    2 new Batman sets in 2007

    Interestingly ( :-| ) Bat-Mite appeared recently in comics. The Joker stole his powers along with those of Mr Mxyzptlk and became Emperor of the Universe, and he appeared in Superman/Batman: Vengeance. But no, I don't want to see Bat-Mite either. Great fig, not so great character. The Nightbird and Redbird would be cool. There were actually 4 Robins, Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake and Steph Brown. Dick Grayson is obviously Nightwing, Jason Todd wasn't well-liked and is now Red Hood anyway and Steph Brown is Spoiler and dead. I would prefer Cassandra Cain as Batgirl so we could get an Oracle *wub* KGBeast, the Reaper, Rat Catcher and Mr Zsasz probably aren't well known enough. Neither is Lady Shiva. Then there's Soloman Grundy... Azrael's dead, so its unlikely if lego are going for the modern take. Besides, i've never really liked Azrael. And I forgot Talia :-$

    Lego Star Wars Spring/Summer 07

    I concur. The official ones not bad, but the unofficial one is definately better.

    Thats why I put a question mark next to Black Mask too, because it could be him. Its unlikely but you never know.

    Shop at home catalog

    I got mine on Thursday. Looks cool. Might get a couple of things. Some Aquaraiders, some Creator... Oh, and nice house SalvoBrick!
  5. And so you should! I have to admit, I sometimes find myself swooshing :-$
  6. I'm just sat in my ICT lesson on a break, and attracting minor interest on what i'm doing (posting here ;-) ) So, I was just wondering how people react to your 'deepest darkest secret'. Do they laugh or do they cry? Most people I know seem to accept it and actually secretly think its quite cool. Obviously there are some slight sniggers, but each to his own. Everyones entitled to an opinion. But my close friends accept that lego is who i am, and that its not going to change. My family live with it. I'm not sure they approve completely, but theres nothing they can do about it >:-) . Sorry... People build up a sort of age blanket surrounding 'toys'. Up to about 10 its fine, and then after 16 its fine what with being 'adult'. Anywhere in between is a no-go area. So how about you?

    Prehistoric Theme

    Actually, scientists think we interbred. Interestingly, there also the possibility of another human species, Homo floresiensis, which died out about 13,000 years ago. But sightings of this 'hobbit' could have occured up to 300 years ago. Hmm... There was one other mammal around with the dinosaurs- the Didelphodon. It was small, hairy and badger-sized. Horses started small. The original horse ancestor was the cat-sized Propalaeotherium, which lived around 49-43 million years ago. It was indeed 30-60 cm tall The giant sloth was called Megatherium. The date periods are roughly as follows: 4600 million years ago Formation of Earth 593-248 million years ago The Rise of Life (pre-dinosaur) 248-65 million years ago The Age of Reptiles 65 million-10,000 years ago The Age of Beasts (190,000 years ago Homo sapiens) 'Cavemen' never lived in caves. They stayed in caves, but moved about. Might I suggest anyone wanting to know more about any of this to obtain a copy of the BBC's 'Walking With...' series' (Dinosaurs, Beasts, Cavemen, Monsters (pre-dinosaurs)). BTW, don't let me curb anyone's creativity ;-)

    Exo Force Summer Sets

    Robot rammer- I don't know why, but I just don't really like this. Apart from the mini flyers, it looks... odd. Although I do like the claws on the mech. Kinda like Wolverine. Golden Tower- Not too fussed on the flyer, but as remarked earlier- four golden katanas. In fact, stuff that, GOLD! And because its a prototype, Hikaru's hair is the wrong colour. Ha-Ya-To's mech- My God! Its like an Exo-Suit Exo-Suit. The Dark Blue mech is good on its own, but with three engines, mini wings, big guns, a second pair of arms, red and white, jetpack controls, and overall coolness, this is great. And Ha-Ya-To's got a different torso design to Hikaru this time. Its gold.

    Mars Mission - Pictures

    7691- Meh. Not good, not bad. 7692- I don't mind this. The white ships not bad. Seems interesting. 7693- Now this I like. It looks like some sort of alien bird. A bit Star Trek-y. Definately a plus. 7694- Not too keen on this. Looks a bit :-X 7695- So so. 7697- I'm not sure. The alien fighters good, but the robot thing is a bit :-/ 7690- Looks a little empty. 7699- A drilling rig! A mobile drilling rig! An armoured mobile drilling rig! A special edition mobile... (you can see where this is going ;-) ). Seriously though, this is cool. And is that a bike I see in the background?

    2 new Batman sets in 2007

    Damn, you beat me to it! That's just what I was thinking. Not that Black Mask would be a bad thing. In fact it would be quite good. Bat-Tank= *wub* Bat-Copter= slightly less *wub* Not bad, just less good. As for other sets, these are the remaining Bat-vehicles (that I can think of): Batplane (the Batwing only seats one, the Batplane 2+) Batsub Batcycle Other Batmobiles Remaining (main) villains: Bane (?) Black Mask (?) Harley Quinn Hush Ventriloquist & Scarface Clayface Man-Bat Mad Hatter Ra's Al Ghul Red Hood Remaining allies: Batwoman Batgirl Oracle Spoiler (yes, I know she's dead) Superman Jim Gordon/GCPD Any of these could be used.

    All right, all right. So I made a mistake. I'm only human. ;-)

    I'd rather have the tank >:-) I do remember another Bat-tank from somewhere, but I can't for the life of me (hopefully a phrase I wil never use again ;-) ) remember where. As for the Bat-Copter (Batcopter?) *wub* Hopefully, it'll look more like a modern helicopter rather than the 'submarine bat-copters of the early Batman comics. Although i'd settle for either. But no Batcycle :'-(. And another different Batmobile wouldn't have gone amiss either.

    Introduce yourself... again!

    Hi... um... again. I've been a fan of lego since I was about 5. Thats a running total of about 11 years. I'm a big fan of Batman, and I don't mind Exo-Force either. I'm expecting to be a fan of Aquaraiders too, when I eventually get some of the sets. There also more information about me in my profile entry here Theres just one more thing to tell: the reason behind my name. Its quite simple really- i am a bit of one.

    Regulus Supercar

    Nice. As in very nice. If they really existed (who knows, maybe they do ;-) ), i'd definately buy one. And i'd keep it all to myself >:-)
  22. Technically, it is until either a) you reach adulthood or b) you consider it otherwise. I presume you went with option b. Tell them that a) its your choice of 'lifestyle' b) its better than (insert unsuitable pastime) I like lists ;-)

    UK Sales?

    I went to Woolworths the other day to see if there was anything on sale. The onlt lego left was a Bridge Walker vs White Lightning. At full price. I went to TRU yesterday. Lots of lego, none on sale. Nothing on sale in the Argos catalogue clearance either. Not sure about whats online. Although, I did go into my two Home Bargains the other day, and found a Sir Rascus in one and a Sir Danju in the other for
