Ah. That was actually disappointing, but I do like the armour.

Gonna need pics!

1990s Lego Space was best - how to revive Lego Space
Artanis I replied to Canondorf's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
I only disagree with #5, I think for children the 'dollshouse' format for play is very important. Otherwise the building needs to fold out, not just have a removable roof - that's too fiddly for kids. I never found any problem with imagining back or front walls on anything! This is a characteristic of most Space, Castle & Pirates releases since early/mid 90s, and to their over-all detriment for long-time collectors like myself. All of the waves & factions of Castle from 1984 to 1992(93?) or so went together seamlessly. Classic helmets didn't really gel with the visored replacement, so otherwise 1987 to 1993 or 96 Space (depending on one's opinion) was likewise seamless. Pirates was more like 1989 to 1993 or 94. Now, everything just sits in its own sandpit - too bad if your KKII knights, UFO aliens or such don't 'go' with anything else! -
Blacktron interrogation facility 90s nostalgia

Great! More pics...? -
No airtanks, but still wearing their helmets inside? I don't need/want that set (hooray!)

I found the space lab set at Kmart... $50 instead of $70... now I remember why I only buy exclusive stuff from S@H!

Has this series been demonstrated to have useful codes? Wouldn't surprise me if TLG repeated what they did when they found out we worked out the early series. The only series 25 boxes I saw were at Coles, and if that code is the large one I'd hate to see how small the small code is. Consequently I didn't try scanning it.

Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread
Artanis I replied to BrickJagger's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
That is the saddest thing ever, all of those sets are terrific. At least the rats at the tip got to play with it all. Along with the red Futuron minifig (you know, the really rare one) that I lost somehow after it fell off the table and was never seen again. Don't know how many times I searched... vacuum cleaner must have eaten it. -
Lego Icons 10332 Medieval Town Square Discussion Thread

And they wonder why people resort to Kragle -
Very nice! I agree about the face. Looks like he is saying "StarscreeEEEEAAAMMMMM!!!!" You have to compromise somewhere on a G1 Megatron, the original toy looked terrible in robot mode, so if anybody can make a version that transforms and looks good in both robot & pistol mode, they are an absolute genius.

21348 Lego Ideas Dungeons & Dragons and D&D CMF
Artanis I replied to Black Falcon's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
The leak was a preliminary render! Just like with the space series that just released. The image was a mock-up of the sheet, (ie not yet the final version to go to print) not a mock-up of the minifigs. They're all but locked in, 99%+, I'd expect. And it's still out there. -

Get a whole stack of round tiles and write your own double digit numbers on them with permanent pen! -
LEGO Sci-Fi Ongoing - Rumors, Speculation, and Discussion
Artanis I replied to Lyichir's topic in LEGO Sci-Fi
He has 13 Grammy awards, the first 2 of which were for doing the vocals on the Daft Punk song "Get Lucky", which you would also be familiar with, as it has been regularly played everywhere for over a decade. But at least thanks to your post, I now know that BTS is "popular people" - whereas yesterday I still had no idea what that set was supposed to be, and today still don't know or care what it stands for. -

Thanks for sharing, very nice to see together -
Any space diner should by rights have a black Classic & a blue Futuron minifig a la Schwartz & Galanos from "Space - The Comic"

Ongoing Transformers Rumors and Discussion
Artanis I replied to NoOneOfImportance's topic in LEGO Licensed
Bumblebee it is, apparently -
Various websites tend to mostly use a dash/hyphen, you could say it's because the colon is not a valid character for file names. The logo has 2 offset triangles between the 'M' and the 'TRON', so I think using a colon is accurate. The catalogues had a colon. In typical online style, the following page shows every possible manner of hedging-your-bets: LEGO 6862 Secret M:Tron Space Voyager | Brickset

The City sets should've been in those colours (and thus also not labelled as City).

I don't care what TLG calls anything on their website - there's nothing written on the packaging or instructions of these, I'll call them whatever I want to.

Is It Possible To Reintroduce Old Sets?
Artanis I replied to SpacePolice89's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I think that it can be removed from the filter list now. It served its purpose - @10-15 years ago. It's not really tiresome anymore. (Hasn't been for years.) If it ever becomes a problem again, you can always bring it back. Keeping it in now just confuses new members that don't know the old story. The best use of the filter was when "April Fools" was replaced by "Disney Party" -
I already have 2 Mouth Of Saurons... oh well, still shaping up fairly nicely

Ah, hahaha "Space Explorers Pack" is simply the 3 cheapest existing sets in one box...

Well done everyone, some great work -
[OFFICIAL] Bricklink Designer Program - Series 4 - Finalists Announced
Artanis I replied to Yperio_Bricks's topic in LEGO Pirates
Frankly I would have simply done a straight orange (not dark orange) recolour of the original 1989 Classic uniform, and similar flag with 3 vertical stripes. (I was never really a fan of anything post 1993, other than the ships, of which I have exactly 0 anyway) But the concepts put forward and favoured by everyone else looked really good. I would have been more than happy to see either the orange one in your post, or the more detailed ones I was just looking at released in a wave of sets. -
Simply substituting the legs for the ones from Galaxy Squad, and adding a yellow visor:
