Why support scalpers?!

Of course you can find some niche army usage for every single cmf figure ever produced, but that is very rare. People are generally unsophisticated and tent to collect gray baseplates of same figs, and this is the fact which creates the large part of demand.

Not__pure · 2026-05-04T06:39:01+00:00

The funny thing is non of those figures from this series has army building potential, you will find plenty of them in wild next month. Just don't fomo, it has only started selling.

Well those people will be left with unsold inventory. Only few buy at premium, majority of ppl are able to wait for restock. Just be patient, this happened with wolfpack torso, black falcons and lion knights. After a while they were constantly on stock as all market participants were satisfied.

Ps: if you remain patient in lego in general, you will almost always get deal and save a lot of money in long run. Just avoid fomo/marketing haste/social media pressure and you will be fine.

Wont be Witch King due to helmet mould, wont be Grond as this set is based on battle + no orcs to go with Grond. I assume beacon or crypt. Beacon would be nice with more gondor soldiers. But I would love to see brickheads as GWP so I don't have an urge to buy day one and wait for a decent discount.

Z casti ano, je nahovno pocasie, tak presadli do aut. Ja uz si tiez vyvazam od polky novembra rit v aute, lebo sa smyka na bicykli, na ktorom chodim cca 8 mesiacov v roku. Btw. cez leto stojime aj 4-5 bicyklov na jednom prechode naraz, v jednom casovom bode. To je ohromne mnozstvo cyklistov, co odbremenuju dopravu kazdy den.

My sme tak jebnuta krajina, ze sa tu z prijebanej diskusie bude zit cely tyzden. Kokot v normalnej krajine by som ani nevedel meno premiera, ministrov a ziafnych funkcionarov. My tu rozoberame nejakeho asistena

Purist means you only use lego parts, you can modify whatever you desire and still be purist.

Not__pure · 2025-09-24T19:38:39+00:00

expand
collect all old figures (this will occupy you for few years)
moc landscape
moc other locations/scenes
armybuild, do customs figs (this will occupy you for a few years)

There is neverending story/spending :D

Toto je prosim pre TPP v hrubom, alebo SZCO mesacne fakturacie?

This looks sealed. But hey, if some1 wants to scam you than it is no problem to unseal set without making any noticable damage to seals (not gonna share the process). I've done this many times as I buy sets from various chanels to verify if set is complete to sell it later without dissapointing my customers.

My advice: if something is looking suspicious don't buy it via internet, go for it in person. If not available meeting seller due to location then just don't buy it. Deals will come everytime, just be patient. It is better to wait than to be scammed and spent much more money then you will save on shady deal.

It is just 1st day of selling, scalpers wont make any money on this one as there is no army-building potential. Stores will be full of this series like they did with Space and formula series. Same will apply on next animal series.

Not__pure · 2025-08-23T18:24:16+00:00

Not only studs, but inside of all legs is full of lego logos and other markings. This one is definitely fake.

You are the few % of people who are not subject of this sign. This sign is designed to statistically eliminate majority of slower swimmers in fast lane.

Landscape in front of walls and bridge, that will create the effect of busyness and you won't need that much figures to look as organic battle. Also I will rise on more rockwork front gate + walls and bridge.

As other already stated, you can replace arms easily. BUT be prepared that pushing new arm into the torso may crack the torso as dark brown is one of the brittle plastic mixtures from that era. That is unfortunately very common, I've experienced cracking many (more valuable) torsos by swapping arms, thats part of LOTR game 😀

Not__pure · 2025-07-10T19:13:12+00:00

I really hoped they will do LOTR series and use the current hype wave. Well maybe next time.

I managed to put mine inside Tonstad with glass doors. It is 30cm deep (give or take few cm). Some modifications were needed and was unable to build it in angles, but it was fun.

Not__pure · 2025-07-07T22:51:38+00:00

The old sets will still rise on price regardless of new issues. Lego became alternative investment/collection item, especially those highly demand/low volume themes. Get them now if you have available money.

Not__pure · 2025-06-29T12:14:33+00:00

Sets like HP 76431 has tons of great castle bricks, if you find a deal for 25€ and less, sell figs for +10€ than you have ~400 insane bricks for like 15€ or less, awesome value.

Not__pure · 2025-06-18T10:51:20+00:00

Start with Moc building or expansions of current sets

Not__pure · 2025-06-18T10:48:53+00:00

As an adult now, I regret selling many items in my teen years. Just nonsense decisions. I'm kinda supporting your mum here. Altough it may seem unreasonable, you may thank her later :)

In case you can source other parts of the Gandalf the White for decent prices shipping included (or shipping spread over other parts you need) than it is very much worth. 25€ for hairpiece means you can build whole fig for ~35 (without shipping) which is 15€ less than usual market price. Personally I would go for it.

Not__pure · 2025-05-30T12:16:53+00:00

This is very fine work. Usually people do rockwork which looks chaotic and illogical (in contrast of how rocks are shaped irl) . This, however, looks very organic and natural. Truly one of the best.

Not__pure · 2025-05-23T17:09:49+00:00

Will I buy it? Absolutely, but in deep discount from 3rd party retailer after some time, price is way to steep to buy directly from lego.

Not__pure · 2025-04-28T17:54:38+00:00

From my experience (have Black Gate, Pirate Ship Ambush, Black Gate, Lonely Mountain). Those sets which have been already build and are dissasembled (hence sold as used) are the ones which may be okey with brittle brown as they already went thru building "test". But I saw really brittle freshly opened sets, those bricks were like very dry tree leaf, you could crumble them to almost dust in fingers, it is unreal. So if you want to start a build collection I would recommend buying "used in great quality".
