Corvus

German: I call the one in the middle.

I was in Germany during the world cup. They won in the semi-finals- it was amazing; I've never seen a more wild celebration, including the RV parties at the Super Bowl. Kinda wish I'd seen it... Don't think most of America's that interested...

So most of the complaints were by people who couldn't understand what it said... If they'd know what it was, they wouldn't have complained. It's a bold advertisement for a good cause.

So... Floater, huh? AKA antigravity...? Good idea, but I think you need to work on the 'floaters'- they looked kinda like they were slapped on. The engine on the back is good, and the wheel rims, but the click hinges need more. Nice bit of greebling on the engine- really good!

Sure, you're completely guilty innocent....

Yup, I'm thinking BZP has more per day. Go EB!

No, see, this is hell. You see the beautiful set, but then you see the price... Kind of reminds me of the Greek myth when the guy has to roll a boulder up the hill, but it keeps falling down...

Sweet Pearls of Lutra! That's impressive. New torsos for luke, Vader, Palpie, and R2? R2 looks...different. Does Vader actually fit in that TIE? What is IG-88 doing in this pic? Torturing the anti-C-3P0?

Whoops. I kind of spoiled it there- now I need to go back and read the others! As long as he can find a better actor than He-who-falls-to-the-darkside-in-five-minutes. Now...I would really enjoy seeing a horror movie spoof with Fabuland.

Hey, you with the multiple identities! Happy birthday! ( )

I like the Jar-Jar. I would've voted for it! Night vision: Convert him! Think of what else he could do!

SCHOOOOOL's out. for. summer! SCHOOOOOL's out. for. summer! So, rather than going to school at eight every day, I'm volunteering from eight to four every day instead... ... ...

It'd be nice to see a new hairpiece for Luke... The girl one just makes him a...girl. It really doesn't work with fleshy...

My thoughts exactly. you'd think we'd learn...Like my cat who's fallen into the full bathtub about four times.

Don't worry, I've never heard of it either... Got mine sometime after the Douglas Adams contest, I think. Maybe it had something to do with tha fact that I never got with it and didn't make an entry, because I always do seem to forget where my towel is...

TLC. Without them, Fabuland wouldn't exist. And without Fabuland, all these wonderful jokes never have existed. And then where would we be? The world would be a much more sad, lonely place without it. (EB at least...) Oh. See kids, this is why you read the thread first! Does it matter? It's FROWN. That's bad enough.

This needs to go into the Buy, Sell, Trades, and Finds forum. The closest thread is here, Link But then this is different...It's good deals. I've gotten the Imperial Armada ship at TRU for about 20% of the original price, and I got the Viking Catapult VS. The Ofnir Dragon there too. It was the last one, stacked waaaay up high past the shelves under about 50 other boxes, and was half-price, and the manager gave me a special deal for even finding it. (That, and the fact that he couldn't find it in the inventory. ) The best one of all: Black Falcon fortress along with two other castle sets from my cousin in Hawaii, he was going to college and I got them for free!

Played at the graduation ceremony for the Seniors! We played Pomp and Circumstance like, nine times for twenty minutes! My lips were numb for so long that they didn't know each other any more!

Hey, thanks guys. So you tolerated the bar jokes and faded lighting? I'm sorry you guys thought I was being negative- I actually love the set. It brings a real feel of Classic Space to MM (No, I'm NOT talking in the third person. ). However, it does have its own small issues, which are nothing, really. I said that there's not much of a lab- but that's the beauty of lego. There's a lot of room in the ship, so it should be a piece of cake to mod to a bigger lab. Too many bars? I'll take them off. I really like the set, I just want to change it to suit my tastes. It looks beautiful- It will find a home among my other MM sets as a favorite. Iron Moose: Good question. It's about 17 inches wide, 11 inches tall (with ramp down), and 16 inches wide. As for the platform, it's pretty stable. It tilts back a small degree so it doesn't collapse when tapped on the nose, but I wouldn't leave it on the edge of a table while in that position.

