| Hey everyone. Just recently got and assembled Lego City street skatepark 60364,
and read the instruction for this piece. The picture says to use the scooter
handle (needed else where in the set, and there's no extra ones) to remove
the tile if needed.
The set also did not come with any type of separator. Is Lego starting not to
include separators?
This is not the first time I have had questions about newer sets, over the last
several years, it seems Lego has been finding many little ways to save money,
things that they would not even want you to do for building for a designer program.
For instance, the Lego creator ramen shop has steps requiring you to use more
than one piece for a length that could be covered in one piece and not for design
(example using two 1x2 instead of a 1x4). Are they just trying to add pieces
to the set piece count? Also, lego seems to be using bigger wall pieces instead
of giving you the bricks to build the wall, and quite frankly I like to build
walls for most builds rather than use what my siblings and I call "cheat
codes".
I'm a loving fan of lego, but I really think they're starting to give
less for the money. Does anyone else feel this way?

| Hey everyone! Yesterday, I was going through some lego diamond pieces I had,
only to realize that some had lego nowhere printed on them, but some did on one
side of the diamond. Are my other ones fake or are they from a time when lego
didn't print on diamonds?
Also I have two (what I thought to be) original lego knights shields, but neither
of them have lego printed on them? Are they still possibly lego?

It's going to be a lot easier to get repeats. Maybe the value of full sets
and opened characters will be higher. Any thoughts?

I don't care, as I've nearly always opened them. And now they are essentially
random, it makes it harder for sellers to strip a store of the popular figures
by feeling them, leaving the less popular ones behind. So it is a good move from
that point of view. Not so good if you only want a specific figure, but at least
now these are essentially random as intended.
|
| | Yeah, that's how my siblings and I felt, until we got three Jays and 2 Garmodons. So frustrating.

| | I have three of the old Boba Fett helmets. Based on what I've read, there
are two color variations: x50px1 and x50px3. The Bricklink catalog entry for
x50px1 also notes that: "This part has a print variant with a difference
in the line above the eye slit." It doesn't say what the different print
variant is.
Going through my old minifigs, I found three of the helmets. I'm hoping to
identify which goes with the sw0107 (Cloud City Boba Fett) minifig. The entry
for the minifigure states that it uses piece x50px1 without specifying anything
about the line in the eye slit.
I took pictures of all three. I've given each a letter to differentiate them.

| | Hi. Very interesting. From looking at your pictures (A, B, and C), and comparing them to other authentic boba fett helmets, I'm lead to believe the best choice would be A or C. Leaning more towards C, I have seen something close to A though. I've never seen such a off set printing of the band and the arrows like in image B.

I'm not exactly sure, so this is just a guess based on comparing the images.
Hope this helps.

people have had luck using scales to weigh the packages to get the figure they
want
|
| | oh wow, that pretty cool.
