I don't think there was one. The best pictorial reviews I've seen for this set were probably Rebrickable's and Brickset's. http://rebrickable.com/blog/2015/review-lego-76042-shield-helicarrier http://brickset.com/article/14120/review-76042-shield-helicarrier-part-1 http://brickset.com/article/14238/review-76042-shield-helicarrier-part-2 Now, if somone wants to supply me with a free copy, I could probably write up a review for Eurobricks...

Or just wait until Velma asks you to find all 30 missing pairs of her glasses. That quest was miserable. VELMA, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO LOSE YOUR GLASSES UNDERWATER?!?!?

Another great review for a great set. The story at the end was very enjoyable, though -plot twist- Helen could have been the thief all along! Consider that! Back to the Bank, I keep meaning to buy it, I really do. I just haven't gotten around to it. Maybe later. Though you seem to be missing a poll option- "I love this set even more than I love JackJonespaw"

I absolutely love this figure, but all the GameStops near me ran out in the first few hours and the aftermarket prices are crazy. EDIT: Just a heads up WhiteFang, your Bricklink link leads to the Admiral Yularen polybag, not this one.

I briefly tried out the Scooby World last night, and I really like it. It might be my new favorite. On an unrelated note, the Scooby Snack gadget is awesome, even if only the first rebuild (for Super Strength) is the only really helpful one.

I got Scooby-Doo today at Best Buy, Portal was OOS so I'll order it online later. I elected to pass on JW for now as I got tracking with the Scooby-Doo pack and from what I'm hearing the JW world is rather underwhelming.

Best Buy has fun packs $7.49, team packs $14.99, and level packs $19.99. I'm considering picking up Portal, Scooby-Doo, and Jurassic World.

Awesome explosion, and I can see I'm not the only one collecting those Knights.

Location: F03 - Forring Tags: Spaceship Sector F03, onboard the OCS Variate, in orbit over Forring: Director Fields: Are you sure he's coming, Bob? In my experience, these Special Forces guys don't have much regard for scheduling. Bob: He'll be here. He always is. Hasn't missed a week of work since we began our operations in the Andromeda galaxy. Director Fields: Impressive... most impressive. Jebediah: My apologies for being late. I got hung up with some idiot in IT who couldn't figure out how to transfer my credits from last weeks training exercise. Bob: Don't worry abou- Director Fields: *clears his throat* Let's get down to business. Mr. O'Reilly, I am Director Fields and I am the head of Octans Internal Affairs division. Are you familiar with Dr. Danielle Long and Project Icarus? Jebediah: *thinks for a moment* No... I know Dr. Long, but I've never heard of Project Icarus. Director Fields: Allow me to enlighten you. Director Fields: Several moths ago, she recovered a peculiar device within an ancient facility on Greater Drigo. After her first round of testing was approved, we heard nothing out of her. She didn't submit any lab reports and corporate was left completely in the dark as to the state of Project Icarus. There were rumors that an employee was killed, but nobody could ever prove it. Somehow she managed to disconnect almost all surveillance systems to the ejectable labs on the Axle. The snapshot on the screen is all we were able to get, and its rather puzzling. The board of directors considered cutting her funding, but we decided to instead send a team to the Axle to find out what she was up to and what Project Icarus entailed. When we got there, Dr. Long, the device, and her lab team had vanished, leaving no trace of her activities. Quite frankly, we're pissed. And that's where you come in. Jebediah: I see. You want to find Dr. Long. Director Fields: Yes. Here's everything we have on her and Project Icarus. Admittedly its not much. She's covered her tracks and history well. Jebediah: Don't worry Director. I'll find her. Director Fields: Good luck. *later, when Jebediah has left* Director Fields: Do you think this will work? Bob: I hope so. Disclaimer: I haven't been in contact with DLL and I have no idea where he is or what happened to him. I just hope he's OK. This story arc should offer some sort of in-universe explanation for his mysterious disappearance. If you have any questions about the story, just ask, it could be a bit confusing if you haven't read all the builds before this. C&C welcome.

That's not very helpful.

Great review, thank you JJP! I'm very glad that we get both the main hero and villain of the movie, TR-8R and that traitorous swine FN-2187, in a mid-priced set. It's great for the kids. I have one question though: How much does the instruction manual weigh?

The Mystery Mansion Mash-Up level keeps freezing when I try to free play it.

I think this set looks really good as a whole- though there's nothing we haven't really seen before, and the price is a bit high. It's too bad, I had high hopes for this set.

I know you know, you're the one who first told me, and I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know.

Heads up, the usual writeboard site has closed down.

Oh, ok. I thought it was clear from the day conclusion that I had died. Sorry.

If you don't want him you can send him right over here.

We're both dead. I wasn't sure until Dragonfire sent me a deadboard link.

Thanks for having me Dragonfire... I'm still slightly in shock from that turn of events.

Awesome! I wish they made those large ball-and-socket pieces in black. Have you considered painting them?

Unvote: Rath Skarbin (Umbra-Manis) Shoot. I'll hammer Banning. Vote: Corporal Banning (Tariq j) I think getting a Day 1 lynch is important as it gives us more info to go on tomorrow. I'm not entirely convinced that the corporal is an assassin, but he's the scummiest one here behind Mr. Rath.

The set itself looks pretty good, but it's not really anything we haven't seen before. I also think it's priced a bit too high. $200 or even $220 would be more reasonable. Has Lego ever released a set with a $220 price point?

Mr. Hosty, can we get an official vote count? Pretty please?

Took me a minute to figure that out.
