It is possible, I do have some of the original instructions with multiple images. For example, here on page 12, it shows penguins, yet also a map of the North Pole. This is also a good source to view those images.

Thank you for sharing with us this nice review. I owned the previous Hospital that was released in 2006, and from these pictures it is definitely an improvement. The minifigures in general are much nicer, especially that new doctor, which is the star of the set. The helicopter is vastly improved from the previous rendition. I still like the larger ambulance but the small one included is alright. The interior of the building is a bit lacking but that can be fixed. As for the exterior, I think it is solid, somewhat reminiscent of Classic Town. Overall I would rate this set at 4/5.

Thanks for the info Legomilk. A new "Polar Explorer" type theme would be great. I personally am hoping for different sets based in different "frozen" locations; such as the Himalayas, Antarctica, the Arctic and so on. The bear mold recolored as a polar bear would be a good choice, as would a new penguin mold and maybe even seals? I also believe the first Arctic theme was supposedly based in Antarctica, but it still included polar bears.

Very impressive ACPin, thanks for sharing.

Jedi Temple Mafia - Day One
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
After catching up on the past events, I am going to Vote: Mace Windu (Nightshroud99). I had already suspected him of being scum quite some time earlier in the day, the evidence just kept piling up until the climax when he admitted it, and I also think he was probably trying to take down a Town with him. -
Jedi Temple Mafia - Day One
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
You have entirely missed the point of that post I made, as I already said those were my preliminary suspects and my reasons why I suspected them were based on those suspicious comments I quoted from them. Their own words they themselves said are my reasons for suspecting them, not myself just formulating random accusations. That said, as the discussion progressed and after I reviewed what had been said 10+ plus pages , I was able to more firmly place a FoS on the ones who I think might be Sith. That first post you quoted for your reason of being suspicions of me was my preliminary suspect list (which was being encouraged for everyone to do rather than remain silent) that could undergo refinement as I saw necessary, just as many others have already done. I think you are just trying to over analyze something that just isn't there with zero basis for it and trying to appear helpful by doing so. -
In the future please do not post all cap lock statements as it can be annoying and also (for everyone) avoid chat room type posts such as this.

Jedi Temple Mafia - Day One
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Quite a bit has transpired since I was last in the temple, this is what stood out to me. This statement which was made by Quinlan Vos was incredibly unhelpful without much insight and appeared soon after Nahdar had cast his FoS. I also fail to see any logic whatsoever in in. That was my recap of the people who were on my suspect list, and I supported it with reasons of why. I thought that was evident to see? I am going to FoS three people: FoS: Mace Windu - Nightshroud99 Extremely unhelpful and has posted strange erratic defenses. FoS: Ili Seosty - Sisco The first to vote against Ahsoka and maybe trying to start a bandwagon based on all of the previous discussions. Very few helpful comments previously. I too was suspicious of Ahsoka but I do think that she was just trying to lay the options on the table. As I said before we can't punish those who try and spark the discussion. FoS: Quinlan Vos - VolanicPanik No real reason for him suspecting Roron Corobb and I do see it as trying to shift the discussion away from Mace Windu. -
Jedi Temple Mafia - Day One
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Here is my recap: Useless metagame, although I do actually think he was just curious about our past missions. Useless metagame again, implying Anakin and having suspects before most Jedi even spoke, but he did explain later that he wasn't talking about his "real" suspicions yet. Suggesting to not lynch. Suggesting a tie vote, useless. Jumping on Anakin for bringing up the tie vote plan. Useless and somewhat distracting comment. Going in circles of who is a Sith and who isn't, leading to nowhere. Useless/distracting comment. I do agree with Master Fisto that we shouldn't automatically jump on the ones who were trying to spark a conversation to try and expose the Sith. I would agree, the more we talk the better we can get a feel for who might be acting scummy. I would like to go back to this, I also think that Master Windu has not been of any help either, however I think that Nahdar was confused and Master Corobb explained to him that he wanted to be investigated then contacted as a trusted Jedi. Whereas Nahdar originally thought that Master Corobb was saying a scummy thing to suggest that the power roles contact him. Can you clarify this statement please? Do you mean in the same air speeder as having only posted once? Or being suspicious of Ahsoka? -

Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
Indeed, I also think that is Sith-like behavior, they want to cast doubts and confusion in our minds by mentioning "What if?" scenarios or hypothesis. Since right now, the only thing we can go off is the initial conversations that have taken place thus far, I am very suspicious of Ahsoka right now. -
Jedi Temple Mafia - Day One
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
After observing the discussions that have transpired, I do have a couple of possible suspects that should be watched, but I also don't think that those who have been conversing a lot should be immediately drawn out as suspects, for example Master Roron Corobb questioned some of us minor Jedi regarding his familiarity with our character bios past missions but in reality that has absolutely no bearing on whether or not we are Sith and would seem like a poor attempt at meta gaming useless conversation. Nonetheless I will still answer his question, I am a Master Jedi. I also don't like how Ahsoka came up with the idea to not lynch anyone because that would only benefit the Sith. Anakin and his conversation with Aayla, both seem quick to be defensive. Euna Iladru and Foul Moudama seem to have said nothing of substance and perhaps even trying to distract us. R2-D2 is also a possible suspect, for the various useless transmissions. -
Please use proper grammar and capitalization in the future, thanks.

This is indeed very disturbing to have the shroud of the dark side among us. We must work together to find out who is a Sith. -
INTERVIEW: mutley777 Today, we're going to interview the one and only Star Wars hoarder: someone who has inspired wonder, awe, and envy in the minds of Clone kiddies LEGO Star Wars fans everywhere. He has more Kashyyyk Troopers than some people have clones of all types, and he is not without skill in building. It's our pleasure to bring you this interview of mutley777. EBSWB: Firstly, mutley, thanks again for doing this interview with us! Thank you for asking me. EBSWB: So, how did you become a fan of LEGO, and why is the Star Wars theme your primary interest? Well like a lot of older fans of LEGO, I was a big fan as a kid. My first set I remember buying myself was the Classic space 924 Space Cruiser. I loved that set and bought many more Classic space sets as a child. As a eight year old I moved into the start of my LEGO Dark age and moved on to my next passion, Kenner Star Wars figures and ships! This was of course fuelled by the movies which I was always a fan. The love of Star Wars never died and when TLC decided to release a Star Wars line back 1999 it was probably inevitable. It's funny but I was not the person who bought me my first Star Wars set, it was my wife (girlfriend at the time) and boy does she regret that one! EBSWB: How much time do you usually spend on LEGO? What do the (non-FOL) people you know think of your being an AFOL? Not as much as I would like but still probably to much! Most of my family are pretty good about my LEGO addiction (yes it is and most addicts are in denial ). They all either buy me sets for my birthday or give me LEGO vouchers if I have asked for them. Friends all like to talk about it but that is normaly as far as it goes. EBSWB: How did you discover EB, and what made you decide to join? I found EB back in the very early days when they broke the story of the 10131 TIE Collection. I lurked around the site for a few months and liked alot of what I saw before joining in early 2005 (Wow has it really been 7 years! ) EBSWB: You're well-known for your massive clone armies. What made you decide to be an army builder? (other than the sheer awesomeness of so many massed minifigs ) Well I started collecting Stormies when the Final Duel sets came out and I had discovered BrickLink too. That was probably the start of my army building. The arrival of the Battle Packs was when things really started to get out of hand! I bought 13 of each of the first BP and the numbers went up with each year! The final scenes of Attack of the Clones was one of the main reasons I wanted a large clone army. EBSWB: Is there a particular minifig among your legions that you like having a large amount of, or do you just build armies of whatever's easiest to obtain? The plain Clone Wars Clone. They are such a great looking figure and Look amazing in large numbers! EBSWB: You hoard sets that don't necessarily become a part of your armies. How do you decide to buy multiples of a set, and how do you store them? And, most importantly, where do you find the willpower to leave that much LEGO sitting around unopened? I only buy multiples of generic ships / vehicles. Gunships, AT-TE and TIE Fighters and the like. The one of stand alone type sets, Falcon and Slave 1 that kind of thing. Most sets end up in my loft/attic. I do open quite a lot of them contary to what alot of member think. Only last weekend I spent a afternoon in the loft opening sets and emptying them into Zip lock bags. EBSWB: You've also built a few MOCs. When do you decide to work on one of those instead of on the next addition to your armies? MOCing is one thing I really wish I made more time for. I have a Hoth MOC that has been a WIP since December 2007. I am even still buying parts for it from time to time. I have also been working on a Endor Ewok village MOC that is still very much unfinished. I will give you guys a sneak peak at that one. EBSWB: How has the LEGO hobby changed or impacted your life? Do you have any practical uses for LEGO? When I was a kid everyone said I would be a Bricklayer/Builder because of my love of lego and that is what I ended up doing with my professional life. EBSWB: Other than LEGO, do you have any other hobbies? I have been a Gamer since I was 12. I started with the Sega Master System and have had many consoles and many PCs since. I am currently playing Assassins Creed Revelations PS3 and Crysis 2 PC (I'm a little behind, I know) I also like to go mountain biking (it is good to get out side sometimes ). EBSWB: What inspired the name, 'mutley'? And why did you add the '777' at the end? Mutley was a bit of a nickname at school and so I have always used it for my online presence. The 777 part is just that 7 has always been lucky for me. EBSWB: What additions to your army can we expect in the future? Is there any minifig coming out in 2012 that you have your eye on? Geonosians ! I am up to 50 so far 10 of them zombies . I have wanted a Geonosian Battle Pack for a long time so I hope we might get one next year for Attack of the Clones 3D release.

