Celebrate the FIFA World Cup with your favourite The LEGO Movie characters! Who are you cheering for? Here's an overall pic of the build: Enjoy!

Hello everyone! This is actually the first time I ever recorded something I am doing on my laptop, so any suggestions would be much appreciated. So this is a timelapse of me building a microfig scale Iron Condor in Lego Digital Deisgner. Aside from some small features, the main look and color scheme are intact. Comments and critiques are welcome! Thanks for tuning it.

Hi Everyone! This thread will contain all my WIP with regular updates, and finished projects will have their own thread, with high quality pics, videos and maybe files. I will be using this to document everything I do with Lego Technic! Gone a bit mad To start with, here is my current problem!!!! My Patria 8x8 AMV ....broke I was just testing on level ground, then a small object and crack! :cry_sad: I will just swap them over from left to right, but still very puzzling after not even going off-road! Is this a known flaw? Anyone else experienced simpler breakage? My other current project is a 32 Ford Hot Rod. Here is a quick video of performance. It features live axles front and rear and chassis modeled of the real thing. 2XL motors power and 1 servo for steering. More pics are coming soon, so stay tuned! Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share with you my latest MOC and one that has been a real passion-project for me. I'm a huge movie fan and Jaws is probably the film that I love the most. So creating a Jaws MOC is something that I've been thinking about for quite a while. The poster measures approximately 15.75" (40cm) tall, 13.5" (34cm) wide and 5.25" (13.5cm) deep. I estimate the finished model is likely to be in the 3300 – 4000 parts range. It took about eight hours to put it all together and about 20 hours to design in LDD. The water effect is achieved by pouring 1x1 round transparent clear plates in between a solid brick wall and a wall made up of Transparent-Clear panels. The gap between the back wall and the Trans-Clear plates is a single stud. The gap on the left and right is four studs wide. A view from the side where you can see how it sits inside the black 'box' A view from the other side. Dinner time? You can view the full set on Flickr at THIS link UPDATE I have made a couple of tweaks to this piece. The first was a minor change to the top of the 'W' in 'JAWS'. I had capped it off with two 2x2 red tiles but they did not go all the way to the edges, so I replaced the 2x2s with two 1x3s and this makes the 'W' look better. The second modification was more significant and is based on some feedback I received below from Clone OPatra. I was never truly happy with how the shark's nose jutted out over his top lip. To solve this, I made the shark's head one brick wider but kept the nose where it was. This leads to a smoother transition from lip to nose. Finally, whilst I had the camera out, I took the top off to allow for a 'cross-section' view, showing how the various 3D elements look when viewed from above.

I've seen a lot of dead topics about LEGO flight recently, but no-one has anything electrical that actually flies. I did some research, and some math. We need to strip down our 'planes' , take off the plastic motor casing and battery box casing, maybe even just homebrew a battery box. Tethered flight is possible, according to zblj''s principles, but we need to start looking at the untethered side. Maybe this is going to look like a lego-frame quadcopter, but at least we will be using a lego motor, the buggy motor. Overvolting will also be needed, and maybe a gear-down.

hello my friends, Im a huge fan of Neon Genesis Evangelion, so i try to build 2 of the more rare EVAs, that apear in de OVA "Rebuild of Evangelion 2.22 You Can (not) Advance" this is my first try on this kind of building, i made in LDD and render with Pov-Ray. i do not know if the models on real bricks can stand by it selfs, but i-me happy with this MOCs full articulation even on spine wite lots of ball joints, hinges and stuff :) hope you like it :)

Hey guys, a friend on mine showed me this music video, and I was quite surprised. This may be the first time a music video has a topic of its own? The featured ship seems to be the 2010 imperial flagship, but built using a different, black colour scheme. I thought it was worth sharing, because you dont always see something like this. Youtube Title: Rebel feat Sidney Housen - Black Pearl (He's A Pirate) [Official Video] Not my video, I just thought I would share.

Hello, Last summer, I build some MOC's that I haven't posted here yet, due to school. Well, here is one of them: The dodge challenger 1970! http://farm6.staticf...83caab960_z.jpg This scale model of the Dodge has following features: Remote controlled independent suspended Lights (2 pairs in front, 1 in the back) with switch hidden under the rear Rc motor for drive medium motor and hockey spring for RTC steering All pics can be found in my flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tibivi/sets/72157637671354815/with/11066720816/ Hope you like it! Best regards, Tibivi

Hello Eurobricks members! Today I would like to show you a wheelbarrow does it mean a small cart with a single wheel at the front and two supporting legs and two handles at the rear, used typically for carrying loads in building-work or gardening :D Dimensions: length: 21 cm width: 11 cm height: 15 cm weight: 159 grams BS gallery [media] [/media]

Hi was just thinking of about at this time what do you think is the best £/$ 20 superheroes set my personal belief is that it is the cap vs. hydra set but really wanting your opinions !

I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a Mod or a MOC. I guess it's both. The exterior is an expansion/re-imagining of 10228. I used the same window design but with a 1/2 stud offset to give the windows a lower profile. Most of the design cues from 10228 have been carried over as well. I also added a bay window on the right and a two story set of bay windows on the left side of the house as well as a second chimney. The house is built in the modular style and will eventually have a fully detailed interior. I will update with more pictures as I complete more of the house. The parlour is nearly done and most of the first floor is in progress - waiting on some pieces. This is the biggest (and most expensive!) project I've attempted and I have big plans for this project, beyond just the interior and exterior. Other images available here.

Here is my latest Modular MOD. It is the sixth modular that i made an XL version of. I take two sets of the original and then MOD it into one large building. Hope you like it. The interior is also adapted to the larger space inside that is available....

