Longtooth has a secret retreat. A hidden place where he builds and upgrades his speedor. It is deep in a maze of ruins and passageways, and only he knows the way in. (LoC) Longtooth's retreat by SteampunkDoc, on Flickr Racing and fighting is hard on speedorz, so this is the place where Longtooth keeps his ready for action. He also keeps a variety of weapons and tools on hand, should the need to use them arise.

Seems that I forgot to turn on one of my lamps. Hope you enjoy it, and I hope I didn't butcher the Chima story line too much with this. And as always, there are a lot more pictures in my photostream. Comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated! SteampunkDoc

Thanks! This actually combines some of my favorite techniques and parts to get that effect. The "Brick" bricks, the dark tan plates used as bricks, the 2X2 round bricks, and the cool landscaping. Cool, what a coincidence! I'm glad you like the lighting, although I feel that it could have been much better. And I'd love to see e'm. It would make a great MOC series. Well, if Lego would send me a free eagle speedor then I sure would. This came out of the free set that I was sent, and it's the only Chima thing I own, so the only other tribe I could do right now would be the wolves. I'm glad ya'll like it! That encourages me a lot, and may indirectly result in more vignettes down the road.

Mini Long sword does. As does the Mini Short sword, the Pirate sword, the Ninja sword and every other sword that I tried with the exceptions of 48495 and 88288. (And the obvious ones like the troll sword.) Even the Broadswords/Battleswords worked with a teeny-tiny bit of wiggling. (Although that will probably rub off the chrome after a little while.) And yes, I just tested all of them for you.

Looks pretty sweet. A lot better than that thirty-second one we got earlier. May have to take a look at this once it starts airing. Wasp may be in the Ant-Man movie, or at least she'd better be in it.

Good job Fithboy! This seems like a darker interpretation overall, as the floor is trans-black and not clear, it's lacking any of the green glowing things, and the console is black as opposed to gold. The Battledroid arms are an interesting take on the supports, and your scanner looks great. The floor looks good, but it seems you ran out of dishes when it came to the upper wall. But it's still a pretty good MOC! Eleven's TARDIS has a unique design that's nearly impossible to mimic in Lego, and I'd say this is one of the closest ones that I've seen. DraikNove, This is the only other picture,and I too wish for a few more highlighting the details.

Well, I said I'd post 'em, so here they is. All eleven incarnations of The Doctor, all purist, and all-most all totally 'fantastic!' Group shot, they all look quite brilliant together, wouldn't you say? First through Third Doctors, can't say I like this first period of Who stories, but there are quite a number who do. The Third Doctor's fairly good though. 1: By far my weakest design, but all the good torsos for him are from the Harry Potter line which I didn't collect. 2: This one is pretty cool, just wish the head had a bit more of a smile. 3: Uses too many Balin parts, but other than that it's fairly cool. Fourth through Sixth, Four has some nice stories, Five had terrible companions, and I haven't seen much of Six. Just barely enough to say he's not as bad as they say. Oh, and "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" 4: It's a fair design, but prints with scarfs are few and far between. This is one of the more mediocre figures in my opinion. 5: I like this one, but again, while it's not that accurate to his looks, it seems to capture the right essence. 6: Meh, an ok design for this doctor. That's pretty much the only torso for him, but the rest just seems too plain. Seven and Eight, Seven is cool. Eight only got the one movie, but delivered an entertaining performance nevertheless. Still, it was a 90's movie, so it's not that great. 7: Interesting design, love the head, but the torso is a bit off. Tried the umbrella as you can see, but can't say I like it. 8: I really like this design. The torso/leg set is amazing, and the head/hair combo looks great. And now to Modern Who, which is in my opinion, the best of the best. (Except 'Love and Monsters') Nine left way too soon, but was excellent, Ten was great, and Eleven is my favorite. 9: The leather jacket is perfect, but this is a fairly simple design. Probably should have used the normal Lex head, but that was tied up on a different minifigure. 10: Again, quite simple build, no rare parts or anything. Please don't ask why only he gets a Sonic. And if only Lego made an overcoat... 11: Yes, Fezzes are cool, and so are bowties. Can't say I love the hair and head, but they're the best choices out there. Yet again, a pre-existing torso is perfect. There you go! Questions and comments are welcome, thanks for looking! Sorry for the poor pictures, that's the best I can do with my webcam right now.

