@Kyng: Have you ever seen this channel on YouTube? - https://www.youtube.com/c/BrickExperimentChannel/videos

I don't know how but that channel popped into my front page feed just now, and specifically fed me this video:



It's a little painful seeing what the Lego is going through (the parts where you see the beam carving into the Lego that's holding it in place made me wince) but it's impressive how much strength the stuff can have. They have another where they break a steel axle too, but if no one here is into seeing things break apart the channel has lots of other cool experiments they did using just Lego.

Indeed, I did see that video a while back. Quite amazing what Lego can do if you know what you're doing with it!

This was another one that impressed me... it's a Lego Rubik's Cube that (kind of) works:



And here's an improved version, that fixes most of the problems with that one:

Looks like Lego is possibly moving away from just doing those level kits for Mario and expanding into other offerings:


There was also this set announced recently which I think is just really cool and wanted to share it: Lego Loop Coaster

Also, here's the photos I took of the incredibly impressive (and big) builds featured on top of the Lego store at the Mall of America during my recent vacation: https://imgur.com/a/My27iYL
I don't know if the photo does the size of the mech justice but I hope it does. Sweat

Ugh I hate the first thing that came to my head with the LEGO Bowser is that he looks like a FNAF animatronic.

Cool with the builds at that place. The sabretooth tiger is the best there easily in that if viewed from a distance, it doesn't look like it was made by LEGO bricks.  =3

Damn now you've said it I can't unsee it. XD

And yeah, I wonder if these builds are the largest ones of any Lego store. I know the one at Disney Springs in Florida comes close but I don't think they're remotely close to the mech in my photos, and I feel like a store at Disney would be the only good chance of figures larger than those at Mall of America (if we exclude Legoland which I feel isn't fair to count).

Just saw that SDCC is getting a 14ft version of the Lego Bowser model!  Shock

Nintendo Announces First Legend of Zelda LEGO Set!



This is the first LEGO set I've been actually interested in building for a while. I love that there are two versions of the Deku tree!  Grin

RE: LEGO - Moonface - May 30th, 2024

The majority of the comments I've seen on this is that it is overpriced for what you get in it, with other sets at similar price ranges offering a lot more.

I'll admit I like the look of the set but it does make me hesitant not knowing how much of the 2500 pieces aren't used depending on what build you go with, and I also don't care to rebuild it to change it so sticking with only one option for $300 starts to feel pretty steep. Errm

RE: LEGO - Kyng - Jun 1st, 2024

Yeah, I have to agree that it's overpriced at £259.99 for 2500 pieces.

The Saturn V rocket I got five years ago was a much larger build with 1969 pieces, and that cost me £109.99. Yes, that was five years ago, and prices have gone up since then... but even adjusting for inflation, that comes out as being equivalent to £136.17 today.

I hope those who get it enjoy it, but TBH, I'll be giving it a miss!