Hello everyone, No one knew what this series is going to be like before seeing the official released images in earlier November 2013. There are lots of discussion accompanied with a high level of hype and excitement among the LEGO community, wondering what could this whole new concept is going to be based on? I also believe most of us have seen this earlier and as well as this which focus on the upcoming 'The LEGO Movie' which is slated for global release in 7 February 2014. All of these promotional materials which we can currently relate to, are definitely continue to build the hype and making this complete new series into a totally exciting new dimension which I will be sharing in this Eurobricks review.Before I begin this review in proper, I will like to give my very most sincere thank you and gratitude to The LEGO Group (TLG) for continuing to facilitate and giving me this very exclusive rare opportunity to access to this 'early' insight before many others, so I could have adequate spare time to work, evaluate and review this absolute newly LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series. I will also like to give my utmost thank you to the Eurobricks Staff/LEGO Ambassador, CopMike and my fellow Eurobricks Staffers for being so helpful and supportive to this reviewing endeavour. Lastly, the most important person which I must thank, is my beloved wife, Kim/Belun for being so understanding and supportive throughout this reviewing period! I am truly very glad that I am able to able to continue to share this very special reviewing achievement with everyone once more. I hope I have not disappoint anyone in this review, if so, I will like to offer my humble apologies and I really hope I can continue to meet your expectations for this exclusive reviewing coverage. As the Eurobricks tradition depicts, let's do a formal re-cap for all of the past Eurobricks Collectable Minifigures polls once more. It started with a humble beginning of Series 1 followed by Series 2 in the year 2010 and it continue to spread like wildfire with another three strong waves of minifigures craze in the year 2011, putting Series 3, Series 4 and Series 5 in an excellent harvesting year. In the year 2012, we celebrated with Series 6, Series 7 and recent Series 8. With the beginning of the year 2013, we have the recent Series 9, Series 10 and Series 11. Now, I will like to invite the Eurobricks Community to cast their votes into this complete brand new LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series poll statistics as well. Name: 71004 LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series Theme: LEGO System / Collectable Minifigures / The LEGO Movie Year: 2014 Minifigs: 16 unique minifigures Price for 1 box: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD $294.00 Price for 1 packet: USD 2.99, GBP 1.99, EURO N.A, SGD $4.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An image of an 71004 LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series The LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series come in a very nice strong blue schema for this entire release. Please do not be mistaken with the close relative of the blue colour family line such as the 8684 LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 2 colour schema or even the 8805 LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 5. These two series come with complete different blue shade. Pardon me, I won't be showing all of the previously released of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series for comparison. [Reference 1] [Reference 2] [Reference 3] [Reference 4] What could possibly contain within these mysterious sealed packets? This is the superb new LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Movie Series group picture The LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series is slated for worldwide release on the 1st December 2013 (unlikely to be correct) or 1st January 2014 (most likely). This complete new series has also taken on a new LEGO Theme name, and it will be regarded as 'The LEGO Minifigures' (MFs) instead of the traditional name known as 'The LEGO Collectable Minifigures' (CMFs). In this case, this will be different and special unlike the usual approach. So, what does this entail for the LEGO minifigures fans? Does this change the playing field? Fortunately, the fundamentals and principles of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Theme remain to be a force to be reckon with and have found their way into the new LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Movie Series. This entire selling approach serve as an excellent opportunity for the TLG to leverage the success of the CMFs and introduce into an one-off promotion to promote the very own upcoming licensed theme of The LEGO Movie in February 2014. This will certainly go right down into the marking of a significant milestone for the LEGO Minifigures history. So, does this spell the end of the success of the LEGO CMFs? I bet my gut feelings that this entire new marketing outreach approach has opened a new window of opportunity to introduce more variations into this LEGO Theme. It is most likely that the LEGO CMFs is taking a short hiatus and who knows, we may also see its return in the near future, like in 2015, for example. Too bad, I am no TLG fortune teller and only time will tell if my guess is right. Meanwhile, let's focus and see if the LEGO MFs design team has indeed wow us with lots of surprises and treats like they always do for previous CMFs series. Please do note that the naming that I have use for this review are official TLG minifigures naming for LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series. So, there is absolute no doubt or misinterpretation on the naming used. Is this going to be LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 12? Earlier ago, there is an upbeat discussion on whether this LEGO Movie is going to be regarded as LEGO CMFs Series 12 or LEGO Movie CMFs something of that sort. Being LEGO AFOLs, we like to get our facts right and at that point in time, without sufficient clear evidence, things may get a little quite complicated peppered with high tensions from our fellow members and our Eurobricks Staffers had to intervene to calm things down. I will quote myself again in the past discussion: "This upcoming brand new release is to be regarded as "LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series". This is the official naming for this Series. In short, it also meant that this minifigures packaging will be similar in the CMF design which we are familiar with. However, this is not exactly a LEGO CMFs Series 12 in exact but to infer as Series 12 shadow. This is not related to any of the LEGO CMFs Series 1 to 11 concept which I believe will take a short break and taking on another new perspective to present and market other LEGO Minifigures Theme. In this case, this is all about the upcoming LEGO movie. Am I making any sense?" In short, this is not exactly the LEGO CMFs Series 12 which we are looking forward to, but instead you get a surprising twist to treat this new release as the LEGO MFs - The LEGO Movie. This is just to clarify the pending matter and to help one another. No pointing of fingers of who claiming the rights of credit will be allow. We are an educated community, so let's just refrain and play well with one another. Front view comparison with the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series packet and together with all available LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 1 to 11 packets Now, let's put the LEGO MFs - The LEGO Movie Series packet, along with the rest of the released LEGO CMFs Series. You could see the distinct differences from one another especially on the top right hand corner where it now only state '16 to collect' instead of the series number. The rest of the packaging location is standardised with one another, except for the new placement of the LEGO Movie logo instead of using minifigures. Nonetheless, it is very impressive to see so many of these unique packets being arranged together. It is a pity that I did not include the Team GB Olympics Minifigures packaging in this picture. It will definitely make this showcase look much complete. Take a closer look at these. This is the front view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series packet, while this shows the back view of it. Last but not least, this is an image that shows the back view comparison for all of these packets. I am going to repeat this very 'same' golden rule, likewise in all of my previous reviews. If you are intending to narrow the precious and hard-to-find minifigures that you are bending to collect, please continue to hone the touch and feel method. It is an useful skill set to acquire and locate the minifigures that you want without wasting additional money to randomly acquire them especially when you are intending to buy large quantities. Your sole mission is to memorise and remember the minifigures assortments for each of the specialised designs. Isolate and identify the most unique accessory or accessories that appeared for the particular minifigure. From there, eliminate the torso, head and legs away and feel for other parts. The only disadvantage of this method is much idle time will be most likely wasted if the minifigures that you are seeking for does not exist in the box or ending up having sore numb thumbs after feeling. However, I personally feel that this approach is the most practical that works the best for me than any other uncommon approaches. Front view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series promotional poster Back view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series promotional poster 1) The destructive Calamity Drone This destructive Calamity Drone is the first listed minifigure in this LEGO Movie Series. She is a cyborg robot and certainly work for the evil President Business. Judging from her appearance, she seem to come from the Wild Wild West settings and I have absolute no idea on how this Calamity Drone will relate in this movie. Perhaps, she is being deployed to catch the main characters, Emmet and Wyldstyle. If you just look her from behind, you may actually assume that she is a damsel but whereas it is not entirely true. I also wonder if there is any strong association with the real Calamity Jane in the late 1800s or just a mere coincidence. Parts assortment The parts assortment is decent which include the brown musket as a choice of weapon. I am much pretty fond of her new hairstyle design, where the red hair accessory cap can be detached from the hairpiece. It is well positioned from the top and it is able to show a forward slant appearance. You can admire her gracious wild west outfit from her side view. However, you can see the true colours of her robotic skeletal from her clear front and back which clearly show her non-human nature. Watch out for my firearm Do I look fine to you? Bring it on... 2) The ruthless President Business President Business is the main antagonist in the LEGO Movie. I also understand that he is also known as Lord Business, presented in his other evil originator form. In normal circumstances, President Business will be wearing in his usual brick brown hairstyle and smart grey suit. President Business is the Chief Executive Officer of many global businesses, and one of which is the LEGO Octan Fuel company. As his other alter-ego, he is bending to dominate the world through his robotic cyborg army. Parts assortment The parts assortment is quite average even though I must admit that I am pretty fond of the red Octan printed mug. President Business comes with dual emotional mode and one of which showcase his anger. You can view his grey suit outfit in detail from the side view and back view. One of the interesting feature is President Business's brick brown hairstyle which is very unique and different from traditional design. My Octan Sales are not doing well... Find the culprit and bring him to me 3) The imaginative Hard Hat Emmet Let's welcome the ever jovial, happy and stress-free Emmet, the main protagonist of the LEGO Movie who will be going up against President Business to stop his plans from dominating the world. Emmet is foreseen to be or believed to be the saviour of the LEGO Universe to become the most extraordinary Master Builder, where in fact he is just an ordinary looking LEGO Town citizen that got himself involved in a bigger adventure of his lifetime and also to meet his dream girl through this quest. Also not to mention that, at any glance, you will most likely remember his name as "Emmet" since his name tag can be found printed on his left leg. Parts assortment The part assortment is quite average but there are lots of fun in deriving Emmet. I believe the main new feature is Emmet traditional classic red construction helmet which come with a new variation that include his brown hair colour all around his helmet to show his hairline. You can see the clear comparison in this image, followed by taking a closer look from his side view and back view. This printed 1x2 tile is a piece of interest, which illustrate something of an manual or work orders of some sort and I can't help but to think that in Octan, if you failed in your mission, you will feed to the sharks and be happy for it. Geez, I think the LEGO Movie will probably shed some truth in it. Did I not mention that Emmet also come with an extremely happy mood? Everyday I'm shufflin I want my construction of oil refinery finished! Why are you so happy everyday? Another busy day at work 4) The charming Wild West Wyldstyle "Come with me if you wanna not die.", as quoted by this main lead actress in the LEGO Movie, Wyldstyle donned in her beautiful Wild West outfit. Wyldstyle is also Emmet's love interest but I am not sure if Wyldstyle will reciprocate the love. Her iconic signature hairstyle is pretty nicely done and is unique to her character, which is evidently seen in her Wild West outfit. I wonder what sort of adventures do both share in this Wild West settings. Parts assortment The parts assortment is decent and the nicest thing about this minifigure is the black dress which is suitable for the medieval or pirates