SPOILER! Andor dies

Most likely, however both this and all the new minifigures in the castle set are more than odd, so there could be some big changes in Creator this year as well I agree, but bases on leaks so far at least in HP do not suggest it, Dreamzzz I do not follow so closely so could have missed it there..

I made a new thread for it.

Those are not original Power Functions servos, so I can't tell you what the issue is.

Gotcha. I try to be vigilant as well. Just saying that if the rule was to only talk about newly released media in any capacity after one to two weeks instead, everyone would be reading at their own risk, which each and everyone should be aware of when interacting online. The way it is now, is fine. Trying to be realistic here, potential spoilers has happened a lot and probably will happen a lot more in here. Recent shows and Lego Star Wars are so closely intertwined in several ways, it can create a dynamic in conversations rather quickly. Making even the tiniest little spoiler nearly impossible to avoid. But to conclude, i know i can do better than this. Next time, i will. Because despite being a new member, i don't wanna rely on any puppy protection in the slightest. Back to Lego Star Wars 2025 news, it looks like it's now confirmed only selected sets will get double VIP points for May the 4th. The presumed list is as follows: Ahsoka's Duel on Peridea, Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack, Captain Rex Y-Wing Starfighter, Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, Coruscant Guard Gunship, Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, Dessert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit, Ghost & Phantom II, Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder, Imperial Star Destroyer, Jedi Bob's Starfighter, Paz Vizla and Moff Gideon Battle, The Dark Falcon, couple of helmets, some buildable characters, many sets from the Starship Collection and last, but certainly least, that 4+ thingy with the blue teddy bear. There are supposed to be three sets with 4x VIP points, which are the UCS Venator, UCS X-Wing and the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up.

Quick update; I connected a bunch of them to each other and then to the transformer. All working as expected. One thing I did notice though, when I use any of the remote accessoires (press the buttons), the lights flicker. Any idea what might cause this, perhaps pulling too much power from the transformer?

I love it! You’ve really managed to nail the cockpit’s shaping. And the missile launcher placement is excellent with the wing structure you’ve incorporated (though I think a rack of old fashioned flick fire missiles would encapsulate the ship’s rocket feature better, but that would be at the detriment of your wing structure) I really hope this ship gets made into an actual set soon. That way we can get a new test pilot helmet for Cassian.

One more question. Is it ok to connect 3 L PF motors on A port of one buwizz unit and the other 3 motors on A port of other unit? And then connect servos to B ports of each unit? That's the only combination I found that works since I have plenty of lights connected to other PU ports.

Whats the new two straight track pieces are? The new train set looks very promising.

Hi everyone, Evan here, from NJ, US. @Toastie asked me to share some updates on my unfinished "Blocky Kong" game. I started building this about a year ago, and my goal is to finish by the end of July, in order to display at Brickfair (Chantilly, Virginia, which is in the Washington DC metro area.) Context: Almost everything I build is based around "Interface A" which is the mid-1980s Lego computing system. It's available for the Apple II, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, and PC, and you program in languages such as assembly, BASIC, LOGO, or the proprietary Lego Lines. My preference is an Apple II and Applesoft BASIC. Read all about this system on my personal site (www.brickhacks.com) or in the Interface A reference thread here on Eurobricks. More context: I only build with parts from the 1970s-1980s, or older. I do not use any parts that debuted in 1990 or newer. Still more context: my best creation thus far is a life-size Chevy 454 big block, which you can read all about at www.brickhacks.com/v8.php. It took me the whole pandemic to build! Anyway, back to Blocky Kong. The model is shaped like a suitcase, standing on its short edge, with the wide side facing you. It's about 25 inches tall, 18 inches wide, and 12" deep (I know, "inches" ... I'm American, don't hold it against me!) :) I designed the whole thing to fit inside my largest luggage. Mario will start at the bottom left and your goal will be to reach the top left, where Blocky Kong and the princess will be located, just like in the real game. You'll jump over moving barrels and climb ladders. There will not be a hammer: it's way to complicated to build that process. The machine will also have a functional .25-cent coin slot and lots of lights, decorations, etc. The best part is, I built the entire rear gantry frame separately from the front game board frame. They attach to each other modularly. That means I can snap off the Blocky Kong game and re-use the gantry frame for other things! It could be various 2-D sprite games ... Breakout, Frogger, Night Driver, and Pong are on my ideas list. It could also be a kick-megablocks vertical pen plotter. Here is a short video (20 seconds) showing the frame and gantry, as controlled by a joystick on my Apple II in good old BASIC, via Interface A. You'll notice the frame is wobbly: that will change when I build a back panel, entirely in black. I also post smaller updates in my Facebook group called "Square Pistons".

