  1. Damn Roberto, crank that Tchaikovsky up the eleven, cuz we have ourselves Swan Lake up here! But seriously, can't wait to write bios for series H!
  2. No problem man, always loved your CMF Reviews, I'm just Glad I could help. :)
  3. Great review Whitefang, but I have to disagree to one thing: The highwayman is NOT a Wild West figure, he is clearly modeled after such historical figures like Dick Turpin, or Dennis Moore, both of whom were 18th century highwaymen from England. Wild West however is a period of mid to late 19th century of American history, in which Tricorne hats and flintlock pistols our Highwayman is brandishing were obsolete, in favor of Stentson hats and Colt Revolvers. If so, The highwayman is more close to the Pirates theme, as you said, and if we're talking about american history, he's more in place during the Independence War. You should rather pair him with the series 10 Revolutionary Soldier minifig, because they are from the same time period.
  4. @SirBlake, @ElectroDiva: Thank you for your kind words, Ladies and Gentlemen. :) My personal favourites are: Vampire Knight, Necromancer, Plague Doctor, Monk, and both 18th century style minifigs.
  5. So, After Compliling my list, I Decided to take a step further and actually design my figs: Since Elf Girl was already made by TLG, I had to make a different fig, a Plague Doctor. Also my list consisted only 15 minifigs, so I added a Mindflayer, straight from D&D. And sorry for messed up prints, I have to use LDD in Safe Mode, which Sucks. Anyways: First row, from left to right: Vampire Knight, 17th-18th Century Gentleman (Suggested official name: Nobleman, or Prince), Necromancer and female Alchemist. Second Row: Steampunk Minifig (Sugested official name: Steam Engineer), Clockwork Automaton, Female Pirate (Sugested Official name: Pirate Wench), and Norman Warrior. Third Row: Golem, Plague Doctor, 18th century Lady (Suggested Official name: Opera Singer), and Dark Elf. And the last row: Monk (suggested official name: Chronicler, or Scribe), Bard/Minstrel, Mindflayer/Ithilid/Chthulhu (Suggested official name: Eldritch Horror), and Centaur. If you want to see them in flesh, here's the .lxf: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Eggyslav/CMF/fantasy_cmf.lxf
  6. Well, I had an Elf Woman in my list, And Gosh Dang, TLG delivers Isn't she glorious?
  7. Ok, so, Here's my lineup: 1. Undead Knight/Warrior (Either as a skeletal or ghastly form, or as a Vampire with bat heraldry, as a nod to Fright Knights) 2. 18th century Gentleman/Prince (Might reuse S7 Judge's wig) 3. A Necromancer (an evil wizard with some cool bone designs, perhaps in a form of a Lich?) 4. An Alchemist (Basically a Medieval Mad Scientist) 5. Some sort of Steampunk minifigure (an Inventor, or Airship Pilot, or something else to go with Steampunk) 6. Clockwork Automaton 7. Female Pirate 8. Historically accurate Viking/Norman (no horned helmet nonsense) 9. A stone or clay Golem 10. Elven Female 11. 18 Century Queen/Lady (Think Marie Antoinette) 12. A dark Elf 13. A Medieval Monk (very unlikely because of TLG's non religious policy) 15. A Bard/Musician 16. A Centaur (With new horse body mould).
  8. Fantastic Job Yooha, Frightening King, Space Police (What is a Sci-Fi minifig doing in this collection anyway? ) and Pirate Lass have to be my favourites. And as for the Viking Amazon, I think a Viking Shieldmaiden would be a better name.
  9. No I did not tamper with my Operating system configuration. I removed the Profile folder and reinstalled LDD, but still nothing. At least I can use it in safe mode...
  10. Really guys, help me, I can't live without LDD, It's my main MOCing Medium, my favourite past time, I just can't, I have so many Ideas for MOCs, and I can't realize it because of that Bullcrap. Please, I need your help!!!!!
