Oh a bunch of us were just angry at Lego not him. Rules said you can submit multiple and that's fine. Just only one should be accepted. If it's more that's on Lego not him(tho considering there were 7 other Goonie sets of comparable quality that got kinda weird in the original lineup.)
Nostalgia sells. It's the half measures that get me. Gimme Purple Rain Prince with motorcycle as a polybag, give me David Bowie from labyrinth making Lego girls(and boys) awaken something, give me a Falcor that can sit on a stand that has him bob like a wave, or take off and play with. Swamp of Sadness with a slow decent mechanism like the Indiana sets to recreate the fate of Artax. Sooner or later we're gonna get princess bride with an amazing Andre figure, and maybe some ROUS. Go nuts on Amadeus to expand historical pompous hairpieces, use the new sound brick in a brick built piano, use copyright free music, and toss in a random boisterous fart. Own it! Just say we're gonna take all your money so you can relieve your youth in multiple ways.
Went through exactly the same crap except the double payment.
Just so much crap. You have to wonder how many bots are hitting the website for scalpers...
That's what the queues is for.
Pretty optimistic to think that Lego will send out the sets before the weekend.
Yeah I could have but it was late and just added everything I wanted to the basket and checked out and went to sleep.
Looks fantastic! I just wish I had room for a set like that.Reminds me I never posted about finishing the Monarch ISD... I think?
Despite some construction errors, it was a pleasant build, and it was pretty much always a delight to look at every step of the way, no weird hidden colors lol
Also carried the ol 10030 upstairs for a comparison shot
modified the large turrets a little so they can be rotated - clearly one of the week spots of the moc
the tower structure is easily the most adventurous part of the model. At first I ended up with massive gaps and was frustrated, but it turns you gotta wiggle it and let it sag, which magically closes them up pretty neatly
The gaps in the snout are too large sadly, so I used small rubber bands to bring it together
Mine's still sitting in the warehouse. It's definitely not coming this week.
Reminds me of the "Discovery" sticker you have to put next to the cockpit windows on the Space Shuttle set... The set is probably my favorite set ever, it's amazing but the fucking sticker is not the same white as the brick under it and it's killing me every time I look at it. So dumb... Do they ever actually do transparent stickers? I have never seen one myself but I haven't built that many sets myself.
I know I'm super broken record, but water slide decals or at least clear back sticker papers are available. The slide decals can get to the point where you can't tell it's not printed, just like people do on those gunpla models.
I've had a couple sets with transparent stickers. I actually hate them, I find them harder to work with and they leave visible imperfections where I handled them.
The Flux Conpensat9r of the BttF DeLorean was a transparent sticker and I hate it. I had to reposition it and it ruined the sticker completely...
Nice! Mine was sent out early this morning and by sent out I mean Lego printed out a sticker and will sit on the package until Monday to actually hand it over to DPD...