Thank you @zephyr1934!

I ended up going with the primary Lego colors to better fit with Barracuda Bay. Reddish brown bottom, black and blue stripe, white strake. It's brighter, but I'm happy with it. My only real disappointment in the build is the attachment of the beak, but it's hidden, so it's only kind of eating away at me.

If you look at the first post of this topic you'll see that the line is tighter. Policy for the Star Wars threads has been to wait 1-2 weeks before discussing anything related to the newly released media. I try to be lenient and understanding. But I will enforce those rules as needed.

Ok. But what about this ? I tried connecting servos like this and it completely blocks. The engine which is composed out of 6 L PF motors cracks. And servos do not turn. Did I connect something wrong?

I'm actually on desktop, with the browser window set to precisely "whatever-I-think-looks-good" pixels. When I adjust the width, the banner stays centred and the logo stays at the edge of the window, becoming smaller when the window is narrow enough. I think it is working as intended.

Hopefully this isn't an Andor spoiler since the ship features pretty heavily in the trailers Two minifigs can fit inside, and I put spring loaded shooters under the wings to make it match my official Lego TIEs a little better (plus they're fun, idc) Let me know what you think!

We're off to see the Wizard! The Wizard of Oz (1939) is the most iconic film of all time, and it deserves a proper licensed LEGO set. I created this MOC to display my CMF figs. This MOC depicts the key aspects of the movie in a compact and fun display. Start Dorothy's journey over the rainbow with Munchkinland, complete with Dorothy's house landing on the Wicked Witch of the East. Follow the Yellow Brick Road to find the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion in their habitats, and wind up in the poppy field in front of the grand Emerald City. Behind the Emerald City is the hall with the Wizard, who hides behind a curtain with gifts for Dorothy's new friends. To the right of the build is the Wicked Witch of the West's castle, with a play feature - pull out the floor to make her melt! This build contains 1,160 parts, all made from the existing color palette. There are 8 minifigures - Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda, a Munchkin, and the Wizard of Oz. And Toto too! I uploaded this to Ideas too if you want to check it out there: IDEAS LINK! With more pics! Thanks for checking out this MOC, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Sorry, don't know how to manage that on my phone.

Nice build!

So many inspirational builds on those shelves. Looking forward to many more amazing trains to complement these.

May I introduce my variant of an extension for the new Eldorado Fortress [10320] from 2023. I think my extension for the old Eldorado Fortress has already been well received. Some users on social media have asked me for an extension like this for the new model and I also liked the idea. So I made one. I call this model: Forward Base Extension V1 It is of course bigger and much more detailed than the old model. And I designed it in the style of the new one. And also here nothing has to be changed on the original Eldorado to attach the extension. Only 3 round stones have to be moved a few steps forward to the edge oft he dock. Otherwise the extension is simply attached. If you are interested in this extension for the new Eldorado Fortress, you can find more details, pics and instruction on my rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-216038/oki_ebi/10320-eldorado-fortress-extension-forward-base-v1/

With all due respect, and this is just my two cents on this spoiler scenario, if merely talking about the first 3 episodes can be seen as spoiler risk, which it definitely could be, maybe the line should be even tighter and not even allow people to talk about new stuff immediately in the first place. As what is a spoiler to one person, might not even scratch the surface for another. Where does a spoiler begin, where does it continue, where does it end? Everybody will naturally feel different about it. But if everyone would be aware to wait just this single week, this would minimize the risk of getting spoiled even further. Again, i don't wanna sound out of place or something. I gave my best not to spoil any specific scenes, plot points, neither major nor minor events etc. Instead, i tried to take on the Lego Star Wars angle.

I'd say that a set based on that scene in Fantasia is highly unlikely, as that film (and that sequence in particular) doesn't typically get a whole lot of merchandise from Disney, outside of Sorcerer Mickey (and occasionally Chernabog). As far as licensed themes go, I think it's more likely that a unicorn could show up in the Harry Potter line. The only unicorn we see in the films is a dead one (R.I.P.), but a "live" unicorn with its foal, can be seen on the Forbidden Forest ride at Universal Studios. As far as unlicensed themes go, maybe a unicorn could show up in the Dreamzzz? One of the characters had unicorn pajamas in the very first wave of sets.

Guys, stop talking about the first 3 episodes of Andor. Everyone should know by now that being on the internet (and that includes this forum) is also a spoiler risk. But you can wait a couple more days to reference the episodes that dropped.

Excited to see the Balrog, the Harry Potter and Sherlock ones were good. I am hoping for bookends still over the book nook, but as long as it is well executed I am good either way.
