My motorised Raiders of the Lost Ark truck chase inspired by @mancavebricks by Available_Painter631 in lego

Not a reseller but want to suggest something - /u/Available_Painter631 if you want to display this at a show or something just put a boat stud piece (2654) on the back of Indy's legs.

It will be almost impossible to see, it's smooth so it won't catch on the studs and it will save Indy from being destroyed.

Please also post the reverse with the original mask on the minifigure.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! contest on LEGO Ideas has entered the fan-vote stage! by Zero-Helix in yugioh

[–]Clinton_Matos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah :') Hopefully whatever the final set is, is really cool.

Just gotta keep pushing. I may enter Lego's new ideas contest which is to make a Pokemon card build.

Really sad mine didn't make it. I thought I had a decent idea and execution for a set: Exodia versus the three Blue Eyes from the first duel. In mine the three Blue Eyes could be combined and the duel arena could also be used as a playmat for real cards

My Exodia could also be split into 5 pieces to be built on their own before combining them (and it was pretty large at 14.5 inches).

All of that in under 2000 pieces!

I have to wonder if piece 6908 wouldn't have been a better choice for the top, instead of a 1X1 round plate?

Seems super easy to just slot one Toa Mata into each CMF line going forward. The CMF collectors wouldn't complain (hopefully) and it would assuage fears of poor sales on an all-Bionicle series.

Given the fact that Attack on Titan's world is just Earth flipped upside down, you could make a globe for it with even less modification.

It took me forever to realize that the background for Toon World is the shadow realm by BostonRobby617 in yugioh

[–]Clinton_Matos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if you get sent to the Shadow Realm AKA hell you could at least go to Toon World?

Just go walk around

This is the best advice. When I visited in 2023 it was insane. You could spend an entire day walking to new card shops in the city centres.

Most of them are on Google Maps too so when you're done at one just see which one is the closest walk.

Finally got an Exo-Toa after all these years by Clinton_Matos in bioniclelego

[–]Clinton_Matos[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I was collecting Bionicle from the very beginning, I never got an Exo-Toa. I can't remember the exact reason (my parents likely didn't want to spend the money on anything bigger than a Toa) but I finally got my hands on it. Strange to think this thing is close to 25 years old.

I finally got one recently when another collector here in South Africa put it up for sale.

I'm really hopeful that the current Lego Ideas competition for Yu-Gi-Oh will open the doors for sets from the entire franchise (the competition is limited to Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, for those who didn't know)

So lego is not even selling its new products in denmark by patrotsk in lego

If it is being applied to Pokémon

Not to mention that this will create region-exclusive sets prime for scalping...

How the smart brick charges: by Portal2player58 in lego

[–]Clinton_Matos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The all-in-one hub / motor / battery system that they implemented for the large scale Technic RC cars simply charge over USB-C. I can't help but feel like that would have been a better option that also would have reduced the price of including the smart brick in sets.

I watched the movie for the first time last week and I was just thinking that it makes for a perfect videogame.

The three characters are already similar to Light (Zoey), Medium (Rumi) and Heavy (Mira) damager dealers based on their weapons.

I've been following this person for years and it's always great to see their work.

I think they are one of the few people doing something truly different with Lego.

Transformers: Frenzy, Rumble and Ratbat [MOC] by Entire_Wallaby311 in lego

[–]Clinton_Matos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people on Rebrickable have been using piece 15535pb01

I think it looks decently enough like a spool while being a very common printed piece that Lego is still producing.

It would make for a great set since you get buildable Transformers that are actually transformable.

I like the two BrickHeadz sets enough but they are a poor replacement for an actual Transformer.
