Saber Forum

Since this is the Off Topic board, I'm going to go off the topic of Star Wars.

Here is an invite to LEGO enthusiasts to talk and share their non-SW LEGO fixation.

I have had LEGOs in my life for as long as I can remember. But my fate was sealed on my 11th birthday when my parents finally caved and bought me "cool sets." Just about everything I got that year was LEGO sets. Blacktron, Space Police, and Ice Planet. I have been a near-rabid collector ever since.

My most recent persuits have been to collect the Ultra Agents series, as well as......the Mixels. I can't figure out why, but I love those little sets. I'm fixin' to get the Lixers Tribe tonight after work.

So let me know what y'all are into.

I have always been a fan of Bionicle, and was... umm... upset... when they replaced Bionicle with Hero Factory. It made my day when they brought it back- because Hero Factory wasn't getting popular.

I don't like that Lego is creating sets based on movies, it kills imagination- which is what Lego claims to build more than Lego Sets.

And finally, the new Bionicle sets look too much like Hero Factory, they have lost their classic touch. I plan on getting a new set soon.

I hear that. I didn't mind it when they did Star Wars, but then it just seemed to be all they were really doing. For the most part, I don't care what they make, as long as it's original. (and of good quality.) Although I must admit LEGO Indiana Jones were great sets. And the LEGO Movie sets just made perfect sense.

The thing that I think is killing the LEGO brand beyond all the movie tie-ins are the stupid gimmicky shooters. Back my day, we pointed and went "pew, pew." No lights, no sound, no projectiles required. We didn't have flick missiles, spring loaded cannons (waitin' to put someone's eye out), or ball shooters. We used our imaginations. And because of that our ideas weren't diminished when the appeal of the set lost its luster. Then the real fun began, because it was then time to scrap it for parts, and our own ideas come into being.

Nowadays, it just seems that kids are lost during play time unless they have a movie or tv show directing how the story should go. Lame.

I am now impatiently waiting for the Dr. Who Lego sets.  According to BBC, they were in negotiation with Lego to make kits available last year.  So far nothing unless not yet selling in Canada.  Anyone have an update?  My brother used to have some basic Lego a long time ago that mainly made vehicles and some structures like a non electric ferris wheel.  Didn't Lego also make the ones with wooden sticks and blocks.  With round wooden wheels with a hole in the center to make the stick connections?  Sad but true... gotta start somewhere.  :-\

My original Lego from childhood mostly centered around the original classic space ('78-80).   I had various  basic sets and a few others like a fire station as well.   In the mid 80s my "dark ages" began and remained until about 2003.

At which time I took notice of Star Wars Lego.  When I first saw that it was like my chocolate fell into my peanut butter.  By around 2006 I had collected almost all the sw sets released up to that time.  Meanwhile I dabbled in a few other themes.   Ferrari was a big one for me.   Also had a few Indiana Jones and batman.

Lately I've toned down the Star Wars to only OT themed stuff.   And I also got into the modular buildings (have all of them except the most recent two:  Parisian restaurant and detective office).  And my most recent non-star wars Lego interest is.....TRAINS!

Too bad Lego is so bloody expensive.

I had so many of the original Wild West series (before the addition of Indians themed sets).  First set was the giant abandoned mine set that was the outlaw hideout.  Had all the outlaws plush one cavalry soldiers for a shoutout.  Had a cool mine track feature with tripwire for some ambushes.  I also got the Wild West town (had the general store and back with exploding wall for robberies) plus a stagecoach and I also got the sheriff's office with jail cell.  The only original set I didn't get was the fort.

Many a bank robbery and prison break were commited.

I um.... dont have Lego other than Starwars really. Unless you count the truck selling xmas trees i got for free a few years ago with an order.

i had a grand total of like 2 Lego that I bought for myself as a kid. We just couldn't afford them. Besides, I had a box of Lego that belonged to my brother. Theres a heap of different knights sets, city sets and space sets in there. All 80s sets. Plenty of pieces lost over the years but one day I'll rebuild the space sets to put next to the SW ones. Hubby has a very old mindstorm set in the cupboards, other than that most of his Lego has been lost, or is possibly floating around his parents house still.

