I do believe they are hiring, it's in one of the sections I think.
I got mine on Saturday, I'm very impressed. Nice quality, great info, very nicely structured, perhaps one or two things I'd change, but that would be overtly nitpicking, and a bit unfair too at this stage.
I'm looking forward to seeing this evolve.

I'm not sure myself about the new Doctor, I believe where eight episodes in, and from my memory, the first eight of Eccelston's, Tennent's, and Smith's where all, in my opinion, better than some of those aired so far (though I did love Listen). Still, I'm going to give the guy time.
One more thing, after watching the last episode, I'm getting more and more convinced this regeneration is what the Valeyard originated from.
EDIT:
In addition, I thought tonight's episode was fantastic, my guess as to who the woman is at the end of most episodes?
(don't read on if you don't want to find out)

I pretty much agree with everything that SMC has said, and others. I feel this is a fantastic site, and very well maintained, particularly with the amount of posts this place gets and the scope of different people who frequent here. There has been times when I've felt the MOD's could have dealt with things better, or have disagreed with a decision they've made, or haven't made. But to be honest, I don't believe I can add anything constructive to what others have said, plus, I'm no moderator, and have never been in my life, so I have no frame of reference, just an informed opinion based on current facts and events.
I'm very glad someone has started a topic like this.

I much prefer a picture review, because I can savour the pictures of the set. I don't have to pause or fast forward though the review to get to the part I want, and sometimes the video is poorly done (In the dark, being filmed on a carpet etc). But that's not to say I don't love some of the exceptional video reviews done with impeccable skill, not meaning to name drop, but I regularly and religiously watch just2good's, Jangbricks, and a few others Youtube videos.
-
You can't be serious. More exclusives, I hope they're released later on in different forms, if not I'll be seriously annoyed, like last year, and the year before...
-
Drawing and writing on a non professional basis, reading, lots of reading, watching a lot of TV, a bit of cooking, and a bit of amateur action figure customization. I used to love playing music though, and jogging.
-
Probably the same as many, space, in particular classic space, Blacktron, M-Tron, Ice-Planet, and Space Police, Wild West, Crusaders, Black Falcons, Black Knights, and Forestmen, and some more regular (i.e. non emergency, bike shop, or Pizza related) shops and services in the classic open back format for City.
Other than all that? I'd love Rock Raiders and/or Power Miners (or maybe, like one of KDog's comics, Rock Raiders Vs Power Miners!) to return, plus Johnny Thunder. So many good themes Lego have done, you don't quite realise how many there really is until you start naming them.
-
Very true, and thanks Sandy for the comment!
As mentioned in my first post, the price for the Storm head is quite excessive, last time I looked at least, and I'm living of microwaved baked beans as it is!
I have made a body, ala Nurse Chapel and the Yeoman in style, but the only way I could have posted a pic was if I used a blank dark skinned head. Uhura deserves more than that, so instead of posting a half done one, I'd thought I'd leave it, hence also why no group shots are present, unlike my other Trek crews I've posted.
I am in the process of acquiring a head, though, but it'll be a few months.
-
Dean Martin, though I listen to him all the time anyway, I find it particularly relaxing while building.
-
Understood, sorry to step out of line! I'll keep it to the PM facility from now on.
-
I'm glad you approve!
Ah, I know the ones! Great find!
I am. Let the battle commence, as it where!
All correct, damn, I'm going to have to try harder.
To answer:
- Leila and Spock, This Side Of Paradise
- KHAAANNN! (sorry, I couldn't resist), Space Seed
- Spock and T'Pring, Amok Time
Well, to be honest, yes and no, I plan on making maybe Nero, Ambassador Spock and John Harrison, in the future at some point, but beyond that, I'm afraid, no plans for anyone else from the Abrams universe.
I am planing on others from TNG and DS9 though (and of course TOS).
More quotes!
"I just think your behaviour is arrested"
"I ain't never been arrested in my whole life."
"I don't trust men who smile too much"
(This one's a hard one as it's not exactly a TOS quote. I've got to try to outwit you somehow, haven't I?
)"I was never that young"
"No, you were younger"
"Well, what do you know? I finally got the last word."
-
I concur, that Warpath is fantastic! Angel's great too.
-
Damn! I'm an idiot! I was watching Wrath Of Khan while posting, everything kind of got messed up in my head. "From hell's heart I stab at thee. For hates sake, I spit my last breath at thee."
