  1. INDEXED Set Number: 7848 Name: Toys R Us delivery truck Theme: City Year of Release: 2010 Pieces: 356 Minifigs: 3 Price: 29.99 Euro BrickLink BrickSet --------------------------------- Hello, this is my first review of a Lego set. I hope you like it. The box shows our brave hero, who arrives just in time to fill up the shelves of Lego City´s first Toys'R'Us. As you can see, the poor saleswoman already tried to bribe the kid, by giving him a car for free. The box is about the same size as the one from his yellow brother 3221. (Just a couple of inches thicker). And, as always, it is barely half filled. The sides of the box shows us the Minifigs, and the front picture. The back gives an impression of the shop´s interior, as well as the proof, that the boy only wanted to buy Lego (and no toy-car). After opening the box, we´ll get 4 bags, 2 instruction-books, a DSS, and 3 dark bley plates (one of them is a baseplate). The DSS (sorry for the blurry pic) gives us 14 stickers. Fortunally, my sheet wasn´t bend, or wrinkled. A random page from the 2nd book. This is, what you get, when you open (and sort) the 4 bags. The inventory pages (also blurry... even though, I used my scanner for this one). Here are the 3 Minifigs. The Driver, is just the same, as in 3221. The saleswoman has a dark bley jacket with a purple scarf. The boy wears a white/light blue hoodie... ...which is also printed on the back. Since the Truck is basicly the same as 3221, I'll just show the results of the first three bags: Bag 1 Bag 2 The Truck (Bags 1 & 2) The Trailer (Bag 3) Finally, we´ll look at the contents of the 4. bag: Random exterior shot during the build. Random interior shot during the build. A close-up of the 3 new Lego-Lego-sets. Unfortunally, just one police-bike. The fire-truck comes in 2 different boxes. One is just a tile on a plate, and the other has the tile attached to a 2x2 brick. The Lego-sets are attached to the yellow plate, to avoid their downfall. The trans-clear panels work nicely as shelves. A close-up of the toy-car and the small hovercraft. They are attached via a black 1x1 round plate. The other side of the shop, featuring the miniatures, and the toy-weapons in a barrel. The front of the store is covered by two 2x2 tiles and a blue 2x4 tile. Each of them gets it's own sticker. The completed store. (Bag 4). Interior shot of the store. And finally a picture of the entire set. Spare parts. The truck itself is just great. Just like his 3221-counterpart he´s huge, he´s powerfull, and a great addition to any Lego-town/-city/-collection. The minifigs are also fantastic. The driver may be the same, as in 3221, but you can always change parts and create new/different civilians. Speaking of civilians, the saleswoman is adorable. A nice torso (jacket with scarf), and not (yet) overused hair. As for the boy: I like his hoodie and the uncommon face with brown eyebrows and the smirky smile. The Store may seem a little small, but it is nevertheless a nice piece of diorama, which can easily be extended. Plus, it is packed with a lot of toys... Lego, miniatures, "toy"-weapons, and a bear. Bonus: A comparison-shot of 3221 and 7848. The payloads. The "supporting cast". Trailer-mix. Thank you for the read. Neb

    Suddenly losing all interest in a whole theme?

    I've always been a fan of the castle-sets. And, being a fan of fantasy, too, the fantasy era-sets were my favorite of the non-licensed castle sets. However, when the fantasy was replaced by Kingdoms, I suddenly lost interest in castle-sets. I can understand my people like Kingdoms, but in my opinion, the sets were just ... well, boring. However, this year's LOTR seems to be a good way for me, to make my return. (Even, if it is technically not a "castle theme").

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

    Hawkman is already in the first row. In the second, we have Hawkgirl, and Huntress. Also, the green head under Scarecrow could be Brainiac... and the Droid in the last row should be a Brainiac-Drone/-Robot. About the blonde nest to Supergirl: Could it be Powergirl?

    LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

    Wonder Woman's Invisble Jet; Lobo's Space-Bike, Catman used to have a Catmobile, the Green Lanterns can actually create whatever vehicle they (or Lego) want, Robin had his own car, called the Redbird (introduced during Knightfall), at the same time Batman had a rail-based vehicle (also used by Jean-Paul Valley/AzBat), the Teen/New/Titans had a jet, Young Justice had a Whizz-Car (or something like that... also used by Superboy & the Ravers), and there could also be a Bruce Wayne/Lex Luthor-Set with a black Limousine...

    MOC: GhostBusters micro Scale

    I really like the Ecto 1. Nice work from your son. However, the logo itself is a bit hard to recognize.

    LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

    I just noticed that amazon.de has listed the"Collector's Edition" of this game. It includes the US-preorder Lex Luthor minifig. It says: - (yellow box on the left) "The perfect gift! With exclusive Lex Luthor Lego toy" - (bottom right corner) "includes one Lego mini-kit"

    Batman Films Discussion

    Actually, Bane first met Ra's some time after Knightfall in the 4 issue mini-series "Bane of the Demon". That is no "distinguishing mark" of Bane. He had his "vision" about the Bat back in Santa Prisca. It was his "mission" to prove, that he is better than the Bat(man), so he could rule Gotham City. It was never about "Beating Batman, because he hates him".

