  1. alright, thanks! ive fixed the positioning of the building and added the technic connectors. any advice on the actual design tho? the way i have it now feels too plain compared to the others. sorry i dont have pics, ill take some when i get back home (had to get dog food), but are there any like, consistent, signature design elements that you guys feel are important to the look of the series?
  2. okay, im designing my first modular building, a comic shop/arcade with a classic space theme to it. HOWEVER, having never had the money for a modular, i have NO IDEA what it is that makes them have that feeling of quality and all of that. like, i have the proportions down, and the fact that it should be able to split into 3 levels, each one shorter than the last, but other than that im pretty much lost. in short, does anyone here who builds modulars have any tips or advice for a newbie?
  3. you need metalbeard, the metalbeard duel set is great anyway
  4. thanks! that was the one thing bugging me so much about the xl, so i had to figure out a workaround here. only problem is the hips are REALLY weak, but friction joints can fix that, i was just staying as pure as i could to the sets. and yeah, ill try to set up some kind of white box thingie to take pictures in next time. just noticed the canister was off in the first pic, i was trying to find a way to attatch both canisters side by side. didnt work btw.
  5. hey, so i was abe to pick up the xl, the jet, and the stealth mechs yesterday! i decided to try to throw the stealth and the xl together, so this is the result. sorry for the pics, my cam is busted, ill try to get better ones soon. this build can be made using the parts from the aformentioned mech sets, plus 2 extra y-joint parts in the hips. "EVO, ROCKA, COME IN! The auto-builder prototype has been damaged severely, we cannot produce the parts to replace your fallen mechs! you may be able to use it to re-attatch the usable parts of your old mechs into one larger machine, rocka, see if you can fix the machine while evo designs the machine!" first moc posted up here, so give some feedback if you dont mind! i will replace the pictures once i can get better pics, but i may need to rip this one up for parts, so the next pics may have a slightly different build.
  6. no, the xl official combi mode just seems... well it kinda sucks. so i made one of just them. calling it the brawler machine. ill see if i can take a few good pics and post it up.
  7. all three of the ones that they had. built i combi model of the xl and the stealth, may post it up tonight.
  8. my target had the xl, the jet, and the stealth machines in this morning. lets just say thisis the first time since i got back from work 3 hours ago that ive stopped building crap with these new parts! these sets are EPIC!
  9. from what i saw, metalbeards back was constructed pretty differently, he had a few extra chains, a different cannon arm with different connections and a third bit (a scope?), the "ammo wheel" had a dish on the back of it, didnt appear to be on a technic beam, and had black ball joints instead of 1x1 cylinders, a few differences in the flag pole bit, taller legs (by atleast 2 studs), and (this one may have just been me not paying attention) it didnt looklike he had the metal eye patch his set form has.
  10. the rest of the revealed movie sets relese on the 17th. atleast thats what i was told at the lego store yesterday. the one at concord mills in nc already has them in the back room acording to the stocker that was working
  11. stringers boomer machine: large, boombox type sonic cannons slung over the shoulders, trans blue hex shields in place of hands. maybe wings? dunno. also, for some reason i imagine nex would have 4 arms and different tools on each one, being the tech-y guy he is
  12. maybe that big villain is gonna be that weird bad guy we saw at that toy show a while back with the round mask and x shaped visor thing? ill try to find the link EDIT: this guy http://www.flickr.com/photos/26629915@N03/8481691966/sizes/o/in/set-72157632782520895/
  13. how about setting it up as a kind of transforming vesscile, with a air/hover mode to use those wings, a ski mode that doubles as landing gear, and an underwater/space mode with a roof.
  14. it seems like the torso is a bit long, and the chest area looks a little messy, but other than that its a great build
  15. or even better, this would be a great opportunity to have a bionicle and a hero factory character meet without breaking cannon for either one
  16. aw sweet! this will be EPIC! cant wait to see your versions, ive been doing a few of my own too.
  17. im starting to work on a moonbase modual with a mix of galaxy squad blue team and ADU as the theme. just gota get more parts....
  18. i would like to see a "kit up" wave. each hero built as what is now a 10 dollar set, but with a large pice of weaponry that is removable and has some feature (ex, large arm covers that go over the normal ones, with flip out blades.). the biggest hero and villain sets would be armoured mech suits that could be seperated into sections, and have the smaller weapons attatch on to them to upgrade the mechs. ex: furno having shoulder cannons, surge with a big lightning sword, bulk with super arms, and nexwith transforming multi tools, would combine with the hero mech, and boost up the power of the rider, a new guy named "darrek mechina", who has the power to link with machines in universe. villains would be "hakerz", a group who broke into the hf to upgrade themselfs and steal weapons, their mech would be black and red. and their add ons would be something like "scyth, gatling gun, fire arm, ect.", and their defeat in story would have furno and stormer geared up with tons of weapons taken from the mech basicaly sealing their mech shut with them in it. in sets only, the characters can actually combine with the mechs to bulk them up, but not in series.
  19. hey guys, dont know if its news or not, but the manager at my lego store said they are getting the new brain attack sets in on april/may. that seems a bi earlier than usual, but im not sure.
  20. what if its an upgraded version of that drone stormer fought in von nebulas origin? you know, out of spite, von nebula models the heavy hitter villain bot' from the anti factory after the thing that made him go rouge in the first place to taunt stormer. or it could even be the new von nebula, just built up to look like a show version we havnt seen yet.
  21. its just because he is almost exactly the same as black phantom just with different spikes on his head and slightly changed shoulders that physicaly can not be built in set form.
  22. thats the next thing im working on, if only i could get back into the imigur acount and post the last few pics i did... what im thinking is a new piece for a hand, witch would have fingers with every 2 fingers moulded together onto something the size of an exo force arm, a new hand piece with technic axle holes in the middle of them, so that you could use a bar and put 2 together with a standard y-joint and make a big hand using exo force arms as the fingers. still no clue what to use for the thumb though. also, since it would be redundant to draw it out, the one pices would each be made in translucent colors corresponding to the character they are used for, with a separate set of them in standard black included in the larger sets, to reflect a power upgrade that allows the hero core to be charged by kinetic motion in the story.
  23. that is true, but i dont expect it to be good enough for me to upload any time soon. well, maybe once summer vacation starts and i have more time, or maybe a bit before then, but atleast a few months.
  24. yeah, but i didn't for 2 reasons, 1- its not entirely fleshed out yet, i want it to be entirely presentable if and when i put it on cuusoo. and 2- cuusoo is meant to get individual sets released not entire themes, so its highly improbable that suggesting entirely revamping an entire building system would get through, no matter how many votes it has, unfortunatley.
  25. i have a few more drawings done as of now, but i cant get back in to my imigur account and upload them yet. i have weapons, packaging, and a better torso pic done, so hopefully by Friday they will be up.
