    All right, I usually avoid pluralizing it, I don't know why I did. Maybe it's because I hear it in speech a lot. Thanks for correcting me, Fives!

    They may redo him in olive green, since they have the color now.

    That was the teaser of the sets, I believe. Don't know where that can be found, though.

    When you involve women who don't quite understand LEGO yet, that's bound to happen. It does look good on display, but I always have to put my LEGOs away when family friends, little kids included, come over!

    ^ Well, they're high-schoolers who are learning to drive and pilot, so they're sure to wreck some parts of the city. It's LEGO, so the lazy little minidolls can watch us rebuild after their accidents without an apology! And if they got hurt (taken apart), I'd probably leave the Friends in pieces and rebuild an unfortunate minifigure who got on the boat! (to some unsafe fate, I'm sure) I think the Friends would be just as careless if it were the Shark Cruiser! "Yeeees, Maya. Suuuuure it's safe to go on the slide..." Basically, what I'm trying to say, as a guy, is that the sets are good, with concepts that are far better than City, but I'd wind up giving the minidolls to some little girl who appreciates them. Long live minifigs!

    You're very welcome! Maybe later you can get the Council for a win-win? I am always happy to provide an opinion on sets, and the great thing about LEGO is that most of the sets are great, so either option would work out well.
  7. 8BrickMario
    I'd recommend that. It comes with the most interesting Gandalf made, Aragorn in Gondor armor, and the Mouth of Sauron ( ) and if you don't have any. two Orcs, as well as Gwaihir the Eagle, and the excellent Gate. I don't have it yet, but I want it the most.

    We can be assured that the Titan will come soon. Maybe :LEGO is being kind to our wallets by releasing it later, so we can get the Creeper, the Crawler, and the CLS-89 beforehand.

    Saruman will be pleased. Very pleased.

    Peters arms aren't as angled and are thicker than Andrew's:

    Your Bag-end reminds me of all the sets to buy this year. Tolkien, Star Wars, Galaxy Squad, Castle, The Lone Ranger, Super Heroes... (to anyone: feel free to use my explodey, but please give me credit!)
  12. 8BrickMario
    Oh, I forgot about that!

    Since Just2good's being modest and not self-promoting, I'll promote him! His review of the Council:
  14. 8BrickMario
    Oh. I came on later than that was posted!
  15. 8BrickMario
    Let's stop talking about scale, please. And Brickdoctor, there was no previous mention of a Star Destroyer.

    I don't know what I like better about DM, the room with the goblet and cheese used as cheese, or the potion room behind the spider web...

    Great review, but one thing: the skis were introduced in Series 2 Minifigures, with the Skier, and later used on the Downhill Skier from Series 8, and also the Advent Calendar.
  18. 8BrickMario
    I have lost a whole lot of respect for YCF. Switching to J2G and BrickQueen from now on!

    The misinformation in that review almost made me cry. "Palace?" "Lion Tribe" and the mixing-up of who's on what side. Pathetic. And I still don't know if the carriage roof is designed to come off for play inside!

    Ah, the lengths I went to for Hulk... I had to trade here on EB for him. I don't consider the exclusivity ruined, since who wants a minifig with a hole through its head?
  21. 8BrickMario
    Yep, Hulky's got a mildly angry face and a "HULK SMASH!" face. I'm not trying to be mean, but I do find it to be laughable (and quite odd) when the owner of a minifigure doesn't realize that it has a double-sided head. When it's rolling around in or outside of the bag pre-assembly, that's pretty hard to miss! No offense intended.

    I love this model! The new version is certainly different, but I can't formulate an opinion on which I prefer. The theater mask sign (which would have to be a sticker-ugh) is great, and I love the backdrop. I believe I have supported the Travelling Theatre, but if not, it's of to CUUSOO I go! EDIT: Supported! If any two of the many props were preserved if made by LEGO, I would want it to be the conical headdress, because we haven't seen it in close to a decade, and the Luminara headdress, which is a piece I personally like. Good luck! I don't know who will be happier if it reaches 10,000- you or me! This is one of the best things on CUUSOO, and if it succeeds, it will be well deserved.

    There's a tutorial on keychain removal in the "Website and Forums" board, in the "Tutorials" pinned topic. If I didn't get the Hulk before, it would be easy to give him the hair. I've got quite a few Harry Potters lying around.
  24. 8BrickMario
    Yeah, the products are viewed individually.
  25. 8BrickMario
    Thanks for the review! It looks pretty nice...
