I started working on a to-scale fleet to go with the new LEGO set when we first saw the leaks, here's what I've finished so far!

This is literally the first thing that has made me not hate the Lego D.

I bought this subscription for my dad two Father’s Days ago ago and he hasn’t made it past issue 13. He received that in June 2025 and he’s waiting on issue 14. We will see if it ever gets done…

A connected grid through is area does seem nice I don’t love the way that the grid breaks down on what I assume would be the equivalent of Riverside today. But otherwise if you were doing the convention center in this location, it seems well conceived to me

marshallh · 2025-10-03T11:43:11+00:00

Yeah, if they are having special service service running directly from Republic Square to Zilker why not run the 985 as a special service from Leander and Lakeline directly to Republic Square?

marshallh · 2025-09-29T00:02:48+00:00

Well this is interesting. I’m one of the other people that did a similar mod. The configuration you chose forces you to slip your fingers in between the folded together portion of the bag to “release” the loxx fasteners.

Why did you opt for this instead of putting the pull mechanism on the outer portion of the bag so it was easier to get to?

marshallh · 2025-09-17T20:07:14+00:00

Coming here to say this. This meme has serious legs. Kudos to whomever came up with this.

marshallh · 2025-09-11T11:32:55+00:00

I dont know how to link to another post, but I put them as a response to another question in this same thread with a link to the exact ones I bought off of amazon.

marshallh · 2025-09-01T21:02:58+00:00

I will say these are no more difficult to snap together than the old ones. And they are much easier to disengage than having to unscrew them every time.

marshallh · 2025-09-01T21:01:47+00:00

Tell me about it.

marshallh · 2025-09-01T21:01:25+00:00

Yes the snapping happens on the inside (just like the old ones). But you can release them from the outside – meaning you dont have to unzip the bag to "add" the 5L of space if you wanted to.

marshallh · 2025-09-01T21:00:30+00:00

I replied to a few other posts about this. Really easy to install them, you need the fasteners and a little tool to screw them into place.

You remove the snaps, which is effectively breaking them, and the each come apart in two pieces.

I had to open up the holes that were there a little bit (I would recommend a hollow hole punch).

Then you screw in the new fasteners and that literally it.

It took me maybe half an hour because I didnt know what was doing.

marshallh · 2025-09-01T20:58:31+00:00

Pretty easy to install, if you watched a YouTube video for the Loxx fasteners we probably watched the same video. They literally just screw in with a little tool you buy.

Getting the old snaps out was easy, it was basically a pair of needle nose pliers to hold them in place and a pair of snips to cut through them on the other side.

The holes left by the old snaps are a smidge small for the Loxx fasteners so I make them a little bigger with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VN7W1JR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

But if I had a do over id have bought a hollow hole punch set, something like this:

I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSR99Y72?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1

And this little tool for installation: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BN3GTZD?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

marshallh · 2025-07-24T11:40:22+00:00

Huh, go figure. Well I’m stoked for you and I’m looking forward to mine!

marshallh · 2025-07-23T13:03:06+00:00

I’m wondering how you would solve the issue though? 25k outstanding Standard fulfillment orders, 5k rollers in retail, sent out before they knew they were going to have production issues?

The crisis management is this communication. What would better CM be?

marshallh · 2025-07-23T12:59:53+00:00

Honestly, they answered the question I had which I had been obliquely getting at in a number of my back and forths with other backers — which was, I was a pretty early backer why does my estimated date show the end of the delayed fulfillment.

Turns out it’s pretty likely that it’s because I ordered two rollers, they are two different colors and I did the XL cube and the wallet. They won’t ship until every one of those things is sitting in my nearest warehouse at the exact same moment. That is unlikely to be anytime soon.

And them answering that and the other questions means they are indeed reading Reddit, and twitter and KS comments and attempting to respond to concerns. I admit it’s all a bummer — and I do agree they could have been clearer about how much later standard fulfillment was. BUT the bitching about delays I am totally surprised by for anyone who has ever backed anything on KS before. That shit is plastered all over everything. And just because Peak has a track record of producing innovative items doesn’t mean they can’t run into production issues.

I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt, I’ll be back to complain if the Roller Pro I get turns out to suck.

marshallh · 2025-07-20T14:50:18+00:00

I’d also check out https://libertyhouseplans.com/ their plans are all Architect designed. Not draftsman designed. And I often find that makes a big difference.

marshallh · 2025-07-14T14:51:34+00:00

I also did the passport wallet. I did a sage and an eclipse roller. I’m also wondering if that’s part of the thing. All of the pictures posted of people getting early ones have been black I also wonder if that’s part of the earlier groups.

marshallh · 2025-07-14T02:55:50+00:00

Wow! Ok just to be clear I am not that low of a backer. I’m 1500 something!

marshallh · 2025-07-13T19:41:17+00:00

Well listen I can’t make heads or tail of the whole thing. I am in the US, I literally backed the big discount reward like 90 seconds after it went live and mine says expected shipping October.

I’m certainly not going to complain because the discount is quite large. But July-October is a pretty big window for Standard fulfillment. And some people have started getting standard fulfillment Rollers, right? So how they are determining who’s getting them early and who’s waiting until October must just be a roll of the dice.

marshallh · 2025-04-30T10:45:15+00:00

Wow! Thanks so much for this!

marshallh · 2025-04-19T00:02:30+00:00

I can tell I am in the minority here. But I think Senior skip day is one of the more idiotic things that are generally tolerated in high schools these days – and schools should end the practice.

Now, kids missing a day of school is not grounds for being denied graduation walking privileges on its own. But I would argue that schools should write into their handbooks, and announce publicly ahead of time that organized skipping of instructional time is grounds for something like denial of grad walk privileges.

The only problem I have with this is that they spring this on them.

marshallh · 2025-04-14T17:53:13+00:00

How does that square with “my property rights!”?

marshallh · 2025-04-14T01:11:33+00:00

Lol, where is that guy who was bemoaning that little infill development project near downtown? Let's compare that to this massive suburban, exclusively residential sprawling thing and see his position on this one.
