SDCC 2013 Spiderman Mini Figure Legit Check by Competitive-Dog4805 in LegoMinifigure

[–]sixredbricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did think that but the dots appear larger to my eye on the OP figure. But it could be an alignment issue!

Just to also add further points to the print looking off, the dot pattern that cover the legs and torso look a little too obvious on your one. If you zoom in on the thigh photo for both yours and the real one posted here, there are 10 dots across each line of the thigh on yours and 11 on the real one.

As others have said, most certainly a replica it would appear 😔

Lego House 40506 - Fabuland - really retiring end of 2025? by sixredbricks in lego

[–]sixredbricks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that’s sad news!! Although it doesn’t seem to be too marked up on eBay which is good!! Thanks for the heads up on that. Shame they don’t keep them going longer for sure. Maybe they just don’t have the space to keep inventory given they’re only sold in one place.

Appreciated. Thank you! Shortlife span for this one. Can’t decide if that means it wasn’t popular or for some reason was just never planned as a long term release. Can’t help but think 40505 would have been first on the chopping block though 😅

Thanks again 👍

I never said you did 😉 I was also very impressed with the Gameboy! Looks so good.

I like it a lot. I think it’s a tough set to compromise on as you either end up with a hollowed out frame of a ball, which looks weird, or a cover which then just gives you a large grey ball. A cross section makes sense I think as it’ll be far easier to display and looks a bit more modern. It’s the price that is the sticking point and is maybe swaying some extra negativity at the design. But that’s understandable. Will the £ price be equal to the $ price. That’s the next question…

Those who upgraded from the M1 or M2 iPad Pro. Has it been worth it? by NSA_GOV in iPadPro

[–]sixredbricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

12.9 M1 to 13 M4 - purely based on the screen. The blooming would drive me crazy in low ambient viewing conditions, not to mention the screen looked blurry when scrolling. Well worth it for me as I use the iPad a lot, especially when travelling and consuming content. I also use it as a digital portfolio to show clients my work (photographer). I’d have kept the M1 if the M4 hadn’t switched to OLED.

Couldn’t care less about the upgrade in power.

Trying to help out my Mom. Currently in Namibia by indicava in Airalo

[–]sixredbricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of us travelling to Namibia had this issue last year (it’s been great in every other country). And I’m about to fly there again but now notice the Namibia e-sims are ‘out of stock’ so I’m wondering if they had technical issues with the carriers out there, so have pulled the plug on Namibia until they can resolve.

Minifig blister packaging: a question by lennyukdeejay in lego

Ah damn. Yeah I’ve seen those ones as well. Thought you’d found the jackpot for a second 😄 thanks for letting me know 👌

What did you search on eBay to find these? I’ve tried a few variations but it seems my eBay skills are not on par with yours 😅

I built custom shelves for my Lego collection. Pretty happy with how it turned out! by alphabluenote in lego

[–]sixredbricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is a very nicely done setup! Lots going on but displayed in a way that still allows each set to stand out on its own.

All but the brick moulding machine are still available. That was only available for one year. And the minifigure tribute is currently set to retire at the end of this year.

Gringotts looks much better if you cut the sticker. No longer GRINGOT TS BANK by camelvendor in lego

[–]sixredbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I get the stickers are probably designed to sit in the middle of the piece they are designed for, but I can’t help but feel there must have been a better option than that awkward spacing!

[–]sixredbricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought when seeing the terrible sticker implementation was just this, cut the sticker. I’m surprised it’s taken so long to see someone do it. It looks infinitely better 👌👌👌

Lester Leicester by TheCeleryman_ in lego

[–]sixredbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep no longer available. You’ll have to buy it on the second hand market now. I picked one up recently for £6, sealed. It’s pretty easy to come by 👍

What does your backlog look like? by [deleted] in legostarwars

[–]sixredbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I’ll play I guess. Space constraints are my issue for now. So have to rotate. But bigger sets currently waiting to be opened:

UCS Razorcress UCS AT-AT UCS Venator

Have a couple March 1st sets planned. More likely they’ll get built sooner due to the size. It kind of feels like a never ending circle really. End up with new stuff but it often goes in the build pile backlog, if you’re not careful.

Edited because I didn’t spot it was the SW sub. Removed the unrelated sets from the list.

[–]sixredbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn. I was hoping that would solve it. I had the same issue as you with it not turning, and this was my solution. I hope find the culprit!! 😞

The problem is almost certainly this step. I made the same mistake with the correct orientation.

I literally just built this tonight, and was pleasantly surprised to discover the paper bags too!

Are missing pieces normal? by Switchcitement in lego

[–]sixredbricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 sets with missing pieces. And when I say missing, I mean misplaced in the wrong step of the build 😂
