  1. Well in that case LEGO REALLY needs to start taking a better look at the stuff that companys doing .
  2. My little theory is that the arms and legs are remocable but of course thats not possible because of the wiring from the torso to the legs... to be honest Im only saying that for some hope that this was not done by the LEGO group, seriously if this is done by LEGO than Im wondering if the guys who made this were drinking during the job . Well um anyway Id say the one with no pants is worse than the one with no torso. The bare torso doesnt matter too much, Ive seen muscular (*ahem* also some fat men)running with no shirt on at the park.
  3. I care squat about accuracy... accually not really Im mostly thinking about the new Geonosian Starfighter while Im wrting this. I cant stand that huge hole in the center no matter how accurate it is so... I guess I cant really blame lego for accuracy so... WHY LUCASFILM WHY! Okay Im done now back to topic, so yeah it sort of depends. I guess accuracy is good on beutiful ships and speeders and such like the scout troopers speeder (Why cant they get it right! Its so obvious that all you need is a Slizer/ Throw bots head peice without the printing in brown to make the front right!) but on other stuff like the geonosian star fighter accuracy should be bent a little like with the last geonosian fighter and pretend like LEGO had no idea about it... I guess LucasFilm got on LEGO's case about it and made them do another one . So really if the ship thing or speeder looks good than accuracy would be nice but overall it really just depends.
  4. Accually they are quite rare if I do say so myself. I have one but I wonder how much theyre worth on Brick link. For all I know they were exclusively put in small plastic bags filled with other random bricks in 2011 in the March (I think?)LEGO Club meeting. I find that that this minifig is great but one thing- Mine has a small face misprint! At the bottom of the mouth is a small spot that got scratched off and the face looks weird! If you need me, Ill be looking on Brick link for another one of these- I am VERY strict about my figs and that misprint is truly unacceptable in my eyes especially with how much a prized minifig this is .
  5. Well to the people saying that the cloud car is fake- Obviously if this is real this must be in a VERY early stage. I mean really depending on this pic it could really be the old cloud car exept the LEGO group tinkered with this a bit to make it look new but obviously the real set(if it really exists) is in a very early stage and the whole design has't been finished so they simply edited a box work really quickly... okay your probobly saying that LEGO wouldnt release a set picture JUST for us to know that it will exist, but then again, why do they host toyfairs? I must say this makes no sense that this is an April Fools joke because LEGO is NOT stupid enough to do that. The only evidence that we have that proves this is FAKE is that the picture looks poor (Also there is no premilary thing but of course if you remember the first picture we got from the Naboo Starfighter was final). I wouldnt dought this of a set because I read something on Toys and Bricks or someplace that LEGO is going to release more surprise sets for 2011. I presume most of this is true but if you think this is all an April Fools joke then I dont know what goes on in your head because for LEGO to do something like that is cruel, a false promise. So im leaning toward REAL on this one but if Im wrong, Ill take it with dignity.
  6. Oh wow... That looks great! I dont really like the head but thats the only CON. The coppit looks great and fits in with the rest of the mech like its a decoration but its still understandable thats its the coppit and I think thats the best place you could possibly put it. Good job.
  7. Well just so you know Im not exactly an "Advice God" but I think that this is coming out great. Sorry If I sound pushy but these are just my pinions and Im absolutely in LOVE with this MOC and I understand your brick collection may not be able to handle the advice Im gonna give you but Im just saying where the MOC needs work. So my reccomendations for making this MOC better start with the nose problem. I think you said that you had trouble with getting it round or watever (Im sorry my brains rusty!). SO try usig the inside of the nose. I saw the pic where I could see through the nose so that made me think the inside of the nose need work. Try filling it in with different peices. Im not sure how much you can fit in there but its worth a try. Also Im wondering if you have or will put transparent parts on the back of the four engines. Try to make its as un studdish as possible because the X-Wing is very smooth and sleak. The wings should be about maybe 2 plates thick. I reccomend putting plates on every studdy part but leave like a 1x6 space in there (prefferably the wings)and put a 1x6 plate with studs in that space becayse that type of stuff just makes me fall head over heels. Also Im wondering about the coppit but I cant say anything about that because its hard to pick one out and I theres no picture showing it so Ill leave that mainly up to you. I also dont know if youre doing the function of the wings but I suppose you could take LEGO's and make it bigger but I suppose thats playgerism... so I guess maybe If you are doing the function you have to find a new route. LAst thing is landing gear. I think I have a good idea for the landing gear if your going to add it. The part is called- Undercarriage 2X2x2 , according to LEGO Pick a Brick online. Not sure how accurate it is and if it has been used on official LEGO X-Wings before but all I know is that it looks good for landing gear on a ship like this.