I do want a helicarrier however. And I am envious of the ironman armoury a friend built  ;D

OMG D7, Dr Who lego would be cool as....... I didn't know they were negotiating that.......

I've been lucky to have lego in my life for a long time, most of my favourites were the classic blue and white space sets in the 80's, and I always just luv'd making my own stuff up..... the kit would stay stock for a couple weeks then get mixed into the boxes and boxes me and my brother shared..... I just always loved space ships or flying ships...... I have vivid memories of making a Thunderbird 2 and 4 when I was about 6 (before sw), and also remember trying to build an x wing the moment I got home from first seeing sw in 77...... Also, the Phoenix from "battle of the planets", the list goes on..... But when lego started selling the sw stuff, that was it, I went a lil crazy, and I was in my late 20's at the time, haha.......

I would LOVE lego to get the rights to do the Thunderbird ships...... especially 2, 3 & 4......  :)

I'm also lucky to have a lot of Duplo, I bought lots for my kids, and suggested it for their pressies from relo's too..... Some of our friend's children know our home as the "lego house", haha.....

It all started a few years ago when my son became interested in SW and we picked up some sets, mainly ships to get into it.  But "we" ;) are mostly into the SW mini figs.  Jek-14!  And the lightsaberrrrrrrrrrrs!

Most recently we have gotten into TMNT mini figs and two sets, the turtles van and another flying car of sorts.  The turtle figs are cool and detailed and the shells are too cute.  We also have a few Marvel superhero figs(no sets) but aren't really going that direction.  Never had Lego as a kid(I know!) but now at 36 I love it.  And of course we have the generic tub of parts to make anything you wish.

Have spent 4+ hours in an evening assembling a single ship(or constructing an arc reactor from scratch-same thing) for my son after he went to bed to surprise him in the morning.  I sometimes take pictures of mini figs I put together so I can admire my own work, ha!

haha, that's sooo me Hazard...... When my son was about 6 (he's now 22) me and my brother divided up our old blocks for my kids and his kids and this was added to his collection, I remember staying up nearly all night to make him a space ship creation we'd take about and started making before he went to bed...... haha, "bedtime" the enemy of lego creations  ;D

I have a pic of that ship somewhere, see if I can find it

I think you're referring to Tinker Toys. However, LEGO did start out making wooden toys back before most of us were born. I'm not sure if they had a line similar to TT.

I Googled your precious Who. It looks like they are out, just not here. I also wouldn't be suprised if a LEGO Dr. Who video game came out as well. The River mini-figure looks spot on.

To the group in general, you guys are making me highly nostalgic for the old glory days of LEGO. Wild West, Aquanauts, Pirates, Explorers. The list goes on for a while, but you get the idea. ;)

A company called Character Building made LEGO-compatible Doctor Who-themed sets for a while; unlike LEGO, CB were much more willing to sculpt heads and other custom parts, which means (for instance) their Eleventh Doctor, Amy, & Rory look like caricatures of the actors -- not to mention their Daleks and Weeping Angels.

Now, I did discover over the weekend that LEGO is working on a game called LEGO Dimensions, which will make use of the Doctor Who license; they've got images up for Twelve, the TARDIS, and K-9.

http://www.cnet.com/news/doctor-who-joining-lego-dimensions-action-adventure-game/

No it wasn't those, but I apologize D7. What I saw was a brilliantly done CGI. I was so hopeful for you.

This was one of the sets way back in the late 70's, early 80's that helped form my love of lego, set 497.....  :)

That right there was the centerpiece of my childhood collection.   I still have mine complete today.

Here is some of the work the kids and I did tonight.
I think this Foot Clan is in serious trouble.  We have all four turtles but at the moment only Raph knows where Raph is.

Not sure if too many people have seen the General Grievous mini fig so BAM here he is!  And ohhhhhh, who is this standing up to him?

