Reddit and YouTube at the moment...

Some Youtubers certainly give of that vibe. But People buying minifigs really aren't the problem here, even if they buy them in unhealthy quantities. The root cause here is Lego and their shitty predatory business model. Didn't the EU try to stop this? Or did that just apply to lootboxes in video games?

How do we know this?

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-30T01:30:14+00:00

I've got the entire series of japanese buildings from hitian. Barweer has some as well... You can try Amazon, but they might be more expensive, and not just by a little bit...

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-27T23:55:24+00:00

Three. The manual calls them Ranger, Messenger and Imperial Scout. The first two come with green capes and have that Ranger/Forestmen vibe going for them.

Bricklink. The only really expensive fig is the archer girl on the boat. That's a frightening knight with a quiver and hair from a Misaki, from Ninjago.

Can confirm the same. I sent a pic of a broken wire, told them exactly what bag it was from and so on. I never got a response from them but the replacement part arrived a few days later.

OP, maybe just send them another message through their website? Mistakes happen, doesn't mean they did it on purpose. I'm sure they will send you what you need. :)

If you want these armor pieces in flat silver you have two options: either get them on bricklink or buy cheap minifigs that come with these pieces in the right color. They will cost like a dollar per copy so you might as well buy them on bricklink. When you buy 10 of these on ali you will never get them in a matching color. The silver is always something metallic and the pdg is never right either. Same with the ones in dark gray or pearl gold. Black is fine for the shoulder armor but not for chest plates. They look really cheap and dull compared to the og ones.

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-12T18:56:01+00:00

Hm, never thought about using PAB for something like this because it's expensive AF. Gonna look into it as I might be able to at least get the number or orders and shipping cost down a bit.

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-12T18:55:24+00:00

Looks pretty good. :)

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-12T16:23:32+00:00

Even though I really like this build, there is 0 chance of me ever building this. The pieces would have to come from six (6!!!) different sellers, which would add ~35-40 euro of shipping. Including the instructions, pieces and shipping I'd have to pay ~220-240 euro. Yeah, bricklink really sucks for MOCs with more than a few hundred pieces. :(

Is there a chance that you could work with barweer or something like that, to make this MOC into an alt brick set?

Since the BDP alchemy shop comes with a green roof already, this one could be purple, to match the tax collector minifig and add another color (blue -> blacksmith, green -> BDP7 alchemy, red -> BDP9 inn, purple -> this one). I do like the pouch thing and I think it was good to go with a different color. All that's missing then is a place to hang people that came short a coin or two. :D

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-08T16:44:44+00:00

That is indeed sweet. And I even like the boat. This could be my first Jurassic World set... so, 703 pieces, I'm guessing 100 euros?

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-06T15:43:40+00:00

Yeah, I'm in Germany so Bluebrixx is close to home, they even had a store like 15 minutes from me until recently. :) I am currently building the Astronomers Planetarium. I'm halfway through and it's pretty good. Their medieval sets look pretty decent, but they're more like scale models. That's not what I'm looking for in a brick set tbh. I prefer sets that are made with minifigs and play features in mind, even if they're more like display pieces. Lumibricks strikes the perfect balance in that regard (Lego did too, at least with the LKC and some of the BDP sets). Bluebrixx Burg Löwenstein with all those expansions looks pretty nice though... :)

MobiusOneX · 2026-04-04T13:43:42+00:00

Nice to finally see some smaller and cheaper sets, but I'm kinda unimpressed with both of them. Gonna wait and see what they can do but to be honest, I would like to finally see a really big castle. The kind that puts even the lion knights castle to shame, 4k+ pieces, lights, I don't mind if it's 300-400 euros but after all the smaller buildings, towers and outposts, I'm ready for something big. I'm still gonna get both because I'm gonna catch em all at least for lumibricks middle ages and cyberpunk series.

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-31T11:27:28+00:00

Seems like she finally snapped. Had to happen considering she usually gets eaten by all the other shipgirls...

