It took me some time too to figure that out (see what I did there ).

I like it already. Keep up the good work.

Great mini-scale work.

Awesomeness with a pearl gold finish.

I agree. Also, an orange filter is what I would use for infra-red vision. EDIT: New picture!

Nice, just as detailed as the other one.

As the original name was thought to be Polar Xxpress, I'm guessing it's like Ice Planet 2.0.

Well, at least this means space is returning in 2013. I hope it's like Ice Planet.

Do you mean the good ones or the bad ones (Ugokins)? Have you seen both versions of the Ugokins?

While I've been wanting a purple hero from the release of the 2.0 system, I don't see the connection with the slugs. Anyway, I'm skeptical, and will be until we see pics.

Actually, the trans-purple snakes are available in Spitta's spinner. Great review though!

Let's hope that isn't true. And I don't think there won't be any spinners in 2013. Ninjago is based on the spinner concept.

He means years before, from Life on Mars to Mars mission.

Sadly, the fanbase for Lego SW is much larger than for most of it's original themes (not counting City) combined.

Here's hoping they turn that around and in the future will only produce LEGO's own themes. Ninjago has proven that it's possible to do that and make it a succes. I mean, Ninjago was more of a succes than SW, which has been LEGO's big seller for years.

Actually, the space marine armor is identical to that of the Galaxy Patrol Minifigure, only in red. He made it like that to reduce the amount of necessary new parts.

Awesome team, awesome landscape and awesome rover! I love it!

I would go for Core Hunter and either Stringer or Voltix. Both of these combinations (especially CH-Voltix) allow you to get most of the new/recolored parts. Bulk comes with less interesting pieces, but has a lot of old pieces compared to other sets in the summer line.

I agree. That's just Thunder's profile.

I know. But one can dream...

Nice.

The torso makes up for any flaws it may have, and the sawblade makes it just plain awesome.

I hope that HF continues. Although, couldn't the Villain Factory concept easily include the Empire of Frost and Rampant Oceans storylines as places where the Heroes search for the VF?

I love it! Good job with the propulsion "arms" and I love the shaping of the nose. It doesn't look too shabby from the bottom either.

Awesome mecha!