HFS, dude. You're are really showing your age. Every set I ever owned had a minimum of a 4 digit model number. And now they're into the 5 digit numbers.

*ahem*

"Spaceship!!"

Sorry, had to be done. Carry on.

Don't even worry about it. When I first saw Benny in the trailers, with his busted chin guard on the helmet, that's what told me that these characters are the product of a little boy's imagination, and that he was using "inherited" parts.

Ooo! I have that landing pad and that bit of moon! I have two of those bits of moon, they are currently holding a pile of my SW mini figs :P

EDIT: curiosity made me go see if any of the instruction manuals still lived. I found these ones in the space Lego :) not as fancy as yours, but I have some triple digits as well :D more triple digit sets in the city series, my bro had a lot of those plus a heap of road boards.

I don't remember having any specific kits, actually.  I DO remember getting a giant bucket of Legos and building random stuff with them, though.  I liked to make Lego animals in particular and Lego jungles for them to live in.  I also remember thinking the clear pieces were extra special for some reason and fighting over them with my cousin. 

I also remember having Lego Robotics, at least I THINK that was Lego?  Those were a real pain at the time, but still really cool.

When I was a Sr. in HS, I set about to build a functional AT-AT out of the Dacta sets that we had in Industrial Tech. Never got it to take an actual step, but it shuffled real good. I ran out of time, and couldn't tweek the power transmission. But I was never really into the Technic style stuff. I preferred to power my desings with imagination. ;D ::)

There was a toy called "Robotix" from the mid-80s.   It wasn't Lego and it didn't last very long.  Is that what you were thinking of?

Nah, it's not those.  These were later, like early 90's.  I had the Robotix as well, but these were definitely something different.  Like I said, can't remember who made them, but they sure looked like Legos.

Well, have a sneak peek here: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/59181 (https://ideas.lego.com/projects/59181)
It seems it just takes (some) more time...

The other stuff at https://ideas.lego.com/ (https://ideas.lego.com/) looks quite interesting, too...

How about the Lego engineering that went into this!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ObE4_nMCjE

You aren't thinking of the Lego Mindstorm are you? Robotics controller box that you could program with various motors and sensors and the likes?

Going to necropost cause I just have to show off these custom minifigs I picked up at the con today (and there is no Star Wars character among them):

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1862/44729379231_99b33ffb29_z.jpg)

Even as cute minifigs, that is an imposing crew in my opinion.  Raven is for mom, Dr. Strange is for wife, Deadpool is for son, Punisher and Zoom are for me!

I made some Supernatural mini figs awhile back. Hell I'm not even sure where they are now.

Thank you for resurrecting this. I initially started it because not all LEGOs are SW.

I am very jealous of that Zoom. the Flash is one of my favorite TV shows of all time behind TCW.

Lifelong LEGO enthusiast and collector.  My Daughter and I built this amazing set a couple weeks ago on a rainy day.  Simply beautiful, functional and cool.  Too bad no licensed sets in the 80s when I was a kid! Oh well, I would not have been able to afford them then like I can now.  Being an adult has its pluses too.

Very nice MP!  Every time I pass this on display at the Lego store, I start to drool.

Hi All, Musashi Padawan,

I don't have a Voltron LEGO set but a friend of mine is a big fan of the show and as a bit of fun I built a few models for him in Blender 3D of the Lion Heads and (I think it is) the Red Lion Sword. He is getting the Lion Heads printed out to use as pommels.

point for the Defender

p.s. I can't afford LEGO sets so have to make do with virtual building

I have wanted that Voltron since the first time I saw it. Lucky

I




HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTEEEE








You.

Did not know this existed. Must have. Damn it!

Yes indeed, Voltron and Legos are a must

When I first saw this on Amazon I thought it was bogus, until I saw it on LEGO.com.

It is hard to believe some things on Amazon

I already got taken once.

