Masked Builder

Alexis looks over at the bartender. "Hush Justin, we're not crazy." OOC: I should have been level 44.4 after the PM portion of the quest. We've had what, 4 fights since then? I get 1/5 of level per battle.

"So are you going to kill yourself or what?" Alexis says with her hands on her hips, doing nothing.

"I'd rather just kill him myself." Alexis says to herself.

"Yeah, well let me know when you do."

Okay so I'm a little late with my thoughts on the images from AoU. Over all I'm super excited for this movie. However, I am not in love with the hair they've chosen for Black Widow, I'm hoping it's just the angle. Cap, Iron man, and Ultron all look amazing though!

"Take that! Bet you thought I couldn't hit hard huh?" Alexis says as she repeats.

"Well this isn't surprising." Alexis swings her fan at Bors from the front row.

"I said I didn't care! If you're so inclined to whack them, let's do it then."

Don't make me take it back!

"Well if we attack him fine, but I'm inclined to let him pass." Alexis says with a sigh.

Alexis downs the brandy. "Well, time for me to go to bed." She heads to her room.

Wow, you really did capture the Spectacular Spiderman vibe here. I like how you've captured Vulture, I've got my version sitting somewhere. I need to buckle down and do a Spidey MOC...

Hmm, she thinks to herself. "I'd like a Flame Distilled Brandy."

"Why yes, thank you very much." She says with her charming smile.

Thank you all for the kind words! I too will be picking up at least one more. Two if I can. And yes I did know where that part came from. This is just the second time it's been in another set.

"Things seem to keep happening..." Alexis sighs, not elaborating. "Seems we're both on the same page. Glad to see you're still safe." "Nice to meet you too Keith." She says smiling and then tosses her hair.

Alexis goes over to the girl. "Nice to see you again Samantha. How are you doing?"

Hoping to get it up tonight - In reference to my latest review, I was hoping to get it up that night. Of course it didn't happen. Judging from profile visitors, Fangy or Rick. More inclined to believe Fangy. Can't forget that sneaky back way too.

OOC: Hey guys, I will be without internet until Saturday at the earliest. Sorry! PL has control of Alexis. Don't do anything dumb.

"Well that took long enough."Alexis looks at her other party members. "Well I'm ready to go."

Firstly, a HUGE thank you to LEGO for sending me this wonderful set, and to Eurobricks for letting me do this review. When I first heard this was going to be a set, designed by Mark Stafford no less, I was super excited to see what he would do for us. When the wonderful promo video was posted last week, it looked better than I had hoped. Set Information: Name: Exosuit Set Number: 21109 Pieces: 321 Price: $34.99 Ages: 12+ Minifigs: 2 Theme: LEGO Ideas Year of Release: 2014 Brickset Flickr Set Box: The front of the box has a moon background, along with what appears to be a space base. (Though possibly the space ship where the Exosuit was discovered) It also features the Exosuit logo, and the LEGO Ideas logo. Let me say now that I was surprised at how small the box was. There is very little extra room in this box. The back shows an alternate image for the set as well as the names for the astronauts; Pete and Yve. Along the left hand side, there's a small blurb about how the LEGO Ideas program works. And the 1:1 image is of Pete our first Classic Green Spaceman! Contents: There were four bags in the box, along with two loose pieces. I'm naming this printed tile the "Mark Stafford." I just love the print so much. Can you believe this is my first one??? The new plant bowls are pretty neat too. And here are our extra parts. The number of extra parts surprised me actually. Manual: The front of the manual has the same image as the box. It also shows the sheer number of languages that this manual is printed with. Seriously, it's a lot. And note that this manual is bound nicely like the Architecture theme. The first page goes into detail about the making of the set, this page also shows some classic space sets. The second page has more details about the making of the set as well as Mark and Pete. The next four tell the back story that, I assume, Pete created for the model, accompanied by some lovely pictures. The manual is printed in black and I had no problems with coloring. Every few pages, there is a small picture and some text describing all of the parts that are on the Exosuit. One of the last pages goes much more into detail about the LEGO Ideas process. We have a new WIN! image! I think this minifigure looks much more like an AFOL. Minifigures: Here we have Pete and Yve! They're your typical neo-classic space men. There's really not a whole lot to Class Spacemen. No back print, or double sided heads. The Build: After the minifigures you build the turtle. It's great to see one of Pete's more popular MOCs in a LEGO set. Then the little stand thingy. And lastly you get to the suit! First you build the body Then the legs. And lastly the arms. Then your Exo Suit is complete! Finished Model: And the completed set! I was expecting just the suit, but I won't say no to one of Pete's turtle bots as well as an extra astronaut. The turtle just looks great. Mark threw just enough silver parts in to make it look mechanical. The only problem I have is the guns aren't big enough. I'm not sure what to call this other than a play feature; because that's all it adds to the set. For how simple it is, I think it looks pretty damn good. Front view. Wow, it just looks SO good! The greebling is perfect, the color blocking is good, and Mark did a great job hiding the various Technic/Bionicle parts the make up the joints. Side view. I think this is the worst possible view for this set. You can see all of the connecting bits. And the back. It's obviously not supposed to be viewed from behind, but I think it doesn't actually look too bad. Were you starting to wonder where this was? It's just such a sweet piece and I actually didn't have any before now. Most of the greebeling is here; so here's a close up of the wonderful work Mark did with this. It is very flexible, allowing for wonderful poses like this one. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this guy. Took a little balancing, but I did manage to pose this way too. The hands work quite well, he has no problem holding the barrels. This is the closest thing I have to a LEGO mecha built right now. Wow that Ent is big. Conclusion: Have I mentioned how much I love this set? I can't imagine what else I would add to this to make it better. It's just that good. The greebling is excellent, the pose-ability is great, and it just looks awesome. I think this would make a great discussion pieces on ones desk at work. Great job Mark, Pete, and the LEGO team! I already planning on getting a second. Ratings: Playability: 8/10 For what it is, it's pretty sturdy and I can see a child playing with this. Design: 7/10 I took a few points off here because it isn't exactly like Pete's original model, but it's still great. Price: 10/10 $35 seems perfect for this set. Minifigures: 9/10 I am just in love with the Green Classic Spacemen. Parts: 8/10 This set not only gives you a great main model, but it's an excellent parts pack too. Total: 42/50 "When is it my turn?!" Like this review? Want to learn how to make good reviews? Then join the Reviewers Academy!

"Why won't you fall?!" Alexis says as she swings her fan again.
