I can't believe it. Nobody choked on a real block after this became available yet? You'd expect hundreds to be dead by now.

LEGO secret vault contains all sets in history

I couldn't actually read that, the writing is so awful

And then it hit me. Lift off. Godspeed. Boom.

A wave of emotions took control, hitting my head like a Lego Airbus 380. Dozens of images started to appear in my head, Polaroids of Xmas and birthdays that I thought were faded, completely fresh, color-corrected, and restored by the damn Lucasfilm for a Blu-ray re-release.

seriously what the fuck

Brickfest is going on in Portland this weekend

asked this on the spaceship thread and thought I'd try again:

OK, need help. I used to have a couple lego style toys. I don't think the blocks etc were compatible. They were major ships (naval and civilian) that were in a smaller scale than most lego things. A destroyer was 6 to 8 inches long and it came with a small helicopter. Anybody know the brand? It seemed almost fancier than lego. Any ideas?

Also, the "studs" had a recess unlike lego. The ship models were only four studs wide. The bows of the ships were fully formed with a bow "cap" that would have the name of the ship.

Anyone??

figured it out! TENTE.

how are they quality-wise? I can't believe none of the knockoffs are able to get close to lego-quality. it's just plastic right?

The bricks need to be made to an accuracy of three thousands of an inch.

I don't know what else to say other than we live in a world where you can purchase official sets based on Frank Lloyd Wright creations:

I don't understand why the batman kits are all, like, 3 times more expensive than any other kits of equivalent size.

nerd market

I kind of like the idea of the plodding, boring, barely rewarding labour of putting together a Frank Lloyd Wright Lego. It seems like it would be relaxing and kind of keep me busy for a while. I could have the TV on in the background... Put a pot of coffee on... I wonder how much it costs and how long it would take me to build?

whilst the story's real, that picture is a rendering, probably box art. the real version wouldn't have those lines between the cream bricks (which spoils it for me)

yeah the same to be said about the star wars stuff, ridiculously priced.

Seriously, "3 times more expensive" was a huge understatement:

Just insane!

I've been on a lego kick lately, and some of the custom builds are pretty fun:

that's not really a valid comparison though. like comparing eggs with faberge eggs (ok, not like that at all). the batman stuff's a lot rarer.

i have a lot of the star wars lego and it was never that much more than similar sized sets. but then it was available everywhere.

It's fake rarity though, right? That stuff's all still in production, they just don't produce much of it. S'just frustrating when you've got a lego-loving, batman-loving four year old.

> they just don't produce much of it.

if this is true then they are idiots - all that extra markup is going into middlemen's pockets, not theirs. but it's Lego that people are getting pissed off at.