Excellent, you'll have to tell me how good they are.
What size, may I ask, are they?
To answer your quotes:
Mudd's wife, Stella Mudd I think, and Mudd (I, Mudd)
Kirk (The Search For Spock)
Kirk and Bones (The trouble with tribbles)
Samuel T Cogley (Court Martial)
Are you challenging me, to a duel, my friend?
Oh well, what the hell, more quotes!
"Even historians... fail to learn from history. They repeat the same mistakes."
"Well, you, you people certainly have interesting problems. I'd, uh... I'd love to stay around to see how your girlfriend works out, but..."
"I said get back to your station."
"No, sir."
"This is mutiny, mister."
"Yes, sir. It is."
"Well, maybe that's okay for someone like you, whose career is winding down. But me, I need some excitement, some adventure... maybe even just a surprise or two."
-
Very nice Chang torso, great work! Very nice gold detailing on his chest for his sash. Him, along with Khan and Dukat, are some of my favourite villains from Trek. Who's next, might I enquire?
-
Well, I started building, rather than planning yesterday. To quote Captain Sisko, "There comes a time in every man's life when he must stop thinking and start doing". I can post a small teaser, if you like. I've got a few things going on but this, project, has taken priority. It'll perhaps be the end of July/start of August, but it will be done, I hope.
Hahaha, I'm going to have to go out and buy him now!
I was impressed by the special effects they've done for Gothos, the electrical storms etc. I've got the entirety of TOS re-mastered recorded, but it's been a good while since I'd seen Gothos. And Arena was as good as always, just a shame us fans never get a good look at the Gorn ship in the episode.
Correct again! You're giving me a run for my money, as it where.
To answer:
Saavik (Wrath of Khan)
Abraham Lincoln (The Savage Curtain)
Dr M'Benga (A Private Little War, I think?)
And my last batch of quotes, I may add more in a reply though! (Mwhahahaha!)
"You are a superior being. Why do you not command?"
"Still up to your little game of replicas? Which are you this time, real or not?
"You are evidently a suicidal maniac."
"I do not "make off" with things. My need gave me the right to use the ship. Mark the word, sir - the "use" of it."
"You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon."
"taH pagh, taH be?"
I'll go and have a look!
-
I like the mutant gang member at the far back behind Ventriloquist and Scar face. Nice find!
-
Well, I am working on something, but it may not be "big". It requires quite a few parts, and I've had to work three more hours the last month or so at work, hence partly why I've been so quiet. Sounds good, I'm thinking of painting that cat instead of the older version. Maybe both....
Right on all counts!
Just to clear possible confusion up, the Space Port's one for my City, a stone knives and bear skins port compared to TOS. Still, if your interested, just say and I'll fire a PM out to inform you when it's up.
My guesses:
- Horta
- Colonel Green, WW3 mass murderer (I'm actually reading a pretty interesting TOS/TNG/DS9/ENT short story with him in at the moment)
- Kirk and Yarnek, the Excalbian (not sure I've got that spelling correct)
- Sybok? Been awhile since I saw Final Frontier
Thanks for that, are you watching the Galileo Seven that's on now?
May I test your knowledge once more? More ideas from my note book:
"Constantinople, Summer 1334. It marched through the streets, the sewers. It left the city by oxcart, by sea, to kill half of Europe. The rats, rustling and squealing in the night as they, too, died. The rats... "
"You, Captain Kirk, the disobedience was on your orders. Yours is the responsibility. Yours shall be the pattern of your death."
(A harder one) "My first impression WAS correct - you ARE a barbarian."
"He's a fool. A fool! He'd seen those points and he hadn't noticed their condition."
"How do you know?"
"The image of what he'd seen was still in his mind."
(An easy one) "I'm Captain Kirk. I'm Captain Kirk!!!"
-
Thanks!! And sorry for the belated reply.
Rinzler, I am impressed by your TOS quote knowledge! You are correct, though I'm more looking at Rojan than Tomar in regard to the Kelvan's. My printers bust, it's been that sort of week(s), so I just grabbed what I could find to take the pics.
A further test of your quote knowledge! These aren't set in stone, as it were, but just a few (highly likely) ideas for the future:
"Approach me!"
"We're busy!"
"Kracko's put the bag on your Captain."
"Why would he put a bag on the Captain?"
"Kidnapped him, you dope."
"Threats are illogical, and payment is usually expensive."
"[anguished] Don't you think I know that? There was, but not anymore! They called me; they BEGGED me for help, four hundred of them! I couldn't... I-I couldn't..."
"THAT was the equation. EXISTENCE!... SURVIVAL... must cancel out... programming!"
Oh, and I did this earlier. It certainly could be better, and it needs a black cat, but,
"Mrrrwhhhmmm."
"Yes, thank you. I know how to open it."
Enjoy!

