@Sentinel_Brix, remember the Naboo incident? You said that we are free to do anything we want with the continuity. If you prefer Kashyyk to be under Imperial control, I don't think anyone shall be against it. In fact, I wanted Rax to visit Kashyyk at some point, and celebrating Life Day is a nice reason to do so... Please correct me if I am wrong, @MKJoshA

Here are pictures of my full current TNBA and S:TAS collections. It's been a busy year... TNBA heroes: TNBA villains (Ra's al Ghul and Ubu should've been in the S:TAS picture): S:TAS characters: Notice the 2x2 round baseplates - those minifigures are supposed to be part of my future Lego Batman board game (hope still doesn't die!) and need to be firmly attached to a potential game board. As a bonus, here is a picture of TNBA "passive" characters, who are not part of my game due to their "inability" to fight: The Marvel family, JL and B:TAS characters are still present in my collection, but I don't currently intend to post their group photos here. I am currently planning to craft a special Christmas minifigure to celebrate the holiday.

Looks very beautiful! So sad it's playset scale, though...

I agree with the last part, especially considering the fact that it was a Lego-specific hairpiece - TLBM Two-Face's damaged side looked like molten plastic, which made sense since he was a Lego minifigure in a world of Lego

I agree with @ILoveSeatron - it does look nice, especially considering the limited amount of parts.

Thank you very much for your kind words, @kuzyabricks! Good luck on designing your own ships!

So am I! Keep going!

@Professor Thaum, I highly value your admiration. Thanks!

@kuzyabricks and @Professor Thaum, thank you very much for the appreciation!

Now that I've built the Redcoat ship of my dream, I think I should post a picture of her new crew here! From left to right: the Lady, the Captain, the Lieutenant, the Admiral (my younger brother, having read books by Patrick O'Brien, suggested to make him an oppressive grumpy man), the Drummer, the Observation Officer on a Montgolfier and, of course, the Pirates of the Children seas! Sadly, the Quartermaster and Cook aren't shown, because they are still stationed ot the ship's quarterdeck, but you can see them on the pictures in the beforementioned topic

I was not satisfied with my younger brother's 31109 Pirate ship, believing it to be unrealistic. I thought that the best option for a pirate ship, built out of 31109 parts, would be a sloop. The Eurobricks Alt-Build Contest motivated me to rebuild the set and submit the result as an entry. Now I reworked my MOC with parts, not included in the set, to make it look more believable. This included adding paper sails and small cannons, and, of course, a Pirate crew! I decided to call them "Pirates of the Children seas" because of how childish they look. Nevertheless, I like the finished result - after all, they are the only Pirates I can afford now. What do you think about these guys?

Here's a new character I crafted - TNBA killer Croc. If you have noticed, I usually base my customs off TNBA designs - I don't think this one in particular is much better than the B:TAS one (though I am not a fan of the original either), I just prefer TNBA to B:TAS overall. ...I sometimes think that I am the only TNBA fan in the world. Some people may enjoy it, but somehow everyone agrees that B:TAS is better. Indeed, TAS had some gem episodes (my favourite is "Heart of ice", a tear-jerking one), but TNBA had some good stories, no stupid episodes like "I've got Batman in my basement" or "The Mechanic" (my least favourite ones are "Cult of the cat" and, ironically, "Legends of the Dark Knight", both of them being pretty solid), more mature storytelling overall (no, I am not talking about the lewdness and violence, though I don't mind them) and, IMAO, more decent animation. The show's distinctive simplified Timm style allowed the artists to minimise mistakes (let's just say some B:TAS episodes didn't have an animation as good as the beforementioned "Heart of ice"), and I like most of the redesigns and personality changes (the Riddler's redesign is outright horrid though, and I used to dislike Joker's black eyes, only now realising what a brilliant idea they were). I am a strong believer of the theory that TNBA is a completely separate, different, albeit with some similarities, continuity than B:TAS, the only media sharing it with TNBA being S:TAS. Now TLG produces TAS sets, I hope, but seriously doubt, that they would realise TNA-based ones, for how generally disliked it is. Which I think is not fair, since it deserves more love from fans... Sorry for the off-topic. I just don't really have an opportunity to express my opinion...

Maybe Superman will receive a line of sets in the second half of 2025? Perhaps we just don't know about it yet...

Thank you for the appreciation!

The Batcave we didn't need, but the Batcave we deserved... Not to mention that the Batmobile is now an old, rusty muscle car

That's outrageous! That's... fair (your point, not the situation). I currently think if we're getting an 400$ Arkham and 100$ Batcave next year, Lego DC is still alive. ...And if you dew it, I shall join you in your heroic quest to bring TLG to justice. A Nolan Batcave is the last thing we need. Even if it has a Robin Blake minifigure. A decent Ledger Joker minifigure, on the other hand, may change my mind... DC is dying. Too bad its classics aren't cult enough for TLG to produce full lines of sets, based on them. They are more nostalgia than cult, actually...

Yes, definitely good micros. Like them!

You may throw rocks at me, but I'm not disappointed in the lack of Superman sets - I just wish the Batcave is decent, no matter what it's based on (yet B:TAS Batcave would be VERY welcome for me, especially if the infamous TNBA Batgirl is included). The price suggests that it's not a Shadowbox Is Lego Marvel dying together with Lego DC? The only decent set for me is the Spider-Verse one, the rest are plain weird IMHO. Even if it is, that's not good for Lego DC

Looks very nice! Building a Rock Raiders mech out af a baby Ankylosaurus was a great idea, and you nailed it Totally agreed. That's one of the many reasons why I only build IRL

Thank you very much! Yes, that's exactly the idea - I wanted the ship to look more realistic

Thanks! I tried my best

Agreed with everything you said, sadly even with the 'tiny overpriced Arkham set' jonke

Thanks for clarifying, @Sentinel_Brix! Too bad I didn't know that Coruscant is still an Imperial world (which somehow makes sense) and is ruled by Amedda (I prefer him to Isard - the closest person to Papa Palps, after all). Rax should've contacted him! Honestly, I don't think that Theed needs any 'Imperial influence', since it's already a beautiful city with little free space. Besides, I am sure Theed is a place of historical heritage, and adding something new to it would be against the law

Thank you so much, @Franco Clarke! To be honest, my first attempt failed mostly due to my then unwillingness of using white hull parts (a stupid mistake) and lack of tan pieces (for this second version, most parts were ordered on BrickLink). Sadly, I have little imagination, but I still could add more interior details. Thanks for the suggestion! By the way, I forgot to mention that it was Your magnificent galleon that inspired me to rework my sails completely.

Looks very beautiful! The architecture of Theed is very nicely captured. Great job! How could the New Republic troops infiltrate an Imperial world unnoticed while wearing their distinctive uniforms? I know that the Empire's security measures are bad, but... it's somehow wrong, isn't it? Also, Captain Screed may be an Intelligence officer, but why is he heading to Coruscant? Are the New Republic's defences equally bad (or even worse) as the Empire's? No offence here, I'm just curious