  8. Well Hans hair looks like gentle man hair, but yes his torso is terrible. Hopefully when we get the set the torso will be better.
  9. Well you cant expext LEGO to make a new face for every person every time. But I have to say I do agree with the fact that licenced themes could use new faces. But... then again if LEGO used that face on her before and it fits, I dont see any reason for them to make a new one. Leias new hair peice is a bit unsensible. I guess LEGO has either gone crazy with making new molds thinking everything they once did isnt good anymore, or they simply dont like the old hair peice anymore. Maybe the new one is more accurate, dunno. I like Lukes hair a lot. LEGO has used the original "Gentle Man hair" as I like to call it on him sometimes and other times the girl hair so that was a big diosappointment. I agree with people that its time for LEGO to trash Han's Gentle man hair and get a new hair due.
  10. I dont see how my post is hard to read at the least. Its better than having to read my hideous, second grade level hand writing. Anyway true he didnt see the way of the jedi I just stop thinking sometimes. I just cant keep my words from stopping, they seem to role, wrole, rowl (I cant spell that word!) out. Acually I find that I watched episode 1, then 2, then 3, then4, then 5, then 6. I see that they werent all made at the same time and episode 4 appears to be the first made I find it so much better to watch them as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 than to jumble them all up. If I had watched the movie incorrectly than it wouldnt have made sense to me, I find the story easyer to start with episode 1. Anyway thank you on the information on the naboo starfighter, I was wondering about that a bit. Im hoping it has chrome parts even though I dought I will buy it but just think of all the little happy LEGO/ Star Wars fans that will squel in happyness and dig money out of their piggy banks. And what exactly is the whole like ship thing or what, I dont understand a thing about that (Considering I dont know every little bit of the movie).
  11. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST SAW THE LAST EPISODE OF STAR WARS!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!! All the episodes come together and make it wonderful!!! Vader seeing the way of the Jedi was so beutiful even to such an ugly face he ended up having. But I almost fainted in happyness when I saw him from when he was young. I am so sad for people who died like padmay Amidalla but of course it makes the story so beutiful. I am so sorry Im blabbing all my emotiones here I should know better but I just cant keep them in!!! I am disappointed with the Millemium Falcon but I will buy it. I will make the interior much more appealing for I am not too sucked into realisticness. The little ewok set is a tiny bit overpriced but I KNOW its worth the money for me. My only complaint is seeing how in-accurate the speeder bike is (I know what I said but just look at it!). Its nice and all but its just not correct. The front is absolutely the worst part but the handle bars are nice. I will make the tree my own little thing right there. I will do quite some stuff to it though. The savage speeder thing or watever doesnt attract me. Mostly because I dont like the ship in general but I think LEGO stuck to accuracy nicely and the figs are nice but its just one of those sets you dont really notice. The Republic Frigate is looking good and the figs have really caught my eye(I like the most, which one, guess can you? [The talk is being practiced, it is.]) The ship is really nice too but I will make my own adjustments so it if I get it. Darth Mauls Ship looks great and has lots of great parts but Im not getting it. The studs are fine and I dont understand the "IT HAS TO BE SMOOTH!!! SMOOTH GGGGGGRRRRRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" type of people but I guess studs can be found un appealing but it looks fine. The Geonosioan Starfighter is a definate buy. It has great figs and its a beutiful ship but I will cover up that hole in the center and I dont care how accurate it is Im changing it. The pod racers sets look incredible and its smart how they made transparent technic beams to make it work (the last set like this I remember used sand peices and what ). The figs are pure masterpeices but I wont buy this set (With Alien Conquest and Star Wars being so ausome this year, Ill barely have money for a gum ball (like 25 cents). But this set looks great and although Im not buying it, LEGO. Great job and youve really out done yourself. My only dislike is the thing that holds them up but its ok, Im not buying it anyway. I have one question though, whats with the Naboo Star fighter thing? I saw the premilary minifig images so is it real or not? It looks nice even though weve gotten plenty before (If it comes out it BETTER have chrome peices).
