agoodfella77 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) Saying its adult content on Flickr Yeah, but why, there is nothing "adult" or raunchy about it -- it's a very accurate design to the MCU version... I kind of took it as a jab at it being a bootleg... [/font][/color][/font][/color] So that seems to confirm it actually is an official SY page. The possibilities for a "new ideas" section is really exciting! Yeah, this is really intriguing... wonder what they have up their sleeves... I think I may leave a post on it to urge them to finish the Hall of Armor now that we know they actually read it... Edited September 19, 2015 by agoodfella77
jangosolo Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Anyone know if it's possible to buy the banner minifig on it's own without the mech? Thanks My Custom Banner version of the fig is heading to ebay soon, I'm going to stick with my mid transformation Banner instead Yeah, this is really intriguing... wonder what they have up their sleeves... I think I may leave a post on it to urge them to finish the Hall of Armor now that we know they actually read it... Nooooo! Not more Iron Man! So many other figures to do!

I'd love to see them put out more comic versions of some of the Ultimate/MCU characters Lego do as well as some indie figures. Comics don't start and end with Marvel/DC.
Borex Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Maybe we should start a designers team to get them the designs we want ;-) Is there a vector illustration whizkid in the house?
Swifty118247 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Maybe we should start a designers team to get them the designs we want ;-) Is there a vector illustration whizkid in the house? I'm not sure about vector illustration but I know how to extract textures from LEGO video games? Don't know how much use that is though.
wickedlemon Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Maybe we should start a designers team to get them the designs we want ;-) Is there a vector illustration whizkid in the house? Not an expert, but I've done a few Vector designs (see my avatar for one). It's not that hard once you get started. Maybe we need our own Flickr group and add all our designs there?
Robianco Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Maybe we should start a designers team to get them the designs we want ;-) Is there a vector illustration whizkid in the house? You can always take a look at my Flickr account to see a few things I've set up for people. ;)
Swifty118247 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 I might look into setting one up unless anyone else wants to? I'm very busy though so moderation would be required too and I don't know how much I'll be able to do. I'll keep you updated.

megafpf5k Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Here you go: http://www.aliexpres...1444_6,201409_3 FYI, the big dinos came down a couple dollars (if $4 mattered to anyone)
Flaminatrix1 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I'm not any good at making designs but I've had a few amazing minifig ideas and no luck on getting them custom made so if you guys did start making customs I'd be all in with design ideas for what it's worth :p
Robianco Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Are we talking about a group to come up with ideas... and then artwork... to link people like SY to?
Swifty118247 Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Are we talking about a group to come up with ideas... and then artwork... to link people like SY to? Yeah I guess so. If anyone has any ideas for a design but can't design it themselves they could always pm some of the designers on Flickr? We need to sort out the logistics of it but I'll try and at least set it up tonight.
wickedlemon Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Are we talking about a group to come up with ideas... and then artwork... to link people like SY to? I think the idea was mentioned a while back. It would be good to have a group to post designs to making it clear that they were free to use. The more people submitting and the more links to it, the more likely it will be spotted. What is the best software to use for creating vector art? I'm lucky in that I have Illustrator through work, but are there any freebies that are recommended?
Robianco Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 Just PM them to me... I've already started to create artwork of game design figures and drawn up the last two SDCC figures. If it helps to keep things in the group then I'm fine with that... it's just that I won't always be able to draw things up straight away due to family and work commitments. ...and I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, but... let's make sure the design and artwork is as good as it can be even if it takes a little longer... and let's not do anything that Lego has already done. They don't need help in cloning Lego stuff and I'd rather the companies took a view to having completely new figures or maybe some gaps that Lego has such as things from the HP theme etc.

As for Video Game designs, you can draw them if you want but it's not that tricky to actually extract them from the game when you know how. I can at the very least do that for the marvel & year 5-7 games.
Kire Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 I wouldn't mind a Black Panther, moon knight, quasar and Adam Warlock figure. However I'm sure Decool and SY are just going to use the designs Dargo is using.
Robianco Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Rather than buy from Chens52 on eBay here's a link for AE: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Presale-SY283-Building-Blocks-Super-Heroes-Avengers-Minifigures-Green-Arrow-Mr-Cold-Black-Manta-Robin-Hakwman/32442684919.html?spm=2114.031010208.3.18.3Ay1fq&ws_ab_test=201526_3,201527_4_35_36_71_33_72_34_73_74_75,201409_1

I don't know if it's because I'm in the US, but I've had better luck with specific people on eBay than with AE. (Also, AE doesn't take Paypal, sadly.) It's probably just me, though. I ordered from both when I started, but now it's more eBay than AE.
Zhagas Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Did I miss this? New SY DC set spotted. Yeah... SY283 We found out about it a little over a month back but it seems it was a bit slow to materialize (Mine has yet to ship and I ordered it back on Aug 18th)
