____________ Manbat, that'd be cool, but there is no such person as "Nighthawk" *wacko* They must mean Nightwing, who is a hero! ;-) Thanks for the news! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

____________ But can this be confirmed? I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

_______________ Yes this is another excellent exo-MOC LuxorV! :'-) Sorry I haven't commented earlier! :-$ The details are excellent, and the Techno-Hinckley is done well. That Hinck-bot is cute! *wub* The Giant hammer and minifig hammer are certaintly a treat and well suited. Good job! And even though I am not a very good mecha builder myself, I am all for a competition! So I can improve my skills and make everyone else look good! :-D I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Nearly finished my entry, its not as big as I would have liked, due to my other projects (So MANY competitions! :'-) |-/ :'-) |-/ ) Its pretty simple, will try to post it tomorrow or the next day, looking forward to winning! other entries! :-D I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

____________ No, trust me, its a Hobart thing! X-D :-P We Launcestonians are far above that! ____________ ____________ That could certainly be interesting! 8-

__________________ WHAT!?!?! X-O X-O You HAVE to watch Singin' in the Rain, its a classic! I say shame on you sir! :-P X-D Well, anyway, goodluck to both contestants, and remember, that both of you are winners. However, in a more accurate way, Barney is the winner! (have to be a Simpson fan to get that one ;-) ) I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Voted Moc 1, hard choice, they are both so great! *wub* I think that Moc 1 did take advantage of the themes by making two factions, but I love that futuristis pirate design, and the base doesn't stand a chance! Moc 2 is excellent aswell, but I see a bit too much Town House and AquaRaiders in it, and not enough Castle or Exo-Force elements. Welldone to both of you, MOCing Legends! *y* They are both worthy MOCs, and I forsee a very close result! I think I know who's is whom's, but won't reveal for anonymity sake! :-) I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Just watched my favourite animated movie and possibly one of my favourite movies of all time: Batman: Mask of Phantasm It was released the same year as The Lion King, and I believe IMO that it deserved the academy award instead of the Lion King. For those of you Batfans that don't know it (quite a lot I'd imagine) I recommend it. It is a brilliant tale of revenge, promise, justice and sadness. I'd even go as far as saying it is better than all the Batman movies (save Batman and Robin, and Forever, as they were both awful! :-X ) put together. And for the Star Wars fans, your own Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill, voices a wonderfully demented Joker! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

__________ Yes I agree, a few small modificatios have made them look SO much better! *sweet* Well done! *y* And yes, zero, that disk launcher creeps me out aswell 8-| ....... I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

________ Really? I would have thought that since it was a licenve that they would make it minifig scale! :'-( I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

_________ Yes, I still stalk you iamded! *skull* And also use your head in my MOCs! X-D I am glad that this time the "Crossbow Attack" style set has two enemies and only one dwarf instead of the reverse. I really want to make a bigger army of baddies! >:-) It also cements that Dwarves are a smaller race. That said, once I start working I must get more Crossbow Attack and Catapult Defense sets to build up the skellies! *skull* I am also hoping your theory about the catapult being launched by that black chain is right, A: because I *wub* chains, especially black ones, and B: because then the catapult would no longer be a KK catapult! I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

________ X-D Couldn't resist old chum! :-D I use your head in a lot of my creations, as I don't have your torso! See my Halloween car contest entry, you are in that aswell! Now vote for my entry or else! :-P I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

