  1. That has to be the most disturbing creation I have ever seen..... X-O 8-| P
  2. I still haven't voted, but since there is confusion on what we are voting on, I think its time I declared this an "Unscientific Poll" :-P P
  3. Great work from both you and LuxorV!! *y* I must compliment your warthog! I really enjoy Halo MOC as they are the only other "sci-fi" stuff I like besides SW. I highly await Armothe's Master chief helmet, Brick arms halo Assault rifle and even a waterslide decal! Then I will build Master chief to my liking *sweet* P
  4. Cool Comic! *y* Great background and special effects work here! The fighter is really cool too 8-
  5. Figwise I would have to say Indy, love his whole outfit! *wub* Setwise it really doesn't matter, I collected the Adventurer sets, because I always loved adventure and treasure hunting. Today I collect Indiana Jones for the same reasons *sweet* p
  6. For me, there is only one place, not a WW Saloon or an Ancient ruin...... *wub* :-P Complete with water slide and hottie!! P
  7. Wow I can't believe other people have had this same head error mistake! X-O I thought it was one of those extreme cases of production slip up! The good thing is I will get a replacement Indy head, and get to keep that Anakin head!! I forgot to mention that my set was also missing 1 black ear piece for the Anubis statues There also are extra stickers for my set, I can't figure out what they are for though? hehe, I too like my TOD Indy fig 8-| :-D P
  8. I can dream can't I? :-D Yes, I mean dark grey, I liked the black suit but I would have preferred it to be more blacker without yellow coloring. I hope its a Batman Begins based suit 8-
  9. Sadly ricecracker your time is coming to an end Vote Ricecracker, that is 7 votes now and we only 6 to lynch
  10. This is very great work Batbrick, I love the in-depth and interactive storyline *y* I must admit though, that when reading that Exo-builder and our teammate got slaughtered by the dragon I started laughing like crazy X-D :-P You see?All we wanted was a tank and we don't even get one! Very bad since everyone was obsessed with getting a tank! Instead everybody gets mauled/killed reducing our group!! Very sad yet awesome! For the choices Before Reginald dies you should get him to program the defense bot! Since it will be like a companion and can defend the base! Plus robots never complain and you don't need to feed them! At first I thought he should make more weapons but we already collected a lot form the deadzone extravaganza :-D For finding food I chose to play it safe and go to the wastelands......Nah I actually chose to explore the saltflats since finding new areas could be useful! But if the deadzone was an option I would have picked that :-D While finding food, search for more survivors since they are companions and offer unique skills. P

