You are correct! DPI is also another critical factor. -

Dorayaki, awesome rendition of these prints of yours through Minifig Labs.com. It is wonderful to be able to see you utilise their printing services to aid in your project. I agree with your observations made, based on the quality of their output even though I not sure what could be their recommended pixel size for the image given to be able to print with a decent quality. I fully agreed with you that not many custom vendors out there are willing to commission a project for an individual with limited quantities for their own usage. Thank you for sharing. -
Agreed with you, but the main focus for this launch is where the consumer is allow to be able to create their own supporters to support in this World Cup. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. Minifig Labs.com has taken note of it and will improve based on the consumers' feedback as well. I will said there is definitely some limitations based on their current technology.

Presenting the member of Conservation Turtle Corps It has been a long time since I am able to participate in a building contest and I am very glad to come up with my first entry. It is called the Conservation Turtle. As you notice that this turtle has a rather big shell made of wood instead of hi-tech armour. It aim to protect itself through traditional wood material to remind others to conserve natural resources. This turtle is an official member of the Conservation Turtle Corps. Their sole mission is to preserve the environmental surroundings in Earth and Deep Space. The light beam ray serve to rectify any known damages and restore to the original state. Not meant to be as a combat weapon. I hope you enjoy viewing this simplistic entry of mine. More images can be found in my Flickr Album

Hello everyone, I am pleased to share with everyone on this review. Even though this review is more than 18 months worth of wait, I have been procrastinating to work on this review and with the 6th Anniversary of the Reviewers Academy, I ought to wrap this up. Earlier ago, My girlfriend (now wife) and I went to LEGOLAND Malaysia on the 1st January 2013. It is not our first trip there. I saw these lovely new Superheroes sets and I was so tempted to buy it. Instead she bought these sets for me even though these sets cost a premium and Singapore will not see these sets until a month later or so. Right now at this present moment, I think it probably be lesser on the retail shelves. I did start building these sets and take these photos last year. Nonetheless, I hope you will enjoy this reviewing coverage. Name: 76000 Arctic Batman vs Mr Freeze: Aquaman on Ice Theme: LEGO / Licensed / DC Comics / Batman Year: 2013 Pieces: 198 Minifigs: 3 minifigures Price: USD $19.99, GBP 19.99, EURO 26.99, SGD $50.90, RM 129.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An original box image of the 76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr Freeze : Aquaman on Ice Back view of the original box image of the 76000 Arctic Batman vs. Mr Freeze : Aquaman on Ice Batman and Aquaman combined forces to take down Mr Freeze Now, what make this set so exciting for me! First of all, this is a LEGO Superheroes set that classified under the DC Universe, which ultimately provided us a chance, to finally own an 'Aquaman' LEGO minifigure through this set. As you can see from the current LEGO DC Universe sets not including the classic Batman sets, this is the only set that feature a Batboat, counting from 2012 to present moment. So, if you require your Batman to take on villains such as The Penguin which is aquatic based foe, it is best to bring this Batboat along to increase the winning odds. The content of the sealed box Within the sealed box, it comes with 4 mint packages, a mini poster (front) and (back), a dreaded sticker sheet and an instruction manual to build up the set. After the building is completed, these are the remaining spare parts. Let's start the building process I enjoyed pouring all of the opened package into one big pile of bricks since it does not come with numbered bags. Might as well make a better and challenging experience for me to mix the pile altogether, just like old times. Introducing the sub zero minifigures It's not too bad to be able to obtain all these licensed minifigures in this box since these are pretty much exclusive to this set. To be honest, I will think the main highlight would be Aquaman especially since this is his first opening appearance into the world of LEGO Minifigures. You can see the back view of the minifigures with accessories and without accessories which you are able to notice the dual emotion appearances for Arctic Batman and Aquaman. Arctic Batman Batman has no issues or financial restrictions of equipping himself with the high technology and state-of-the-art suits to combat his arch-enemies. This is also no exception. By equipping himself with the Arctic suit, he is able to take on foes in the sub zero climate where enemies like The Penguin and Mr Freeze can be found in their elusive hideout. Byremoving the hood, you will notice his iconic frown and determined facial feature is similar with the rest