  1. I visited the Bellevue store yesterday. I picked up a few baseplates, a few small sets, and some 20% off Mixels to mod my Hulkbuster. They had Orthanc and the Pirates Chess Set on the shelves. The Helicarrier was in the window, and it's incredible! Gonna have to start saving my cash...
  2. Very cool scene! I think perhaps a small base for it would be helpful. May I ask why you changed Star-Lords hair?
  3. The space sets look very nice, I'll probably get the starter set and the training jet. I'll pass on the shuttles as I already have this (http://brickset.com/sets/10213-1)!
  4. Thanks, but I can't really claim credit for the equipment. I took the brilliant medical lab designs from the inside of Arkham Asylum.
  5. Looking great! I like the general store. Excited to see where this goes!
  6. I think the rock wall looks fine, just fill in those holes! Can't wait to see more progress!
  7. Thank you for your comments! I originally had that doctor with a medieval broadsword! I decided to "downgrade" to a saw. :) I can't say I was going for a "buildings of old" feel but in retrospect I suppose it does remind me of those.
  8. Awesome mods 'Tombacus' You're making me want to buy another one and do this... Personally I think the third floor should be an apartment for the owner. Great job though!
  9. I was looking at set 4429, the hospital from 2012, and decided it was too small. Now, I shall present my expansion! I added a baseplate, fully enclosed the garage, pushed out the wall to accommodate an emergency room, and expanded the recovery room. The upper section can be removed for access to the ER. Having problems with my computer, so more pictures on my Brickshelf gallery (when moderated) http://brickshelf.co...ry.cgi?f=553722 Comments and criticism welcome!
  10. Amazing! I wish I had that many tiles! Are you going to put the buildings right on the edge of the square or are you going to have a street between the square and buildings?
  11. Very cool mods! However if its military helicopter, why are there police logos? I also love your airport!
  12. Thanks a ton! This is exactly what I wanted. Now its time to build an army of miniature quinjets!
  13. I am to looking buy parts online for one of the mini Quinjets from the helicarrier but can't find the instructions online. (I checked Lego.com but its not up yet) Could someone who has the set post a scan of just the page that builds them? Thanks!
  14. Not sure if it really matters, but the Spring 2015 catalog has the Helicarrier taking up 2 full pages, right smack in the middle of the catalog.
  15. I'd recommend the Green Lantern set. The figures are superb and the jet is a fun build. The spring loaded shooters are well integrated into the body of the jet, and they are quite enjoyable to blast Sinestro with! :)
  16. Thank you! I have figured out the problem and will have it fixed for future reviews.
  17. Very nice review! You put the review of this set I did a few days ago to shame...
  18. Thank you for your comments! I will definitely take your advice and make sure my pictures are on a better background and facing the right way for my next review. I wholeheartedly agree, nothing beats having the Hulkbuster on display!
  19. Very nice! I think the floor is fine, the jumper plates and brown/gold pieces help break up an otherwise monotonous surface. It also leaves plenty of places to stand minifigures! One other thing I noticed, the white arch seems to be a bit too low for minifigures. Maybe raise that up a brick or two? Oops! Just realized that arch piece is actually connected on the bottom, so raising it up wouldn't actually do anything. Making the doorway taller would require a different piece.
  20. Awesome hockey stadium Delbaerov! The lights look fantastic!
  21. Hello and welcome to my first set review on Eurobricks! Today I will be covering the new Age Of Ultron set, 76031 The Hulk Buster Smash! I picked up this set a Toys'R'Us, a few weeks before its official release. Here is the box art, front and back. Box art is nice, showcases features well. Contents of the box include 3 numbered bags, separately bagged hulk, sticker sheet, comic book, and instruction manual. Here are the parts found in bag 1: A nice selection, and it has the first exclusive figure, Scarlet Witch! I'll cover minifigures near the end. Bag 1 done! Parts from Bag 2: Hulkbuster is taking shape! The dome at the top is a new piece and printed too! Contents of Bag 3: Bag 3 done! Quite impressive. It instructs you to build an extra missile thingy for the stud shooters on the arm. Now for the minifigures! I'll let the photos speak for themselves. They are all excellent figures! I believe Scarlet Witch and Ultron are exclusive to this set. They have nice printing, front and back. The new Hulk looks much better in person. The Hulkbuster is up next! As you can see Iron Man fits inside! It's quite cool actually. The other net thing is kinda lame, and the only play feature is to knock down Scarlet Witch with the Super Jumper. Here's a few more shots of Hulkbuster. And the whole set: Now it's time for ratings! Parts: 7/10 Nothing too special, but I like the printed dome and all the nice dark red! Minifigures: 9/10 On the other hand, the minifigures are great! Nice printing all around, I just wish there was maybe an Iron Man sit variant. (Besides the Hulkbuster!) Design: 7/10 Hulkbuster looks nice, but it's a bit too big next to Hulk. The net thing seems tacked on. Price: 8/10 29.99 USD for 248 pieces+a bigfig seems spot on! OVERALL: 31/40 says the ratings. But it is an Iron Man suit designed with the sole purpose of fighting Hulk, so I'm bumping it up to 35/40. I hope you enjoyed my review. Comments welcome! What do you think of the Hulkbuster? P.S. Not sure why some of the pictures are rotated... Must be because I took them on my iPhone. It someone knows how to fix that it would be great!
  22. Very nice pictures Just2Good! Does anybody else find it strange that the instructions say to build the second dark red leaf piece on the back instead of the front of the tree?
  23. Visited my local TRU today. They had all the AoU sets except for the Quinjet and Iron Man vs. Ultron, all in the regular Lego aisle. I picked up the Hulkbuster. I am quite impressed with it, I am currently working on a review. It should be up in the next few days!
