Legocity2713 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 You could just add 1x1 plates to your figures and call them shoes. That kinda ruins the continuity. It also just doesn't look right. Quote
kevkipo Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 The set will be sold at SDCC! Thx Sci, i'll add it to the frontpage Quote
CM4Sci Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Oh, the minifigures all have double sided faces! Quote
deskp Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 That looks more like penny than her other side =D Quote
legofreak86 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 They nailed Sheldon's ironic fake smile! I think the cgi images were a bit misleading compared to the physical set which the figures look much better in and seem to have a lot of nice show accurate details! Quote
kevkipo Posted July 9, 2015 Author Posted July 9, 2015 Epic, guess where my Civil War money goes to now Christmas be my guest and bring me money! Quote
JGW3000 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Overall an excellent representation of TBBT, clearly a display model. My main disappointment is in the DNA model, which looks nothing like DNA nor does it resembled the one in the original IDEAS submission, so just the one mod. Quote
Robert8 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 It totally looks like a MOC rather than a set. I think this opens a door for future LEGO Ideas releases. Quote
Legocity2713 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Oh man. How much do you think the figs will go for each on ebay? I'd like a few more of Sheldon's Flash t-shirt torsos. (Say that 5 times fast) Quote
Silent Nomad Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I like that the Green Lantern lantern is small enough not to look ridiculous in a minifigure hand, with said minifigure on display, unlike the one in the Green Lantern set. I'm planning on making another one, or maybe just using the one from the set, so that I can give my GL minifigure a lantern that's more to scale with him. I also checked, and the pieces exist to make a yellow one in the same style, so Sinestro will also be getting a lantern in that style. As it is, I reworked the GL lantern that came in the GL set, and gave Sinestro one in the same style, reasoning that I don't have to have both halves of the minifigures visible since they're vertically mirror symmetrical, but it'll be nice not to have those brobdingnagian monstrosities in my display cases.

Yeah, that's the disappointing part for me as well. I don't think they still use those flex tubes do they? Quote
badbob001 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 The thing with sets from Lego Ideas, I always find something I want to improve upon. In this set, I would want to hide the floor studs with matching tile planks to give it a wooden floor look (and raise the walls up one plate to compensate). I think it'll make it look more like a display item. I don't think I can do anything about the studs on the rounded plate on the side. Quote
jonwil Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 The hoses used for the DNA in the original submission ARE still in production but only in black with black ends and yellow with black ends. I suspect they probably just didn't have the resources in the set to be able to do the hoses in that color. Same with the action figures, they probably didn't have the resources to use the board game figs like the original Ideas project so they went with the trophy statues (I believe they are just unprinted versions of colors already being made for the Helicarrier set but I might be wrong) Quote

I think it'll make it look more like a display item. I don't think I can do anything about the studs on the rounded plate on the side. You could replace it with a straight piece. That it's even curved in real life is barely noticeable... if you were going to add a decent floor, it would be worth it to lose the curve. Quote
rahziel Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Oh yeah, cant wait to get this set, mostly because of the minifigs, the room is nice but it will need some tweaking. Quote
Doctor Doom Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Despite the fact that I'm not a fan of The Big Bang Theory, I like the set! It's brilliant. But I dream that one day they will make sets of LEGO... Seinfeld. I know, it's a weird idea. Quote

Legocity2713 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 When do you guys recommend buying the Big Bang set? I kinda want to wait until Double VIP Points in October, do you think that they'll still be around till then? Quote

Legocity2713 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Do you have a good Lego store? Yeah they're pretty decent. I think they were one of the longest to still have the research institute. Quote
kevkipo Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Yeah they're pretty decent. I think they were one of the longest to still have the research institute. Then wait, same as mine, we still have the Exo Suit. If you wanna catch the points it's a nice deal Don't blame me if they are gone tho Quote
