    The combination of teeth and lips don't look very LEGO-like to me. The tiny eyes in some also look a bit off.

    The feed is sorted (see the B+P thread in licensed), it's the bot that I need!

    As well as helmets and armour, you can vary arm colours to change the sleeves of the outfit too, and also vary the leg colours to change the length of the tabard, or have different chain mail showing on the legs. Then have some with swords, some with quivers and bows and arrows, some with pikes, and so on and soon they look quite varied even though the torso is the same each time.

    Yeah, but I hope they don't go out of stock by 3.35am every time they come in at 3.30am!

    Most capes used to be available if you called in. I've bought licensed capes in bulk in the past.

    It is also simple to add the burnt versions too, if that is what you are into.

    This is a good point. I think we are very lucky to be getting two Black Falcons. Creator sets could easily be done with no specific printed parts (aside from heads) at all, so just getting some desirable torsos (because they already exist) is good.

    I think the roof is the downside. It is almost two decades since those parts were produced and without them the build is completely changed.

    I don't think that is what LEGO wants. They like that people build the pictured set and never break it up. As it means they buy more sets, and still more. There is a view that it is paper, so can be sustainably sourced and is recyclable, no matter how much ink is on it or how much fuel is needed to transport it. (Single use) plastic bad, paper good.

    Not all locations have set names and numbers of parts on the box. Look at the Creator pirate ship https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DZGMqGUtIym4&ved=2ahUKEwibnLvguJrwAhUVlFwKHRcmAOUQxa8BegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw0Oeit0BLnYIoYCBBFJolqE

    No chance. This isn't a preliminary image, it is a leak of the box art. It is final.

    I find most old soldier style and peasant type torsos work quite well. I think most that I use a lot of have been mentioned... Some need bits returning/replaced. I use this blue Chinese torso for Figwit. I can't spot his normal dark blue legs though. Theoden and frightening knight torsos Hun Even evil knights work well, but for armour you need short hair.

    Have you seen LEGO's website recently, the bit where it says adults welcome? Or the ages printed on boxes such as Sesame Street and Winnie the Pooh? Or do you mean children only, including aged 18+ children that haven't grown up.

    This is cut and paste directly from the rules: You MAY NOT SELL ANYTHING related to your Product Idea. You may share photos and building instructions free of charge on your own website and online profiles. However you may not sell building instructions, custom kits, or anything related to your product idea. We will remove product ideas without notice if we learn you are commercializing content submitted to LEGO Ideas.

    I doubt that is true. The theme is now 10 years old. That would mean most current fans are something like 16+ or 18+ if they have been into it when it first came out. But current Ninjago sets sell very well to kids. I can understand that many AFOLs into it now would have also been into it when it first came out, but not the same for kids. Most kids getting it now were probably not born or under 2 when it came out.
  16. MAB
    Or ask for feedback from sites such as this before submission. Very few people that eventually post an IDEAS submission here do that.

    The money off future purchase vouchers are exactly the same as the old scheme. The points awarded and what the vouchers cost are different, but money for money they are the same.

    Really? I used to buy a fair bit from Japan and never had to pay export fees. Import fees to the UK government, yes. But not export fees to the Japan government.

    If Ninjago is always a competitor to whatever new big bang themes they try, then Ninjago will probably win out just through inertia. They don't go into producing Chima or NK or other themes thinking they won't be successful. So they would have to compete on the shelves.

    This is the problem of sticking something on there, then only thinking about making changes after it is published. Your submission is along the lines of all Natives Americans are the same thing, mixing up the different cultures into one generic view. That is why some people will see it as racist. If LEGO made this it would be a white view of what natives are, taking stereotypes from different cultures, mix it all up and make money off them.

    There is quite a bit of void space inside bricks especiallywhen added up across a model. You can add whatever dense putty you have into the bricks, so long as they still stack. I wouldn't do it on expensive or rare parts, but cheap 1x4s or whatever are cheap enough to modify. It also has the advantage that you can add weight where it is needed to keep good balance rather than putting it where is convenient.
  22. MAB
    You can give them out, just not sell them.

    Kingdoms and Fantasy Era peasants are a great source, but they are expensive. I don't think the monkey torso (green with vines) is that good for this.

    Finally an official Aunt Beru!

    B&M also had them, they were £2.49 each on release.
