INDEXED *yoda* strikes again with another review (what am I going to do when there will be no more sets to review loool) � the city gas station. Like the Train station, I think that this set has a small town feel which I think is great. This set has 2 instruction manuals & 2 DSS (I think its a mistake since we only need 1) 1/Mfs and Vehicles I think that 3 Mfs is quite disappointing in a 35� set: 2 civilians (one with the space jacket again hehe) and a classic Octan worker blue jumpsuit. The yellow car is nothing spectacular � just a neat little car. The only thing that needs to be pointed out is that there is an extra plate on the rear weels (to have the rear 1 plate higher than the front � to give it a little hot rod feel). Its great to have a black bike. I already have 1, so I put the racing stickers on it. 2/Gas Station Its really a neat station with a lot of sweet details !! Its funny to remark that the actual set�s instructions differ from the booklet art (I let you look at the changes hehe). I shall start with general views of that station. Now lets focus on details. *car wash* Thats my favorite detail of this set. The 2 brushes are hold together with an elastic band which help them to �close� on the vehicle. There is a nice light to tell you when the was is over hehe. The two rotors that serve as heaters can move with the handle. I will finish with the roof that comprises the two nice stickers and opening �windows�. *shop* Yeay, another shop !! The great feture is on its left, there is a distributing machine (that holds 5 trans dark cones !!). The shop is neat from the exterior with its 4 lights, 2 windows and a door + bottles stands in front of it !! *gas pumps* The system to operate those pumps is quite weird: you need to turn the gas handle on the right, then go and put the nozzle in the car and let have that black gold flowing !! And if you mess up, there is a place for cleaning hehe. The roof is quite nice with the Octan colours and the huge Octan Logo tht turns. There are 4 glasses to let the light throw and 2 lights for the evening craves lool. Finally, there is the sides: flowers, barriers and the price list. Lets keep that gas pumping for our Mfs supped up vehicles hehe !! So until next review, I say Cheers Mates !! *yoda*

Here you go ;-) Enjoy !! *yoda*

Excellent idea Athos !! I really like the fact that you used greek mythology - I always was a great fan of that !! So its only normal that my answer was a definite YES !! Greek mythology is great for playability and better for kid's culture (rather than emprisonning some horrendous jellybean martians :-D ). I would have emphasize a lot more on the Trojan War (that lasted more than 10 years after all) with sets from the beginning (the story of th golden apple or Helen's future demise hehe - a classic set to give us female MFs *wub* in togas lool), several sets on the war itself + several sets to illustrate Ulysses's return (cyclops anyone, fantastic ship as well !!) + a tale of Ithaque revenge *wub* Greece On !! *yoda*

LOoooL, thats a neat and hysterical one Athos :-D ;-) Now I do understand why there is a police force and a brand new garbage truck in Lego City :-P *yoda*

And the answer is NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Since thusrday was a holyday, those darn drivers do not deliver today nor tomorrow >:-( The worst part is that the driver took the goods to France, but darn French workers do not work !! It will sit on French soil until monday at least now !! Here you can really scream "blame the French" :-D Patience On !! And CM, you know there are elevators in the tower :-P (in real and in the set hehe) *yoda*

I do agree, the barding looks pretty nasty on those Skelorse (G I invented a word :-D ). Also its not a natural fit, you have to push to have it fit properly ;-) No problemo, will post those tomorrow ;-) *yoda*

Exactly :-P I think he refers to the UK show "Doctor Who" :-D :-P If not I have no idea whatsoever !! *yoda*

I wish loooool :-P But the answer is a definite NO !! Can't buy them all hehe Only those darn legs move |-/ Tks, I do wonder where did I get that pic :-P ;-) *yoda*

Pardon me ?? Care to explain yourself ? (and I do strongly suggest that you do). *yoda*

I chose the airport lady n

Till when the contest is open ? Anyhow I'll try to post my entry tomorrow or thusrday ;-) Car Building On !! *yoda*