themes. You can also see the details from her front which even contain a small skull button at the centre of the neck as well as the dress laces at the back. Her only accessory is the black ornamental fan. Welcome to Wild West Isn't these exhibits cool? I do not fear you Superheroes assembled 5) The determined Abraham Lincoln I don't recall remembering TLG ever using any official representation of any certain real-life characters. In this case, this is certainly and surely one of the first non-fiction historic character, known as Abraham Lincoln appearing in the LEGO Universe. Historic fans of the United States history will definitely like to own a piece of history especially when Abraham Lincoln was once the 16th President of the United States. Furthermore, I am very fond of his famous quote in the upcoming LEGO Movie, "A house divided against itself... would be better than this!" and I felt it might be implying to the abolishment and banned of slavery in the United States. I can't be certain if it hold any true to it, but I thought it might be related in some form. Parts assortment The parts assortment is not too bad, especially the introduction of the printed tile that titled "Four Score and seven years ago...", which refer to the Gettysburg address by Abraham Lincoln that touch on the "Declaration of Independence", written at the start of the American Revolution in 1776. You can view the unparalleled detail of Abraham Lincoln from the side view and back view in LEGO minifigure format. The hairpiece assortment is a combination of his tall black hat and his black beard. It is non-detachable and is make up of a little mild soft ABS hard plastic. You can view the clear difference without his hairpiece on. Do you know my real identity? We came a long way in history Going back into history 6) The caring Mrs. Scratchen-Post This is Mrs. Scratchen-Post and I got absolute no idea of what is her role in the upcoming LEGO Movie. I supposed I describe her as a caring woman, mainly is because for her love of cats, similar to our Series 11 Grandma. I am quite certain she should be playing a fairly important role in order to get herself included into the movie series. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty neat especially the inclusion of a new design for the cats. Her grey colour hairstyle is nice on its own and we take this opportunity to compare with the Series 11 Grandma from the side view and back view. Their love of the cats is evidently shown on their torsos which will make a sweet treat for cat lovers identifiers. Swap with one another Blind date Who are you? 7) The nasty Scribble-Face Bad Cop The nasty Scribble-Face Bad Cop is employed not for serving justice but solely following the orders of President Business. He is also the right-hand henchman of President Business and is hunting Emmet and Wyldstyle in this wild goose chase, hoping to arrest either one of them. He has a good side and a bad side personality. In this case, this minifigure design does not show any good side of him, but instead you will notice his appearance being scribbled by hand-drawn sketches right on his face. I really wonder what is the main cause of it and I will expect the movie to explain the outcome. Parts assortment The parts assortment is decent and it include a handcuff in this packet. More importantly, I am particularly fond of this printed tile which feature the usage of a LEGO Smartphone. It contains numerous applications at the main page and one point of interest is the Octan app and the rest of the apps aren't too hard to guess either. You can view his smart black appearance of this injustice cop from his side view and back view. The minifigure design is versatile and can be easily applied and transformed into a generic LEGO Police Officer with his cool sunshades and unfriendly face. HELP ME... Law Enforcers On assignment 8) The poetic William Shakespeare As I have mentioned earlier on the Abraham Lincoln minifigure, this is the next second non-fiction historic character and it is none other than the poetic William Shakespeare. He is a well respected and renowned poet and playwright of the 16th century. His accomplishment include works of Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and many more. It is truly surprising to see this real life character coming to assume as a LEGO minifigure and it is a sweet treat for literature and arts enthusiasts and can be matched together with the Series 8 Actor. Parts assortment The parts assortment is not too bad as it include a quill and a 2x2 printed tile which feature an interesting quote "To build or not to build", which is very nice to note for LEGO fans like ourselves to contemplate whether if we should go ahead to build or not to build a LEGO set. This is very delightful surprise and I came out with my own rendition of "To brick or not to brick", in the earlier LEGO CMFs Series 8 review. The original quote is from Hamlet and is infer as "To be or not to be". The hairpiece is nicely done which reflect the close resemblance of the real life William Shakespeare. You can view the close details from his back view. Personally, this minifigure can also be used in other historic settings as well. You are part of my creation? Let me tell you a story and it all begins with... 9) The strong Gail the Construction Worker Although I am not very sure who the character, Gail is all about in the LEGO Movie but she is the first female LEGO Construction Worker ever created. In the past, it is proven that the LEGO Construction industry is a male dominating environment until she comes about to show us that females can also equally handle this tough construction job. Judging from her rugged appearance, Gail is no frail damsel in distress. You can probably guess that Gail is capable as well as her male counterparts. Parts assortment The parts assortment is average and the drill equipment is something which we have seen before. However, the nicest thing about Gail, is focusing more on her traditional red construction helmet which encompass her long brown tied hair at the back. It is non-detachable and the details can be spotted from the side view and back view. The back view comparison of the highly visible safety vests for Gail and Emmet are of two different printed designs. Working colleagues Lots of drilling down here 10) The hardworking Larry the Barista Let me introduce the famous LEGO Barista, Larry. He may look kind of dull and lethargic but he brew great coffee that will just perk you up in office. Larry seem to be quite popular among the LEGO fans as I understand that his expertise is require in many town areas for his great coffee brewing skills. As of now, you will probably recall from the movie trailer, seeing Larry charging Emmet for $37 LEGO Dollars for a cup of takeaway hot drink. Oh, he can be easily identified as "Larry" especially when his name tag is printed on his right hand side of the apron. Parts assortment The parts assortment is good and most of us will likely aim to acquire the printed takeaway drink for our minifigures to hold onto. It's awesome to know that the drink can be held by the minifigure. Larry's hairstyle is in dark brown colour and I am also fond of his styling. You can view the outline of his hairstyle from the back. I will surely be using his hairstyle for my other male Townies for different variations. What is your order? Hot cups of cuppa 11) The scheming Velma Staplebot This Velma Staplebot is a very scheming robotic cyborg which I believe the one who has engineered the cryptic world domination plan for President Business on this Super Secret Plan: Taco Tuesday. When I first saw her picture, I find this minifigure design to be very familiar to another character and true enough, it might just be referring to Velma Dinkley, a cartoon character from Scooby Doo. When I discovered this, I realised this is actually an interesting fact to behold. Perhaps, it's too much of a coincidence but Velma Dinkley and Velma Staplebot could just be a reincarnation of herself since she is regarded as a highly intellectual individual with science as her specialisation. I really wonder what kind of diabolical plan will they come out with. Parts assortment The parts assortment is not too bad especially taking into account of her overall minifigure design and the 2x2 printed tile featuring the clipboard mentioning the Super Secret Plan: Taco Tuesday. Her iconic new hairpiece is something which I am very fond of. It is retro looking and you can admire more of it from the side view and back view. A change of appearance The full hunt begins My evil minions Carry out the 'Super Secret Plan' 12) The excited Taco Tuesday Guy Without having an opportunity to watch the movie first, it is very hard to infer or guess if the Taco Tuesday Guy is truly innocent which is being 'used' by President Business or Velma Staplebot or at the same time, thinking if he also knowingly participate in this elaborate set up. Some of us are happy to see the return of this fellow especially for those who have missed it earlier in LEGO CMFs Series 2. It never hurts to get a similar counterpart for our Series 2, Mariachi, so it is nice to see a new re-hash of this guy. Parts assortment The parts assortment is great, especially when we see a new sombrero and poncho designs and you can see them altogether in here. You can see some of the details from the back view. The detailed printed Taco Dish where you can place 1x1 yellow flat tile to represent as a form of cheese tacos, is truly nicely done up. Boss, all ready Taco Tuesday Fiesta Taco Tuesday 13) The unpredictable ’Where are my pants?’ Guy Come on everyone! Let's search for his 'pants'. Oh great, I hope this is not some sort of publicity stunt by President Business or even probably a reality show by this infamous ’Where are my pants?’ Guy. Apparently, he seems to be losing his white pants all of the time. I wonder why he can't keep it on. We will leave it to find more details in the upcoming LEGO movie, hoping it will shed some light onto this matter, because it is very hilarious and weird to see TLG coming such a strange conceptualised design. Parts assortment The parts assortment is average and the best thing about this entire concept, is the addition of a minifigure leg. This ’Where are my pants?’ Guy is the first minifigure ever that comes with two pairs of legs. Indeed, it is strange but pretty useful for fans who are searching to stock up white leg pieces for minifigure customisation purpose. I also find the torso design to be quite refreshing with the Hawaiian fitting and it add some colour vibrant into the background as well. Unfortunately, there is no back printing for the torso. I am wearing my pants now Howdy everyone Say 'cheese' My other twin brother Finally found my pants! 14) The dangerous Wiley Fusebot I have absolute no idea of how Wiley Fusebot come about, and the closest that I could guess is Wile E. Coyote cartoon character. It might be close but this is just a rough guess, since the other two minifigures designs are somehow related to something else that we are familiar with. Wiley Fusebot is a robotic cyborg like the rest and he appear to specialise in explosives and pyrotechnics. Still, he make a fine addition in the outback settings or hunter of some sort. This make probable sense since he might just be hunting Emmet and Wyldstyle. Parts assortment The parts assortment is very good especially the inclusion of the revolver and dynamite. I like his head piece very much and the amount of details is shown clearly at the side view and back view which include back printing. You can see the amount of details present in this minifigure design. A refreshing look Are you a zombie? I have explosives with me 15) The cute Panda Guy This little fellow is widely regarded as the cute Panda Guy and is now officially to be my most favourite minifigure in this series. First of all, this is a panda in minifigure scale and it is too cute to resist. I am very curious to find out what kind of hopefully angelic role that the panda guy will act in the LEGO Movie. For now, let's welcome the sixth furry outfit in the LEGO Universe. Parts assortment The parts assortment is good and my favourite part is the Panda soft toy. At first, I am wondering if this panda guy will be merely filled up as a real panda sizing instead of a minifigure fitting in there. True enough, you can see the hardworking panda guy ready to don his panda suit. Just look at his panda adorable eyes, and the sheer amount of pandy details from the side view and back view including the zip presence. Uniting them together The furry animals Latest city news highlights My favourite animal character 16) The beautiful Marsha Queen of the Mermaids Hurrah, for LEGO Mermaid lovers. Yes, we are getting a new mermaid variation. The last time we had one was back in Series 9, Mermaid. Apparently, this mermaid is regarded as Marsha, Queen of the Mermaids, which mean she is one of the highest ranking individual, along with Series 7, Ocean King that control the seas creatures in their underwater empire. It is really very nice to see some different LEGO Mermaid designs in their original form. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty good. The LEGO mermaid design is done in an excellent manner especially on the front and the side as well. It is also good to see a pink gem and white calm which both are useful accessories for using in other building purpose. Her hairstyle contain a purple starfish print to increase the level of details. Look at what I have found Underwater Royal Kingdom Members This party is getting crowded General Statistics for 71004 LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series Below is the combination which I have received from my box, 2 Calamity Drones 6 President Business(s) 6 Hard Hat Emmet(s) 4 Wild West Wyldstyle(s) 4 Abraham Lincoln(s) 2 Mrs. Scratchen-Post(s) 6 Scribble-Face Bad Cops 2 William Shakespeare(s) 2 Gail the Construction Worker(s) 4 Larry the Barista(s) 2 Velma Staplebot(s) 4 Taco Tuesday Guys 4 ’Where are my pants?’ Guys 4 Wiley Fusebot(s) 6 Panda Guys 2 Marsha Queen of the Mermaids Based on the above distribution, I have managed to achieve only two full complete sets of 16 one-of-a kind minifigures each.

