  1. Hmm, that really sucks. Could this have something to do with the fact that one of the German translations for "Spanner" is "Peeping Tom"?
  2. I have a theory, but you might not like it. The latest version of LDD includes parts from the upcoming NinjaGo line, along with a large "wing" piece that was not seen in any other 2011 pics before: Could it be that this is one of the pieces that comprise the blades of the windmill? I could very well imagine that they put some stickers on it, put for of them together, attach it the mill, and call it a day. I hope it's not true, but it seems possible. What do you think?
  3. Oh. That makes more sense I guess. I was wondering how the hell a black Vader head could illuminate. Thanks. Thanks for the funny pic too! Hands too? It might be a nice challenge MOCing a blaster for this guy.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! I have decided to mostly keep the vig as it is, though I did try to pose Spidey more so that he clearly doesn't overhang the base. I have entered it and there doesn't seem to be a problem, so wish me luck! I have updated the first post with a bunch of better pics, including close-ups and a humorous parting shot, so please take another look and let me know what you think of it now! And don't forget to vote!
  5. Cool, thanks for the review! Do you think you can show us a pic of the illuminated face? Also, you should totally take a pic of the giant stormie about to step on the Vader minifig!
  6. Sorry for the delay; lots of Halloween parties going on! Round 2 DS sent. Why did my streak go from Won 5 to Lost 2?
  7. So, now that you're an adept Ollivander, would you like try to take me on again?
  8. Yes, it clearly said in two weeks:
  9. I already mentioned the scientist in my last review, but that's OK since she had a bigger role this time, and your screenshot of her is better than mine. Rex's comment was indeed funny, and what was also funny is Filoni's behind-the-scenes commentary on this episode where he says that Zillo was just trying to tell the Jedi that Palpy is a Sith Lord. You think Season 2 was disappointing? Wait 'til you see Season 3!
  10. You're darn-tootin' right I will! LHP2 was indeed a no-brainer, but TS is a bit questionable, now that there don't seem to be any new sets and the last movie is about to be released on DVD already. But there's no doubt it would sell as well as any of the other games, if not even better, so here's hoping this is true and not just another wiki-hoax.
  11. The UCS JSF is now available on S@H. If you order in the next couple of days, it qualifies for free shipping and Double VIP points! And for anyone interested, here are the Amazon US links for the alarm clocks: Vader Stormie I wonder where the Luke one is?
  12. Based on this pic, I'd say it will.
  13. You, my friend, are in the lucky possession of a very rare minifig! Based on what it says in the visual dictionary, I believe this is a one-of-a-kind figure, but there might be more than one. Either way, it's a valuable collectible and should probably not be given into the hands of kids in my opinion! People will probably pay good money to get their hands on this. I too would be interested to hear how exactly you got this little treasure. Oh, and welcome to EB, and may the force be with you!
  14. I just received an email from Lego saying that this is a trailer for a mini movie called "Bombad Bounty" which will premiere online on November 5th. Sounds like Jar Jar finally gets what he deserves - from Boba Fett!
  15. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I shall avenge you, ice cream cone! And don't call "her"!
  16. Great. More politics coming up. The next two episodes could be fun though. Hopefully Vos is as badass as everyone hypes him up to be. We'll see. What rock have you been living under? With all the Harry Potter hype lately, surely you must have seen the Ron Weasley or Prof. Flitwick fig somewhere?
  17. Lost to a practitioner eh, Diana? Tsk tsk. Hopefully you'll have more luck with someone of your own rank. Do we have anyone to adjudicate for us yet?

    I don't want him to block the view on Doc Ock too much, so I'm trying to make it work as it is, but maybe you're right.

    Thanks, but I can't take the credit for that as I just copied it from MacLane's design. Spidey is based on his design too, but mine is a little different. Yes, it's a bungee cord from 8205 Bungee Blaster. Is it really that big of a deal? It only overhangs by a few millimeters. I'm more worried about Spidey's head overhanging too much. Do you think it is?

    Thanks. Yes, there's supposed to be a spider, but it's just a small one. The spider piece would be too big and voluminous. And the only 1x1 tile with a spider printed on it is sand green, so that wouldn't work either. Therefore, I think the black stud I used is the best solution. Thanks to you too! The problem with using round plates for Ock's glasses (not goggles - this is supposed to be the movie version ) is that they might stand out too much or look too googly. Plus using squares enables me to angle them and make it looks as if he's angry. But maybe I'll try it. Keep the suggestions coming!

    Hello there. As the title says, this is my entry for the CubeDude contest on FBTB. It's Spider-Dude versus three of his most dangerous enemies: Doctor Cubicus, Venom-Dude, and the Green Cubelin! Spider-Dude, Spider-Dude, Does whatever a CubeDude can Spins a web, any size, Catches thieves just like flies Look Out! Here comes the Spider-Dude. The vig from all angles: Some straight-on shots to show that there is no overhang (one of the requirements for the contest). A close-up of the Spidey battling Doc Ock and and Venom simultaneously! Here are the Amazing Spider-Dude and his foes on their own! The Spidey and Venom designs are based on those by MacLane (Spidey, Venom), but mine are a little different. Spidey is dark blue and has more triangular eyes, and venom has a much cooler mouth. Here's Gobby on his shiney glider! The dangerous Doc Ock, er, Cube! I based his design on Alfred Molina's brilliant portrayal of him in Spider-Man 2. Unfortunately I didn't have the right parts in green or brown, so I had to settle for black for the color of his coat, but he looks good nonetheless, I think. Here is the scene without the CubeDudes and vehicles. Since Marvel is owned by Disney now, no comic is safe from ads for other Disney products. Well, at least it's PoP and not Hannah Montana! And just for fun (by request of Jammiedodger), here's a little moment:"DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS! BLAAAARGH!" You can find hi-res versions of these pics in this brickshelf folder and my Flickr. Please let me know what you think! And don't forget to vote!
  22. New "behind the scenes" video. Not really much anything new though. Just thought I'd post it. I'm so stoked for this movie!
  23. Hell no, that show was stupid, and the style of it was weird and would probably not translate to minifigs well. I'd much rather have a line based on the new show, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, which is about a hundred times better.
  24. Ah yes, I remember when we first got prelim set names of this line, it was called Galaxy Patrol too. I still like that name better than Space Police, which in my opinion is too straight forward in describing what the theme is (police in space). And is it just me or is that large transforming cruiser in the first pic a hundred times cooler than the Galactic Enforcer? And yeah, too bad we never got that mech (or any mecha for that matter) in this theme.
  25. Happy Birthday, you two, especially to our crazy root admin! Consider your cameo appearance in my Halloween avatar as a friendly B-Day whacking.
