So, as pretty much promised, a telephone box! Not based on any countries Telephone boxes in particular, I was inspired by the (few still complete) modern British boxes in terms of the reflective glass. Everything else just came from either my memory or imagination. The telephone box, designed to be sturdy, but also modular in a sense for quick destruction I mean, disassembly. A side view. When I got these panels I knew I had to use them for this project. Their stickers, I believe. The back, not meant to be viewed, I may add a printed piece or something to cover the back. Any suggestions would be great! Another side view! It's exactly the same as the other side, expect for the accidental reflection of my desk. A top view. An inside view. A pic of Joe inside the box. An extra "alternative" model, a British version! Complete with urinating drunken fool, smashed glass, burnt out innards, and nicked petty cash. Enjoy!

Thing wore white pants, and a white vest, when the FF changed to the Future Foundation. Thing also has wore red along with the rest of the FF recently I believe, though I have no clue why, I'm out of touch with the comics so perhaps someone else can help. Loving the Thing! Though I believe he should be one of these quasi big figs (like some of the TMNT figs), I'm still going to get this one. Looks great, is it original or is it based on someone's custom?

Thanks laka! I've been considering getting some of those panels, unfortunately I've got none spare, except in black, white, and yellow, so to save the colour scheme I stayed with the 1X1s in the mean time. The panels (I think) would also act as "shelving" for the larger crates (the 2X3s, if that makes sense). I'd never thought of that! Thanks for the idea, I love that truck, it always seemed a shame that (to my knowledge) no other vehicle sported the same colour scheme and insignia (though I'm aware a few tow trucks have had the same motorway logo and a yellow/red colour scheme, such as 6674 Crane Truck).

Thanks LT (If I may call you that)! I'm not a very good MOCer, far from it to be honest, I find I'm better at getting official sets and modifying them. That's not to say I don't MOC though! I may break my own rule and upload a Telephone box MOC tomorrow while I have spare time, so keep an eye out.

What about awards? I'm no expert, no clue when these awards happen and it's a stretch for sure, just an idea.

The rear end of an Exxon fuel tanker.

I got a US version of 70706 Crater Creeper, and I must say, in comparison to the European versions I normally buy, not only did it have the necessary text, but it also "feels" better. The cardboard's thicker, it feels more robust, whereas the European versions feel like they're just crumple up and flatten in an uncontrollable way if I apply even the minutest pressure to the tabs.

This is a fantastic idea and extremely well executed! I'm really loving the overall feel and look of the track layout, great concept in regards to how you did the bridge and the river under it. Also great work on the photography and filming of the track, I eagerly await more!

Thanks again! I'm going to add a bandanna, a flesh right arm and blue hand at least to make her more accurate. rosalind14 asked when I'd make some DC figures. Though these aren't DC figures, their Marvel characters based on DC's JLA (I know, a bit of a stretch!). Power Princess (if anyone knows a good helmet for her, like in this pic: http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/11/117763/3098009-powerprincess.jpg , I'd be very grateful!). The Whizzer Doctor Spectrum Squadron Supreme so far (I'm working on Lady Lark, Golden Archer, and Nighthawk) Enjoy!

A store I frequent on holiday has it's older minifigs/sets in the same sort of cases. I believe the place is endorsed by Lego as they sell exclusives and have official Lego bags. But I agree, holding a set, hearing the bricks rattle around inside, nothing beats it. Not to mention the problems of opening the case all the time.

I have no idea if similar ideas have been posted, but I thought I'd share a few ideas of mine for some "great vehicles" as Lego calls them. TV Camera crew, a van, blue and grey, maybe the same logo as the classic town version? Three minifigs, a news reporter, one camera man, and a technician perhaps. The inside of the van would have various appropriate monitors, and space to store camera equipment/lights etc. A tram. Similar design to the public transport version, maybe white and blue, or green? Two figs, a driver and a passenger. White van. Well, a white van, it'd be white, and it'd look like a Ford transit! Two minifigs, just average people, and some crates to go in the back. Freezer truck. An updated version of the Tine truck from 1999 is what I'm thinking. Two minifigs, one to drive, one to get out and move the goods. Taxi. Yellow cab, similar to the one in this years train station. One passenger, one driver. Double decker bus. Like the City Corner one just stairs at the back and more seating at the top. Maybe a blue/black colour scheme? Three minifigs, one driver, two passengers.

Wow!! Love it, adds so much to the figure, makes you wonder why Lego never went down this route themselves. Excellent upgrade to Cyke Colossus! Will you be posting any more of your customs?

The girl's better than the Win kid, but theirs something about her, sinister, like she's concealing a machete or knows something I don't know with a very suspicious smile. I know I've already commented, but I've been sorting 1000 plus instruction manuals, and the win kid on the back of the City Chinook is massive. These huge, unblinking eyes...Scared the hell out of me at one in the morning yesterday.

To be honest, I would buy it if it was that fantastic Batwing, Adam West Batmobile, and Bat-tank. Maybe the tumbler from the poster (AKA recolored Bane Tumbler), along with the other models? Perhaps a few Batsuits (that recolored one from the Riddler set this year, purple Batman and Adam West one from this year?).