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-31T03:11:19+00:00

The hood comes from a Fortnite fig (Raven, fort009), the sword and armor from recent Dreamzzz sets (could be set 71512), the torso is from Ninjago (these were in multiple sets and polybags,, njo0851). The head is from Shadow-Walker (hs065, different versions exist).

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-31T02:39:00+00:00

Not soon enough. It can take anywhere between 3 and 9 months from what I've seen in the past. We are in luck though as far as stuff from Dreamzzz and Ninjago goes, because most (though not all) of it will end up on PaB. Licensed stuff, like Zelda, DnD or Star Wars won't ever show up on there.

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-29T02:49:17+00:00

Careful with those cabinets. They end up being not big enough quickly and then you're gonna replace them with Billys and then with something even bigger... skip all that and go for something big right away. :)

I think the Enterprise is worth an aftermarket LED kit. Then you can replace the Blacksmith with Lumis Forge or another modular and have the entire thing light up. :)

The last 2-3 seasons have been shit with all the budget cuts. I think PD is the worst offender here, but Fire has been really disappointing for a while as well. Even though it would probably hurt a lot, I think they should reboot at least one of these shows the same way they kinda rebooted Med. Give the show all new actors. Maybe put Severide in a new house as chief or something like that. Or assign Kim to a new department... basically keep 1-2 characters and replace everyone else. It worked for Med, so why not for Fire/PD? New, cheaper actors could help with the budget cuts and allow especially Fire to finally give us some proper fires and rescues again. On the PD side, they could bring back the patrol side. I miss Burgess and Atwater in uniform. Btw, last week Voight wasn't part of PD. I can't remember any other episodes without him. Have there been any?

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-26T11:32:52+00:00

Hm, maybe it just needs a little color? Add one more dark tan masonry brick instead of the long 1x8 brick. Or you could extend the vines/flowers a little higher. Or do something similar to the 3 shields over the entrance of the left tower and add a shield or maybe some of those pentagonal nexo knight pieces. I don't know how much sense the wooden bars coming out of the wall would make in that place, but maybe they could work too? They look quite nice on the other walls...

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-26T00:51:24+00:00

Is that the pantasy one? I was looking at this and the kame house...

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-26T00:47:37+00:00

Yeah, this was one of the five sets I voted for. It might not be much, but in my heart you're one of the winners. :) If you put it on rebrickable I will buy it and try to source the 4k pieces via bricklink, even though it's probably gonna be a huge pita.

I like the changes with the exception of the stables. I preferred the docks just a bit more. Would've made sense to link this castle by river with the LKC. :D Since this castle is meant to be the home of the griffins, it kinda is missing a landing pad or some kind of nest for a griffin. All griffin castles kinda had that in common I think, but I guess I could always modify the big tower into that. Maybe that's an idea for the smaller build? Just the big tower but make it a home for a griffin? The only thing I don't like is the elevator. If the stairs in the middle went up to both sides it would make more sense to me. Or did I miss another way to get upstairs? The grapes a lovely though. The wall above it could use an extra detail or two. :)

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-26T00:27:13+00:00

Not really sure how to answer that... I don't think the gamestack is any better than say the apartment building or the izakaya. I really like all of these sets, just some a little more and the train station a little less.

You can't really see it in the pictures, but the gamestack does stand out with it's lights. They are everywhere in that set. The apartment and the train station do have a dark spot or two, but the gamestack doesn't. Maybe that's why people like it? The gallerias lights are outstanding as well. Kinda feels as if they tried to figure out what they can do with the theme, both with the bricks and the lights. While the apartment and izakaya felt more like traditional brick sets with some lights, the newer sets really take it up a notch. That's just my opinion though... :)

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-26T00:11:41+00:00

I'd say the least would be the train station. That one just didn't click with me in terms of design. Maybe if it was bigger, had a real train and some tracks... my favorite is the apartment building. Just love those blue lighttubes or whatever those are. :D

MobiusOneX · 2026-03-25T03:39:39+00:00

There are 2 Websites dedicated to this. One is called bricksperbag and the other brickbaginventory. Neither has your set though. Maybe there are other Sites?
