What is pricing for the Doctor who?
@watchwmarcella – My pricing or what I have found on the Interweb?
I will have to check the minifigures for each set, but the sets are as follows:
71171-PS4 Starter Set
71264-LEGO Batman Movie: The Complete Level
71204-Dr. Who Level Set
71228-Ghostbusters Level SetI noticed some lego listings said open box. I wondered if sets like that were ransacked for minifigs or specific pieces
I recently upgraded my laptop and was going to start dabbling in STUD.IO to try and build an MOC of one of my favorite sets as a kid, a bigger & better version of 6563 Gator Landing.
I thought so, he was describing it to me at the one AFOL day. The design is kind of what started me down this path, but he is a hard person to get a hold of. Do you have any info it?
Hey Rich I know we’ve gone back and forth on starships but I was wondering if you had any info on this ship (attached).
Anything you would be willing to share I’d love to look at. It was arcadiumsol’s design in the one LEGO store display that got me thinking about building ships in a modular fashion, but I’m hoping that seeing some completed models in LDD would help me to understand it a bit better too.
I was making some progress then I had to take on some other projects. I’m hoping to get back to it here at some point. I struggled a little but because i was trying to utilize parts in my current inventory. I only got to dabble a little bit into the software side but didn’t make too much progress. Were you able to get some of the LDD files together?
Jim, @tcsbgdady, the mother ship idea sounds really cool. My ship plans have come to a crawl. I got furloughed for a week and decided to try and finish our bathroom remodel. Then my birthday present came from my kids . . . the Dom’s Charger from Technic. It is definitely a cool model, but now that it is done I can get back to space travels.
The main canopy i was considering was the helicopter one (11293), but that’s a whole other idea. I was thinking more of a freighter style ship, bulky and a work horse hauler. I have been keeping a list of windscreens and canopies that have caught my eye as well as what I currently have. I really like the windscreen on the new Razor Crest model.
As far as the magnets, the new design is a huge improvement over anything I had see before. The magnets are internal of the shapes they are in and the magnet can really spin freely to connect with its mate. They also have studs and/or the ability to use a connector peg. They would provide a great way to dock with something, with the aid of a guide, and then lock it into place.
I am slowly piecing a cockpit together, a piece here and a piece there, like a sculptor with clay. I’ve kinda started two different cockpits; 1) starting with 2-2X*various length* plates & 2) a formed vehicle bottom.
LDD files would be awesome. I’ve been going back and forth between digital and real.
I’ve been looking at color schemes based on a couple of the airplane/helicopter cockpit canopies available. I am currently trying to piece together some ships with my current supply of parts so things are a little technicolor, but I figure once I get to a concrete design I can finalize a color scheme.
I will say that the new magnet system in the 2020 City Police sets might have some promise. I got the helicopter set for my birthday from my daughters and was quite impressed with the strength of the magnets, as well as the ability to hide them in the construction. My only previous experience with magnets was the Exploriens sets and some of the Aquazone.
Thanks Tim, I saw those. I forgot who was telling me about the ship at the Aug 3 AFOL Day, but he mentioned that it was in LDD.
That is a serious storage system Tim. I was at Home Depot the other day and saw some Dewalt stackable cases that have various sized boxes that I might try.
Currently all the sets I own or organized by set number in bags. I’ve been hesitant to make the jump to bulk sorting, partly because I haven’t found a storage solution i like yet.
