No no. I just asked my comic shop to add it to my pull list. So I'm also looking in to: Fantastic Four (2014 Reboot) Inhumans Punisher Miss Marvel Elektra
-
The only thing I'm currently reading is Amazing Spiderman. (I am looking around for some other stuff) I'm not too into Hawkeye.

Alexis goes to the door and looks out at the weater, looking for anything unusual. "I don't like this," she says to herself.
-
"Odd. Seems like a fun job, problem solving is enjoyable."
-
Is anyone reading the current Black Widow series? I'm thinking about picking it up.
-
Yes the links are quite helpful, some of the stuff I don't remember. True, I was just hoping to be level 50 by the end. Poison Ivy!

"What do Were-Raves do?" She asks, curious.
-
I had to take off my medal too.
-
"Good. Had an unfortunate run in with a Crowkin earlier. It didn't end well, for him. As you said I am from Heroica and am here business. At least for today." She pauses. "And I'm glad you like my new outfit." Alexis smiles.
-
Alexis goes over to the Crowkin. "Hello there. Do you work for J. Smith?"
-
Alexis takes off the medal and puts on he medallion. OOC: Aw.
-
"I'll do whatever is necessary to keep you safe." Alexis accepts the medallion and puts it on, taking off the cloak.
-
"That's not to say that a few of my friends didn't die. Good people." She says with an air of regret.
-
"Of course we lived, Heroica survives. We all lived, though some have become worse for wear."
-
"Well look who it is. Nice to see you too XX." Alexis says with almost a sneer. "Where were you planning on going?" OOC: Yes, it's just called a quiver because I had a bow when I got it.

"Good idea Nerwen." Alexis takes the cloak and puts it on, then hands her quiver to Matthias. "I expect to get that back."
-
"Well, it is what it is. I was going to bring along the girl I rescued, but she's going to Ve'er, not out to sea. And yes, let's get moving."
-
"Doesn't surprise me. He was a bit odd in the head." "Speaking of being waylaid, I rescued a girl from a Crowkin. Which reminds me, where are we going Johnny?"

Mafia After Dark - Epilogue: Sunset
Masked Builder replied to Tamamono's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
1. What is your mafia experience here on EB? How about other sites? Played several games, hosted one too. Played in-person quite a bit but not on any other sites. 2. What do you think of your performance in EB Mafia so far? What are your strengths and weakness? What do you want to improve? Decent, I don't post a lot, and my arguing skills stink. I tend to lurk, but I do have my own opinions. Arguing skills really need some work. 3. What do you think of private voting? Will you abide by the rules and regulations I set out for it? Nothing wrong with that. In-fact it seems like an improvement, because you will have to look for other incriminating evidence. 4. Have you read Mafia: After Dark? (This does not affect your chances of getting in - I'm just curious). No. Unless I was involved, I don't tend to read them. -
"Nice to see you too, Johnny. It's been a while. And yes I'm still single." She grins.
-
Picked up ASM, thinking I'm going to get FF too. Anyone here read Original Sin? I'm not sure what to think.

The Trevi Fountain is a wonderful piece of architecture in Rome. I looked it up when I learned I was getting the set, it's really a wonderful piece of sculpting. As an architecture set, there are no minifigures, which are a main draw for me, but as an engineer these sets look quite good. Thank you to LEGO and Bonaparte for letting me do this review! Set Information: Name: Trevi Fountain Set Number: 21020 Pieces: 731 Price: £49.00 Ages: 12+ Theme: Architecture Year of Release: 2014 Brickset Bricklink Flickr Set Box: The box is the typical set up for Architecture sets; black and minimalist. However, this is the European box so it doesn't have a part count on the front. On the back we have the usual information about the set and the real location. The sides of the box show some alternating images as well as the set name in some other languages. On the bottom of the box there is a huge block of warnings. The 1:1 image is of one of the 1x2 trans light blue tiles. I find the faded image of the set really intriguing. Contents: Inside the box there are six bags, the manual, and the survey sheet. None of these are new, just recolors, however, it's still nice to have them. I'm really excited to get some 1x1 trans clear tiles! Lots of extra 1x1 parts, including some tiles. Manual: The manual front has the same image of the front of the box and it also says what languages the manual has. On the first page this lovely print of the real structure greets you. The manual is laid out nicely I had no problems with colors. We also have some nice "fun-facts" on every few pages about the real structure. This was the only slightly confusing part. LEGO did a great job showing which parts were being put down, they outlined them in red so it's clear. Seems like someone always asks for this page, so here it is. It didn't want to cooperate for the picture though. Interestingly, there was this survey sheet also packed in the box. It's great to see LEGO looking for our feedback! The Build: The build progresses quickly enough. It was a bit slow putting down the water tiles. Adding the windows was rather time intensive, you had two separate x12 builds. This was a fun build. The rock work and the windows were quite fun to build. Finished Model: There is actually quite a bit of depth to this model. So many offsets to make the model. From the side you can see how far out the fountain pool goes out, as well as some of the very many cool offsets. This set is obviously not meant to be viewed from this angle. But this shows you the trans blue bricks that add some great depth to the windows. I'm not sure if I like the horses. The legs just seem to out of proportion. They do integrate well with the rocks. There are so many offsets here, I don't know where to begin. The four 1x1 cones are supposed to be statues. Here you can see the depth that the blue bricks behind the trans clear ones add. It really adds a great level of detail. The fountain starts up by the statue in the middle, then cascades down to the middle of the pool. LEGO did a great job giving it a fluid feel. I had a hard time finding a picture of what the LEGO set represents. This shot was the best one I found. But from it you can really tell how good a job LEGO did recreating this wonderful piece of Architecture at this small scale. One last shot with my sigfig to give you a sense of scale. Conclusion: I really do think this set is nice. For representing such a large structure, LEGO did a great job taking it and making it at this small scale. There are few discernible details at this size, but to make it as large and detailed as it would need to be, I'd see it at about the size of the latest Arkham Asylum set. The water and rock work is exceptional. Ratings: Design: 8/10 For the size it is, LEGO did a great job designing it. Price: 8/10 £50 is about $60, which seems reasonable for a 700 piece set. Parts: 9/10 There is a large selection of white parts, and those 1x1 trans clear tiles are just great to own! Total: 25/30 Like this review? Want to learn how to make good reviews?
