things changed: -lowered cockpit down roughly 1 brick, changed build around cockpit region to slope into wings, taper into body, round out the rear to more accurately reflect the shape of the model in canon -filled in gaps with 1 tile width across whole body; requires some gaps in wing construction -replaced guns for accuracy; subject to further change to reduce conspicuousness -cut up stickers to apply across model -cut cockpit -nexo tile at front to hammer in the point :) working on instructions if anyone's interested. if ur curious on scale it works like this

my bad! thanks for the heads up; hadn't realized it had been a year. absolutely meant as a compliment but i should probably refrain from further statements

i doubt the image is of a real leak although i can't be certain. certainly we've seen bionicle leaks well ahead of a reannouncement and even if this has been circulating for a while it could be true. mostly i just feel like lego could do so much better but what do i know

sir how are you the single best reviewer on this site

Fern you've done it again! Gorgeous work; seconding Sandbox, love the way this poses. In particular completely love the knee solution for turning the legs for extra posing despite limitations.

I only posted the stud.io files lmao. never made instructions. if you need em use the hide tool and one copy of 71738 zane's titan mech

everyone's favorite queer punk icon, now in lego! instructions coming soon ;)

yeah the joint in particular is in EVO and is a high focus of his in the deployment of this system. going to be neat to see what he does with it

good tweet on that actually i'm still mixed on these personally but this looks to be a very bright future for ninjago and i'm excited to see how the range grows from here next!

you have to consider ghost cole was something pulled off in the show first and likely changed during the skybound wave plan, hence requiring a new print and only coming in 2 expensive sets. putting ghost cole in the smallest set would've basically been using a new print there, but unlike that nrg nya is an existing figure prior to this wave dropping. still, decent point on how this wave might not tie into the show very strongly, similar to the legacy wave and moto

small sidenote: if you can wedge your fingernails into the flat end you might just be able to extract it. all is not lost if you try hard enough

oh lol what i meant was that an advent calendar would be taking up a spot that, say, a fire dragon could hold. feels like an easy choice so far as balancing out budget for a wave

a simple reason they don't have advent calendars: ninjago is based on eastern mythologies and cultures, and it's not exactly common to see christianity or christmas in the east like it is in the west and western-based things. now, if ninjago had a new year's thing that'd be neat (although it might skirt controversies as well unlike say monkie kid), but it just doesn't make too much sense to give what are ostensibly asian or eastern-appearing characters a distinctly western (and somewhat pagan) holiday also that's one less set off the roster so how about we keep it that way

thanks for the clarification; glad to hear it! i do value diversity and in all accounts it seems like they've made the right move in more ways than one; when you're in an empire galaxy wide you've gotta let go of your gripes and promote species over race. glad to get an in-depth and thorough response on this and hoping not to continue this discussion too long further than a compliment on your cordiality

yeah basically this; far as i was aware the imperials would not only prefer to hire from a whiter male caste but also have those types of people gravitate towards it, especially towards the end and into the mandalorian when their troops stayed because they'd been imbued with fascist dogma. likely the first order avoided this and just recruited by kidnapping which mitigates the racial barriers. on the subject i suppose because they're in a galactic conflict they'd try to segregate less, but just judging by lucas' own intent with the empire it would make sense thematically.
