Batbrick

I'm really annoyed at myself for taking apart the Viking Ship, I will most likely put it back together when I get the necessary pieces. Once done, I like the idea of pitching a battle between it and the Troll Warship. Batbrick Away!

I agree Father, this man could well be under influence.........of the devil. May I please have some spirits too father? *Drops a few gold coins in the collection basket*

People just don't like you maybe? Condolences man, sohuld you turn out to be innocent i will avenge those that deliberately voted you.

Look I'm all for fun but I also find greater joy in ruining said fun, especially when it comes to this. I unvote: Pencoin and vote: Hinckley.

Total agreement here! I love the way it looks like a soundstage, and the rock work is brilliant. I shall read the story now... Batbrick Away!

Shutup! You're suddenly fleshie, what did you get, a fancy tan cream? Anyhoodlydoo, I'm going to go with Pencoin, even though I have suspicions of Hinck, or maybe he's just a baboon. So, therefore, in good name of our great king, I vote : Pencoin

No probs mate! I think I might rotate them once in a while Batbirck Away!

Thanks for this! So glad Bane is in, as well as Nightwing. Bane's ability's are very cool too: Unaffected by toxic gas and has super strength. Clayface looks a tad strange, but i reckon he'll look better in a different shot, I'm just glad to have him! His abilities sound rather neat too, super strength and agility, as well as able to leap very high. It also means with that configuration we are very likely to ba able to get him in mf form! He seems very based off BTAS too. Batbrick Away!

I watched Prince Caspian at Tasmania's giant CMax screens. A fantastic movie with great battle scenes and following pretty faithfully to the book (I've read a few). The only things I disliked were some repetitive dialogue ("Oh shutup" and "You'd better come quick" must have been used like 4 times each) and some rather out-of-place moments, but overall it was a worthy sequel and better than the first. I laso watched the two James Bond films The Living Daylights and The Spy Who Loved Me. The latter is a classic, Jaws is an incredible henchman, and the former is very underrated, with a complex plot and a very realistic bond girl. Kara is actually one of my favourite Bond girls, most likely because she is more "real" than the others, and not the cliche tough girl who becomes a whore to Bond in the lkast five minutes. She is pretty naive but has her morals and stands for what she believes in. That, and I have a real thing for women with short blonde hair that sways with their every movement Isn't she a sweetie? :wub: Batbrick Away!

That's hilarious iamded! Glad oyu got the message! Thanks for including me, I think I look rather hot as Spalko Funnily enough, I was originally going to use Spalko's body for a sort of classic grey suit for Indy month but decided on Mutt's jacket. Speaking of which, get it off! I called it first! Batbrick Away!

