  1. I couldn't figure it out, then I looked it up and it seemed obvious. Ah well, at least it means I'm semi normal...
  2. The Dwarves' Mine Defender. Love the dwarf's beard!
  3. That's funny! I did something similar. The Clementine People must not like the original too much.
  4. Have a great day Bonaparte! Hope you have a wonderful and LEGO-filled birthday.
  5. Sets like this just don't come around too often do they... I didn't realize exactly how much detail really was in this set. TLC should bring back the monorail! Great review of an amazing classic town set!

    City '09?

    I personally love the Agents sets. They are fun, but they also have great pieces for MOCing. Back on topic, the chicken seller looks great to me. The ketchup and mustard bottles are a nice touch. Shame it doesn't come with more food though...
  7. When I went, they actually didn't let me take for example 3 torsos and 2 heads. They said it had to be a complete minifig which made me a bit frustrated. I would much rather get a few more torsos than silly basketball legs.
  8. My experience is about the same as some of these. When I went to the Mall of America LEGO store this past weekend, I found an old yellow princess Leia slave torso. As well as a nice fleshie female head and fleshie suit torso. What bugged me though, was that they only had those silly spring-loaded basketball legs.
  9. That's true... Anyway, I plan on making a clone army next year when the battle packs come out to match my 35 member droid army, which will also hopefully increase. But until then, I'll wait with my 6 or so clones.
  10. I laughed at this! I love the roasting rebels and all of the other hilarious elements. Nice SNOT as well!
  11. I really would think that with such a classic line like Pirates, TLG would have to release them worldwide. Especially since the original pirates were available in the U.S.
  12. I'll hold off total judgement on these until I see better pics, but my initial reaction is, What the heck are these! It almost looks more like a technic line to me... The figs seem to look decent but the sets themselves just look bad. We'll see I guess. At first I thought Agents looked like crap but now I love it. As of right now, extremely disappointing.
  13. This is a great MOC Basiliscus! It really looks like a well-designed classic town set. I agree with Hinckley, the beds are very nice. The shape of the building is interesting, the angles are good. Well done!
  14. While I think it's nice that you got some more clones, I agree with Skipper that's it's really not good to get them this way, especially now that we know that we will get clone battle packs next year. If too many people start to do this, LEGO may not provide the replacement parts service to those that really need it.
  15. How is that? I think the boxes look nice. The attack shuttle image is a bit odd though... It looks stretched out somehow.
  16. It gets placed on top of This piece.
  17. Dark times in LEGO Castle land... The poor knight is being held prisoner in the skeletons' prison carriage. We must help the brave knight on horseback free him at once. Let's ride! 7092 Skeletons' Prison Carriage Set Info Set Name: 7092 Skeletons' Prison Carriage Theme: Castle Released: 2007 Price: USD 19.99-GBP 14.99-EUR 19.95 Pieces: 193 Minifigs: 5 Animals: 4 Price Per Piece: About 10 cents Review Time! Box shots Our first pic is the front of the box, which shows a dark image of the knight attemping to free the prisoner. And here is the back, showing some features. The Manual The image on the manual is the same as on the box front. Random Manual Shot No piece call-outs, but the color distinction is not a problem. The Parts 193 pieces doesn't seem like a lot, but many of them are quite large. The selection is pretty good. Lots of greys and black. Minifigs With this set comes a whopping 5 minifigs which is amazing for a $20 set. The knights are very nice and one has a double-sided head. The Horses Adding to the already large minifig count are the 4 horses. 3 skeleton horses, and 1 great brown horse for the knight. Extra Parts Now, the finished set! First, we have the brave knight on his brown stallion. The horse's head covering looks very nice. And the knight gets a nice long pointy stick. The main event, the prison carriage! The design of this is excellent. With the bionicle piece and the white horns, it looks very spooky. The Tower This part is one of my favorites. It uses white horns to give it a great creepy look. One problem is that there is barely enough room for the 2 skeletons. The Driver Here you can see the driver and his whip. You can also see the bionicle spine. A side view When you look from the side, you can see the great design of the prison. It is placed on tiles for easy removal and looks great with the round white 1 x 1s on the corners. Horses' Harness This is another very well designed portion of the set. The harness attaches easily to the horses and to the carriage. The Prison Look at the poor imprisoned knight. Let's try to free him! The back of the prison hinges down! The knight is freed! Everything Together All together, the set looks fantastic. The carriage has a great creepy skeleton feel, and getting 9 minifigs is amazing. Brickshelf Folder Ratings Price: 10/10 (193 pieces and 9 figs is fantastic for $20) Parts: 9/10 (Lots of good large pieces) Design: 10/10 (Captures the spooky skeleton look very well) Playability: 8/10 (It's fun to try and free the prisoner and the carriage rolls well) Build: 9/10 (Easy but fun) Minifigs: 10/10 (The sheer amount of figs is great and they look great) Overall: 56/60 The future of LEGO Castle... Summary This is an amazing set for the price. A huge amout of minifigs, combined with a great design and good playabilty makes the set a winner. I would certainly recommend this set to anyone that remotely likes LEGO sets. Thanks, and happy building!
