Actually the big cannons came first, with a round projectile. They also had crazy frisbee-like half-automic shooters in some products back in 2007. mars mission had air-powered artillery and bionicle had crazy weapons.

Honestly for the flick fire bricks I think that both have their uses. For the more recent ones those can simulate laser fire while the other type of flick fire bricks are more for physical projectiles. They should make it so that some sets use the older version(perhaps retooled for modern sets) and for other sets(primarily star wars and sci-fi sets) they use the newer kind.

Honestly, the first Yoda Minifigure head looked the most accurate to the movies (other than the coloring). You can see greater detail in the chin and it makes a big difference. His eyes also squint-ier which makes him look much older like he actually is. If they just painted his eyes and have him better coloring that would be the best looking Yoda Minifigure.

I was always pretty indifferent to lego projectiles as a kid. I preferred my imagination for the effects and would've much rather had a more accurate build than missiles

I will forever prefer the flick fire missiles. The spring loaded launchers can easily be triggered by accident, take up more space and get lost easily (due to them firing further and being slightly translucent).

You totally missed the first lego stud shooter.... the Pirate Cannon from 1989. Sold with only the first wave of the black sea baracuda in 1989. Then outlawed in the US as a choaking hazzard. It brought the change of holes in 1x1 heads and 1x1 round bricks for breathing if a child swallowed it. Lego redesigned the Cannon as a 1 piece non firing. The shooting Cannon was sold in Europe as an accessory pack.

I do not know if Europe got shooting / non-shooting cannons in which sets. US child safety laws were changed about spring loaded toys after a few children got hurt and I think 1 or 2 or a few died.

One of my all time favorite sets, 21151 Lego minecraft the end shows what could have been a better reality. It features a flick shooter with thoughtful implementation (Literally into the body of the set and with a trigger MECHANISM), and a stud shooter that connects to a plate. If all stud shooters and all flick missiles were like this, there would be no problems with them. I am of the opinion that it's the BAD sets that make the reputation.

Personally, the flick shooters can be used as ascetic pieces too, I like them. I really like the 6 pellet shooter turrets on vehicles as they are functional and cool

Lego they didn't understand that when their little projectiles hit a target, it just goes "Ping". They think that kids are amazed by it, when in reality it's disappointing. I prefer to imagine everything because it's much more fun.

This is why the flick missels are more lego like.

Honestly, a y wing bomber using flick fire for the bombs and spring loaded guns for the front, and a stud shooter for the turret just sounds amazing, am I the only one who sees the obvious nature of using these projectiles like this?

the flick fire missiles do look more artistically appealing, though from a playstyle point of view, i never found them to be very powerful. maybe I was just firing them wrong, but w/e. the spring loaded launchers do a better job of firing so better for playing with, though I find in some kits they go off too easily when either grabbing the set or putting it down. A lot of the time I just leave them unloaded if i feel like they will fire too easily when moving the set. I am not a fan of the stud shooters. for playing with, they are fine, but I do prefer the blasters. the stud shooters remind me of the kinetic form of the old "blasters" lego used to use that used a stud and a microphone like piece.

Actually the spring 1x4 grey launcher is pretty useful for making some sort of patterns for example for walls but they are unfortunetly not that cheap compared to pieces you use to make a similar pattern using cheese slopes

LEGO Ninjago Rattlecopter 9443

The spring loaded launchers would always be so sensitive, so whenever I wanted to like move a lego set, I'd end up accidentally launching some or all of the projectiles before I could even use them as a play feature

In addition to the shurikens, the tridents from the Atlantis theme had two iterations: one is hard plastic with a small circle design at the base of the prongs, amd the other is a soft bendy plastic without the circle design.

@@ThatSmolFloof Exactly, Lego leveled up way too fast.

Off the top of my head... I seem to remember there being a sort of disc-launcher in, at the very least, one or two of the Mars Mission sets. It was a cylindrical container with a slot at the bottom and a plastic tab on the side that could be pulled back and released to flick the discs out I also remember Bionicles having a bunch of cool projectile launchers. From my childhood I remember only two (unless you wanna count the let-it-rip style propeller launchers) -- there was an elastic-powered ball launcher for one line and a mechanical 6-shooter with custom darts for another.

The earliest sets I owned were the megaphone piece blasters. It's absolutely hilarious to me that they returned to that.

i could never get flick missles to work, so spring shooters are my personal favorite

1:22 it’s a ninjago set. All I remember is it was the snake faction in one of the earliest seasons. I wanna say it was some sort of aircraft. I actually had that set. Flick fire was my childhood

I liked flickfire missiles bc when not in use they looked like missiles you could see being loaded onto a ship. On the other hand I like how spring shooters can be better integrated into sets

i agree this is why i never minded them at all, they looked cooler than the new spring missles

1:20 it's the Rattlecopter from lego ninjago. That set was so good, especially in looks, and the engines on that thing were perfecto

That wookie stud-caster looks like a pretty neat design

For the the flick missiles vs Spring shooter, I like them both, I use the spring shooters for integrated laser canons, and the flick missiles for external missiles launchers.

2:22 fun fact: battle for ninjago city is a set with both flick missils and spring loaded lauchers

Stud shooter on vehicle: fine Stud shooter on person: HERSEY

Bro the flick missiles are my favorite. I feel like they look the most like actual missiles and the fact that you can build onto the missile base means their appearance can be very versatile.

flick fire or spring launcher: THE ANSWER IS it depends

I think the spring launchers are fine for most star wars sets and other builds that you might want to have a more “laser” look to it, but the flick fires are easily customizable, unlike the spring launcher

I personally find the the fick fire piece a very useful part when transitioning with technic and bar recieving parts, it can be used for some nice greeble too. The spring loaded thing can mostly just shoot or be used as a brick with interesting texture (no recolors for it though)

Stud shooters are the worst LEGO piece ever made.

1:24 rattlecopter, one of my favourites as a kid

1:24 I’m pretty sure that’s the snake helicopter thing with Kai, Lloyd and a tall snake dude. It was my second ever Ninjago set and I remember wanting it purely for the Kai minifigure since he was my favorite character at the time. Happy memories

Yeah I remember how fit it was to build the snake head

With the flick fire missiles and spring fire ones, for me they fill two separate aesthetic roles, the flick fire missiles typically look more like an actual missile then a laser where as the springfire ones do look like lasers, so I’ve always thought it would be an interesting concept to use both on something

I like the old one , because you can build small pieces on it and it looks like lego more , like lego is now using plastic to make the exact same model , like the new laser blaster thingly , using stud to make something like the laser gun is what make you creative , you have to think what to use in order to look like that piece , so i think old one is better

I was never a fan of flick fire missiles but i do appreciate the variety. I'm not a fan of minifig-held stud shooters either, but i do like the ones built into ships. I really like the newer laser bolt projectiles, but my favorite will always be the technic bullets.