of the other Batman minifigures. This is a simple comparison between the two Batman designs, originally from the 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape. Aquaman The new LEGO DC Universe now see a new superhero, Aquaman, also known as Arthur Curry and Orin. He is a superhero and the ruler of the seas. As the king of Atlantis and other undersea territories, he technically controls most of the planet. His abilities include super-strength, durability, super-speed, staying underwater indefinitely, and telepathy, which he uses to communicate with sea-life. As you can see from his other facial feature, you do know that Aquaman is serious in the things that he do and he will not succumb to his enemies so easily. A little similar with our LEGO Atlantis Divers A classic Batman villain which we are familiar with, and is none other than Mr Freeze who fights using cold-based weapons. Formerly a scientist working in cryogenics, Mr Freeze had dedicated his life to finding a cure for his wife's terminal illness. Following a horrify laboratory accident, he became dependent on sub zero temperatures to survive. He also requires an exo-skeleton that keeps him constantly freezing. Losing touch with humanity over time, he eventually turns into a colder and more sadistic psychopath. You can view the a detailed breakdown of Mr Freeze. It is quite similar with our LEGO Deep Sea Divers from the Atlantis Theme which utilise the same headgear equipment. This is another image of a detailed breakdown of Mr Freeze back view Block of deep freezing ice The block of deep freezing ice formed by Mr Freeze to entrap his prisoners is a very much simple built which utilise of trans-light blue rock panel. It is a quick and effective way to minimise brick count to build this ice prison quickly, even though this may not be welcomed by many. This is an image of the side view of block of deep freezing ice. Play Feature (1) Aquaman breaking free In the above official illustrated box art, this demonstrate the first play feature, which involved Aquaman breaking free. By pressing on the lever below, it enable the frozen ice to break open and free Aquaman from within. You can see another image in this side view of Aquaman frozen in solid state. Minifigure fit in nicely Come on, I will freeze you further Building process of the Batboat The building process of the Batboat is illustrated in the above collage, where the main focus is to laid the strong foundation of the boat hull, sides and base through various locking techniques which was shown in the strong colour bricks such as red, yellow and green to reinforce the aquatic structure. Applying the stickers onto the control panels Normally, I don't like to apply stickers but this is one of the exceptions. Because, without stickers, the set will look rather bland and bare. It is a pity that the control panels and the cockpit sides do not come with printed parts. Almost finished building the Batboat The completed built of the Batboat This is the completed built of the Batboat, where Batman is ready to deploy in sea and deep Arctic conditions. With the stickers applied appropriately as instructed by the manual, the sticker details brought out the nice attention of the various aspects of the Batboat. Side view of the Batboat Back view of the Batboat Opening the cockpit Arctic Batman in place Play Feature (2) - Shooting of Flick Discs In the above official illustrated box art, this demonstrate the second play feature of shooting the dual flick discs. It is fun and simple to reload as well. Pretty engaging for children, not too sure if the AFOLs will like this combat feature. A closer look at the firing flick discs function Play Feature (3) - Deployable Bombs In the above official illustrated box art, this demonstrate the third play feature which involve the ticking of the deployable bombs to serve as mines to detonate and delay the pursuing enemies from behind. A closer look at the deployable bombs No one will come and save you Ah ha! Thanks Batman! Let me get my trident Now it is my turn to save others Just arrived in the nick of time To conclude, this is a very decent play set which involved in building a fun aquatic Batboat for Batman to use on sea combat missions against his arch-enemies. It is fun to play with these playing features even though it may not appeal greatly to AFOLs, but work wonders for young children, like what my small cousin used to mess with my Batboat by shooting the flick discs whenever possible. More importantly, the biggest appeal is to acquire Aquaman since there is no other way to obtain him except for this set. Arctic Batman is a decent alternate variation which is welcoming and Mr Freeze is also look well in this new re-released design. All in all, I enjoyed this greatly. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Fun to play with those flick missiles for younger children.) Design: 8/10 (Not too bad, as the Batboat is well designed.) Price: 8/10 (Reasonably priced, but will be best if it is able to get it during sales.) Overall: 8/10 (Get this set and don't miss it before it is end-of-life.) I gave it a "4" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed.

