LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 12 Rumours and Discussion
8BrickMario replied to Rufus's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I went to a Target and TRU, and neither had Series 12. TRU had them last week, but they ran out and apparently have no backstock until they get a new shipment. I went to my town's Walgreens, however, and I found the wonderful Battle Goddess, and the Dino Tracker. The goddess is great, since she fits with the Ocean King and Medusa. And if you have Spinlyn, she could represent Arachne. It's interesting how similar her hair is to Wonder Woman's. Athena's is a little less tight, though. The skirt is very annoying, but I can live with it.- 1,109 replies

Exactly how I found her! I am seriously itching for the Wizard and Goddess, who I'll be getting tomorrow. I can't decide what I should get for a third!- 1,109 replies

For Spooky, a critical point is that her hairpiece will squish since it's rubber. The shape isn't even necessary.- 1,109 replies

MOD: Spooky Girl's Haunt
8BrickMario replied to 8BrickMario's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Oh, thank you! I actually just put some things together and adjusted for space, but I'm glad it turned out well. When I look at it, I truly believe I would soil my pants at every single detail in the house. I would be terrified in real life, but in LEGO, it's just so fun! Here's some more... I changed up the study with a new creature on the premises. This barrel looks ordinary... Huh? Well, what do you know? A zombie barrel! The barrel "mechanism" consists of the head, the barrel, a dark tan Technic axle w/stud, the 2x2 brown plate for the cartoonish balanced lid, and a 2x4 plate with holes. The short length of the axle does not allow for a creative disguise, since the zombie won't go up all the way if I add something to the end of the axle. It works best if the plate isn't fully attached, since that can cause the pin to push the barrel off of the plate rather than the lid and zombie out of the barrel. As I couldn't change the floor structure without hours of pain, anguish, and frustration, I just added this platform secured by plates on the top and underside. "What is this?" "UURRRGH! AAH!" "Remarkable how weak rotten flesh is..." "How utterly pointless. I should be going now." -

It would be best in Brick Yellow/tan. That would be more platinum than Cool Yellow, and White would be too much. I seriously hope it changes. That purple snowflake piece should really be trans-blue. -

I would love it if he had a campy banana company uniform. The set seems to be the silliest one just by the premise and title, so it would be great to see a ridiculous uniform. -
I love the Haunted House set, but its interior couldn't be more boring to me. It looked less haunted than dilapidated due to heavier exterior focus. So when I got the Spooky Girl minifigure, I was inspired to spice it up a little, with inspiration from all things Halloween. The exterior hasn't changed much, It looks much worse, though, since the rickety old house is as fragile in the bricks as it looks in design. I left the weaker parts broken, though, since it fit the theme. You'll notice the hanging cage, with the design, function, and prisoner all taken from the Dol Guldur Battle set. The fireplace on the left was taken from The Burrow and modified. The front entrance has a guardian statue holding the key. Who's that in the window? Spooky, like many girls, wanted a pony when she was little. For the cage, you just pull out this pin... And the cage drops down, with its widely gapped bars releasing the (thrown-in, not attached) phantom. The photo here was taken exactly how and where it landed after falling out of the cage, with the side door providing reference. The fireplace serves as an escape for the phantom, who goes up in flames and disappears! For those who didn't know, the platform and wall tip the minifigure out the back of the fireplace when the side handle is turned. The green flames on the underside of the platform when tilted represented the Floo magic in the Harry Potter set. The interior overview. The foyer has two imposing suits of armor. One seems to be impaled. And the other likes to move. The kitchen is bland but gloomy. I don't want to know who's in the corner! The den has a rotting writing desk, a gramophone, and a bust. But that bust is not what it seems to be, as it likes to turn and frighten guests! The bedroom has a four-poster canopy bed where Scare Bear sits during the day. She has a creepy clock, and a table with an antique phone and a lamp. Some pictures showing the build of the phone. It's a headlight brick with a grey round tile on the front for the dial. A black clip attatches to the square hole, and it holds the phone with two studs on the ends. The attic is where things get quite bizarre. Everyone has skeletons in their closet, although someone needs to tell Spooky that she's being too literal! This thing is inspired by a startling animatronic Halloween prop; a ! (I obviously couldn't do the "hidden" pose, but I could replicate the scare!) The spider web hides a gruesome ribcage. This jack-in-the-box looks fairly harmless... BOO! Meet Jack. He likes to pop out early in "Pop goes the Psycho", since it gives a more effective scare when victims are bracing themselves for the end. I thought this was a perfect use of Krazi's head. Also, the freakiest thing in this house! Look at those methods of hurting! It can rotate on a turntable and hinge downward at the waist. The trapdoor has been repurposed. Spooky rests on the studs at the end (her skirt would prevent her bottom leg holes from attaching without them)... And pops down for a scare! It's nice to even leave her like this, it looks like she's hanging from the ceiling. I had a lot of fun with this! It was a fun process coming up with unique ideas for the remodeling, and I like it a lot more with my creepy furnishings and denizens. What do you think?

Usually not before they're set out. I think all Minifigures have the same number, and you just have to wait for the old ones to be gone completely.- 1,109 replies

What's especially inexcusable about the Swashbuckler's chest is that it isn't a white-on-red problem. This is yellow printed on white! WHY is it discolored?!?- 1,109 replies

He means to say he's upset about the lack of a PC version, and that there's no excuse this time. -
I know. We'll have to wait for the official images...I'm glad I saved some pictures for once.

Main characters would lower set sales, since there would be no incentive to get that exclusive Hawkman minifigure. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 12 Rumours and Discussion
8BrickMario replied to Rufus's topic in Special LEGO Themes
This is what I found at my TRU: The packets of the minifigures I found! There was another man who asked me "if I found the goth girl", so I was racing to find the Spooky Girl before he could. She was in a pile of minifigures he had already searched, and she was the last one I checked. And here they are! I like both of them a lot. I experimented with different pieces to give them. For the Genie Girl, the first thing I did was try out the Intergalactic Girl's face on her (suggested as a solution to the wink). And it's fine, but I don't prefer it. It just doesn't feel right for the character. I then put on some legs. And just for fun, I gave her the Starlet's dress. It looks surprisingly good on her! For Spooky, I tried out some hair that makes her look more like Wednesday: I like these two a lot, and it's fun to try these parts out on them. I highly recommend them.- 1,109 replies

Don't trust the box dramatizations. It looks like a trans-red dish attached to a gold wheel. It does not look like it would shoot. If it did, the dish would be shown shooting out, not a laser from it. I doubt Toxikita is a placeholder, they never switch out entire characters, nor developed vehicles. Personally, I like that she's back, but I can understand why others would want someone different, especially since we only have five sets so far. Is anyone else excited about the sand blue curved slope bricks in the spider walker?

Hey, until the gorgeous fence parts make it into mainstream sets- get these! There are some great parts, unique hair colors, and scenarios. There are even a couple of Friends sets that interest me- and I am firmly in the group of sets that are not at all girly. Have you seen SilentMode? He didn't care about his Friends consumption!

I noticed that, too. It's probably how the Agents will capture Toxikita. I like that the canister made it into a System set. I just noticed that the metallic silver bug legs are attached to a metallic silver hand/claw piece, which is new in this color. This piece, in shiny silver!

"Solomon Blaze" (i.e., Pigbrick) over there wants us to find it. I would recommend looking at every single line on the stickers. And dig deep into spy pop culture. I'm baffled so far.

I didn't notice that. I was waiting for that part to carry over from Legend Beasts, though. Nice eye (pun not intended)!
