The DC minifigs look excellent! That said, I can't help but be disappointed with the Marvel minifigs. I know they're prototypes, but Iron man, The Hulk, etc. all look terrible. Hulk should be an actual minifigure, not what he currently is. Iron man should just have a printed head, not a gigantic oversized helmet. They could use something similar to the power miners crystal creature arms for the hulk, and give him a bulky chest piece. The only decent looking one is Wolverine. I was hoping to get a glimpse at some of the actual sets...

It's about time! bricklink prices for the old batman sets are just insane. Way too expensive... I mean some of the $10 sets go for over $100! That's insane. I guess we will be seeing pictures in the next few days. I, for one, cannot wait.

Simply awesome, very nice editing as well!

Looks like it says "ADF," which I'm guessing stands for "Alien Defense Force."

Wow, absolutely awesome! Very nice work Saint! I really love the 40k universe and you captured this perfectly! I love how you did the side and top turrets, also all the details look really great!

Excellent work thire5! It looks exactly like it does in the game, you captured it perfectly!

Just stunning, such excellent work. I love how you did the fireplace, boy that's a lot of studs! The dark brown roof is so good. Really great work on this!

D9 is an awesome movie and you really made a nice MOC! I love how you did the prawns, they look awesome! The whole dirty / run down look is also really well done. Awesome job on this!

My votes: All around great entries guys! 28) Mexican Entry (Build by Mariko) Hands down the best, awesome job on this! 25) Mexican Entry (Build by Jippon) Perfect home for the Mexican Maraca man! 23) Vampire Entry (Build by Darkblane) I love the use of the nurse from series one!

I really enjoyed the entries guys, here are my votes: 8) Robot & Jungle Explorer Entry (Build by lisqr) This one is great, I love all the mechanical greebles! 10) Robot & Jungle Explorer Entry (Build by Darkblane) I love this one, the portal is awesome! The rooms are incredibly detailed! 12) Diver & Surfer Entry (Build by squiz) Very well built, the wave is awesome, and so is the shark!

Wow! This is so awesome! Mars Mission was one of my favorite space themes, shame they discontinued it I love how you used red in this set, it works so well and really gives it an alien look. The vehicle is also incredibly well designed. I really love the guns The vehicle is also HUGE in terms if this scale, like a moving city! I love how you used the alien transport tubes as well. Overall, excellent diorama!

Good job on this! I love the classic space color scheme and feel, it also looks a lot like an F-302 from Stargate.

This could be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. LEGO is already outrageously expensive, especially in Europe. Considering what you get with the average LEGO set compared to other toys, you're really getting a lot less for the price. Yeah, I know LEGO is a high-quality product, but it is a toy, and it's really just too expensive for most people. To make things worse, LEGO is actually INCREASING prices year after year, with sets becoming more expensive (similar to how they used to be in the late 80's to early 90's, only worse). It could be a bad thing because it could lead to LEGO using more cheap Chinese plastic in their pieces, which would really ruin the LEGO brand for me (just look at the cheaper plastic used in the Collectible minifigures, really disappointing on LEGOs part for not using their higher quality plastic). The good news is more competition = lower prices for consumers. Hopefully that will be without a loss in quality.

Here's my entry. Theme: Town Figure: Disco Dude It is based off the description of Disco Dude on LEGO's website. Disco Dude The Disco Dude has built a time machine to take him back to the 1970's to relive the days when Disco dancing was popular. The unsuspecting dancers are caught by surprise when the Disco Dude's time machine suddenly appears right on the dance floor! Here it is: Another Angle: Close up: Brickshelf (when public)