___________ Thats hilarious TinyPiesRUs! :-D Good Job! *y* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Brilliant enries Sinner and Sir Dillion! *sweet* *y* Mine is in now, no overlap :-P , but pretty tall! X-D I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Okay heres mine. So how do you kill a skellie? They can put themselves back together, and can't die by getting shot or stabbed. The only way is.........(cue dramatic music)........The Process Of FOSSILISATION! Yes, fossilisation, don't fight skellies, lead them into a tar pit or sinkhole! ;-) Slowly, over millions of years the skellies will move to the Earth's core as earthquakes send them further! >:-) At first, they are rather comfy, and enjoy their time away from the "ugly ole' gramps" (the dark wizard) (yes, they are eating iamded's head! X-D ) But then, after a while, it gets uncomfortable, and whats left of their blood drains back into whats left of their head, making them lose whats left of the feeling in whats left of their toes! After that, they can barely move at all, which kind of is annoying, since the only reason they took the "ugly ole' gramp's" job of "Army of the Dead" was to get out of those stinking cheap coffins! |-/ Until finally, they are burnt at the Earth's core, becoming one with the planet they so loved and ravaged! Of course, there are exceptions, legend has it that the rare black skellies (the one who were black on the surface, not just burnt) have an immunity to fire, and so maybe not ALL skellies can die! *skull* Or maybe they just do! And now, the REALLY REALLY REALLY old remaining survivor, can take solace in the fact that he won! :'-) Ten seconds before he died of old age! Oh, and Batbrick is there for some reason to! *wacko* Brickshelf gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=282058 Hoped you liked it! :-) I AM FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

___________ Thanks *sweet* I like to try and mix grey and bley every once in a while to prove that they can still work. I also have a love affair with chains! *wub* They are one of my favourite peices, and I couldn't make a vig without one! :-D I'm glad that you called it grounded in classic imagery, as that was what I was trying to achieve. Thanks again! :'-) _______________ _________ Thanks Dr. S! Funny thing, the dark shots were taken on a leather chair! :-D And yes, in many interpretations, the police of Gotham are being paid off by the mob to "look the other way", or are just plain lazy. Of course there are good cops, like Gordon, but most are just as bad as the crooks outside. Thanks for your comments everyone, much appreciated! *sweet* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

________ Thanks, I love getting more chains, I might make a MOC featuring heaps of them! ;-) No offense though, but thats what i find more interesting about Batman, he can't always save the day, and no matter what, he never wins or gets the girl, he's doomed to live a life alone......... :'-( Rant over! :-D I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Finally here it is: A little backstory- Gotham has become a hellhole full of crime and villainy. The mob rules the city, and the police are highly corrupt, leaving the people no defense against the monstrous acts of violence that occur each and everyday. In a shocking act, Killer Croc robs a pedestrian at gunpoint, RIGHT in front of the Gotham central policestation windows. No help comes. Croc shows no mercy, and prepares to fire, as a silent, black-clad wraith swings in to stop what could be yet another murder. The Dark Knight has not much time, can he succeed? I put my old dirty trans peices on to make it more gritty. I love this shot above, Batman is just visible, he's such a stealthy crimefighter! >:-) I like this one too. I think the lighting worked best in this one, the reflection off the Trans peices makes it look like the lights are on, as if the Police simply do not care about whats happening outside. Brickshelf Gallery: (Not yet public I don't think) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=282063 Hope you like it. And btw iamded, THIS is why Batman owns! :-P I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

There is a second wave of Indy based on the fourth movie. I would guess that there is a large set about the same size as King's castle Seige being released later as part of the castle theme, maybe a Troll Fortress? There is the Cafe Corner extension green grocer too, don't forget. And i think there was a "very special castle item" coming at the end of the year too. Oh, and Batman I'd expect as well ;-) I reckon that what we have seen so far is definitely the bulk of next years items, but not all. I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

___________ Oh yea I agree with you, I'll still try to army build them, but for now I need to get my skellies up! ;-) I REALLY hope a second wave of impulse sets come later in the year with a black skellie, white skellie and archer! *wub* Dwarves would look cool as seige teams. Thanks TheFrisian! *y* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

My one gripe about the dwarves is that I think they won't look good in an army. I might be wrong, but legions of the undead look better in swathes, as do knights, but Dwarves have beards that will look all the same, and since when were Dwarves in large numbers anyway? But it seems that we don't get many Dwarves anyway, I just think that wave1 had factions more suited to army building ;-) I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Happy Birthday Hinckley! *sweet* Thanks for making us all so welcome and making EB an even nicer place! *y* Have a great one! :'-) (oh, and since you like my old sign-off better, heres one for you:) Batbrick Away! >:-)

_______ And I STILL haven't got Cafe Corner or Market Street! :'-( I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*

Very intelligent Natelite! *y* It fits in excellently with the Steampunk ship, proving that it mat be a little useful! Great MOC too! *sweet* I Am FEAR Incarnate! *skull*