Jedi Temple Mafia - Sign Up Thread
Piranha replied to Masked Builder's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
This looks fun. 1. Western, Roman & Imperial Soldiers. I get a pass on having to participate in a school game from Dragonator himself. 2. Full availability. 3. Boba Fett; never speaks much, awesome equipment and is just a cool character. -
Star Wars Phase 2 501st Clone Trooper
Piranha replied to JPOStudios's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Nice work! -
Thanks for bringing us this news! I myself am most interested in parts in new colors for this series. Other than that I think it is nice that TLG is open to making "special" series like this. I do believe that TLG has hidden Series 8 thus far not to steal hype for Series 7 and these.
-
Spectacular MOC brickcitydepot! All the little details are great. I would love it if TLG were to start making a series of Pirate buildings in the style of this and MMV. This would definitely get my support if it was on LEGO CUUSOO. Thanks for sharing!

Review: 1854 VELUX Promotional: House with Windows
Piranha replied to WideWiiLover's topic in LEGO Town
No VELUX House for me either unfortunately. -
Robbing from the rich; the Forestmen return!
Piranha replied to ED-209's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
These are all very nice designs that do pay homage to the classic Forestmen. My favorite would have to be the black and tan designs. -
That is an interesting point, if they ever make a modular train station, I would think, having the tracks go through the middle of the building would be the best solution. That way you have a front for the street and entrance and the back can be a mirror or have little food stands/small shops.
-
I just bought two of the new Marvel Superhero minifigs, Iron Man (Mark 6 Triangle Suit) and Captain America with his shield. I wasn't really interested in the sets they came in.
-
I was planning on doing the same thing with my Tony Stark, I think from the poster the official hair LEGO used was that same mold in dark brown.
-
Now that this set is discontinued, I unfortunately missed out on getting one and I was wondering if the current market price (at about $300) is still worth it for this ship?
