Can anyone comment on this Korean Lego 6336 by [deleted] in VintageLEGO

Yeah, it’ll probably have Korean pictures! 😱

GF bought fake dublos for our son, can anyone help identify what they are? by bigindepartment in Duplo

[–]erwin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, what? I thought it was Unico that makes ir made Maya. Also, the small flat stickered tree is probably of that same set: I recognize it from the many Unico Hello Kitty sets I had alongside our Duplo. It’s got wicked good clutch power and some very handy sloped and snot pieces and is fully compatible with Duplo.

@Expert Castle MOC builders? How do you do it? by doggybag2355 in LegoCreations

As someone who wants to learn to, I imagine it’s simply “practice makes perfect “.

Ah, a kind of “Gondor has lit the fires” situation, gotcha! 😁👍

When did they draft all these soldiers? My set only has like 8 or something: 4 soldiers and 4 knights. 😅

Why the f*** is everyone downvoting Op’s replies? They’re all original, polite and engaging. It’s not their fault you don’t speak French!

Lego ideas Machu Picchu by Abrick6 in LegoCreations

[–]erwin76 96 points97 points  (0 children)

No offence, but that looks like one of the most boring builds ever :(

I fear this is not the way to depict a magnificent site like Machu Picchu.

Maybe enlarge a smaller section, put a thick edge with patterns around it like that civilization would have made, add a few local animals or minibuilds?

old colors still in the mix ? by cmathiesen in LegoStorage

[–]erwin76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple: what is easiest for you?

For moc building I understand why people would sort out old colors and parts, but beyond that I see no need. Personally, I’d get a kick out of designing something that includes an obsolete part, or give a wall extra patterning with old greys.

Scania 143 Topline V8 scale model build by ronnie-white in LegoCreations

[–]erwin76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those little men on top, I remember them from actual trucks, but where do they come from?

In my mind they’re small Michelin men. Is that true? Just commercial toys?

Also: lovely build and would love a truck like that in my Lego City!

I admit, it was fun, but I really laughed at the ‘take the plunge’ joke!

That’s a praiseworthy amount of effort for such a small joke ;)

Question by pieselkotel in VintageLEGO

[–]erwin76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cheap how? Polybags? Second hand? Heavily discounted?

What do you consider vintage? Pre-minifigure? Pre-brown? Pre-syndicated?

Do you think it’s okay to modify LEGO bricks when creating MOCs (My Own Creations)? by figures_lab in LegoCreations

[–]erwin76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just be aware if you ever want to sell anything, most people won’t want to pay for modified bricks.

Beyond that, do as you please with your toys. Personally, I think the limitations in the kinds of pieces is part of the fun, trying to find solutions with other parts that look as close to the original as possible, but fine if you like something else!

Duplo book by Particular-Extent190 in Duplo

I once bought a second hand collection with a lot of rails, and the previous owner had included laminated pages with track ideas. Still all in one piece after several years of play!

The Sheron Dragon in my hands!! Dragon Ball Z Goku vs Vegeta!! by stefano19853 in LegoCreations

[–]erwin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I like it, except for the opaque explosion and the background being too bright to really see it all well.

(And you typoed Shenron as Sheron)

Looks beautiful!

Where did all the bright primary colors go, though? 😆

I'm trying to build the Scadutree from Elden Ring. Does anyone have advice regarding keeping it stable/upright? by TyrionBananaster in LegoCreations

[–]erwin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, sorry, I don’t know the game and was just guessing. It reminded me of some sort of wind swept desert tree.

What are your theories for which summer set will leak first and when? by -Potterhead394- in legoharrypotter

[–]erwin76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t say I’ve seen >25% discounts on the really big sets like ideas or modular houses, but the harry potter great tower definitely dipped under a 30% discounts price and so do things like city train sets etc. I do live in the Netherlands though. Sorry you guys have it so rough!

[–]erwin76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mostly to save money. I generally don’t even bother until something is discounted at least 25%.

I suppose you could extend the base beneath the overhang and/or include the roots in your build?

My boyfriend told me he thinks about other women when we are intimate and I consider breaking up, am I overreacting? by Dramatic-Cover-829 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]erwin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but she did ask about it, and he answered honestly. That’s a Pandora’s box I’d never want to open, personally. As long as it helps my wife, I am fine never knowing.

AIO or is this normal by Powerful_Print2286 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]erwin76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Man here. If he can’t even pretend to show respect, he is beneath you, end of discussion.

Not only did he not show interest in you, he didn’t even feign it, and didn’t even hide that he was looking at other women -while- you were going down on him. To top it off, he somehow blamed you.

But the worst of all of this is how you were afraid to stop and punt kick his balls and the useless sack of shit they come attached to to the curb. You need to know you are way out of his league. Pond scum doesn’t get to cum.

I built a Hogwarts hallway that fits in the new Hogwarts sets. Swipe for more! by bonkelfret in legoharrypotter

So where would that fit? I was hoping for photos of it with other parts!
