Batbrick

This thing is beautiful, absolutely charming. Creations like tihs really make male me feel warm inside for some reason, stuff that reminds me why I loved this toy as a kid and what I aspired to make. Love the little mechanisms, chains and tracks, those and the overall studlessness and ingenious construction all add up to a magnificent moc. Thanks for sharing! Batbrick Away!

Great first part! I love the humour here, Shwartz is looking pretty cool and egotistical as usual, I like the space jacket touch. Awesome to see G-Bot again, I was hoping tihs line would continue, and the "manufactured offspring" joke was hilarious. Love Shwartz rather deadpan look at the camera too. Wow! That was quick! , poor Shwartz gotta feel sorry for the guy. The ship disguise was great too, looks quite cool right next to the space police ship, I imagine some trouble may be up ahead... Batbrick Away!

Yeah, I'll hold off the mods for a while though, like you displaying is no problem as the front is the selling point of the set. Good choice for the short gun too, it looks cooler in my opinion anyway. The minicopter is going to the scrap for me, too many cool parts. Plus that silver slope, and two 1x1 silver slopes will be very nice to have. Ha, hope you get your money soon then. Flirting eh? What kind of flirting? I knew you'd come round, so predictably fanboyistic of oyu. Of course, as my good friend says: "To be geek is to be human" I'll definitely put it off for now, I really want to make Wayne Manor an achievement, and at the moment that can't happen. I want it to be huge and grand, so for onw i'm moving on to Poison Ivy's greenhouse. What else places are there to make? I want to do Freeze's laboratory with Nora too. I'm not into sport in the least either, I don't even have a football team! My teacher now calls me "A horrible cynical unpatriotic little man" now Although I'm a champ at Table tennis. Personally, I find the Olympics a waste of time and money. No I didn't see that, I'll watch and see it sometime, Funny thing, just after watching the movie the second time there was a nuclear documentary on tv regarding missiles, and that exact same precise footage came on! That is one of my favourite bits though: "Did we do anything wrong Batman?" "You sold a pre atomic military submarine to a man who didn't even leave his address! Good day Commander" It also means I can relive all my favourite childhood shows. I'm definitely near that ponit I promise you, I'm in the fourth season of five of The Twilight Zone and this is the longest part as it is the maligned "hour episode" season. Though I did watch a clip of Batman the other day of Robin catching a batarang with his teeth after being thrown off a building with his hands tied, and was promptly lifted up. Holy jaws of steel! Apparently she is good in No Man's Land, I really want to read the rest of that arc, I love what they did with Two-Face. I need to get Mad Love too, you read that? Cat Scratch Fever I hate because of the awful animation, dear goodness it is terrible. One minute Batman is normal, the next he has the body of Bane times two, then he is a shapeless blob! I love Joker's answering phone too, a nice but sadistic touch that it wasn't him screaming too. I love the Junior Kruchy Cereal Air Commando badge he wears whilst flying the plane. A nice reference to the Neal Adams days with the ending too. Hugo Strange sharing the secret is based off Strange Apparitions, a wonderful collection by Steve Engelhart. Thanks, I'll check them out sometime. I did it a little in first place, there are quite a few rhymers in the story, I love Humpty though, so cute in an innocent and incredibly obese way, with those stubby little legs I lent this comic to my friend under the codename "The Package" (We're great lovers of movie espionage) because he read a little in class and loved it. I told him he wouldn't understand the end though and he wouldn't like it but he didn't give in. Deep down I think he'll like it though, he is also borrowing BTAS, so I am turning him to comics side Speaking of comics, I went into Birchalls yesterday and spied Gotham Central: Unresolved Targets for sale. I bought it not long after, and loved it a lot. Have you read it or any of the Gotham Central series? It centers completely around the MCU of Gotham City with a cast of largely unkowns with only cameo appearances from Batman. Joker is very badass in this, he is what Heath's Joker could've and should've been: A funny, psychopathic and dark clown that still has the permanent features and dapper look while retaining a sadistic playful side. Infact, Gotham Central itself is how BB and TDK should've gone with their realism, a gritty and grounded but never fully realistic environment pitting ordinary people against extraordinary. My mother is also ordering Haunted Knight for me tomorrow, so all is well in the comics so far. Funny that it took me so long ot start collecting TPBs, it seems so stupid looking back, trying to find all the stories scanned on the net. Oh dear! Batbrick Away!