  18. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
  19. Today we will be joining Mr. Brickop and his dog Stud on the tough job of being a police officer. Let's join them now! 5612 Police Officer Set Info Set Name: 5612 Police Officer Theme: City Released: 2008 Price: USD 3.49-GBP 1.99-EUR 2.95 Minifigs: 2 Let's Begin! The Box A very nice small square box with the policeman and his dog on the front. And the back which shows the officer running to the scene of the crime, walkie-talkie in hand. Instruction Manual The back of the manual has the 2008 Police sets and impulse sets pictured. It is interesting that the Good Wizard is on here even though I bought this set in the U.S. On this side you see how to build the model in 8 grueling steps... The Parts Not much out of the ordinary here except for the lovely printed road sign. Minifigs Here are the 2 figs, Stud and Mr. Brickop! They make a great team don't they? Extra Parts This set comes with a surprisingly large amount of extras for such a small set. All Built After it's all built, you get a pretty nice set. The road sign looks nice, but it is a bit strange seeing that arm stick so far out. The little equipment rack is pretty nice. Brickshelf Folder The Ratings Price: 8/10 (Decent price, but could be 50 cents cheaper) Parts: 8/10 (Nothing special except for the road sign which is a big plus) Minifigs: 10/10 (You can't wish for more than 2 in an impulse set!) Overall: 26/30 LEGO S@H Brickset Bricklink Mr. Brickop has finally put LEGOland's most notorious criminal behind bars... Summary This is a great impulse set. Having 2 minifigs really sets it above some of the other ones. The set make a great gift, or a good cheap present to yourself. It is great if you need to expand your police force as well. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks, and happy building!
  20. I meant the piece call outs during the build that show which pieces you need for that step. And Cardinal Brick, I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I cetainly think that this jetski is wonderful.
  21. Amazing work SlyOwl! The way you made the slope like that is fantastic. How do you make the rock stand up straight against the sidways bricks? Do you have that many SNOT bricks? I hope to one day build MOCs as amazing as this one. Until then, I will just drool over yours!
  22. Wow I'm speechless... This is an amazing MOC. The level of detail is fantastic, and the SNOT on the roof is superb. It really looks authentic with the great sluice. Great MOCs like these make my sentences really short and repetitive... Nice work oo7!
  23. Is your knight army feeling short? Do your knights get consistently run over by the skeletons? If so, this is the set for you! 852271 Knights Battle Pack Set Info Set Name: 852271 Knights Battle Pack Theme: Castle Released: 2008 Price: USD 12.99-GBP 6.49-EUR 9.95 Minifigs: 5 It's army building time! Packaging The figs come in a plastic box with a slide out tray. To open, you slide out a tab on the bottom, and pull the tray out. The Weapons One plus of this set is the good weapon selection. You get a whopping 5 shields, a spear, a lance, acrossbow, a pointed lance thing and a lovely chrome sword Minifigures Now the main focus of this set, the figs! One thing that's nice here is that you get a good selection of different knights. The figs are quite nice, with different faces and helmets for almost every one. Minifig Backsides! I really like the archer's quiver. Two sided head The Archer has a scared head on the other side. Brickshelf Folder And now, the ratings! Price: 6/10 (Certainly a bit overpriced. It should have been $10. The Star Wars battle packs have only 1 less fig plus some parts for $5 less) Parts: 8/10 (No bricks, but a nice selection of weapons) Minifigs 9/10 (The figs are great) Overall: 23/30 LEGO S@H Brickset Bricklink Even with a bigger army, the poor knights are no match for modern technology... Summary Even though the pack is a bit overpriced, it is still great for increasing your army's size. I would get this set if you are a Castle fan looking to expand your army, otherwise don't worry if you pass on this set. Thanks, and happy building!
  24. This would look great in LEGO form! Playmobil often seems to have good ideas for sets. I would really like to see something like this in the future.
  25. I was born in Germany and my family and I visit relatives there every year, and when I go there I always like eating strawberry ice cream there, which in German is Erdbeereis. So there you have it!