Here is the Fourth Doctor's TARDIS interior. Complete with K-9 and a bag of Jelly Babies. The design stayed fairly the same throughout the 70's and 80's, and only went through minor modifications until it was replaced in the TV Movie of 1996. The mix of old and new grays is due to lack of parts in the same color, and sadly couldn't be avoided. The console itself was fun to design, and went through several versions before I settled on this one. The angled walls were also 'fun', but in a slightly different way. Still, the final look was worth the effort. The walls are made with 1X4 arches and 2X2 Inverted disks. And they do in fact have a tendency to fall out as the space isn't that tight. As always, more pictures can be found via the links to my photostream.

Thanks everyone! I'm surprised the "Tin Dog" has somewhat stolen the show, as I only built him as an afterthought. The detailing was fun to work out, so I'm glad ya'll think it matches well with the real thing. Oh, and LightningTiger, you mean a "Sonic Screwdriver" right? 'Cuz I've never heard of an "Ultrasonic Screwdriver."

Nightmare in Sliver I truly have no idea what to say about this one. It felt a bit all over the place, and didn't ever settle down into one story/style/tone. It's certainly better than Closing Time, but it it just doesn't quite work. The new Cybermen aren't as scary as they were hyped up to be, and while some of the new features work (Head turning around, The Cybermites.) others are either over-powered or unnessecary. ("Upgrade in progress", detachable hand/head, super-speed.) I liked the creepy "Pick off the defenders one by one using stealth" idea, but the inclusion of extra gimmicks wasn't always that great. The Super-speed was a one-off power that either should have been ditched, or used later. If they have such a weapon, why not use it more? I never saw what was so wrong about the Cybusmen's slow and stomping ways. It gave a sweet "You can run, but we're still coming and there's nothing you can do about it" feel. While it's a neat looking re-design, no mention of Mondas was made, and they really weren't the main antagonist. Matt Smith was amazing in this episode. Great acting, great flip-flopping between personalities, and I love all of the references to his past. As another reviewer pointed out, the Cyber-Doctor was far from a emotion-less Cyberman like personality but the performance was so good I never even thought about that in the episode. It was nice to see Clara take charge, and the confidence The Doctor showed in her has certainly developed over the series. Porridge was great, and while the twist at the end was unexpected, it was a bit too fast and out of the blue for me. And his proposal was equally so. The kids were not needed, and didn't even add the "Child-like wonder and excitement" that they should have. The girl just complained about everything, and the boy wasn't hardly featured at all. The Captain was just a jerk, and I was glad to see her go, and the rest were left undeveloped. While it was a mildly clever episode, it just doesn't stand out. It was all over the place, and the Cybermen were once again not really the main focus. And really, they haven't been since Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel. We need another good CYBERMEN story, not just another story that happens to have the Cybermen. Sadly no more hints at Clara's mystery, and it seems like this could fit just about anywhere in the timeline of Series 7b. At least the next episode looks fantastic!

I think the right term would be "Shrunk" not "Shrinked," but the only thing that really matters here are those great MOCs. I thought the Exo-Force theme was a bit odd, but got a mech or two anyway and loved 'em. These are undoubtedly fantastic models on their own, and doubly amazing for getting all those recognizable features packed down into a smaller size. The smaller ones have a more chunky cute look to them, and Ha-Ya-To's Flyer is probably my favorite. Stealth Hunter is the best big one, but that's a hotly contested place, as they're all great models. You asked for any requests, so I'd like to see 8102 Blade Titan done in mini-scale. If it's not too much trouble of course.

OK, I'm assuming that this is the right place to ask this. I was looking at the "LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite" and noticed something odd. The DVD version has one disk, while the Blu-Ray has three. Sure, one Blu-Ray, one DVD, but what's on the other one? No bonus features are listed (Even though I believe the five winning entries from the Tongal contest will be included.) So, does anybody know if the Tongal videos are even on it, and if so, are they on that third disk and not in the DVD only set, or what? And if not, what could be on said third disk? UltraViolet is a download, and not another physical format, so it can't be that. Thanks!

Now that is pretty cool! Great job thinking this up, it looks good, and is a neat DIY project.

Yeah, except it's not on the PC version... I'm hoping that it's an oversight that will soon be fixed, but if not, I won't be pre-ordering. May not even get the game then....Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Put the '/' at the front of the last spoiler tag. Then you've got it.

