Sir Brickalot

Thanks everyone!

Wooohooo! Certainly my kind of contest!

Just done a review on MM, hopefully it will convince those who are still on the fence to get one!

Welcome woon_tze! If you collect Superheroes, I'd check out the new Martian Manhunter promo, he's great!

That looks fantabulous. Keep it up!

Don't you just love freebies? Especially when it's a super-cool exclusive minifigure! Martian Manhunter is available at Lego Stores and Shop@Home when you spend £50/$75 in March. So without further udo, let's get on with the review! Name: Martian Manhunter Set Number: 5002126 Piece Count: 4 Minifigures: 1 Links: Brickset Disclaimer: Martian Manhunter will be known as MM throughout this review as his name is quite a mouthful Packaging The packaging is the standard polybag, could be spruced up a bit, but I don't know how you could. Here's the front, with MM trying to pull off a Superman pose as he flies past Earth. Superman had better watch out, MM's got some moves! The back of the packaging is yawn, just like most polys. I do like the 1:1 picture though, as it adds some colour to the otherwise boring back. Anyway, enough of the packaging let's get to the... Contents! If you were expecting a bag full to the brim with parts, you'd be mistaken. As you can see, there is no printing on the neck, which means this is from, *gasps* somewhere else (mind you, it says 'components made in China' on the packaging, so it wasn't that much of a shock, but still, ) Build Don't worry, I won't do a step-by-step build of the minifig with you, I'm sure you all know how to build one (but if you do not, I'd recommend you see a doctor immediately ) The Finished Set! Here he is, in all his glory! As you can see, MM is a very detailed minifig. He even has printing on his legs (however that has become standard nowadays) and his face looks rather menacing. I also love the cape, it is a lovely blue- as you can see, I'm not very good with the names of Lego Colours, I need Aanchir! - but if you look underneath that cape, you'll find some delicious back printing! Looks great! Ratings (out of 5) Packaging: 3, standard polybag, could be spruced up a bit, but I don't know how you could. Contents: 4, only minifig parts, however all of a good quality. Would've killed for an Oreo piece though Build: 4, it takes 10 secnds at the most. Finished Set: 5, brilliant minifigure, one of my favourites! Overall: 16/20 Conclusion: I am very happy with this minifigure. Whilst some are questioning why we got a Martian Manhunter minfig before a non-exclusive Green Lantern minifig, I am just glad we got one full stop, and relatively easy to get. So go and spend your money on a substanial set at S@H, and I'm sure you will love this extra freebie on top of your order. Heck, get one on Ebay (for a REASONABLE price) if you're not keen on getting a set, as this minifig is not one you'll want to miss. Thanks for reading my first review here! I hope it's helpful to you. Comments are welcome as always! Bonus The JLA minifigures greet the new arrival, whilst Sir Brickalot thinks to himself: I need that Flash minifigure.

Welcome to the forums Chris!

I'm speechless! Great MOC!

Oh, good, that makes more sense

I bought Rocka Stealth Machine earlier. Very pleased with the set!

I'm lovin' MM, got him today and he looks fantabulous! More fantabulous than ever before!

Nice review! Got this set last year and I love it.

Just had the best experience ever at the Lego store. I purchased: 40019 Brickley, on sale for £1.49 44019 Rocka Stealth Machine 70811 The Flying Flusher 70813 Rescue Reinforcements And TWO Martian Manhunters! I had trouble with my VIP card, so I was there for ten minutes whilst a lovely assistant was trying to merge my points onto my other account which I accidentally set up. She was very helpful, and because I waited for a while she put an extra £5 on my card and two MMs! How amazing is that?!

Thanks for the answers guys! I'm gonna go for Kai Fighter. Another question : which Mixels set is best?

Cool MOC! I like all the little details, especially the periscope.

^ Arkam Asylum all the way. A better build, minifig selection and you'll just have fun with it overall. I don't have it myself, but from what I've seen, it looks phenomenal. My question is this: Cloud Cuckoo Land or Kai Fighter? I'm leaning towards Kai Fighter, but I'd like some other opinions. Thanks. EDIT: Forgot to mention I need an answer ASAP as I'm going to the Lego store tomorrow. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more.

I'm listening to The Lego Movie soundtrack. I particularly like the one titled 'I am a Master Builder'.

Awesome! Could you add some minifigs (e.g. Batman, Benny etc)? That would be the icing on the cake!

No it doesn't, just put your microscale MOC in the theme it corresponds to. You'll get used to it.

Thanks DraikNova, the wings are very wing-like in my opinion, especially from the top. Might snap a pic of the top of the wings soon along with black talons.

Amazing work!

Adorable! I want one! Umm, not sure I want one now

The postponement was inevitable. Couldn't believe how many tickets were sold in such a short amount of time.