Here's my Entry for the contest. This is the first contest I've ever participated in so I hope I've done everything correctly. The minifigures I chose for this interaction are the Pharaoh and the Spaceman in an ancient Egyptian tomb. Overview: Tomb Interior: Closeup of the Spaceman's spaceship: Backstory: Earth was decimated by war by its inhabitants many millennia ago. The ensuing conflict devastated the planet's environment and made it uninhabitable. Some Humans fled into the stars, where they journeyed to a new solar system to start anew. Thousands of years have passed since Earth has been abandoned aside from the occasional bandits who land on the surface looking for anything of value in the wreckage. Meanwhile, on one of the many planets colonized by the Humans who managed to escape Earth, a spaceman finds a curious map hidden within an artifact that has been passed down in his family for generations. The map marks a location on Earth, a location that supposedly hides a vast riches all for the taking! With this knowledge in hand, the astronaut leaves on an adventure back to Earth using his small and nimble spaceship. Landing on the surface in the ruins of Ancient Egypt, which has remained largely intact, the spaceman discovers a hidden entrance to the underground tomb using the map. After journeying through catacombs for hours he eventually comes upon a giant chamber containing a hoard of treasure; gold, diamonds, jewels and other valuables are all his for the taking! However, unbeknownst to the Spaceman, something else is lurking inside the tomb. The Pharaoh has awoken and opened his sarcophagus, and he's not about to let the Spaceman leave with his treasure!

I got this set a few days ago. It's definitely one of my favorites, I like the look of the set, the designer really did a nice job. It should definitely be priced at $30 though. Most of the pieces are tiny and there are no minifigures included. This set really did not have to cost $40 and is not worth it. Like others have said, I'll probably pick up a few more when the price goes down because I like it so much.

Wow, this is awesome! Really an excellent way to display the mini figs, and I can tell you put a lot of work into it! :thumbup:

Very unique design, and you captured it quite well. It's a very strange looking boat, but in a good way. Nice work!

It's actually not, It's kinda hard to tell, but it's actually dark bley not dark blue. I just picked 3 colors that looked good together (Dark bley, Red, White). I thought that the wings looked really bare without any markings, so I had to add a little something to make it look better. Thanks everyone for commenting!

I picked up 5892 Sonic Boom a few days ago. This is by far one of my favorite LEGO purchases ever! I would say that this is the best airplane TLG has ever released! Yesterday I decided I was going to make a military version of the set. At first I made a complete copy but in Bley / Dark Grey. I wasn't satisfied so I decided to pretty much revamp the plane itself completely. I've made a lot of adjustments, including making completely different wings. I also added large flaps on the wings to make it more realistic. Though I made a lot of changes, the basic structure of the plane still exists. The pictures aren't very good, but it's the best I could do without proper lighting.

Wow, it's hard to describe how awesome this is! So much detail on the inside and outside! Really wonderful creation you've made Dragonov! I love how you used that boat hull as the bottom of the plane. There are so many excellent details on the inside such as the beds and bathroom. You really did an outstanding job on this! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Actually I originally had a blue windscreen from the Galactic Enforcer beforehand, but decided to switch it to the clear one from Slave 1 as soon as I got it. I think it's around 2,000, though I can't be certain. I agree with the drop doors thing, I didn't originally intend the ship to be a troop transport, I just kinda modified it as I was building. It was difficult to make a good boarding ramp at the back of the ship, so I just decided to use doors on the sides. Thank you for the kind comments everyone, I really appreciate it

Very nice and accurate JSF! I really wish TLG's official versions looked like this, it looks a lot more accurate than their version!

Just awesome! So many colorful details, I love the way you did the J V at the top of the display! I love all of the unique pieces you used to make the sea weeds / coral, it really makes this look awesome against the blue background! I like how accurate you made it as well, great work!

This is a Troop / Cargo / Ground/Space Attack vessel I made a couple months ago. I named it the Beluga because it is similar in shape and is almost completely white. It has two powerful front facing cannons for attacking ground targets. It descends from planetary orbit using it's bottom thrusters to slow it's descent. Once on the battlefield, it deploys boarding ramps and gunners inside the ship use the side turrets to lay down covering fire as the troops disembark. The troop carrier brings 14 elite assault troops into battle, but has the capacity to carry more troops, or additional cargo if necessary. It also has the capacity to board and attack enemy capital ships. I was planning on putting more detail onto the side of the engines, but never found time to do it. Overall view.