Well, title says it. The description, you'll understand later. I ordered this off of S@H last tuesday, and oddly enough, it's listed on S@H as MX-81 Hypersonic Airplane... I'd like to apologize for the random, horrible, faded pics. I took the review outside, and the clouds kept shifting, changing the lighting, and then I had to go inside because it started raining. It's been raining for a week. It's raining now, as I type this. So, I foolishly went outside to take pics. The front of the box. Not bad, as far as boxes go. It features a lift-up tab... ...which shows the various functions. Back of the box. Still not much to say... Two manuals. I think this is just right- Not too thick, but not too many manuals, either... Oddly enough, the box came with a little folded up piece of paper telling us not to mix the bags. It comes sorted into 4 bags, by the way. Minifigures The set features 3 normal MM figs, 1 normal jellie, and one of the new commanders. I really like this guy. He has a few issues, like his hands being stuck sideways, and still being hollow, but still a great improvement. He'll make a lovely addition to any Halloween MOC. Stickers The set comes with a fairly big DSS for the Spacecraft. Pretty normal, but I do like the dragon sticker. Then, suprises of suprises, a technicolor sticker sheet for the aliens! How cool is this, huh? The tops of the actual stickers are shiny, which is hard to see in the pic. Even the bottom is shiny! Who said stickers can't be cool? The mining craft The little guy is pretty cute, and well built. My only gripe is that there's nowhere to spin the drill! It seems so lifeless without a feature... The alien craft You'd think a Commander would be important enough to have a seatbelt, rather than be stabbed with a clip and stuck on the ship like those other grunt aliens... I think this thing has some potential. Shiny stickers, different body shape. And when you look at those engines, this thing could be an alien Corvette! But then you look at the back. Pretty bare, no flares or anything. It's a cool little craft, but it just...lacks. The modules These things have some potential, as well. With some modding, they could be pretty cool. Unfortunetly, it's pretty boxy, there are no engines, and the wings are too small. The top is pretty nice, though. The greebles are all right. The controls, as usual, are a sticker. Pretty spacious, mind you. The cockpit doesn't stay flush with the body, though. The front plate underneath it can be easily replaced with a brick to fix that. ...I'm not gonna comment on this. The main body Too bad. The 'labratory' isn't much of a lab. A trans-red panel and some tray thing are all that compose the 'lab'. I was expecting more, but true to form, this Mars Mission set has no impressive interior to speak of. There is a lot of space, though, so it shouldn't be hard to mod. Phew! The lab folds up like so. Pretty simple, and would allow access to the lab, if there was one. And then we have this thing. What is it? Defense laser? Communications array? Satellite T.V.? The modules connect like so (sorry, out of place...): Too bad the pins stick out... Various pics... As you can see, this thing has more of those bars than an AT&T commercial... (There, you understand the topic description now? ) The rear. It uses a white City plane wing for the...wings. When I first saw the prototype pics, I thought they slanted downwards... That would've been really cool. Ah, now to the platform. From the position of the drill, I think this could be a really cool turret location when I MOD it to more military space. Back to the bars. If we had space monkeys, they'd love this. This set has more bars than a jungle gym.( ) Here we see the button that drops the platform. Pretty clever, and it's not in the way. Best of all, it really works! Really well, actually. Good job, TLC. 2 more bars and a shooter mechanism. Jeeze, this is really setting itself up for a joke. A shooter mechanism walks into a bar... Never mind! Here we have the handle that allows you to pick it up safely. A good idea, but it's placed waaaay to far back, way off the center of balance. You have to hold on to it pretty well to keep it angled up, though it does stop your hands from getting in the way of the platform. Ah! The platform in action. This is really a neat little feature. Not only can the ship land in a reduced footprint, but it also prevents the nice white paint job from getting red dust all over it... It's centered pretty well, too, and you don't have to worry about knocking it over, just don't shove it back at all. Here we have the latch. When the button on top is pushed, this gets pulled inward... ...Which pulls out of this hole and allows it to swing neatly down. Good luck, and happy mining!! Again, sorry for the lack of in-progress review. I would've liked to take pics of the mechanism and so on, but typical of the MM sets, you can't really take it apart. Well, this is really a nice set, which can hopefully be upgraded with a better lab with little difficulty. Some of my military mod plans include: -Strip the lab and install a command center -get rid of lots of bars. The thing has more bars than Alcatraz. -Install some turrets. This is a big command ship, so why all the forward-facing weapons? It'll need some AA defense... -mod the landing platform to be a troop dropper with installable AA turret. -mod the cockpit pods to be more aerodymic. So, that's all folks. Shall I include one last "bar" joke?

Ooh! I'm liking the HSD, especially the clones. The RED (!) ARC trooper looks great, but in the pic he looks a bit wierd, like he's aiming at the screen. Also, what is that thing between the clones and the droids? Some kind of droid. Spot on...

That's not nice. Come on! Pics? Stories?

Sheesh, lighten up. It's all fun. And if you think it's immature, maybe you should remember tha this is a LEGO forum.

Great review. I just got 7644 MX-81 Hypersonic Operations Aircraft. It's a great ship. I started to review it, but then it started to rain (I was outside), so the review is coming tommorow. Technicolor stickers! Very pretty!

Wow. Wasn't expecting that. Nice work, guys, it looks great.