Why are the legs on different sides than the box shows? ;)

Quite the eye for detail TR!  :D

I am pretty sure my daughter taking the lead at that point in construction! I like I said, it was a rainy vacation day, quite a long project and there may have been some adult beverages consumed on my part. That’s my story at least. Although, the original series from the 80s is famous for such inconsistencies. It’s well documented that the 5 Lions would often have different numbers on their backs or no numbers at all, depending on the episode.

One of two possible reasons:

1) The person who put the instructions together didn't pay attention.
2) Mus didn't pay attention during assembly.


Either way, I'm still totally jealous.

The LEGO corporation is much celebrated and studied by businesses the world around for their amazing quality, near zero error rate and impeccable internal control measures. The likely culprit is probably related to Corona light....

I wouldn't say their control measures live up to impeccable anymore. I can't tell you how many parts I've had fail on me in the last 4 years, doing nothing more than a single build of the original design. It's a bit disgraceful.

Meanwhile, I've got older parts that have been used in self-designs that have been assembled for the better part of 20yrs that are still as good as the day they were bought.

Hi All,

A very good friend of mine called "The Vintage Toy Advertiser" has a website that showcases advertising and catalogues for various toy ranges. Many of them are vintage or fairly rare. Well he just posted an article highlighting vintage Danish Lego ads and the range shown is the "Space Exploration" sets. if you're interested you can find the page here:
https://thevintagetoyadvertiser.org/2018/09/30/vintage-space-lego/ (https://thevintagetoyadvertiser.org/2018/09/30/vintage-space-lego/)

HA! -1

It's missing a coffee cup and a scowl.

Ha! that's great.  ;D

I just need the Fleece Crested Scepter of Q-teep and Po-lish Remover of Na-il to remove that pesky cheer. Coffee cup should be easy to acquire.

Don't forget the Blade of Exact Zero!

You can just Kragle that right into my hand. "I'll cut chu"

Lol, have a point

I have photographic proof that she doesn't always scowl at work.

Quiet you, you'll ruin my Sithy reputation if you go showing people the fluffy weasel kitten pic.

OK...NOW you have my attention  ;)

And mine

Playing with fire, the both of you.

Remember I’m Sith and deal with unpleasant things and harsh truths

I said I had proof, didn't say I was going to show it.

Oh man, the internet is SOOOO small. I still respect you as a powerful Sith Warrior. Even Palpatine smiled from time to time.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Oh, I smile. That picture would require an explanation and that is what will bother the weakhearted Jedi of this forum (some Sith too)

We are getting off topic... LEGO’s!

Why would you explain yourself to anyone? Your a bad ass Sith Warrior Goddess. Who's worthy of an explanation of anything you did, do or will do?

Not an explanation of why I'm smiling... an explanation about the fluffy weasel kitten.

I want the Jurassic Park Raptor Chase set. To go with all the original Jurassic Park toys I still own  ;D

Yes. Back to LEGO's
Look what I found!
I have this Gundam Astray Red Frame model kit in 1/144th scale.

And this guy is just to damn cool.

These arnen't actual kits are they? It's been a long time, so I can't remember. Can you still get random sets of LEGO's or is everything part of a specific kit now? Because I want to build me some giant robots!

I know where to get it. >:D

We'll have to take a field trip when I'm out next >:D

You are of course correct.  LEGOs!

...SO, Logos, can you make a LEGO MOC of LAK's fluffy weasel kitten pic?   ;)

WOW Silenoz, those are awesome!

OMG! I want those! Point for the find, DS!

I agree with LAK the Jurassic sets are really cool, I have had my eye on this new one for awhile:

Noid? I'll trade you.


I have a bud at church that builds on this level. I keep telling him he needs to find a website to post images to.


MOC?


I both hate you and need these. ⌐¿⌐

You decided to not go to Target to get the Noid. Trade me what?
Yes, I know. Yes, you do

I would like to see his work and indeed, he should start a blog about it.

He was obsessed with Bionicle, so he has a lot of experience in that kind of building. His designs are incredible.

