Nice idea, but the price is too much!

I am wondering if anyone has ever thought of getting Lego to to produce a specific part in a specific colour that hasn't been issued in a set and how much it would cost. My guess it would be quite a lot of money!

I have thought up a few more: Gender: Male Occupation: Bobby, you know the old school British policeman Head with stern and serious expression Black torso, jacket with buttons and collar, black legs Accessories: Black Bobby helmet with silver badge, reddish brown nightstick Gender: Male Occupation: Mountie Head with stern and serious expression Red torso, jacket with collar, black legs Accessories: Mountie hat, revolver Gender: Female Occupation: Violin player busker Head with serious look of concentration Stripey sweater, jeans Accessories: Violin, bow, violin case Gender: Male Occupation: Drummer Head with smile maybe a Ringo Starr like beard t-shirt and jeans Accessories: drum kit and drum sticks

I would go more with play. For example, with the collectible minifigs I have wound up doing vignettes with them and using the doubles and triples as the base for new minifigs. It is fun to create a scene and I try to have some sort of playablity aspect to the MOCs I do, or at least try to make them sturdy enough for play.

Thanks. I am thinking of doing a vig of the "But until that day – accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day" scene from The Godfather. Now I think for that vig you are thinking, track suits might be a bit better.

I never got into Technic when I was a kid, it never really appealed to me. However, some of the parts can be useful. I found that a brown Connector 32530 with two gray Pin 4274 can make something that looks like an old time radio, when you add a black Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Grille with Bottom Groove / Lip to it. I am currently adding it to a MOC I am working on. I have also used some random Technic bits I picked up in a bag of Lego at a yard sale for part of a space ship interior vignette. Try to find the potential in the parts and you can find something new.

Thanks for the offer, but I have found use for the pies and will probably bricklink the head, torso, and hat.

Thanks all. Everything here is purist, which makes things even more fun. Pond's hair is 92083 from Ginny Weasley. Here is another scene done before the Impossible Astronaut scene. Note I did change Amy's torso out Doctor Who: Series 6 by Triborough, on Flickr The Doctor, Amy Pond, Rory Williams, River Song, Canton Everett Delaware III, and Richard Nixon. And here is Rory the Roman and Amy in her Police outfit. The Ponds by Triborough, on Flickr

My package from TRU came today. I ordered 24 and I got about 5 of the stupid clowns. I already had one, which is more than enough - this is the one I am loathing out of this series with its stupid useless clown torso, head and hat - at least the short legs and pie are useful. Got three of the aerobics instructor two of the detective, and two eskimos. Didn't get even one of the one I don't have and didn't get, the graduate.

Here are a few City themed vignettes I did awhile back: Airport Gate by Triborough, on Flickr Self Defence by Triborough, on Flickr Sunday at the Zoo by Triborough, on Flickr OK, I'll play. by Triborough, on Flickr Scene from an Italian Restaurant by Triborough, on Flickr This last one I am adapting into a small one story modular building.

I was in Target yesterday and picked up 3365 when I realized the astronaut minifig was perfect for recreating the Doctor's untimely meeting with the astronaut suit. The Impossible Astronaut by Triborough, on Flickr

I noticed that the black on the Series 5 Gangster seems to be duller than the normal Lego black. In the picture below, you can sort of see it on the black fedora, with the normal one on the left and the Gangster's on the right. I also noticed the legs also seemed a bit duller. No doubt this is due to differing production. The Brickfather by Triborough, on Flickr

Agreed. He also has a nice head and his hair adds some more colour diversity. The torso (with the switch to yellow hands) can work on a civilian, albeit one who is a racing enthusiast. Agreed on the Street Skater. The head with the glasses is very versatile and the torso works well on civilians. Plus we got some nice dark tan legs, too.
