Huh, I didn't see that coming either. Quite clever too, I thought the ice cream thing was just there for the Luscious jokes, your plots are getting much smarter and professional KDog! I'll be interested to hear what Romero has to say, and whther or not it is of any significance other than "I escaped." Batbrick Away!

Question has already been answered I know, but i just want to say that zombie design is quite neat, if a little too custommed for my taste. When I have spare time I'm going to try to make a more official looking one. Batbrick Away!

Word of advice; never question Sinner on anything remotely technological, you'll be killed by all the smugness emanating from his posts I'm loving the use of pieces for this set, the brown on the tank, curved white and normal brick pieces intrigue me greatly, since my Iceberg Lounge set me back significantly on that front. I'm becoming more interested in this set now, espeically since my annual/occasional James Bond obsession has kicked in and I want to add a giant laser on top of it. And someone can call me out on how ridiculously unscientific that is Batbrick!

Great little set-up there Klaus-Deiter, the carriage in particular I like since I'm so rubbish at making them. The actual Post Office is very nice, I wouldn't have expected so much yellow to work but it does, and even though I think the top section where the sign is to go looks a little bare the interior more than makes up for that Batbrick Away!

No probs, and regarding the bolded part of your post. Let's just say for now that great minds think alike. Be sure to check out The Evil Overlord List. Batbrick Away!

Another great job Allansmith! You're on a great Pixar run here, and this is not in any way a disappointment. Love the brickbuilt rocket on top and the adherence to the proper colours. I think it is a little thin but apart from that spot on! Batbrick Away!

The Daleks have worked with many species many times over the course of the entire series. Even in the new series they used the Jagrafass in Series 1, and in Old Who they would use other species very often. They just plan to exterminate them later, which I'm guessing everyone was planning to do to each other once the racks were stopped. I'll also post in depth later, my mind is too busy being blown by what happened.

I really like the board upgrade, quite neat and for a lack of a better word; shiny. That said, I miss the days when if I accidentally clicked onto a new page, I could just go back one page and my post would still be there. today i was writing the longest post I've ever done on a friend's fig topic, and I accidentally clicked on the "main page" button instead of a new tab, and when I went back an hour's worth of writing was gone Apart from that though, I really love how updated it is, especially the little tags by the threads detailing some of the content. -Thomas

I agree, I'm really liking how this one is developing. Awesome to see the twins in the most recent comics KDog,I think its a nice character detail that Friendlich is generally friendly to everyone who he isn't obsessively chasing. I see the net thing came back too Batbrick Away!

So sorry for your loss JCC1004, I too am a huge cat lover and my Smokie passed away a month or so ago at the age of 12: I know what you mean, for a couple of weeks after she died I kept forgetting that she wasn't going to walk through my open window at night and sleep on the edge of my bed -Thomas

Thanks for this post Grievous, you've pretty much summed up a lot of my thoughts when it comes to the film, in a way I couldn't because I'd be too busy unable to spell correctly through my anger and would have to resort to the usual "Argle BARGLE!" Additionally of course is the series huge reliance and basis on traditional Asian cultures which factors enormously into the story. The world of Avatar is not just a fantasy world where changing the race of the actors doesn't amtter because "it's still just fantasy", it is so steeped in Asian culture, mythology, practices and language that its only a step away from having "the entire cast of Slumdog Millionare be white" level of ridiculous. Agreed, I cannot wait for the next series, the original was amazing and I'm so glad I got the box sets for my birthday. And yeah, it doesn't help the film that the distinct bending techniques have been replaced by "random Hollywood waving hands motion" and that the writing which was in Chinese for the series being replaced by, and I quote, "New made-up symbols". A Very Angry Batbrick Away!

Fantastic review as always TheBrickster, good to see you around again (Or the reverse, I've been a bit lazy recently ) I'm quite interested in this set now, I adore green pieces especially in such a variety and the giant croc is vary good model. While I too prefer minifig scale designs I love Creator sets, and am quite sad to have missed that dragon one from a few years back. If this comes 20% off there's a good chance I'll buy it. Oh, and the Cavemen commentary was very amusing, as well as not gettingi n the way of the review and pictures which was good. I chuckled when I saw the "His stomach has tasted my clan" caption. Batbrick Away!

Ingenious design there Optimus-Convoy, I'll never doubt the use of Duplo for mocs again! The little normal Lego details certainly help it from looking too blocky. Batbrick Away!

Very effective design and use of another's concept there Primus, the cleanness of the build and colour scheme really sell the look. One of my favourite robot mocs I've seen recently. Batbrick Away!

Great little Assault Squad there Kcebcire! I love the combination of the Imperial torso and Power Miners helmet, really effective. The Sergeant communication jamming device is very cool too, though I was hoping for a few more obvious details to tell him apart from the rest. Still, very neat looking and makes me wish I had gotten that powerminers helmet. Batbrick Away!

Thanks for the review Jjsthekid! Parts of this set are very well made, and other parts for me look completely out-of-place, specifically the technic launcher on the back of the truck. Still, the figs are great, and the parts selection and diversity of colours is really appealing. I definitely won't be getting the set, but this theme has quite surprised me with its quality. Batbrick Away!

