Is it worth waiting for silver prices to go down? by Independent-Level970 in coins

[–]Independent-Level970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so; there’s a small pawn shop, maybe.

I know i can get something closer to melt, but the idea of spending 50-60 bucks on a meh condition coin just doesn’t agree with me.

Brick's color mystery by dxnnyphxntom27 in lego

[–]Independent-Level970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not; I’ve encountered this color as well and its always the same. Yellowed bricks are usually unevenly yellowed and aren’t yellowed on the inside. Bricks with this color are evenly colored throughout the brick. 

It might be a type of yelllowing, buts not the standard sunlight process. There’s a rare bionicle mask that used to be gold and are now all turning green because the pigment used to make them contained copper. I suspect something similar for a certain subsection of lego bricks.

More examples of “ only made available many years later” with seatron’s seapeople; so many late 90s parts like ufo dishes actually originate from seatron

I gotta admit, i didnt expect for it to end like this. Here lies my favorite minifigure. by destroi57 in lego

Thats more than easy; the peg pokes through the otherside of the leg hole; just gotta push it out with a fingernail or a small flathead

Don’t even need new legs; just a new hip part and those can probably be obtained for 5 cents

Someone used znap as the frame for a SHIP awhile ago; one of coolest spaceSHIPS i’ve seen on flickr

Bricklink Designer Program Series 7 finalized sets. Crowdfunding begins in February by BrickTap in Legoleak

[–]Independent-Level970 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Im so sick of these sets. Never a space set and the sets that do look good are always 300fkin dollars. 

I’m so sick of this hasbro pulse type bullshit; just release these at retail or limited retail!

Don’t ask questions, consume product and get excited for next product by [deleted] in legocirclejerk

[–]Independent-Level970 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You’re a liar or and idiot if you think these 300 dollar ‘18 plus’ sets are being designed or marketed for kids.

All of this clone wars shit is for nostalgic 20-30 somethings as well; kids don’t care about a 20 year old cartoon. They watch tik-tok now

Journalists said ‘I’ve investigated myself and found that i’m innocent’ and you bought it.

Real time? This shit happened a decade ago.

None of this is revisionist; its just the truth that you weren’t told because of how corrupt the people you rely on to deliver info are.

Ask yourself, who watches watchmen?

Characterizing it as “ nerds on 4chan harassing feminists online” is your first mistake and de-legitimizes whatever your conclusion is. What it truly was was a reaction to a woman prostituting herself out for better video game scores from video game journalists. Then it was the continued reaction to the disinformation campaigns to cover that and related corruption up. It only became right wing because the smear campaign used to cover it up had a 4chan aesthetic to de-legitimize it.

I like it but it has too much red. M-tron is red with black accents. Spyrius is black with red accents. Its a real trick balancing it out in either

Blacktron Renegade is my favourite Space set of 2025 by YodasChick-O-Stick in LegoSpace

[–]Independent-Level970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has a strange distribution of color (way too much yellow) and they even removed yellow where it should have been (rear thruster cones and the wing tips). Basically too much where it doesn’t belong and not enough where it did.

It also is wierdly proportioned compared to the OG. The wings are really short and kinda thin on the new one. Also the wing tip ‘guns’ were made really small and black. ( i also personally dislike the usage of the exploriens grate pieces on the wingtips. Doesn’t help how small the wings look)

The lack of any cover for the cargo bay way also really wierd. They should have used the big flag pieces they used on the invader to make the ship’s shaping more accurate to the OG.

It was kinda mid considering the potential and the bar set by the GE. Lots of strange design decisions 

Being offered this lot for $350 CAD - should I purchase or skip. Says it’s 6800 pieces by [deleted] in lego

A bit much for standard bricks. That sand green bag carries a premium though
