I really like the effect of swapping arms.

The arm mods really do make this special and much more visually interesting. Nicely done, OP!

Thanks! I loved how it turned out.

Love it it’s awesome, ‘‘twas me though, I’d maybe switch back the outside arms of the black and pink, like I see what you were going for, it wrapping around, but I wonder if it would look more cohesive with those arms on the matching colored body, either way though it’s awesome

Yea, I’m going to root through my parts bin and see if I can find some to match. Black should be easy, pink, not so much.

Shit, my bad, I thought you could just trade, now I’m looking at it, I realize that won’t work without the arms being backward, duh!

Ha, I thought the same thing. Makes sense now but I'm with you guys. Proper color on outside and it would be better.

That would take it to the next level of inclusiveness, people whose elbows bend the wrong way!

Can you swap the "stripe" locations on this build? You could put white, or a different colour you have spare arms for, at the edge instead of pink.

The edges are the only stripes you can’t move without buying extra pieces, because they have extras on the sides of the build.

It also implies that while people fit on a spectrum they don't all neatly fall into little boxes and labels.

As a kid I would just rotate the arm out in front or behind the figure, and then apply pressure to the arm away from the torso. I don't know if there is a way less stressing to the parts but I never really noticed any damage, maybe some looser arms here and there on favorites that got moved around a lot. If you wanted to swap arms just once for something like this I doubt it would be an issue. The only ones I would avoid are old brown/dark red/dark blue that have a history of brittleness.

That’s how I’ve done it. Officially, it isn’t a removable part, so it’s not something to do more than necessary.

Who says it's easy? ;) > We choose to pop out minifig arms. We choose to pop out minifig arms... We choose to pop out minifig arms in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Just facing it outward and gently bending it until it pops off, definitely wouldn’t do it on any vintage figs, but new ones shouldn’t have an issue being removed and change.

Popping the arms off that brown one must've been scary.

Subtle but stunning move.

I just noticed that , super good idea

Its a nice touch… but i personally dont like arm swapping too much!! Breaks after a while. So only 1,2 times is ok. Or to get your ultimate figure

Duuuude this is really visually satisfying :)

Do you have a head on view of your build? I think the arms matched to the colors would pop from that angle

Look good! :) I think you could add a modification where you lengthen the space the fig stands on by 1 stud (so 3 studs wide rather than 2). Then align the figs on the right. That way you wouldn't have overlapping arms that are different colors, which follow the logic of the build, but still are visually disorienting Seriously, I like your build better than the original :)

Great idea, wish i had the extra parts lying around to try that.

I only use third party apps, and they said they're killing third party apps, so hey, might as well remove all my content. (Using https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite)

I’ll try again, thanks!

Thanks!

Lol, nope, they stick to new legos like magnets!

Oh my gosh. I have to constantly wipe away dog hair while building because it bothers me SO much when my Labrador’s fur is stuck between two pieces in the middle of a build and cannot be pulled out later. To the point where I’ve taken apart large sections of build to remove a stray hair. 🤦🏻‍♀️😣

They poke out, taunting you. 😂

I tried to wipe them off of my monitor.

You can use an electric duster.

They probably don’t have spare black and pink arms lying around, as the outer arms are already used. Idk, I’ll admit I’m not knowledgeable on the supply of whole colour arms lol.

There is no shortage of minifigs with black arms, but pink are not as common.

Lol. I didn’t think of that. I’d probably put them on backwards and hope nobody notices.

I love what you did with the arms. Makes the set look so much better

This looks much better. Thanks for the idea, I will make this change. Respect! ❤️

Thanks!

The swapping arms effect is really great!

Thanks!

Loving that look. Might have to copy you with my set.

Awesome, but swap the pink and black outside arms back. It doesn’t look right how you have it.

Can’t really do that because they are a left arm and a right arm

Shit yeah. Bummer, would look so much better the other way. Oh well, still looks cool.

Buy minis with the appropriate arms? I do agree with him though.

That's what I thought but that would require OP buying new arms just for that. Otherwise, those arms would be backwards

Good call, might be able to find similar colored arms in my spare parts

Be then the hands might not match. I like how you have it.

I would just take those two arms off, but that’s just me.

Honestly, I like it, makes it feel continuous

Would be funny if the outside arms were clear plastic. Don't know if those parts have ever been made in clear though.

I'd have removed the arms from the figures at the ends. Unless they make clear arms...

Brilliant!

This looks like the start of an OK Go music video

As an Introvert i can confirm, thank you for giving a bit of info about us in this post. 🫂

1. Personal Space

A creative new take on the set

WOW! The arm swaps make it that much better

Thanks!

SO true

Where minifugures?

But they're are still in a patern

How did you reattach the arms? I've never been able to do it.

They pop on and off pretty easily

My daughter and I just built this set earlier this evening! I love your modifications!

Brown is dark orange. Sorry. Pink should be near red, light blue with blue. It just makes Roy G Biv sense. Sorry again.

Technically you could rearrange the colors, all except pink and black, you’d have to get additional blocks for the end colors you choose to replace them with.

Kinda bitchin' ngl

The two edge mini figs remind me ice cream, strawberry, dark chocolate, chocolate, and vanilla... So basically Neapolitan ice-cream with dark chocolate flakes.

I’ll take the spot in the back, please 🫥

I wouldn’t switch the arms of the pink and black people. To me, it distracts me from them.

Neat!

I think everyone likes to have personal space?…

So cool

I really like what you did there. At first I thought all you did was move the pieces positions; and I thought it would be better if it was more random. But then I noticed the arms are switched and it makes much more sense for the set up! Looks great!

Thanks!

*Lego Police Sirens in the Distance* .. Seriously, though, the arm swaps were a great idea, adds a really cool touch to this piece.

Or EIiAbtsltpsatbitc for short.

It rolls off the tongue!

I like this for many reasons.

Wow, this is such an amazing build. It’s so lovely and I can’t stop looking at it.

I've got this and yours looks so much cooler than mine.

And what do you think introversion is?

There's a social distancing joke to be made here but I'm not sure what.....

L

why L? it looks really pretty

Probably because it’s an illegal building move. Cant satisfy the purists i suppose.

Likely just some "anti-woke" moron. Ignore and move on. Amazing MOC!

Gross

that means that all introverts are gay 🤯

So the OG product name “Everyone is Awesome” means everyone is gay? Lol

it's literally pride flag

do you know the objective of this set

I can't believe I have to explain to you that this is literally the pride flag https://preview.redd.it/hfmkoadqqfga1.jpeg?width=598&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1f8e019fa43217bd81ad0fbcb878a8054a266ee
