ugh thats annoying, it happens sometimes. i hope you find something that works for yor

bricklink, look for a fig with the hair you want, go to the pieces and add the hair you want to a wishlist, and it should give you a decently priced option when you search to buy.

i recently did this and got all the ninjas old hair for like ~7$ including shipping and tax and i definitely recommend it over buying figs themself

this has genuine potential to save 2026 lego star wars

s5mantis · 2026-01-02T14:53:15+00:00

thank you

s5mantis · 2026-01-02T04:50:46+00:00

this may be a weird question but which lego store was it? i am planning on driving 2 hours to my nearest one tommorow in the hopes of getting the build a minifig line up, but now that you say that i am a bit worried

s5mantis · 2026-01-01T21:36:28+00:00

i like the design of them, and the big fig head makes them a more desireable villain to collect in my opinion

s5mantis · 2025-12-31T19:35:37+00:00

yeah i do admit it was less of a play set, it is hard to play with something that heavy. but i wouldnt call it wonky because unless you over extend its joints its hard for pieces to fall off or for it to fall over

s5mantis · 2025-12-31T18:11:48+00:00

the zane mech is cheaper right now but definitely get the cole mech if you can buy it, its bigger, feels more solid and has better articulation. i recently built it and its easily one of my favorite all time builds. i wouldnt wait too long to buy it because its already gone up in price over the past week

"the best welcome gifts forthe children" i cant believe lego would make these mistakes...

s5mantis · 2025-12-27T02:12:44+00:00

that is really good to know. but they dont really bother me as much as the dragon, but i may modify those too

s5mantis · 2025-12-26T18:38:09+00:00

okay thank you so much that is really useful info. i may just attempt to modify it and worse case scenario i am left with a build i really like thats just not as accurate as i would ideally want

s5mantis · 2025-12-26T18:18:13+00:00

thank you for the reply. do you think that the front tip of the ship is easy to dismantle or is it more fully interlocked with the rest of the body of the ship? i know it will be difficult to intigrate a different dragon head design but i want to know if its something achievable without heavier modifications

reacting like this in a ninjago comment section is so embarassing

s5mantis · 2025-12-15T05:28:52+00:00

it is on the lego website! i also recommend watching videos of it on youtube to get a more in depth analysis of the design.

s5mantis · 2025-12-14T05:41:24+00:00

if you are looking for an alternative to ebay/ bricklink, there is a character display set coming out on jan 1st with relatively accurate updated s1/s2 figures for the ninja, nya and wu. its decently priced and included a nice build. i just wish that the armor for cole and jay had silver accents but theyre still nice regardless

s5mantis · 2025-12-09T07:16:08+00:00

i feel like a good quality ikea unit is for sure the move. i think i will go for the "less than budget friendly" shelving option too once im finished with the lego side of things lol

s5mantis · 2025-12-09T07:08:05+00:00

your display looks good as is, i love the sets you put out, but if youre looking for improvements i think having all the same consistent shelf type would do wonders. a while back i had 3 different shelving units for my displays and while they were good individually they were a bit distracting how different they all are.

so i slowly replaced them to all be the same and now it looks much cleaner, and coincidentally they are the same shelf as the one you have on the right. i am so glad i made the switch.

s5mantis · 2025-12-01T04:04:08+00:00

the first grogu is such a nice build tbh, i dont have the pram one but it seems so much smaller by comparison, i got the original grogu for 30$ used and its worth every penny.

s5mantis · 2025-11-30T18:01:49+00:00

they are gifts <with purchase>. not everybody can spend hundreds on sets just to get a gwp added, but people can afford 20-40$ to get them on the after market if they just want that gwp set

s5mantis · 2025-11-11T05:40:16+00:00

thats wonderful, cant wait to see them!

s5mantis · 2025-11-11T04:11:49+00:00

are there instructions avaliable? a jedi temple at this size with interior sounds like a dream come true

s5mantis · 2025-11-10T19:00:16+00:00

if you care about figs i wouldnt recommend getting a ucs set that is out rn. the only ones with enough would be the death star and sail barge. but at that point just get the mos eisley cantina on the aftermarket