Thanks Everyone so much for your comments, you are all so kind! (I'm crying with happiness) Thanks a lot TinyPiesRUs, and I did not notice before it had been posted, I'm really honoured that it happened. Thanks a lot Whitefang, I was toying with the idea of flame eyes, I might see if I can do that now. Yes, I thought this might be of interest. The swords are meant to be golden for a treasure feel yes, but I like your idea of brown spears, thankyou. Thanks a lot Whitefang, I reckon in my entry pics I'll show some action, with the inhabitants Thanks iamded, yes, Johnny is pregnant now, I might make a vig on it later Looking forward to your more detailed comments! Thanks DJ Force, I agree it could use more foliage perhaps, but I am unfortunately out of appropriate pieces. As for the facade, I am happy how it is, thanks. That's perfectly alright oDDerFisken, thanks very much for showing interest! I'm glad you like it, and I hope I have a good chance too! Thankyou very much Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard Yes, I definitely recommend the Indy sets, the pieces contained in them are wonderful for all different themes! Thankyou, i'll be sure to create a "true" pirate creation sometime as I am a fan of the theme for sure. Perhaps a humourous vig.... Thankyou very much good friend! I am very pleased you commented, thankyou! Glad you like Johnny there, as I know you are a fellow Johnny fan! Thanks TheBricker, Johnny sure is pregnant and has a rather challenging nine months ahead of him Thanks Shoc! I am laughing at all the pregnant Johnny jokes, I didn't realise that he would be until after people pointed it out! Again, thanks very much mate. Yes, the alliteration could have been perfect Oh well, must move on! I'm glad to be growing as a builder, thanks, and I too think the rock is a bit cute, but I love him: He is mine and he will be my squishy! Thanks Athos, glad you like it, your opinion means a lot to me. What is adventurers dk. if you don't mind me asking? As for the positioning of the thread, long story that is... Adding up to the total of ten seen in this moc! Thanks Fluyt, I think the trees work okay but I agree jungle plants would be better. Hopefully one day I'll get more. I'm really happy people tihkn the baseplate worked out okay as it was extremely hard to work out with the slant of it, so thanks. Thanks, it really was worth it I Scream Clone! Although I have a wee bit more now after some purchases, and a fair bit of light bley, but dark bley is pretty poor in supply. I look forward to your project. I totally agree, thanks for pointing that out. When I get more dark bley 1x1 refrigerators I certainly will but for now I have like 3 Thanks again! Many thanks as always Asuka! Thanks Canticleer Blues (wow, I'm starting to sound like a broken record here!), I'm glad you like the baseplate use. Yes, Johnny will come to accept his baby soon, after he goes to the doctor following morning sickness Thanks Norro, another opinion I value, thanks. Thanks Big T mate! Glad to hear atleast one person likes the totally lame trap! Thanks again, and I still think people have a very good chance to win the Indy comp, just use your imagination and you could beat me silly! Woah! Thanks simonwillems, I'm glad youl ike the surprisding inside and details, many thanks to you also. Thanks lego.ryan, I agree it is my best creation yet, I hope to improve further. I agree too that the Indy parts are great and make for fantastic mocing! Thanks again everyone! Batbrick Away!

I went to Devonport today and hoped to see if there were any new Batman sets there. To my surprise the Toyworld there had many old sets, and I bought the Spiderman: Doctor Octopus' dock set and the adventurers Tygurah's roar! Both are fantastic and I will review them both soon! Batbrick Away!

I am very suspicious of this iamded character as he seems to be unable to change his avatar to an Indy one. What's an avatar you ask? Well, I'm not quite sure Still, I am growing increasingly suspicious of Hinckley, aka Lord Savril, as his repetitions I fear cover a far more sinister veil... Batbrick Away!

I agree, I hope Batgirl is in this though, I sure don't want Oracle. No offense Brainbox, but I find a wheelchair a bit limiting Still, I'm more interested in villains, so long as I get two play as Two-Face, I'm two - I mean happy. Batbrick Away!

:laugh: :laugh: I am ROFLing a heap at the moment, so much I'll leave that there, I guess my Joker custom affected me more than I first thought! Batbrick Away!

Thankyou, I'll see how it goes, as I have never posted something here (though I do want to in the future) Batbrick Away!

Wow! you guys are spies! Thanks for the compliments, I'm really happy that it was worthy of a brickshelf spot, and please do comment in my thread, it is much improved there! Batbrick Away!

Er, sorry, but Johnny Thunder is present (see pics), this is the first part of my Jungle setup which will be followed by a large tree, river and a military truck, intended to hold some Indy sets but for Johnny to roam around in Batbrick Away!

