    A small independent outlet called... ...Amazon I got them a good week or two back. You hadn't thought to check?

    I love the Greco-Roman senate commando look. The additional printing fixes the rather under designed original versions. One criticism: the captain should have a different helmet mold, it's a shame lego couldn't spring for that, especially as we won't get another chance to get this obscure figure

    Like the naboo star fighter we don't get a choice: lego will just keep making them I must have owned at least 2...and they were both awful. It's not a great design and lego seem determined not to try. Bricklink will provide me the figures...

    Set is crying out for some smooth surfaces, some stickers or even some inexplicable blue highlights that lego usually finds a way to include... My concern has always been 'have lego had enough time to design these sets?', I fear we have our answer
  5. TheBrickHitHouse
    Yikes, that's horrible. It's the Twilight set again and no one remembers that set all that favourably. Bricklink will have to do for the figures...

    You'll be pleased to hear that, despite the misaligned leg printing shown on the box art, Harley's actual printing is fine.

    Jokerland is terrific! Rarely have I felt that I've got so much content from one set.i had been worried that, out on display, the set would look a bit 'bity' and disjointed - but assembled that's not the case at all. Surprised Lego achieved so much with what isn't a huge piece count. Great set...and there's a batmobile too...

    On paper - yes, it's terrible. Rhino doesn't even have a unique face (it's the stormtrooper face) and I have literally never heard of 'iron spider'... But I have that set before me...and I don't hate it. I actually like its play features, am delighted with the new legs for Spider-Man, Sandman's design (as if emerging from the sand) works well and the Rhino mech is a welcome addition to my collection. Sometimes a set is better than the sum of its parts (or price...) I tend to buy every set and often - overall - you're getting value for money, even if individual sets aren't. For instance, Carnage + Sandman/Rhino for £57 isn't terrible - 7 unique figures after all. Plenty of £60 sets have given me far less, even with more bricks.

    Think the Carnage set is a real gift from lego to the fans. Lego could have just slapped a basic Carnage figure in any crappy set to make us buy it - but instead gave us a excellent design (printed arms!), a new Spider-Man (finally!) and a Shield trooper along with a nice little vehicle and even a Shield sticker for MOCs - all for a very low price. So many Marvel/DC sets have been dreadful and this set felt like I was getting an 'apology' of sorts. Think this wave of Marvel/DC sets is easily the best.

    And collectively the audience said 'thank goodness' Vision is so goofy one wonders if his inclusion (and 'festive') colour scheme where some one's attempt at irony...

    Delighted to finally get ASM Electro, thought that wasn't going to happen owing to lego's seemingly forgetting to release the polybag!
  12. TheBrickHitHouse
    Will we keep getting sith infiltrators and naboo star fighters until we pay lego to stop?! We don't get Episode 2 sets but reissues of weak Episode 1 vehicles appear mandatory at this stage...
  13. TheBrickHitHouse
    Set is much more accurate in person than the pictures suggested. Really starting to appreciate the excellent box art too.
  14. TheBrickHitHouse
    Finally! Electro's gone from £70 to £7 on bricklink in one month! I'd love to know the story behind this set - why is it being released now? Why did a few come out before?
  15. TheBrickHitHouse
    How did you build the set with, seemingly, not a fingerprint on it! I find my sets come out of the box with a certain amount of 'dust' on them!
  16. TheBrickHitHouse
    Anyone having any issues with the power functions? Lights work fine but the blades spin for a bit, and not that smoothly, and then grind to a halt after which the motor just seems to die: switching it on/off doesn't cause the blades to spin. If I then disconnect the motor and try again I get the same effect: blades spin for a few seconds then the motor just dies. I thought maybe there was excess friction but the blades work fine being operated manually and I rebuilt the gear system too. Hmm.
  17. TheBrickHitHouse
    Yep, I had to recreate the 'I'll see you in hell!' scene too...

    In a delightful touch, the freezer has been set up so you can actually fit a minifig (jasper) in there (in place of the sticker). Made me chuckle...

    It's the level of detail that floors me, a licensed set with the mindset of those great Creator sets. I think it displays much better than the Simpsons house which, from the outside, is a bit drab
  20. TheBrickHitHouse
    Milhouse hated being Fallout Boy ('I've said the words 'jimini jelikers' so many times, the words have lost all meaning!'). Also, it's not a tattoo on Groundskeeper Willies arm, that's hair. Weirdly, collectible minifigs rarely have backprinting, an irritation...
  21. TheBrickHitHouse
    Are these instructions still up for grabs?
  22. TheBrickHitHouse
    I think we'll see sets out mid May as usual. With TFA sets to come, Lego will want a reasonable gap
  23. TheBrickHitHouse
    Oh! Wonderful! It's perfect! The details make it worthy of one of those magnificent Creator town sets. Going to have one hell of a lot of stickers, probably a new record! Love the second wave of collectible figures - Smithers with the new Malibu Stacey is a genius move
  24. TheBrickHitHouse
    It's unforgiveably lazy. The designers can hardly claim they were giving it their all - and when you don't even need to come up with an original design either...
  25. TheBrickHitHouse
    Damn...that hydra fortress set is laughable. Looks like even lego agreed, hence the inclusion of hulk...again
