  1. Good idea. I personally see a separate visor on the Space Marine, but I may be wrong. Either way, that helmet and body armor seems to be showing me a glimpse of the future. With MB losing its licenses, we may be seeing LEGO Halo soon enough. That helmet and armor seems to agree with me, since it is exactly the right shape. All it would need is a golden visor, and walla, HALO Spartan!
  2. Okay, here's the way I see this new line: The villains have escaped, but some wierd occurence has merged them together. The heroes are outfitted with unique gear and sent on solo missions, each with their own villain to face. The combos of villains are: Toxic Reapa: Meltdown/Waspix/Corroder Thornraxx: Jetbug/Rotor Jawblade: Fangz/Raw-Jaw Splitface: Nitroblast/Drilldozer/Xplode/Thunder Black Phantom: Von Nebula, Fire Lord, Witch Doctor Now, the Hero/Villain fights, as seen on the boxes: Breez vs. Thornraxx Surge vs. Splitface Furno vs. Jawblade Evo vs. Toxic Reapa Rocka vs. Black Phantom My thoughts on each set: Thornraxx: I like the new color, and the pieces are nice, but overall not that appealing. 6/10 Jawblade: The recolored Furno pieces are a nice addition, and the parts look very useful. 8/10 Toxic Reapa: By far the best villain of this wave. I love the lime green and the mask and launchers look really nice. 10/10 Splitface: Another good villain, the mask looks great. Probably will get three, one to paint completely red, one to paint completely silver, and the last to leave as is. 9.5/10 Black Phantom: The best titan of this theme. Design is reminicent of both Fire Lord and Von Nebula, looks quite good. 9/10 Furno: Not my favorite, mainly because of the reuse of that god-awful mask. The turbines are a nice addition though. 6/10 Rocka: My favorite Hero. The mask is very similar to Bionicle, and the crossbow is quite cool. 10/10 Evo: The mask is great, but the lack of unique weapon signifigantly takes away from its appeal. 7/10 Surge: I like the Lime Green, and the lightning is a good recolor. Surge's mask was my favorite 1.0 mask, and still looks quite good on this new hero. 8/10 Breez: Her mask was one of the better 1.0 masks, but looks off on this new body. 6/10 Those are my thoughts about this wave. The most appealing ones are Rocka, Toxic Reapa, and Splitface. Now to wait for the pics of the summer wave to come!
  3. Exellent MOC! Are the cobblestones attached or are they loose? I can't see any way to make that pattern without the cobblestones not being attached. Nice Ninjago 'TARDIS^^'. @Kadabra: Here.
  4. The other reason feeling bags is okay is because you don't always get the 'fig you want. I tried to get two S5 cavegirls th other day, felt the bags until I was sure, and then checked out. After I opened them, I found that I had gotten 1 cavegirl and an Inspector, which is the only S5 fig I don't like. The same goes for S7. You could be sure that you have, say, 4 space marines and end up getting tennis players instead. It's a matter of how much time you take. The more time you take to be sure, the better the chance is you get what you want.
  5. Nice job J4KE! All of the MOCs I have seen here in Sci-Fi are amazing, and this one is no exception. The machine guns are very well built, and the wings are just perfect for this design.
  6. That looks very good halfpenguinhalflego! The only criticism I have is that he looks like a ninja with that 1 x 2 with Overhang piece on his face.
  7. These are all awesome Masked Builder! That Halo guy would be better with a gold visor though.
  8. Nice review Popup. I like this set, and I will probably get multiples of it for the swords, ninja, and that awesome 4-clip pinhole piece of which I have none.
  9. I agree about TLG being very hush-hush this year, and the capitalizing on the rush of fans. My first and foremost concern is that we are starting to get rumors already for some summer waves, so wouldn't we be getting the info now or soon in the future? As I said, I have almost lost hope. If we haven't got rumors or pictures by January, I don't think that this will happen.
  10. RFPP, anyone? (RFPP stands for Random Figure Placement Policy.)
  11. Yeah, I know how it is in the rest of the world, for some reason TLG gives us Americans the best prices when they aren't even based here. Good point about the 3 for 2 deals, but that doesn't happen very often around me.
  12. "Hello Gorg, unfortunately there are no quests in which you can 'smash bad guys', as of right now." Dak looked at the orc, he had met many of that species. In his experience, they were rowdy, violent, and bad-tempered. He made a silent note to be careful, lest he find himself in a fight. OOC: Sorry about that all the players who have Orcs. I'm just developing my character.
