How much to take that Jagdpanther off your hands? ;-) *wub* Great job! Did you use Brickarms? I notice several are from there, like the Mauser and some of the uniforms. *sweet* Good work ON!

Pics of the Agents Line
trooperdavinfelth replied to Hinckley's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Yes, that's Doctor Inferno. *sweet* Well, I think the colors are pretty consistent! Lots of Dark blue, silver, and yellow for the Agents, and orange, black, and... More orange for the Infernos! Those were already seen in Lego's 2008 Catalogue or something. ;-) -

Dude, you always have to expect everything and nothing from TLC. In this case, expect everything! If they don't put in sharks, I'll... >:-( -
Well, remember the first Factory sets like the one with the tiny Ferris Wheel and the tiny Airport? They were $100 apiece, I think...

That's OK; the best way to restate your opinion or thoughts is wait for someone else to say it for their first time; then agree with them. ;-) Patience, my friend. Time will tell...
-
One hundred each, my friend. I wouldn't be in tears(note above post) if it weren't that high. :'-(

:-D I wouldn't say that in public... You might end up with a bucket over one head and a leg injury evidently caused by a hammer... 8-| Still sad ON... *sad*

Rotten spoiled kid brickshelf gallery
trooperdavinfelth replied to Trudop561's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Agreed! Besides, a kid wouldn't have that many organization abilities. :-P Did you notice that he only has the Indy truck chase, the Indy motorcycle chase, Clone BPs, Droid BPs, Rebel BPs, Imperial BPs, two Hoth Bases, and apparently a bunch of minifigs. :-/ Besides, it's a VERY spoiled kid who can walk up to mom and say GIMME W CLONE BPs, X DROID BPs, Y REBEL BPs, AND Z IMPERIAL BPs, AND I WANT THEM IN THIS HOUSE PRONTO! Then the mom, frightened of what the kid might do, runs out of the house and buys out all the TRUs and Wal-Marts in the town. :-D -
Sighhh, he was such a great Mod. Always the first to calm down the many arguments I got into. :-$ I'll miss him for sure; he was one of the few Mods who tried to sound like a normal member most of the time, like Hinckley and Sinner. He made many a stay comfortable and enjoyable, but I'll wait 'till the statement from Jipay before I say anymore. Does it have to do with what he wrote in the other topic? It seemed unlike him, almost spiteful to Jipay... 8-| Well, new forum ON, no SW4J OFF, and statement from Jipay ON! *sad*
-
Point one grand, or as everyone else can understand, a hundred bucks. :'-( The Skulls' look amazing! I think the reason the figs are sticker'd is because the Factory won't allow for use of new torsos. Or new heads. >:-( That's what I can't stand about City and Space: NO NEW HEADS! Anyways, I might get the Skulls set for the sweet uniforms and the vehicles, but the SJ, I'll need to see the rest of the instructions, which I will do right now. Space *skull* ON, Old heads OFF, Stickered torsos OFF!

Yes, it has been mentioned already. I'm guessing it's a flexible quiver!
-
I for one like the new 'falling bricks' background and the logo! I think jipay did a great job, so congratulations to him for a sucessful move! Also, I notice the board is no longer slow! *y*

trooperdavinfelth replied to Hinckley's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Agreed! It'll probably have a base inside for Doctor Inferno, but the Agents can trigger something that will trigger a trap which will make the lava in one way or another fly up and consume the evil guys! Oh wait, that's at least PG-13. :-P -
Battlefield: Comic #2. 'Interrogation'
trooperdavinfelth replied to Clonecommando007's topic in Brick Flicks & Comics
Agreed, and well said! :-D Totally agreed. *sweet* Great comic! -
OK, the last time I made a topic like this one, it didn't get any replys. I didn't want to double post so I waited and watched it melt down into nothing. So don't blame me for making a new topic; I'm just trying not to break the rules. PM privileges. They were lost when I was chambered. How do I get them back? I've heard rumors that leveling up in post count gets you them back, but I'm a Count and I still can't PM. So can someone PLEASE tell me where to get them back from?
-
For goodness's sakes, would you PLEASE stop telling us you hate the new minifigs? I'm sorry, but it's getting old. And at least blame Lucasarts for making such a dumb-looking animated series(in your point of view). P.S. I will now steal your word, goodyness! Hope you don't mind... :-$ It's the 'skirt'kama that ARC troopers have. ;-)
-
Well DUH! If this was a petition in the Embassy, it'd go sky-high. But since it's here we can have speculatory discussion. There's no need to pull a drive-by, shooting people's positive opinion down. The moment I saw Jar-Jar as a Rook, I knew it wasn't Lego. ;-)
-
The bike, as Vader said, is OK. Just OK. Although the guns look like crap. The one that yellow guy(what's up with his shirt?) is holding looks like a disruptor rifle I saw in Knights of the Old Republic 2, but in this. Stay where you belong, twenty-thousand years ago! :-P
-
Yeah, only one real warrior in the catapult(could've had two; look at the Crown Knight catapult, two crownies, two skellies) and one miner prisoner in the warship. It'd be neat if there was a rift between the Dwarf Kingdom and that of the Elves so they wouldn't always be allies, but they'd fight the same enemies. I like my personal-made Castle RPG battles confusing. :-P

trooperdavinfelth replied to boxcar3's topic in Culture & Multimedia
I also noticed that the three bag-carriers are no longer all the same! Two have Jock's face and one has a red torso, the other, blue. 8- -
That made me LOL! :-D I'm pretty sure the intended abbreviation was... Oh heck, you know it. :-P

