I Love the idea....some aliens running out of the grand emporium with shopping bags. One getting stuck in the chandelier. Another one getting icecream outside. And the Supersecret police Busting the Casino on the Top floor, completley ignoring the aliens.
Haha brilliant... Alien conquest was never on my radar growing up but love these mocs. If you still have comicon in BrickNottingham 2.0 you could have a couple of the troops sneaking off to it rather than joining the assault. Rather than ADU I think the first line of defence should be some thoroughly confused SSP troopers
Oh, that pod is fantastic. A+ B-Movie design. I love the idea of ripping the front off the Boutique, as well. Maybe one of the aliens could be the one trying on a suit or enjoying a cream tea? Maybe a partially-built pod could be sticking out of the roof. I like that fighter design as well. Might see if I can bodge one together from my own parts. Do these aliens have a name? Given the theme and the pod design, maybe it could be something like "The Q'onq'rzs."
Imagine getting nicked by a gaggle of aliens and you're god is only concerned with the next brick haul and not your wellbeing. Escape with haste robin! I CRAVE BRICKS!!!
You could build the underside of the really BIG alien mothership flush with the floor, kind of like a facade, and have it be similar in size to the mothership from Independence Day.
These are great little builds. Need more of them though 😂. One in mid air falling from the spacecraft, one attached to a space craft, and maybe one at the bottom of the 20,000 Bricks Under The Sea cabinet. Show the story of how they are transported. Also, love the idea of one crashing through the grand emporium with the funny scenes being shown in full view. Great work as always.
This is actually pretty awesome! Imagine a similar design for the EDF from Alien Conquest, Galaxy Squad, the Alien Avenger CMF from Series 9, or the navy blue Galaxy Patrol CMF/Space Marine from... series 11?
Might have to get some more of those big stickers to have the grate on both sides of the doors. That way you can have some open and some closed if you'd like.
@@RobinHoodBricks if you randomly drop things, it is clumsiness. If you send something to a target, it'd be like the Marvel Movie Thor, where everyone is messing with Thor's Hammer.
Without reading the video title, I knew what they were due to years as a Warhammer 40k player. LEGO has mainly taken the place of Warhammer in my life now. Anywho, great MOC and I love that you’ve got some of the cool slightly more obscure LEGO themes happening in Brick Nottingham, what with Dr Inferno up to no good and the aliens conquesting. Keep up the great work. Kudos.
Another fun little build! One off the pods could crash into the fairground and have it partially sunk in the plates, it would be great fun seeing a couple off the aliens enjoying a ride!
I love the build, but I feel like a drop pod coming down would have a under round bit, for breaking through the atmosphere ( making it appear more like a pear shape sadly coming down but it could be disposable under carriage part before it would land possibly falling off and becoming collateral damaging deb re or possibly it could be a force field thing that would turn off after entering a certain state before preparing landing but still something too maybe consider for an interesting scene maybe)
Yay, Alien 👾 Conquest!!! The only reason they got Robin is to make him say “Alien Conquest is the best Lego theme ever!!!!!” Which is true. 😁 I like the new build and great to have more on the ground. I like the idea of smashing into a boring modular!👍 In my Lego city I’ve got a swarm of Alien Conquest aliens descending on top of my modulars - and the full Alien Defence Unit (including 7066) defending the city from the modular rooftops! JJ F
JJ’s Alien Conquest invasion scene is great - the full theme and more all up in the air! However, I have one question seeing all your recent additions. It all looks great and lovely to see more! However, why isn’t there an Alien Conquest cargo train carriage? Or an ADU carriage rushing to repel an attack? The green or blue or purple would make a great colour for an additional wagon! Thanks for another entertaining and positive video.
I absolutely love these pods 😍. Such a simple and equally amazing build! You are right on with the building smash I can't wait to see this funny scene. Maybe someone playing an alien conquest game being gobs macked to see that they are real 👽👽👽👽👾👾👾👾
Neat idea for the drop pods you probably won't use, what about a hole that has been mashed down into a subway station. Like the haunted station has the ghost train on the second rail another station could have a drop pod smahed through the subway roof into the second rail.
yeah, beginning 2000 i did play warhammer 40k and when that drop pods came in the books and rules they do smash and damage terrain. maybe you can also putting small grey 1x1 with clip for putting alien fighter on the ramp so that he did not fall off for more action effect
Hey, Robin, I love the new drop-pod builds. One suggestion is to utilize the underside of the 2x2x2 slope and add some bricks with stickers to make it look like a computer screen, radar, terminal, or other spaceship gubbins.
First thing I thought when I saw the picture on the video and the titel was that you must be in to Warhammer 40.000 (I am too). I think you have some great ideas for implementing these cool drop pods in your city. Looking forward to see what you will end up doing with them when you place them in the new city. The alien figures are really cool.
