Me gusta! Looks like the Clone Commando has them as well. Wonder if the previous small blasters are being canceled. Guess I will be buying multiple packs and trading the Bomb Squad troopers for ARF troopers. Mando pack has a tri-pod mounted cannon, gun turret and small speeder. That is pretty sweet!

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but is the Mando holding new blasters? They look too short to be a normal blaster and the blaster pistol doesn't have a scope.

I think the literal translation of your MOC is New Rules from Brick Forge. It's a nice MOC nonetheless.

Thanks for the comments everyone! lightningtiger - I can put two 1x1 round trans light blue plates on the piece connecting the side rails for the roll bars/luggage rack. I tired some other configurations for just extra lights on the front end, but haven't liked any results so far. If I think of anything, I will try to post it. amity498 - I guess rally cars kind of do resemble safari cars since, well, they are off road vehicles. prateek - Thanks. I like them in black (especially since I don't have clean white clips).

Hit the road and the trails in the new Small Car - Rally Sport Edition! Like many of you, I knew I had to get the 3177 Small Car set when prelim pics were posted. I got it several months ago, built it, and set it on the shelf for a long time. The other day I was looking at it and just had an itch to turn it into something a bit different. So, here is my take on a Rally Sport Edition. I tried to cram in every feasible car detail that I could think of: Side mirrors Windshield wipers Halogen rally style headlights Reverse lights Brake lights Fuel tank cap Antenna Solar panel pack Removable luggage rack Tow ball Towing cable & winch Spoiler Display/gauge panel Interior speakers The interior also boasts increased storage to fit more luggage and gear. Not counting all the accessories & SNOT, it's only 1 stud longer. Ideally, I would have loved to add a black right hand side door to the rear for an actual open third door, but I don't have the part. I am pleased with the outcome but will most likely continue to tinker with the idea and model. Wish I had more parts or another set to do side-by-side shots. Comments and Critiques are welcome. Enjoy!:

Thanks for the thorough review! This set is tempting me to purchase multiple copies. Perhaps one for Advent and them some more if they go on sale after Christmas.

Not sure it's worth the postage. Do you have anything else?

Not exactly what I was hoping for. Can't wait to see pics.

The collectible minifig series is really cool, though I tend to like the accessories a bit more than the minifigs themselves. It would make sense for TLC to reuse the new accessories molds to continue to produce the new accessories in future sets and in more colors. I'd love to have the Nurse's hair and Caveman's hair/beard combo in many colors along with many other pieces. Do you think TLC will continue to use these molds? Or would that 'ruin' part of the collectible aspect of the collectible minifigs series? Let me know what you think.

I am completely hoping NinjaGo is Power Rangers/Ultraman/Kaiju/Godzilla. Would totally love stylized weapons, helmets and armored vs giant monsters.

A quick search will show you that I posted a link to the Crystal Master awhile back. I guess I was inspired by both the Crystal Master and the Gormiti Kolossus. And actually a little bit of kaiju.

Thanks for the comments everyone! MantaMan - true that the upper legs are similar, but I used a ball joint instead of a click hinge for the ankle/lower leg and completely changed the feet. More posable and nowhere as goofy/clunky looking as the Crystal King's feet. Carbohydrates - I thought about doing this except he would have normal shorter hands, one bladed/clawed upper arm and one hammer/club/boulder upper arm.

I have a spaceman and crash test dummy. What do you have for trade?

The Crystal King has been dethroned. A mighty usurper now rules the underground kingdom with four clawed fists. Can anyone or anything ever defeat this deadly new nemesis? Here's my take on a four-armed rock monster. The Crystal King was looking kind of wimpy, so I thought his days as the king were at an end. Not too terribly sure I like the sword and horn fingers, but I haven't figured out what to replace them with. Also wouldn't mind replacing the black robot arm fingers with either dark bley or pearl light bley (all I had on hand was black). Please comment and critique: Folder when moderated

Dupe post, please delete.

Yuuuussss with a double fist pump! That sets looks great! Will for sure be getting a couple of these. Now I want a Santa Clause type Collectible minifig.

Heart. Pretty neat ideas. Makes me want to work on a few impulse set ideas.

Check out my Bricklink store for some of those SW minifigs you want. Also, I have 10 newer Hoth Rebel Troopers with no legs if you are interested in those.

All three of my Knights' Showdown sets have pink torsos and the Prison Tower Rescue had pink barding while the 20$ (lion tower) had a nice white torso.

1. Do you buy sets like the Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal because you view them as amazing ‘parts packs’? NO 2. Do you only buy specific models in the line because of individual appeal or do you collect the whole series because you appreciate the theme? Whole 3. What would you like to see as the next World Icon? Not interested. 4. What particular ultimate set beyond World Icons would you like to see? I'm all about the castle theme. As for a castle UCS, I'd LOVE to see one. Going the 10188 Death Star route, I'd love to see a huge castle with detailed interiors and a sound, defensible structure. Going the 10193 MMV route, I'd love to see a grand tournament with a stone entry gate, stands, jousting wall, practice equipment, and loads of accessories and minifigs including civilians, royalty, and knights & squires with barded & armored horses from factions exclusive to the set. 5. The rest of your input not answered above! Would completely love to see a steampunk theme. Also, more civilian castle sets.

Here are some of the staffs I have come up with: Wizards & Staffs Brickshelf Folder

I have one out of 3 Prison Carriage Rescue sets. It's flat silver. Compared it to my flat silver KKII/Viking sword and the colors match. Even Bricklink has it listed as an alternate for the pearl light grey sword in the Prison Rescue Carraige Set: (Scroll to the bottom): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3847&in=S

This post: Got me to thinking about what I use for a wizard staff. I have a few designs of my own, but would love to see what anyone else may have to offer. Here are the pieces I use to make wizard staffs: Actual staff piece: Head piece: + Magic/power piece: I could go through Bricklink and make and exhaustive list, but I would rather see what y'all can come up with. Feel free to post pics (which I may do as well).

Also another one that hasn't done yet that I would love to see would be a Boar or a Ram faction:
