http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18247 The Ultra Drill Walker is better, I'd say.

Three things this review missed: 1 - the plane has landing gear, some of which hides behind hinged panels. 2 - the plane's wings both swing out when you pull the tab on the back of the plane. 3 - the plane's got a lot of blue that's not visible on most of the official photos. It's a great plane, though. I wish it was Mini-fig compatible.

Ogel.

yessssssssssss. Hopefully.

C'mon SPACE (and Castle)!

Space Police I means Blacktron I. And Blacktron I means AWESOME. That being said, the Rebel Hunter is a really nice piece of engineering, and while the Mission Commander looks way cooler than the Galactic Mediator, the GM is much more spacious and stable... but SPI *did* have some semblance of a Base... tough call, though!

I come not to bury Giddens, but to praise him: The colours are lovely. The assortment is perfectly fine - a land vehicle, small and medium fliers, and a small base. The panel stickers are great. And I have two Star Justice LDD MOCs coming my way. ...but I guess I'm just not thrilled with the parts selection (too many tiny indistinct pieces; I'm used to at least a few bigger parts) and what I term the 'inelegance' of some steps. It just feels un-LEGO to me to have steps with 14 of the same piece being used in it, a BURP covered in 1x1 slope tiles, and a 2x2 tile half-affixed (and as an academic, I'm willing to cite steps for all of these.) Maybe this is common in the AFOL building circles, but it was a bit of a culture shock to build it for myself. Also, the instructions skip a bunch of tiny steps and I was missing a tile! (yes, I contacted customer service, it's on the way. )

Holy thread necromancy, Batman! ... so I've just finished building my Star Justice set, and I'm ... not sure what to make of it. More detailed thoughts will follow, but I'd like to take a moment to complain: I'm missing two 2x2 white tiles and a 1x1 black round brick. :(

Very neat. I dig the minifigures, too - are those decals?

To the best of my knowledge, Renaud Bray is a chain, and a gift card for one store is accepted at any of them. Don't take my word for it, though - call and ask. That being said, don't trust them on inventory. Just go back next weekend and see if it's there then.

Commandes is (at least) Quebec-French for 'orders'. In other news, I've seen the Homing Spider Droid and the Twilight at an Ottawa-area TRU.

Good catch. It makes me MORE awesome.

I bought mine in a Canadian TRU yesterday. $94.99, ouch. But now I've got an Ultra Drill Walker, and that makes me awesome.

Bran Van 3000. And you should too.

I think the current suspicion is that the Undersea Mission will be $50 at Target.

The latter, I expect.

OK, guys - someone has to say it. There are no instructions (that I've found, anyway)... just the cards.

Will you be reviewing the Starfleet Voyager as well? (and if so, the combo model?)

I love this set so much that I'm staying unspoiled for it (unspoilt?) - I'm not going to read any reviews or look at online instructions or galleries. I just want to sacrifice an afternoon to it. It's beautiful.

I tried to see the free Bran Van 3000 concert in Montreal... but I got turned away. Too many people! (something like 100,000!)

I love it. I want it.

Why not ask the *FOL themselves?

I am well aware that this model dates back two or more years. I was still wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it. I am also curious as to how you know it's a great model if you've never built it. It's *very* fragile, especially where the shoulders connect to the torso.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=161353 Has anyone built this? I've just made one, and I'm quite impressed... if a bit unsettled. It's quite fragile... I haven't even tried to transform it yet.

I agree with SuvieD. The wings feel very out of place in their current configuration. Otherwise, a very nice colour scheme. I could be fooled into thinking it was real... I miss Blacktron.
