Masked Builder

Well I've been thinking about that, and I've got a good idea. But unless I get it you'll never find out.

Thanks guys! Okay fine, he has back printing, but I still say he's boring. I didn't say they were, just new/interesting.

Well ACPin has been saying that we should be seeing the B-Wing soon...

Excellent work Mood! I'm a big fan of the ARF trooper, seeing him in Chibi is even better. I hope to see some color variants on the trooper!

"I believe I have three." Alexis sighs. "Fine, I'll fix the dumb pants when we get back."

"You're welcome." She says as he takes the whip. "I'd better get that back! I suppose he could yes, there are only four of us. Why do I need to take the tonic?" Alexis stares as he rips part of his pants off. "Great! Now I'm going to have to fix those!"

"Good job Althior, not sure why you want to use a garnet. Well we could always try Ocven. Though I've yet to try out this ruby... Who knows what my ruby summons will be."

What? No more Arthur? Well, I understand if you want too, but I don't think you should, just try to work with what you have.

I saw this briefly over on Flickr. It's amazing! You've all done a wonderful job. Would it be possible to get some instructions for them? I'd love to have a Glados around.

"I know, I just wanted to use a synonym rather than say Violetta."

Alexis whispers back. "Well I could always send Mandy back to try to give them a message of where we're going. We'll try to get all of the items back. He should be ashamed of her like Kayla said."

Thanks guys! I haven't even gotten to my Avengers sets yet. But yes, probably one of the better DC line sets.

It just came out, I doubt it. Probably just an error.

He did wear a cape, but only in the crowning scene in RotK.

I never had any Superhero anything while I was growing up, so I'm just learning about all of them as the LEGO sets come out. When I saw the Superman set, I was fairly happy with it. Two great figures and one rather boring one. Again, most of the reason I got this set was for the minifigures, but are they what I expected? The mech looked pretty good, but it's one of those things you have to have to know. I picked this up at the LEGO store while I was waiting for them to have the Batcave. Name: Superman vs. Power-Armor Lex Set Number: 6862 Pieces: 207 Price: $19.99 Ages: 6-12 Minifigs: 3 Theme: Superheroes Year of Release: 2012 Bricklink Brickset S@H Full Flicker gallery here. Box: The box is oddly oriented; the flaps to open it are on the top and bottom, rather than the sides. But the art looks pretty good, Superman trying to rescue Wonder Woman from Lex's grip, on a nice city background. The back of the box has your usual functions pictures, along with an alternate image of the mech fighting the Heroes. I really like the dark blue and yellow color scheme. And the 1:1 image is of Superman, this picture is his CG form and not the real figure, it looks a bit odd if you ask me. Manual: On the front of the manual is the same art that is on the front of the box. In the upper right corner, we see Superman in his "Superman" pose ready for action, and in the lower right, we have his logo. On the first page we build the minifigures, and it also has a rather large warning ad in two languages, one is Spanish it appears. The light blue background really appeals to me. On some of the pages, we have Batman, Joker, and Superman, all faded out. Which I think really adds a nice "Superheroes" touch to the set. Then on one of the later pages, we have a great looking ad for the new Superheroes game. It really has a sense of motion, and I think captures the feel of the Superheroes. Comic: Now we get to the comic, with this one being comic three. Again, we see the three Superheroes, ready for action, and most of the villains heads present in the upper right corner. This looks a lot like Gotham city to me. The first page of the comic has an ad for the sets, and then starts with the Catwoman comic. On the second page we finish the Catwoman comic, and then see an ad with all of the figures from the current line of Superheroes. Then we get to the Superman set comic, not going to be many words from me here. "ZZZZZAT!!!" "BOOM!" "CRRRSH!!" The back cover has Superman and Batman looking at the Batcomputer, not sure why Superman's looking at it though... Minifigures: Now we get to the minifigures! My favorite part to most any set. From left to right we have, Wonder Woman, Superman, and Lex Luthor. All three have new heads, while only Superman and Wonder Woman have new torso print. Wonder has a new hair mold with a crown, and black curly hair. She's also got a new torso print, as well as some legs with great printing! I think her figure is pretty accurate. Superman has a new hair mold, and a new torso print, that I think is a perfect match to him. Lex is rather boring overall, he just has the tux print and almost the same head as Superman. There isn't to much to see on the back of the minifigures, though you can really see that Wonder Woman's hair really is curly. Superman and Wonder Woman both have back print and alternate head print. Though Superman looks oddly happy to me... I'll finish this section with a fun "battle" scene. I'm very happy with all of these guys, Wonder Woman's lasso has a great new mold, and Superman's hair is a perfect match. Parts: We have four "new" parts for this set, the large green piece used on the legs; the trans-clear windscreen has edges on the two long sides, then the other two slope pieces in purple and trans-light green parts. Three extra parts, nothing to special for me, and no cheese slopes present in this set. The Build: We shall move onto the build! First you build the two legs and the hips. Nothing to special to note here. Then you build the upper torso and the arms. Then you slide the top onto the Technic axle and you're done! It was a very simple build process, but you do have to be careful not to break those joints. Complete Model: Here's a shot of the completed set. I'm very happy with my purchase; it's definitely worth the $20. You get Superman, Wonder Woman, and a great mech to battle it out with. The mech, while simple, is still very well built and quite tough. The front is of course the only side you're supposed to see, so it looks pretty good. There's a lot less to view from the side, though you can see how thick the upper body is. And the back, you know this doesn't look too bad. You have the backpack as well as the feet. Though the back of the legs don't look too good. The gun, LEGO has stuck the crystal inside a little "glass" case and has it wired up to the gun so it shoots it. A cute little detail that I think works very well. Here's an up-close shot of the backpack. It's good to get some of those dome pieces again. For some odd reason, the two lower arms are built differently. The left one has to be the way it is otherwise it couldn't hold the gun, but the other one should be the same way. It's only a difference of about four parts; it couldn't be that much more expensive. Final Thoughts: This set really has that "Superman" feel for me. (What little I know about him.) The mech has a great color scheme, anything with green is good by me, and the minifigures are well designed. Why then I am so skeptical about it? I think it has something to do with playing with the set; I've never played with me sets too much, though I do swoosh my starships around quite a bit. This set really seems geared towards someone who plays with their sets, though LEGO did a good job by including to amazing figures in this set. So I guess I am happy with it. Ratings: Playability: 9/10 I could see a little kid playing with this for quite a while with different scenarios. Design: 8/10 It's designed pretty well, like any LEGO mech, the back of the legs are a bit lacking. Price: 10/10 The $20 LEGO is asking for this is quite reasonable, I feel that I got my money's worth out of it. Minifigures: 9/10 All of the minifigures in this set are good except for Lex, that tux torso just doesn't do it for me. Parts: 8/10 I feel this set is a bit lacking in the parts department, nothing to new or special. Total: 44/50 We're in the 40's with this set, a great score! "Let go of me!"

Alexis summons Skorpios and has him grab Kayla with his pincers so she can't escape. "Let's go to the hovels."

"That sounds like it'd work Althior. Let's do it. You always were smart." She kisses him on the cheek. "See you at the top!"

"Alright, that's what I would like to do. I seem to recall that she said we had to capture her and return the items, half the quest isn't bad."

Alexis turns to her fellow quest mates. "Well guys, what do you want to do? I want to return the items to their houses. Though I'd expect we'd fail the quest."

"The items wouldn't be for ourselves, they'd be given back to their respective houses."

"I would, but I could never keep one. How many is a few? And where would we meet to discuss with him?"

"No I am afraid we will not. Captain Patricia!" Alexis yells. "We have someone you might like to talk to!"