My remaining spares 0 Calamity Drones 4 President Business(s) 4 Hard Hat Emmet(s) 2 Wild West Wyldstyle(s) 2 Abraham Lincoln(s) 0 Mrs. Scratchen-Post(s) 4 Scribble-Face Bad Cops 0 William Shakespeare(s) 0 Gail the Construction Worker(s) 2 Larry the Barista(s) 0 Velma Staplebot(s) 2 Taco Tuesday Guys 2 ’Where are my pants?’ Guys 2 Wiley Fusebot(s) 4 Panda Guys 0 Marsha Queen of the Mermaids Data Analysis Based on the complete new data which I have complied, I have indicated my basic analysis based on my own take. Buying one full complete MISB box will allow you to achieve two maximum complete unique sets. I believe this is the new distribution which is being considered for a full box of 30 since TLG is intending to market the LEGO CMFs series with effect of the not quite recent LEGO CMFs Series 9 to be sold in a box of 30 and 60 to market and reach out to new and different group of consumers. Therefore, if you are buying a box of 30, you will definitely be given a full complete set, while a box of 60 will certainly give you two complete sets. This is probably for the first time ever in the LEGO Minifigures Collectable history that there is no specific army building minifigures unlike previous LEGO CMFs Series. All of these current 16 minifigures designs are mostly specific characters tied into the upcoming LEGO Movie. The main lead actors and actress such as Emmet, Wyldstyle, President Business, Abraham Lincoln and William Shakespeare are such good examples, where you don't need an army of it. In addition, other characters are pretty quite generic and largely revolved around the LEGO City settings and the closest army building minifigure and yet generic looking is probably the Scribble-Face Bad Cop. With the constant release of LEGO Police in the LEGO City Theme, I don't really think the Scribble-Face Bad Cop will be hardly sought for especially when there are six of the same designs present in a sealed box. Other minifigures designs such as the Panda will be also well looked out for and it is really great to know that he is also in the six of the same design distribution, while Larry the Barista, Abraham Lincoln and some others are in the four of the same design distribution which will not cause a huge panic to locate it. I foresee that the Marsha Queen of the Mermaids will be one of the hardest to locate especially since this design is in the two of the same design distribution. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the way in how the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series distribution listing. What do you guys think about this round of distribution? Do you share the same sentiments? To conclude and summaries, based on the probability demonstrated by this review, as an example, here are the results, Very High probability 1) President Business(s) 2) Hard Hat Emmet(s) 3) Scribble-Face Bad Cops 4) Panda Guys Total range: 40% (increases by 15% more based on 3 complete sets equation) Each: 10% Medium probability 1) Wild West Wyldstyle(s) 2) Abraham Lincoln(s) 3) Larry the Barista(s) 4) Taco Tuesday Guys 5) 'Where are my pants?’ Guys 6) Wiley Fusebot(s) Total range: 40% (remains the same based on 3 complete sets equation) Each: 6.67% Very Low probability 1) Calamity Drones 2) Mrs. Scratchen-Post(s) 3) William Shakespeare(s) 4) Gail the Construction Worker(s) 5) Velma Staplebot(s) 6) Marsha Queen of the Mermaids Total range: 20% (decreases by 15% less based on 3 complete sets equation) Each 3.33% The LEGO Movie Series will be launching on the 1st December 2013 or 1st January 2014 (worldwide) To conclude, the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Movie Series has done a remarkable job to introduce more new minifigures designs into this new minifigure theme, even though it is not directly classified under the LEGO Collectable Minifigures category. This is the very first time all 16 minifigures are being released and grouped under one single selling theme and in this case, it is all about marketing and promoting the upcoming LEGO Movie next year. This release also allow us to see the highest numbers of LEGO female minifigures in a single series. There are actually a total of six female minifigures in The LEGO Movie Series and this clearly show a gradual increase of more female counterparts. Many thanks for the hardwork of the TLG Minifigures Team to carry out much research and design work for these designing concepts. Your dedication has paid off indeed as this series continue to live up to expectations. Now with a total of 192 minifigures released for the entire Series 1 to 11 and the current LEGO Movie Series, not including Mr.Gold which unfortunately I do not have the blessings to own it and the recent acquired Toy Soldier that can only be obtained through The Minifigures Character Encylopedia. I have decided not to take the super big traditional group photo, is mainly largely attributed to the fact that this series is considered as LEGO CMFs Series 12. Therefore, I have reviewed this entirely and reflect it as an individual series under the minifigures umbrella. This entire theme had evolved and transformed to a brand new endless dimension which I strongly believe will continue to marvel all of us with their future releases. With this LEGO Movie Series releasing soon, I am still very unsure and uncertain of the next subsequent series, even though it is rumoured to be of a certain licensed theme. Well, we shall see in the next few months after the launch of the LEGO Movie itself. Meanwhile, let's enjoy these wonderful new minifigures designs. Please note that the The LEGO Movie Series do not contain the placement of LEGO spare parts/accessories. This was practiced since the start of LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (More new LEGO Minifigures integration across many new and existing themes.) Design: 8.5/10 (Good detailed and limited new LEGO minifigures' parts and accessories such as the new take-away cup, hairpieces, new printed tiles, etc.) Price: 8/10 (I believe pricing will remain the same and overall quality has certainly improved.) Overall: 8.2/10 (Another high rating for this new series and it is very much worth buying and continue to collect these new minifigures.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed.

