fuzzy feeling build. Fantastic work!

    @peedeejay Don't know how I never saw your post on this but that is excellent! After taking apart a lot of MOCs I have more grey bricks than I know what to do with and figured I'd finally get a chance to do some modular road system. After looking the various designs over again your solution looks like the most efficient design by far in terms of parts usage. I agree there's not really a point to the greater height of the other designs and they forgo the use of baseplates which would leave a bunch of us with a pile of disused baseplates after converting. It also looks like the road surface is better supported from below vs the Moduverse designs. Is it ok for other to use your method or adapt off of it for integrated road system?

    Very interested now to see if Lego will go forward with a Mei set considering her becoming a sort of protest symbol and Lego's very long desire for the Chinese market. Everyone else seems to be caving to their censorship demands.

    Absolutely gorgeous building you've created! Really feels like a pub in an older building in England. You've made great use of the lesser used Olive Green here and packed the whole building floor to ceiling with detail. There are so many great details here but I especially like the iconic phone booth and that taxi you've made. If this is your first one I can't see what you bring to the modular MOC fans in the future and also looking forward to seeing it completed in real bricks. Fantastic work!

    So nostalgic. The retro here is off the charts but I think it would also classify as vintage. Retro vintage M-Tron MOC, very awesome and fun. Thanks for sharing, this brings back stuck indoors during winter childhood memories.

    Most excellent design! The sand green and blue go together very well which I wouldn't have thought of. I love the rounded tower portion, and your color choices and style really feel like an elegant European hotel. Beautiful modular!

    Thanks for your thoughts, I'm really excited to see what pirate-specific/oriented parts will come out of this.

    Just echoing every else's sentiment: what a beautiful ship you've made. You should be very proud of your work because that is an excellent build. Well done.

    Absolutely gorgeous ship! Wonderful hull and color choices.

    Lets talk pieces and what the Ideas team might do. Like the palm tree trunks which haven't been made in some time? Also the mast sections, shroud/rigging piece and cannons as used in the original design. Do you think we will get these pieces as shown in the creator's design or will the Ideas polishing team utilize a different method of construction?

    I actually tiptoed around the site last night for the first time in half a year and while no purchase was made everything appeared to be working. It was nostalgic. And then I quietly left.

    This is one of the most impressive series of vignettes I've ever seen. Its like watching the movie in Lego form. Really awesome use of parts and connections for incredibly detailed scenes. The amount of different pieces you used here is excellent. Fantastic work!

    What's with all this backdoor talk? Shouldn't there... wasn't there a front door?
  23. koalayummies
    This is both hilarious and excellent. That creepy old head works perfect for this build. Fantastic scene you've created.

    Most excellent work Paupadros! The angled facade is fantastic and very original pushing the envelope of modular designs. Love your intricate connections all over the place. The blue yellow white side all-snot-plates is a particularly pleasing color combination and construction, earth blue first floor is great because that color is rather rare in modulars and I especially like the nougat and sand green side adding a bit of traditional architectural styling. So many inspirational details and connections here. Amazing work!

    I would classify these as nightmares!
