  1. Nice work, Doc. And not to worry, I'm not disappointed at all; it might even be better this way.
  2. Nice work, Mood! Not only is this a great-looking Moodland Yoda, but it does break-dance too!
  3. Thanks. Here's Day 2: Space Surfer And today's bonus picture:
  4. Well, looks like the bios for the CMF Series 6 doesn't give us any info about the Lego universe. Oh well, let's see what they'll say about the Space Marine in Series 7... Hm, interesting. Good to know that Ninjago is its own planet. It let's me sleep better at night knowing that my Lego City wont be overrun by Skeletons and Snake people in giant vehicles any time soon. Those would be some strange experiments as that device the Martian is hooked up to looks more like a power generator than anything else to me. Either way, it's not very ethical, and the same goes for the rock monsters, whether they need the crystals or not. Chucking dynamite at them, hunting them down, shooting them with water hoses, and locking them up is pretty damn mean, to put it nicely.

    You can find the instructions and comics for the first few sets here and the rest of the comics here. Don't know where to find the other instructions or the games, sorry.
  6. Series 6 bios have been added to Lego.com and Brickset has added the pics to their library. I like how they have related Lady Liberty with the freedom of creativity rather than the US.
  7. Well, if you liked that, then you're gonna love this: I'm planning to post one holiday-themed funny every day up until Christmas as a sort of SW Funnies Advent Calendar! Here's Day 1! And as a bonus, here are two more!
  8. Thanks to CopMike and his little elves for this generous raffle again!
  9. Nice work, doc, and good idea for a project! The Republic Cruiser is well done, even though it does look a lot like iomedes' version. I, too, am curious about your approach to the minifigs. I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty to blog this for you.

    Thanks, everyone! I'm glad you like it! I don't mean to be rude, but no, you may not. Zorg is the unhappy guy from Fifth Element, and Zerg are a race in StarCraft, both of which are popular Sci-Fi villains, so I can understand the confusion. But a currency and some place in Iran have nothing to do with this, or anything else for that matter. This just seems like a pointless way to revive a topic to me.
  11. And so the rest of the scum comes crawling out of their holes. Creeper is right once again; you guys are really making this too easy. No wonder that Batman took over the crime fighting in this town. Gordon's agents suck. Wow, and you call my English bad? Ra's and Mask are right that this could have been taken the wrong way, and I never "claimed" that. It was just a theory that I proposed.
  12. Yeah, these do seem kinda hard to find. I got mine just a few days after they were released, and at that time they only had about three of each color on the rack.
  13. Yeah. This may be Anakin we're talking about, but not even he is that dumb or impulsive. A more likely scenario would be a ROTJ Sarlacc Pit reference, with R2 throwing Anakin and Ahsoka their lightsabers just when all hope seems lost, allowing them to save the day.
  14. Do you see any in this thread? No.
  15. Not bad, lockdownTF, although you really need a better camera. I'm not sure if I get the first one though. Why is Savage getting a Sith Infiltrator at all? Alright, are you ready for my special surprise? Well, here it is: My 100th SW Funny! Looks like the Star Wars minifigs have formed an angry mob against me for making fun of them all this time! Don't worry though, this is not going to discourage me from continuing to make these funnies. Be sure check out the previous 99 in my Star Wars Funnies set! Thanks to all of you for all the support, faves, and subscriptions!
  16. I know. I'm just teasing the sheep-haters. You know, I'm starting to think Black Mask is right about you. Even after being called on it, your contributions to this discussion continue to be completely pointless. That's Mister IcePop Freeze to you, Scumbag! As for your "little secret", we'll see about that. Yeah, it does seem like he's messing with us, but there is a chance he is telling the truth. I guess we'll know if he is when there is indeed a nasty surprise after his lynching.
  17. Are you voting for Ra's because he was doubting you?
  18. So now you're confessing to be an agent? And then you go on to drop a hint at how many Agents are left to kill? Sigh. Scum isn't what it used to be. Cue the sheep-haters!
  19. Is that my picture of CW Grievous I see in the title image? Good idea to have a separate thread for this. In my opinion, the more detail the better. The new ARC Trooper and the sand trooper, as well as many of this year's minifigs are just gorgeous to me! There might be a point in the future where they go too far with the detail, but they haven't reached it yet in my opinion, so until then, give us more minifigs like Cloud City Boba!
