  • @bdonaghu

    I've always been curious as to why LEGO designed the molds for the larger 4x4, 6x6, and 8x16 tiles with the injection point on the top face of the tile. Smaller tiles like 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x4, etc. all have the injection points either on the side or bottom of the tiles. Seems odd.

    • @zandercatznadercat6876
      @zandercatznadercat6876 Před 6 měsíci +24

      Well, the bigger the piece, the harder it is to inject the ABS in order to have a uniform amount of plastic all around the piece. I believe that is due to the plastic getting colder and tougher the more it travels around the mold (which isn't that big of a deal in smaller pieces), so for that reason injecting just from one side would make it a lot harder, you would have to design a mold with multiple injections from various sides of the piece and make it work with the rest of the production line. However I believe Lego said at some point that they're working on better ways to inject the ABS in order to get rid of those annoying bits of plastic on top of tiles and other smooth pieces... That's about what I know about it, hope it helps haha

    With some additional lights from Light My Bricks I added lights to the guns that are beside the bridge structure as well as the guns up front. I also added two lights to the hanger bay on the underside. I purchased a printed tile kit from Brick Tactical that includes a cloth Kama for Captain Rex and show accurate guns for him also. I would say that I have $900 dollars involved between the set itself and the accessories. I plan on getting a display case for it in the near future.

    I won't be getting the Venator until May 4th, but if you could find a way to build those bridges without inserting tiles into clips, that would be a fantastic modification.

    Lego really needs better quality control for their stickers-especially sticker color! It's so bad for light grey that when I built the 007 Aston Martin, I CUT a few of the stickers so there was less grey. I have NEVER cut stickers before or since then. If even the light grey color matched, the Venator's stickers wouldn't be as bad (except that we should get prints for a 650 dollar set).
