    BrickShow video reviews

    I don't mind TBS at all. I do find their voices a bit annoying, but I will say that while they lack knowledge of LEGO Products, I don't really mind. They're just reviewing a product for consumes to watch and get a further opinion. Knowledge about the product should have little to do with an opinion unless you're a child who says you don't like something for being too "girly", or for "boys only". The only reason knowledge of the LEGO products should substantially effect somebody's opinion on the product is when comparing a high quality set to a set that is being reviewed of a lower quality. Maybe when it comes to recognizing new molds as well, but I see nothing wrong with the reviews that TBS has put up. I do tend to skip past YCF, I've never really enjoyed their reviews, just because the voices and cheesy nicknames got to me, but I've noticed that while their builds aren't perfect, they tend to provide a bit of feedback for whether or no to buy a set, which is the main part of a review. I also like that the quality of the videos when doing close-ups has improved. I don't really understand the hate towards BrickQueen just because of the whole CUUSOO incident. I've never had a problem with her videos, but I won't say I necessarily enjoy them as much as others. As for J2G, I actually do like his videos a lot compared to some others, but once again, improvements could be made. While not the perfect reviewer, he's definitely improved a whole lot from early videos and I must give him kudos for that. I personally don't watch YouTube reviews a whole lot, but I would say that I most often turn to just2good's reviews, or a stopmotion reviewer I saw (I think it was ArtifexCreations?) simply because I mostly go to watch reviews to see details of the CMF's my main form of purchase. Artifex's videos give me just that. I already know I'm going to buy them all, so there's no need for me to hear an opinion on something I know I'll buy when I can see a clear, crisp image of the specific details on the figure to make accurate feeling guides for the packs.

    CMF Mafia 2 - Day 2 - Special Delivery

    Get to sleep. It's sunset.
  6. Players only, please! Confirmation | Day One At night, Caitie Levanne (Cecilie), is running about, perfecting her serum. "It's about megablocking time I figured this out! Now to test it on one of the frogs in the shack!" As she gets to the shack, she comes across a letter. "Huh, what's this?!" She says, astonished that someone would be clumsy enough to drop their mail. She picks up the letter. "The Council sends their regards. Huh, I wonder what that me-" The for-really-realz dead carcass of the Vampire lays on the ground. As everybody wakes up, Mercutio gathers them outside. Last night, we lost Caitie Levanne. She was a loyal Monster. Somehow, Kingsley's body regenerated and formed that of the Scarecrow. He was also a Monster. You better do better today. The group slits up and starts discussion, and Lacey's even donned a new, sexier wig.

    CMF Mafia 2 - Day 2 - Special Delivery

    Vote Tally Bleeb (Bob) - 10 (Hinckley, LegoDad, Scubacarrot, Peanuts, DarthPotato, Captain Nemo, jamesn,CallMePie, Tamamono, Captain Genaro) Helen Inkling (Hinckley) - 1 (Kristel, Piratedave84) Mikatta (Mencot) - 1 (Bob) With 17 players, a majority of 9 votes is needed to preform a lynch. Therefore, with 10 votes, Bleeb (Bob), has been lynched. Lacey, Hottie McHotterson Carl, and Peter have cornered Bleeb. "We know you just want to abduct us and take us to the Council!" "No, I don't, I swear!" As they get closer, Bleeb starts muttering some alien language, that sounds as if he's choking on a nice juicy sausage. "Bklfggfefdssgdgfghghhh..... jghsghvbdfhnejrgbfd..." Bleeb's chest plate starts to glow, but nobody knows what the megabluck he's doing. Chances are he doesn't either. However, Peter's had enough of Bleeb's megablocks, and Bleeb is quickly torn to shreds by Peter's superjaw. On the bright side, alien flesh is a delicacy for cannibals.. 25 hours left to send in night actions. Go, go, go!

    CMF Mafia 2 - Confirmation and Discussion

    That would be great. closing the day with a conclusion in about 19 minutes..
  9. As for The Simpsons, I don't know how well they'll sell. I've been pleasantly surprised with how it's been made, and I'll probably get the full series, but I don't know if I'll really feel so "hyped" over it as I have been with the past 12 series. It just comes down to whether we get any new accessories with these. I'm sure we will, but at the same time, I wonder whether the cost to mould 12 or whatever (however many we haven't already seen that are supposedly confirmed to be in the series) heads will effect the accessories we get
  10. Well, it's technically an end cap box. Interesting to hear that they're selling better in other areas, especially since Series 11 sold out within days at release here and that my nearest LEGO store was sold out too.

