Very nice work, impressive fishing rig! Lots of other neat details too! I think there are a few too many studs exposed on the vehicle, for my taste at least, but great work with the greebling and engine sections!

Another vehicle with the clean Octan shape - great work! And I really need to get me some of those trans-pink rounds - they look so good!

Thanks! Starting with the back row of the top picture and working our way from left to right: Masa of Kaliphlin (Mike S) or Warlord Masa, Rex (one of my minor characters), empty chair, no one, Gideon. Front row: Aymeri (Little John), empty chair, no one, SarahJoy (whose character name I do not recall at the moment), no one. Gex Marmota (Nice Marmot) is up on the podium with Ageven; he is dean of the University I believe.

I'd like to purchase the Gold Tooth, please.

My sigfig is dark blue. Does that color have to change in category B? Well duh!

Thanks! You should! Thank you! Thanks Windusky!

Thanks! Thank you Graham!

Great idea with the rock arch! The water texture is really good as well. I do think that the rocks would have benefited from being a few less colors. I would have gotten rid of the brown and dark tan - for one thing, it's not usual to see dirt clinging sideways to a rock (at least, in my experience). Great work nonetheless!

I agree - great mist effects! Nice rockwork too.

Another great insect-shaped vehicle! Looks really good and very mobile! Nice work on the pink alien bug as well!

Great lighting! The black, purple, and green go together very well!

Nice little build, the trap is simple but well done! A little less of a straight line on the cutoff might have been nice though. But the olive does a good job of livening it up!

Very nice vehicle, the function is super cool! The binoculars work in there perfectly!

Great use of that floor technique Garmadon, the bed looks really good too! Nice candles!

Yep, not bad! Thanks! Thanks mediumsnowman! Maybe this time he'll actually do something! I actually didn't think about clear bricks... will have to keep that in mind for next time! Wow. Thanks!

Location: H06 Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Building, Civil, Airplane Time to get me a surf board! Hi, A's Surf - how can I help you today? Do you guys rent surf boards? Of course! What size would you be interested in? Hmm... I can probably handle the professional size... You sure? Actually, no. I think I'll take a beginner's. Wise choice! Just a sec... how's this? Yep, that's great! You'll take it then? I believe I will! It'll be $25 a day. I'll do three days, then - here ya go. Have a good time! *kkkzzzcckk* This is John Hannibal, come in Guy. Umm... I know you're on vacation, but we've got a top secret mission for you... To be continued! Another overview: And a few shots of the shop on its own: Had a good deal of fun building this one - C&C welcome! Thanks for looking!

Great work here jaapxaap, especially with the roof and the function! Nice use of dark blue too!

Thanks KlodsBrik! Thank you! Go for it! Interesting tidbit! Thanks for sharing! Now that you mention that about the smoke and flames, I think I actually knew that back there somewhere. But it looks cooler with the smoke anyhow. Thanks!

Thanks Bregir! I think Ageven will be able to hold his own against the DK. One man army, that's what he is! JK.

Thanks Little John! Thanks Bregir! I know what you mean about the studs, but I just felt like adding tiles (besides making them harder to stand up) would have made them a deal too thick!