  12. I just love these type of models where you use tons of cool small elements and make a huge model. Good job I love it.
  13. Yeah... First of all the names Bricker... try to remember that please, Ill get my picture up soon when I feel like going on Brick Link and ordering the peices for my minifig then taking pictures of it, then posting it... any way the pitch fork IS in fact a new peice. Look at the finalized pictures for Alien Conquest (it was updated on the first post). The pitchfork is clearly shown to be new, besides police might arrest you if they see you walking around with a trident... yeah sorry not very funny is it? Ive never been much of a joker, we can all understand why now... any way yes the pitchfork is a new mold. Sorry I had so many off- topic things on right here.
  14. Well we sort of have evidence about that but its not much and its not really enough to tell us if this is the last series. You see for series 1 and 2 they were both held in one year. Then series 3, 4, AND 5 are all in one year. I predict if there was to be more they would divide it into 2 years in a row but since 5 is an odd number, they had to cram 3 series into one year. Thats not exactly a whole lot of information but it does tell us something so that leaves us with a bit of evidence. P.S. I think I might have named every minifig weapon ever made by LEGO in my last reply .
  15. Very true Aanchir, very true. I dont recall LEGO making any "promise" but there is no proof LEGO will not use those new molds (accsesorys, hats)in other themes. Doing that would discrase other Minifigures. I think that LEGO HAS to make an element be used at least more than once (Bionicle/HeroFactory being accesption for they do not use the stud system). For example- In Home One Calamari (Star Wars set), a new mold was made for the calamari dudes. The head was used again in Greviouses Starfighter. A peice using the stud system HAS to be used more than once. You think this may not be true like the Plo Koon head but even though it wa used for the same purposes(maybe even torso) it was used in the first Shuttle set or what, then in his own StarFighter. So this should be the same with LEGO Minifigures. We shall see more of these peices else where. As long as the element is used twise, it is allowed. Color/printing doesnt affect this deal in any way (Happened with Squid man head).
  16. I see what you cannot see.

  17. I just knew LEGO was going to some how find a way to relrealese all the figs. I just couldnt figure out how. Thumbs up LEGO . You found the PERFECT exuse for rereleasing them.
  18. I just noticed that the gladiator has a new sword. I LOVE IT!!! Wow Im happy LEGO is taking consideration in their weapons . So let me list all the (non licenced)weapons that are new for 2011. We have the Alien Conquest double barrel gun, the Atlantis Trident, the Kingdoms pitch fork, the Muskateers sword from series 4 of LEGO Minifigures, the axe from the tree chopper this year from LEGO Minifigures series 5, and that gun that was used in the Alien and Blacktron Guy from series 3, the elfs bow and arrow, the new sword/dagger from Series 5 LEGO Minifigures, the spear from the Indian series 3, and im not sure if its new but the new/old gun from the soldier with the big hat from series 5. Is that all? Correct me if I missed any. We didnt have a wide selection of weapons for our figs before did we? 2011 bought us wonderful gifts of deadly weapons. I was waiting for something new. Here are all the weapons we had before.pirate sword, LEGO Agents pistol, Indiana Jone pistol, the two peice castel axe, the knight sword, cross bow, bow and arrow, the regular dagger, pirate musket, pirate pistol, long thing that knights carry on horses and charge at each other, the gun with round barrel on the bottom, the gun used in Batman that the henchman carry, large missile thing that Wrench uses from Space Police, Knights Kingdom sword, I believe there was a second Castel sword, regular musket, the weird gun with long nozzle and scope, the long axe with the ocean curved blade, scyth, castel thing with spiked ball at edge of chain, the under water typoon gun like in Aqua Raiders, long castel spear with 5 spikes coming out of top, long one peice axe, the two types of wips, the cave man club, chipped ogre blade, ninja blades, the Space Police gun, and spear. Correct me if I missed any (Im pretty sure I missed some ). We have some licened weapons like the Star Wars gun (Long, medium, and new for 2011 are the short ones), the Star Wars pistol as seen with some