Aren't munchkins supposed to be... short?
-
Dang that Munchkinland building is beautiful! But where are the munchkins?

Is Toto a German Shepherd puppy in the Wicked universe? Interesting lineup of sets though. It seems like they're really leaning into the adult buyer side of things for Part 2.

Yep, Eurobricks remains a site dedicated to LEGO both as a system and a brand, and not the alternatives and competitors. There have always been alternatives and competitors, and Eurobricks has never been about them. If they work for you, that's all well and good!

Indeed. Between the insane prices, lack of many non-externally Licensed parts added, and new worse UI, PaB is quite literally not what it used to be.

No... Tudor Corner launched in Jan. They've already added parts from March.

I missed this new kitten colour. Why isn't it on PaB?? The Minifigures in the set are incredibly run of the mill too.

Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion
Clone OPatra replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
Well, very happily surprised to see the Lovegood House on the list. Here's hoping it's actually... good. Only a couple of years ago I'd have no trepidation at all. Since then a couple of things have happened: Malfoy Manor facade with some less than ideal figures (especially some faces), and perfectly good Privet Drive at that same price point when it should be $20 cheaper than that. The only way I'll be happy with a pretty small house is if they include a full on Three Brothers vignette alongside it, which would be pretty cool. The rest of the list is just at this point, though I do like a Hagrid variant so that set could turn out worthwhile. -
While I generally agree to the latter (and that is our stated forum rule), there is also value in seeing cool old MOCs bumped up again that would otherwise have been lost to time. I'd say that's the case here - these are neat!

Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Clone OPatra replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Here in Australia too. It's honestly much more functional. I think they should keep the current setup but if you click on a brick rather than click "Pick", you should be able to see and toggle between available colours. -
Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Clone OPatra replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
That's only once you click on them. On the main page of parts to scroll, there's nothing indicating parts are out of stock. -
Lego Licensed Parts available from Bricks & Pieces
Clone OPatra replied to LegoPercyJ's topic in LEGO Licensed
Yeah in principle having one entry for a part and choosing the colour seems cool, but several things need fixing with this UI. It needs to be able to show what's out of stock on the first screen (maybe the colours that are out of stock are slightly greyed out), and also show which colours are already in your cart with a tick on top of them, like it does when you click. The bestseller vs standard issue is no longer a thing here in Australia (or in Europe I think), but they need to sort that out for North America. -
LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Clone OPatra replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The old one had an interconnected function so that the wings folded down and the landing gear folded up, and vice versa, all simultaneously. I believe the new one has wings that must be folded independently and doesn't have landing gear at all. EDIT: I might be wrong though. There is an arrow on the back of the box between the pic of the side wings folding down and the pic of the back wing folding down. Does that mean they fold together? Hopefully a lifestyle video will tell us soon. As @Flawless Cowboy said though, it's just a less cool toy. You're welcome. That was my benchmark for LEGO pricing that was awful. Sad to say, now pricing that is beyond incomprehensible is becoming common here in Star Wars. -
LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!
Clone OPatra replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Seems like the V-19 has lost the function that made it so awesome back in the day. Sad. This wave of sets make me sad generally. There's very cool novel stuff, but the prices are all "sets including General Grevious" level beyond horrendous. -

There is a lot wrong with the new pigeon, most notably that pigeons have distinctive, colourful necks. That would probably be hard to implement without triple moulding plus printing, and simply dual-moulding with no printing definitely keeps the cost down on LEGO's end. I'm still happy to have a pigeon at all though and am not that fussy about accuracy.

Eurobricks' Licensed Multiverse Mayhem contest - Voting Topic

6 10 11 It was hard to narrow it to three! -
Hi Codemito, While we allow topics that are presented as MOCs, with pictures, write-up etc to have a link to Ideas at the end, the way you have posted this is pure self-promotion. I am locking this topic but feel free to repost in the appropriate subforum and actually showing off your build, if you'd like.

Ashnflash has closeups in his review: Around 13:30. Definitely looks dual-moulded.

Wizarding World 2025 - Rumors & Discussion
Clone OPatra replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I'm not even buying this latest iteration and can say it looks way better than the 2021-2023 line to me (which I do have and no longer display in favour of 2018-2020). Being a sectional castle wasn't the main thing that made the 2021 line ugly, but rather that they leaned so heavily at first into the rectangular aesthetic (until they didn't later on, but with sets that still didn't cohesively go together). This castle section might be composed of sections, but that's a justifiable build method for a line that (despite its price) still focuses on a healthy balance of detail and build-ability for a younger/family audience than large D2Cs. The 2024 line's thing is about being huge, not about being complex, and looks heaps better than 2021. -
[MOC] Johnny Thunder's motorcycle with sidecar
Clone OPatra replied to The Reader's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Perfect classic build for the time! I loved that old motorcycle and very much did not like the trike that essentially replaced it, which is a real though rare vehicle as compared to a motorcycle. And unlike newer motorcycle parts, this one actually felt proportional for Minifigures. -

The links still work. The banner image isn't loading because of a Eurobricks server issue. I will have voting up this weekend.
