mishtron Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 @AanchirWhoa, that second Mtron space disco music video is amazing. Appreciate the thorough research, thanks for sharing it. I feel like I've actually read some of it before, great insight. I just browsed the Mtron lego wiki page and saw the rejected protos for the first time, those are really looking good. I see how rescue and mining can be derived when you see the greater development concept. It also makes sense to make the theme ambiguously utilitarian for imagination's sake @Digger of BricksYeah, what I really want to see in the next lego mechs is stuff like the clan omnimechs I feel like the 70707 eradicator mech from the last space series was actually the closest they've come Quote

If we were to definitely expect a new space theme in the near future, what would you not want from such a theme? I would prefer not to have color-coded heroes. That's kind of TLG's MO--Ninjago, Nexo Knights, Knights Kingdom, Elves, and Bionicle (and others, I'm sure) have all used a distinct color scheme for each hero. While this kind of setup has its positive points, it feels cliche and overused. Since color differentiation is important, though, give each faction its own color scheme/branding, like Ice Planet/Space Police/M-Tron, or Terran/Zerg/Protoss, or EB's own Andromeda's Gates. There are enough easy ways to make the characters identifiable that don't involve a Red Ranger trope. Quote
danth Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Arg! So annoyed! The Lego Worlds Classic Space DLC was delayed until July 25th! That DLC was the whole reason I bought the game and there wasn't any notice of the delay at all other than a single tweet. http://www.brickstolife.com/lego-worlds-classic-space-dlc-delayed-to-july-25th/ Quote

The part's dimensions are perfect for it (6 by 6 by 2)! Well look here what @ZCerberus's latest creation has done! Quote

Umbra-Manis Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 More Trans-yellow goodness is on the way! The Last Jedi sets just leaked and the smallest one has this cockpit in trans-yellow! Quote

That's a very nice canopy to have in Trans-yellow, but I'm somewhat concerned that those are prints instead of stickers. Well, its not that big of a deal if they are since those graphics are in Light Bluish Grey, which will work fine with CS creations, but not Blacktron I creations. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Quote

Artanis I Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 Star Wars canopies tend to be printed. You might be able to remove the print without ruining the part Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 I mean this as constructive feedback. I appreciate your eagerness for space, but it would probably help if you kept the topic name shorter. Just my opinion. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) ***** TBH that looks like a print. That would be at least 6+ stickers on that one element. Edited July 13, 2017 by Bob De Quatre Removed confidential image Quote

I just looked at my U-wing printed canopy and it also lacks the printing over the edges. So my argument is invalid. Quote

You might be able to remove the print without ruining the part Unless I'm wrong, I don't believe that particular canopy has ever been printed on before in past sets; but still, that does not mean they never will, and unfortunately it does seem like this canopy has been printed. 4 hours ago, danth said: Looks like the original Classic Space windscreen in transparent red as well! I saw that too, on Kylo's TIE fighter (linked below). Like @Artanis I said, canopies for Star Wars tend to be printed, but maybe the simple, flat surface of that windshield might mean they simply opted for a sticker. It's funny, but most AFOLs complain about stickers, but here is one particular instance where we'd prefer them in this case. https://www.exoforce.ru/serii-lego/star-wars/star-wars-lego-75179-istrebitel-kaylo-rena-tie.html Edited July 13, 2017 by Digger of Bricks Quote

All markings I want should be printed. All markings I don't want should be stickers. :D But seriously a print on a rare piece that would otherwise be super useful is kind of a bummer. Meanwhile all the very common pieces in this set that should be printed have stickers! Also I hate to say it but on second glance I'm not even sure the red windscreen in the new Tie set is transparent. It would be lame if it wasn't obviously. Edited July 13, 2017 by danth Quote

Don't mean to be pedantic, but that windscreen in the pics is two bricks too short to be 94531, I believe it is a printed version of 6109815 / 18729. If so, it would make it the second time they've used that mold ever, printed or otherwise. Quote

Digger of Bricks Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 While we are on the subject of colored canopies, this newly unveiled 2018 DC Comics set (76096 Superman Krypto Team Up, pictured below) comes with two of part no. 27262 (that odd Nexo Knights mudflap/canopy part, also pictured below) in Trans. Light Green (a.k.a. "Atlantis" green). 16 hours ago, mishtron said: Don't mean to be pedantic, but that windscreen in the pics is two bricks too short to be 94531, I believe it is a printed version of 6109815 / 18729.

Thanks for noticing that @mishtron, I would have otherwise never known! Quote