clones, the cool Prince of Persia dagger of time, and the light saber from Star Wars (Asaj, Dookoos, regular, and any others) (Correct me if I missed any other licenced weapons from LEGO). So now we have a very generous edition to our weapons categories thanks to 2011 and we should give a big chunk of credit to LEGO Minifigures. I predinct if LEGO Minifigures doesnt end at series 5 well them we will be swimming in weapons in 4 years (approxomate). I will not consider sheilds to be weapons sorry;also lots of other other weapons like mega phone can be used as weapons but are not directly meant to be a weapon. I wish I could but I cannot consider the throwing pie that the small clown from LEGO Minifigures series 5 has . I will not consider the Nuclear Worker from LEGO Minifigures series 4 accesory to be a weapon. I will not consider the pharoas staff from LEGO Minifigures series 2 to be a weapon. I will not consider the Nurses needle from LEGO Minifigures series 1 to be a weapon. I must say that LEGO is not very creative when choosing the colors for the minifigs packets. I wish they made this series packets purple or at LEAST red because it would look nice and they have not done that yet. The Minifigs look great this series. I like how they re-used parts from previous series on new figs (Its not ALL about the new molds ). I love the printing on the figs that LEGO is doing. I NEED that hoodie peice from the skate boarder from series 1 (My chance is coming in April where I will get it from Pick a Brick parts if they add it [read the forum]). I also like the new skate boarders outfit (the hat has a 2x2 brick on it . Too bad no hair under it .) a little. I would love the graduate because then I can make a graduation cermonie for me (I HAVE TO GET MY GRADUATION PICTURE OUT OF MY MOMS PICTURE FRAM, ITS EMBARRASING ). The eskimo is really nice so I can make myself a nice winter coat. I NEED the small clowns pie, BECAUSE I LOVE PIE! When I first say the guard with the big hat I first thought it was his hair but then I got a clue that is was one of those British soldiers or what. I NEED that little monkey from the zoo keeper. The spy guy looks nice Im only wondering if you can put a guitar in ther (like from series 4). The Dinosaur is really neat and when I get the right stuff for a stop motion camera- I can already see the title on You Tube (The Kids Party). The boxer looks really nice and I think his gloves attach the way the cheerleaders did but wouldnt it be something if they were a new hand mold? LEGO attempted to make a two headed Minifigure for a Space Police crook (only thing that stopped them was that the kids they tested him with didnt understand him *shrug* Dont know what planet those kids are from)so it wouldnt suprise me if they tried something new like that (the figs body parts. They did it with the pirates so why not this?). The work out ladie make me laugh when I think of her (That gives me an idea for a stop motion. Ill need a few sumo bodys and series 2 surfer shorts plus her. It shall be a work out scene). Snow Boarder will go nicely next to my other snow boarder. Great jacket too. The Dwarf is a disappointment because its nothing new because you can buy a Dwarfs Mine and get like 5 of those. I like the Gladiator especcially because of his sword. The tree chopper has a nice axe which would go nicely in a fire station. Cleopatra looks nice and would look great next to the Pharaoa from series 2. The cave woman is nice and would be a nice edition to the cave family (some short legs another cave man and cave woman, different heads and hair, and you have a cave family!). Finally I think the detective is an exelent peice of work, good job LEGO (Sherlock Holmes anyone?). Overall I give this series a 10/10. Yep your eyes are fine! This theme has absolutely zero flaws for me and every fig is one youll love even if you already got one. The peices are great for MOCing and although the colro is OK I still find it appealing. I love this theme because I wont complain whenever I get an extra fig when my dot reading calculations are wrong (I HATE THE STINKIN RACER FROM SERIES 3!!! I ALREADY HAVE LIKE 5 OF HIM AND HE HAS NO GOOD PARTS EXEPT FOR HIS HAIT AND I THINK HESE HIDDEOUS). So overall this theme is GREAT .
  19. OH WOW. It looks like LEGO made this for a magazine or what. It really represents the old and new stuff and it really fits together. It doesnt use much alien conquest but it still is very nice. I can think up of 1 million stories from looking at this once (You see Im a great at makin up stories).
