Kai NRG

Nice job! (though I sure can't find the ninja!).

Yes, I noticed that after taking the pictures (of course ). Thanks!

Since my previous post was deleated, I suppose I'll have to ask again, I'd like to improve on my reviewing and photography skills and I meet the three set requirement, could I be allowed to join the Academy? Thanks.

Is there any place in Historica that my Sigfig really should see? I'm almost done with my next large free-build/story; he's in Ondylion right now ( ), I figured that (besides hitting all the guild capitals and several other cities), I should probably see if there was any other stop that simply had to be toured. Preferably one there is a good bit of knowledge about.

Well, Titanium-metallic is even better; that way I'll have both kinds! Anyway, yes, I have Samurai X, so I don't think building the 2012 Lord Garmadon would be hard at all.

Yes, the Bounty is nice (a friend of mine has it), but I also want the Dark tan the temple has, and besides, I could re-create the same garmadon with the pieces I have + the new version (unless he has a different suit entirely). Plus, the Temple is cheaper.

Well, I guess I'll follow suit now that I have some time: 70500 Kai's Fire Robot: I love this one, although the antennae on the head look a bit odd to me, in general though . Especially with that stone warrior - although I really wish we had gotten those amazing shields like in the show and red crossbows. :hmf_bad: 70501 Samurai Bike: Well, maybe it's just me, but seems like LEGO just started slapping pieces together on this one. Or maybe the real problem is that it doesn't even have very many useful pieces either. 70502 Cole's Power Drill: While I agree it is a bit boxy, I really think it's not that bad - boxy seems to me like a good style for Cole. In general though, it doesn't stand out to me. At any rate, this one seems to have much more useful pieces. I can see those round gold 4x4 plates coming in handy. I would prefer no sand green for the model itself, but those pieces look like they might be useful someday. 70503 Golden Dragon: I really wish LEGO had used the other head. This one just looks to solid for a flying dragon. And I wish the ball were dark green rather than lime. Other than that, it's pretty neat. Lloyd looks great in the new suit (or presumably it's Lloyd), although he does look like he could stand in the museum without anyone noticing. Probably the weirdest thing about this set is that it comes with the Dragon Sword of Fire. How, in all of Ninjago, did that happen?! 70504 Garmatron: Another Ed and Edna creation (or worse than that!); it looks to me like it really wouldn't roll hardly at all. I don't like the lime here either (or on the Stone Army torsos for that matter), and the hole in the middle for the missile really looks wacko. 70505 Temple of Light: I never was really such a fan of the Fire temple, but this one really doesn't look stellar; what I really like is the tan/dark tan. It is nice that it includes Lord Garmadon; he's virtually the only main character I'm missing. It seems to me like Wu's suit is different, maybe with some more gold? but it's hard to tell. Personally, I like Kai's Robot and the Temple of Light. Depending on how much I end up with, I might get the Dragon or Drill (or maybe the bike; I like Jay's Kimono), but other than that, I'll be saving for the Lone Ranger.

I personally like the smallest police set and the tan in the museum is nice too (plus a light up brick). Other than that. . . I'm not interested in Fire.

Thanks! And thanks for the idea!

Thanks! Glad you like the fence desigh!

It may not be 100% confirmed, but (like teabox said), he has green on his costume, Kimono Lloyd appears only in an Encyclopedia (and it would be very strange if the show highlight dod not come in any of the sets, although it would make sense for him to come in two), plus a Japanese retailer listed him as one of the minifigures in the Golden Dragon/Temple of Light. I agree with horizon that the Temple of Light is not very nice at all architecturally (although I do know a non-ninjago fan who is interested in all the "Final Battle" sets), althoguh I don't really like the mech too much either (gold and white? Why not some other color?), but what I want are the pieces more than anything (dark tan! ) (and the minifigs too, I guess). I was really hoping we would get a returned-to-good Lord Garmadon, but with the advent of Misako, I'm starting to wonder if he will turn good at all.

I don't think so. Don't you think it would be a bit unfair (unless Valario were to start off with 1000 or something)? But since Mikey's still part of Avalonia, why whould he get a place in two scoring guilds? Anyway, Congrats (now I'm going to re-read that story. . .)

Just as a side note, while I did go ahead and create a group, I have 201 photos and they are all showing on my photostream. Maybe that will change once I hit 202, but I thought it was interesting. . .

I would

Most of those sound pretty cool, especially a Comanche Camp - teepee please!

I personally like the new stone warriors a lot better than the snakes but the two vehicles (the Samurai Bike and Garmatron) really look odd. Kai's Robot is awesome (although it does look like it could use a head), and I also really like the Temple of light (not that it's really so cool, but I like the tan). Isn't it really strange that the Golden Dragon would have the sword of fire? That was supposed to be gone, I thought. . . and I wish they had used the other Dragon head mold as well.

Nice work, especially with the gatehouse in back!

Yeah, it's gone now. (I'm pretty sure I wasn't dreaming though. . . )

With EB down, I had plenty of time to finsh this up: Jay is spraypainting the fence, while Sensei stands close to spot any mistakes. . . Nya is churning butter, while a mouse prepares to enjoy a bit of cheese - but he might not be left in peace! Of course, the pigs aren't supposed to get in with the horses - but every once and a while, they escape even Zane's Falcon Eye. . . And naturally, Kai had to end up with the dirty job! Any feedback is apreciated! More pictures on my Flickr.

Great job (as I have said before ), very much in the power miners style. (I actually can't see the photos, but I saw the one on your Flickr.)

My entry to the 8x8 catagory (click-picture-topic) (not the main picture but my favorite): Edit: Maybe I have to include the main photo. And since the limit is three, I can do both right? Here it is:

The terrible snakes have stolen the Golden Shurikens of Ice, and only Zane can use his spinjitzu to retrieve them! But the Constrictai aren't about to give it up without a fight! Adn they have enshrined the weapon high atop their walls! Building a tornado took me quite a while, but I actually ended up likeing the design! C&C are welcome! Edit: Knew I forgot something: More pictures on my Flickr!

(I'm tempted to say, Mikey, I predict you will win. . . but anyways,) Would the guild leaders mind giving us the names of a few runner-ups when the post the winner again? (More specificaly, would you mind telling me how close far I was?)

Here is my entry to the 8x8 catagory (clicking on the picture will take you to the topic): Edit: And my 16x16 entry: On re-reading the rules, my first impression was one in each size catagory, but was I wrong? Here is my 16x16 entry!