You know I've been doing the same thing, looking for classic layouts, as I've been refitting my town and I've been looking for inspiration. I never got any of the classic sets unfortunately (I started in 08), but I've been amending that recently, theirs something about them I really love. My City is completely Town/City sets (I can't afford at the moment Modular's, road plates or Trains, plus, if I did get a modular, I'd probably take the back off), but it's not ready just yet for viewing. However, I do know there are plenty of Town/City layouts that aren't in the layout registry (I can think of at least three and I've only really been active here just over a year). I'll see if I can find any.

I know. If this Tumbler happens this will be DC's second whereas Marvel has zero. I can understand that we've got nine Marvel sets this year, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed that Marvel's missing quite a large section of the market, and us Marvel Lego fans are too as a result. Maybe Marvel's waiting till next year with Avengers 2?

I concur! Who can you not forget the oh so funny "Guardians Gather!!" by Vance when the teams been slaughtered by Captain Universe? In all serious I love them, my fourth favourite team. The concept was brilliant, seeing what the universe was like in the future of the Marvel universe. What effects where of the heroic age on this history? What happened to all the Mutants? Who was left from our time? Who's ancestors where around? The characters where all developed to a degree, the art was great, the stories compelling, and although not part of the 1990's series the moment from the Korvac saga when Charlie 27 picks up Beast is hilarious and memorable on its own. "Oh, I'd say it must be some sort of space monkey, Nikki! Ugly, isn't it?". The ensuring conversation is IMO hilarious.

Correct. Astro's/Martinex's team was the first, labelled "explore the Marvel universe in the 31st century!" (a brilliant, brilliant, series IMO), whereas the latest bunch that the film's based on are set in the "present day" (Iron Man joins them on a holiday for awhile).

Jeez, looks like they ripped off Oky's racers! Damn clone brands. I'll be honest, I'm going to get some of the superhero figures. I know a lot of people are against it, I am too, but as a customizer and a superhero nut, for a couple of pounds I'm not really risking anything. Dump the arms, legs, hands and any other parts necessary, swap them for the pure stuff, and I've got a new figure with better printing than anything I could do myself. I have a great deal of time for all customizers out there, but $80 for an FF set or £4 for a set? As much as it saddens me, It's a no brainer personally. $80-£48 is over half the spare cash I normally have. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I understand that, giant, 60's angry purple and blue spaceman outfits are out of the picture, but honestly, if they dressed him in a chicken suit with platform boots he would've been more menacing than "the cloud". Since I was a kid to me Galactus was a force to be reckoned with, a huge unstoppable menace the likes the heroes of the Marvel universe had rarely seen. He's up at the top in my opinion in regards to how powerful he is, people like Korvac, The Grandmaster, Those Who Sit Above In Shadow, Death, The Stranger, Lord Chaos and Lord Order, them kind of people. To then see this cloud, who was meant to be Galactus, destroyer of worlds, consumer of planets, a storm cloud?!? I sat a laughed in the Cinema. Sorry to those who liked him. True, the X-Men films have mostly been good to excellent, I'm not knocking what they've done, it's just some part of me would like to see them all in one universe, like how Professor X would casually drop out that these costumes are made by his friend Reed Richards and are made of unstable molecules, or the FF and Avengers are out hunting angry space clouds or something. It's, nice, I suppose, to me at least, when they acknowledge another part of the Marvel universe. It gives itself a larger continuity between everything, something I loved about EMH. I'm not sure, perhaps it was. I'll see if I can find anything on it.

Nice to see you got the reference! It's extremely unlikely due to a whole truck load of things, whoever, I hold out hope due to the uncanny resemblances some previous minifigs have had to people. That's what I was thinking. Maybe a new Pizza box mould or just a printed tile with a Lego reference, yours being the one I'd say was the most likely, as Lego Island is held with high regard and nostalgia among many fans.

Well, a bit of a let down personally. Sure, it's all right, but non minifig vehicles have never been my department, particular the Tumbler. I don't really know what Lego is going for personally, I know many who won't buy this, it seems like a bad move personally but still, what do I know? I'm not even a big DC fan. Maybe it'll be the next big thing, but I would've preferred an Adam West Batmobile any day of the week, and I'm sure many here would too. Still, I'm happy for those who want to get this.

Just to add in here, I'm pretty much of the same opinion of Faefrost, both in regards to the Beast (him and Wonder Man getting drunk, then looking over the bay to see Red Ronin still cracks me up, such a brilliant, hilarious character) and Hank Pym. I liked him, a bit, when he became the blue/yellow Goliath, I liked the costume! Then Clint came along and I preferred him as a Goliath (Clint's also been one of my most favoured characters, ever, along with Beast and Wonder Man, no matter him being Hawkeye/Goliath/Ronin etc.). Like many others I liked him in EMH, such a brilliant cartoon I found it hard to dislike anyone as everyone in it was superbly written and executed (Accept for Red Hulk. I'm of the same opinion as Nick Fury). Back to Pym. It has potential, I don't think it's a train wreck just yet, I think it'll do OK. Scott Lang's meant to be the Ant Man in the film anyway isn't he? As for the FF film? I lost interest when I heard the rumour Fox was looking for a woman to play Doom, it was in this thread I think. Just give the rights back to Marvel already before you tarnish the FF again! I still hate "Galactus" the fart cloud...

It's always great to see another Bricksetter over here, welcome to EB Capn!
