Everything LEGO thread!

Looks like they had nearly everything else.

 

My (well.... We, since we build together) usually picks which one he likes the most, looks wise, and we build that and then put it on display. So we just build the one.

 

It’s nice to see the stores have a lot of the stuff the website is sold out of. I only wish there was a store closer to me to go to. Enjoy the builds!

 

I feel like this thing is getting out of hand. Currently half an inch shy of 4 feet long.

 

I’ll just leave this here

 

Indeed they did. It was quite tempting but I just made a different toy purchase for my son and I:

 

Ideas Medieval Blacksmith was unveiled today. February 1 release date, 2164 pieces, $150.

I’m not really into Lego buildings but a medieval, timberframe blacksmith shop, you gotta be kidding me!

In for sure.

Then I’ll keep an eye out for the Lego Medieval Barbershop/Plague Infirmary

 

Someone will come up w a mod for it:

Well I’m getting it.

 

Not really sure I'd say it was butchered. It's certainly a change, but the core points still seem to be there. Approval through the program is just for that - the idea. Nothing says they're required to produce the design as submitted. It's interesting seeing the comments across the internet on the changes.

Personally, I like the changes they've made. The original design definitely looks like a MOC and not so much a set I'd enjoy building, and don't want to think what that design would have retailed for as a set. I'm also not the biggest fan of the hyper-textured techniques that are so prevalent among castle builders; The final set we're getting looks clean and more playable while still maintaining the key points of the original submission.

That said, I can certainly see the arguments against the final design as well. Last's year's Barracuda Bay even more radically changed from the original concept than the Blacksmith. Just interesting watching people, I guess.

Same, definitely

Current leaks also indicate a ~$100 Creator 3-in-1 castle, similar to last year with the 3-in-1 pirate ship after the Barracuda release. Needless to say, I'm pretty hyped.

 

I like both versions... the original would be $300 from LEGO due to size and piece count I bet. Glad they scales it down to match much of the castle era sets and the price point means they will sell a lot more. And there is always Bricklink if you want to increase its footprint.

 

Here’s an endlessly modified Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and a stand that either works as a landing platform or a canted display stand.

 

That's pretty Dope!

 

Got my cargo train done and maybe started to play with it a little.






























Fun night but need more track and need the motor for the Crocodile locomotive.