Hello all, due to iamded's recent death refusal to change his avvie to an Indy one ( ), this review will be handled by me and my good russian friend: The Penguin - master of the penguins! And what a wonderful set it is! I know there is already one review of this, but the Batfan in me just had to, and I wanted to add my own opinion and give Pengie here a new toy! So here it is, my first of the 08 line, the 7885 Robin Scuba Jet: Attack of the Penguin: I have to say this is a very reasonably priced set for a licensed one, it has much more included than what appears and as most see is a great way on getting the Penguin and Robin for a chep price. I now have three of each. It also has a great design on both sets bar the the launchers which unlike the 06 Batmobile are quite easy to mod as you'll see from me later. First up as usual are the figs. As said before, a nice way to get these two cheaper. These two however are a little different from the batcave set. Robin has ditched the swishy hair in favour of the new Mutt hairpiece in black, and Penguin now has a larger umbrella: (btw, I figured out how to make my camera to take good closeups, can you tell?) I love these changes as it gives good diversity. While prelim and S@H pics make the umbrella seem rather ugly it looks actually quite good in real life, as the grey rod is a pearl silver actually, same as the castle swords, making it appear as if the umbrella is more practical and not all as it appears (sword or knife in the umbrella anyone?). Robin also looks great in this hair, I think both versions look fine, here is a comparison pic: But my friend The Penguin reigns supreme over both birds! And yes, this set does include two of those fantastic brickbuilt penguins, one with a spear gun and another with a fedora. I love revolvers and can never have enough of them, so people will be lgad to know this set comes with an extra one: The great thing is the essential part to these birds (that yellow orange beak piece) is available twice more on the back of the sub, which is easily modded out and looks better without them anyway. And now the first actual construction, all done in Bag 1, the awesome Robin Scuba Jet: Now this thing is great. I mean it, it's awesome. While the first pics made it look as if Robin had to look totally down, he can actually sit up a fair amount more than I though he would, to the point where I don't need to mod this baby a single bit: Now I know many people hate stickers, so you'll be glad this one doesn't contain a lot of them, but these little Robin symbol stickers are great. I scanned this sheet first thing so I could reuse them on other vehicles. The little thing also comes with green engines, which are very nice: Having finished Bag 2 here is the main attraction, the new, the improved, U99 Penguin Sub! The preliminary pics really didn't do this thing justice, it really is well designed. I love the sticker at the front, luckily it is the only truly necessary sticker for this set. You can see the two flick fire missiles here, which really couldn't be easier to remove, simply place two black 1x1 bricks in their respective places. I do like the new technic flick fire pieces though, as they have many uses as other members have shown. Here is the technic cannon: Yes, pulling that red lever back fires the wretched missile. I have to say though I love how it is integrated, as you can see here is doesn't disturb the flow of the sub and a simple mod will make the rear portion perfect: As a result of the cannon the side does suffer a little with those technic holes, but the engines are attached well so using a 1x2 brick with a technic hole for that in a mod, and the rest normal white brick will make the sides more cohesive. As you can see though the sub still maintains a wonderful sleek design, it is very superior to its predecessor from the Batcave: U98. The markings on the side indicating victories against the Bat is a great touch too. And our ornithologically inspired villain looks great atop the sub tower, which is higher than the previous sub: Better view of the front. I believe this set get a little too much flak for the two pieces used at the front - they are very well used and don't detract from the sub in any way, no could they just be replaced by smaller pieces. You can also see the engines in the background, these rotor pieces are also that great yellow/orange colour: The functioning periscope. This one also works much better than U98 as it can revolve the full 360 degrees, It can also go down further and not stick up, so it can go unnoticeable when not being used: The bottom, I don't mind the grey as it breaks up the two tone colour scheme a bit, but my mod changes these pices to white. Still, it really shows how truly brickbuilt this thing is, using not many specialised pieces at all. Here you can also see those two beak pieces I mentioned before to add two more penguins to your collection: Here is the inside in which the controls lay. I love how easy the top is to remove, makes for great playing. The only gripe of mine is the lack of space, but this is easily remedied when the cannon is removed: Now the Penguin seated, he may have to put that top back on however before he drowns! My good friend The Penguin and I do battle. Alas, I fear my ship, though awesomely cute, will lose as not only is she a small thing, but my cape and cowl do not allow for a good view! Wow! The Penguin REALLY enjoys his new sub! Please come down man, we have a review to finish, and stubby Penguin is still trapped inside! The overall set (note: The Penguin and Batbrick minifigs DO NOT come with set): And a sub comparison with my modded one and the old one: Let me just say this set blew me away! Not only does it provide excellent vehicles and a great way to get expensive figs, but it is loads of fun and great for display. Here's how I rank it: Design: 4/5 - Not perfect, but when modded it truly is. For now it is Excellent. Playability: 5/5 - Yes, this set is the funnest I've had in a long time, I swooshed the vehicles and compared the figs to the earlier releases, and I'm not finished! Figs: 3/5 - A mixed bag, on one hand a cheap way for expensive figs, on the other, the only set without a new one, take this your own way Build: 5/5 - Quick but not too quick, and a lot of fun. I wanted to pull it apart and build it again at the end! Price: 4/5 - It's a licensed set so boohoo! Still, for a licensed set it really is nicely priced in my opinion. Total: 21/25 A flawed but brilliant set that defied all doubts form us when we saw the prelims. Thanks for reading the review, hopefully I've swayed some opinions, and thanks The Penguin for letting me include you! Batbrick Away!