I disagree with you here for the following reason: those parts can be nice to use for other MOCs and the stickers are plain ugly IMO. But I do agree that the stickers are a apin to place (I really despise putting those horrendous stickers >:-( ). Exactly !! I really would love to know the price increase to have those small printed parts |-/ Not that much I guess. Stickers OFF !! *yoda*

only the cokpit can open to let the Mf in, but nothing else opens !! No printed tiles whatsoever unfortunatly (I wanted those round tiles to be printed |-/ ) - and what you see is what you get, meaning No cockpit at all !! Good that its the aliens ship hehe !! And so ?? *yoda*

I do keep my fingers crossed because tomorrow is suppose to be the day when my baby arrives 8-

Its already here !! G whats wrong with belgians today :-D Is it the Eurovision effect ?? X-D I suggest you comment faster on that review :-P *yoda*

Yes my spacemen, the dropship for me is the ultimate motherload of that line. For an affordable price (40

Hey buddy, I really wish you a happy Bday !! I hope you'll read these lines but be assured that you are really missed !! Vader and I often talk about you. I hope everything is fine with you !! Have a great day and I sincerely hope to see you soon !! *yoda*

My space fans, you really should blame Sne for me doing the reviews of those Mars Mission sets (oh boy how I hate Sne right now :-D :-P ). Anyhow, that Space sub needed some novelty hehe so I shall shoot that review to Mars and above !! I am very pleased by this set (12€) – it really looks great and has a neat colour pattern (more on that later). Like always here are pics of the book and DSS (G, this theme has loads of darn stickers – as you can see, I didn’t use 100% of the stickers – I didn’t use the cokpit one). For once I shall comment a bit on the box art. Look at that neat MM Logo, doesn’t it ring a brell to CS fans ? 1/The Mfs I am SO pissed off at TLC for producing those UGLY and CRAP aliens. G what were they thinking. At least the old Life On Mars sets had fun looking aliens that ressembled some comics one, here it just plain ugly. Viewing it from a certain distance and lying on the capsule thingy it looks more or less OK. However,when you zoom in, you just get sick by this ugly jelly. Yuk !! The Mf comprises 2 parts: legs and the rest (torso + non moving arms + head). I will stop on that before beeing too rude... At least the human MF makes up for it: he is really nice and I love that gilden visor. The torso is printed ob both sides with great designs. It great to see that the head is a baklava, nice. 2/ The Trike I love the design of that beast and the colour scheme is just perfect. Its exactly the colour scheme that I am using for the Team Odysseus project and I do have a feeling that there are no coincidences !! Face it, how many space MOCs do you have in White/Orange ?? Not that many for sure. I like the general design with the huge orange wheels. I like also that the rear whell is attach on both sides and not to one like the older trike. Look some comparison pics: the new trike is meaner and bigger, yeay !! Its normal since it has a rear alien prison or vacum as I love to call it. Yeay I know I'm missing the cokpit on that old trike (I just couldn't find it this morning :-| :-P ) The cokpit looks great in orange !! Design wise its on a moving platform which makes it sleeker. Behind there are two guns and a green diamond hehe. As I said, there is the vacum on the rear. I have a problem with that thing: once the alien capsule is in, it moves like hell in there. So kim if you swoosh it, the capsule is history !! I left the sticker on that one because I think its funny. I shall finish with the huge wheels !! You should definitly buy that mean machine !! Aliens beware, you shall be harvested in no time !! Eradication On !! *yoda*

Oh not at all, far from it ;-) I love your reviews, they are really well done and funny, so please use me/ *yoda* in them :-D Don't forget to post the link hehe !! And I do agree with you guys, there is a serious lack of females in those sets (I'm not asking for females truck drivers and what have you) but civilians or cshiers (...) |-/ Oh well, yippy, Exo Force has a female now, that makes my day :-| *yoda*

OK here are the requested pics ;-) Oh Alex, I trotally agree with you !! It also makes them bulkier |-/ *yoda*

Wait till the Mars Mission reviews tomorrow :-P And I d agree with you regarding 7897 & 4513: they are way too modern !! I love the classic fel of that one ;-) *yoda*

He did, what did you expect :-P ? After all that looooog retreat on his swamp he neede to have a little sun on the roof to get a tan (or in his case a dark green :-D ). Somehow I deleted the right pic :-D Oh well, I will add that one tomorrow !! *yoda*
