    With so many good ideas, there could be a new bonus every 3 months. But maybe that would be to hard to keep track of? Ok great! Maybe we can collect some ideas, suggestions, etc. I guess you guys could simply create a new thread for your collaboration/WIP. Or keep it to DMs when it should stay hidden from the worl for now

    The Sarlacc pit started at 79,99€ at Smyths, dropped to 69,99€ after just a few days and now is already down to 62,99€ (Yeah, i visit their website often ). Sometimes sets get released with a discount right away.
  3. Yperio_Bricks
    Yeh, i wish we would hear more about the future game

    I never ever see "old" sets when i am at Smyths. In small toy shops i have found sets 5 or even 10 years after they officially retired. That would be impossible at Smyths. So they must sell every single shelf-warmer? I'll keep an eye on the 75257 Millennium Falcon, a set that has been around since 2019 and which will retire at the end of this year. I want to know how long it will stay on shelves next year(s) at my local Smyths. Discount for the set is currently 26%, that is in the aforementioned range of 20%-30%.

    How many % off are we talking about? Here at Smyths in Germany the Onyx Cinder is 11% off currently. Here it is pretty much normal for most sets to settle at around 20%-30% off after some time. But it hardly ever drops more than that. I still remeber the picture of a whole pallet of 75326 Boba Fett's Throne Room with something like 70% off. I think it was from the US and the picture was posted in the forum. That is not possible here in Germany and i wonder what happens to all the unsold sets at Smyths?

    I see no other way of connecting the ocean plates than using overlapping tiles. Is it possible for you to raise the ocean level, so you can connect the ocean plates with technic pins? That's the way i would use for a large layout. It's more parts intensive though. trans blue tiles plate brick / technic brick baseplate Here is an example of what i mean from a Rogue Bricks collab (picture by Jonas / stonewars)

    Hehe yeah, look how that account voted last time... It's funny that this happens again after the shenanigans that happend around MyFirstMOC-Hun last year...

    And i thought he is using the telephone apparatus (just kiddin' )

    What a beautiful train this is So much details at this scale, it's perfect!
  10. Yperio_Bricks
    Yep, the set is perfect I really wish Lego would make such sets for licensed themes like LotR or PotC. But it seems impossible nowadays. I wonder why? Lego tries to protect the minifig at all cost, but on the other hand fail to meet the demand.

    Yep Just something to break up the barren roof. Or raise the white border by one plate and then tile the whole roof? But as i have said, it's just a little nitpick. I really like this 1950s small town style of the building.

    This sounds fantastic! Will definitely pay Aetwelt a visit some day
  13. Yperio_Bricks
    How come?
  14. Yperio_Bricks
    I don't get the argument that Andor is not aimed at kids enough to justify getting sets while we get so many sets aimed at adults nowadays. Just build a black border around a playset (maybe add some details and a plaque), call it diorama, add 20% the price and voilà, it's an 18+ set! I'm still waiting for an Pre-Mor battlepack. While Andor was such a cool series and i loved the vibe, the concept of Pre-Mor impressed me the most.

    The game is running some time now and maybe we can generally collect some feedback? @MKJoshA We are currently in season 1 of the game, right? When do you think season 1 will end and the next season will start? Maybe the transition time between seasons would be a good opportunity to apply changes that we all might come up with after considering feedback etc.? What do you guys think?

    Someone posted a picture of a page from the Polish version of the magazine which shows the old Boba and wrote "The special edition magazine that comes AFTER the Vader one VERY LIKELY will include the original boba fett (IF the special magazine will be released in the first place) Very likely So Sabine is real after all Hope to get her after TIE pilot. It's truely a mess when everything is out of sync so much.

    I never watched the Goonies and hear about the Inferno for the first time but when i look it up i find ships like this one: Looks pretty good EDIT: Ok, now that i saw the backside of the fan model i have to change my mind. Not that the idea is bad, but now i doubt we will get a proper ship.
  18. Yperio_Bricks
    I must admit, i am also not very happy about the starfighter bonus..... because i will never ever build one
  19. Yperio_Bricks
    Great moc and another fun story! I really like the different architectural styles of the towers. The beast that is using the elephant body is just great! Is that something you made up or do the Kinyen Phont exist in Star Wars? Is that the name of the beast? I couldn't find anything. And surely the story on Aetwelt continues, right?
  20. Yperio_Bricks
    Fantastic moc with many details! And beautiful photography I also very much like how you present the moc in the video, especially the scenes where you shift the focus
  21. Yperio_Bricks
    Thanks for tagging, it's hard to keep up with everything! I like the garage very much! The blue and white color scheme works great and the yellowed bricks add some variety. I also like that the garage door and windows share the same style. The garage sign looks great too! My only nitpick would be the roof. It looks a bit plain. Maybe some antennas, a hatch for roof access or something like that could help to break up the grey area? Maybe even an AC unit?
  22. Yperio_Bricks
    To me the suburbs looked more like Star Trek, not Star Wars. The rest of the trailer looked good though The Shistavanen wolfman pirate looks fantastic! Hope we get a nice minifig with a detailed head (but please more mature than the D&D creatures from the minifig series).
  23. Yperio_Bricks
    Ha! Totally forgot to comment on this. I love the swamp skiff! But it almost looks a bit overladen with so many people on board Also a nice shot of Xher in the cockpit. Aetwelt seems to be a interesting planet! I might want to put a moc there too in the future. Can't wait too see Shag City!

    In a German forum they posted the sales data for the Lego magazines and while the LSW magazine was on top of the charts in the first quarter of 2024, the LSW magazine sales data for the second quarter was not reported at all. This might indicate a sharp drop of sales. All other Lego Magazines massively droped in sales too. Looks like all the price increases we had recently are taking their toll. So far I bought only one issue of the LSW magazine this year, the one with Palpatine. A sharp drop when i compare it with previous years where I used the magazines to build a collection of minifigures (to put into mocs).

    I am not calling for an actual boycott. I just expressed an unpopular opinion of mine. It is not possible anyway. It is not possible in this day and age for humans to act as one and show them companies who is the boss