I've just a spent a few days making these icons for my PC, and I'm that pleased with how they came out that I thought some of you might like to use them as well. These are all 256x256x32 Windows icons with transparency and work best with a dark desktop, I've also included "feature" alternatives in case you want to use the icons for the Recycle Bin (the Sarlacc is perfect for this purpose, so much so that I've included a sound file to use as the emptying effect HERE, just right-click and save). Note for Windows7 users... If you find that after changing the Recycle Bin icons, they no longer change automatically to show if the bin is empty or not, just follow these instructions. Click on the Start button and type REGEDIT in the search box, then click on regedit.exe when it appears in the list above. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / CLSID / {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} / Default Icon In here you will find three entries (default, empty, full), each one showing the file path to your custom icon. Edit each one in turn and add ,0 (comma zero) to the end of each line without a space (so for example %userprofile%\path_to_icons\sarlacc.ico would now become %userprofile%\path_to_icons\sarlacc.ico,0) Once all three have been changed, close REGEDIT and refresh your desktop. The Recycle Bin icons should now change automatically when filled or emptied. Click each preview below to download the same image in the .ico format. More to follow, I'll take requests too as long as the .lxf files exist .

To honor the Brickworld 2014 theme: "Candy, Sweet Escapes" is this icon of 1950's American childhood: the Good Humor ice-creme truck and mannequin of the Good Humor man. This model is a minifig scale version of the prototype used in the Doomtown sequence of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Its presence in the film contrasted the horror atomic testing with the innocence of suburban life. The "Bomb Pop" is a Friends lipstick with two small stickers :-) https://www.flickr.c...in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.c...ms/14378043594/

Ive found some spare lego figs and Ive brought the 2 xmen sets out at the moment, but over them you only get a hand full of mutants. I know I can buy custom ones via online auctions places, but they are abit pricey so Ive decided to make my own figures of characters I dont think they will bring out. Im doing; Harada Mariko Yukio Silver Samurai Warpath Blink Viper Also brought a Lex Luthor fig so that can be Prof X. using an invisi block and a grey chair. Anyone got any tips for using paint on lego? I might put pics up if im able to, but, im not an expert painter and Id say im quite bad so. So they may suck. Ive done Yukio's sword (Basing the fig from the wolverine) which im almost happy with. If anyones interested, drop a message in :)

I have around 22 lbs of legos which i'd like to sell. There are some rare retired star wars sets but none are complete and i have no instruction manuals. it also includes some other sets from bionicle, citi, castle, aqua raiders, agents and more. what would a good selling price be? i also have a lego RC car by lego racers and prince of persia. What price? Quote MultiQuote Edit

Well it's been 9 months since I have built anything I felt deserved posting, but with our annual big show, Sydney Brick Show, next week I have been working on a large space collaboration with Taz-Maniac, Intrastella/Dr Rod and Bricktron. My part doesn't fit on my large table and had to be constructed in parts, some old stuff returning as well as new pieces. Hopefully I will snap some good pics at the show next weekend to post, but for now this is a little tidbit. Pumpkonia On the desolate plains of the planet Agreon, the Pumpkonians have learn't how best to exploit the natural resources while turning a space buck or two.

Hey guys, I'm new here and would like to present you the WIP of my lawn and garden tractor. At the moment, it features RWD, a turning blade and a V2-Engine. Both are connected to the RWD, which has a differential. The seat is variable, it moves in one stud steps. The front wheels are steered by the small steering wheel. Things I'm having on my to do list at the moment: - I'll have to optimize the partcount to give the lawn and garden tractor a nice body (194 parts at the moment). - Building the model in real life (this will happen next weekend). And I have a picture of the actual virtual model for you, which shows the drivetrain and the frame. In the model above I made the wrong picture, so you can't see the steering. My second picture shows you my virtual model with body parts. I'll use silver and black or red and black. I'll see which plates I have at home and use them in one of the two colour combinations. The basket isn't ready, when playing with the lawn garden tractor the player can remove it. Another small update: I changed the body design, because the first version of the body was too "fat".

I've been on eBay recently and I saw some really cool minifigures, something that really stood out to me was the helmets (I'm talking starwars here :P) I really want to make my own mold and make my own well.. helmets. What do I need to accomplish this task? Is there a cheap alternative? I bought "Instant Mold" and I'm waiting for it to arrive, but I think the main problem is the cast. Any help is appreciated.

I wanted to do some stop motion animation ever since I put the Simpsons lego house together a few weeks ago. Here's the result. Bart Simpson with special guests Milhouse and Nelson.

