  1. Yep, I confirm that statement. I think they just got shipped, because my store was fully stocked with the exclusive sets. Sadly, I didn't have enough money on me to get it that time.
  2. I completely agree with you, I'm going to have to find a regular Mace head...
  3. As others have said before, only an Admin can change user names, and only for a good reason. For example, Ras used to be Ras79 (I think...) but decided to change it. By the way, I don't think it would be a good idea to post name change request here, or Santa might decide to not stuff your stockings...
  4. I was going to say what CopMike said, the interview index. You could also check out the Community index, which has a few links to topics such as "What is you Dream ride?" or "How did you get your title?'. As for me, I'd rather not share any information about me beyond what's on my profile and what I've already posted here. But looking at people's profiles might get you some info, as long as you don't completely stalk people.
  5. Hilarious! After reading that spies actually did that to targets, I always check before hand. What I like: The layers in the middle a nicely done, and the trans-green pieces below are a good addition. The toilet looks good, and like it's from that time period. What could be improved: Some of your pieces seem a little dusty or dirty, I suggest washing them off with warm water, to give your MOC a smoother look. Your musket is a bit beat up, too, perhaps replace it if possible. Other than the condition of your bricks (which is no big deal), you have made a really unique entry, whcih is beyond cruel. Good luck!
  6. Looks good, Hinckley! (Might as well join the "kissass boat") . So much violence! Staff war ON! The only part I think you could improve is the typo where you said "beautiful" woman. I'm pretty sure you meant "hideous". Don't worry, we all make mistakes. EDIT: Sweet mermaid, seriously.
  7. Looks like a good entry so far, King of Every thing. I really like how you've made the skeleton, it looks fantastic. I would perhaps, use more detailed sails, though. I'll look forward to more pics!
  8. It seems I have a need to find all of the entry threads.... thanks.
  9. Yes, hilarious. I really hope they make a LSW video game like this. How the copies would sell...
  10. Thanks for the review, ISC. I have been facing an indecision in getting this set. It's an average to above average set, in my opinion, but I don't have $20 to spare thanks to all of the other great Lego sets I want to get from '08 and '09. This set has some good play features and lots of snakes. The Anubis statues are pretty cool too, and the pearl gold Ark would complete the "Race for the Stolen Treasure" set. I think, if I have enough money after the first wave of 2009, I will get this set.
  11. Looks absolutely amazing so far, I can not wait until you show the finished product. I can see someone in the background of the third pic. By the way, weren't you doing an entry with those animal-people?
  12. By far your best episode yet, CC007! I really like how you represented the battle on the hologram, very clever. Kind of reminded me of my Battlefront days... By the way, when the Commander starts to daydream, the thinking bubble in that pic got cut off. EDIT: Oh, I see, it was a flashback, sorry. Nice custom backpacks, by the way.
  13. Welcome, Bossk! Have a good time, and I look forward to you showcasing your MOCs.
  14. Ah, I missed this topic... but finally! You're making another issue! *Sigh*, nothing like falling for the same trick twice, eh?
  15. Wait, we have to leave constructive feedback in all of them?! Oh, dear...
  16. Ah, this set really looks beautiful. Hopefully all of the anniversary sets are this good. I'm wishing for one set for each episode (annv.). Like I said before, the chrome hilts will be in the limited edition sets, and the pearl silver will replace the bley.
  17. Thanks everyone for the kind words. And thanks, KimT, for the index (it's alright, I know that's what you're here for ).
  18. Oh, wow, that's interesting. Sadly, there was no episode this week (damn playoffs! )
  19. Nice entry, SkinnyBoy. The maniac was done really well, and kind of reminded me of the killer guy from The Simpsons.
  20. Wonderful entry, Talon Karrde! What I like: The action is well-displayed for the most part, and lots of cool things in the action, like the woman with the frying pan and the creepy pirate harassing the maiden (not "cool" in real life). The buildings are also very good. I basically like everything about this MOC, except... What could be improved: The action in the street is a little confusing, I suggest spreading the fighters out a bit more. But this is a small nitpick. I also really like your writing style, good job on that. And good luck!
  21. Good entry, Etzel. What I like: The tower has a very "ruined look to it, good job on that. The rocks and woodwork are also nicely done. The addition of foliage and the climbing pirates only aid your entry. What could be improved: The cruelty part is good for the most part, but I would suggest to add some blood to the the soldier that got shot, and perhaps a body at the bottom. Also, the red roof has areas of black, so I would just make the whole thing red. Other than those things, your good to go. Good luck on the contest.
  22. These new Pirates sets look really cool! I'm definitely getting some of these. Here are my overall thoughts on these (prelim?) pics: 8396 (Imperial Soldier): Of course, a pirate version of the Castle impulse "Knight". A sword, pistol, and musket make up the soldier's weapons, and a backpack, epaulet (shoulder wear), and tall hat (not sure on official name) for his equipment. the blue 1x4s, tan 1x1s, and bley jumper pieces just further sweeten the deal. A truly awesome impulse. Estimated price: $5.00 6239 (Cannon Battle): The soldier, pirate and accessorie are great, especially that new spyglass piece. The cannon is cool, but I'll just take apart the wall for pieces and foliage. Estimated price: $10.00 6240 (Octopus Attack): The raft, crow's nest, pirates, accessories, jewels, and multi-colored parrot all make this set desirable. But what I like most is the dark red octopus, which I don't believe has ever been done in that color. Estimated price: $10.00 6241 (Island Attack): The boat, figs, rare foliage, and jewels are all cool, but the island itself is a huge BURP. I might get it, depending on the price. Estimated price: $10.00-$20.00 6242 (Port Siege): Great figs, buildings, jewels, and a working lift to boot, plus an alligator (which I already have a lot of, probably double that by the end of this year. I like this one the best, although I wonder why there are no blue coats? But the monkey is really cool. Estimated price: $30.00-$40.00 6243 (Blackbeard's Ship): Wonderful figs, a cool net, rowboat, and sails are only some of the very many awesome features that I'm sure this set has. The shark, monkey, and multi-colored parrot are equally cool. My favorite part of this one is the female figs, namely the mermaid on the hull, which TLG could have easily left out, but they most generously didn't. Price Estimate: $50.00-$60.00 So basically, these are all wonderful sets, and I will try to get them all (except perhaps the Island Attack). 2009 is looking amazing.
  23. I think he's talking about the new pearl silver hilts that are included in 2009 sets, instead of bley ones. Chrome lightsaber hilts are still in production, though, since Vader's TIE Advanced comes with one (since it's an anniversary set). I like this solution a lot better, actually. The pearl silver is a good compromise of chrome and bley. Yet, limited edition and special sets will still include chrome hilts.
  24. I voted for Indy, Star Wars, Castle, and Pirates for the ones that I was most excited for, and just Star Wars for modding, and just a bit. By the way, how did you make a poll when you are just a Vassal? Only knights and above have that ability.
  25. BPac, your character is okay now, thanks for changing him. You won't be on the banner (since it's already made), but I'll add you (as well as anyone else that I forgot to add) to the list.
