    One thing i know from owning a used version of a set and knowing a friend who sold vintage lego sets is that something that really jacks up the price of the zeplin balloon piece is if it doesn't have the stressmarks on the back where you screw the tail on.
    Because often people turn it too far and you get bright gray marks from where the threads have pushed too far, and since the plastic of the balloon is quite thin it only needs to happen once and the damage is permanent.
    Never seen the piece without that mark, though i haven't seen a Mint version.

  • @DiceRobo
    @DiceRobo 3 місяці тому +13

    It might not be *as* expensive to produce as you think. Judging by the way the plastic looks and it not having any stud connections it is very similar to the baseplates or technic figure canisters from this era. The way they were produced is not injection molding but vacuum formed plastic. Having no studs makes it wayyy easier to produce than a baseplate since it doesn't need the same tolerances as a Lego brick. Nowadays Lego is trying to shift away from baseplates because of that difference in producing parts, so that's why you probably wouldn't see something this large made again, just like with Bionicle cannisters sadly.

    Lego have snuck in a few Adventurers figure into sets and CMFs recently, and easter eggs in the Creator Haunted House... so it's about time they just released an new Adventurers line... and the Zeppelin is one of the first sets they should update.
    The Batman blimp MOC was brilliant... and with Lego releasing the animated series set, that would make sense to release as a set too!

    I had no idea that it used stickers for the details! I'd never bothered to look into it's part inventory, I just thought it was a neat blimp and LEGO predecorated it, that makes it a lot more versatile. I also thought the parts would have been inside the blimp, too, because that's how it was with the Star Wars Planet Sets, all 12 of them were even sticking out of the boxes. It was a lot of fun packaging, and maybe, maybe not, saved on space. I don't know if I can say the same when looking at this packaging for the blimp, but it definitely would have been better had most of the parts been inside. It doesn't seem like it would have been all that different than a Toa Canister the following year.
    The fact that blimp can be easily dented though is sad to hear. My suspicion is that it was made similarly to how some glass vases are made, which is by blowing air into a glob of the stuff into a mold, making that plastic really thin. Without having the part on hand, I can't be one hundred percent certain, but I bet with plastic it might be similar to vacuum forming, but instead of heating up a sheet of plastic and then placing it down on a mold and sucking out all the air, a thicker sheet of plastic is placed just under a mold and air is blown in to fill the cavity, and the flashing gets removed from the opening quite easily. It's definitely bigger on the inside than the opening is, so that's the only way I can think it would have to be done, but there are still a few things I'm not certain about like those ridges inside making the connection points outside sturdier. The tail seems a bit more strait forward with a standard injection molding that unscrews itself once the part has cooled enough to be removed from the mold, but there's a few little bits that would also prevent that unless you have a really crazy looking mold with multiple pieces inside that need a final piece that pushes them out. It's the little pieces for the fins on the inside that are throwing me.
    Ben, you should have asked how it was made. Go back to Denmark and get the answer.

    I'm pretty sure I still have mine somewhere. I can almost guarantee that it has a few dents and know for a fact that the stickers(those that are still on) have seen better days, but I should still have it. If Lego ever did re-release the blimp piece, I would hope they'd make a better way of connecting it, maybe using technic axles or something, since I remember having a lot of problems getting the flag poles out whenever I wanted to disassemble the set.