You should make a dedicated alien train or atleast a alien carriage for your cargo train. Also you should make a house for your farm in facade form if you include it in your new city😊
Yes.. the super secret police taking the alien ship and the alien (in green glass tank) to area 5155 or whatever code they think we dont know… quietly… with all their lights flashing and sirens sounding… shhhh on their train in plain sight dragged straight through the city centre every three minutes
Love it, I've been catching up with your videos after a holiday and find it hilarious that Brick Nottingham has been invaded by an alien hoard. Love the idea of them just popping up around the city in unusual situations. Hope building your new city is progressing at a good pace and well see it taking shape soon. 😊
11:43 Maybe you should replace the lime 6x6 round plate by 2 3x6 wedge plates (item no. 2419) in the same colour? I think this will fit better with the "doors" closed.
Looks really cool. I think it should be landing in the a rural area and have landed on or near a porta-porty so it looks like all the aliens are coming out from inside out it 😂
Hey Robin LOVE this kind of stuff. Very true to LEGO’s style. I think some chairs inside with the backs up against the columns for 4 troopers to ride in would be a decent addition. Maybe a teddy bear or something funny too
Fantastic. Wondering if you think adding the 1x2 modified plate with the bar either the closed ends PN 48336 or the open ends PN 2540 inside as handles for the alien army to hold on to as they are plummeting to the ground would look right. It might stick out too far though. I'd be curious how it would look with the flap stickers on the outside. Smart choice not adding stickers to the top. It was too busy. Now that you have an army transport system, will you be creating a drop ship next?
You need to make a crashed saucer, either crashed in the ground or into the side of a building. You could have one of the aliens holding the extraterrestrial version of a cell phone, which led to the crash.
I only rarely do full MOCs, mostly I modify (or soup up) builds with the store of pieces I already have. I am the only real Adult Fan of Lego in my family, but as the youngest I inherited many of the childhood sets of my older siblings and possibly some of my older cousins, so I had a big store of older pieces, often without the instructions for the original builds. It's only with the internet I have been able to rediscover some instuctions, although I had kept a few. I somtimes break up new builds I buy to add to my store of pieces ones that are more modern. 2:39 but are they really, when they captured and imprisoned an Alien commander? The aliens may have overreacted, but are the humans really the good guys? If you can make another one you could have it closed or only partly open as if it has just landed and not started disgorging troops yet.
I kinda like the idea that we're the baddies. I definitely have that theme going on in my cabinet with us invading the territories of the Mermen and Atlanteans!
You've done a couple of goofy things in the past but this is by far the goofiest. Lovely! Crush all boring modulars with space lasers and hail our new alien overlords!!!
Do it. Or better still add to them. I might have about five armies under construction. There will be space for them all, finally, in the new LEGO Room!
Hi Robin. love your channel! Idea: how about you paint the upper half of your wall black with white points? As in the transition from the earths atmosphere to space?
I thought that a black ceiling might be a bit oppressive. I want it to be a nice place to be. White is also a good backdrop for hooks and sticky strips for holding stuff up!
Hey robin a idea for the invading scene could be that just to the side of the pods the ssp could be parked and terrorizing and arresting some innocent old lady and looking the other way from the invading force because they need "serve and protect" the citizen and we do know that walking to slow on the side walk is a crime 😂
I like the looting idea, but they should be looting something absolutely ridiculous. Something so inane to us but maybe they don't have it on their planet. Candy comes to mind but I think we can come up with something more ridiculous.
You could do like a Tardis or clown car effect where there are way more aliens coming out of the pods than could possibly fit in there.
Seconded
I totally agree! On a similar note i feel like some sort of Doctor Who reference would be perfectly at home in Brick Nottingham 2.0
Might be tricky at the right scale, but how about a pair of ruby red slippers poking out from under a crash pod?
Yeah, might be hard to convey that. Funny though!
Now we need a ADU drop pod or troop transport! This is a awesome design!
They'll be coming directly from the tower!
I Love the idea....some aliens running out of the grand emporium with shopping bags. One getting stuck in the chandelier. Another one getting icecream outside. And the Supersecret police Busting the Casino on the Top floor, completley ignoring the aliens.
That would be hilarious
Maybe aliens like a gamble too?!
Haha brilliant... Alien conquest was never on my radar growing up but love these mocs. If you still have comicon in BrickNottingham 2.0 you could have a couple of the troops sneaking off to it rather than joining the assault. Rather than ADU I think the first line of defence should be some thoroughly confused SSP troopers
Yes, don't run we're your friends style!