Bionicle 2001 and beyond: An essay of personal thoughts.
trooperdavinfelth replied to VBBN's topic in LEGO Action Figures
Sighhh... You and VBBN are absolutely right. When the line first came out, my brother and I collected each figure intentively; they were something new and cool. We read the comics and kept collecting until 2005 came. I saw the Hordika and I realized what Lego was doing. They were just going on and on with the same old characters. My brother agreed. We'd hoped TLC would give us something better next year. 2006 came, and when I saw the Piraka, I said to myself 'Gimme a break, Lego.' Lego didn't give me a break, but I gave myself one. Never collected Bionicle since. Since the good old days of Bohrok, Vahki, Makuta, Rahkshii, and Toa Nuva, I haven't collected any Bionicle. None at all. No Rahaga, no Hordika, no Visorak, no more 'Titans'(OK, I just don't like the word; it seems un-Bionicle and un-Lego), no Ignika, no Piraka(I did get Axonn and Brutaka; they just rocked *wub* ), no Mahri, and no Barraki. And I won't get the Phantoka and the Mistika. No offense to likers of the line, but the names just got lame. Mistika. Phantoka. :-X Umph. Now I haven't mentioned the matoran. The matoran were cool in '04 with increased articulation. I also collected them for the discs and disc launchers they had. Since then, the matoran have become much more of a, how to say this, fighting force. Look at '06. They all have two huge hand weapons. Phooo. Another big piece of Bionicle history out the window. I thought that's what the Toa were so special for. I thought they had those weapons to protect the matoran from evil. Now the matoran can protect themselves from evil, but instead the story is good hunting something that evil is hunting. Just sounds like any old line now. It used to be about saving an island from an evil brother who wants to take it over. That's something interesting. And the twin has posessed the formerly good creatures of the island and made them evil monsters. The Rahi. Cool. And as we progress through the story, we meet more monsters. The Bohrok. They've got a neat feature; they can corrupt the Toa via their masks. Which makes you want to get more masks, which I did. I have so many krana I don't know what to do with them! :-D Good times; I remember I always collected the mini collector boxes with masks in them. Then we move to advanced Bohrok; these are the toast of the town. They present a real challenge. Later on, This is the Bionicle that I miss so much. Nowadays all my Bionicle are in a box a yard high and one and a half feet wide. I rarely take them out, unless I, out of a spasmodic desire, wanted to put them all back together. What Faramir said above, about moving away from the Legend idea and to the futuristic idea is only too true. Sure, who doesen't love a Gatling gun that shoots squids underwater? That may be interesting to some people, but the whole point of Bionicle was to have a kickass line which went with a free comic you got every few months.(no offense to you Brickmaster subscribers - Oh wait, I am one! X-O ) The thing that got me hooked was that I could easily reenact a cool thing I got regularly. Now, today, I have every single comic of Bionicle ever printed. It's always fun to read through them. But when I read the newer comics, something's missing. That something is the fun and the coolness of the line. It used to be cool; humorous at several points in each comic and plenty of neat one-liners. :-P (they're still good) But the new comics, they just seem darker and more evil. Sure, the new artist knows that and he said that, but it could still be better. I mean, at every turn it looks like evil has won. For gosh's sakes make things look up for once! >:-( I can't stand something where you have to read all 500 comics and see the good guys get smashed up every time, but then you have to see a movie just to see the climax! It's a waste to me. With the original comics I can understand what's going on and I can kinda figure out what's gonna happen in the movie because it's talked about in the comics. With the Piraka and Voya Nui, for instance, it ends with a crazed Piraka chained to a monster. Looks like he'll just hand the mask over to the Piraka. Now take the Bohrok Kal! I love those comics! It shows how the Toa must become stronger to beat the seemingly indefeatable Bohrok Kal. And the comics actually show the end of the Kal, a scene I particularly enjoy. X-D OK, most of this is just pretty much the same as what VBBN and Faramir have said, only from a different mouth. Maybe 2009 will hold better Bionicle; maybe not. Frankly, TLC has already dug the grave of the part of me that loved Bionicle when they dug the grave of the old Legend-like Bionicle that I so loved. *sad* Now, I was reading Visorak-Kal's post, and something else that I loved about the old comics came back: There was real substance in those comics; take Lewa's repeated corruption. Once with the Krana, once(almost) with the shadow kraata. This is what happens to real people with real lives; they see something they like and take it. Kind of like taking the easy way out. With the newer comics, there's no substance; no plot. Nothing that makes you want to read more, or makes you want to sleep under the mailbox until the next magazing and comic comes. For example, Lewa's corruption. No one knows where he is, no one knows what's happened to him, except for you. You can't wait to see what happens to him. In the newer comics, I don't see any of that. All I see is Toa: We need to get the mask of life! *fights the bad guys* End of comic. Next comic: Toa: We've got to get the mask of life! *fights bad guys* End of comic. Etc., etc., etc. Do I need to say it? :-| -

Greetings, knightsword! I'm hoping you love castle, because I know I do! Enjoy your stay! *sweet* -
That's from the piece count. I'm PRETTY sure the piece count shows extra pieces, as far as I know. :-/ I counted 100 sharp from the instruction manual alone.
