  1. I watch few movies after endgame, except Spiderman they are waste of time. They even ruined Star Wars for me... For very same reasons, bad unrealistic writing leaning on one side of reality... They are skipping X-Mens in MCU... I wonder really why...
  2. Bad writing, unlikable characters that replace established ones and bad movies with blown budgets will only get Mouse pocket into troubles. Not me...
  3. Thanks, I found some info yeah I know now meaning of that badge. I read that these new comics sells very poorly thanks to new characters. So I stick to original avengers assembly and she stays as citizen.
  4. I was wondering, i bought Gargantos set and there is female teenager figure. Its this another superhero that anybody never heard of or random citizen figure? He is wearing rainbow pin, its this her superpower? Im genuinely asking because I dont care about new marvel movies. I just buy this set for that monster and Strange and Wong figures. She ended like normal citizen, because its interesting minifigure for this.
  5. Well history proved that app controlled, products sets died very quickly thanks to software. All these Lego software controlled sets from early 2000 are there for nothing, because computers evolved and they dont work anymore. Why this is different case? Except coding will be given to fans to give them endless possibility. There will be many android, ios versions for years to come. Will be there enough resources from Lego after ten years to make it works for excavator from 2019 Even lego can change mind and do another system... These app controlled coffee machines, washing machines, toys are useless for very same reason and thats app gimmick. It bumps price, yet give you headache for long term. I know what Im talking...Its not like app is enhancing set, yet that set is completely fine without it. But app being crucial to any product is bad move. So yeah sell sets with app control, but give me option to make it future proof by selling gamepad whatever like lego did with PF days. Also Its hard to say but lego electric functions in sets are just bad. Back in days I do not even purchase horizon express, because price of making it motorized with original parts and rechargeable battery box was of my limit. So I even skipped whole horizon express purchase. I had RC trains from 2006, guess what they are now sitting retired. They drain battery very quickly and it was chore to change them like every half hour. So all my lego plastic tracks are just in hidden in boxes. With 9V system, that will never happen for me for sure. I check prices of lego hub components with rechargeable battery, and these are off limits for me. Afols offer better third party solutions, and Im sad that fans do better job than big corporates with so many resources. This is everywhere even worse in gaming industry and makes you really think about it.
  6. Maybe unpopular, but Lego technic is taking really bad turn. So many sets without functions, other with so many functions at once that barely work as intended. My biggest reasons to see technic fail are these app controlled sets. I never spend too much for sets only working with app that will be forgotten in few years and making these sets non functional. This happen for sure and people will be really angry... Anyways I never found RC technic set to be actually something good, so I always skipped them. Also I had few technics sets, guess what all my broken lego pieces are from technic doing actually nothing. So this driven me of this theme really quickly.
  7. That why I think, investment in lego nowadays in nonsense thats my another unpopular opinion. Why, lego can do release out of nowhere. There are so many knockoff brands, so mostly people try in this terms rather than pay huge amount for specific set. Also this market is now oversaturated, It was holy grail 15 years back. Now? I dont know.Everybody thinks that every set is valuable, like everybody... And for me specifically, when I dont have specific sets. Its lego after all yes, so I can build lookalike and even better. Its really easy to build lookalike of city 90s set than buying original. Just my opinion, from someone that also made few crowns from lego .
  8. Yeah he had precisely same mindset, so yeah people are always same everywhere. Thanks for proving my point, without getting into details. I was not talking like its bad thing nowhere, he talked like its best thing in world. He constantly reminds me that this set has no value, because he measured this in profit. We are still talking about very advanced building toy bricks. Give kids even recent AT-AT and they turn it into fun or piece donor. There are two worlds that are constantly clashing in Lego fandom... Lego movie this captured great...
  9. Thanks for nice words. Hey I had harsh year like many people, so I checked out new lego sets. There were four sets that hit me like strikes, everything was perfect. But I also dive into my old sets Guess what I have now on two 48×48 baseplate with height 40 bricks. Im not even exaggerating. Train station, with Hogwarts express, tunnel, park with tent with diamond cave under old tires, Octan, Castle with James Bond Style base, glimpse of heavy industry, on top there is freight monorail(Not that monorail from 1990s but brickbuild) .Robot, Batmobile, speed champions cars, alien spaceship, Octan spaceship and Avengers team and dinosaur. All that is in it I used about 50% of my childhood lego another is new. Its really crazy, it was so fun for me just like old time cruisers series. I just use my imagination, I had throwback and fun at same time. Maybe one day I post photo, it was fun for me and my family to look at it. Maybe its mess for someone but I liked to capture feel of old catalogues. These dioramas really let me wild in imagination.