Yes the resulting scenes are endless and could be hilarious!
Imagine getting nicked by a gaggle of aliens and you're god is only concerned with the next brick haul and not your wellbeing.
Escape with haste robin!
I CRAVE BRICKS!!!
It's no fun being Little Robin, haha!
16:52 i definitely think you should put the stickers on the petals, like how the military planes have the country’s flag on them and are marked
I got done more grid stickers on the last haul. They look great double sided!
You could build the underside of the really BIG alien mothership flush with the floor, kind of like a facade, and have it be similar in size to the mothership from Independence Day.
Once I considered getting the huge Imperial Star Destroyer and having it hovering above the city menacingly but it'd be very heavy, haha!
These are great little builds.
Need more of them though 😂.
One in mid air falling from the spacecraft, one attached to a space craft, and maybe one at the bottom of the 20,000 Bricks Under The Sea cabinet.
Show the story of how they are transported.
Also, love the idea of one crashing through the grand emporium with the funny scenes being shown in full view.
Great work as always.
Thanks. I'll have to do that to a building then. More would be good but that's a lot more stickered bits to find!
Phenomenal, creative build! I love it. 👽 👾 👽
Yay. Thanks so much!
Very nice build. As Space and Sci-Fi-Fan, i like those stuff very much :) I hope, that Robin will escape :)
I'm sure he'll survive this as well, haha!
Great build. Love the simple design of the drop pods. Definitely have them smashing stuff below them from their impacts.
Thanks. Will do!
I think one of the drop pods should be on the top of a building empty and all the aliens should be in single file coming down a fire escape.
So many good ideas. I'm gonna need ten drop pods to do them all!
This is actually pretty awesome! Imagine a similar design for the EDF from Alien Conquest, Galaxy Squad, the Alien Avenger CMF from Series 9, or the navy blue Galaxy Patrol CMF/Space Marine from... series 11?
Yeah you could use them for any of those lines with the odd colour change and a few alternate stickers!
Excellent builds! I think your idea of one of these drop pods smashing into a building would be amazing! I love it Robin 😊!
That would be cool. It will have to happen!
Might have to get some more of those big stickers to have the grate on both sides of the doors. That way you can have some open and some closed if you'd like.
My thoughts exactly on the very next haul!
The Mars attacks sound effects had me in bits 😂
Best bit of the movie for me!
I am confident the Boy Scouts will rescue Robin!
Maybe they should be defending the Earth?!
Thats a cool build!
Thanks, Jade!
You could put a pilot in the top of the dome in place of the bricks and the rod and wheel
Are they piloted or just dropped, I wonder!
Maybe a simple one button or switch control for the drop pods to open them? I think that would further tell the one use function of the pod.
As in a sticker? I could do that I suppose!
@@RobinHoodBricks or something like the bdoing button or those windshield wiper type switches.
Speaks in WarHammer alpha numerical at length about drop pods, the need for beacons, and rules as rewritten the allotments of drop pods.
So I need a beacon?!
@@RobinHoodBricks if you randomly drop things, it is clumsiness. If you send something to a target, it'd be like the Marvel Movie Thor, where everyone is messing with Thor's Hammer.

Splat!

Good ideas. I was keeping it fairly simple plus I wanted the ramps to reach the ground. I just love that top down view!
Absolutely love the army of aliens, it will be so good to see how they will invade your larger city
I like how the aliens are spread out in the city rather than in just 1 spot. it creates more diversity 😊
Very bright and colourful too!
Capt. Steven Hiller "Oh no, you did NOT shoot that green stud at me!"
Haha, yes Men In Black!
I think it would create a nice little scene if one of the pods had crashed into and pancaked a car on a city street.
A front bumper, a back bumper and a bit of wreckage!
Yay, Alien 👾 Conquest!!!

Or putting a flower in a space gun?
Just as they open fire!

Implemented suggestions will be without badoing it seems 😅
Haha, I'll wait for it to come out the other end!

Yes!! Aliens!! Love Alien Conquest.

A teddy is funny. I reckon they're like the Tardis with about 20 aliens coming out of reach one, haha!
I think you should aquire a Lego Stitch minifigure and add him among the aliens somewhere, a very appropriate pop culture reference
I have the Stitch with guns for the Cantina. I have no idea about any cultural reference that he may be part of, sadly!
