My vote goes to Marilyn Brickroe -
Of course almost everyone votes for the Queen. Time to give the Nurse a chance!
-
My vote goes for the Retro Spaceman!

Looks so peaceful. Wonderful picture. Light, colours and arrangement are just spot on Btw: The Dead Zone is also really good. Probably overlooked compared to later successes but it touches some interesting (and pretty current) topics. Thematically its similar to Insomnia, with somebody suddenly developing the talent to see things people can't see. I think it was the first novel by King I read and I found it quite moving.

The farmer can give the minotaur a nice stable to stay

This looks really impressive. Very nice (of course I mean "evil") cover motive.

O!dschool Gladiator FTW! Thats brilliant though!

[MOC] Blue shadows on the trail from The The Three Amigos
Littleworlds replied to MrLegoCollector's topic in LEGO Licensed
Ha! I love this silly film Cute little scene that really fits well to it -
Hello and welcome to Eurobricks! I'm sure you will enjoy it here

This is fantastic @Dark Tower: its been a while since I read the books. Maybe something I should get into again. I really have a soft spot for epic, long stories which are not typical fantasy. The Stand is pretty much in that direction as well. And Clive Barker's Imajica in its own, weird way These books (and a lot more; I probably read a meter of Stephen King books^^) inspired me a lot when I read them the first time in my teenager years. "It" is of course brilliant as well. Hard to believe how much great material King wrote in so short time!

Very cute. Its perfectly shaped (and timed! ).

I think its pretty hopeless trying to "squeeze" Minifigs into a scale, as they are effectively their own scale, being so disproportional to the human shape. So in that regard you could say if a Minifig fits in and is neither too big or two small, then the car/house/airplane/boat/whatever is right. However to get all the details and shaping on the speed champions right, they had to blow them up quite significantly sizewise, which makes them look to me quite disproportional to me (and they are not even 2 seater!). I think as a conclusion you can say that there will be never a perfect solution. Try to keep things looking at least coherent with each other and don't mind if its not all perfect to scale.

I just saw this one today. Its hilarious! A superfunny, adorable little build. Wonderful
-
I had the same thought. Also: its spring! Who fits better from all those than the Bumblebee Girl? She is even in the current banner Enjoy!

Mean looking guys! Just as they should be. Excellent! Well, I think what plays a big role in the direction the books developed was the sheer timescale during they have been written. The first volume was written in the mid 70s, and the last volume somewhen in the 2000s. That is a bloody long time to tell a story! And of course over so long time, the author himself changes. You just don't write in your 50s like you have written in your 20s. And the approach to the characters changes for sure as well as your personal horizon expands and your experiences you make shape you. I can remember to have read an interview where King described how he wrote the first volume. He was (which isn't really a secret) inspired by the spaghetti western with clint eastwood and I think the only thing he really had in the beginning was the picture of the gunslinger following the man in black. Literally how the whole story started. The rest, afaik, came later. So I think he just added layer after layer to it, and eventually embedded it into his own "expanded universe", where a lot of his other books are set in. Insomnia, for example, and Hearts in Atlantis, I think. And now I think I lectured enough off- topic^^

Looks extreme!y good! Sleek, mean and with just the right amount of colour accents. Well done!
-
The Goblin is nice, the Constable is nice... and has actually a slight edge of being just a little bit more iconic Minifig.
-
I like the Flamenco Dancer a lot, the waiter is charming, but... Shakespeare! To build or not to build, etc! How can't I vote for him!
-
To me, this round can only go to the Ice Cream Queen!

Nice characters! They really show some personality and bring me right back into the story. And its a fascinating one Be lucky that you started reading them now and not while he was still writing them. the first couple of books were released in quite short succession, but the during the 80s and 90s the gaps became longer and longer. To an extend where people started wondering if he will actually finish the series! (Sounds a bit like George R.R. Martin? Absolutely!^^). Sadly they also steadily declined, starting with the fourth volume, while the length of each book kept increasing. In the end I quite missed a lot of the raw, stripped down dynamic the earlier volumes had (the chapters with blaine were an amazing read and kind of peak of the whole series). Well, King can get quite rambling...

I would consider putting the buildings side-by-side on a shelf, so you get a nice urban-street facade, which does take away very little floor space. This variant is of course limited, depending what you want to do with it and not really a "proper" city layout, but has the smallest footprint I can think of.

Just opposite to me then The highlander is pretty cool but the rocket boy has that tad more charme and uniqueness.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 17 Rumors and Discussion
Littleworlds replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I can't help but with the current price incerease for the CMF, selecting a professional robber as their special character is a bit bad taste -
How unfair! The Battle Dwarf and the Barbarian in the same vote! It became the Barbarian for me in the end. One of my all-time favourites

No question for me: Elves rock!