Hello everyone, When the rumoured news of the LEGO Simpsons is going to hit into the hearts of the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series, there are two exact opposite group of LEGO fans. Either they love this new design concept or totally felt this new design concept is complete irrelevant with the LEGO Theme. This is just the rough sentiments of LEGO fans late last year. Recently, with the new launch of the 71006: The Simpsons House near to the start of 2014. It has definitely proved very welcoming for many LEGO fans and AFOLs wanting to see this happening in the world of LEGO Collectable Minifigures Universe. No one knows how these will end up to be, until the release and upload of official photos by TLG. This is a moment of truth where you will discover the magical new series and experience in this review. Please pardon my lack of strong knowledge of The Simpsons if I had fail to mention or identify critical components relating to the design. I also rely heavily on The Simpsons Wiki Resources (thank you!). Before I continue this review in proper, I will like to give my very most sincere thank you and gratitude to The LEGO Group (TLG) for continuing to facilitate and giving me this very exclusive rare opportunity to access to this 'early' insight before many others, so I could have adequate spare time to work, evaluate and review this absolute newly LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series. Be rest assured guys, I will be certainly looking forward to thank the entire team in person! I will also like to give my thanks to the Eurobricks Staff/LEGO Ambassador, CopMike and my fellow Eurobricks Staffers for being so helpful to this reviewing endeavour. I must also thank my beloved wife, Kim/Belun for being there and supportive throughout this gruesome reviewing period! This is not an easy period for me, especially on the emotional portion. I will like to personally dedicate this review to my father as well, who always love me and care for me no matter what. I love you and I will be strong for the family. I am truly very glad that I am able to able to continue to share this very special reviewing achievement with all of you. I hope I have not disappoint anyone in this review, if so, I will like to offer my humble apologies and I really hope I can continue to meet your expectations for this exclusive reviewing coverage. As the Eurobricks tradition depicts, let's do a formal re-cap for all of the past Eurobricks Collectable Minifigures polls once more. It started with a humble beginning of Series 1 followed by Series 2 in the year 2010 and it continue to spread like wildfire with another three strong waves of minifigures craze in the year 2011, putting Series 3, Series 4 and Series 5 in an excellent harvesting year. In the year 2012, we celebrated with Series 6, Series 7 and recent Series 8. With the beginning of the year 2013, we have the recent Series 9, Series 10 and Series 11. Now at the start of 2014, we have seen the LEGO Movie Series. Now, I will like to invite the Eurobricks Community to cast their votes into this complete brand new LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series poll statistics as well. Name: 71005 LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series Theme: LEGO System / Collectable Minifigures / The LEGO Simpsons Year: 2014 Minifigs: 16 unique minifigures Price for 1 box: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Price for 1 packet: USD N.A, GBP N.A, EURO N.A, SGD N.A Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An image of an 71005 LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons The LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series come in a very nice sky blue schema for this entire release. It is associated closely with the overall opening sequence of the animated sitcom. It also show the repetitive clouds at the background with familiar details. [Reference 1] [Reference 2] [Reference 3] What could possibly contain within these mysterious sealed packets? This is the most incredible detailed new LEGO Simpsons minifigures ever released The LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series is slated for worldwide release on the 1st May 2014 or 1st June 2014. This complete new series has also taken on a new LEGO Theme name, and it will be regarded as 'The LEGO Minifigures' (MFs) instead of the traditional name known as 'The LEGO Collectable Minifigures' (CMFs). This is used in conjunction with the LEGO Movie Series which was released in the beginning of 2014. The LEGO Simpsons Series is based on the very popular and timeless American adult animated sitcom in the 1980s, known as The Simpsons. It is originally created by Matt Groening. The series is a satirical parody of a middle class American lifestyle epitomized by its family of the same name, which consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The show is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies American culture, society, television, and many aspects of the human condition. This new release has opened a brand new dimension of LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series (LEGO CMFs) and it is true that the new marketing outreach has successfully attracted new LEGO fans through popular existing characters or series which we are mostly familiar with. It is most likely that the LEGO CMFs is taking a short break and who knows, we may also see its return in the near future, like in 2015, for example. Only time will tell if my guess is right. Meanwhile, let's focus and see if the LEGO MFs design team is able to amaze us with many surprises and treats like they always did for previous LEGO CMFs series. Please do note that the naming that I have use for this review are official TLG minifigures naming for LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series. So, there is absolute no doubt or misinterpretation on the naming used. Front view comparison with the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series packet and together with all available LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 1 to 11 and LEGO Movie packets By placing all of these packets altogether, you could see a distinct correlation of how it has evolved from LEGO CMFs Series 1 to the very new LEGO Simpsons Series. You could also notice the distinct differences from one another especially on the top right hand corner where it now only state 'The Simpsons' instead of the series number or 16 to collect. The rest of the packaging location is pretty standardised with one another. Take a closer look at these. This is the front view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series packet, while this shows the back view of it. Last but not least, this is an image that shows the back view comparison for all of these packets. I am going to repeat this very 'same' golden rule, likewise in all of my previous reviews. If you are intending to narrow the precious and hard-to-find minifigures that you are bending to collect, please continue to hone the touch and feel method. It is an useful skill set to acquire and locate the minifigures that you want without wasting additional money to randomly acquire them especially when you are intending to buy large quantities. Your sole mission is to memorise and remember the minifigures assortments for each of the specialised designs. Isolate and identify the most unique accessory or accessories that appeared for the particular minifigure. From there, eliminate the torso, head and legs away and feel for other parts. The only disadvantage of this method is much idle time will be most likely wasted if the minifigures that you are seeking for does not exist in the box or ending up having sore numb thumbs after feeling. However, I personally feel that this approach is the most practical that works the best for me than any other uncommon approaches. Front view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series promotional poster Back view of the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series promotional poster 1) Presenting Homer Simpson It's no surprise that you get to see Homer Simpson for the very first time in LEGO format. He is the first in line to be introduced into this series. He is just your regular and typical lazy person that sit like a potato couch holding his television remote control and munching away with his donuts. Everything about him is just simply 'Homer' and I am very with the amount of high details and attention is given to this character design. This is his original outfit when he is at home or elsewhere other than his working attire. Homer Simpson is the main protagonist. He is the father of the Simpson family. He is an overweight, lazy and ignorant individual, but is strongly devoted to his wife and children. Despite this and his below average intelligence, Homer has shown moments of great intellect, and can be a caring parent and husband at times. He works as a low level safety inspector at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, in Sector 7G. He is often incompetent and mostly sleeps and eat on duty. He spends a great deal of his time at Moe's Tavern with his lifelong friends Barney, Carl, Lenny, and bartender Moe. Parts assortment The parts assortment is amazing and I love the very fact that Homer comes with printed parts containing the remote control and donut. It is the very first time that we ever get such wonderful minifigures accessories. You can view the design details from his side view and back view including his bald head. Give me that donut! I am not going back to work... Watching Space Avengers My favourite Sci-Fi TV series! 