    ^I have PoS and PoI... I really liked PoS, but PoI is pretty forgettable. Now, if only my Target ever actually had the creatures...

    Has anyone heard anything about that Airport Fire Truck? I was kind of interested... Technic doesn't make many fire trucks any more.

    I saw this over on the Brickset Forum... some nature presenter named Ben Fogle has issued a statement saying the usual misinformed garbage about "LEGO used to be just boxes of bricks when I was a kid, modern-day sets with newfangled instructions to build something are ruining creativity," and also stuff like "LEGO is turning us into mindless government drones with instructions!" which is clearly a pile of megabloks. This guy apparently marketed the Forest Police line in 2012... what an idiot. Here's the article: https://inews.co.uk/essentials/news/education/lego-ruined-world-says-ben-fogle/

    Wait, it's the Caterham Super Seven that comes out first, right? I'm still kinda (OK, very) confused about that set. Is it two different cars sold together, just one car, one that rebuilds into another with some different colored bricks a la 21305? Do we have any idea how much this would cost? Is Adventure Time just going to be the brick built figures? That would be kind of a waste if that's all they did.

    Clones look awful... not that I was ever a fan of the Rebels designs for them anyway, but those figures look BAD. Sabine is still inaccurate as hell... pale skin, no actual colors on her armor, that ridiculous hair. I do really like the minifigs in the CTT, though... might actually get that set. Cool build AND cool figures. Hardly ever see that these days.

    Okay. Thanks! I look forward to a review of Destroyerak.

    I do really like Storm Beast's function, but he looks pretty bad. Still, I might just buy him and modify the actual action figure-y bits into something better-looking, because the tail thing is mesmerizing. Is this guy going to do Quake Beast soon?

    Just visited shop.lego.com... Assault on Hoth has about two stars on the rating thingy under each product description. Typically, you don't see many negative reviews on S@H. I wonder if LEGO will do something about this... maybe a WALL-E style service pack with all the pieces to complete the builds, Leia, Chewie, a parka for Han, and an AT-ST. If they bumped up the price to $260 and added that in... maybe they'd be on to something.

    I don't tell people things about me. Go away.

    Ekimu looks... safe. Safe as in there isn't really anything interesting about his design, and he seems kinda gappy. Now, that Umarak mask is flippin' amazing, and now I want to replace my Umarak's trans-bright green with trans-neon orange from Uniter Tahu... but this model is just meh.

    Thanks Sci! I didn't think that Axl's vehicle was that much...OK, might not get that one.

    Um, there's an age restriction on Ideas right? Everything on the tumblr site looks like it was made by a 7-year-old with no computer skills and possibly a mental disorder. (Yes, even 75098.)
  13. PicnicBasketSam
    Anybody know how much Axl's Tower Carrier and General Magmar's Siege Engine of Doom are supposed to cost? Those sets look like great fun, especially considering they're essentially the same type of vehicle.
  14. PicnicBasketSam
    That's really cool... but how stable is it? That antenna looks a bit unsafe for anyone under the age of 20 to be around.
  15. PicnicBasketSam
    I kinda like the build in the Eclipse Fighter set... also, when are we going to get some info about the Rogue One sets?! I want my AT-ST already!
  16. PicnicBasketSam
    The inconsistency with the dual-molded legs really bothers me. It's like LEGO is saying to their customers, "Can't afford our best sets/don't want our crappy *cough* Rhino Construction Site *cough* sets? Too bad, incomplete minifigure for you!

    Last movie on the big screen was Batman v. Superman back in April. What an awful movie that was. The actual last movie I watched was The Force Awakens, which was more awesome in the theater, but still great.
  18. PicnicBasketSam
    Watched the review. It's a good review, but that set is just... He looks like a plucked chicken that's been set on fire, and he's too short to have any menace to him. Makes even Pohatu look good...
  19. PicnicBasketSam
    Sturdy design? Not with THOSE legs. And honestly, what's the point of an uncloseable mouth? OK, I'm just not getting any of these now.
  20. PicnicBasketSam
    Heh heh... I was going to list some other sets and then went and did something else. "Certain others sets" would be the Iron Spider set, the jeep with Hawkeye, the Hydra Fortress, Clash of the Heroes, and the Deadshot set.The last one isn't so bad, but it's not actually good build-wise.
  21. PicnicBasketSam
    Martin Freeman?! *passes out in disbelief*
  22. PicnicBasketSam
    Dear god that car thing is ugly... who needs actual LEGO when you can make modern art with Build With Chrome?

    Donald Trump Conquers The Martians.

    Playing 'spot the new pieces' with Killer Croc set... non-minifigure new pieces are basically just the boomerang. That's OK. The builds of that set are awful, and unlike some of you folks, I won't buy an awful-looking $80 set for a few minifigures. And yes, I did buy the Quinjet primarily for Vision, but the actual models were good enough to justify it. Unlike certain other sets. *cough*
  25. PicnicBasketSam
    That looks terrific. No wonder I didn't even recognize the ion cannon in 75098 when I first saw pictures of the set...
