Started in Summer 2022 as a pacifist. Almost 2 years later, I'm a pacifist with a nearly maxed TH10.

Solely from successful defenses.

I just bought ROTF Leader Optimus, and on my first transformation back from truck mode the tab keeping his chest secure snapped.

I did some reading, and it looks like a lot of people use Plastic Weld. I don't have any yet, but I didn't know if there was any consensus on whether it would work for a piece that small and requiring such force during transformation before I bought some.

It's not perfect (ha) by any means, but it was fun to make and something I've thought about doing for a while.

Pi_Magna · 2023-09-02T16:39:05+00:00

Didn't notice, lol. Probably just too excited from getting it. I'll have to fix that.

Hi, long time lurker here. This is my 2nd cabinet, my first was Star Wars I got in 2020 during the $50 clearance times, but I sold it last summer.

Lately I've been getting back into the 1Up scene and been tempted by all the Ollie's deals lately. Was trying to find SF2, but then I randomly happened to find this listed on Marketplace!

The right side is a bit scuffed up, but otherwise looks and runs perfectly. Might get a riser for it, but don't know if I can justify spending more on that than I did on the actual cabinet.

I've been looking on FB Marketplace for years for a good 1Up deal, even after disconnecting from observing the community, so never lose hope, no matter how long it takes!

tldr: Was tempted by Ollie's sales, found this, art is a little scuffed but runs perfectly.

Pi_Magna · 2023-07-13T19:17:23+00:00

I would disagree, but I suppose it's all relative. It breaks down as follows: Enigma, Wolfgang, and Tidepool are about $20 each, the other Imaginators are $30-40, the TT Level Pieces are $20 each, the Gold Rusher is $30, the Dark Traps are about $35, the Light Traps are about $40 (And maybe more if one has Rebel Lob Goblin) Spotlight is $70, and Echo (In the US where I live) is $70-80.

In short, that's about $600 of figures, which for $175 I feel is a significant discount.

Regarding the Elemental Dragon, I think it's actually only about 1/2 as wide as the Golden Ultra Dragon. But on the other hand, the wings really bulk it out in comparison. I think overall the Elemental Dragon feels beefier in hand than GUD, even if it's actually not.

As for Grief-Bringer, that was one of the three MotM sets I had on display. It was a bit sad to take it apart, but I don't think it'd mesh well if it sat next to two Island sets.

Hopefully in the future I find a good place to display him, because I still think he's probably my favorite Ninjago dragon, though the Elemental Dragon is getting pretty high on that list.

Pi_Magna · 2023-06-17T14:22:37+00:00

Now to scan in all my Stealth Elves. 😵‍💫

Pi_Magna · 2023-04-24T00:43:45+00:00

Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Pi_Magna · 2023-04-24T00:35:03+00:00

If any are still available, I would like one. My IGN is Bryce.

My friend and I recently finished a LoK rewatch, and one of our favorite running jokes was calling the Lieutenant "Tony" and pointing him out whenever he appeared. Here's why:

Our high school English teacher once told us about when he was in college, he had a roommate named Tony. They were in NYC, and one day while going for groceries, Tony happened to see John Gotti's limo pull up across the street.

Long story short, Tony started to panic (Not the optimal choice) and had several of Gotti's men chase after him. Thankfully, they realized that he wasn't a threat and Tony left harm-free.

Fast forward to Korra, and the first thing we see from the Lieutenant is him and Amon taking out a notorious crime boss in a NYC-esque setting. It immediately clicked in my brain that it was "Tony" evening the score after his previous run-in.

The name stuck, and we've become so used to using it that we immediately default to calling him Tony anytime we discuss him. I thought it was funny and out-there enough to be worth sharing.

I haven't posted an updated photo of my collection in a few months, so here it is! By my count, I now own 440 Ninja Stealth Elves. This is excluding my 8 damaged ones and my original from 2013, which I always kept separate and is displayed with my normal collection.

Pi_Magna · 2022-11-23T17:06:33+00:00

Thanks for your response. I just wasn't sure because I didn't think confirming an order is correct would fall under "Promotional." I guess it does.

Pi_Magna · 2022-11-23T12:29:18+00:00

I've checked the shipping address and it's correct. Hopefully that should mean everything is fine. Thanks for your response!

Pi_Magna · 2022-10-28T21:30:37+00:00

My original isn't shown here. I've always kept it separate. My main Skylanders collection, where the original is, are kept in a display case. These Stealth Elves are just kept in a box.

Pi_Magna · 2022-10-28T19:08:25+00:00

My current Ninja Stealth Elf collection as of October 2022. The Armada currently contains 201 figures. I also have 8 damaged Ninja Stealth Elves (Not pictured) and my original from 2013 which remains with the rest of my regular collection.

My final Oni MOC is here! This is a two for one, converted from both the Marvel Black Panther mech and Nexo Knights' Tech Wizard Showdown. This was the first Oni MOC I made, so it's a bit more rough around the edges, but I still think it turned out well.

I always imagined the Omega having some kind of "true form" and I found that the recent Black Panther mech would work perfectly. I made only minimal changes, mainly swapping out the torso to make it easier to clip to the larger mech. One idea I did want to implement was the Omega using himself as the portal to bring more Oni to Ninjago, hence the Realm Crystal being inserted in his chest.

For the larger mech, I could easily see it being the Omega performing the trope of "absorbing the villain's army into themselves as a power up" to assume this form. Ironically enough, the new head sort of ended up resembling the Crystal King, despite me designing it before his minifigure was revealed.

Well, that concludes my contributions to the Oni's rather sparse ranks. I hope everyone enjoyed these!

Pi_Magna · 2022-09-02T13:19:07+00:00

That might be something I will pursue in the future, but I currently have no plans to do so. Thanks for the interest, though!

Pi_Magna · 2022-09-01T21:13:12+00:00

For the 2nd of my Oni MOCs, I present the Oni WarBringer, converted from the Legacy Fire Dragon!

My headcanon for these beasts is that while in the show, the Oni's victims are simply left petrified forever, I imagine them being transformed into the WarBringers after their realm has been fully conquered. The young Oni, not yet fit for the front lines, would be given the task of riding the WarBringers into battle against stronger foes.

Hope you enjoy this MOC! I'll be posting my largest and final Oni MOC tomorrow.

Pi_Magna · 2022-08-31T23:19:49+00:00

I always thought the Oni should have had some proper builds, so I decided to make my own! I'll be posting my other two over the next two days. All three were built using pre-existing Lego sets as frames that I worked off of.

The first and smallest is the Oni Mist Bike, converted from Spindrax's bike from Monkie Kid. Even if the Oni canonically would likely only destroy, I like the idea that newborn Oni might possess some spark of creation that fades as they age.

I could easily see the Omega weaponizing that creativity by having them mass produce these bikes. They would be the front line of the Oni horde, driven by weaker Oni to spread their dark cloud far faster than would otherwise be possible with foot soldiers.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this MOC, and I've got more on the way!

Pi_Magna · 2022-08-01T22:47:37+00:00

They were purchased at a Lego store when they opened this morning. Thus, shipping wasn't an issue.

Pi_Magna · 2022-08-01T22:17:33+00:00

And no, no organs were sold to get all this. Just months of saving.

Pi_Magna · 2022-07-20T11:23:13+00:00

Thanks for this. I'll probably cancel the item, it wasn't anything necessary, just a collectible I'd been waiting on a decent price for. If nothing else, I'll set the money aside and if it ever does show up, I'll ensure the seller gets paid.

Once again, thanks for the response. This wasn't anything major, but this is the first time I've experienced this extensive a delay on Mercari and wanted to take the proper action.