That's the one, good news that hopefully rings true. I'm indifferent over it. If it's shorter then I'm all for non-speaking characters and the ensuing fun. On the other hand though, if they are twenty minute shows, then definitely get voices for the characters I say, Lego is all about imagination, so it's not a huge stretch to imagine a few good ways to do it. Conroy is the king! That would be so cool if he did return. It's looking promising. Agreement there, it wouldn't fly with a lot of people. Good ideas there, especially the online ones, I'd love to download them. Ultimately though, and I hope I'm not alone on this, I think I'd prefer a twenty minute show with voices. Yes, youtube has all the answers.... Batbrick Away!

He loves posting pics Sorry to sound like an old record, but what is the release date for this thing again? Specifically Australia? I'm finally saving my money enough to get all these things fortunately, I'd just like to know so I can figure out when I should keep some spare cash ready. Batbrick Away!

Thanks everyone! Aren't you dead? I recall your death Thanks Whitefang! Glad you like the church prison, thanks for following this time What with all these dead people asking where they are? Thanks SCG! I like the thought behind your choices, and thanks for the compliments. Okay, so the final choices are this: Wait and delay for the mysterious person. And build yourself a better pegleg. Goodluck EB, I hope oyu have made the right choice! Batbrick Away!

Urggh, Moonraker is terrible. It is so bad it is only salvaged by its unintentional hilarity. Go watch the Sean Connery era, now there were classics I recently watched The Brave One with Jodie foster, it was alright, very slow but intriguing right up until the end where the whole theme goes down the toilet. Batbrick Away!

I just love it when people try to justify things that just can't be Seriously though, people call ROTS the best of the prequels. I agree, and still hate it. Batbrick Away!

Wow! If those are the true sets they are not the ones I expected at all. Love the idea of The Temple of Doom, wonder how they would do that? The Graveyard from KOTCS sounds good even though I hated that scene (C'mon Indy! Why didn't you shoot him you toned down for kids gramp!) Venice Chase certainly wasn't expected but should we get it then that means we get those cool red hats and Cruciform Sword brothers! Air Battle would be fantastic, for the Messerschmidt and biplane. It'd also mean we get more German artillery and another soldier. Batbrick Away!

Exaggerate much? No, I'm pretty disappointed too, but they aren't all bad. Batbrick Away!

I thought it was funny, it was pretty tongue-in-the-cheek wasn't it? Batbrick Away!

Thanks Stauder, much appreciated, I love it! Thanks to you both! Batbrick Away!

Thanks for the review. I love this impulse set, I bought two of them so I could make a Wizard and his apprentice. I didn't have an owl either so an extra is pretty cool, and I like the trans globe piece. Batbrick Away!

Oh my! That is wonderful! Thanks very much, I love it! Best avatar ever! Do you have a full size one I could save on my desktop? Anyway thanks! Batbrick Away!

Exactly! Definitely, like the quote in a lot of anything she appears in, there's something between them, and unfortunately it's the law. Batbrick Away!

I was under the impression there would be more than one, a few twenty minute eps I read. And I swear Youtube will get its own religion in a few years Oh yes, things are definitely looking up. Have oyu read that reply from that designer as well? Batbrick Away!

Definitely keep it. Like when I got both Empire's Batman covers: Bats and Joker It could be Joker's helicopter you know, I think you're right. Or the Batcopter, the cockpit piece looks similar but it those yellow bits out the side are like the Joker copter more. Yes, I hope to see them soon. Unless there is a mystery character to be revealed in the game? That'd be interesting. I know who I want to see anyway. *crosses fingers* Ra's Al Ghul Ra's Al Ghul Ra's Al Ghul....... Batbrick Away!

You must be my older doppelganger! I only got a UFO and Insectoids set, which were fun but not as good as other themes, though Insectoids are underrated. I too am hopeful, but then in another sense I'm not, too many good things to buy! Just kidding, even if I can't buy much of it I wish it well, I just hope Lego doesn't go too crazy, it is spoiling us too much. Batbrick Away!

I mean like a Wayne Manor exclusive on S@h, for the same price of something like Cafe Corner but a little less. I'd love to see that, a giant exclusive set. Definitely, but it seems to be going very well, the Batman sets are selling like hotcakes with the new movie out, and now we have a game and a tv show in Lego form for it. Batbrick Away!

