Ecclesiastes

A new issue of HispaBrick Magazine is now available. On this occasion we wanted to showcase communities from different parts of the world and see how they are dealing with the pandemic situation as LEGO fans. Lee Magpili presents us with his SAM robot, Mark Favreau shows us his little "war" with Bricklink in a humorous style, we will see how to build mountain modules with the MILS system, and the already classic EV3 courses by Ahmad Sahar and Oton Ribić are of course continued. We also have a review of the great Roman Coliseum, one of the largest sets to date, of Friends' mini-dolls by Claire Kinmil and other reviews. And of course, Desmontados by Arq medes, who brings us what will be his last cartoon in the magazine, Benny's Corner by Luigi Priori and the incredible constructions made by AFOLs in the Top MOC section.

It has a lot of small and also similar parts so that explains the smaller box as well. Also, the MF is licensed(plus a bunch of licensed minifigs) which makes it also more expensive even if it has less parts. I like the comparison of the two boxes though, gives a good impression of the size. And I didn't expect boxart on the inner boxes!

I like the set, but I'm not blown away. I see it as good tan castle parts pack. Now waiting for the right price. The GWP got me excited, but I'll wait now: Yes... Sure a let down. Compared to the gift with the batmobile last year, which was also a Black Friday Release, this is an abomination... My 5 year old nephew could do better.

10276 – LEGO® Colosseum ● 499.99 EUR/ 449.99 GBP/ 549.99 USD/ 649.99 CAD/749.99 AUD ● Aged 18+ ● 9,036 pieces ● Product available direct from LEGO.com and from LEGO Stores from 27th November This Black Friday, LEGO® fans can take home a piece of history and re-create Rome’s most iconic landmark, with the awe-inspiring new LEGO Colosseum set. Made up of 9,036 pieces, this is not only the largest LEGO brick set launched to date (taking the title from the LEGO® Star Wars™ Millennium Falcon) it’s also been expertly designed to mimic the incredible architecture of the original Roman amphitheatre, making it a building project to savour and a set to marvel at. Both LEGO fans and History buffs need to look no further than their living room to experience a taste of Italian history, as this LEGO brick model is a truly authentic LEGO brick recreation of the mighty Colosseum – featuring many true-to-life details to help builders accurately bring this famous building to life. This epic LEGO model features a recreation of the three distinct stories from the Colosseum, with each of these stories adorned with the columns of the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders. These columns have been faithfully recreated in LEGO brick form using a variety of creative building techniques, including decorative volutes that have been created using a recoloured LEGO roller skate element that has been turned upside down to create an authentic look. Every detail of the set has been meticulously crafted to stay true to the real-life Colosseum – including having 80 ‘ribs’ in the spectator stands (the exact same number as the original) and having three different shades of brick to replicate the different columns and aging of the almost 2,000 year old landmark. The build experience has even been expertly created to match the same process as the original, with the “wooden” LEGO arena being the last build to be placed on the LEGO model, as it has been in the 1990s. As well as being a challenging build, this model is truly a breath-taking focal point for any room. The LEGO Colosseum rests on an oval base, allowing this phenomenal 360-degree display piece to be shown off from any angle. Builders can then choose which side of this magnificent LEGO Brick recreation of one of Rome’s most visited landmarks they display – whether that’s the southern side of the building, which has been destroyed by various earthquakes and natural disasters over the years, or the more complete northern wall. Colosseum features arches, that have been recreated with LEGO brick detailing, allowing a view into the centre of the Colosseum from the outside, just like its real-life counterpart. The set was designed by Rok Zgalin Kobe who commented: ” One of the biggest challenges and one of the most important things was to convey the Colosseum’s monumentality in the LEGO form. I felt that the LEGO model should display a special architectural feature of the original – the rows of columns flanking the arches in different styles. To achieve that, the model is constructed using an effect of vertical exaggeration. The cross-section is therefore far steeper than on the real structure. Hopefully, people will be inspired to learn more about the original through the experience of building the LEGO model.” The LEGO Colosseum measures over 10.5” (27cm) high, 20.5” (52cm) wide and 23.5” (59cm) deep making this a spectacular centre piece for any LEGO brick collection. The set will launch on 27th November, on Black Friday, as part of the LEGO Stores and LEGO.com Black Friday offerings. LEGO VIP members who purchase the exclusive model during the Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend will receive a limited-edition gift with purchase, a Roman Chariot, which can be displayed alongside the Colosseum.

I think this could be a hit for kids, which normally isn't the case with IDEAS sets. So for me, it doesn't appeal at all but I can see it being a nice playset. And I might pick it up just for the figs if it would be on sale.

Good review, now I know for sure I don't want it. Though the technique for the wings is quite good and TLC delivered a decent set. For me it's just a lot of expensive black. I do love the minifigs though. Maybe for the right price....

Built for SHIPtember 2020, inspired by the Lepanto from the Gundam The Origin series. Time it took to build was two and a half weeks and the length is 156 studs. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin A small escort ship deployed by the Earth Federation space fleet. Smaller than the Salamis-class cruiser, it is equipped with only a single mega particle cannon, but has a large number of missile launchers mounted all over its hull. With forward missile launchers, a VLS (Vertical Launch System) on top of the hull, and missile pods and missile launchers on its sides, it can fight using a wide range of physical projectiles. Armaments: Mega Particle Gun, Foreword Internal Missile Launcher, 5-tube VLS, Missile Pods, 6-tube Missile Launcher and 2-barrel Machine Gun Turrets. WIPs:

Awesome! Great work on the greebling, altough it's in black it's still visible. Als nice color choice, reminds me a bit of the Dune games.

End of an Era!! Loved the amount of work you've always put into it!

Merged with existing topic. Only start a topic if there's any real 2021 info out there, now it's redundant.

I guess, the CMF has replaced the impulse sets. With those being just 3,- a bag with cmf is even 4,- now(starting at 2,-)... I miss those sets being awesome army builders with some decent parts. Especially this one:

If you have any info, that would be a perfect moment to start this topic. Now it's just pointless.

Moved to History. That said, awesome castle!

Build over 2,5 years ago for a collab at Legoworld Utrecht. Back than I only edited one photo. But because the castle had a full interior a kept it, and finally made some new photos of the whole thing! Sometimes you just need some time for yourself. All important matters in Valholl are in good hands. So Elon decided to spend some time with his family at one of his castles.

Absolutely stunning! Love all the details, like the lanterns at the corners of the roof and the different markets stalls. I could almost mention it all, it works all so well together. Also a very nice touch of adding a background wall behind the gate! Good seeing you build in Historica again!

Unfortunately shows all over the world are being canceled. The same goes for Brickworld Chicago this June. But no worries, there's now a virtual one! Visit the website to be part of this exciting event! https://www.brickworld.com/

Contest on Lowlug, recreate sets like the 6009 or 5615. Which disappeared with the rise of the CMF. That is a shame because those were perfect for Army Building!

Those wings!

That doesn't matter at all. It's always appreciated if someone wants to help a member out. But send a PM if you want to do it in Russian! Other members can't read it and find it odd and even report it as spam. So when using the forum, use English

? And now again in English please!!

My entry for the "Need Castle Fix Contest" on Lowlug. The 6086 is a true classic and this is how I would see it as a set today. So I tried to stay true to the original. But a bit more realistic. So no open towers and half a house and so on. And of course the minifigs deserved a makeover. Also raised baseplates aren't being used so I went for something that had a sort of similar look to it. Doesn't this make you want to finally have Castle back!;)