2) Presenting Bart Simpson Next, we will be seeing the mischievous and chaotic fellow, known as Bart Simpson. He is one of the main characters in the Simpsons family and he will do anything to disturb your long desired peace. Even though he look just like your regular growing teenager, but he will always have something up in his sleeve. Bart is a self-proclaimed underachiever who is constantly in detention. He is easily distracted. His penchant for shocking people began before he was born. Bart's interests include Krusty the Clown, reading comic books, watching The Krusty the Clown Show, terrorising Lisa, playing video games and pulling off various pranks. Bart also sprays graffiti under the alias 'El Barto', and regularly frequents the Kwik-E-Mart and The Android's Dungeon. Parts assortment The part assortment is decent especially with the inclusion of the new designed skateboard which is exclusive for Bart's usage. The nice part about his minifigure design is that the printed body parts are combined together to form the catapult which is placed hidden at his back. You can also take a moment to see the side view of his half-sleeve red T-shirt design and back view. I believe his torso design is the same as the 71006 minifigure design. Check out that new kid on the block Some of the different designs of LEGO Skateboards in the CMFs Series Good switch for the body parts 3) Presenting Marge Simpson Our dear Marge Simpson, wife of Homer Simpson. She is a beautiful happy housewife and full-time mother of the Simpson family. She is the moralistic force in the family and often provides a grounding voice in the midst of her family's antics by trying to maintain order in the household. Aside from her core duties at home, Marge has flirted briefly with a number of careers ranging from police officer to anti-violence activist. Parts assortment The parts assortment for Marge Simpson is very good especially with the introduction of printed donut fancy tile and stylish handbag. I will love to equip it with other LEGO City minifigures for such accessories. Her hairpiece reveal a hole at the top of the hairpiece, but none of the hair accessory can fit in. You can view the fantastic details from the side view and back view. Her minifigure design is different from her housewife torso outfit in the 71006: The Simpsons House. Can anyone of you help me to buy a box of donuts? Now it's Marge's time to shine! 4) Presenting Lisa Simpson The next in the family is Lisa Simpson. She is a charismatic eight-year-old girl, who exceeds the standard achievement of intelligence level of children her age. Not to everyone's surprise, she is also the moral centre of her family. In her upbringing, Lisa lacks parental involvement of Homer and Marge, which leads to hobbies such as playing saxophone and guitar, riding and caring for horses, and interest in advanced studies. In school, Lisa's popularity is affected by those who view her as a geeky overachiever, which leaves her with only a few friends. Lisa Simpson is a smart, witty, independent girl who focuses on her goals and strives to reach her potential. Parts assortment The parts assortment is quite average. Other than the skirt cloth, the saxophone design is the one similar to the earlier version but with different colour coating. You can view more of her design details from her side view and back view. I believe her torso design is the same as the 71006 minifigure design. Brother and Sister Blue Brothers new addition Good usage of body parts 5) Presenting Maggie Simpson Now, we are going to introduce Maggie Simpson. She is the youngest child of Marge and Homer, and very pretty baby sister to Bart and Lisa. She is often seen sucking on her pacifier, and, when she walks, she trips over her clothing and falls on her face. Because she rarely ever talks, Maggie is the least seen and heard in the Simpson family. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty good, especially the inclusion of the new torso design which create an infant or baby design. It is a brand new design and is pretty much similar like a toddler. I will love to use this part to create more toddlers in many families in LEGO City. You can view the marvellous details from the side view and back view. Her accompanying accessory is the torn teddy bear which has obviously taken some beating. Her torso is the same as the 71006: The Simpsons House. Shall we get them? Four in a row What is going on? A happy family 6) Presenting Grampa Simpson To finish the last of the Simpsons Family members, we are going to present to you, Grampa Simpson, or simply as "Grampa". He is the patriarch of the Simpson family, father-in-law of Marge, the father of Homer and the grandfather of Bart, Lisa and Maggie. His real name is actually Abraham Simpson. He is a World War II veteran who was later sent to the Springfield Retirement Castle by Homer. He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty neat especially the inclusion of a new design for the newspaper printed tile. I am not familiar with the news headlines of and I had to rely on Google to tell me more about it. Apparently, the "Old Man Yells at Cloud" is about Grampa falls in love with Zelda, an old woman who has just moved in to the senior home in which Grampa lives. It is something along that line. You can notice the details of the old wrinkles and attire from his side view and back view. Great to have some company Good switch of the body parts 7) Presenting Ned Flanders Our dear Ned Flanders is the Simpson family's extremely religious next "diddly-door" neighbor. He is a genuinely well-meaning good-natured person. Though firmly religious, he can be timid and something of an easy pushover. He thoroughly worships God and strictly follows the Bible as literally as possible and is easily shocked when challenged on any point of dogma. He also owns the Leftorium and a home business, Flancrest Enterprises, which makes religious hook rugs. He also works as a member of the Springfield Volunteer Fire Department. Parts assortment The parts assortment is decent and it also include printed tool box and mug which is customised for Ned Flanders. You can view the facial details and appearance from his side view and back view. Do you want to come over for BBQ? Hello neighbours! I can be nice and tough! 8) Presenting Krusty the Clown Now we are in the entertainment spotlight, I will like to present Krusty the Clown. He is the typical cynical, burnt-out, addiction-riddled smoking clown host of Bart, Lisa and Maggie favourite TV show - The Krusty the Clown Show. Parts assortment The parts assortment is rather average. It only come with a different flavour cream pie. The unique and accurate feature is the headpiece of his distinct clown hair style. It is made up of hard ABS plastic. His looks kind of give me that creepy feeling though. You can view more of the details through the side view and back view. Come on, don't you want to have some cream pie? Clowns Entertainment Good switch of body parts 9) Presenting Milhouse Van Houten I am very pleased to present Bard's best friend, Milhouse Van Houten. His most distinctive physical traits are his extreme near-sightedness, requiring thick glasses to correct, and a huge nose that is about the size of a softball. Despite being believed to be a nerd, Milhouse has average intelligence yet has very poor social skills. He is also very gullible, thus he is constantly led into trouble by the mischievous Bart, who is not shy about taking advantage of his naive, trusting and loyal friend. Parts assortment The parts assortment is not too bad and it is a welcoming treat for Simpsons fan to be able to obtain the printed tile which feature Biclops comic book of a superhero wearing thick glasses similar to Milhouse. More of the comic details can be found in this "Worst Episode Ever". You can view the rest of his amazing details from his and side view and back view. New Superhero! When I grow up and look back Years later... 10) Presenting Ralph Wiggum Let me introduce Ralph Wiggum. He is a student who attends Springfield Elementary School. He is best known as the town's resident oddball, and has been immortalized for his non sequiturs and erratic behavior. His lines range from purely nonsensical, or bizarre interpretations of a current event, to surprisingly profound statements that go over people's heads. For this, Ralph is somewhat of an outcast among his peers, although he seems to be on good terms with a fair number of the other kids at school, such as Bart and Lisa Simpson and Milhouse. Parts assortment The parts assortment is good and it is a treat for Simpsons fan again to be able to obtain printed tile of "I Choo Choo Choose You". It is pretty nice to see Ralph focusing on expressing his love for Lisa in this episode. I also notice that his top of his head has a very cool whirl hair design that remain true to the original design. You can view the rest of the remaining details through the side view and back view. Can I ask you to be my date? Shall we exchange? What are you dreaming of? 11) Presenting Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Let's take a moment to welcome Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. In most cases, he will just liked to be called Apu. He is the operator of the Kwik-E-Mart similar to our real world 24/7 (7-Eleven) convenience stores. He is generally polite towards his customers, always saying thank you. However, he has had some negative traits, sometimes manipulating customers into buying things they don't really need. He has a bit of a paranoid nature, as evidenced by his once jumping behind a counter and then shouting threats to Bart and Lisa who were walking in to investigate a robbery that Krusty was framed for, and at least twice went up to the roof and started shooting his rifle at potential customers. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty good especially when we now have the chance to own the famous "Squishee Drink". I really like this character design very much and the design stay true to his original feature. You can view the rest of the details from his side view and back view. Who got the best drink? Beverage Sales 12) Presenting Nelson Muntz This fellow, Nelson Muntz, is the main bully and main antagonist of the series. Nelson is the leader of the bullies at Springfield Elementary School. He is often seen independently of the other bullies, and is Bart Simpson's former arch-enemy. He is still currently study at 4th grade which is most likely suggest that he is repeating his studies for a couple of years. Parts assortment The parts assortment is average and it does not come with great accessory other than a slightly different baseball bat that he used to beat people up. You can see some of the nice feature details from the side view and back view. Today is your unlucky day! Wanna play some baseball? Are you ready? 