I thought you meant had I gotten back online or gone to my store. To which I answered "no". It was available at your store. Emphasis on was. >:(

Don’t get pissed at me, it's not my fault we didn’t make it to Target Sunday. I was willing to take the cab there but you were muttering about stuff never being in stock then all that shell went down about having to organize a meet up with your sister

And South Chi isn’t my store. If it was, you’d have your Noid already

'Salright. Con-hunt. Not pissed at you.

/sigh sorry for snapping.

Now you said something about a trade and/or knowing wher the raptor set is. I’m thinking post Venom build fun

That can be arranged.

Excellent!

My son wants that along with the new Jurassic World sets


Close enough but I'll take a transforming robot whether it's Transformers, Voltron, Gundam or anything else because robots.

I love it when they get the tiny details. This set comes with the Jell-O, shaving cream can, and the "Ah ah ah. You didn't say the magic word." Nedry screen.

Sadly it does not actually transform. :(

The other things generic set builds

You can build it 3 different ways, so worth the $20. How many hours between the 3 builds?

Considering the various distractions....and factoring out dismantling.........I would say 10 hours minimum of pure building. Thank you very much.

Awesome  8)

You’re welcome

I'll admit....that is #@%&ing cool.

I know, but similar to your dilemma on the other thread- is it $200 cool?!? There is the bonus of my daughter wanting to build it with me... hmmmm 

Set aside $10/week and in 20 weeks you got new LEGOs

Yeah I got the notification email from Lego about this set today too, it does look awesome, hoping my son does not see this.  ;)

Because?.....

I ordered the 1989 Batwing a few days ago. Waiting for it to ship. In the mean time I finally caved and ordered the Batmobile. I’ve wanted it since release but talked myself out of it. With the release of the Batwing I just had to have time both. Just finished bag 7 and really enjoying the build. I’d post pictures but they don’t do this thing justice and is difficult because of all the black. The design of this set is awesome and it’s gonna be a very impressive model once done I can already tell.

Hi Metal Mech,

Congrats on (Bat)caving in to temptation and buying these sets. I just finished building a Batmobile but it is the Pursuit of Joker version (set 76119 not the 76139). It was still fun though.

Mrs Tyeth bought the set for me to occupy me during the lockdown. She also found a "DC Heroes Lego Batman" board game but unfortunately that was a bit disappointing  :(

Yeah I wished I had caved when it first came out. Had it in my cart with the promotional smaller version. I took too long making up my mind and the promotional set sold out. Not that I needed it but for what it’s selling for would nice to have at this point in time. I did realized then it would be a rare promotion only set.

So far the build is pretty sweet. I’m on bag 17 of 24. This thing is massive but solid.

Still waiting for my batwing to ship out. I’m usually patient but in this day and age of “prime” 1 day/2day shipping I always find my self getting impatient when something takes a few days to leave. Not trait I am proud of.

Anyways I think the only thing that could be better then these two sets are if they made an animated version of the BatMobile. I wouldn’t even second guess that one.

POINT

I nearly soiled myself when I saw the Batmobile, and cursed....audibly...when I saw the Batwing.

You should get them they are great builds. Both of them are massive and very detailed.
I can’t post a any photos of the BatMobile. It’s hard to photograph well being all black and my light box isn’t big enough.  That and it’s currently sitting in a display case in a museum.

Still building the bat wing. It’s massive to in over all size. Not as bulky or as solid as the BatMobile. Some pain in the butt fiddly sections but over all worth the outcome. I usually build in bed watching tv before I sleep. Not a good idea with this one. It really needs a large flat surface to sit one while building.


Oh and for those that may not have seen it there is a large scale Ecto-1 coming out on the 15th. It’s based on the one from the new movie but still amazing.

Something about trying to save for a house.  :( :'(

Start an imgur account. They have free photo hosting.

I have a Imgur account. My problem is trying to photograph large, completely black, Lego models. That and I don’t have access currently to the BatMobile.

I understand completely about saving for a house. I used to own the UCS Falcon, the first one. Sold it to raise money for down payment on our house.

Ouch