  11. I did both those things, I rebooted TWICE. And nothing. still get the bloody error message. Any solutions?
  12. Guys I have a problem. LDD was working ok for me even earlier today, but suddenly. when I try to launch it, I get the following message: LDD could not create it's window. This usually happens when an OpenGL driver is not installed. Please ensure that the latest OpenGL driver for your graphics card is installed on your computer. Now the problem is, after updating my drivers, I still get this message. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!! :(
  13. @JACKATTACKS: Glad you like my Brickheadz, as for the Emperor, well, the guy was a creepy old man afterall, so I guess I nailed the character... :)
  14. Aw, Hell, I'll at least try one, for good old times sake: Minstrel: If someone requests "Green Sleeves" again I Swear. To. God... The Minstrel is the greatest bard in the whole kingdom, and he's not only just singing, but he also plays lute, writes poems, sonnets and ballads, and even once wrote some plays for the Actor, and played in duet with the piper (the folks say that really was a mesmerizing performance). A true renaissance minifig, he's always open minded for new challenges. Alas, though, his public most love him for his incredibly lyric interpretation of the classic "Green Sleeves", and always request that only song, completely ignoring his other works. As such, the Minstrels is getting pretty sick of that catchy, yet cliche medieval piece of music...
  15. Yes, I do agree, in fact, since I have a little bit of Writer's Block, I think I'll pass my share of bios to you guys, I hope you won't be mad... NwaP, 8Brick, Gentlemen, I see I have worthy Successors, When I started writing bios for Roberts Minifigs (BTW, Great series bro!), I didn't realize I encouraged others to do so, it was a great fun. But, don't worry, as T-800 once said: I'll be back. ;)
  16. Funny you Mention It, I just made some Myself: From Left to right: Master Yoda, Luke Skywalker (in his Final Duel Clothes), Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. And Here's the Back of them:
  17. Wait, I'm confused, Is this guy celebrating Dia De Los Muertos (The sugar skull/Calavera shirt motive)?
  18. It kinda reminds me of Pyro from Team Fortress 2, similar silhouette and mask.....
  19. But the Sprinter isn't based on Pistorius, It's just a generic one-legged sportsman (Pistorius doesn't have both of his legs, that's the major difference).
  20. I still have the first Lego Racers on my laptop, and I occasionally play it.
  21. There is no Death. There's only Force. Rest in Peace, Princess.
  22. Thanks Robert, the peasant was obviously based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail and since Space Soldier looks so TRON-esque, I depicted his as a stereotypical FPS gamer, and i did it even whitout mentioning teabagging. XD
  23. Damn, Nerd-with-a-Pencil, your bios are getting really dark and edgy! Suicidal Gingerbread Girl? PTSD'd Birthday Clown? Holy shiet! But you're right, It will be fair if next time you'll pick first. Anyways, here's my share of bios: Space Soldier: W000T! You just got R3KT by a true MLG, Alien Scum! For the Space Soldier the Galactic War he's been fighting for years is just a game, a video game that is. You may call him a delusional maniac, but he has so much fun blasting his foes, and throwing plasma grenades around, doing barrel rolls in his starfighter and taunting his brothers in arms via comlink. His enthusiasm can be off-putting sometimes, but there's no denying, that when it comes to 360-no-scoping some Andromedan space pirates in the face, he is the best man for the job. Castaway: SOS! SOS! Get me out of here! I'm really lonely... This down on his luck sailor was under the command of Pirate Captain, who was famous for unintentionaly sinking his ships. And unsuprisingly, the vessel that Castaway was on, shared the grim fate of it's predecessors, crashing into a coral reef, and sinking. Some of the crew saved themselves, some ended up in Davy Jones' Locker, and the Castaway wound up on a deserted island. With only wild monkeys as company, the castaway at first was terrified of his predicament, but, after panicking for a while, he mustered all his wit, and took good use of his survival skills. And now, after many years, using only stuff he foraged on the island, he crafted himself a very nice shelter, with anything he needs: warm fireplace, a bed made out of leaves, a pen with wild goats, clay pots and