  1. This is a guide for what's the cheapest way to build an army for each Raven, Crocodile, Wolf, Eagle, Gorilla, and Lion. I have wanted to make this for a while and finally got around to it today. (this is based off of prices on amazon on august 17th 2013). I will try to stay away from speedorz as much as possible, since I really don't like them. Raven's The cheapest way to get raven's is to get the Razcal's Double Crosser polybag ($8.87), but just barely, the Rizzo minifigure is for sale without a set for $8.98, the closest set is the Razcal Glider $9.48, all of these options are cheaper to get two than the cheapest set with two ravens (Eris Eagle Interceptor which is $26.56). It all depends if you want a set or not, and how big you want the set to be, counting the number of pieces along with the figure, you would want the Razcal Glider, a full 73 pieces more for less then a dollar more Crocodile's The cheapest crocodile set is Crugs Swamp Jet which is for sale at 6.99, buying 2 of these is about the price of Crawley Claw Ripper which has only one crocodile, but again the polybag's don't have a good price to piece ratio, the Claw Ripper has a much more reasonable ratio. Wolf's Since the wolf's only have a handfull of sets under $20.00 and none of them have 2 figures, this is easy, Winzar's Pack Patrol is $7.70, and winzar as just a minifigute is 2 dollars more expensive, and the next cheapest wolf set is the Ice Tower Speedorz for $11.97 go with the polybag it's the best price for a wolf. Eagle's Because the cheapest set with 2 eagles is $49.95 we have to go single, The cheapest with single eagle is Ewars Acro Fighter which is $9.99 more expensive than the earlier polybags but not 49.95. Gorilla's There are no Gorilla polybag's (yet) so you have to go loose or speedorz. the cheapest loose figure is G'Loona (11.79) but an army of G'Loona's would be a laughing riot you have to either go with Grumlo ($13.89), Gorzan ($14.89), or the Whirling Vines speedorz (14.99), I would go with Grumlo because he is the cheapest but still a warrior. I am not saying you can't go with G'Loona though, she is the cheapest but I wouldn't is all I'm saying. Lion's This was almost a blowout, Lennox loose minifigure is $3.98 but there is 1 left in stock, the next cheapest is Leonidas Jungle Dragster (11.95) which is the only polybag that really isn't worth it at this point the Razcal Glider is only $9.99 so this is a disappointment, it is the cheapest lion set, by 3 cents. the Jungle Gates speedorz is unfortunately the way to go, it's 3 cents more expensive for 51 more pieces, easy choice. Thank you for reading my guide, all feedback is welcome. I wish to offend none with my comments against speedorz or G'Loona.
  2. It would be nice if he was included, but I doubt lego would ever do it, I would guess they would want to keep him exclusive to 9525 for a little while, and as a owner of that set (9525), I would like them to stay true to the "hard to find" figure aspect of that set.
  3. Thanks for the advice FuzzyBallz, I was leaning toward this set, so I'm glad to get conformation.
  4. I'm struggling to decide between 70001 Crawley's Claw Ripper and 70004 Wakz' Pack Tracker, any ideas, I could go either way.
  5. Thanks I'll see if this works when I get my system up and running, I'm converting on old mac mini (2007) so I'll try it when the systems up and running to my liking. Luckily you guy's just happened to mention a program that worked for Ubuntu (the distributer I'm using) so no looking for other similar programs that are compatible with it.
  6. I am getting a linux system soon and I was wondering if anybody knew of a good brick building program for linux? I would appreciate any help, even if there isn't a program.
  7. I love the AT-RT, it's always been a favorite of mine, and this is another great rendition of it. Great build
  8. Here's another old one that I forgot it's 7119 Twin Pod Car from Star Wars LDR File No inaccuracies.
  9. I'm with Leewan on this, but since it is a WIP, it probably won't have the same quality as a finished work, of course you may be going for a blocky effect, and if so, go for it.
  10. Here's 1711 Snow Scooter from the Ice Planet theme LDR File And here is 6814 ice tunnelator again from ice planet LDR File And here's an old set I found that I forgot to upload, 1969 mini robot from Space Police II LDR File No inaccuracies in any of the sets.
  11. 1704-1 ice planet snow grader from ice planet theme. LDR File Inaccuracies: Wrong plow and the back control slope brick is wrong also.
  12. Aww ... I think my heart melted. Thank you I've wanted to see this figure since I learned of this set. And quality isn't an issue on this 10.4.
  13. I can definitely agree with all of those although personally I would die if they made a (and I know this isn't a new idea) a mos eisley cantina.
  14. Tolken I would go with option 2, you get 2 sets from the new wave and finish off the hobbit wave, a win-win in my opinion. But if rounding of the hobbit wave isn't that important to you, I'd go with option 1.
  15. 1.) Arkham Asylum 2.) Sea port battle (iron man 3 set) 3.Lex Lurthor's armor
  16. I would personally keep it the way you have it, it looks cleaner and better, in my opinion, that way.
  17. Here is 6898-1 Ice-sat V from ice planet theme. LDR File I'm going to try to do all of the ice planet sets. No inaccuracies.
  18. Bought the A-wing, AT-RT, and TOR battle pack.
  19. I'll stick with olive green thank you, although I understand where Borex is coming from I don't think the tan would be a improvement at all, I do hope to see hound's tooth next year though.
  20. 3D printers eh, I wonder about copyrighting laws.

  21. I would love to see -Red hood, my favorite batman sidekick -Deadshot -Deathstroke -Blitzkrieg -Calculator -Clayface -The Eraser -Noghtshade -Cyborg - Tweedledee and Tweedledum -Sakio and a new Mr.Freeze.
  22. Hm, could be cool, I'd like to see the series before I draw any conclusions on the sets, an interesting timeframe choice for a show though.
