Are there too many licensed LEGO themes?
Calanon replied to imposter's topic in General LEGO Discussion
And even within LSW when we make the same things people have quite different goals. Brickvault is very popular with their "best version of X EVAR" but many builds are highly fragile with delicate connections. Then you've got someone like BaufmanBricks building in a smaller scale than a lot of people (also, how he scales different sized craft is rather good) and emphasises having functionality over absolute perfect detail. -

Do they really though? I'm very much into SW and I've seen plenty of people create Star War-sy feeling vehicles that don't exist in SW. That's definitely using imagination and creativity. I don't tend to do that, I try and make vehicles etc from SW but I try to stick close to a specific scale and I very much enjoy the challenge of trying to get something looking good, accurate and in-scale. Is that not its own form of creativity with trying to find ways to best use different pieces? -

I presume we are only allowed one racer? I've accidentally done two designs... -

Flying to Hamburg looks a lot more reasonable price wise for sure! Will DM you. -

Calanon replied to Jim's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups
I would very much like to come, but I am going to have to look into travel from Copenhagen to Billund - new Danish aviation tax coming into effect March means there are no longer direct flights from my nearby airport to Billund and the cheapest flight requires me flying to Oslo, waiting around for nearly a full day and then flying to Billund! I think I saw there are trains from Copenhagen to Vejle though. -

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but will member titles become visible again? I have also noticed on the profile page special tags just has a URL instead of showing icons. -
LEGO Star Wars 2025 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
Calanon replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Admittedly I'm a white man so maybe not the best person to weigh in, but I like that we get more variety of heads for what are ultimately regular people in SW universe. There's also been a lot more diversity in Imperials in new canon in regards to human race and gender with the focus being anti-alien sentiment. The OT is rather a product of its time with how white everyone is. It's a huge galaxy, not Europe. I also enjoy how mad it makes some people that oh no we've got a Hoth rebel trooper with darker skin. I do solidly agree though the rarity of Lando and Padmé is wrong. -

Everything is... marginally bigger now? And there's a night mode switch, nice. Alas, it has broken the images on a (old!) tutorial I had been learning from, luckily I think I'm not too in need of them now.
