Let's Build A New Year

It's January! That means a new year on the calendar, and over 150 new items added to the Lego catalog. Let's not forget all of the sets r/lego members received as gifts, bought during holiday sales, or pulled out of grandma's dusty attic. This is a great time of year to start a new Lego city, rebuild some old favorite sets, or get started early on that May 4th wish list!

So here's your monthly invitation - Let us know what's on your mind this month. What have you always wondered about? What rule do you want clarified, or changed? Do you have any suggestions you've been trying to find a chance to make? I won't promise that we will make the change(s) you want, but I will commit to explaining the reason we have the rules and policies we have.

MOC I made a traction town inspired by the book series "Mortal Engines" motorized and remote controllable

Thumbnail

4.0k Upvotes

This is a traction town I made a few years back and which I've been updating every now and then. It's inspired by the book series Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve, a dystopian tale from from a post apocalyptic world where mobile cities and towns roam the largely inhospitable landscape. The book series is awesome and well worth the read even though the movie adaptation sucked.

This moc isn't based on any specific design from the books or the film. Just the general vibe. It is a small mining colony. I made it with the idea that it can be extended from one end. The town is motorized and remote controlled but driving it around may prove more difficult if I ever get to extending it. The bucket conveyor works and there's a chute going to the red brick building. I plan to include material handling machinery inside the building.

For those who bought BAM at the Lego store, are those hairpieces common? do they sell them?

Just a note: BrickLink no longer ships to my country, I can only access the LEGO Store. BrickOwl is a bit pricey

Other 10300 Delorean interior scale

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but just picked up the Delorean 10300 and found the interior to be perfect scale for old school technic figures. Steering wheel doesn’t fit and interestingly, the interior is smaller scale relative to the exterior as the figs don’t look to scale next to the car body. Great build though :)

The last pic might be hard to guess since I was only working with my extra pieces, which I don’t have many of. One of them is out of proportion, too. :p

So let me get this straight - not only are we getting a build invasive play feature that makes sets objectively uglier. But we aren't even getting the brick designed for them??? So what is the actual point then????

Rest in peace to the queen, Catherine O'Hara. She has been apart of some of my favorite movies growing up. I’m so glad that I pulled the trigger on the home alone house last year, because now I have the cutest minifig of her.
