Interesting thoughts. I remember the drama on classic-space around nnenn and the 'mutant hive' in about 2008 or 2009. I also remember my little sister had a bucket of megabloks that were not only in disgusting colours but didn't click well with legitimate LEGO bricks. I think I'll stay away from providing an opinion.

I like it! It's got all the right setpieces, it's got the right look. The sized-down X- and Y-wings look just great too. A loving recreation in every way!
-
It's gorgeous. Nothing else really to say. The tiny offsets on the hull are great, the docking bay is perfect, just wow!
-
I think 2000 is up there. Knight's Kingdom and Arctic were mindblowing for my little brain at the time.

Sometimes some of these wacky sets have a great price per part. I think some of the complaints have to do with the theme. There were those Star Wars sets a few years ago that let you swap wings and fuselages of a few different vehicles: that's OK. If it's City, apparently it's not. The remix feature doesn't appeal to me particularly to be honest, but the builds themselves look solid. That's a sick submarine!

The "Greatest Innovation of the Past Half Century"?
jimmynick replied to ShaydDeGrai's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Surely it has to be the headlight brick. Released 1980, opened a whole world of new building possibilities. -
Sets like the Friends cafe, Yellow Submarine, the original Ecto-1, the Goonies, etc.: all Ideas

I meant more like the promo is meant to be on until tomorrow, and there was no mention of the GWP even when it was possible to backorder the Creel house. I guess it's gone and being memoryholed
-
Now that I've seen the new season and looked up the set, I'm a bit disappointed to see it's already sold out online (and at my nearest physical shop). Any news on whether the GWP is coming back?

I few weeks I presented the Old West Carriage but that was really a distraction from (or accompaniment to) this project. Inspired initially by Eva Miller's boardinghouse in 'Salem's Lot, where Ben Mears rents a room with a view on the top floor. Inspired to an extent also by Heaven's Gate and Blood Meridian. Enjoy! Technique for the chairs taken from Michael Jasper. Thanks for looking!

Now and then I see one of these old Bentleys puttering around and they always turn one's head. Nice build - although I'd recommend blacking out the front grille (including the 1x2 bracket plate), or perhaps instead using the chrome grille tiles.
-
The colour works really well. It's a creative build and I rather like the minifig-shaped rocks underneath one of the islands. Based on the beard, is it mean to be one of the Ninjago characters?

[MOC] Forestmen's River Fortress | Remaster
jimmynick replied to Kozikyo86's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yep, what a good scaling up and reimagining of the original! I love that you've left the back open to access the interior - really helps with the playability of the whole MOC, and I like your choice to leave some (random?) studs bare on the ground floor to resemble rough stones. Maybe I should do something with my copy of the GWP? -
Thank you all for your kind words! I hope this cutout view helps somewhat - there's no interior as such as all the space is given over to laminating plates together to achieve the SNOT in the 5-wide geometry.

At the risk of necro-posting, I've been watching lots of movies lately. The most recent one is the 'ultimate cut' of Watchmen.