Very sorry to double post and kick up a fuss, but I was wondering if these mocs were going to be added soon. Sorry about this, I was a bit worried you'd forgotten it though. Batbrick Away!

N-M 6-D And what a great example of alliteration in that subtitle too! I've been wanting to share this for so long, but since I wanted to post it in the Indy contest I couldn't be sure if I should, but thankfully Sinner said it was okay (Thanks mate!). Also, many thanks to TheBrickster for the inspiration and permission to set up my own little jungle setup (btw, I felt this should go here as it is really not an Indy creation). Lots of thanks TP friend. Anyway, here she is, I call her "Vera" (Firefly fans may get that one): I am so proud of this thing, it used up almost all my good bley bricks and slopes: It also used up almost all my foliage, but I plan to keep this baby together a looong time! I was inspired to make it after pulling apart my Temple of Akator (tan being used for another big project), and really wanted to use that cool dark tan baseplate for a display so the Indy sets I wanted to keep together (truck, jeep, duck, cutter, motorbikes, plane and tent) wouldn't be alone: It really is huge, it barely fits in my cupboard space vertically, but I wouldn't change it a bit: The rock (my first attempt at creating a good rock sculpture) and stairs were made first, I'm really happy with how the rock came out: I originally wanted to make an ancient architecture for the door, but I prefer the palm leaves over it myself. The doors open inwards. Here you can also see a better look at the windows, the skulls partially covered came out quite well I think: And it opens to a beautiful Mayan fertility idol, so don't touch it, or you get pregnant And the trees out front hold a hidden treasure. Also note here the way the stairs are built with the foliage and spikes, this was the single most rebuilt section of the temple: The sides hold foliage as well: And another hidden treasure: The roof, using a technique I saw from TheBrickster (all credit due to him as inspiration) for the vines: I'm happy the way the roof turned out as it originally looked too much like a house roof, so the slanting movement of it and the mini temple above worked out: And the top most part of the temple, where the ancient crystal idol rests, still being worshiped by the remaining members of the sacred temple: Now for the inside: I really wanted an architecture and look that would still seem old but still very colourful and filled with gold: The centerpiece, as you can see I tried to get rid of as many of those gold slopes as possible: The throne on the right. As you can see there is a treasure chest behind the spiders web, and a nice little setup with the gold cups and nuggets: The left one, I went with bright green foliage for some small asymmetry: And the throne, found on either side. I'm really happy with how the chair came out, as it took me a while. I'll admit it looks a little strange in this pic though: And my own trap (had to include one, no matter how lame), an old net that is triggered by touching the idol which send four spears and an attached net flying toward you: Overall view, I like the contrast between the outside and inside: And Indy comes to get his prize: But Johnny already has it dear boy! Final view: WAY more pics here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=322991 Thanks very much for looking, comments appreciated. I'll most likely mod it a tad temporarily to fit into my idea for the contest, thanks again Batbrick Away!

Missed this! Welcome back SW4J, good to have you posting here again. Hope you get back onto that sweet ship of yours, I looked at your BS gallery recently but nothing new. Batbrick Away!

My goodness man! Be this a bluff or truth? I dare not decide which yet! I can tell you this though: Unless we reveal our names and occupations then we must surely all be of suspect! What say you? Should we pul down this web of deceit? Batbrick Away!

Bullock, best donut eating cop ever! (maybe with the exception of Wiggum). I doubt we'll get Batwoman in addition to Batgirl though. Batbrick Away!
