Domcalmet1 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I did this built as an homage to the beautiful Banpresto arcade game, modifying a comercial set, all and all I like the retro gaming nostalgic vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really fast because I used another commercial set, for full disclosure I really only designed the valks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Kyuun Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hey, those are Dia Block. I had a bunch of that stuff growing up, and built with it as much, if not more, than my meager LEGO collection (at the time- now it takes up a quarter of my house). It was known as Brix-Blox, or Loc-Blocks here in the States. Anyway, cool build. Those little valks are adorable. I haven't really kept up on the evolution of Dia Block, but judging from that arcade cabinet, they're still producing some neat stuff. I had some cool space sets they produced back in the '80s, and I loved them, as they introduced a lot of new and more complex elements that hadn't been available prior. Anyway, thanks for sharing. You've pressed my nostalgia button, so I may have go see what else they're making these days. (IIRC, they made Gundam and Evangelion sets some years back, but I didn't keep up with their stuff beyond that). It'd be cool if they made Macross sets-just sayin'. Cheers!
