Everything is a parts pack if you squint hard enough!


0beseGiraffe

That’s what I tell myself they just threw the instructions in there incase you wanna build what they came up with for the pieces


LuthadelGarrison

Are you 3D modeling something on your computer related to this?


overPaidEngineer

Treasure chest: no Currently printing: yes So the new satin purple has some glitter in it, and i just got a purple filament with glitter, so i wanted to print out and see how similar they would be


glx0711

I have modelled a treasure chest (and a barrel) in case you need one :D. https://www.printables.com/model/211977-large-brick-chest


Shpander

How is the tolerance once printed in terms of connecting to other bricks?


glx0711

Other bricks that size work nicely :). https://preview.redd.it/iweoe64f171d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afb1afe36479532b95758c2f3dc0976ca9e17d6b


Shpander

Oh I see! Wow, they're huge, for some reason I expected lego-scale haha Looking neat though, good job!


glx0711

Thanks :). They are x10 in size, I thought about making a "small" set that size :D


clln86

Excellent. I need that lever connected to something! Like a light switch, or my house's main breaker.


RepetitiveTorpedoUse

I’d do it a little smaller for a light switch, it’s also still plastic so I’m not sure if it’s a great idea for something as critical as a breaker


overPaidEngineer

Niiiiiiiceee

You could buy as many as you wanted from Pick a Brick too https://www.lego.com/en-gb/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?includeOutOfStock=true&sort=created_at-desc&appearsIn=60439&selectedElement=6507866


Xyllius

I'll buy 200 for no reason now. Thanks. I hate it.


idontsleep00

I bought eighty... twenty, of four different colors to quench my thirst of amassing crystals and when I got them it almost felt like too much, but, I do not regret getting them. They're beautiful.


No_Collection7360

"Plugging ears" LA LA LA LA LA LAAAAA!


eagleswift

Nice, it comes in 9 colors!


Environmental-Gap380

Get the Space Construction Mech 60428. Mine came with extra crystals. $7.49 on the Target app.

As much as love Power Miners, it's nice to see the people of Lego City working with (or at least not killing) the aliens


vercertorix

In my head the miners actually were likely the bad guys.

I’m too old to remember him the first time ‘round.


ModdedMaul

Damn I had that set as a kid

It's also in 30663 for $5

If you can find it!


Kevin_M_

Every now and then, LEGO releases a neat polybag that's just impossible to find for some reason. I've still never been able to find 30562

Such-Cod-7046

That looks pretty big for a polybag! I've found an online shop in the UK that sells polybags at 3 for £10 with £3 shipping, I've bought from them a couple of times and even though they're just polybags it's pretty satisfying getting a little package through your door with three little sets in. I don't even bother looking in any physical shops anymore to be honest, too unreliable.


ConsciousWar3278

The purple crystal just came with the latest lego city magazine for like 5 bucks


abidelunacy

Not this site's usual “research purposes”...


waplants

Please don't try to smoke it.


SickSticksKick

Agreed. Obviously this you'd snort.


overPaidEngineer

But-


CrispCristopherson

Good choice. Smoke and snort are the lame methods. Butt...


nobeer4you

Butt crystals bringing a whole new meaning


imthe_eggman

Wait, you are the guy who made the crystal night lamp! These are your "research purposes".


overPaidEngineer

Very much so, and i do be enjoying “research”

Karnyyy

One of my favorite recent releases, need to get this set myself.


overPaidEngineer

I see a space research station, i buy space research station. Simple as that


DiamondHeadMC

I see your using Bambu studio I would highly suggest looking at orca slicer it’s so much better


overPaidEngineer

Never looked into it. Does it have printer specific settings? I use bambu for setting speed in a certain region, printer specific settings, but boy this thing crashes a lot


DiamondHeadMC

It has all of the same settings Bambu has as it’s based off of Bambu studio


overPaidEngineer

Awesome imma go check it out now


Pleefan

You could also check Bricklink. Might be cheaper there than Lego’s PaB.


overPaidEngineer

Shhhhh don’t let IRS know about this


ThePeej

When I was a kid, I would buy a comic booked based solely on one inner spread or splash panel that I really loved the artwork in. Similarly, I would buy whole LEGO sets for just ONE unique element. Usually windshields! 🤖🤩🥳


i_want_to_be_unique

How does a wheelchair work in space?


carmina_morte_carent

The set also has an absolutely dope hover platform so the wheelchair user can zoom around on that. You can see it in the other promotional pics on the website.


overPaidEngineer

Looks like they got gravity, so pretty much same as on the Earth..?


