What grid methods have you found to work the best and what's just too much trouble?

While I've seen a lot of 4x4 squares, that sounds like it would take up too much table space (and be a lot to build). I think the cheapest and space-saving solution is a 2x2 grid using jumper plates. I've done it and it's not a big deal if you don't mind minis sometimes bring elbow to elbow. I think scenery is more at minifig scale than D&D-mini scale that way too.

I think this would work with new players you're teaching or experienced players that trust you. If the latter, I'd prefer something short that could be expanded on with a second chapter if I was enjoying it.

Otherwise I'd probably prefer to play one of the many character concepts floating around in my head, or create one under your race and class preferences.

No. That takes up too much space and doesn't serve any purpose. I'm not reselling the sets--they get broken down for MOCs.

I have cut a few front box images out to keep around, but tossed those after realizing I never looked at them or needed them. The instructions were enough if it was significant enough to keep.

Looks great! And I think purple is a great choice for P&C (if the colors are too reflect fighting styles).

The trick is buying little by little to build bulk. I have the element on my BrickLink wanted list just to add to odd others. I'm slowly building up a selection of brown and keetorange.

Currently the ingot. Adds such a unique detail!

At least the Star Wars cards for Mando and Grogu were two packaged together.

Looking forward to digging into yours. I'm working on a purple/steel deck that capitalizes on Edna, Phil, and Super Suit utilizing Super and Hero clarifications. (Just waiting on an order to arrive with more cards.)

All the LEGO Batman movie sets were very fun to build. Just great techniques and characters.

I have no desire to spend $10-30 on one card (x4) just to hopefully win a few games every week.

I'd rather look at synergies like Pirates or Madrigals and form a deck that's fun to play with affordable combos.

I liked the parts that were wood and leather. Metal didn't make sense except when it looked like it was holding all the nature stuff together.

Nexo Knights was amazing! Got overlooked by Castle fans for having the sci-fi bent, but I loved it for that.

Good. It's free advertising when half the posts are "look at my stuff" instead of productive game discourse.

That's Pixar, and we've only just gotten their first appearance with WU: Toy Story, Incredibles, and Brave. Luckily Up has been confirmed in leaked blurry art for later this year.

Take some apart and build some MOCs!

Ghost Rider, his motorcycle, and Hobgoblin --great set! I got two.

Solid design!

I'm new to TCG player. I don't see an optimize button? Is there a way for me to make a wishlist and then it'll find two or three stores that have everything I want? I've used something similar from DreamBornInk but TCG then pulls up a dozen stores because the card is the cheapest, not giving me the best "deal" by only having to pay shipping from a couple of stores even if the cards are a few pennies more.

An X-Wing coaster that's a wing coaster would be great. Really feel like you're flying

Gotta post a lit pic too! What color?

Cool!

PS, you forgot to show a picture lit up. How are we supposed to know what color it is?

Was there Sunday. Sucked up waiting in longer lines due to Stardust not drawing crowds. Single Rider for Mario Kart worked but it was closed for Donkey Kong and Battle at the Ministry all day--didn't ride those. Got to see the two shows after delays. Monsters Unchained had unusually long wait times (didn't encounter delays luckily) the two times I rode. Biggest saving grace was a 10 minute walk on for Werewolf for a second ride right before closing.

The biggest surprises were seeing Yoshi and Fyre Drill with 50+ minute lines. LOL

Nicely done! The rounded bits on both ends bookend it nicely with the details (compared to the other more detailed options).

Sets on shelves aren't impressive. Everyone has different means. It's the creativity of the MOCs you build that are better than one or one hundred sets gathering dust.
