    yeah im working with an simmilar one right now, hoping to upgrade to one of those specilized art tablet-pad things over the summer. im just gonna sketch on paper and snap a pic btw there should be a color gradient behind the t in the shaded area, and i did it up kinda like the logo you'd see on the box because i had a few minutes to spare.

    if you want something unique but also more classic, i'd say go with something simpler. like the m-tron logo. a circle, or maybe to invoke the repair theme, an octagonal "bolt", with a t inside it that has a color fade or something, and then the cs arrow thing around it, possibly throwing in a black or white outline around that. id do up a sketch but my tablet is being shakey right now. on this design, i love the design, but it feels a bit too complex for the more classic feel of your sets.

    idk, to me it looks like "titanium" falcon is just falcon with a bit of armor, not necessarily a new or rebuilt one.

    not sure if it helps much since its only in dark bluish grey, but there is a 2x2 inverted tile with the antistuds smoothed out and studs on the bottom, easiest way to get a couple i think is the ninjago fire mech. about this ship, it looks amazing. really nothing else to say, the lines all flow well, the color contrast with the white is great, and the pincer is really cool, so just, it looks awesome!

    i could see glados still being in the game, just as an antagonist in the portal levels, not as a playable character. however, depending on the way the game works we could possibly get instructions for her, if its like the movie game where you can unlock instructions for in game builds by finding the golden boxes. off topic, but i haven't heard news of any oz sets coming in the future, the inclusion of that in game could just be because warner owns it, but as far as i know warner does not have license for portal, so does this mean licensed portal sets are likley in the future?

    on the "vehicles they dont own" thing, arent these supposedly based on the new show? i doubt lego would do scooby doo without that show coming out, other than an ideas set, so id have to assume so. for all we know mystery inc may have these vehicles in the new one. atleast the motorcycle doesnt seem too out there for them to have. also shaggy having a highly wealthy family in several continuities could play a factor in them having these in the new one. also, since the show is supposedly going to be a way more wacky version then last time, they could have a transforming mystery machine like in "shaggy and scooby doo get a clue", explaining the plane. i mean i may be way off, but that could be why. also on the vehicles thing, they could always give the monsters themed vehicles that dont really exist, like a ufo for space kook, or some kinda mine cart with an engine for the 49'er, that kinda thing? i dont see a reason why they wouldnt do that if they wanted to make more vehicles.

    im betting it will be a core (likely wheatley), and maybe a cube, i doubt glados would be a build, there would be no in game use. with a core they can plug into machines, with cubes or turrets, well those are obvious, but what use would you have to actively put your own enemy into the game? also, holy crud i cant belive i was actually right about portal coming in!

    1-marty mcfly 2-homer 4- possibly the doctor (10 or 11 maybe?) or one of the ghostbusters, atleast from speculation ive read so far. 5-wicked witch 25-jay 26-nya 27-zane 28-golunm 29-legolas 30-gimmli and im still convinced 3 is chell, just considering the thing in her hand and the flesh tone.

    its pulled from a low quality pic of the games box, sorry, if i can find a higher quality one ill post it up.

    anyone else see this? its apparently the full (at least, full as of release) character roster for the game. now, i can make out most of the already shown ones, plus some simpsons, and i think a few chima figs, although i could be wrong on those, but what really interests me is number 3. is that chell from portal? flesh tone skin, white shirt, orange lower body, and holding what looks like a white tube with blue at the end, which could be a portal gun. i know that seems way out of left field, but we got wizard of oz figs, and didn't a portal project reach 10,000 on ideas a while back? could this be them acting on that? sorry if im like, way off here, but that's the only one i can tell that doesn't fit into an existing theme other than the oz figs, and the only thing i can see it being is chell. discuss away i guess, and sorry if this should go into the non physical thread, just figured since all of these are likely to be released as physical figs may as well put it here/

