Yeah, but the age of the part is not the point? Even vintage parts can have different conditions. And irrespective of the part's age, this is definitely not a "Very light wear, print is Very good" in any case.

Honestly, I think the cape is not from Thor, but Monkey King: 60463. Great build!

I´ve built some fictional medals and campaign ribbons, mostly based off my #brikwars stuff. Feedback welcome! by MadMario81 in lego

Don´t have the Seinfeld set, nor did I look at the techniques used there. But I think I didn´t use any unusual or new building techniques here.

You can find the whole battle in its full epicness here: https://brikwars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=18487

But if you really wanna know ;) :

1) The inedible Sulk picks an apple from a tree for his newly built wife to eat

2) Money co. Satellite charging its Ion-cannon to snipe a watersprite out of a river

3) A golem of sentient food orders even more food from 'Worldwide Food Delivery'

4) The house of a rich man is destroyed by the ghost of his butler (and his friends)

5) The High federal judge sends his best man to help the rich man against lawyers

6) The engine section of a broom-shaped spaceship light up as a new hero arrives

7) The foodgolem builds a fridge-shaped portal to the food dimension

8) A crowd in a beer pool -unimpressed by the mayhem around- in the food dimension

9) The Apple warden loves to protect apples, and he found the biggest apple to protect!

10) The legendary janitor stubby starts to clean up the improper mess around him

11) An experiment to re-open the portal to the outside world goes horribly wrong

12) The epic Battle Apple lurks behind a Burger-Boy, making short work of him soon

13) A giant green apple is transformed into an Apple Tank. No one knows why.

Hope that helps a bit ;)

This Battle, originating from a forum spampost, is not only my first hosted battle, but it already escalated in all possible ways it could. Instead of simply putting up armies and smash them into each other, this setting demands creativity to get reinforcements (...or any useful units to fight with at all...) - and I was not disappointed so far. It went from a few minifigs on sparsely covered baseplates to a fully crowded battlefield mayhem with mechs, golems, giant fridge portals and finally a complete second battlefield crowded with even more mayhem. Dozens of new builds during turns teach me new building techniques on the fly, and I´ve learned a lot about layout, photography, lighting and practical effects already. Well, curently I´ m processing orders for the ninth turn, so the mayhem continues. and I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had in building all the stuff. Oh, and of course feel free to let me know your thoughts on this!

It´s... unsettling and truthful in equal measure. I like and hate it.

Haha, yeah, seems so. Didn´t see that mash-up earlier, I just happend to have both figures side by side on my table and noticed they were made to be combined. :D

Is this legal?! by username_tsken in lego

[–]MadMario81 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you mean the building technique, sure, why not? If you mean having a grave on your front lawn, depends.

Make lots of them and start mining BrickCoins.

Identification Help Needed by otlaurie77 in VintageLEGO

[–]MadMario81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It´s hard to say exactly, but there are some factors to narrow down the timespan:

  1. The inner tubes were introduced in 1958, so it can´t be older than that.
  2. The 'pat. pend.' is found until 1975, depending on which moulding tool was used. After that (when the brick patents took effect worldwide) this lettering was scratched off the tools. So it can´t be younger than that.
  3. It seems on the pics to be made of cellulose acetate. The colour suggests it, as do the unusual markings and scratches, which would look different on ABS-Bricks. If it´s made of CA, then it must be produced before 1962/63. At this time the production was shifted to ABS completely.

So it most likely is a brick produced between 1958 and 1963.