    Bigger sets vs Smaller sets

    I'm missing the option "Sure as long they will be modular and with exclusive minifigs.", so I go with the first option.

    What did you buy today?

    I ordered 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase, and the 10197 Fire Brigade about 2 hours ago. My very first modular building.

    @brickitect It looks like a V11.5 TEE (Trans Europ Express) with a new color scheme.

    Help with identifying parts/sets!

    @spzero The garage-door seems to be from 1966. The baseplate is indeed broken. The hole should be covered up by some sort of ramp: click me The shell-sign appeared in four different sets (three in 1966, and one in 1971): click again The other road-signs are from 1966 aswell: another click I haven't found the last piece from the garage-pic yet, but somehow, I won't be surprised if it is from 1966. Edit: The last part is a "Hinge Coupling" and was used in 20 sets between 1963 and 1969: last click

    Star Trek (General Discussion)

    As a group prefered the Dominion, with the Romulans (especially their cameo in Enterprise). I liked the Borg during their TNG-episodes, and in first contact, but after that, they just got too watered down. My favorite individual villain is Khan Noonien Singh (with Gul Dukat, Dr. Arik Soong, and General Chang as follow-ups). As for the other questions: What is your favorite Series: DS9 (with Enterprise close behind) Your favorite film of the series: Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (The first Star Trek movie I watched at the cinema) Your favorite character from the shows: Now here's a tie between Chief O'Brien, Gul Dukat and various characters played by Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun, Brunt, and Shran) And your favorite epsiode: "Trials and Tribble-ations" from DS9. I can watch this one over, and over again.

    Gene Wilder - The train crash during the Maersk Madness was just an accident... really. Thanks a lot TheBrickster.

    Large Lego sets such as Taj Mahal

    Brickling lists these sets as "Sculptures". Here is a link to that section: click

    LOTR & The Hobbit 2012

    I wonder, why they changed Shelob's legs. On the poster the middle part of them is (from bottom to top) brown 1x4 plate, black hinge-plates, and the brown 1x2 tile, whereas the shown model has the hinge-plates, and the 1x4 plate in an reversed order.

    Maersk Madness Voting

    I have to say, that all of the entries are great. My vote goes to Holodoc, for the glimpse of the Maersk Madness behind the scenes (in this case: the loco-panel).

    Maersk Madness Winners Announced!

    You mean medium blue, instead of Maersk blue? *gasp* But that would be madness! By the way: Your crash reminds me of the end of "Silver Streak".

    Now that gave me the idea for this picture: The Maersk crashing into my (unfinished) Dwarf's Mine MOD/MOC.
  23. Set Number: 5000030 Name: Kendo Jay Theme: Ninjago Year of Release: 2012 Pieces: 31 (including minifig-parts & game card) Minifigs: 1 Price: free, for any purchase at Lego & S@H above 55 Euros BrickLink BrickSet --------------------------------- This is a review of a Ninjago Booster featuring Kendo Jay. The green bag shows all it's contents on the front side. It also shows the Ninjago-logo, and some snake-scales heading from the upper left, to the lower right corner. The back shows the actual size minifig. The set number is written above the barcode. After opening the bag, we get a smaller bag with the actual parts, and the game card (loose inside the big bag), which is kinda blurry on my pic, since I forgot to make a macro shot, and it's holographic. There are no instructions, or promotional leaflets in this set. The minifig has a nice torso-, and leg-printing. Unfortunally, this can't be seen, when the armor is attached. Kendo Jay has a serious face expression and a scar at his right eyebrow. The helmet came in an extra bag, inside the big one. The weapons consist of various sticks (lightsaber blades, and bars), spikes, lightsaber hilts, axe heads, trans blue slopes, a trans blue warning light, a pearl gold spear, and a reddish brown pitchfork. Since we have no instructions, we have to assemble the weapons with the reference-pic on the package. After the "build", we have nine weapons: 3 spears, a pitchfork, an axe, a mace (at least, I think, it is supposed to be one), a (kendo-)stick, a stick with a warning light, and a double-bladed-stick. We also get a ring-like piece, with a nice lightning-pattern. According to BrickLink, it is a "Spinner Crown". The bottom of the spinner crown. Since it features four 1x2 bottom-holes, it can easily be used für MOCs. Verdict Price : na - Since, I got this for free, I have no complains Minifig : 9/10 - I like the armor, and the printing. Unfortunally, Jay has no printing on the back. Parts : 7/10 - Except, for the minifig-parts, only the spinner crown, and the small bars with side-studs are worth mentioning. And it's always nice, go get another pitchfork. Thank you for the read. Neb

    Modular building question...

    Oops, my bad. Have you tried to attach just the round plates? Do they hold on without the rest?

    Modular building question...

    I suppose, it is about step 36 in the 1st book. However, only the lower 1x1s are technic-bricks, slovakiasteph. As cimddwc wrote, the lamps attach to headlights.