  20. It's that time of year again when you have to fight your way through crowds of crazy shoppers in order to spend lots of money on kitschy decorations and expensive presents! This may include ornaments for your Christmas tree, and being the smart company they are, TLG has released three new ornaments for all the holiday celebrating brick-lovers out there! In this time it is good to know what exactly you want to buy so that you can manage your budget. Therefore I have decided to make this little review so that you know if these Lego ornaments are worth buying. So let's get going and jingle all the way! Set Number: 853345 Name: Gold Ornament Theme: Seasonal Year of Release: 2011 Pieces: 40 Minifigs: 0 Price: $7.99 USD / £3.99 S@H Brickset Bricklink I found this ornament hanging from a rack in the Lego Store next to red and green versions of it, but I was only interested in the Gold one due to its rare colors, so this is the only one I bought. There are no box pictures to show since these ornaments are being sold as they are, with only a tag giving you a little bit of information about the product. There is no type of protection for the product, so some of the ornaments might be scratched, and the information on the tag is very limited. On the front, it only shows the recommended age, and on the back, the item number, price, and the barcode. The tag can be folded open, but on the inside you'll only find the usual small print. No product name, no piece count, no nothing. It doesn't even have a nice holiday design, just the generic Lego Accessories yellow baseplate texture. Very lazy and cheap effort. Some of you may remember that Lego released very similar holiday ornaments two years ago, the 852744 LEGO Holiday Ornaments. That set required you to buy all three different ornaments together, but at least they came in a nice and handy box. The printing on the ornament is quite nice. It depicts detailed snowflakes, whereas on the old ornaments they were simple white dots, so that's an improvement. The only thing keeping the two ball halves from splitting and spilling all its contents is a small, round, transparent sticker at the bottom. It does its job, but probably wouldn't be much of an obstacle to thieves. After removing the sticker, the two halves of the ornament still hold together pretty well, although I'm not sure if they would still do that after falling from a tall Christmas tree. Let's take a look at what's inside, shall we? Here are the emptied ball halves. They are the same mold as in the old ornaments set, so they still have the inserts for medium-sized radar dishes. If you have one of those dishes, you can make your own custom ornaments with holiday scenes in them. Here's the main reason to buy this set: the contents are comprised of 12 trans-yellow 1x2 bricks, 14 dark tan 2x2 bricks, and 14 metallic gold 2x2 bricks! And... that's pretty much it. There are no instructions and no hint at what you could do with these bricks, so you are left to your own imagination. It's hard, though, to come up with something one can build solely out of 1x2s and 2x2s. Ratings Design: 4/5 - The ornament looks quite nice overall, especially the detailed printing on top, but it's nothing to get overly excited about. Personally, I would have preferred a golden ribbon instead of a yellow one, seeing as this is supposed to be a Gold Ornament, but I guess the yellow retains the playful spirit of Lego. Either way, it'll look good on any Christmas tree, especially together with the red and green ornaments. Playability: 0.1/5 - Uhm... It's a ball with bricks in it. Not much you can do with that except make primitive structures with the bricks. But it's meant to be decoration in the first place, so it doesn't really matter how playable it is. Parts: 4.5/5 - If anything, this ornament is great parts pack. Over a third of the parts in this set are metallic gold! What's not to love about that? Plus it comes with bricks in two other semi-rare colors which compliment the gold quite well. The only thing that could have made this better would have been a wider variety of bricks, but oh well. Price: 3/5 - At roughly 20 cents per piece, one might think this set is about twice as expensive as it should be, but you have to keep in mind that this is an accessory, not a regular set, and that the printed ball halves and the ribbon have to be included in the price too. Besides, I think it's great that the Gold Ornament has the same price as its red and green counterparts despite all the gold bricks it includes, and the price-to-piece ratio of these new ornaments is much better than in the previous ornaments set which had a ratio of 30 cents per piece! Overall: 4/5 - Despite its lack of packaging and relatively high price, it's a nice holiday ornament that's filled with many rare bricks, so I can definitely recommend it. If you're really only interested in the gold bricks, though, you might want to just bricklink them. I can't show a picture of it hanging from a Christmas tree right now since I haven't gotten one yet, but if you want me to, I can take a pic as soon as I have my tree. I hope you enjoyed this review and that it it was useful to you somehow. Oh, and don't let a Grinch like Gold Tooth ruin your holidays. Happy Holidays, everyone!
  21. No, I didn't, that's why I asked (I didn't even know there is a mafia wiki ). Thank you, and excuse my inexperience with these kinds of "situations". Now I have no hesitation to... Vote: Mr. Zsasz (Nightshroud99) Not just because I trust the Creeper, but also because of Zsasz's very scummy reaction.
  22. Yes, I got that, but what is it that gave us the agent reading? Behavior? Actions? Or something else?
  23. Oh, I see... Well, let me rephrase then: What exactly did this investigation reveal about Mr. Zsasz?
  24. Go back to school? NEVER! Maybe some of my English memory was frozen as a result of my accident. I really must be uneducated as I have no clue what you are going on about again. Nobody said he was; the number of dead agents simply suggests that we're closing in on the last one. Agreed. Trying to make the Creeper look like scum in order to distract from his own scumminess is indeed a pathetic response. If Zsasz wasn't suspicious before, he certainly is now.
  25. Interesting. I've had a feeling about Zsasz for a while now, but haven't been able to find any good evidence against him, so I'm curious to hear your reasoning for this accusation.
