I rather enjoyed the new movie and there were some setpieces that could have turned into sets; shame TLG haven't put out a full wave. I mean, isn't that how it works for most major media tie-ins?

This is a really attractive build. You've integrated the modern architecture well and you've really captured the likeness of the original building. Well done.

Wild! The stairs and ramps are really something, both at ground level and on the top. Nice work and thanks for sharing a slightly more unconventional building.

Respectfully, these are massive red flags. I wouldn't get involved with someone advertising a private chat group on eBay, and if you can't find the post it's possible it was deleted by someone who shares my suspicions. If you join such a group and you don't see them scamming someone, they're probably scamming you. I get WhatsApp messages from time to time inviting me to join crypto groups with "investing tips" and the like — delete them immediately, every time.

Eeth Koth and Queen Amidala are probably the most valuable ones. To an extent, though, I am more jealous of your Phase I clones. I've never found myself in a position to buy a set containing them.

Cute little build, I like it! The gondola looks great.

This is really cute! I love the different shapes and sizes of mushroom.

It's a cute build and the train is lovely, but apart from the loco nothing about it particularly screams 'England'

Those are some really cute main street buildings! They've got exactly the right vibe. I love the station as well. Happy building!

Damn I must have seen some his content when I lurked there as long as 18 years ago . Welcome back to EB and thanks for sharing your model! The way you made the central radiator (?) section out of those ladders is really neat. I think calling this the "least interesting" vehicle is slightly unfair but, whatever the case, this is a wonderful rendition.

This is really cute. I love the cockpit glass and the vaguely M-tron colour scheme!

Do we really need a thread dedicated to slagging people off? Who even watches LEGO youtube content? Why not bully people in the comment sections of their videos, where they can respond to your lily-livered sniping?

I love the new pics! What a cute MOC, and the hexagonal shape looks practically perfect with the wedge plates attached on clips

This is because of how emojis work — you've got regular emojis and what's called the Zero Width Joiner that lets you join emoji characters together to make new emojis, and the trans flag is one of them. If your platform (phone OS, messaging app, forum software) supports the special emoji, you see what you mean to see. But if not, the platform can only render the individual emojis that make up the new emoji — this is the same reason that you get lots of box-with-question-mark gobbledegook when you send emojis to older phones — they can't render the characters. Helpfully, there's a list of emojis that use this special character, which you can find here: https://emojipedia.org/emoji-zwj-sequence/ There's already one answer and I'm aware your question is a bit older now, but I can recommend Mecabricks. It's an in-browser building software (which naturally has disadvantages, like having to be connected to the internet to save, etc.) but it's very flexible with the positioning and orientation of bricks in a model. Unlike LDD and stud.io, which (helpfully) detect collisions but unhelpfully insist in come cases a configuration cannot be built, Mecabricks (and other heavier-duty softwares like LDraw) allow bricks to clip through each other. In these cases it's up to the user to ensure a MOC is buildable.

Can't remember if I've said it before but even so it bears repeating because it grinds my gears: NOT EVERY NICE MOC NEEDS TO BE AN IDEAS PROJECT

I'm so on board with this — give me a turn-of-the-millennium Boba Fett fig over anything new, for example.

I have to admit, I don't know much about the beachfront in Honolulu. But when I saw this on the front page, I thought 'is Diamond Head there?' and indeed it is. You can count me happy. Nice build!

This is an interesting thought — I'd always assumed it was because hairpieces with sharp edges or fine details ran the risk of breaking if made from ABS (for instance the Dr. Inferno hairpiece https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=agt013). Can you speak at all to the practicality of modeling hairpieces with rubber rather than ABS? It seems to me that ABS is just fine for fine detail as far as casting etc. goes.

While this topic is alive, I'd like to share the sentiments of everyone else that the fall of MOCpages was such a sad and drawn-out process. What a shame to see it go! I spent ever so much time on there when I was ten or so.

Really atmospheric. Looks like it could easily have been a set on the movie. I particularly like how effectively you constructed the cow-elephant thing — gorgeous to look at. Lovely presentation & thanks for sharing.

I got the recent AT-AT and the snowtrooper battle pack. Pretty excited.

Thank you for this information!

What's the significance of the numbered tape on the box? The set that TBB reviewed read "10O2" while mine reads "19O2".

You’re right Bob - there was a time when day threads would be tens of pages long. Now people are less active then perhaps it may be a good choice to let game days last longer to allow people (read: lazy oiks like me) play at a more sedate pace.

I've finally ordered a couple of sets I've had on my mind for six months in order to get the GWP. When I returned to LEGO in around 2005 and learned about all the classic themes etc. Forestmen is one that really stood out to me. I'm glad it's coming back in this little form, and that I can grab a piece of it.
