Adult Fixie-skidders of LEGO

Ha, ha. Me too but I probably will (and get the lighting mod if one has been made yet).

Blimey, that is a lot of bricks

53 inches long wow 😮 it looks huge.

I wonder if that was on Lego ideas? Curious reposte to Oxford kit?

Either way it won't fit on my shelf.

There was a Lego Ideas version, yes https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98b0f172-1058-4277-bfe0-febe400c457a

Either way it won't fit on my shelf.

Move.

Just put a model together for actual work and would love to share but can't cos I'm under NDA. Exciting, right?

Sorry.

Either way it won't fit on my ice shelf.

Fixed.

cos I'm under NDA

It's not much of an NDA if you can tell us about it 🙂 #superinjunction

I read "Available 1/11" as "Available as 1:11 scale" and did a quadruple-take.

Did some fag packet maths on that.

(assuming Lego model is to scale, and would need same increase rate of bricks to build bigger)
Lego Titanic is 1.35m long and has 9090 bricks to build it.
Real Titanic was 269m long.

To build in lego at 1:11 scale would be a 24.45m long and need around 164630 bricks.
If the pricing was scaled accordingly, Lego would be asking for £10,323.33.

1.35m long and has 9090 bricks to build it....at 1:11 scale would be a 24.45m long and need around 164630 bricks

Nah, brickage scales as the cube of linear dimension, so more like 50 million bricks, although you could reduce that in bulk areas by using larger bricks.

I need more cigarettes to do those sums!

That was fun.

Twice the brick count too.

This set baffles me... 🤔

In a good way or a bad way?

Gonna build it today, think it's going to be a nice desk ornament

If anyone has any of the Architecture sets lying around and would be interested in selling them, I am currently collecting them with my 6 year old. Ideally looking for some of the discontinued cityscapes like San Francisco, Venice, Berlin, Sydney, Chicago, Las Vegas, Shanghai...

Guitar done. Was pretty fun and looks great. Love the whammy bar. Will do amp later.

It's just another one of those display pieces that LEGO's been doing a lot of. Quite a lot of people seem to enjoy a LEGO one-off so they can put it on their mantelpiece/wherever.

In this case, it seems as if the initiative was Fender's, as there's also one from Mega Construx (minus the amp), so perhaps Fender approached both companies.

It looks better largely because they've gone for a single-piece scratchplate.

A comparison:

I find them both odd because they're so small.

I got my gf the flower bouquet for her first job. Lovely set with quite a few flowers which you can also build together as many parts need to be done multiple times!

Not a city scape but I should have The Great Wall of China if that's of any interest?

Oh would definitely be interested! Depending on whether you could post…