Due to the earlier technical error, this review had to go abit of hibernation. I am glad and pleased to announce that the review is back! Good job, Masked Builder! This Exo Suit is definitely one of the most excellent mecha design with firm and tight structure based on the entire built process.

Hello everyone, I am very excited to share this review with all of you, More importantly, I just realised that this is my first actual LEGO Creator review that I will be doing even though I have been buying and building LEGO Creator sets. I hope this review will also inspire many others to own this small Creator set and encourage you to buy more than one copy. Without further ado, let's take a train ride to see how good this set really is! Name: 31015 Emerald Express Theme: LEGO System / Creator Year: 2014 Pieces: 56 Minifigs: 0 minifigure Price: USD $4.99, GBP 4.99, EURO 4.99, SGD $9.90 Resources: Brickset, BrickLink An original box image of the 31015 Emerald Express Back view of the original box image of the 31015 Emerald Express Persuading you to acquire all three same sets to achieve this end-result As you look at the back of the box, you notice that this is one of the uncommon features in LEGO Creator sets. Most of the time, LEGO Creators will promote individual '3' in '1' designs based on its own design merit. In this case, the 31015 Emerald Express is also based on the design merit and able to contribute two other alternate designs to form with the primary design. In this image, it is able to show the co-relation and subtly encourage you to acquire more than just one set. Presenting one of the most beautiful LEGO Creator Mini Set I am not exaggerating but this is one of the most amazing and beautiful LEGO Creator Mini set in the small box set size. The sheer design of able to build of these three different designs of your choice with only a total of 56 bricks is pure incredible. I applaud the designer's sheer creativity to put across the combination of these limited amount of bricks to build a Emerald Express, a Rocket Train or a Carriage of your choice. Without any minifigures presence, this Creator set is able to attract buyers to acquire this set for the design. If you have probably recognise, this Emerald Express is actually form a close resemblance to iconic and popular 10194 Emerald Night train in 2009. Not exactly similar, but the Emerald Express utilise the same colour schema of 'Earth Green' or 'Emerald Green' to build up this set and these colour bricks are very well received among LEGO AFOLs. The content of the sealed box The sealed box comes with two mint packages and an instruction manual to guide the user to build up the set. After the building is completed based on the selected design, the remaining spare parts varies. The amount of remaining spare parts will be shared in the later part of this review after each presented design segment in this review. Beautiful bricks laid down nicely and ready for building Main Design: Emerald Express The main design which is known as the Emerald Express measures over 7cm high, 8cm long and 3cm wide. This old steam locomotive is very nice to view and it bear most of the distinct steam train features such as the chimney, driver's cab, bar at the front, etc. This is just nicely done and I think you will agree with me that this set is one classic looking train. You can see some nice details of the Emerald Express in this view and this view. The train chimney also can be adjusted as well. The completed built of Emerald Express with the remaining spare parts Alternate Design (1): Rocket Train The first alternate design which is known as the Rocket Train measures over 4cm high, 9cm long and 3cm wide. I am not sure why this is coined as a Rocket Train. It could be due to the front of the train bearing similar rocket front design which is why it was given the name of Rocket Train. I will tend to think that this is quite a modern looking locomotive that does not utilise steam to push the train forward. I could be wrong since I am not really into trains or having sound knowledge in this area too. I personally felt that the design is done nicely and it somehow may even pass off as a rear in the Emerald Express as you can seen in the earlier image. You can see some nice details of the Rocket Train in these several different views as highlighted in here, there, across and over here. The completed built of Rocket Train with the remaining spare parts Alternate Design (2): Carriage The second alternate design which is known as the Carriage measures over 4cm high, 6cm long and 3cm wide. This Carriage is just incredible. This design may actually allow you to army build train carriages to cater for either Emerald Express or the Rocket Train which can be accompanied with a row of carriages to carry the passengers. I am not sure how long you will like your train to have but I will personally think that a total of five sections will be pretty impressive. I am sure it will also be fun to be pulling it around. I am confident that one of the main reason why people buy many of these sets is due to army build of carriages. It happens in Singapore when it was first released in January 2014 and when there is a 20% sales being declared, this small Creator set is one of the few that will no longer be on the shelves. You can see some nice details of the Carriage in these different views as highlighted in here and over here. You can also remove the carriage roof top to reveal what is inside. The designer utilise the 1x1 transparent round yellow flat brick to represent the presence of the train passenger. All three completed original Creator Designs So, what do you think after you see all of the three built original designs? Yes, I actually bought a total of three sets, not because I want to showcase it for this review but because I felt that this Creator set is best represented if you actually acquired all three sets. Most of the other Creator sets, be it big or small, they are actually most likely to be stand-alone. In this case, this can actually be integrated together to your liking and you are actually getting it more to expand the train capacity. Although this is categorise as a small Creator set and it could not be used for actual LEGO Train sets in City settings since it cannot be placed onto the tracks, but this small Creator set is charming and delightful of a small miniature set that can be much suitable to be placed onto your working table or a display piece in your cabinet. It does not really take up a lot of space as well. I have also put up a poll to see what type of train variations do you like. It will be fun to gauge what the rest feel. A contrast comparison with Emerald Express and Rocket Train Emerald Express combined with carriage Rocket Train combined with carriage All three different designs combined together Moving off to the next station LEGO passengers awaiting at the platform To conclude, I am very pleased with this purchase and getting more than just one set, is just welcoming. The price tag is not too high and it is affordable to buy this Creator set on impulse despite of the lack of minifigure. You probably interested in this set if you find this train lovely or due to the interest or similar colour scheme of the 10194 Emerald Night. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Interchangeable with the given built designs.) Design: 10/10 (Top marks for the design, as it able to utilise such a small pool of bricks to form three different original designs in a single related theme.) Price: 9/10 (Price is very reasonable but it will be best if you can get this during discount even though it may not make much of a huge difference.) Overall: 9/10 (Top notch small LEGO Creator set and it is not your typical design that you will see often.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? I hope every one of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Criticisms are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Flickr.

You did a good job. I can recognise all of them and in my case, I like Digglet. You don't get to see Digglet LEGO MOC very often. Also nice to see this 'original' first 150 Pokemon design, I don't like those after the 151.

Very nice scenery. I am fond of the tree with colourful bright flowers. It make you feel at ease too. The garden with the vegetation field is equally impressive, so is the nice humble cottage. Good job.
