LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3 discussion
dieselboy m replied to Klaus-Dieter's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Hey all, my apologies if these have been reviewed to death here already, but I just got eight packs and have posted a review video. So, if anyone's interested... Thanks. :) -
In the e-mail ad, there's a line "Get Stuck On LEGO Star Wars May 3rd and 4th!" I wonder if that's just for the magnets, or a teaser something else.

Congrats on the Brute Chopper, it's definitely a great set, one of my favs from the line. Now... I have almost every set from the first series, and some from the second, and I swore to myself I'd produce reviews of them. Unfortunately, aside from the Limited Edition Steel Spartan, I have reviewed none of them... I'll TRY to get around to them some day. Hehe...

A case of them are on pre-sale at Entertainmentearth.com - http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo...?number=LG8683A

Why do people buy new sets and never open them?
dieselboy m replied to Ambo100's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm 32, with just a part time job, a long distance girlfriend and no kids. You'd think I'd have all the time in the world to build my sets, but they still somehow pile up. Probably partly 'cause I've got about a billion hobbies and special interests, and I usually aim to make reviews of the toys I buy. But, I procrastinate on those a lot 'cause making reviews takes quite a bit of time and effort. -
Check it out!

Review: Dino Attack 7475 Fire Hammer vs. Mutant Lizards

Check it out here - -
I bought one at a LEGO Store here in Southern California last week. Among all the random pieces was four of the Max minifigs. For me, that was already worth the 8 bucks.

[UK] More free Lego from Mirror Newspaper (Racers theme)
dieselboy m replied to Big Pete's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Yeah, those two stood out me instantly, I have them. They were the seasonal Impulse sets at Target during Christmas. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures General Discussion
dieselboy m replied to Nabii's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I'm drooling, I'm drooling... -
Thanks for giving us an early look, can't wait! And I've also been wondering the same thing, has there been any confirmation as to whether these will be sold at mass retail or exclusive to LEGO Stores?

Review: Fairy Minifig Key Chain
dieselboy m replied to dieselboy m's topic in General LEGO Discussion
After removing the pin, just the head and hair piece is removable. The legs, I believe, are glued on. I didn't want to risk ruining it, so I didn't try to pry them off. Yeah, I think it's TLG's miscellaneous title for the key chains. I've seen some others in the past with the Classic title that also weren't previously seen (or even later released). Yeah, I'd want a new Paradisa as much as anyone else, but I also doubt this key chain would be indicative of any forthcoming girl-oriented themes. This isn't the first of its kind, and it won't be the last. There have been other key chain minifigs that were unique and not from a previous theme (or released in a theme later on). So, take 'em for what they are, I say... And at least we've got the Collectible Minifig Collection to look forward to. You definitely should. -
BrickArms Modern Combat Pack Photo Review, Commentary & Real Steel
dieselboy m posted a topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Hey guys and gals, just recently got the BrickArms Modern Combat pack and made a review where I show 'em off and give comparisons to the real guns they're based on. Please check it out, thanks! -
BrickArms Modern Combat Pack Photo Review, Commentary & Real Steel
dieselboy m replied to dieselboy m's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Thanks for the feedback, all, I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. And yeah, I don't know if anyone has previously provided side by side comparisons of BrickArms with the real guns, but being a bit of a gun enthusiast it's something I like to do and thought I'd put it out there for others to see in case they'd take interest to it. Thanks a lot! To be honest, I always feel awkward talking into the mic. But, I've really taking a liking to making video reviews as opposed to just written reviews. A bit of entertainment value there. Although, I choose to still use photos as opposed to straight video so that you can see the products in better detail and light than if it were just video. I get what you're saying about the brickish feel. Some BrickArms look more like they could pass as an official LEGO accessory, whereas some are too detailed or too close to realistic proportions. Thanks! Well, as much as I love BrickArms, the way I look at it is, for the most part, you do have to be a fan of guns to be a fan of BrickArms (at least the majority of BrickArms that are based on real firearms). Otherwise, I'd imagine one would be content with the gun offerings from TLG for their LEGO gun needs. Either that, or one is a LEGO purist, so even with an interest in guns, they wouldn't be inclined to use BrickArms. But, I would definitely recommend giving them a try, I can't imagine you'd be disappointed. -
Spotted these while at Toys R Us today. I picked up the Iron Man Mark IV set, will shoot a review shortly.

Caught this on Attack Of The Show. Weirdly interesting...

BrickArms Modern Combat Pack Photo Review, Commentary & Real Steel
dieselboy m replied to dieselboy m's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Thank you very much, LuxorV. I actually didn't know that could be done. Glad you like the review though. I'm not new to BrickArms, but it is my first time reviewing some BrickArms pieces. I was just so impressed with the set. I also just got my Army Men Weapon pack which I'll be reviewing soon, as well as a few assorted BrickForge pieces. -
Review; Lego Club Magazine March-April 2010
dieselboy m replied to VBBN's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Mine's in 3-D as well. Sure it ain't much, but it is free after all. Then again, even Brickmaster is pretty lean for the price. -
Ya know, I mostly just lurk here, but I've noticed exactly that. I pretty much just ignore those discussions 'cause I really don't care. I'm gonna like what I like, I really don't care about the difference in quality. Besides, it's LEGO, what may be considered lower quality is still high quality LEGO product in my opinion. Anyway, regarding Max, I've got one of the key chains, will have a review up shortly (similar to my fairy key chain review).
-
I say go with what you want. Don't limit yourself to just select themes. If you like something from another theme, get it and enjoy it. :)
-
Yeah, I'd have gotten them just because of what a cool find they are, wouldn't care what they're worth.

Review: Fairy Minifig Key Chain
dieselboy m replied to dieselboy m's topic in General LEGO Discussion
She is beautiful, was quite surprised when I first saw her. And thanks, my reviews are so dry, I have to add some humor at the end. ;) Totally. And I kinda feel like with all the extras, you're getting a minifig and then some. But, I know some of the other minifig key chains have extras, but I guess it just seems different since the wings and dress are so uncommon. You're right. When I saw the rear print of the fairy I knew it was the same as the front print of the Admiral's Daughter and assumed that the front print of the fairy was the same as the rear print of the Admiral's Daughter. But, I checked it just now, and the fairy's front print is indeed unique. :) -
Review: Fairy Minifig Key Chain
dieselboy m replied to dieselboy m's topic in General LEGO Discussion
The torso color with that print may be unique to the fairy so far, but that exact same torso print is on the Admiral's Daughter minifig from the Brickbeard's Bounty set. Although on the fairy, it's on backward. -
BrickArms Army Men Pack Now Available
dieselboy m replied to the enigma that is badger's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Yes, I've got a set on the way. Can't wait to try 'em out, will definitely post a review.