I agree, so much fun. The inside isn't the main point though, I'll mod it sometime, but for now I'm trying to reserve a lot of parts. That dark brown is a wonderful colour too, I'll have to take them off temporarily for an IA moc. Are you going to keep Fire Arm as he is? I know I will, but I have him holding the scope to make the gun shorter. Also, that chopper in the set will likely be the only thing I take apart, I love the pieces but the final product takes up too much space really. Definitely get it though, then you can say you got them all this year! Goodluck finding the Batsets, and anything else too, seems your shops never get stocked with anything, be it Lego, DVDs or in the library's case the truly great graphic novels. Nice, hope you get paid. I directed students to my school earlier, even though I wasn't meant to my friends were and asked me along anyway. We made fun of the school, told a whole bunch of bluff and lies and got some nice fruit and chips at the end Ah, I see, thanks. The red phone is a must, even if I have to paint it. I just feel that wayne Manor is such a giant project that rushing it would be a stupid idea, I want to capture the proper scale, and ultimately if that means I'll have to wait another year to get enough parts so be it, I'll make my villains locations in the meantime. Or the Bab's clocktower just for you Wow, why would someone waste time and money for that anyway? Honestly, its like those people that spend millions of dollars to find out how many poor people there are when those dollars could easily have helped those numbers. Did I just liken you to poor people you may ask? Yes. Yes I did Nice, I didn't watch the Olympics though, did you? I'm not exactly a patriotic person, and think that such money spend on a two week event could be spent on much more important things. I loved it! Adam West is actually quite a good actor though, it really is a sad moment at the end with Miss Kitka. I reckon he still would've been great if they went with the darker style they originally planned. , those are great. I also love Gorshin's wacky movements when he states he has the perfect plan. Also at the end: "Let us go Robin....but inconspicuously......through the window", my sister and I laughed so hard at that Definitely, we must set out a devilish scheme! I'm really surprised at just how much Youtube has though, I think they have all of them. Yes, you'll see that in later eps too, she is very much a quasi tragic figure in BTAS, like most villains. speaking of which, do you know any good Poison Ivy stories? The Cheap Car Salesmen suit I call it! Watch any more yet? True, I was the same. I'd been waiting to see his house for weeks (he can see mine way across from his, but I can't see his house from, mine) and it turns out he lives in my old one! I had forgotten about the extras, very nice. I really want that silver, it'd be great for a Heart of Steel Vignette. Oh. Yes I loved it. I'm not a huge fan of crossovers and supernatural in mainstream Batman comics, but this was simply brilliant. Everything was so well planned out too, how that one piece of glass affected everything. Love Humpty Dumpty too, he was a sad but lovable villain. Dan Slott the writer was a surprise, after his humourous run on She Hulk I didn't know he had it in him, but it was dark. His humour was throughout the story though, that;s what a lot of Batman stories lack nowadays, humour. Batbrick Away!

Exactly, in the words of every movie villain who died shortly after saying this: "It's more beautiful than I ever imagined!" Well, do we know what kind of show it'll be? I'm hoping a series of enough episodes to make a season, I want to get it! If it doesn't air there or here there's always youtube remember? Hopefully it does though, or maybe they even hold the episodes on their site like some do. Anyway, this also gives me hope on more sets next year. Batbrick Away!

Very nice, thanks for posting that, I love the look of the over. The fact that Two-face is on the cover makes it so much better. There's also a military helicopter in the background heading for Two-Face, it reminds me a lot of DKR. Okay, so now we're waiting on a Manbat video, but is there any characters we have seen yet haven't got a release for yet? Batbrick Away!

I was joking! I agree definitely, she is one of Batman's most interesting characters, a foe and a love interest. Like Jeph Loeb says, he goes all stiff around her like she's something different. And no, not that kind of stiff! Batbrick Away!

Haha, that Masoch is a real......masochist No seriously, that was hilarious, love the sort of tie in to Blank Attack there too, Dougie was the killed guy right? Anyway, you camera work is better than ever here, the bar fight in particular has some great shots. Batbrick Away!

I'm really looking forward to this. Along with Adventurers and Wild West, Space was one of my most beloved-but-never-got themes. I really love that TLC is returning to it's routes, I'd love to see a mix of classic and new building schemes, with big and well built crafter that aren't hole filled technic. Most of all it has to be in space, cross planetary even. Batbrick Away!