  13. I've nearly lost hope that this is real. We have no solid evidence, and while the other rumored themes and sets get pictures, this theme gets none. I think that this is, just like it was all those other years, just a rumor.
  14. Being an active player of TFU and TFU2, I must say that that second funny may be the best one yet! I have an idea, but I need a new camera if I am to pull it off. Mine sucks.
  15. If you think that I should use yours as reference, I'm fine with that. Okay, I have got Appo's helmet corrected (I did it wrong before), I have one shoulder done, and he needs the leg markings. Once I'm done I will put him here alongside the completed Bly.
  16. The best choice, in my opinion of course, would be to make the sets Dark Red or Dark Green, with yellow highlights and stickers. That would reduce the brightness of this theme and give it some rare colors that would greatly increase the value of the sets. If they resurrected Sand Red, I would much rather have it in something like PQ instead of this. The sand red/sand green would clash with the yellow awfully. Back on the pics, that fence in the Raptor set seems quite cool. Perfect for the T-rex to impale someone on!
  17. I was thinking of making things like a Scale halve the damage dealt to the target for one battle. If that has already been done, I will find a different property for the Scale. As I said before, this Quest is still under construction, as I just started building the scenery and the beasts. I'm still open to suggestions for it. Please, if anyone thinks that my sign-ups or my beast can be improved in any way, tell me. I'm still a bit new to this, so I need your comments and suggestions if I am to pull this off.
  18. I haven't checked the first post for weeks..... Darn. Sorry about that, really should be checking the first post more often like I did before I was a member. But still, I thought the TIE would be $30, maybe $40, but $50? That's ridiculous! And I thought that I might be able to get multiples.......
  19. Wow, Jay ZX looks a lot better than I anticipated. I will have to get multiples of him and the other ZX ninjas. They all look awesome, and those Pearl Silver swords on Jay ZX will be very useful for my Heroica RPG character. The hoods are the best part though. The gold and silver plating really compliments the ninja's colorscheme.
  20. I want to see what happens when you mix a Barbarian with a Rogue! But those classes look amazing Sandy, too bad I am only Level 1. Can't wait to get to Level 15 now!
  21. I had an idea for a Quest, but as I said earlier, I have to get into one first, so mine probably won't be up until mid-November to early December. Here's what I have so far: Quest #_: Hunt in the Grasslands. (Title still under construction.) There is a beast rampaging through the grasslands, eating livestock and people. I need a team of 6 Heroes to help me defeat the beast. At least 1 Barbarian needed, since this will be a tough hunt. All other classes welcome, but you need to be skilled at what you do. The beast has many spawn, and we will have to fight our way through them to find it. (That's the sign-up note) (Here's one of the first battles): Infant Dinosaur Beast (Earth) Health: 10/10 Special:Cry: Calls older Dinosaur Beasts to its aid. Drops: 1 Scale (Imparts the Shield effect on the target for the duration of one battle. That's all I have so far. Just so you know, the Infant Dinosaur Beasts will be made with the Mutant Lizards from Dino Attack/2010.
  22. In the eloquent words of re-re-retconned Darth Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The BPs went up another dollar, and the TIE is unaffordable. The Geonosian Cannon and the Droid Escape are the only relatively good deals on this list. Well, I was planning on getting more than one of both those sets anyway......
  23. Separating my clones into separate files is hard, because when I do, they get extremely stretched, like the photo of my Mafia School character in my signature. I am going to try some different strategies of getting them each their own document, but for now they will remain the way they are. I am almost done with Bly, the stripes on his arms are the real killer. Appo is looking good, just need to get the white rectangle on his chest, do his leg markings, and give him the battle-wearing on his armor like I did with Gree.
  24. Thank you for your answer, I was going to start working on this as soon as I got into a Quest. I am going to start making the MOCs today though, as I will need a lot of them if I am to make this. Since I wasn't picked for any of the new Quests, I will just have to wait until the next batch comes up to try and get in one. The quest probably won't be up until around New Years, unless the next batch of Quests comes incredibly fast.
  25. Would it be possible to make a Quest to find a certain beast and/or monster? I know that Quest #1 was much like that but I mean a quest like a dragon slaying. I had a quest planned, but it will only work if this is possible. I'm going to wait until I complete a Quest before I start making it, though.