Whoa, maybe I should give it a look. I was under the impression that it was an very insider type deal as well, so never bothered to check. My biggest problem is that I just don't have the bricks to compete. Not only are my building skills leagues below these, but the space and bricks needed are just out of my reach. Even those challenge one MOCs outclass me, so there's not any reason to get involved. This sounds bad, but I don't want to enter if I'm loosing every time. Plus, I'm not creative enough to come up with a cool story.

What's this? Doctor Who mid-season, gearing up for the finale, and the last post was a whole month ago? Here, these reviews should create some nice discussion, if nothing else. Cold War: I do really see the similarities to “Dalek”, but it’s still different enough to not feel recycled. Problem is, not all the differences/changes are good. The captain seems to bounce between trusting and not trusting the Doctor, but then practically became his best friend by the end. And um, where was that Barbie in the last episode? Clara seems to have taken to this adventuring thing too quickly, and doesn’t exhibit the wonder and amazement that she should. There has got to be a better way to deal with the TARDIS , and really, it didn’t need to be inaccessible. The threat to all of humanity should have been enough to keep The Doctor from leaving. The CGI creature is worse than usual, but at least it’s covered by smoke. The creature’s arms look interesting, but it’s a shame we never see the whole thing. It’s also bad since the suit is so great, to see the rest fail like that. Didn’t see that ending twist coming, but truthfully the Martians didn’t do anything but solve all the problems just in time. Deus ex machina big time. While we see Mr. Icee’s hands all over people’s faces, we never actually see him take out a foe, which would have added greatly to making him feel more threatening. (And is precisely the reason the Dalek was scary.) It was a nice episode, but as one other reviewer pointed out, Clara doesn’t do much, and it’s got a fair number of filler scenes, and Skaldak seems won over to the side of peace too easily. I didn’t feel much tension/suspense while watching it, and while it’ll be a good one to come back and watch again, it just doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Hide: Two minutes in, and it’s already scary. It’s off to a great start, and trust me, things do really continue that way. I like how It just jumps right into the story, and doesn’t bother with how they got there and why they came. It gives the story more time to develop, and that stuff is explained later once things settle down. The candle is a brilliant idea, and gives off a nice scary feel. I like the returning spacesuit, and the umbrella, and really, just about all the stuff referencing old Doctors/episodes. The pocket universe stuff is a great concept, as is the time travelling montage. "It isn’t a ghost story, it’s a love story." –Interesting quote, interesting twist. I really like the episode. It’s got scares, it’s got action, it’s got timey-wimey stuff, what’s there not to like? The twist at the end with the girl and the psychic being related was great, but the romance was just a bit heavy-handed, and the ending felt cut off. The “Crooked Man” was a great monster, and while the one in the mansion is not explained at all, the tension created by the quick glimpses was a great way to do things. Also, hurrah for prosthetics! No flaws stood out to me in this one, which is a great relief. I was able to just sit back and enjoy the amazingness of Doctor Who without worrying about some silly detail. The Crimson Horror- I wasn’t sure what to think going into this, as I’m not a fan of the Gang. I like Strax, being a nice and violent companion. But the other two aren’t special, and even if they do get a spin-off, I probably wouldn’t watch it, and will be glad when they leave the main show. They all seem like one-trick ponies, and there’s just not enough depth to them to do much. They were great in Series 6, the Christmas special was stretching things, and this was lessened IMHO by their presence. Stupid fainting guy, you have lost any respect I may have had for you. And that wasn't even funny the first time. Doctor? Ok, that was a bit odd. Kinda hate seeing him that way, but at least he got healed up quickly. I don’t care for the grainy flashback format, but at least it ended soon enough. And 'Tom-Tom,' I love it! “Sontar-ha!” Strax was an entertaining part off the episode, but the humor didn't fit in well, and it's his only memorable trait. It seems like The Doctor hardly did anything this episode, and that Jenny, Vastra and Strax could have done everything themselves. The Doctor was conveniently captured, changed, and changed back just to fit the plot, and Clara came to no harm at all. The treatment, for being so horrible, was too easily solved, and to tell the truth I felt that the last few scenes in Yorkshire weren’t that great. The real ending in the modern day however, was greatly entertaining, and touches on something that few others have. The ability to track time traveler’s movements around in history books. Also, Clara's surprise should lead to The Doctor being asked some awkward questions. Can't wait to see that finally happen. The Gang did most of the work, but to tell the truth, it seemed like the main role was split up so much that only Jenny did much of significance. Strax was shoved out of the way and only returned for comic relief, and Vastra just stood around a lot. This is probably my least favorite episode of this series, as it felt all over the place, and just didn’t work for me. The evil plot was shut down quite easily, the blind girl had a predicable secret, the monster was just a cute spiky red thing, and the villain didn’t seem capable of pulling it all off by herself. Ada was the main bright spot, but her character isn’t worth the rest of the show. Also, The Doctor does everthing possible to save a deadly Ice Warrior, but doesn’t really care about a slug. Not even an annoyed “No, Ada….Don’t…Noooo….” Doctor-lite episodes have a tendency to not do well, (Other than Blink) and this one follows the pattern. Well, this one really isn’t either side of the coin. It’s more like a Spin-off pilot than anything, which brings me to my last point….Just get the Paternoster Gang out of Who, I don’t care if they’re dropped, or giving a spin-off, or what, just get them out. After reading some other reviews, one last thing arose. The episode took itself too seriously. Had it been made with a camp-y tone, some of the issues would have been less severe. As is, the horror/gore just clashed a lot with the more absurd moments.