I love this! The ice effect in particular is suitably impressive, and I like the Terminator running around, throwing people around, outside the Bar.
-
The rarest fig I can see is the old Peter Parker torso (I think...) from the Studios line.
-
Checked 5 stores thus far with no luck, though I've still got three stores to go! Glad it sounds good.
-
Thanks Rinzler for your kind words. I hadn't considered that hair, I ended up with a whole load of collectable minifig Computer Programmers (12 by my last count, I'll be running NASA next with all those), that use the same hair, so I'll give that a try!
Khan was a complete fluke, I was looking for a blank red torso while digging through a tub of spares and thought, damn, that's pretty close! Ironically, it's a Star Wars torso.
I'm also trying to get this hair (on this guy: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw577) for Khan, very accurate though no doubt expensive.
An upcoming remake picture is coming using Gary Seven and a Space Port set...
You would be correct! A couple of other quotes from people or episodes with characters in that I intend to make:
"What is it?"
It's,
[looks for a label]
uh,
[looks under the bottle; sniffs it]
... It's green."
"Men no longer need die in space or on some alien world! Men can live and go on to achieve greater things than fact-finding and dying for galactic space, which is neither ours to give or to take!"
"That Earth outpost send word to an Earth vessel, now it follows."
"Which neither retreats nor grows near, which turns as we turn. Commander, it is our judgment that we run from a reflection."
"Perhaps so, but my judgment prevails."

I stayed up till 5 in the morning watching TV, sorted 500 trading cards, ate lunch, and bought a new coat (I ripped the arm off the last one).

That was touched upon in the Spiderman series in the early 2000's. Most of Spidey's villains are totem's, Rhino, Lizard, Octopus, Beetle, Tarantula, Fly, Jackal, Kangaroo, Wolf, Bat, Scorpion, Vulture etc. In the same light a lot of Cap's villains are anti freedom (Red Skull, Flag smasher, Arim Zola, Hydra, Zemo etc) or Iron Man's tech based (Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, the Raiders etc), or something like that. I'll have to check.
Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

I was going to buy the Hulkbuster for £7, then I saw I could get a set of Iron Man's and the Hulkbuster for £13, nicely packaged too, and well, I bought it. No idea if anyone's posted pictures, as I'm in a more or less Lego community dark age, still, in the event anyone want's to see some pictures, here you go!
He can pick up official Lego figures too, so even your smaller Hulk (if you have one) isn't safe
And my set of Iron Men (excuse my desk intruding on the picture)
Overall, unbelievably impressed. I've been saying I'll buy some of these folk for ages, to harvest the parts for my own creations, but I'm more likely now to just swap the heads, arms, and legs (where applicable) with the real stuff, or even leave them as they are (in the case of the original suit and black/gold/white suits). And the Hulkbuster...that's what sold me on all this. A fantastic, fantastic figure, well worth any sort of money, and even elbow joints! A great surprise.