    current lower body, using the above mentioned torso joint, with slight mods, and the hip/legs ive gotten working. i need to double up jointing on the forward/back joint in the shoulder, and the ankles still need more work, but this comes the closest of all my attempts so far to actually supporting the body. you guys have any sugestions for improvements before i start armoring it up? im thinking axel piston bits at the sides of the knees and ankle to stabilize those more, but no clue how much that would help.
  12. mrfang2
    well, i had to add 2 of the axel olding piston bits to the sides to give it more friction, but the thing actually works perfectly! what im looking for is a compact way to connect the hip and the waist together. btw, did i ever thank you for that waist design? because you probably saved me like a month of work designing that thing its amazing!
  13. mrfang2
    thanks, but ive actually tested that one, didnt work, like, at all. unfortunately. thing flopped down and shattered, and that one was only half the size it is now. i realize i shouldve given a reference for what was being held up... its this so far, plus 2 large cranes on the back, and fairly hefty arms as well.
  14. mrfang2
    okay, ive been working on building a full sized version of the construct-o-mech from the lego movie. not acurate, but the right size atleast. anyway, im having a ton of trouble coming up with the hip joint on the model. what i need is something like this: im currently using these as the main actual joint type in the design, as from what ive found its the most sturdy joint type lego has. but those leave an odd amount of length between the axis for the outward and forward/backward movement, and make it impossible to build the hip around. in short, anyone have any ideas for a hip joint that can hold up a lot of weight? im kinda new at technic building, so nothing ive come up with has worked.
  15. mrfang2
    yeah, i'm sure there's a ton of stuff, especially in this model, that is impossible, really i should've said "movie size" not movie accurate. wow, thanks! looks like i should have all the parts to try out both of these tonight!
  16. mrfang2
    okay, im taking on the project of building the full, movie size construction mech from the end of the lego movie, but have run into a big problem. theres a fairly complex looking technic build working as the midsection of the torso and the joint that supports the entire upper body, and i cant figure out how to build it. i dont have a great knowlage of technic, so i was wondering if i could get help from you guys here in the technic forum id'ing the parts and how they are used. im sorry, i know these arent the best shots of it, but this is about all i could find showing the darn thing.

    my store has awesome service here in nc. i go there a lot so most of the employees have actually taken the time to get to know me (i suspect rare for tfol?) and have, several times actually (the invasion from below queen and combo mech, bennys spaceship, and the exo suit) held products for me because they thought i would probably be in that week and would want one, have listened to my requests and got windows on the PaB wall a second time, and one of the guys even told me about the bionicle return really soon after the first pics leaked a few months back. and in general, the store is always clean, PaB wall rarely has any bins get low for more than a minute, and all of the employees are genuinley nice to the customers, i dont think ive ever seen a forced smile other than whenever "everything is awesome" plays on the speakers.

    hey. my senior exit for highschool is on how lego is a therapeutic hobby, and is more than just a kids toy. i was wondering how many of you view lego as a way to relive stress or frustrations and whatnot, and if you do, if youd be willing to possibly do a brief interview at some point so i can do my paper? thank you for your time, and for your help if you choose to help me out. -mrfang2 (if this is the wrong forum please move? sorry, i don't post much on here.)

    im betting the couch will have emmet, wyldstyle, unikitty, and maybe benny or vitruvius, the couch itself, and either 1 or 2 micromanagers, like the starwars battle packs that you mostly just get cause they come with a bunch of figures. im hoping the bad cop one will be 40-50$ and have emmet, wyldstye, and vitruvius in a modifyed version of the pig car to make it possible as a set, like how the supercycle was modded to roll better and that junk, along with bad cops car, gcbc (maybe slightly different expressions then last time) and their car.

    the classic space logos on the rear fins arent there in the film, although it may just be not on yet in this shot, also i think the lights are barraki eyes, they can be held the same way diamonds do, and a few old (not classic, but old) space sets used the early form of them as color bits anyware with a working light, so it would make sense to use a similar part from todays selection, as is done a few other times in the build.
  21. mrfang2
    personally id go with buisnesses lair and bad cops flying car. thats all the main characters but metalbeard and benny, and the only way so far to get vitruvious. the unikitty in the lair is passable as regular unikitty, atleast has the right colors, and the car is the only way to get the good cop head.
  22. mrfang2
    i dont, you have a link to that? cause id love to see it.
  23. mrfang2
    im assuming blacktron, they used to be advertized as space pirates right? and theres been a few neo blacktron figs relesed recently, so it kinda fits.
  24. mrfang2
    i may be wrong, but i think its a bit of both. if you look in finns box, you can see a complete cloud cuckoo palace (probably where unikitty comes from, although in universe prbably didnt have emmet, wyldstyle, and the executron), leading me to belive that atleast a few of the sets were official (like the sea cow, i belive was in the pirate section still at the end, so it may have been a "real" set) and were the source of some of the parts and prints we see. also, and hereis where i may be wrong, i belive i saw a 3d printer thing in the basement, so the man upstairs may have been making his own stuff too, like the buisness minifigs hair (if it is supposed to be his sigfig, it would make sense he would do custom hair) and thats probably where all the chrome robo heads came from too. would make a bit more sense too that he would imediatley recognize buisness being the bad guy was supposed to be him, he litterally was made in his image!
