I like the idea of them, but there aren't any that I particularly like.

most Architecture sets feel soulless. I prefer buy sets with more pieces and nice features or color that a simple house or wall

I's say the best one is the one I posted in the OP, the Farnsworth House. It's scale is good enough that it includes a lot of interior detail. It's  just about exactly half scale for normal Lego builds to accept minifigs. I'v actually thought about making my own "full scale" version but I'm not certain how to go about starting that. The model is roughly accurate to the colors of the real Farnsworth House so I'd need a lot of white and beige bricks and some clear window bricks as well.

>>826
Same, I like the idea of these "scale model" sets and think they'd be fine if they coexisted with traditional play-oriented sets. The issue is nearly every fucking set is either an action figure or one of these "scale models" that you can maybe play with once and shove onto a shelf because it's not designed to be rebuilt, like that stupid fucking Mario theme. At least with Architecture you can still buy a pile of the white Architecture element set and do stuff on your own.

Anyone got the Architecture Studio set? Can it even still be bought for a reasonable price?

Have these ever been reissued?

Make it stop. And another thing does anyone else dislike this double face thing they've started doing with minifigs? It limits what kind of hair/hat you can use without having an abomination.

i hope this anon is still here.

BRAVO! THANK YOU!

The Lego Movie really wrote the book on modern stopmotion, didn't it? You can see a lot of minute details drawn from it in these.

>>1114
and then the sequel poisoned the well

You're ma bitch, Harry Potter.

Still wish Lego would go back to metalizing certain pieces instead of the pearl metal that they do now. I don't think they even make shiny pirate coins anymore.

Now I want a Tokyo Tower nanoblocks set tbh.

You hit the nail on the head there anon. It's a case of modern licensed themes being made by Lego while older Lego making licensed themes, if that makes sense. New licensed themes are accurate representations of their source material (hyper-detailed minifigures, heavy reliance on specialised pieces with no re-usability, and no evidence of it being a Lego set as it feels more like a scaled model) whereas the older themes had a distinct Lego feel to them. If I had to single out a specific theme that shows this, it'd be Harry Potter. Back in 2001 the sets were wildly different to the movies (I don't remember Hogwarts being that garishly coloured!) but had the Lego touch to them - the modern sets have lost this completely. 

I've looked online and find that this change seems to be noticeable around 2006-08 with a slew of licensed themes each with unique pieces and less of a focus on rebuilding sets, though the first major change has to be the switch to flesh tones.

That reminds me of the old Ford Anglia build they had, at the time it was awesome and you could neatly fit it into city builds, now, because all the changes, it looks completely out of place in a city.

It's really interesting how you can get slightly different heights for them with different "leg" parts.

There's also the old-style one-piece minifig legs. They're one plate shorter than standard legs, which makes them the same height as the articulated "teenfig" legs.

I've been kinda getting into Lego again after a few years, and I built this technical gun-truck, inspired by the ones in District 9. What do you guys think?

>>544
That's actually really cool, mate! Simple yet really beautiful.

>>562
That's beautiful! I hope you don't mind, but I'll be stealing that for future MOC apartments. And even if you did mind, I'd steal it anyways - it's fucking rad, and the way you implemented those sliding doors is awesome.

Post more cute Lego girls

I've been pondering on how a new tub that balances new and old would work (we could submit it to ideas), As if there were 120 pcs for 12 colors  OR 14  of 110 (with the other 2 colors being special or shapeful pieces), or make enough special pieces to fill the gap and make it a round number.
1 Black
2 Blue
3 Dark Purple
4 Green
5 Light Bluish Gray & Dark Bluish Gray (between the 2 they have the piececount of 1 color or 1 and a half)
6,7 Lime & Medium Blue & Pink (have the piececount of two) 
8 Orange
9 Red
10 Reddish Brown & Tan (same as gray)
11 White
12 Yellow

They make nice fillers to bulk out a collection and while the newer ones are excellent, I do miss the basic tubs of old. FreeStyle was the perfect theme for this and I still don't understand why this couldn't remain an evergreen theme - all Lego has to do is release a bucket of bricks and a few minifigs because the entire theme was all about creating wacky creatures/vehicles/whatever you wanted from generic bricks

>>681
I didn't get that particular one but I was gifted buckets of bricks and I'm so glad to have gotten into Lego through them.

>>691
That's a nice balance of practical and exciting colours, anon.

Lego is healing!
Rather, what I'm trying to say is, these new classic sets are an improvement. There is a higher proportion of common bricks. For the 333 piece ones, outside of some odd ones like the brown detail for this Ice cream or the wheel pieces, every piece is of the 6 colours highlighted on the box. Also the kind of pieces you get of each colour is nearly the same. All colours get the same amount of regular rectangular bricks, and while the decorative slopes differ, they are more or less the same amount.

Also, the biggest set takes the cake. It has less colors than previous ones (compare 10 to  to 11016's 30), which means you actually have a bunch of pieces in the same colour to actually build something (in previous sets you'd even get only a singe piece ). But maybe more importantly, it's all pure 1xn and 2xn bricks, all evenly distributed.>>696

A lot of windows and doors and helpfully bricks for creating some buildings or for updating old city sets

I like the blue translucent blocks.