    CMF Mafia 2 - Confirmation and Discussion

    There is a pretty decent chance that I will be ending the day an hour or so early tonight just to make a slightly more convenient schedule. Doing so, I will be giving a little bit of extra time for night actions to be sent in. The next day will probably start Thursday afternoon. Early night actions will be welcomed, appreciated, but not mandatory if somebody with an action isn't ready
  12. Are these selling well in other places? My local Target has had the same box since release, I think, and they still haven't ran out. If course, they could just be actively replenishing the box, and the fact that they aren't in the LEGO aisle may play a part in this, but my store isn't known to frequently replenish minifigures. I got my 10th (I think) figure yesterday, which was Marsha and I'm pretty impressed with this series.
  13. I still don't think a later release makes sense, as an earlier release could be seen as a pretty nice promo and draw people in to being interested in playing, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

    CMF Mafia 2 - Day 2 - Special Delivery

    I'm going to do an early interlude to make up for the one I missed yesterday. Vote Tally Bleeb (Bob) - 10 (Hinckley, Piratedave84,LegoDad, Scubacarrot, Peanuts, DarthPotato, Captain Nemo, jamesn,CallMePie, Tamamono) Kelly Lester (Kristel) - 1 (MetroiD) Helen Inkling (Hinckley) - 1 (Kristel) With 17 players, a majority of 9 votes is needed to preform a lynch. Mercutio stands and gossips with his 4 assistants. "So, how about Bleeb's hair? Totally ugly, right?" "Well how about my abs?" "Oh, Abraham, I love your abs." "Was that Mercutio or Carlisa?" "Oh, Mercutio" Carlisa interrupts. "Did you hear about your special delivery? Meet Calamity Drone and Velma Staplebot!" Two robot assistants walk out, ready to aid Mercutio. Later that day.... "Oh, please, Calamity, I think we all know I'm the better western woman" Clarissa argue. "BEEP BOOP. LIES. LYNCH ALL LIARS" "That would be funny if you weren't an NPC"
  15. Thats what I suggested, and what I was hoping for, so that's good to hear. Why exactly is it October instead of September though? Why go against schedule? CM4S, did we ever see that picture on here? I think I saw the picture somewhere else, and I think it was a very light yellow, somewhat tan color, and I recall seeing some purple on there in the edges, so that's a possibility.

    CMF Mafia 2 - Day One - On the Case

    Final Vote Tally Derek Polanes (DarthPotato) - 2 (Kristel, Captain Genaro) Sally Carrotine (Scubacarrot) -1 (MetroiD) Kingsley of the Starfish (KingoftheZempk) - 10 (Cecilie, jamesn, Hinckley, Peanuts, Scubacarrot, Tamamono, Piratedave84, CallMePie, DarthPotato, Bob) The day has ended with the lynch of Kingsley of the Starfish (KingoftheZempk). As Kingsley takes a nap (what else can a starfish mastermind do away from his lair?), Mikatta and Helen stare at him. "We have to kill him somehow" Mikatta mutters. "This stuff works on all the men" Helen says, pulling a wine bottle out of her dress. "My Specialty" she says as she pours it over Kingsley's body. Kingsley shrivels up in his sleep, and all that's left of him is some orange dust sitting on the hardwood-like dirt. Hours later, Mercutio sits in bed, wondering if the right decision was made. Was it really the starfish? he thinks. Surely it had to have been, he was convicted by a majority. Meanwhile, Helen's cabin is throwing a party. After all, Helen is the smartest of the guests. She even said so. Helen's on her third glass of wine, Kelly's krumping, Lacey's passed out in her new wig, and Melinda stands by the cabin, vomiting up an entire day's worth of food, coming from either too much to drink or too much hairspray. Meanwhile, a tiny minotaur sits inside a barn, watching the utter disaster that is this group of people, wondering when to reveal himself..... You have 24 hours to send in your night actions.
  24. Players only, please! Mercutio forms a circle of people around him, and he introduces himself. "Hello, I am Mercutio Robertson. The 19 of you are regarded as some of history's greatest criminals, all aligned with the Monstrous Minifigures. Well, that's what I thought. It turns out some of you are infiltrators from the Council of Minifigures, brought here to tear apart our gang. Serving you is my initiation, and I'm being judged on your ability to find the scummos." Mercutio walks off to comfort a shocked Balthasar. "Don't megabluck up" he mutters. Discussion among the group begins, chatter everywhere over who's loyal and who could be decieving each other at the very moment.
