  1. Unfortunately there is a slim chance despite common sense. The comment section on that article is an absolute mess. One of the worst parts about the current American Political regime is that it brings out the worst in everyone.
  2. That poster was so close to being great, even just as something you could chop up to test layouts with. Harumph. For those who aren't opposed to MOC modulars, I spotted one on Rebrickeable the other week that I thought was.. okay. Not bad, bookmarked it as a possibility for the future and moved on. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-207051/rebricks/vinyl-record-store-psychiatrists-office/#details However, the designer video popped up in my feed, and I watched it right through. It's really well thought out. It's a definite add to my shelf city in the future.
  3. Oh, here's the 4th review (the Merchant Boat). A bit extended, as it includes a timelapse build. Review proper starts at 6:40 It also gives an interesting insight into how Lego sends the sets to reviewers in a big aul' mess of a bag. The boat is massive! Too big for me, but looks good. Oh yes I remember this now. I think I must have blocked him at the time, because I'd forgotten him completely.
  4. The set is growing on me but good grief this is an awful review. Does he even like Lego? He sounds so bored, keeps letting the camera focus slip, calls things the wrong names.. I got a better idea of the set from the 30 seconds snapshot in Tiago's review of the Scholars set. I am not sold at all. I'm thinking I'll bricklink the parts for the modules here that interest me, and save my wallet for the next series.
  5. Excellent choice of head for the atmosphere you were after. Of course, it's excellent all round, but I do love the head!
  6. Rebrickeable to the rescue, if that's what you're after. https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-208858/Kuragari1/tudor-corner-timber-floor-furnished/#details

  8. The 'Unread Follows' link is much faster now, thanks. That was always a bugbear for me. I'd click, then potter off to do something in a different tab while it loaded. Nice work.
  9. Minor issue, in the old version there was the functionality where you could click on the header to return to the main view of the forums. i.e. clicking anywhere in this area (from any page) was the equivalent of clicking the 'forums' tab also in picture. [img]https://i.imgur.com/wJCzEgH.jpeg[/img] Not major as I said, but muscle memory is difficult to retrain. Also it would seem bbcode for img tags aren't how they used to be.
  10. I mean, I kinda see where you're coming from but if Lego went too strictly your direction the problems would be just as bad if not worse. Say I want to build a forest scene, but now I'm restricted to the exact same green on every bit of foliage. I'd much rather be curtailed by too much choice compared to too little.
  11. I know this is the unpopular opinions thread, but I can usually see where someone is coming from even if I disagree. I don't understand that one though - paring back the palette. Whats the benefit? Why not just use the colours you prefer within the expanded palette? Do you expect the range of available bricks in the base colours to be wider if there were less colours? Not trying to argue, I just don't understand it.
  12. I don't think it's really the way they should do a CMF, but I know what I want are variants of the existing factions - similar to the way the Black Falcons got a Falconer, or the new Wolfpack figure. These slightly varied legs or torsos then allow for variety in armies (of whatever size). But as I mentioned, that doesn't need to be a CMF line.
  13. While I don't think Ill be shelling out this round, the promo for the Siege Weapons popped up in my feed and it's well made.
  14. I input an item with a fake email. The offered prices are terrible compared to what you could sell for on Bricklink. But I suppose that's the model.
  15. I checked on a different PHP forum I used to admin, and the setting was under: Admin Control Panel > Users and Groups (tab) > Manage Ranks
  16. After much hunting I found the three Wolfpack figs I was chasing in a small local toy store. Every big box place was picked clean. I was looking for the torso & legs but I gotta say the wolf is chunkier than I expected. As for scanner apps, I'll also say OMGbricks was the best one I used, as it allows you scan multiple boxes at once instead of needing to do them one by one. Not useful but mildly interesting, it also counts your total scans and tallies the results per figure. I made over 400 attempts in this app alone D:
  17. That seems .. unnecessary? It's pushed the price up to an amount I am unwilling to pay. I don't think I was buying this one regardless, but now I'm certainly not. I like the improvements to the Seaside harbor - the modularity of it, and the rear view went unnoticed to me before. I don't think I'm quite on board with purchasing though. I may save my money for the next series as both Tortuga & Transylvania are high on my list.
  18. Well, whatever way they have their ads embedded got around my blocker, so the site has been added to my blocklist instead, I'll just never be able to visit at all. You'd think a site devoted to Lego as a hobby would care about general design ethos a bit more.
  19. Good god, how many ads can one website cram in.
  20. It would not be unprecedented though. See the X-Mansion with Xavier, and the launch GWP that came with.. another Xavier.
  21. Having watched the War of the Rohirrim, I have some hope for an Edoras set. It would have the same issues as Rivendell - in that it's just too much to accurately portray - but I do think the Lego design team could capture the spirit of the location without every little detail required.
  22. Followed you there. The Spectaculum & Willow, I remember supporting your work before!