containers, hand weaved baskets full of fruit, fishing, and hunting equipment, a mill, and even a rum making still! But, despite settling on the island with every ammenity he would need to survive, Castaway really wants to go back home. Afterall, he would just like to see another minifig's face, or hear someone's voice, other than his. That's why he litters the sea with so many messages in a bottle. Pixie: Hey, that's my flower, go find your own! As a ephemeric child of Fae, Pixie is really mischevious and frolicky, But no one realizes, that apart from dancing in the moonlit meadows, and pestering gnomes, Pixie has also a lot of responsibilities, like grooming Unicorns, making the flowers bloom, leading lost travelers out of the woods, and helping all the forest critters. This is why, even though playful in nature, The Pixie can get really cranky, or even angry, especially if someone, or something is posing as a threat to her beloved forest glades. And you don't want to incure Pixie's wrath, trust me on that. Sneaky Guy: Ahem, Two tickets for "Sexxxy Killer Shark Massacre", please. Yes, We, I mean I am adult, why would you think otherwise? Why do you stare at that tall, wobbly man in a trechcoat? He's a perfectly normal, ADULT singular man, as it is apparent by his awesome moustache that by any means are not fake. There's really nothing suspicious about this guy, nope, nothing at all. He is just a regular bloke like you or me, or those two kids stacked one on another, wearing a hat, a trenchcoat and fake moustache... Hey, Wait a second... Ghost Boy: Boo! Tehehe! It's no suprise that Ghost boy loves Halloween. Every year he puts on his white sheet with cut out eyeholes, and pretends to haunt the neighbours for candy. But little does he know, that he indeed is a REAL GHOST! That's why his ghost sheet is glowing. Nobody knows what tragedy untimely ended his life, or why is he doomed to roam the mortal plane as a non-corporeal spirit, but still, The ghost Boy is pretty much oblivious to his situation, he thinks he is as alive as his friends and family. (Yeah, this one's also really dark...) Go-Carter A girl has her need, a need for speed! Just like her older brother, F1 Racer, Go-carter loves the extreme speed, the competetive spirit, and the roar of a motor is like music to her ears. But since she's just a teenager, and haven't got her licence yet, she tests her reflexes and driving skills on go-cart tracks. Quickly she earned herself the monicker "Pink Blur", as she squeezed all the power from her mean machine's one-cillinder souped up engine, and zoomed out the competition, winning 1rst place. Now if only her driving instructor appreciated her skills... Peasant: You're my King? I didn't vote for you! The Humble Peasant is the backbone of any feudal society, and he knows that very well. In fact, despite being just an illiterate serf, the Peasant is very politically savvy, and it pains him that no one cares about him, or his fellow farmers. While plowing the field, or digging in dirt, the Peasant constantly thinks how to make his peers' voices heard by the ones in charge. If only there was a system, that would allow anyone, no matter the social standing, to have their chosen representatives, who would form a council, or "Parliament", that would decide about the Kingdom's politics and economy, and everyone would be equal in the eyes of law... Ming Dynasty Warrior: We won't let those Barbarians take over our land, FOR THE EMPEROR!!! The Ming Dynasty Warrior is one of the millions of soldiers in the imperial army of Ming Dynasty. This seasoned fighter was stationed at the Great Wall of China, at the very border of the empire. With his trusty bow, ornate armor, and quiver full of arrows, he is ready to ward off any nomadic tribes of the Western steppes, Whether it be Huns, Mongols, or other threat, he and his numerous brethren are ready to stop them.
  24. Aw Mah Fwacking GAAAAWD! You did it again Robert, these are GLORIOUS! My favourites are The Alien Leader (All Hail!), Space Soldier (the TRON is strong with this one :P), The Ming Warrior, the Sweet Gingerbread Lady, and the Sneaky Guy is sneaky... @Nerd-With-A-Pencil: Dibs on making bios for: Space Soldier, Stowaway, Pixie, Sneaky Guy, Ghost Boy, Caroler Go-Carter, Peasant and Ming Dynasty Warrior! PS: OMG, I Just noticed Go-Carter Bears my Name! Thank you Robert! In that case, I am Obliged to make a bio for her...
  25. Oh, can't wait for the new series, the Gingerbread lady is, well, like her cup says, sweet. :D
