  1. Happy birthday, guys! ) My most sincere congratulations! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  2. What does Marxism have to do with a kids game petition, I wonder? As for the topic, having been an on-line games player myself, I suppose it's pretty normal for TLC to stick to their policy. I'm pretty sure that $9.99 is a fair price and won't stop a true LEGO-fan. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  3. Outstanding, Svelte! ) The fort looks great as itself, but the bathroom..... That could make an great MOC as itself, but integrating it into a palace was simply ingenious! As a Penguin I really love how you've done it. it makes me practically feel the chill that's inside it. Looking forward to seeing your next, no doubt, great creation! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  4. A new part is here, ladies and gentlemen! ) Big one this time..... ) Black Canary with necklace as requested by Nute Gunray. Leslie Thompkins and Alfred. Requested by Oky. ) Robin with a new haircut. Looks younger and somewhat reckless. ) Howard Adams. The Penguin's trusted lawyer. ) Poison Ivy's goon. ) The Riddler with a new bowler hat and a cane. The Penguin's new suit! ) I hope you liked that part! ) Any comments, please? ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  5. "Watch out! That zombie is going to eat us!" "Wait.... He seems to be scared by something. But, what is scarier than zombies!?" "CLOWNS!" "Must.... tell.... stupid.... jokes....!" "My brain!!!!" As a well-known clown-hater, I simply couldn't resist posting that small scene, after getting all those clown minifigs and spending a sleepless night full of nightmares! I hope you liked that. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  6. Thanks for the review, TheBrickster! ) While I totally agree that the set looks a bit bare and somewhat incomplete, I still think that it's one of the best sets in the line. It has (at least for me) some really useful parts, a great selection of figures. That sets just beggs to be bought in quantity of two to three to build a Forestmen's hideout. I also have never considered the current line to be 'classic'. I just don't see anything that would indicate that. Perhaps, it's just me. Anyway, the line is pretty promissing and thanks for the review of one of it's best sets again! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  7. Nicely done, ADHO! ) You've really mastered it! Is it me, or those sets look better in LDD than in reality? Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  8. Happy Birthday! ) May this year bring you 28 times more of everything positive. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  9. Ive just realized, people, that there's only one Slytherin uniform in the whole line. What I find pretty annoying. In the old line there was always a cheap set with Draco and Potter on the brooms, and Hippogrif one. But now, it seems that the only torso is found in Hogwarts Express set. The prices on BL will hit the roof. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  10. Thanks a lot! ) I'm glad you liked them. ) It's a painted Brickforge one. Oh, she's hungarian! Right: she looked really slavic-close, so I thought she might have been. ) Actually, you're quite right about the necklace: I'll add it to the figure and show you. Thanks! Thank you very much for your kind words! I hope you'll like the upcoming part as well. ) Thanks a lot! ) With such support I shall, no doubt! ) Thanks a lot, Oky! ) Music Meister is indeed a figure that I could not let down. He's such a great character! Sure I'll add a picture of them in the next part. Thank you. ) Indeed. I doubt, however, that he'll be as popular as HQ, but he is sure to enter the pantheon of villains. ) Thank you very much for your kind words. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  11. I usually collect sets that may fit into a large megapolis. Such as Gotham! In that case the new sets are relatively good, with a bit of modding, the'll fit perfectly. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  12. Happy birthday, guys! ) May this and the following days of the year bring you only joy! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  13. Aw, that's awesome! ) Thanks a lot! ))))) It seems that I look pretty proud of myself, having captured that diamond! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  14. I totally agree with those who say that the second wave is even better than the first one. I can't really express how I love all those details.....) Oh, that lovely classic vampire! Oh the singer, oh the surfer! *faints* Those look great, it seems TLC has found a gold mine with those figs. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  15. Ok, ladies and gentlemen, if that's of some interest..... Today I picked absolutely randomly (I did it deliberately) 40 bags with figs. From differtent boxes, not looking at their place or barcode. That's what I got: 4 Cavemen (I'll use the head for dwarves, I guess.....) 3 Skater boys 3 Divers (nothing special) 2 Cowboys (again nothing special) 3 Clowns ( I hate and fear clowns! ) 4 Dummies (I'll find a use for them, I guess.....) 4 Ninjas 1 Magician (only one!) 4 Robots (which is really cool, since I suppose it's one of the best figs in the line) 3 Indians (I love that face!) 1 Wrestler (I couldn't care less.) 2 Nurses (Which is good, but I'd really love to get at least two more.) 3 Cheerleaders 3 Zombies (yay!) 0 Forestmen (That really disappointed me) 0 Spacemen (I don't care. really, however his head may be useful.) So, as you can see, the random approach worked pretty fine! stay tuned once I get my hands on more random bags! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  16. Looks awesome, ADHO! ) That should have taken much time. But it's been worth that! ) Any new projects on the way? ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  17. Great work as usual, Blue Bard! ) I always love your highly detailed work, done with such care. In fact, it's the details that make a good MOCer an ingenious one. looking forward to seeing your other creations! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  18. Ha-ha-ha-ha! ) So true! I guess every AFOL goes through that. When my nephew was younger, I used to take him with me to toy shops, getting him some small SW set, but bying, say, Batcave for myself! Great work, def! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  19. Another great lot, Jebediahs! Snape is just awesome! Looking forward to seeing more of your great work! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  20. Since there's no proof yet indeed, I wouldn't say that IMDB is unreliable. Time will show, of course. I couldn't resist posting that: Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  21. According to IMDB, there's alao goind to be Robin in the new game: he was listed along with above mentioned chatacters. According to them he's to be voiced by Vincent Martella. I'll remind you, gentlemen, that Robin idea was abandoned for the first game (we were to switch between characters in the game), but as you see he may well appear in the second game. Frankly speaking, I'd love to see Boy Wonder in the game. I suppose the co-op regime will really make the game more "lively", so to say. Still no news about my presence there. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  22. Aha. So that's the one who took my suit! Indeed, some painting or decalling would make the fig look better. However for the purist approach-lovers i guess it's indeed one of the best variants. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  23. Nicely one, indeed! ) Though I'm not a fan of using decals, your characters look really nice. My favourite is perhaps Superman so far. Looking forward to seeing more. ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  24. Several quick thoughts: 1) The pics are perhaps not final, since we have a non-printed book, different hair and dementor capes..... I suppose it's the same thing like with the Kingdoms sets. 2) The minifig selection is simply gorgeous, close-up pics allow to see them in full beauty. 3) What's up with Malfoys' faces? 4) The Borrow doesn't look very impressive, unlike Hogwarts. Strange how you opinion may be changed by seeing sets from different angles. 5) It seems the my favourity McGonagall has old Aunt Mary's face. A huge disappointment for me. I use that face myself for my fig of the professor, but still..... 6) Snape really looked better in OotP Hogwarts. However he'll be good for customizing purposes. 7) We should be grateful to TLC for bringing those awesome sets, no matter how we may not be fully satisfied with this or that. Fans can never be pleased. Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
  25. That is outstanding! ) I remember plaing the first part and the game amazed me by it's graphics and storyline. You did a great job! Your hourglass is indeed very beautiful, but what I like even more is the fountain. It reminded me how great it was to reach it (even during the battle sometimes) in the game. ) And those sand zombies and their overscale weapons are a nice addition. ) Thanks for that amazing MOC! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! )
