  1. Yes it's dark brown, and that's what is annoying me, a black one would've been perfect, but the new summer TMNT line will have black ones and I can replace it anytime.
  2. Here is my another review from the new Chima set line, this time I’ll be reviewing Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger (quite the alliteration), I hope you will enjoy it and helps you get a thorough view of the set. Set Information Set Number: 70132 Pieces: 434 Minifigures: 3 Price: £34.99 / US$39.99 / EUR 39.99 / 11990 HUF Age range: 8-14 Set Description Avoid the poison balls launched by Scorm’s Scorpion Stinger! Scorm, King of Scorpions, has stolen some CHI and the other tribes are determined to get it back. But first they must avoid the massive poisonous claws and mouth of Scorm’s speedy tri-wheel Scorpion Stinger. Help the armored tribal warriors Cragger and Laval to attack with their Scale Ripper and Shado Valious sword and steer clear of poison balls fired into their path. Beware of the Stinger’s flexible stinging tail jabbing down and escape with the CHI! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Scorm, and Laval and Cragger in their new armor. Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Scorm, and Laval and Cragger in their new armor Features huge poisonous claws, biting mouth, opening and closing cockpit, flexible stinger with poison ball launcher, 2 poison ball ammunition cases, scorpion detailing and all-terrain wheels Weapons include Laval’s Shado Valious sword, Cragger’s Scale Ripper and Scorm’s Korrodor Accessories include new armor for Cragger and Laval plus a shield for Laval Grab minifigures in the Scorpion Stinger’s mouth Stow poison balls in the special holder Fire poison balls from the high-powered stinger launcher Pick up tribal warriors with the poisonous claws Knock attackers flying with the flexible stinger Speed away with the CHI Take the weapons off the Stinger and use as hand guns Grab and launch the CHI grenades from Laval’s backpack Measures over 5" (15cm) high, 12" (32cm) long and 11" (30cm) wide Box The box is quite large as it is one of the bigger sets from the new wave. This being the europian version only shows the set number, name and the age range. As you can see the Chima logo is new with bright lime green color and red spikes. Usually in the upper right corner we see the actual hero of the set but here Scorm’s head is presented with a shadowy look. The box shows Cragger and Laval running against a giant Scorpion car (are they crazy?) that is going to roll over them. The background is a foggy jungle. The back of the box is showing us the play functions described in 6 languages and shown in three boxes. There is another image which shows that Laval and Cragger is not so crazy after all and they flee from the Scorpion Stinger. And there is a picture which informs us that we get 5 Zamor spheres. Finally in the upper right corner we can see a Chima online game ad. On the top of the box we can see the 3 minifigs and Laval is shown is real 1:1 size. Content We get 4 numbered and one unnumbered bag, a DSS and two Instrucion booklets. The unnumbered bag contains the claws, Chi tubes and the rear wheel. There are really killer stickers here, they look insanely awesome and certainly add to the overall look. Minifigs First let’s start with the star of the set; Scorm, king of scorpions. He has a very detailed body printing, which looks a bit like a persian noble’s robe. The gold and black color scheme is very nice. Here he is with his unigue armor which comes only in this set, it looks wonderful and looks more like an ancient emperor here. His head is only one sided and the same as the other Scorions’. He is finished with a beatifully printed headpiece and a stinger tail. Look at that! Scorm also gets two guns which are named the Korrodors, they look great but compared to the fig they are too big. Here he is with my other Scorpion, Scutter I’m so loving these Scorpion figures! Note that the print on the headpieces is different! Now let’s move on to Laval, he comes with new printing as well, which looks really beautiful. There are so many detail on these tiny figs. He comes with a two sided head but since it’s not new, forgive me that I haven’t phtographed it. Now here he is with tons of accessories, note that his sword comes in black only in this set. Finally we have the Croc prince Cragger who made peace with Laval and they are besties again. His only new parts are the legs, which now have amazingly done crocheadkneepads. His torso is identical to Laval’s. He has a very neat bow-gun thingy. I really love the figs in this set, they all have new prints (some of them new parts) and have super accessories. Build Bags spilled, check. rare parts, check. I also encountered a piece which I haven’t seen, but after a little search I found out that it can be found in a few other sets as well. Let’s get on to the build, after bag 1 we have a strong mostly technic base and the 3 minifigures. With bag 2 we started to cover it and the Scorpion Stinger started to take shape. After bag 3 we have the scorpion head on the front and the cockpit. With bag 4 finished we add the pieces from the unnumbered bag as well and the ride is completed, Ta-daa! here is a shot of the spare parts, there is a galore of cheese slopes. The build was pretty straightforward with minimal repetition, my only problem is with TLG’s usual put-the-piece-here-and-after-you-can’t-access-it-put-a-sticker-on-it method… Other than that it was a nice relaxing build, with a few interesting techniques. The Set itself The Scorpion Stinger is a very unusual design. A 3 wheeled scorpion car. The designers made a great job recreating a scorpion shape. The head is very effective with the red diamond used for eyes, it’s one of my favorite parts on the vehicle. Here is a backshot showing the claw-moving mechanism. You have to push the dark-red plates and it opens the claws, and if you release it it closes, in this picture you can also see that there is plenty room here so Scorm can fit here easily with his stinger tail. Behind the cockpit there is a CHI crystal which provides energy for the vehicle. Now let me show the claw-opening function. et voilá! You can also place Scorm’s guns on the front. And with him finally in the cockpit, we can go and hunt some lion and croc meat. The Zamor acid spheres are stored. Dinner is prepared. Om-nom-nom Rating and Summary When I first saw images of this set I though it looked really bad, with the big rear wheel and just the whole concept wasn’t working for me. Then I checked a video review and came to really like the play functions and I just cama to like the look as well. Now it’s one of my favourite Chima vehicles, I really like scorpions and this vehicle resembles a scorpion very well. And there are the wonderful figs with their great weapons and accessories. I only can recommend this set, a very unusual design, great figs, fun play-functions and a reasonable price. Price 10/10 I don’t want to complain I got th eset 15% cheaper and it was totally worth it Parts 9/10 Rare and new parts, lots of useful pieces in great colors. Build 9/10 It was a smooth, straightforward build, I was expecing a bit more complexity and there is my issue with the sticker adding steps that I stated above. Minifigures 10/10 High quality figs, one of them is unique to this set, the rest have new printing and cool weapons. Playability 10/10 Claw-opening mechanism, ball shooter tail, the stinger tail is poseable (if you miss a step on purpose which locks the tail), the car can eat the intruders and the two fractions can fight, also the vehicle is sturdy and swooshable. Thanks for reading the review, hope you had a good time.

