[M4-25 - Wretched Hive] – Golden triangle
Yperio_Bricks replied to Kalais's topic in Watto's Junkyard
Very nice cantina! I really like how the pole dancing stage is build. And those two spots add some great lightning to the scene (to the dancer). The colorful selection of exquisite liquors, illuminated from behind, looks great and sets a fitting atmosphere for the whole cantina! Great job all around -
Nice to meet you Matej Welcome to Eurobricks @Wolfgarr!

Trouble for the sales you say? I seriously wonder how the Endurance is doing? So far I never spent more than 150€ on a set and even that happend only four times or so. I didn't even buy the fantastic Mos Eisley Cantina or beautiful Rivendell. The set I spend ~400€ on must be an absolute super-duper banger and I don't see this ever happening. From a 400€ set I expect 5000+ parts and not 2800 and at least 15, better 20+ minifigs. I don't want to dive too deep into the topic, but I watch a lot of reviews of pirate sets from other companies or Pantasy and Funwhole (now Lumibricks) sets in general and I don't think Lego is able to deliver the quality and quantity (parts, prints, lightning, etc.) I would expect from a 400€ set with the competition in mind. Spending 100€ and occasionally 150€ on plastic bricks... I already feel like an idiot , but 400€, I just can't bring myself to do it. And, even more important. First and foremost I am a moccer. I build a set once, but often I don't even build a set and part it out straight away (like the two botanical sets i recently bought just for the parts, one of them being the insane 10348 Japanese Maple Tree. The palm finger leafs alone cost 27€ new at PAB). So I may build a set once and then take it apart after few days and use the parts for mocs. But a black ship... I am afraid most the parts would be useless for me. I know there were some black ships in history, but for me a Lego ship has to be brown! But enough of talking about myself I am happy for everyone who will enjoy the Pearl, but for me it is an easy pass. I am waiting for POTC 6 and hope we get a wave of playsets. Fingers crossed!

Maybe it's just my gut feeling, but has stonewars ever reported something that is not accurate? I feel like they always wait until they have "internal cofirmation" for the news they put out. Seven minifigs indeed is lackluster and leaves a lot to be desired. Arkham gets 16 minifigs for 100$ less. Anyway, for me the Pearl is an easy pass at this price point. And speaking as a moccer, the Black Pearl has one big disadvantage.... it's black! And who needs all those black pieces? I would never build a all black ship anyway! I know the Black Pearl is an icon, but because of the color I would choose any other ship over it.

[M4-25 - Rebellion] Two-faced Transaction at Luthen's Gallery
Yperio_Bricks replied to Oky's topic in Watto's Junkyard
Awesome moc of Luthen's gallery! I think my favorite part is actually the backroom with the cluttered desk and listening device. And I love that you included the quotes. They really add some itensityto the presentation Those beautiful coins really belong into an gallery or museum Had so many of them as a kid but they were all lost. It's one of the classic parts that was/is better than everything we have today in its place. -
Nice too meet you Marco! Welcome to Eurobricks @Lonestar

Tropical ports and islands display from Reading Brick Show 2025
Yperio_Bricks replied to Franco Clarke's topic in Pirate MOCs
Beautiful display! I always really it it when ships are displayed together with a proper port. The island adds a lot to the scene too! But what really caught my attention is that paddle steamer gunboat. That one looks fun! -
Beautiful moc and such a peaceful one! I love the green color for the half-timbered house. That's a color we do not see very often used for this, but it works great together with the brown timbers and thatched roof. And I very much like how all the minifigs have their work to do, like feeding the animals, carying water, pick the hops. Great moc all around!

LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Yperio_Bricks replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Exactly! I even read at reddit that we are in a golden age lmao. Exactly! When you look at Star Wars, all the movies, shows and media.... How is it possible that such a small group of people dictate everything within the community? Damn Lannisters This kriffin' clone kriff has to stop! I hope Lego goes bankrupt My only hope for now are the upcomming movies. If Lego makes sets for the movies there won't be any clones right? Right? But okay, all these untiteled projects and future movies... we'll see what they will bring us. The current situation is just so frustrating! But at least I'll save a lot of money. Maybe I'll buy a bicycle instead of Lego -
LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Yperio_Bricks replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I really start to hate Lego Star Wars. The least thing they could do is a rebrand: Lego Buildable Character Clone Wars. For the mental wellbeing of mankind it would have been better if clones never existed in Star Wars. Just sayin' At this point I am not exited at all to learn about next year's sets. The only question is how much of a horror it will be: big horror or bigger horror. Sorry for this rant, but what the heck is going on with Lego Star Wars?!? -
Beautiful diorama There's so much going on! Readbeard's pirates take the imperials by surprise! The gallows must wait. And I guess that one pirate had too much booze haha

