  1. That does not answer my question though (if that was the intent of your post). I'd like to know if both the 10/15% discount AND the 30% discount apply to those selected sets.
  2. I agree with JCC1004, Hyperspeed Pursuit is awesome, so I would get that next. That's my plan anyway, and I have the same sets as you. But generally, I wouldn't buy anymore of this year's SP3 sets because next year's look/sound much better. Yeah, that would be a good idea. Lego may be essential to the soul, but food is essential to life. I suggest get toast. One can never go wrong with toast.
  3. Uhm, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else: the MMV is definitely the better choice. Well, the Tantive $150 and bricklink prices for the B-Wing start at $40, so you'll be left with $60 to spend. The BPs will cost you $20, and the Landspeeder probably another $15-20, so you would only have like $20 left. I'd either get seconds of the BPs or the Freeco Speeder or the Tri-Fighter (if you're interested).
  4. Thanks for the poll, Svelte. Now that SW is out of the picture (which is good), I had to decide between Harry Potter and Toy Story, and I ended up voting for the latter, mostly because Harry Potter was such a "mixed bag" as you said. Toy Story can be called a mixed bag too since none of the sets share the same color scheme, but that's kind of what makes it so great. Besides, I love Toy Story, and I love how TLG made it into sets. I must admit that Indy is a great theme too as it has some great figs (although they're fleshie) and set designs. But somehow most of the sets haven't been attractive enough for me to get them. Avatar was also great, but it's hard judge a theme with only two sets. I really wish I had those sets. So... Ben 10 counts as System then? Because.
  5. On FBTB it says that "the 30% off is applied AFTER the initial 15% off". Can someone confirm this?
  6. That's awesome! The head is excellent. The part that is inside the box looks a bit strange, but as it is hidden, it still works. Tintin FTW!
  7. Yeah, dads are the best (sometimes). Mine got me Monsters 4 from Germany last week. So, now I can make some Devaronian and Shistavanen figs.
  8. I have five, so I voted "Some". I'm very happy to have those five and hope to have more in the future. It doesn't bother me too much that they make the "princesses" taller than the other figs. And even if I get into a situation where it looks strange, I do it like Sandy and just imagine they have high heels.

    Star Wars

    Thanks for the info, Forresto. That book does sound interesting. It's a bit strange to have a zombie story in the SW universe, but pretty cool at the same time. I might have to check it out. I love Alien -type stories. I went to SW in Concert on Thursday btw, and it was great. Anthony Daniels did some very nice narrating/hosting and the performance of the orchestra was superb! Sometimes it sounded like it was a CD that was playing, not a live orchestra, because it sounded so perfect! But no, it was live, and it was amazing. They had special effects like smoke and fire too. It was overal very well done and my dad and I had a great time! I can highly recommend experiencing it for yourself!
  10. I liked these episodes a lot too. Bane is starting to look like a pretty good character. The Battle on Felucia was awesome of course and the whole episode was very atmospheric. I too liked the Techno-Service droid. Seth Green did an excellent job at voicing him. Poor little guy. He kinda reminded me of BURN-E. Cargo of Doom wasn't as good, but not bad either. It just kinda sucked how they skipped part of the story and jumped into the middle of the action, and the ending is quite predictable as Pi pointed out. Still, it gets some bonus points for the Zero-Grav fight which was quite orignal and neat, as was the whole maneuver with the AT-TEs. Can't wait for the Mustafar episode!
  11. It looks like our CN has the same schedule. I already saw When OMAC Attacks! on youtube. It was good, I liked it. OMAC is an interesting character, and I hope we'll see him (them?) again some time. Definitely! Just make a new WIP topic, and don't forget to mention what you are still planning to add to it! Where? Yeah, I guess you're right, though I didn't really care who voiced Metallo. All that was important to me was that Kevin Conroy voiced Batsy and that he kicked some butt. I'd like to see your version of it. Have a link to the Brainboxmobile? I missed that one...
  12. Well, I didn't post those because we have seen tonse of pics of the figs already and the pic of the space ship I posted seemed better to me. Thanks for providing the link again though. I forgot about that. Dang, Zurg is one big dude. How so? I see some <insert that tiresome argument> wall pieces in the second floor and some <insert that tiresome argument> pole pieces, but other than that, it's completely made out of bricks and plates. And how is the jeep "realistic"? It's completely green and tiny.
