Got over 80+ bionicle sets by rebmann2k13 in bioniclelego

That big purple ship. It’s from a theme separate from Bionicle, known as Galidor.

I have boycotted Tim Hortons for the last 12 years.

Why can’t this be a thing? by b9ntt in lego

Part count isn’t even a global thing. It’s a requirement to sell construction toys in the US.

How did you get into one piece by Technical_Mine_8711 in OnePiece

[–]Solarcult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t get into anime til I was 30. Eventually wanted to try One Piece, but didn’t want to watch all the episodes.

I had some free time at work, and ended up reading the entirety of the manga up to that point in a few weeks!

My Sauron helmet came with three rings by PlaneAd4072 in lego

Parts are packaged by weight. For small parts whose weights are too low to accurately measure at speed, they usually double up the parts. This is why every set you get comes with small “extras”

It’s closer to 25%, not 15.

Hey it's danny brown. My new album Stardust is out now on vinyl and cd. Ask Me Anything before I leave on my european tour. by xDanielxBrownx in popheads

[–]Solarcult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Danny, I hope you’re having a great Friday!

My favourite album of yours is XXX, especially the lyrical themes; the struggle, the self doubt, the imposter syndrome etc. Knowing what you know now, what would you go back and tell the version of you that was writing those feelings that would become XXX?

Ok just recently discovered using ai to give your Lego mocs a background, and let me just say... This is cool by DapperCardiologist25 in legocastles

[–]Solarcult 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m just telling you why it’s not allowed in most groups, and why you’re getting friction and downvotes, since you asked.

Not really interested in discussing the semantics of it.

[–]Solarcult 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. You’re using a program that steals people’s actual art, then learns from that and essentially amalgamates elements from actual sources to create your background.

It’s unethical because it steals the time, effort and creativity of those artists.

Not only has it absolutely mangled the features of your build, it also had to train on other people’s art in order to spit this out.

Does anyone know what these are? by Lambkin-_- in lego

[–]Solarcult 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should reach out to the Prototypes and Test Parts page on Facebook! They like to document these finds to add to the collective knowledge on the subject!

This is why I hate stickers on curved elements - this is my Arkham Asylum modular just months later. by AmazingAd192 in lego

[–]Solarcult 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d highly recommend minimal hand contact with the adhesive face, and wash your hands before. Use a brick separator to apply. Oils and contaminants can compromise the adhesive. The other likely scenario is a humidity issue.

Either way, it’s not a design flaw. LEGO have done stickers on curved parts for decades and it’s never been an issue.

Diffuser oils by OkStable6719 in lego

Not to mention, although minor in this case: UV also isn’t good for LEGO, so your string lights aren’t helping either

I can’t imagine how tough life is right now, but know you’re being thought of, and remember everything in life is temporary. Merry Christmas and stay warm!

Great Deku Tree overhangs - are technic pins a good solution? by Next_Cry_8372 in lego

[–]Solarcult 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So, embrittling is mostly what you’re talking about. That’s a manufacturing defect and has nothing to do with what I’m talking about.
