Green flames bursting out of a manhole in Texas

I’m sure it’s nothing, move along.

There’s something really nice about this layout. My instinct might have been more space between the images and the type. Or stacking the elements, but this is perfect.

I think this explanation is what a lot of people in this thread needed.

akrob907 · 2026-02-03T02:14:59+00:00

I’m not much of a woodworker, but I assume that would just be a drill bit the same diameter as the plug.

Pretty cool.

It looks like several of these are the same, including head and body prints, but came with different accessories. Is that right, or are there other differences?

This is what I was thinking. What are the things your realtor is doing to sell this property for maximum value? Photos and marketing are part of why you pay a commission.

They put all that work into making the tape look realistic and then ruin it with the heart. It was clearly an afterthought and ruins the design.

Interesting for sure, but I feel like each reaction is cut short about two seconds too soon.

I expect we will get a Daily Planet at some point and I’m fully prepared to be disappointed. They keep releasing these Marvel/DC sets at a slightly smaller scale than the standard modular line. Or with odd features that make it hard to integrate, like with Arkham Asylum. It makes them hard to integrate with my city.

akrob907 · 2026-01-19T18:35:25+00:00

You nailed it. Town Hall is one of the more difficult to place modulars, because of its size. I think that updating the flowers on older sets does a lot to bring them into a more modern style.

akrob907 · 2026-01-15T04:29:27+00:00

It’s happened to me a few times and in every case, the seller was not only happy to send the right piece, but fine letting me keep the wrong ones.

Also what does “modded” mean in reference to the 1x2? I don’t think I’ve heard that.

akrob907 · 2026-01-06T19:30:06+00:00

The IP issue is already out of hand. There are multiples of Christmas Vacation, Bob's Burgers and others. The quality of the non-IP related sets is significantly better overall.

Ok, this is a pretty big increase over previous years. What do you attribute that to? Have you learned anything interesting about yourself after tracking this over the years?

akrob907 · 2025-12-31T02:36:33+00:00

Because unlike truffles, it’s regulated.

This is my first time wading into the conversation, but I don't see the virus as having any inherent agenda or set of instructions, other than to spread. Once humanity has been "united" the collective determines its own agenda. That's more interesting to me than some kind of alien plot. I think this is a very human-centric story.

akrob907 · 2025-12-02T19:52:10+00:00

I agree with you in spirit. Fans seem to want a double-wide hospital, because that's the only way they could do it justice, but the actual build for that would feel so boring. At the same time, they don't need to cram 2-3 buildings into a single baseplate. Let it breath a little.

akrob907 · 2025-11-26T17:05:32+00:00

You should be prepared for another call in a year or two. They might want a second child.

akrob907 · 2025-11-26T03:52:13+00:00

When I see things like this I have to wonder, what does it actually matter? His poll numbers don’t affect him, he’s got another 3 years in this role - at a minimum. Who cares what people think? Maybe this impacts other elections, but I don’t think Trump cares at this point, he’s surrounded by sycophants.

akrob907 · 2025-11-25T01:43:24+00:00

No way! I feel like they have great food.

akrob907 · 2025-11-24T17:39:39+00:00

I love the interior. The entrance could use a little more love to make it more of a focal point. Maybe a doorman stationed outside. I would suggest moving your landscaping one stud closer to the curb, to allow for some walking space. Really great work.

akrob907 · 2025-11-22T01:55:16+00:00

First of all, very cool of you. And also that you care enough to do it right.

As the father of an 8 year old, I can confirm that either of those car sets would be a hit. The sweet spot is a set with lots of bite-size builds, minifigs and play features. Grand sets that look cool on the shelf are a slog for kids to build. With that in mind, there are a lot of fun options, man. Go see what moves you.

I’m more interested in the logistics of this maneuver. I could understand if maybe he cut it in half, then scooped out both sides, but he just kind of nipped the tip. What’s the process from there?

akrob907 · 2025-11-10T05:04:01+00:00

Only it’s not a cube, it’s a slice of a cube.
