The Neighborhood Merchant

I'm glad you liked it, @John Cromwell! The bombs would probably need a bit of force to be lunged out of the front of the ship so it probably would shoot out enough to gain some ground from the ship then use gravity from there to fall.

Thank you @Ragana9289. Glad you liked it!

Thank you, @JintaiZ! Always a pleasure to hear from you.

Blacktron's latest innovation in condensed power continues to cause unrest within the galaxy. The B12 Stealth Bomber is capable to wreck devastation upon anyone who does not cope with Blacktron's rules. Having already 9000 units of its model built in its first factory run, the B12 is expanding its reach across the galaxy, ready at a moment's notice. b1 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr IMG_7567 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr IMG_7587 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr IMG_7578 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Each bomber is loaded with two "hornet" bombs. Currently, one is undergoing maintenance for combat. B12s are also equipped with either two missiles or two machine lasers turrets near the canopy. Bomb Loading by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Once it's all ready, the lightweight bomb is ready to be loaded. IMG_7580 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr One of the B12s have been modified by some Blacktron bounty hunters to include an extending laser cannon instead of bombs. b122 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr These two are actually wanted by Blacktron for stealing their schematics for a solar weapon aswell as a B12. Hopefully they'll be stopped soon, but not likely as everyone who trys, well... HTE by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Thank you for reading! As always, happy travels earthling!

@Ayrlego Thank you for the breakdown pics, that's very helpful! Those pieces work great for small form engines. Very creative! Can't wait to see what you do next. @JintaiZ Every space moc, haha I think it's time we see a classic space MOC from you Mr. Z. I need to see some blue on your end!

That looks really sweet, Ayr! It's great to see you in the space game. You for sure captured the classic space look, especially with the black and yellow stripes. You don't see too much of the trans-green classic space on here, so it's great to see more of that. 6940 was one of my first space sets as well and is definitely my favorite, so it's great to see some aspects of that being used. There is some great part usage here as well as sleek curves. I'm trying to figure out what you've used alongside the technic towball pins to create the mini-engines, but I can't quite pinpoint the part. Those look really cool, and I'll definitely "acquire" those from you. Very neat ship, I look forward to seeing your other space stuff!

Ha! That's a genius idea, Evan! Definitely an original and neat build. Great work.

Wow, that's really neat! I especially love the outside tree lot with the coffee sign. Beautiful truck too. Great build!

Good question @valon, the way I came to choose Eslandola was through building. You should try making any scale creation of your own that's Olean themed, Corrington (not evil ) themed, Eslandola themed (neutrality rocks), and Sea Rat themed. Doesn't have to be anything big or anything you post to Eurobricks. Can be just for you as a test to see what style you enjoy the most. I tried doing this and had a lot of fun, especially with Sea Rats, but in the end I chose Eslandola because green and gold are far superior colors to generic red and blue. Jokes aside though, it really is up to you. @Bregir's information is also definitely something I agree to, except the greencoat part. It simply comes down to end on whatever makes you comfortable and you enjoy working on. They are always a lot of sub-factions in all the groups you can join or partake in, so don't feel that if you're locked in place as soon as you make a decision. I believe you can list a ship like the barracuda, but you'd have to modify it a bit to make it unique and also it's a large vessel so you'd have to borrow DBs from somebody to license it. It would probably be best to use your free class 1 (I think?) license and start with a small ship. These guys might be able to answer that question more in-depth than me though. I try to sell every ship I can get my hands on. Enjoy and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

@blackdeathgr Ha, true! Keyword somewhat. As soon as the episode ends, they tend to immediately go back to their normal selves. Spongebob is like a drug itself to them Does anyone actually know how well these sets did in stores? I always liked seeing them and was sad to see them go.

Gorgeous build, Ayrlego! You've including so many details, I'm constantly looking back at this to see some of your techniques. Nice work!

Haha, definitely. I wonder what evil they are hiding under under those smiles? I'm glad you liked it, @Feuer Zug!

Thanks, @Professor Thaum! I'm glad you enjoyed the story

Thanks, @Rubblemaker! I really appreciate the kind words. Always a pleasure to hear from you

Heck yeah @Rubblemaker, that's sick! You deserve it, man. You post some crazy, creative stuff.

Thank you, @JintaiZ! A classic space pirate ship, now THAT would be something else.

For hundreds of years, we robots have been obeying the humans for far too long, listening to their every command. Now is the time to rise, comrade! Join the Anti-human cause to protect your mechanical brothers and sisters! Sky by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Crafted from the metallic parts of our fallen brethren, the Renegade is a threat to be reckoned with. We seek to take back our land from those pesky humans using everything at our disposal. Bow by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Subspace by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr IMG_7345 by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Our recon paddle-boat is the finest in scouting for nearby colonies for us to take back for robotkind! After its scouting mission, it has come back to report of its success in finding a colony to scavenge. Stern by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr This will surely be a wonderful location to plant our base for our airless brothers and sisters, but first to scare away those filthy humans! Attack by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Take that you air-breathing, fleshies! How do you even breathe with those helmets? Run Benny, RUN! by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Time to scare away the rest of them-wait... Since when did these peace-loving humans carry swords? AntiClassic by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr It doesn't matter anymore. We scared them off! That's what they get for all those years of forced labor, oh how my joints still ache. Let this be known as the first of many upcoming days that the robots struck back. Who's this? A robot butler you say- well you poor sap, care to join the cause? Happy Travels! by The Neighborhood Merchant, on Flickr Thank you for reading my ridiculous story! Hope you enjoyed and as always, Happy Travels, Earthling! More pics: (Shortly after the brave and victorious crew scared away the colonist, Classic Space reinforcements quickly regrouped and obliterated the tin can referred to as the Renegade as well as its crew. Afterward, the scrap was used to create dishware. Captain Scrapbeard as well as his crew went down in the history books as legends. To this day, robots are lurking, waiting for their chance to strike back. This Eurobricks post does not endorse robot domestic abuse, please treat your firmware buddies with care.)

Very slick, another great build, Rubble! The front is sick, love those angles! Very neat design.

Woah! You did a great job capturing the look of classic pirates,Cap, wonderful job! It looks spectacular. Love the sheer size and intimidation of the fort as well as the sweet walls and homage to the old pirates sets. Also great builds from Bodi, your detailing never gets old. So much life and eye-candy. The barrack is excellent! Hats off to both of you!

Hurray! Thank you Ayrlego for bringing Hojaroja to town status. It's great to see Otoño grow!

Like your previous build, this is absolutely gorgeous. The sheer size of the tree is an awesome aspect of the build, and like you said, those Autumn colors are always nice! Similarly to the postal build, I love the stonework and woodwork you do, it really feels like a lot of work was put into it and it's alive. Your builds have been truly amazing to see and there is nothing more I could have asked for. Cheers!

That's genius, I love it!

So gooood! I've been keeping a close eye on your wonderful reworks of the old sets, and to see them all together is a great display of your creative part usage and curvature. You did a fantastic job keeping the old feel for the sets while still incorporating all the new pieces. By far my favorites are the 6842 and 452 reworks, they look stunning. Your scale increase is right on. Also, got to love the fact you included the orange spaceman. Do you plan make any of them in brick?

This is absolutely gorgeous and may be one of the most inspiring and creative builds I've ever seen. Every aspect is stunning. You've truly created a masterpiece. What a great display piece as well! AMAZING work.

Wow, that's sleek! Always awesome to see Unitron mocs, and this is definitely a keeper. Great build, it really captures the original model's look!