Welcome to Eurobricks @Brickstone_City Great to have you aboard! Your Mocs and photography truely look amazing Your use of fog and lightning is next level and creates some very atmospheric scenes! So good!

Another amazing brickfilm of yours! Great visual effects and I also like the sound effects very much. Although I must admit, for the battle of Sevastopol, I miss the heavy German artillery and the large Soviet fortifications. But maybe these will be featured in the next part!

LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Yperio_Bricks replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I think the minifig scale dioramas, such as the trash compactor or Dagobah or okay But only because I see them as enhanced play scale sets. All the other 18+ lines I would dismiss Since I left my dark ages a couple years ago I bought 34 different Lego Star Wars sets: one 18+ set, 32 play scale sets and one advent calendar. For me play sets or play scale includes microfighters and battlepacks and some of the old planet series which I was able to pick up in a store 10 years after they retired (or whatever the number of years is ). The only 18+ set i got is the Dagobah diorama - because it's minifig scale! Of the 34 sets I bought the most expensive ones where Boba's Palace, the Scythe and the Resistance I-TS Transport all at an RRP of €99.99. (I bought them at varying discounts.) So long story short, I basically only buy LSW play scale sets with minifigs between €10 - €100. Maybe I am in the minority nowadays but If Lego continues their 18+ path, I am going to buy less and less Lego Star Wars sets And it's not that I am going to buy many more sets from other themes instead because the minifigs are an important part for me and other themes do not have Star Wars minifigs... (And there are no max €99 pirates or castle sets in which I would be interested in). -

2025/26 Castle [wishlist/speculation]
Yperio_Bricks replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yes, that's the arguments that usually get repeated in forums and blogs but I am sorry, I don't buy that anymore. Lego is introducing new parts all the time, so there is no problem at all. Even new colors from time to time. I still remember the interview in which the designer was talking about limited storage containers rofl. Granted, many of these new parts purely serve the purpose to get them registered so competitors can't use them. Because when you register a part in Europe the part in question is NOT checked at all. [EDIT: The EUIPO checks if the application is formally correct.] Only later at court if a case is opened. -
2025/26 Castle [wishlist/speculation]
Yperio_Bricks replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I could go on and on. See the 6021 Jousting Knights. Here it is even more blatant! Just two knights, their two horses and weaponry. A set like this is impossible for Lego nowadays. And the reason is: Lego does not want people to get a simple set like this. A simple set which already offers some fun playing experience. As kids in the 90s we would often have our knights jousting each other and we would move them slowly towards each other on the floor and I would hope my brothers knight would topple and fall off the horse. Then we would slightly adjust the angle of the shield so the opponents lance would slide off to the side and start the next round. But Lego only want people to buy the expensive sets like LKC or the Medieval Town Square. It's the same for many themes. I have to stop now or I get more angry picture from brickset Okay, but why molded horses are so expensive in the first place? I want to understand why the production of a small plastic horse in 2025 can be so expensive. I wish we would get an official statement Why does the plain white chicken costs 46 cent at PAB while the printed chicken costs 2,45€? Printing the chicken is worth 2 Euros? What are the real costs to print the chicken? I would like to understand! -

Yperio_Bricks replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Picture from brickset Back in the day, when building blocks as a mass product were still fresh and innocent and greed had not yet creeped in (I am exaggerating but you get what I mean) they tried to maximize playability, despite the limited parts that the designers had at hand in comparison to what is available nowadays. Of course the heavy prison wagon gets a sufficient number of horses and of course the knight gets its own horse. So it's only logical the set has 5 horses! I mean, take this question to the streets and ask 100 people how many horses such a set should have. Most people would say at least three horses, no? Nowadays all horses would get removed from the set and Lego would add a chain or handcuffs and every minifig must walk
