    Review Review: Galaxy Squad 70706 Crater Creeper

    Great review! Do these sets come straight from TLG? What is the packaging like? Do you get a special message from TLG with the set? Sorry for being a bit noisy, but I have always wondered about these things. I understand if you can't answer those questions.

    Review REVIEW: 70709 Galactic Titan

    Great review! I actually do not see a problem with the white pieces. I have never been interested in the Galaxy Squad theme, but this review and the quality of the pictures make this set look like eye candy.

    Hamburger on a Flag

    Looks great! I have to say my favorite part is the flag, I have never seen this technique before. The hamburger was nicely done as well.

    Review Review: 7191 UCS X-Wing Fighter

    Great review! I think I can see a little bit of improvement from your old review of this set. In all seriousness, it is a incredible and lengthy review! Every picture is phenomenal, and I hope one day I can present reviews to that standard.

    Great build! I love your interiors, perhaps even more than you exteriors! You have used some great techniques here such as the candles and the chair! Great job! The map placement is great as well!

    Albion Tower

    Thank you as well! I will probably be building a new tower in the near future and all of the feedback is great. The reason I do try different things is because I want to try it and improve. Again, Thanks!

    Really awesome! This incredible! It looks very professional! Are you going to do the full movie?

    Albion Tower

    Thanks for the advice! I didn't really know what to do about the landscaping actually. I thought the same thing , it looks bla. However, this is in the middle of the city, thus I didn't want to give it a rustic look with lots of trees, etc.

    PLEASE wander into the subforum!

    Do not ignore him! He speaks the truth. Go check that forum out, it is awesome! It has transformed beginner MOCers into legends.

    N3 It is NB for Nu Breed. Although I have no part in it (at least yet), it is indeed a group of builders. You might think it is a group of Avalonian builders if you noticed the trend lately. Anyway, here is the announcement by DC himself.

    Review: 60000 Fire Motorcycle

    This year, The LEGO Group has came up with all new sets for their adored City line. One of these sets is 60000 Fire Motorcycle. This little set is a great addition to anyone's collection and a must-have for fans of the LEGO City Fire sets. So go ahead and read this review! BASIC INFORMATION: Set Name: Fire Motorcycle Set Number: 60000 Number of Pieces: 4 Minifigs: 1 Price: £4.99 / US$6.99 Theme: City (Fire) ​Year Released: 2013 RESOURCES: LEGO Shop @ Home Brickset LEGO.com Bricklink THE REVIEW: The Box Front: A typical looking LEGO City set box. Nice that The LEGO Group tries to make it look better than it is. With bright flames and cement on the ground. Side: I love the new Fire fighter! He looks a lot more realistic than the one before. But we will go into the minifig later on. Back: The back of the box shows all of the features of the set. You see the rockin' motorcycle and the recycling bin. You also see the set in action that it will probably never realistically see. Instructions Front: Just like the box, a typical scene. Again it shows the set in action. The sun looks like a flash from camera. Instructions Image: The instructions are made for young boys. Thus making them really easy. This set is not a challenge to build, but it is fun. To bad my instructions had a little smudge. Contents: What a variety! Here's the bricks, all forty of them. You can see that you get many different colors with set. I am loving the big red motorcycle piece. No printed pieces, only stickers. (Dreaded) Sticker Sheet: I don't have anything to say about stickers. Extra Pieces: After you are done with the build you will find your extra pieces. In this set you get lots of extra pieces, which you should at $6.99 for 40 pieces. Minifig Front and Back Comparison Shot: I just wanted to do a comparison to show you how much more realistic the fire fighter is. The old one looked like a Halloween costume while the new one looks like a real fire fighter. The back of this minifig is really good. It is nice see that The LEGO Group has taken care in the back of this guy's torso. The Fire Motorcycle Build Process The Motorcycle before the armor: This is a pretty neat little picture. It's the motorcycle before the spice. I think it is a ingenious idea for stands. And let's move on! The Finished Motorcycle: Here she is in all her glory. Isn't she a fine thing? The motorcycle looks very modern and slick. Although I usually don't like big molds, I think The LEGO Group did good here. Additional Shots of the Motorcycle: I really like how these photos came out. They give three different sides of the motorcycle. I'll start with the back. The back of the motorcycle looks simply like the back. It isn't fancy so I think a back is a back. The two side look lovely, however I do not like the stud above the back wheel. It makes it less realistic. Other than that it looks great and as I said, modern. Comparison Shot: Which one should he choose? I think the choice is obvious. LEGO has come a long way as you can see in this picture. The Recycling Bin: This is a nice little bin. The sticker ( ) is clear so you can use it elsewhere. The only bad thing is that the lid is the to long. The Full Set: All and all, it isn't a bad set. It comes with some really cool stuff. Different Full Shot: Here is a different shot of the full set. You see the nice little minifig on his sleek motorcycle. This shot also gives you a good image of the fire extinguisher. It is a good little tool, but I feel that TLG could put a round 1x1 stud on the bottom of it to cover the whole. But other than that it's great. So let's see how it adds up! Totals: Design: 7/10 I think the design is simple. It is a small set so I can't be to picky. The the recycling bin is pretty sad to be honest. But I think the motorcycle makes up for it. I can't get over how awesome it is. But again the recycling bin is to simple. Parts: 6/10 Not really much pieces to MOC with. Well then again there are only 40 pieces. But there aren't really any bad pieces. Build: 9/10 It is a easy build. The LEGO City theme is geared for kids so any AFOL shouldn't have any trouble building this set. It was a rather fun build, perhaps because it was so easy. Minfigs: 10/10 I love this new fire fighter! He looks realistic and cool. I love his head as it looks rather neat. For a small set like this, a great minifig! Playability: 10/10 This set was made for play ability This set is a great one if you want to play with it. It even comes with a fire! Price: 7/10 At a little over 12 cents per brick it's a little pricey. I think this set could easily be $4.99 or so. But it does come with a cool fig and motorcycle. Total: 49/60 As I have said, it's a good set, but not great. I think wouldn't hurt to go buy it, but you can't be expected lots. The set doesn't really come with some awesome pieces besides the big red motorcycle mold which some people wouldn't call awesome. I really enjoyed doing this review and I'll let you guys decide how good the set is.

    MOC: The new Armada Flagship

    Wow! Pretty good job! I love this set and you made a pretty good job on making it bigger. I would like to see to gun deck if possible. The other thing that comes to my mind is the figurehead, she is the same color as the crew which is a bit strange for a figurehead. Also, here: you notice that after the canons, the ship goes down a little before the captain's cabin. That is unusual in a ship, thus that is a bit strange as well. But other than that, great job!

    Ship Trilogy

    Great set of builds! You are a great builder of ships. May favorite has to be the shipwrecked one, the effect with the water was just great.
