  1. There was a Spiderman set that had a spinning thing showing Norman Osborn turning into the Green Goblin, perhaps Banner vs Hulk could be done in a similar way?
  2. I would like to suggest that sets with light bricks contain a warning in the instructions that says "do not stare directly into light" as light bricks (such as the red-LED one I was just fiddling with) can hurt ones eyes if one stares directly into them (and unlike other things with eye-hurting LEDs in them, these are things kids are going to play with)
  3. I remember a story about how some of the people on the inside tour got to take a small amount of parts from that place (or its predecessor). What I wouldn't give to do that...
  4. If you are willing to go non-purist, BrickForge will sell you a really nice Acoustic in black, dark tan, red brown, tan and white.
  5. My vote goes to the Ambulance although the Car & Caravan and the Dirt Bike Transporter are also great.
  6. Confirmed here in the west that MYER (Morley at least) still have the 3 for 2 deal.
  7. The ongoing war in Korea is also the reason the US refuses to sign the international treaty banning the use of land mines (they claim that a minefield is the only way to protect the south from invasion by the north)
  8. Nice MOC, I think the clone brand figs really work for this.
  9. Nice looking MOC there, the butcher reminds me more of say a continental style deli (with the bread and stuff) than a proper butcher shop. Great job on the doctors office, love the nurses and the use of the X-Ray.
  10. Nice fire truck, cool to see that there such variety in fire apparatus.
  11. If it wasnt for the "Lucas tax" (i.e. Star Wars license fees) making this set so expensive, it would be a very good parts pack IMO.
  12. I cant see LEGO having a problem with this as long as you aren't deriving profit from it or misusing LEGO IP. LEGO has given brick geometry data to the LDRAW project in the past and its clear from the files that they come from the same source as the LDD geometry.
  13. The 3 for 2 offer is perfect, now I just gotta hope there is a MYER in Perth that has the Ambulance in stock.
  14. Nice one, makes me feel like having a steak for dinner tonight (thankfully I have one in the freezer :)
  15. BigW isn't less than RRP on the City vehicles (Ambulance etc) at least as far as I have seen.
  16. Something else I thought of that I could use is a part similar to http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2555 but with a stud underneath it instead of a stud hole.
  17. I think the Computer Programmer is the best fig of all the series so far.
  18. I would love to see more torsos and heads, specifically http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=973pb307c01 would be nice.
  19. Nice job on these figs. I think a pair of these http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=88811 would look good for Shredder (at least from what I remember of how Shredder looks)
  20. Anyone got a picture of this new camera?
  21. As a train fan, I am glad that I was able to get an Emerald Night, I much prefer it to the Maresk. (mostly because there is no way I can get enough Maresk blue to do anything useful with the color in a MOC but the dark green and black of the EN is much easier to make use of)
  22. Can anyone tell me (based on whatever leaked images exist) if the new City Hospital looks like it includes any new torsos, other new parts (including new printed parts) or any stickers that represent medical stuff? I dont know how much leaked info is out there, wanna find out if I should wait for the hospital before I build my own hospital MOC or whether there is nothing new in it worth waiting for :)
  23. What is the best (i.e. cheapest) way to get the new City Vehicles (ambulance, car & caravan, dump truck etc)? Buy from Bricklink? Buy from some online site? Buy from BigW? Wait for a %off sale at Target? Wait for a %off sale at MYER?
  24. Interesting to note that unlike most recent sets with the bike part, this one actually has a helmet for the rider.
  25. Neat to know that the S7 fig is actually named "Computer Programmer" and not just something generic like "Geek" :)