Bahahaha! Thanks '1974', that post is great! Can't wait to see what happens when the rants get to brown Lando, or *Gasp* Fleshies. I've been coming here for laughs, and that post was the best one yet. But I'd love to see somebody try to top it.

76007 Iron Man™: Malibu Mansion Attack 79004 Barrel Escape 76009 Superman™: Black Zero Escape And then it added: LEGO® Star Wars™ May the 4th Be With You Poster LEGO® Star Wars™ Han Solo™ (Hoth™) Even though I didn't order anything Star Wars-y. Not that I'm complaining. Looking at my order history, the last time I did one from Lego.com was nearly a year ago. Shows how much I like Amazon.com I guess.

Well, saw Iron Man 3, and for all of Lego's flaws in adapting it, the sets actually make sense in one aspect. Of course, they got the Speedboat and Showdown sets all wrong, but hey, could be worse. Sadly, I'm not really drawn to the sets (Post-viewing) like I thought I would be. Usually after watching a movie I really wanna get whatever sets are out for it, but not this time. And on another subject, does anybody know if the PC version of the Marvel game comes with IP? I heard only "Console" versions do, and I'm not sure what category the PC falls into. Sure, That armor never did anything productive ...but it's still a really cool design that I'd like to own.

IRON MAN MARATHON Iron Man- Great, as ever. Sadly this Ten Rings organization seems to have little to do with the one in IM3. I've seen it several times, so there weren't any surprises, but it was my first time watching it in a theater, so that was nice. Iron Man 2- Good, this one seconds the sentiment directly above, but it was still quite enjoyable. Ending's still a bit quick, but whatever. Avengers- This is like a love-letter to geeks, and is still fantastic after so many viewings. The 3D seemed better than last time I watched it, and it's a bit low in the plot department, but hey, it's the Avengers, who cares? Probably my favorite of this bunch, but that may be due to the other heroes, a more developed ending, and no major plot complaints. Iron Man 3- Beware of major spoilers! If I can sum it up in one sentence, it's this: "Think Dark Knight Rises, minus the plot holes, but adding more plot developments that I don't like." I can't say I was really let down, as that wouldn't be the truth. It's a fine movie and all....But it's not that re-watchable IMHO. (Similar scenario to TDKR.) So, there you go. Can't say I hated it, or really loved it either. It was good, but had some really annoying stuff. I'd probably not watch it again for a while, and would need a good reason to do so. It's a great one timer, and any Marvel/MCU/Superhero fan should watch it once, but unlike all the other MCU films, there's no need to take it for a second go. Which is really sad to tell the truth, as I was really hyped for this, and it just didn't deliver. And it also created a LOT of problems for the rest of the coming films. I don't want to dis-like this film, so feel free to try and persuade me other-wise. I would love to really adore this film, but I just can't. Sorry guys. And I can really see just how horrible of a job Lego did at picking scenes to make sets out of. Malibu is fine, but the others....

IP being a Wal-mart exclusive is not that bad, just imagine if he were a Comic-con exclusive. And just to throw out an observation, but the CGI render is a bit odd. Usually Lego has either real pictures, or photo-realistic renders, but all it takes is one glance to tell that it's CGI. It's strange that TLG is breaking the trend with these last two ploy-bags, as Jor-El's lacks the character in the top-right, and IP is an obvious render. Anybody got any theories why that's so? IP has sealed my pre-ordering the game, but it's strange that they're doing two different physical bonuses this time around. But as a word of review, the figure looks gorgeous, and I can't wait to get my hands on him.