  10. Well it was around 2005-2014 I was in school when I was on this forum. We as family had low income because my father died tragically, few years before all my lego that I had was thanks to him. It was surreal when attack me for liking sets in survey, that gives me a lot fun, by somebody who was around 35 in this time and only collect sets for profit. This was my probably first time in social media, it was before any of the big players. On that forum it was constantly about amount, price spend whatever talking about money except skills or fun. It takes me very long time to actually have fun with lego again. I really use social media very little because they are cespool, I love reviews on youtube and getting some tips and tricks. I was truly shocked what internet can do really back in these days.
  11. Lego have really toxic fan base, Im not talking about this forum. But I was in one nationwide forum as kid, and after years I feel like there was constant bullying from so called "hardcore" fans. Imagine if they pick on you for liking series they do not dislike, or having less sets, skills than adults. They act like manchilds... And they bans you for calling them. It was within its prime glory, now luckily this forum feels like everybody abandon it. Guess why... Its bad that company about toys produce so bad environment for fans. Now Im free, building for myself, building with trials and errors... I really encourage everybody who feels like its bullyied to get of that place quickly.
  12. So another lego supercar of 21. century, when half of price going to marketing and brochure? Lets wait for huge sales i almost every shop in my country that was going with porsche. Or no, my bricks after years are cracking and Im not too rich to buy cheaply made things... This is probably my last post on this forum, Im not happy whats going on in TLC.
  13. Czech RRP is about 160€ which is crazy, but online shops probably get these sets from Germany so i can found this set about 100 euro.
  14. Im running out of place and I want nice looking set. So question is,go for extreme adventurer?Or wait for photos of Mack Truck? I can found 42069 for pretty low price, but Mack seems to be big licensed American Truck with trailer that almost everybody wanted.
  15. This set looks like fun to build, but colours are eyesore for these type of vehicle.Functions for 140 euro set are pretty basic. Glorified parts pack in my eyes.
  16. Well first half of 2018 looks same boring as second half of 2017.I dont know if there is strategy to aiming sets mostly towards kids. Well Im not pesimistic at all, I must admit that Mack truck silhouette looks amazing.And for long time technic truck with trailer!Imagine amounts of possible trailers!
  17. 42069 german price is 129 € but In czech republic is priced 4500 crowns, which is about 160€. Well Im tired of your prices for my country, and now this?You are pretty bad at math dear TLC. Price for this vehicle killed potentional two buyers me and my friend, and dont tell me to go to Germany and wasting a day for buying some plastic bricks...
  18. I hope its truly minifig scale.
  19. I must say Destiny bounty is great looking ship and price is good.Much better price/piece ratio than Temple of Airjitzu.
  20. I predicted it few pages before, same scheme as 8297 .
  21. These vehicles especially Red Mech and Dragon looks fabulous, I only hope they will not be smaller in set form.
  22. I bet that official sets doesnt include fake engine... As say last year, you are genius.
  23. Well this time of year is now kind of sad, few years before there were plenty of videos or photos that well presented upcoming models.I literally was in Nuremberg.This year its like some sneak peek, maybe next year banned permanently. I know time is harsh but really, this seems to me pretty strict...
  24. It seems that Creator is stepping their game a lot, not only Expert range but "normal" range seems to be every year better and better(Hello year 2017, I look at you ) .When city fails and their only budget is police, fire department or research teams, creator is going to save the day for minifigs(And buyers). What I like to see is police cruiser in 8-10 stud wide range and also in 1:16 scale or bigger to chase down these great creator cars!Also I like to see sedan, combi, muscle type of vehicle in normal creator range. Thanks for read
  25. Well I dont want to backseat moderator, but this is friendly forum.Dont need to be rude to other in such hysterical way.