Introduction: Have you ever dreamed of that moment when your ultimate wish finally comes true as you step out of the shuttle and, reaching down to touch the rocky surface of your destination, finally and irrevocably demolish your childhood impressions of the moon as a blob of Swiss cheese? Yeah, me neither. If you happened to be able to fit inside a LEGO brick, you could come pretty close in this 7467 International Space Station set. But although I’m short, I’m not quite that short. So I’ll stay on the outside, and see if I can bring you a different perspective on the appealing mess of solar panels, extending arms, and moving clips that this set is. Your first look at it comes courtesy of Brickset. Second, a boxed shot from BrickLink. Next I’ll present you with my picture of this seven-paneled, heavily stickered set. Looks pretty technologically advanced. I’d like to see what size those panels would be to scale! Product Details: Name: International Space Station Number: #7467 Theme: Discovery Year: 2003 Pieces: 162 Minifigures: 0 Price: USD $15.00 Source: Brickset Interested in building it yourself? You can download the instructions here! Instructions: Since this is such an old set, and one that was given to me used, I don’t have the box. But I do have the instructions, so never fear, you’re not getting out of all the paperwork! Here’s a random page. The booklet has a nice solar system atmosphere. And the back inside pages. Is anyone else wondering why the minifigure size shuttle gets the same size solar panels as this set? Let’s take a look at the back. It’s rather curiously square, but all in all, the instruction booklet is pretty nice. I mentioned the stickers earlier, and I’ll take the opportunity to state the obvious and say that they are already applied. Only two are missing, to the best of my knowledge (the two sides of the shuttle’s tail fin); I’ll point that out more specifically when we get there. I counted twenty-eight total (sure glad I didn’t have to apply all those myself!). Of those, three at least are STAMPS (STickers Across Multiple PieceS) and two others might be STAMPS if they hadn’t gotten ever so slightly crumpled somewhere along the line. But! There is one piece of printed goodness! Spot me if you can! Build: Below is a shot of the complete parts selection available in this set. I didn’t dare to take the pieces with STAMPS apart but the rest is dismantled. And yes, that’s twenty-four clips (sixteen white 1x1s and four double sided old grey arms). With all the random solar panels and what not sticking out all over, I figured a “barebones” view might help. Next up – remember those twenty-four clips? This thing is insanely poseable. What does I.S.S. stand for, you ask? Well, it might stand for International Space Station, but Insane Series of Solar panels is another good guess. Now a view from the back: Note the chrome plated piece on the end of the metal detector! Now let’s take a good look at the shuttle! For such a small build, it’s really nice. Note the missing tail fin stickers, and the printed nosepiece! Also notice the placing of cones inside a brick with two technic pin holes. If I recall correctly, that would be an “illegal” technique by today’s standards. The technic pin holes are ever so slightly smaller than the size of a stud, I believe. Snap it on the Insane Series of Solar panels and you’re ready to go! Of course, extreme poseability brings problems of its own with it. “Houston, we have a problem!” Important! Smoke and excess flame NOT included in the International Space Station. As for the building experience itself, if you like clipping things together, and if you like mind boggling almost-not-quite mirror image building, you’ll love this. For the rest of us, it’s not bad, as long as you aren’t too concerned about following the instructions in every jot and tittle. Conclusion: So here we are, wrapping up our look at the International Space Station. It’s got a few things going against it; the excessive amount of stickers, the fact that it can easily be inconveniently posed, and (in my opinion) the “old” greys. On the other hand, it is impressively tall, surprisingly sturdy, and includes a very neat little shuttle. So let’s systematize this and see what we’ve got! Playability: 6/10 – Like I said, this thing is pretty well over the top in terms of poseability. But on the other hand, there isn’t really a whole lot to do other than swoosh the little shuttle around. To be sure, swooshing shuttles is sometimes satisfying, but other times you just want to have an all-out battle. So it ranks just above average for me! Design: 8/10 – It is pretty cool, that I’ve got to admit. Also, given the projections sticking out all over the place, the final build is remarkably sturdy and the attachment point for the shuttle is at the perfect spot. Swooshablility: 9/10 – Obviously, you’re not going to be swooshing the station itself around – at least, I hope not! – but when it comes to the shuttle, that thing really can be fun! Price: 9/10 – Let’s just say that if you find this for $15 dollars, it’s a bargain! Right now it is priced at just over $85 dollars new on BrickLink. It has quite a few nifty white pieces, lots of clips which I’m always using and losing, and stands at a satisfying size. Personally, I’m not a fan of the old greys so that counts against it, but otherwise it’s a nice, well priced set… that is, it was. Overall: 8/10 – Well above the average score, this set is aesthetically appealing without completely losing all play value. While I can’t see the seven year olds flocking around it, it seems to be pretty eye catching for slightly older children. And space has always been an intriguing theme! So… we have lift off! Now let’s go and disprove this Swiss cheese thing once and for all! Important! Smoke and excess flame NOT included in the International Space Station.

Very nice build, great landscaping especially with those trees! The way the light plays off the microfigure is really good too!

Very nice little build, I really like the concept here and the use of blue along with the MANTIS color is great!

Great work making the drill retractable! The entire vehicle looks very smooth and has a great Octan feel. Nice pair of trees too!

Really neat transport vehicle! Definitely well deserving of the name elephant!
