    Frustrated that there's no picture of the character circle for this theme like there is for Chima and the Movie sets, but I'm pretty glad we got something. Still debating if I want to build them as-is, or in the Dark Blue/Silver/Bley scheme from Agents, though.

    Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm still feeling my way through this stuff, and after a disastrous modification to the Monster Fighters Ghost Train that allowed it to fit on straight rails but not turn in curves I figured I'd better get a bunch of second opinions before I built something that wouldn't work again. The shark did originally have lasers built on to it's head! But the Traveler's Tales guys used it in LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean to dissuade people from swimming too far away from the play area, and that's where my son first saw it. I had 6 of them, so I dismantled the lasers on one and gave it to him. I never would have figured out it can fit an entire minifig in it's mouth if it hadn't been for him!

    To be fair, this was a hot-button debate for comic nerds all throughout the '80s. So much so that Marvel lampooned it in their self-parodying series "What The?!" which had a character referring to the parody character as Mag-Nut-O, and constantly being corrected wit Mag-Noot-O. Then we got that '90s cartoon, and the debate was over.

    Nah, he's got one of those sharks from the Agents set with the speed boat, and his mom kept putting it on the car carrier for the 7939. He loved it, but kept trying to pile the cars on top of the shark. I remembered I had a white train car base and kid of built it around there. The shark's so big (bigger than the normal LEGO sharks, anyway) that I had to do it 8-Wide. I'm not actually a fan of cramped aquarium cars in real-life, but it's very important to my son that his shark be included in his train. I will admit, though, that the file name is totally a Sharknado pun.

    Okay, I'm back with another dumb question. The Horizon Express modification went off without a hitch (Wait, was that a pun? I dunno.), and in fact the only downside is that now he has to either stack the cars when he's carrying them, or make two trips. He doesn't seem to mind doing either, though so I'm calling it a win. Recently, I designed him this car (click for big): It's 8 studs wide, though, and I don't if that's going to be a problem for getting pulled along a pretty standard loop setup track by a 7939 Cargo Train.Anyone have experience with 8-Wides?

    Yeah, I knew about Eric's hair. I was planning on grabbing one from Bricklink when they started showing up, but now I'll just skip it and get it on this guy (is that Jack Fury?) instead.

    In one of the (numerous) video clips posted somewhere about the movie, a picture was shown of the car from this set rebuilt (with a few extra pieces) into a regular LEGO City police car. Anyone see that? I guess I'm wondering how hard it would be to do that.

    I only played LEGO Universe when it was in beta, so I never saw those two ladies up there, but I would buy the heck out of a CMF line that had figures like those in it.

    I'm also eager to see the Robot Pilot. While I'm sure he has one of the two plentiful heads (even though there is a third generic robot head in the trailers that appears in zero sets), the pictured figure appears to have a unique torso.

    It is black Anikin/Lloyd hair! Well, that's awkward. I was going to use that part to make Clutch Powers, but it looks like this guy will get it instead.
  11. obsidianheart
    Yeah, it is.
  12. obsidianheart
    I noticed in the prelim catalog scans the truck's cab seems to be upside down. Anyone know what that's about?
  13. obsidianheart
    Beaten about the Green Cavegirl Hair, but I'm kinda "Eh" about them all wearing suits. Missed the White HazMat Suit the first time. Can someone tell me if that is black Anikin/Lloyd hair?

    Space Wyldstyle has a blue hood! Not quite the Dark Blue I was hoping for, but I can make it work.

    Aanchir's musings on Warm Gold had me convinced that Overlord possessed Lloyd in the final set, until I realized he came with it.

    I was at my local Target today at noon and they were sold out.

    I'm missing 4 (Panda, Scratchenpost, Shakespeare, & Larry), but I haven't run across any for 2 weeks now.

    I instantly recognized this as a brick-built model of Keith Thompson's art. He is one of my favorite modern illustrators, and I never imagined I'd see his work translated into LEGO, let alone this fantastically done. Bravo, sir!

    That tank just wants a hug!

    Creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy. Ship's inventive, though.

    I've got big drawers for larger parts, but I keep the old greys and browns in gallon ziplock bags stored in the drawers. For smaller parts, I've got two columns of smaller drawers, and old greys and browns go on the left (along with a selection of other, non-similar colors), and new Bleys go on the right.
  22. obsidianheart
    Dang. I was hoping we'd get the same part in a different color, like with the CMF Librarian's Dark Brown. Oh well, I'll have to come up with an alternate for the Agent I've already got wearing that.
  23. obsidianheart
    What color was Hydron's hair?
  24. obsidianheart
    Weird. I'm not a huge fan of that cab, but I sure do like that mech.
  25. obsidianheart
    Yeah, he keeps popping those apart and sticking the tiles on top of the train. He thinks it is hilarious for some reason.
