Don't spend the money. Forget it, its a dull set obviously designed for smaller kids. I bought it fo $10 and felt cheated. Really, you arent missing much.

If we get a fez headpiece, it can also be used for Sallah later
-
I saw these on Brickshelf, and they were just too good to ignore. Here's to hoping that the boat(s) in the Venice set look something like that. Credit to Brickshelf user numpty.

I would not be surprised if the graveyard set is another $10 one. For a while, the Jungle Duel set was hard to come by near where I live, and I think that is party caused by the fact that it sold well. Extremely well, if I had to guess. I think the smaller sets out of any theme sell the best, especially liscensed ones. And judging by the 3 $10 sets we've seen out of this line, the graveyard as a $10 set would be a very good value.

Wow. I wonder how much that new creator house will cost. Probably $50 USD, but I would buy it in a heartbeat if it was $30, like the beach house.

I'm fairly certain that is Marion, as none of the other figures we can see look like that. Having her in that red/white shirt would be nice. I'm positive that the box was cut off, as Indy isn't even in the top right corner like every other box. What is pictured seems incredibly skimpy for a $10, and I think more is needed. Maybe if Marion is there she will be in a big basket?

Is there line to be drawn when making MOCs?
Derek replied to Derek's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'm intrigued that all of you have so many different views on this topic. I probably should have gotten a better example, its just that I saw that on Brickshelf and it made me think of other MOCS that showed worse events. I can agree that this is depicting an act of heroism, so I think I've changed my opinion of the MOC. I was thinking of how bad it could have been, but I neglected to see the positive of the situation. I'm not telling anyone what to build or not, but I still think sharing a MOC of the Twin Towers collapsing online is still a little much, especially as depicted using a "children's toy". I again want to state that I am not telling anyone what they can and cannot do, I was just curious to everyones opinions. -
Power Miners: New Sets for 2009
Derek replied to cartoondude's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Good God that giant rock monster looks terrible. I hope it is preliminary. The rest look good to me, and I have a feeling the medium sized monsters have springed arms, because in both of the pictures they are flinging something. -
I saw this on Brickshelf earlier, and thought it was incredibly--tacky is the best word to describe it. I just think that some things shouldn't be recreated in LEGO, and plane crashes are one of them. I know that the Hudson emergency landing was incredibly miraculous and there were no casualties, but it just feels uncomfortable seeing it in Lego. There are other things done in Lego that gave me this feeling, such as those concentration camp fake sets, and several 9/11 recreations. Am I the only one that feels this way? Or am I overreacting? Please give your opinion here. -darthperson

Star Wars Custom: Luke Skywalker, Hoth
Derek replied to Shadows's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
It came out very nice, even if it did take a "couple days". -
I don't get it. Is it supposed to be from something?
-
Thats pretty funny! Where is that head from?
-
I don't know, if they have to do another Falcon, I'm pretty sure they would do it for the anniversary. So maybe it will be an exclusive, like the Droid Gunship at Walmart ($30) or the Tank at Target ($50), though I'm leaning toward the latter of those two...
-
I think the Clone Wars boxes are probably the best at the moment. They just look so clean and shiny and make me want to buy every set on the shelf. Second, I think the Power Miners packaging really stands out. The lime green and orange just pop out at you.
-
Wow! I thought I was the only one derranged enough to make a MOC with businessmen and poo! Nice job!
-
I think those are the only bills TLC produces, they were at least the only ones I have.
-
Hink, you might not want to put bananas in there with the peels on. This is very nice though, and I was thinking of using that clear piece as a part of a watercooler for one of my Office vigs.
-
It would be nice to see a winter subtheme. In additon to this, there could also be ski resorts, log cabins, or even a skating rink.
-
Haha! I love how the colors of that troll with the orange hair and jester shirt completey clash.

Sigfigs Wanted! I need some peoples sigfigs!
Derek replied to Dennimator's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I saw my name on that list (I'm very flattered ) at the moment, my sigfig is a regular Patrick Star, as seen in the Spongebob sets. Hope that helps. -
I had gotten a few sets here and there before 2003, but I really got into LEGO in around 2005. I really like the new colors better than the old ones, they seem so clean and cool. The old greys always seemed like they were dirty to me.
-
I love extra pieces, I keep them in their own seperate cup. I have gotten- -Extra 4 plates in the 6211 ISD -Extra bag of minfig parts/accessories in Vladeks dark fortress -Extra antennas in various sets -Extra gold and silver 1x1 round studs are always nice to have I havent gotten either of them, but I heard there is an extra clone accsesory pack in the Republic Gunship and AT-TE, so I guess thats a good one to mention.
-
2 of these guys hold it together. I really surprised myself by how good it came out. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
-
Nice ideas. I think that we should definately get some more stores, and some more food. here is just something about minifig food that I like so much. However, 11 minifigs for the grocery store and bowling alley seem a little unrealistic for TLC. T

I don't know, they may put another Mon Calamari warrior or something in if they are making a new mold. I don't think they would be able to use it much elsewhere If they include Mon Mothma, she could use the new Castle Queen/Leia hairpiece in dark orange.