  20. Okay, Ive always been pretty good at puzzles but this time... yeah I barely have a clue. I suspect it has something to do with LEGO Minifigures and action themes. Apparently on the LEGO Minifigures package there are question marks everywhere. Also the minifig stands are there so I think this is some combination of LEGO Minifigures and major action themes. This is really a tough code. I barely have any idea but this is all I can seem to figure out.
  21. Well we have seen the finalized pictures so now we just have to wait for them until summer. I wonder what suprises well find that we dont know about when we get reviews on these. Im talking about stuff like Stormer 1.0's arm being hollow and stuff like that . Im more in the mood of getting Star Wars sets this year so im getting like only 3 of these (If I can manage to get the money for them). Im hoping LEGO will see the better side and make the sets' prices lower or devishly make them higher than expected . But the prices are final, right? RIGHT!?!?!? *panick* My wallet is in bad shape from series 3 minifigures and I dont think it can take anymore surprises .
  22. I accually like the fact that his new snow trooper is dirty. It gives the feeling of ash like he is coming out of a war.
  23. Wow. Im hating Witch Doctor more and more by the moment . He looks just flat out ugly. The chest is plain and I hate that armor peice at the top of the chest armor. In fact, its not just witch doctor, in my eyes all the villians (Von-Nebula, Fire Lord, Witch Doctor)have been very poorlt built. It appears that LEGO is making big giants and is focusing more on making the villian big and double rods on the feet and such giving the appearance that the villian is big and scary but I think theyve lost it when it comes to design. Overall they just look absolutely hideous . Rocka XL is OK but those spike in back of his/her head really turns the set off for me. I love spikes and stuff and I bet LEGO does too but this is the point where LEGO goes crazy with them and puts them on all sorts of places where they ruin the set. I feel that that is a stupid place to put spikes (They did the same thing with spikes on Witch Doctor). When will you learn LEGO . All the heros look nice but Stringer isnt as great as I thought he would be. Rocka- The white is OK and the headress is a little big. Rocka's claw or what looks a bit odd. Bulk- Fabulous. Best of this wave. Furno- Hese quit nice and the helmet looks nice. The blades on his upper arms turn this set off but that can easily be fixed. I suppose theyre his "wings" since he is an eagle. Stormer- He looks quite nice. I think they sort of lost his personality in 2.0 but this brings it back a little. Nex- He looks nice, VERY noce accually. I think he is probobly one of the best heros, if not THE best hero of this wave. Stringer- Im not sure what about him but I expected a little more from him. I still think he is a very nice set though. The beasts, Im not to sure about them. I know that I will not get one but they still look OK. Waspix isnt as great as I expected him to be. That green spider thing appears to be the worst set of this wave, right before Witch Doctor because he is the worst Hero Factory set I have ever seen.
  24. Heh heh I accually like it when LEGO makes lots of money, that means they can make more stuff for fans and cooler sets and more new molds. I hope LEGO makes a pause after series 5 and re-realeses series 1-2-3-4-5 one at a time for fans to collect the ones they missed. Its extremely unlikely but its possible.
  25. A male student with a book bag (back pack) and a pencil. A teacher with an apple. A shower guy with agent chase hair in brown to make it look like its wet and a toothbrush with tooth paste bottle. A super hero. A female space police (special costume and hair with helmet) with a blaster. A barber shop worker with a pair of scissors and hairspray. An angel with new hair with halo and a pair of wings and golden arrow. A man in a chicken suite with a new chicken hat peice. A todler with either a minifig statue in blue to represent and action figure or a new peice of a small lego brick (will have pin on bottom to hold onto) in any color. A garbage guy who has a ski pole thing in grey and that peice that goes on a minifigs back (like a big bucket) and a peice of trash (stud in brown). A computer fixer with a screw driver and glasses printed on his face. A ignorant teenager with an I-pod printed on the side of his left leg and a beanie and closed eyes and a hoodie. A news man with a special blue suite and has a microphone and a 2x2 studless plate with it saying Brick News and a tiny picture and unreadable words. A kid who gives papers with a bike with a paice that attatches to the front as a basket and a rolled up news paper (new mold). Those are all the ideas I have right now. I will post more when I get more ideas. Sorry I did not put the figs in the format but I had so many ideas I just couldnt use it for all of them.