  12. Thanks Andrex!! 8-
  13. At my local Wal*Mart there was most of the 2008 sets including the Indiana Jones ones :'-) I picked up this one and the Motorcycle Chase! Name: 7621 Lost Tomb Price: $20.00 Parts: 277 Figs: 3 *Box Art First off we have the great Indiana Jones Box art!! I must say the designers did an excellent job on it! I love the little temple design with skulls! As well as including Indy in the right hand corner. The back of the box is just as cool showing all the neat play features of the set as well as an advertisement for the Indiana Jones Game *Figs First off we have our hero, Indian............. What the hell? Why is there a freaking CW Anakin head on Indy!! There was a production slip up as instead of Indy's head I get Anakin's! :-| |-/ I open the box up and there staring me in the face is his ugly face!! TLC is defiantly doing to here a gnarly complaint from me!! >:-( Ok now here we have the " real" Indy fig that is supposed to come with the set :-D I just noticed that his fedora hat goes down in the back! Bonus Picture Time, Here is a jacketless Indy with his sleeve torn off, like he looks in the Temple of doom *sweet* The next figure up is our lovely Marion *wub* *wub* *wub* Plus her head is reversible with a scared face X-D Love the new hairpiece in black!! Finally we have our undead skellie with second style head and poseable arms *The Well Of Souls The set itself is a nice model and playset! The Anubis statues are very cool and I love all the hieroglyphs on the walls 8-� Here is the SW link with Artoo and 3P0 X-D The Ark in its resting place The Ark removed, its very cool indeed, but TLC should have made the whole thing in chrome gold |-/ not metallic gold with brown and yellow!! The closeup of the Anubis statue, Yes the Eye is a sticker but at leasts a gold color! *Playability First off you can pull the pin on the Anubis statues which send them falling and taking out the walls. Behind the wall a skellie swings out! There is a lever in the back of the model where you push down and the snakes shower down upon the figs hehe With the snakes all around, Marion is both modeling with the new carrot torch and fending off viscous cobras :-D In the meantime Indy uses his whip to scale the wall and avoid all the snakes which he is afriad of. In the meantime leaving Marion behind to fight them off. :-P The whip is bendable but it will always snap back into a coil, its some type of bendy hard plastic *Scoring Figs- 9/10 Model- 8/10 Playability- 8.5/10 Overall Satisfaction- 4/10 (would be 9/10 if it wasn't for the stupid Anakin head error!) In the end this is a charming set and could easily fit in with the adventurers! It has the cool Anubis statues as well as the Ark. Plus Indy, Marion and a skellie, great selection of figs but Sallah would have been better since he actually removes the ark with Indy However I am still wondering the point of the Anubis statues, this set does seem pretty silly :-P P
  14. Well the 2008 sets finally arrived in the Islands and one of them I managed to pick up was the Imperial Dropship, Piranha Advancements proudly present this little review Name: Imperial Dropship Price: $10.00USD Pieces: 81 Figs: 4 *Box Art First we have pictures of the lovely boxart *wub* I must say I quite like the Vader logo in the corner. Also note the "Build you army" slogan *wub* Now we have the back of the box with the "cool features" pictures *More on that later *Figs The fig selection is quite generous, with three Imperial Stormtroopers and the elusive Shadow Trooper! *wub* A great way to build up your stormie army! It should also known that these stormie's have a new design from the original with a comparison picture below. The mouth area is now Grey with blacks stripes. *Old Stormie on left * new stormie on right Now onto a beautiful fig and my favorite trooper! The Shadow Stormie! I love the silver eye printings and the overall pattern *wub* Finally the nice various assortment of blasters -2 long and 2 short *Dropship aka Crapship X-D First we have the standard views of the ship from different angles. The stickers are 3 imperial logo's in silver, I quite like them though :-$ Another side view Next is the views of the troop carrier thingy detached from the main ship It opens and drops in an interesting way, the wings open up and a technic pin is there for the carrier to slide in, then you close it up The cockpit has no controls(more helmet technology I guess :-| :-D ) It opens up forward for the Shadow Trooper to fit nicely in The view with all the troopers snugly attached to the dropship The next shot is of the carrier detached, it fills quite open without the 4 stormie there Lastly is a rear view of the ship with the grey engines(basically wheel rims) Score Figs- 10/10 Pricing- 9/10 Parts- 6/10 Overall model- 7.5/10 Satisfaction- 8/10 Playability- 7/10 Overall a great set to collect some cool figs and great for army builders! The inclusion of a shadow trooper makes it much more interesting but I wouldn't have minded 4 Stormies plus the Shadow Trooper. A must buy for any SW fan or OT fan! P
  15. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity(40 days) I walked down the Lego Section of Wal*Mart and there they stood all of the 2008 products! :'-) I picked up these *wub* Now after this wait I can look forward to building them!! *sweet* And of course a few reviews!! P
  16. Yet another pleasant interview! *y* I really enjoy reading these, some are very interesting! Nice Car Wash there Alex! I love the little racing car modified for Minifigs :-D p
  17. Bandits? In this city? Impossible! I'll be joining Brickster with having a drink at the saloon and play some poker, since I never refused a drink!
  18. Lucky you and everybody else, its been 36 days since 2008 and I'm still waiting for them! >:-( |-/ Its unbelievable and ridiculous! I'm checking again tomorrow and hopefully they will have them! Well today I bought a few SW decals from Kaminoan *wub* Can't wait to receive and apply! P
  19. While browsing the Internet I cam across LAML Radio which is a LEGO talk podcast type radio It is very interesting!! There are interviews with Armothe, Kamionan and Brickarms 8-
  20. My desktop is meh, I prefer my Web Brower :-D However if you insist P
  21. We all know Realplayer is the best of the best *y* *wub* Its great for downloading web videos from Youtube, better than Quicktime and Windows media Player However itunes is the best music player For Web Browers, Firefox is simply the best! *sweet* P

    Indy Sets

    Thats pretty lame!! >:-( TLC has done way more "darker" scenes than that! Temple of Doom is rated PG and the is Last Crusade PG-13? Yet they will make sets about the film? Ridiculous :-| Temple escape has some violent scenes that can be recreated plus Skeletons and skulls all around! I'm not sure if you can get any darker!! Not to mention the Birth of Vader set with a bloody Anakin!! There are some great scenes to be done for the film!! Mine Chase, Rope Bridge, Club Obi wan....... End Rant! >:-( Another great set idea should be Marion's Hotel(?) in Tibet Includes Marion in new outfit, Thot, Indy and 2 Nepal thugs Features hotel with bar area, tables and staff of ra P
  23. Thanks again :-$ I noticed you also redid the Bat and SW Indexes and added banners! Nice! *sweet* Awaiting additions On! P
  24. Thanks *yoda* , you have done a great job of reorganizing my sloppy index :-D *y* Indy On! P
  25. True but they match the movie versions too ;-) And you can see why TLC put the cones on the inside of their electro staff Thanks Sam for showing that the Clones have printing on them 8-
