Yeah, it is sort of disheartening to see them marked-down so quickly. I was sort of hoping they'd spin that theming off into a regular series. I'm still not sure if the sets are worth full price. I've been building Space Skulls on and off this whole week and haven't gotten very much done. Haven't even popped the seals on Star Justice yet.

Well damn...now on US Shop At Home they're $70 each. If I'd have waited six weeks I coulda saved myself $60

HAW! That's probably the best minifig SPARTAN I've ever seen. I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat. Sort of gives me an idea as to what an actual LEGO Halo line would look like.

That's a nice Venator-class ship...but it's got to be a custom...no stickers Sure wouldn't mind shelling out another $300 for a UCS scale ship like that though.

...oh lord I hope you're just yanking our chains...

This all seems familiar somehow...

Wasted bandwidth in here defending Megabloks. The level of LEGO brand-loyalty is astounding. So much so that, for some members, it has morphed into irredeemable brand-snobbery. Even mentioning Megabloks as something other then Bricks from Hell will get you marginalized as some sort of perverted kook around these parts. Which, in the long run, is a positive for Megabok enjoyers. That just makes it easier to find good stuff on the shelves, like the forthcoming Probuilder Leopard II tank I won't even try to defend the "Megafigs" though. They actually are garbage

Awwww...I was duped by the topic title Seriously though...it's amazing how just the small inclusion of the bazooka makes that a hundred times more sinister

What you can do is suggest a title for someone else that you want yourself...in a fit of poetic justice the Mods will assign you the title you wanted to stick onto some poor schmuck... <--------- Thusly

God I hope so...I need a new sig image I kind of like the newer style of manual. I recently rebuilt some of my older sets and damned if I didn't miss quite a few parts because I didn't notice them added to a certain step. But I totally see them getting way out of hand if they continue any further. The no-mix-bad-grass page is a little annoying, and I'm starting to fill my file cabinet up with the newer instructions. Especially since even $40 sets now come with 2 books

I'll just name my kid Stud So...wait...don't they have to write the kid's name as LEGO? And what happens when other people name their kids that...can we not refer to them a LEGOs?

