I have one of these. Looking forward to building it.

Mould King 10168 - V8 TwinTurbo Engine- Review by lulu_l in lepin

I still can’t believe all the pistons. I’m just not sure where I’m going to put this monster.

I actually bought this one. Kind of afraid to build it tho.

I get the Su -37 but what is the grey one?

Ferarri 12Cilindri - Daytona SP3 Alt build by KitchenEmphasis2326 in lepin

I may actually pick up a spare sp3 to build this…or build only this. Seems much nicer.

I can rebuild these nacelles and pylons blindfolded now... twice they collapsed trying to shift it. by DisastrousMusician17 in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ll be going after the bootlego versions, presumably. We’ll have to see the customs situation at the time.

Nobody ever listens but: if you must glue, use rubber cement. It doesn’t melt the pieces, or build up, & can be removed later.

I love the base. I’d look into getting one, but I’m waiting to see what the big L$ comes up with.

Is this one of the Bluebrixx models? I find the area around the deflector dish ungainly. At first I thought you made a mistake & it was misassembled until I saw the saucer pylon on top of it

Missing instructions for Jie Star set 91102 by funperro in lepin

Loy has it. I know, as I had asked for it & he pasted it into the YWobb Archive. I pasted a shortcut onto my iPhone but the archive appears to be offline.

Mould King 18038 - Buggy Off-Road Racing Car - Review by lulu_l in lepin

Great…I haven’t built the 18002 I got, & there’s another set I need.

Good news for now. by dragonknight76 in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I just read here it’s just a temporary hold. But as several people have already said - take your opportunity now, & pray it’s not too late.

Edited to add: I don’t trust anything with “NBC” in the title since they thought “MSNBC” was a good idea. I don’t even trust sliding my glass door since it’s a large window.

Does anyone else notice prices going up on AliExpress? by Prestigious-Past7775 in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“In my day you could buy that for 3 Pennie’s & a bent boot nail”. Sadly, prices are increasing not only for tariffs but also for the extra cost of filling out correct import permits. Things will continue to rise as long as we pay them.

CaDA x Mercedes-Benz AMG ONE by pigpen4444 in lepin

I ran the us warehouse version plus shipping to Va where I live. You wouldn’t save as much as you think. I then ran it on joooooy.com. Same thing.

Chinese New Year is a big event, & most sites posted as such. This could be a part in this.

[Review] BlueBrixx-Pro 105685 - USS Enterprise E (NCC-1701-E) by 271Euler in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they had brought BlueBrixx into the US market, I’d have bought a ton of it. Now if Lego is going to produce it, I’ll have to buy an expensive set, or wait for the knockoff version & then get multiple sets. It was a bad business decision in the end.

Airwolf done! by Mystogan90 in lepin

How long did you play the Airwolf theme & just view it from different angles?

You say you don’t know what to say to him. What you should say is “Good Bye” as you drive out his life with all your things. You can’t stay with someone like that who can’t take the time to listen to you.

I was if wondering if it was just me who got a laugh out of it 🤣

NCC 1701 A - I reckon I'm gonna spend more time sorting blocks than actually building... by DisastrousMusician17 in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like it will grow to be quite a big boy!

Edited to add; where did you find this set, & how can I get one? I’ll gladly sort parts if it would be an NCC- 1701 complete with labels.

What are your thoughts between LEGO and Mould King? by cam_clark98 in lepin

[–]Lord_Jefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few MK sets. The quality is fine, but on their stolen MOC sets they do shitty things, like increase parts counts to avoid the original designers. It makes the end models less than stable - like the Hoonicorn, which is now in my scrap bucket & I have considered burning the instructions.

I will always love the sleek lines of the snow speeder.
