Luke McAwesome Posted June 30, 2009 Sounds good to me. A Power Miners minifig with a head lamp would be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Bricks Posted June 30, 2009 I'm not sure why anyone would want minifigs that have lights in their feet. Is that what this is ? I don't really understand this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnny 5 Posted July 5, 2009 Minfigs that have light up feet? I don't get that either. Guess I'll have to see it. The other parts sound pretty interesting though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Who Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) I was hoping this thread would be something about either AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock," or Led Zeppelin (in general). Anyway , I wonder if the minifigs will be able to stand attached to studs, or if you have to pull off some sort of balancing act...Or if you are supposed to hang him like a disco ball in your MOCs...

Millacol88 Posted July 5, 2009 Ooh. Made by "IQ Hong Kong." I'm expecting fairly low quality here, and possibly some lead-based paint. No offense to Chinese people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Who Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) No offense to Chinese people. Well, what should they expect? Not our fault a ton of Chinese products turn out to be crap. Also no offense to any who may be Chinese here on EB. Just saying, crappy products annoy me. [On topic] So exactly when are we supposed to be getting these products?