13) Presenting Itchy Come on everyone! This is the most ever popular Itchy! Itchy is a cartoon mouse from Itchy & Scratchy programme within The Simpsons animated sitcom. His enemy is Scratchy which you will have a chance to see him shortly. He usually always wins against Scratchy in their fights and usually ends up killing him. There is only one known episode where Scratchy wins and Itchy is killed. Parts assortment The parts assortment is average as it only come with a typical club but the nicest thing about this character is, you will be able to obtain the very first mouse cartoon character in LEGO form. I love mouse very much for some personal reason and it is pleasing to see it in LEGO minifigure size. Itchy has the same height like Yoda, which utilise the short legs. More of the stunning features can be seen in his side view and back view. We are best friends I am here for real Wanna wrestle? 14) Presenting Scratchy Now, let me introduce Itchy's partner and it is none other than Scratchy. Scratchy is a cartoon cat from the show Itchy & Scratchy, an obvious parody of Tom and Jerry. His enemy is Itchy, a mouse. In almost every episode, Scratchy is brutally hurt and sometimes killed by Itchy. Parts assortment The parts assortment is not too bad as it only come with a typical slightly different wooden axe which I will illustrate below. The beautiful thing about this character is, you will be able to obtain the very first tail accessory that can be equipped at the minifigures leg and this is an epic improvement instead of just drawing a tail at the minifigure's torso back. Even though the cat may not look too overly friendly, but this is the first LEGO cat cartoon character to be released in LEGO format. Take a moment to enjoy more of the stunning features in his side view and back view. Two different types of wooden axes The Itchy & Scratchy Show Let's finish this off Newcomers for the mascots 15) Presenting Chief Wiggum Now, we are looking at the law enforcement department in Springfield. Our Chief Wiggum is the head of police of the Springfield Police Department. He is an extreme stereotype of a lazy police officer (copper). Chief Wiggum is morbidly obese, straightforwardly indecent, ignorant, incompetent, and really lazy, with a fondness for doughnuts. While he pretentiously feigns authority, he has little regard for individual rights or even public safety. He is disturbingly uninformed and flaunts his power, albeit with good intentions most of the time. Parts assortment The parts assortment is average and I am quite surprised to see Chief Wiggum not holding a revolver. Instead, he is given a baton and a slightly different variation of a loud hailer. I supposed he need to use it to maintain law and order in Springfield. You can see the rest of the details from the side view and back view. You are under arrest! Police Department Doing a switch with the CMFs Series 9 Policeman 16) Presenting Mr. Burns Shall we meet the last and almighty character of Springfield? It is none other but Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns or simply Burns, is the main antagonist of The Simpsons. He is the owner and manager of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He is Springfield's richest and most powerful citizen. His net worth has been stated to be in the billions. Burns is very elderly and physically frail; regardless, he employs his evil, cruel, bitter, cynical, heartless and greedy tactics to get what he wants. Parts assortment The parts assortment is pretty good especially on the representation of the uranimum stick and radioactive three-eyed goldfish. He certainly retain the evil charm and is no doubt one of the biggest baddies in Springfield. You can see more of his detailed facial features from his side view and back view. I demand my profit! You are weak and feeble General Statistics for 71005 LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Simpsons Series Below is the combination which I have received from my box, 5 Homer Simpson(s) 5 Bart Simpson(s) 5 Marge Simpson(s) 4 Lisa Simpson(s) 4 Maggie Simpson(s) 3 Grampa Simpson(s) 4 Ned Flanders(s) 4 Krusty the Clown(s) 3 Milhouse Van Houten(s) 3 Ralph Wiggum(s) 3 Apu Nahasapeemapetilon(s) 3 Nelson Muntz(s) 4 Itchy(s) 4 Scratchy(s) 3 Chief Wiggum(s) 3 Mr. Burns(s) Based on the above distribution, I have managed to achieve only three full complete sets of 16 one-of-a kind minifigures each. It means I will have 12 remaining random spares left. Read down to find out what are the remaining spares I have. My remaining spares 2 Homer Simpson(s) 2 Bart Simpson(s) 2 Marge Simpson(s) 1 Lisa Simpson(s) 1 Maggie Simpson(s) 0 Grampa Simpson(s) 1 Ned Flanders(s) 1 Krusty the Clown(s) 0 Milhouse Van Houten(s) 0 Ralph Wiggum(s) 0 Apu Nahasapeemapetilon(s) 0 Nelson Muntz(s) 1 Itchy(s) 1 Scratchy(s) 0 Chief Wiggum(s) 0 Mr. Burns(s) Data Analysis Based on the complete new data which I have complied, I have indicated my basic analysis based on my own take. Buying one full complete MISB box will allow you to achieve three maximum complete unique sets. I cannot believe that I will ever see three maximum complete unique sets for a complete MISB box. I am very elated to see the return of such distribution once more and it will allow box buyers to have better value for money. I thought the new distribution which is being considered for a full box of 30 is going to be permanent and I am wondering if the full box of 30 will be made available for the LEGO Simpsons Series and I am certainly wondering what could the new distribution be. For sure, I will probably not see a lot of people searching and gather at the LEGO shops to touch and feel for an extensive long period. This is probably for the first or second time ever in the LEGO Minifigures Collectable history that there is no specific army building minifigures unlike previous LEGO CMFs Series. All of these current 16 minifigures designs are specific characters in the Simpsons universe, where you don't need an army of an individualistic characters. Practically, you don't need a huge army of Homer or Bart, other than separate the parts into different usage for your LEGO collection. I also felt that the highest distribution ratio is given to the Simpsons Family, as they are considered the most iconic and highly sought for minifigures when they are looking for the main characters to complete. While, giving much smaller characters a lesser ratio of 3 per box. All in all, I think they did an excellent job in this distribution allocation. Kudo to you guys! Overall, I am extremely pleased with the way in how the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series distribution listing. What do you guys think about this round of distribution? Do you share the same sentiments? To conclude and summaries, based on the probability demonstrated by this review, as an example, here are the results, High probability 1) Homer Simpson(s) 2) Bart Simpson(s) 3) Marge Simpson(s) Total range: 25% Each: 8.33% Medium probability 1) Lisa Simpson(s) 2) Maggie Simpson(s) 3) Ned Flanders(s) 4) Krusty the Clown(s) 5) Itchy(s) 6) Scratchy(s) Total range: 40% Each: 6.67% Low probability 1) Grampa Simpson(s) 2) Milhouse Van Houten(s) 3) Ralph Wiggum(s) 4) Apu Nahasapeemapetilon(s) 5) Nelson Muntz(s) 6) Chief Wiggum(s) 7) Mr. Burns(s) Total range: 35% Each 5% The LEGO Simpsons Series will be launching on the 1st May 2014 or 1st June 2014 (worldwide) To conclude, the LEGO Minifigures – The LEGO Simpsons Series has done a remarkable job to introduce more new minifigures designs into this new minifigure theme, even though it is not directly classified under the LEGO Collectable Minifigures category. The time and effort to invest and create the whole LEGO Simpsons Minifigures right from the scratch is indeed an incredible feat, especially the drawings to render and create the Simpsons facial designs that is very iconic and true to the original homage. Although I am not a full pledged Simpsons fan, but through the release of these minifigures, I have learnt to appreciate them very much which make me felt pretty positive towards this entire new approach. On a very positive note, I totally enjoy the different forms of integration throughout my different LEGO Themes in my collection, to re-create in their theme settings in Simpsons style. I will like to point out, and I am very sure I am not blind. The quality of the LEGO Simpsons Series is certainly made up of high quality ABS plastic which we are very familiar with. It is not the same design quality or the same production line that was done for all previous LEGO CMFs. I do not see any marked indent at the armpit of the minifigures which we will normally associate the production to somewhere in Mainland China. Unless, of course, TLG may have removed such identification. I strongly believe that the entire production line for the LEGO Simpsons has improved, even though at the back of the packaging state the components is made in Mainland China, while the main bulk of it is manufactured in Billund, Denmark. I do believe the components which they are referring to, is most likely to be the head design of the iconic and unique LEGO Simpsons head pieces. Now with a total of 208 minifigures released for the entire Series 1 to 11, the recent LEGO Movie Series and the current LEGO Simpsons Series, not including Mr. Gold which unfortunately I do not have the blessings to own it and the recent acquired Toy Soldier that can only be obtained through The Minifigures Character Encylopedia. I have reviewed this entirely and present it as an individual iconic series under the minifigures umbrella. This entire theme had truly evolved and transformed to a brand new endless dimension which I strongly believe will continue to marvel all of us with their future releases. With this LEGO Simpsons Series releasing soon, I really wonder if we can catch up with this fast and furious releases that TLG is putting out in the market. Time will tell. We will know what will be the next new exciting LEGO Minifigures Series that will be coming to our way in a matter of next few months. Please note that the The LEGO Movie Series do not contain the placement of LEGO spare parts/accessories. This was practiced since the start of LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 3. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Complete new LEGO Minifigures platform which can be used to integrate with other fellow LEGO Themes with The Simpsons together.) Design: 10/10 (My highest ratings ever for the quality of design especially with the new detailed designed head moulds.) Price: 7/10 (I believe the SRP will be on the high side due to the newly invested head moulds. Quality is pretty good.) Overall: 9/10 (One of my super high ratings ever and it is indeed worthwhile for you to continue this minifigures collecting conquest.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card.