    [MOC] Ice Planet 2002

    Wow I love them all, Ice Planet is one of my favourite Sci-fi themes from the old ones. The color scheme and the feeling was so loveable, and it has awfully few sets, it's great to see these MOC's they look like official vehicles, you really captured the buildign technique and aesthetics
  7. That is outstanding! The use of the Lion head for the beard and the face (which only a nose appearantly , but it's very creative) is very unique, and effective. The rest of the Figure is very well detailed, thanks for sharing this with us!

    [HSH] Cat A - Alien Cottage

    I'm almost cryed out loud, it is so scary but in a very cool way. It's awesome that you can do horror with Lego The details are incredibly "realistic", good luck on the contest!

    Kromikoma - Think Tank

    The trans red and chrome peices work really well, The whole construction is awesome, nicely done!
  13. *oh2* That just beats the original Metalbeard in every way, insane design and I really like the fully artiulated legs, great job man!
  14. Wow really cool video, You have a nice collection of vintage space sets The train is quite good, especially the remote controlled doors, the setup is a bit empty at some places, but it just leaves more potential to fill it Great job on the MOC and on the video as well.

    Legend Beast unlock cards---Help?

    The instructiosn write that you have to be at your outpost and open the build menu, then you have to click on the touch card icon and after that a card shape appears on the screen and you have to touch the card to that.

    Jabba Desilijic Tiure (AKA The Hutt)

    Yes this Jabba is similar with the game version, looks very cute and I like the black border around him.

    What are your Lego Star Wars collecting habits?

    I don't really have a SW buying habit. I don't have a big budget so I always choose carefully, but when something EU stuff appears I can't help myself, I'm kinda bored of re-releasing the same vehicles so the unusual EU designs are a real treat to me. I'm not saying the other sets are bad, but I wait a few years and I can get it again...

    Captain America - Star Spangled Man

    Wow there is so much great details, I mostly like how the shield is done, it immediately catches the eye, also Red Skull's car is the best I've seen, I really like your Cap MOC's, keep them coming

    MOC: Arkham Knight Batmobile

    It looks wicked! The tires are an odd chioce but they look grat on the Batmobile, and the details all over the car are awesome!
  20. I think he is a great choice but the bigger part may think he is not the most appropriate decision to make for a promo fig. The KoTOR universe is not that popular therefore being a special minifig he will not appeal to most LSW fans. Although it's strange that wookieepedia mentions Revan as a "he" because in the game you can choose the gender, also in the Old Republic game you encounter Revan and he appears to be a male character...

    REVIEW: 75040 General Grievous’ Wheel Bike

    Thanks for the review I quite like this set but I don't know if I should pass it up. The figs are great and the wheel-bike turned out very good, but that big part on the back which connects the 2 sides is very ugly.

    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    WARNING THERE MAY BE SPILERS AHEAD! I think he/she (I hope it's not a Spoiler because the game is more than 10 years old) is a fair choice, there is a lot going on outside the original trilogy and Revan was the most iconic character of the Old Republic era, and those who are familiar with the story of KoTOR are IMO eager to collect this minifig, not just because it's beautiful but because this character grew on everybody who played the first game. Also I think it's too conservative to always stay in the OT era, yes this is mostly an AFOL community and those people grew up with the releasing of OT, but the SW universe is far beyond that and KoTOR is a remarkable tale of it. Not that I would say no to an OT promo fig but TLG hasn't done anything innovative from that era a long time ago just releasing the same things with more up-to-date design.

    LEGO Star Wars 2014 Pictures and Rumors

    Oh my god, I just saw the Dearth Revan figure, I neeed it! It looks beautiful and I'm a huge fan of the KOTOR games, so it's a musthave for me He appears in one of the Flashpoint missions if I remember well, but I don't want to spoiler anything so that's all
