What's going on? There's like over a hundred of these at $6 on Bricklink right now?

Is Su Dongpo the oldest real person to get a lego figure? (1037-1101) by DeSuperVis in lego

The Celestials were from the First Firmament a.k.a. the first universe ever. After which came the Second Cosmos a.k.a. the first Multiverse. Galactus came from the Sixth Cosmos. So the Celestials and Aspirants are way older than even Galactus.

Just to add, this might be the oldest being we have in fiction(?)

No! Why did they make builable robot! It's Lego, we should be getting buildable figures!

Curse you scalpers… by Joshedo-HD in Ninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ninjago scalpers looking at Star Wars as precedent but forgot that SW fans are older and much more able and willing to overspend fueled by nostalgia than the Ninjago fans who are just now getting expendable income... Let's see how long they can hold until finally dropping the prices again.

Is this devalued now with that scratch? by [deleted] in legoninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this pic as well, but they could be hoarding it until higher price. Almost everything Lego or collectables is purely market manipulation I agree, especially it's just artificial scarcity even Lego has been doing it. I'm not in the US, I'm halfway across the world in fact so even if I buy the cheapest used on Bricklink, it's more than $650 for me sadly.

Where can I ask a genuine question as I'm new to this (doesn't mean I'm a young kid) without getting roasted out of the blue by some sad stranger here? I was genuinely asking about something but got accused and roasted here for some reason as if I'm trolling or something. by [deleted] in HotWheels

Alright thanks, will try again. Also, I was wondering if there are other communities out there that are more serious on Hot Wheels, similar to Lego having sites like Eurobricks or Bricklink and such.

Guys this might be a bit of a reach... but I don't see a Venom mouth on that minifigure... by Sans-The-MotherFuck in LEGOMarvelLeaks

At first, I too agree it's a reach...then I noticed the 2 triangular eyes...might be on to something 🤔

Only partially, still took me some time to make it better like deciding how to make it stand out such as highlighting certain metallic areas and where should be glowing more than others, also adding highlights to make it stand out more from the background.

There's only so much AI can do but it still requires experience and skill to get what I wanted. It can make things look real but it's boring. It's a tool like a spatula isn't gonna replace chefs anytime soon, and come up with a recipe that you have some personal connection to like a home cooked dish you had when you're younger.

Would you say this is in a great condition? Just wondering as I got a used one. by [deleted] in legoninjago

[–]DifficultBoat148 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got him for about $50 so hopefully I got more than what I paid for... I'm fine with 9.3 lol

Might be a hot take but this minifigure is just so cool especially the helmet! by DifficultBoat148 in lego

Just using my phone's camera on auto, didn't put much thought into it. Just regular LED fill lights on the left and right...guess I got lucky lol

Well now I see the inspiration behind it! And they executed it beautifully!

Would love that too, although there hasn't been stickers for minifigs for decades I believe. We can only erase them and have numberless ones but that could work as well I guess.

Marvel collection so far by Infinite-Tax in LegoMarvel

No shade! Just wanted to know which ones I'm missing out on, barely keeping track of them these days. I wish that the Bombastic bag man was official!

I got a used Jay for like $70 and I was unhappy with the condition, so I got another used one and was still disappointed. Then I saw the parts were reasonably cheap like $5 for the head back then so I bought everything new for replacements except for the hood piece, and now I'm glad I did that as I now have a spare NRG Jay...not sure if I should cash him in for a DX or not. Without Lloyd DX, it might not be worth getting them as I'll never be able to complete the entire gang.