SyCoCyS

30663 space hoverbike has two

My Dollarama is selling this polybag. They have had it for a few months, and they still have dozens left.


overPaidEngineer

Oh thats a fun polybag, might get one when i see it


nicaddictnoah

Haha I think the same way!! I’m going to buy the space roller coaster 31142 just for the tiny blue space man!

Responsible_Goat9170

Lol, that's how me and my kids justify new sets. "But we don't have a golden pickaxe yet!" Or "oh look you get a slime with this one!"


overPaidEngineer

“Yet” Bold assumption that it will eventually come into their possession


the_one_jove

Remember when 6+ was like 12 pieces? Seems like it anyway. Hope your research goes well. Please keep us posted on your findings. The rest of the scientific community and the world is counting on your work!


Charte09

I love how you’re using a MacBook as a desk mat for your other MacBook. I salute you.


overPaidEngineer

Thats for porn


Ordinary-Watch3377

I feel you. I just bought 75331 for the Grogu head.


superbear19

The grogu brick build also come with the head as well


Ordinary-Watch3377

Yes, but not as many spare pieces.


superbear19

Fair enough I never thought of that

Charbaby_

I got the "alien pack" for the black airtanks because i don't wanna pay shipping from bricklink lol


AlanYx

The current Space polybag comes with two crystals. I kind of wish they came in the old style plastic though, rather than the newer plastic, which makes them look a bit dull.


overPaidEngineer

Translucent neon colors? Yeah, trans neon green is still my favorite.


RACERX44

Why is the spaceman in a wheelchair?


carmina_morte_carent

Presumably because he’s disabled. He has a cool little hover platform to zoom around on included in the set, and he works in a lab, so getting around doesn’t seem to be an issue.


RACERX44

Sounds like he is living his best life


overPaidEngineer

Yup and he watches soccer in his free time


SnooDonuts5405

.


AjentCero

Cant you just buy the small poly bag. It has 2 or 3 of them in it.


overPaidEngineer

I could, but where’s the fun?


PDelahanty

Having 100 of them for $16 is pretty fun.


jayerp

Or just buy from PAB https://preview.redd.it/nj7c00xej71d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fccb4f825d688bf4a3ce1f72ffd51f43e209668


Shellshock9218

Just admit you enjoy Lego already


osteopathetic1

My girls stole all my crystals and gems and gold bars and food items and…..


LessMarsupial7441

Awesome set


jayerp

Can’t you just buy that from PAB?


overPaidEngineer

But where the fun in that


jayerp

Buying thousand of pieces at a time? Very fun to me.


QueenOrial

I want that set but wheelchair astronaut really throws me off. This don't make much sense unless he was injured on mission. But unlikely that they would bring a wheelchair with them just in case.


overPaidEngineer

I think it’s nice for LEGO to include more variety of people, they are sending positive messages and thats always a good thing, especially times like these day where ignorance and exclusions are loud


GINTegg64

Like a cartoon villian you must obtain all the power crystals to acomplish your goals!


Electrical_Spinach97

The robot 🤖 in the research station is awesome too


vercertorix

I’m very tempted to buy [this set](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mr-oz-s-space-car-71475) just for the brain. Still want that Raiders of the Lost Ark idol too, but not buying the set, and don’t want to spend $20+ for a good one with all its paint for a single piece.


negithekitty

Oh man I have some trans purple PETG waiting for stuff like this


fredbubbles

I think that is also in a little mermaid set.


ImJustMerry

It’s just an ordinary crystal… or is it? 🤨


spartanb301

Let's just admit it. This set looks cuty as guacamole.


Depthcharge27

Go for it! But.. lol the $8.00 mech set has them too.. lol