  13. How about a Toy Story month? Or maybe just a general Disney month? In celebration of the new license? We could have a contest like this. This should be held some time after the Toy Story sets are released in order to allow people to create Toy Story MOCs with the new figs. I would really, really love that!
  14. I might have mentioned this before, but with there being a Disney license now, I really think it would be great if we would have some kind of Disney contest. It could either be a contest for designing a set for one of the disney movies or a vignette contest to recreate a scene from your favorite disney movie. Also, I think a space contest is quite overdue. Lego Space is one of the most imaginative Lego themes, and a contest could result in some very creative MOCs! It should be a contest where you can make a MOC for any space subtheme you like. For example, it could be a contest where all the subthemes of Lego space compete in a race around the Lego galaxy, and the challenge would be to build a futuristic high-speed vehicle for one of the subthemes. There could be two categories, land and space vehicles, or we could limit it to space ships. What do you think? Oh, and another interesting idea I had was having a contest about creating a vignette based on your favorite song. I have seen several MOCs with that idea in mind already, and I thought a contest could be interesting.
  15. Well, obviously you need some glasses because it clearly says Sheriff, not "Sherrif". On a side note, I'm still intrigued by why we have seen the Buzz fig with only half a helmet so far.
  16. If by "folded down" you mean "dismantled", then yes, that's what pic #8 is. Well, first of all, that's not a bar, it's the Sheriff's office. I guess it could be Woody's bedroom, but it looks like it's actually the place where he keeps the safe. Same here. However, if you are to mod it from a toy jeep into a "real" jeep, you would have to extend it a bit as you suggested. No problem. I simply checked back into the photostream you linked to on the last page. As soon as I can get my hands on them, I'll make some.
  17. Uhm, because it's dripping of sarcasm? I wasn't implying you didn't know about the other threads, just jokingly telling Pepper that she is right that there are more threads. So don't you boo me! What is that supposed to mean? More like this thread isn't anything for me. I'm outta here. Peace.
  18. You're welcome. Isn't different views of the jeep enough? We already have hi-res pics of the soldiers, so what else is there to show?
  19. You forgot Ben 10. I highly doubt it'll get any votes, but it should be mentioned just to be fair. And Ferrari too. So, how 'bout that poll, svelte?
  20. More pics:
  21. I think I just dropped my jaw... This thing is beautiful! It's way out of my price league but beautiful nevertheless! Just perfect! A nice surprise indeed. Thank you, TLG!
  22. Well, yeah, Buzz does look a bit strange in that side view. But that doesn't make me want that set any less. As Batbrick said, this is one of those Lego sets that only look good from certain angles. But who cares - it's still BUZZ! Thanks for the pics. I do hope we'll see a lot more soon!
  23. Isn't it a bit early to ask this? I mean, two out of the six themes you listed aren't even released yet. And why aren't Avatar, SpongeBob, or Harry Potter options? For me, it's very hard to choose. Obviously, I love SW. SW is awesome, and combined with Lego, it's pure awesomeness. Harry Potter was a very nice theme too, though, with great figs and parts. But now we have Toy Story coming out, a theme that I have been dreaming of since I was a little kid. I think for now, I'll have to go with SW, but once all the TS sets are out, I might change my mind.
  24. You're right, Peppermint, there have been a few topics about these already. And I'm pretty sure that that rotating arm is for powering up the lamp. :wink:
  25. Wait, I thought that one aired already? And inflated prices on Lego. Don't cry. I have a neat Agents MOC coming up that should make up for it. Can't wait to see your post-apoc creation! Too bad WM is on hold. I hope you'll be able to finish it soon. Bruce must be tired of sleeping in the batmobile all the time. I actually like it when he's angry. As you know, I don't like all that ray of hope crap. Which is why I liked B/S: Public Enemies. Then again, he made it almost too easy for Luthor to make him look like the bad guy. Ah, I see. Well, no wonder I didn't know, because I never saw "The End". With CN showing reruns now, I'm in hope of catching it, but they tend to not show such three-parters/season finales amongst reruns. What's worse is that they keep showing "Birthmark", thereby teasing me. Oh well, if they don't show it, I can always go and buy that season. I saw it yesterday. You were right, it doesn't have much plot, but it's still pretty cool. The action was great, I don't think the characters looked too similar. I also didn't think it was short. Not any shorter than most other Marve/DC cartoons are. That Batman/Superman mech would make one sweet MOC when done right. Maybe I will. Now, if you excuse me, I'll go fantasize about Power Girl a bit.
