  1. @Murdoch17That's a fine steamer with classic vibes! Well done! Some minor suggestions (but only my personal view): The proportions might be better with the deckhouses being not 6, but only 5 bricks high (and one or two row of plates/tiles). I think the more modern 6 brick-height is too much compared to minifgs. What about a crane at the foremast and some extra cargospace in front of the deckhouse (say 4 rows of studs plus)? A bit like this:
  2. Thank you very much! I see your point and Iβ€˜m aware of this discussion. I myself see Adventurers as a pretty accurate historical theme with a setting in the 1920s. But at the same time it has some phantasy aspects: the living mummy (Pharao Hotep) in the Desert subtheme, Achu or the living dinos from Dino Island. The Dragon Fortress (set 7419) itself has a living dragon in its dungeon. Iβ€˜m fine with that. So My Green Dragon has itβ€˜s rider. 😁
  3. @aFrInaTi0nI suggest closing this thread. Every post by @AFOL Consumer Rightsreads as it was AI generated: the wordings, the structure, the line of arguments, the opening of each post, the non-fixed link etc. Forum members shouldnβ€˜t discuss with AI or a bot.
  4. Love it!!! The blue rock terrain gives a perfect base for this scene.
  5. This is my MOD of set 71829. I used the rebrickable instruction made by rebrickable user "mmsykwalker". https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-259544/mmskywalker/better-poseable-green-dragon/#details His instructions are awesome! The Green Dragon is now part of my Dragon Fortress layout. On his back sits one of the Dragon Fortress Guards. In this pose the Green Dragon and his rider remind of the Fell Beast and the Nazgul (set 40693). Set 71829 is a small but very nice set. A real gem. Sometimes Ninjago has some very useful sets and parts for our beloved Adventurers. As always, comments and critics are very welcome.
  6. This is my minifig Raya: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFa_tdPo4EO/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  7. Well, for me itβ€˜s perfect as an expedition truck. I will give it bigger wheels and mudguards in the style of the 2017 City Jungle trucks using part 28326 as mudguard.
  8. The torso print of the steampunk balloon pilot has some identical details as the torso print of the steampunk inventor from CMF S27: the gauge on the left shoulder and the airtank on the back (balloon pilot) or the chest (inventor) are the same.
  9. Yes, itβ€˜s a cool set! Set 60512 gives us a modern explorersβ€˜ truck.
  10. Just saw it in a Lego Store today: The Dragonborn Paladin (without armour) is available as a key chain for 5,99€. Bricklink: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=854331#T=S&O={"iconly":0}
  11. Drinks and gold ... nice shot and a great gang. Love the piratish use of set 43223.
  12. That's a very nice line-up!
  13. I quoted the press release because I wasn't aware that one third of TLG's revenues comes from adults. TLG was a toy company but seemingly have changed their portfolio massively. I just didn't know to what extend ...
  14. Yesterday, the annual Toy Fair in Nuremberg/Germany started. See this press release dealing with "toys for kidults": https://www.spielwarenmesse.de/fileadmin/SWM_Dateien/PDF/Presse/Pressemappe/Press_Release_Spielwarenmesse_2026_Toys_for_Kidults_en.pdf Quote (bold by me): So almost one third of the toy market is for (young) adults.
  15. You're right. It's in set 11202 (in tan). I totally missed that. And it's on PaB for 3,07 € ...
  16. Seems we get a new 5w 6w piece (I have to correct myself, I counted wrong) to fit two minifig seats - like the classic Adventurers' cockpit piece. Lets see if we can use it for Adventurers' vehicles.
  17. I share your thoughts. The walls and towers seem to be too small for proper minifig scale.
  18. I'm very lucky now. My PaB order went through. I ordered half a dozen horse and snake knights each (torsos, legs and shields). This is my typical amount of "army" building - one or two knights and four soldiers of a faction. ( I didn't order the horse knight's crown because I think it's too expensive.)
  19. Just regocnized it today: Modern Johnny Thunder from set 60470 and the soapbox racer girl from set 60459 are basically the same minifig as both use the same torso (except of the colour of the hands) and legs:
