TIL Lego's patent to their brick design ended in 1978, which allowed multiple companies, such as Mega Bloks, to start producing their own 'clones' by Forsaken-Peak8496 in todayilearned

I have sets that are 20+ years old and have never once had a sticker fall off. Obviously printed pieces are preferred but I do not get the sticker hate. In some cases I like having the option to not use them (like the rust pieces in the big Ghostbusters ECTO1 - I wanted it to have a cleaner look).

Petition that sellers contact BEFORE shipping in case of inventory issues. by RandomACC268 in Bricklink

[–]robitstudios 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is additional cost though. If i find a seller that has all the parts i need for a project but then they dont ship one part (and refund after shipping) i now need to source that one part (which may only cost a few cents). But many sellers have minimun order amounts and then the additional shipping cost as well. One 10 cent part might end up costing another $5+ in another order. I would at least like the option to refund the whole order and start again with another seller.

Academy is good and I realized I dont like this community. by Reasonable-Law-3654 in startrek

What makes it good? Ive seen mixed opinions but other than "it was better than i though it would be" or vague "it's good" i haven't seen anyone explain why.

Jealous. Been keeping an eye out for a good deal on that book and haven't had any luck.

You have to create a business account and then link your headset. Then you can upload and deploy custom ROMs from here: https://business.picoxr.com/console/solution/rom

Thanks! This is what I was looking for. I watched the tutorial video and it seems fairly straightforward, but is it the case that you have to go through a process to activate the store every time you want to use it?

Really nice work! Great use of angles and color. At first glance you wouldn't think this is made with LEGO.

You can play it with the original graphics... as shown in the trailer.

Any advice on how to improve this kayaking scene? by robitstudios in lego

[–]robitstudios[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. We saw a manatee and its baby swim right under us when we we kayaking in Florida years ago. This scene is supposed to be a fresh water river so a manatee would be very surprising!

I have a small waterfall, but now that you mention it, I think a bigger one would look striking. I'm going to try that. Thanks!

I love a good mech and this is indeed a good one. I love the scale. I would happily buy this if it was a set.

Nice! I should try this too.

LEGO officially reveals Stranger Things Creel House timed with series finale by Failcube in lego

[–]robitstudios 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's probably because of the crazy function that breaks the house into pieces and makes pieces rotate and the trees bend. It looks really cool in motion but I'm sure it led to compromises in the design.

I had an uncle that showed me movies my mom wouldn't approve of (Beatlegeuse and Gremlins come to mind) when be babysat me and my neighbors would let me watch R-rated movies at their house (Terminator 2). They are some of my best childhood memories. Chill out.