Thanks again for your comments everyone, I love you all! Thanks, I'm glad that while they are kind of out-of-place, people seem to like the Manbats, much better than my last enormous technic design. I agree JCC1004, half the reason I build these things is to keep Batman relevant here I'm glad you like all the details I threw in, I was afraid they wouldn't work but thank goodness they did. Thanks timestamp, I'm glad you like my other Batman creations. I'm hoping my Batcave doesn't disappoint you then. Its quite big (but not too big since it has to fit in a small shelf) and its going to be crammed with details and areas. Thanks a heap for the Dave Kaleta recommendation, I looked at his folders and my jaw dropped ten feet! I disagree with some of the decisions he made, but overall I got a lot of inspiration on how to do my last wing on the Batcave, including the Trophy exhibit. Thanks again for that! Appreciated greatly The Eye (awesome username by the by), and glad you like my custom figs. And I agree, I didn't notice it when I made it, but the plant does look like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors! Batbrick Away!

Wow! This is amazing for your first Castle creation WowPlayer, and made entirely from your sets as well? Brilliant. I love the diversity of the colours, and the outside of the building has a great scheme of simplicity, and not adding too much detail where there doesn't need to be such as on the roof, a problem I always fall for. The interior is great too, though not quite as good, but I love the pews, and the chandeliers even more so Batbrick Away!

Very cool AllanSmith! You've certainly captured Lightning McQueen's look very effectively, though I'm not sure on the mouth. Because the truck was so much bigger the deepness of the mouth worked fine, but here it looks a little more like he's pulling a face. Still, that's my only criticism, and its a bit of a minor one, the rest looks fantastic. And I don't care about the bluetac eyes since I did the same thing to get the "talking" lights on my Daleks. Batbrick Away!

Well there's no way anyone's gonna beat blhc11's post, so I'll just say that I'm really glad I got all the sets. It's quite unfortunate that the prices even for the figs are ridiculously expensive, but I've just chalked it up to the diversity of the sets over Spiderman's, coupled with not being tied to the films, the addition of a game and not having produced as much sets. They still have the license though don't they? Batbrick Away!

A new series is already in production, little else is known bar the current title: Avatar: The Legend of Korra. Look it up if you wish, but nothing else is known. Batbrick Away!

It is a huge problem in writing anything, I think. Just look at Scrubs, The Simpsons, Futurama, Cheers etc. Its a common criticism that characters unintentionally become increasingly stupid or exaggerate to the point where they are almost parodies of what they were, also called Flanderisation. The fact that you are aware of characters sometimes being too stupid, and even make steps to fix it when they do, shows a great awareness. Of course I still have it as a criticism, but all things considered you're doing a good job keeping your characters consistent for the most part. I personally love the 4th wall stuff myself, mainly because it is well done 4th wall and is used wisely to establish plotpoints nad get readers up-to-speed. That said I'd like to see them a bit more sparingly myself as I like to think of them as an occasional comic treat. Glad that you're trying to speed things up a bit too, that is probably my main criticism of the comic, you're good at giving the readers what they want, without giving the readers what they want (in terms of both ending up sucking, as well as trying to please everyone that is, and still making the comic as you want it, which is great). I think we can all agree to this, even if it is awkward to admit it Fantastic new comics KDog, the window issue is entirely resolved now, and some very freaky panels here too, especially the neck turning which is something that's always freaked me out, and the view of Dash and his cronies outside the cockpit with the mine. Great stuff, and after reading your notes, a very well setup line with the Roboforce henchmen, I love a good arc -Thomas

Wow, erm, that's certainly creative. I guess when you get angry you grow a starfish out of your eyes Actually, I'm just gonna go with his head exploded Batbrick Away!

Having just watched Pan's Labyrinth several times, I have a feeling this will be a film I'll never get sick of. Batbrick Away!

I don't think so, since there were already Angels in the episode I think the Doctor and Martha were both attacked by them and sent back to 1968. Also in The Time of Angels the Doctor mentions how they were not organised like those Angels and didn't have their extra powers. That said while it takes a while to get your head around them I think the angels two-parter introduced some great concepts to the Angels to make them incredibly threatening. Someone on a forum (Hint: It was me! ) had a pet idea that that the angels are such a malevolent threat because they could destroy a planet by virtue of simply one being there. The resulting video cam footage focusing on the Angel and broadcasted worldwide would result in millions of "Angels" all part of the one consciousness of the original Angel. Additionally their being some of the oldest beings in the universe, as well as in-show references by the Time Lords about their existence means that there could be many interesting stories about their malevolence stretching back all the way to early Gallifrey, giving them a reputation similar to the The Great Vampires and other beings that waged war with the Time Lords. I truly think that the Weeping Angels should definitely become one of the Doctor's greatest enemies, alongside the Daleks, Davros, Cybermen, Sontarans, The Master etc. They certainly have a unique look and modus operandi, have motives that could extend beyond the simple "exterminate!" of the Daleks and conversion method of the Cybermen, and have a mystery about them that even the Doctor himself does not know much about. Also, Lovecraft's Old Ones, such as Cthulhu and Shub Niggarath simply MUST be the main big bad of a season one day, they could make the most epic story ever, I repeat, ever, told. Batbrick Away!