Harley & Mistah J. I want to preface my review by admitting that I’m an unrepentant Harley Quinn fanboy. I’ve been enamored with the character since she first appeared in Batman: The Animated Series back in the 90’s, and I’ve since followed her misadventures through her introduction into the regular Batman series during No Man’s Land, into her own series, and even on the short-lived and not-so-good Birds of Prey TV show. So please excuse any pro-Harley bias. So, down to business. The 267 piece set retails for $30 US ($35 at Toys R Us) and builds up very fast and easy. It consists of Batman’s Bat Cycle, Harley’s Hammer Truck, and brand new Batman and Harley Quinn Minifigs. There is also no lack of weapons. In addition to the usual bag of Bat-accessories and guns, the set also comes with a pair of gray revolvers. Batman in this set has the new “armor” torso print and the hips are the same color as the legs, hinting that this is supposed to represent the movie style Batsuits more so then the traditional comic book “underwear over tights” look. Harley Quinn is a very cool looking Minifig, and I haven’t grinned so much at a new Batman character figure since my first Batman Minifig a couple years ago. The figure is very true to the character, and the torso has been accented with a few shape lines to try and distinguish her as a female despite the boxy body. Harley’s jester cap is an interesting new piece. It seems (to me at least) to be made of a slightly different grade of plastic then we’re used to. It’s molded in red and painted with black and white, and it comes packed in its own separate little baggie. I expect that this piece may have cost LEGO a little more then usual to produce. Harley also has a buildable accessory, a giant mallet. Sure, she can’t stand up all that well unless it’s held in specific ways, but it’s neat and most importantly, it’s funny. It’s especially fun for smacking the everloving crap out of other Minifigs with. The Bat Cycle is in bag number one and is a very fast build. This isn’t some little Japanese sport bike like Nightwing’s cycle. This monster is almost a car and seems to pack just the right amount of intimidation for the Caped Crusader to exploit. Thanks to the thick tires (two in front, one in back) it stands up just fine on its own and rolls very well. The huge exhaust pipes are a nice touch and give the thing a look of engine power. The only real flaw is the inclusion of the flick-fire missiles mounted on the sides. But, as with any LEGO model, they can be easily left out without hurting the look of the vehicle. The hammer truck is the bulk of this set and a lot more fun then it looks. Of the monster truck persuasion, the vehicle is designed and built with a surprising level of solidity. The axle mounts are particularly impressive. The big wheels and tires just beg you to drive this thing right over the Bat Cycle (or Batman). The mega-mallet gimmick is also a surprise. Not so much for its technical complexity, there isn’t any really, but for the fact that once you start turning the knob at the rear to swing the mallet back and forth, it’s really a lot of fun. There are some low points to the truck design. Again the flick-fire missiles are tacked on and there’s a cargo crate/bed set into the back for Harley’s loot of jewels. The crate would have looked a lot better molded in black. In brown it breaks up the look of the truck a little. Speaking of which, the look of the truck is very pleasing. The red and black Harley Quinn color scheme works really well on the vehicle. There are a few stickers here, and unfortunately, the diamond patterned ones are applied over multiple bricks. The rest, however, are great. Not only does she have an “I Love Joker” bumper sticker, but she has a Joker playing card taped to her dash, I guess serving as a picture of her beloved Puddin’. There is also a sticker for activation of the hammer, which boldly shouts HIT ME! This is a fun set. A neat new Batman vehicle and a big truck with lots of playability. The Harley Minifig is a must-have for any Bat-Fan and, if you only get one of the Batman sets this year, I’d recommend this one. The price versus piece-count on this set is a little bit of a deterrent though. This might not be the best set for collectors on a budget or people looking for something completely new and innovative, but anyone buying this for a child can rest assured that the kid will get your money’s worth out of the set through its play value. When added together and averaged out, the pros and cons of this set combine to give it a score of out of 5. Even if Harley herself is a clean 6 out of 5

0h n0es! c0nspiracy!!!111!!11

Rorke's Drift? Nice work there. That's putting some accessories to good use

That's great! Out of all the Star Wars freighters and capital ships I'd never dream of building an Action IV, but that one is very cool and I'm glad you decided to share.

Tower MOC - Not bad Tower MOC with big friggin' wheels - Awesome! I've always said that you can make anything look 100% cooler just by adding big LEGO wheels. Once again I'm proven correct

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: ...yes, I just totally dorked-out seeing that set. Damn, but Doctor Inferno makes Ogel look like a rank amateur now. That has got to be one of the coolest LEGO playscenes I've ever seen. That is what last year's Hoth Echo Base set should have been built like

What is this..."dusting"? I recently had to retire my Forbidden Island pirate set from display, and it had so much dust on it that it kind of looked like the whole thing was built in light gray bricks. Besides, if you dust your display shelves how can you tell where to put something back when it gets moved?

I've got that problem a lot on some of my older Star Wars models. The best thing I've found to do is to carefully press them down as flat as possible. You've got to be gentle and try not to break off any crumbly bits. Then get a high-quality, crystal clear packing tape. cut a piece just a little larger then your sticker and slowly apply over the top, being careful to press out any air bubbles before they get trapped. Seems to work for me

Outstanding! I love that Spider Droid. Neither set looks as big or as expensive as I feared, so that's a good thing. And as much as I like unique and asymmetrical ships, the Twilight looks pretty boring. Rogue Shadow is a much better ship. Still, I'm looking forward to purchasing both

I hate you All I had sitting on my desk this morning was more of the usual paperwork

Well, that's settled

Honestly, I can't think of a one. I might from time to tie think "Another one of these? I have enough of these.". But then inevitably I start building something and never have enough of those and have to hit up Bricklink Although I could do without those little things the rubber bands come wrapped around. I've never used them for anything but I just can't bring myself to throw them away!
