    Canadian Eh?

    Where in Indigo are they?
  2. 10205 Black Locomotive Theme: Trains LXF File No errors in this, I don't think, and all the part numbers are correct too.
  3. Fantastic pics my friend! I like the magazine rack thing you've made. I might have to borrow it later
  4. Awesome job so far LT, especially since you aren't very used to this kind of building. I understand your dilemma too. Roofs are the hardest things to decide upon when building a building like this. But, since you've already made a pitched roof, I think you should try a flat one.
  5. Great review as always MB, but in all honesty I think you're being way too easy on this set. I don't think this is worth $25, nor do I think it's a good model, but I do respect your opinion. This set does have some great figures though, I'll give them that.
  6. Why hello there everyone and welcome to my review of 30015 Jet Ski. I got this at TRU in the USA, and since I can’t find a review of it here, I thought I might as well do one. Let's get on to the review. Name: 30015 Jet Ski Theme: City Released: 2011 Pieces: 24 Price: $3.99 USD Brickset Bricklink Polybag: The front features the regular: Set number, part count, picture, etc. The set is displayed in the water, with a harbour in the background. Nothing too exciting but it gets the job done. The back features warnings and an advertisement for Lego club. Instructions: The instructions are printed on a sheet of glossy paper, as to be expected in a polybag. No colour issues, and there are no part numbers. Pieces: This set includes 24 pieces, none of which are great, but are all useful. We have some white, black and lime green, which is always welcome. The life jackets are also nice pieces to have. Minifigs: The highlight of this set is definitely the minifigs. There are two figs, a male and a female. The female has a brown pony tail, blue pants, and the white tank top that first appeared a couple years ago. The male has the new "classic" hair mold in orange, grey pants, and a very interesting new torso print I've never seen before. It looks like a scuba diving suit/a wet suit. Very nice indeed. Both figures have back printing. Model: After a couple minutes of building, we have our completed jet ski. It looks very nice in white and lime green, with a black stripe running down the whole side. Very snazzy looking if you ask me. The handle bars are made with an Exo-Force robot arm, which is a great alternative to a BD arm. The only problem with this, as you might be able to see, is that the driver can only stand in one position while holding the bars, with no movement possible. There is also space on the back for a second figure. The only other problem I have with this is its size. Compared to the boat in the Lighthouse set, this thing is huge! Final thoughts: Despite the few drawbacks, I think this is one of the best polybags we've seen in a long time. The model is decent, but we get 2 (!) figs. Ratings: Playability: 8/10 It's a jet ski, and with two figures, you can play as much as you want. Very swooshable. -2 points for the fact that you can't move the driver once he's holding the bars, which makes it kinda hard to remove him. Design: 9/10 Looks great with the colour scheme for the small piece count and price. Could be a bit smaller though. Price: 9/10 Could've been $3.49 like other polybags, but with two figures, 50 cents extra is worth it. Minifigures: 10/10 Two figures! A female, and a male with a cool new wet suit! Parts: 7/10 Nothing too exciting, but a nice selection overall. Overall: 43/50 Thanks for reading my review of 30015 Jet Ski!
  7. You could also check Crave, which is a great place for Transformers, SW figures, and soon Lego!
  8. Great review. This car is definitely worth the $20. I think the whole My Own Train line was nice, but this is really cool.
  9. Oh, baby, this is what I call a scene set. This set is amazing. It has two distinct sides, with a nice middle too If you don't mind me asking, how much was this beauty?
  10. ZO6 pretty much sums this up pretty well. Yay classic Bionicle! I really loved the Nuvas, but my favourite line was the Rahkshi.
  11. I agree. And 22kane, I think the Space Police would be the best IMO.
  12. This set is quite interesting if you ask me. The set itself is great, but the price is what kills it. Honestly, I think it should be $20.
  13. Great review. I really like this set, along with all the other SPIII sets. I regret not getting any of the sets though. Hopefully I can find some reasonably priced ones later
  14. Great review! I think these clocks are really nice. I see that TRU has a sale on Lego clocks, so I might pick one up!
  15. What an awesome free set. Best free set in a while I'd say It even comes with binoculars to stick on the end of the gun to make it even more badass!
  16. Great. This is a peculiar set to rate IMO. For the American price, it's fantastic, but otherwise it's just average. Above Average for me
  17. Fantastic. I really wish TRU used these for their promo a few weeks ago instead of the Skeleton Chopper. This looks much cooler.
  18. All hail Phred, the mighty pickle leader!
  19. Happy birthday Legostein and others!
  20. Ayyy, congrats buddy!
  21. Who else has noticed the Squidman running in the background among the civilians on the back of the Alien Defender box
  22. If you already own a copy of this set, sell it, but if not, keep it. You could always sell it later once the value goes even higher
  23. To be honest, I actually do think they overuse cheese. I can never find enough places to use them on MOCs, so they just take up space for me. I think ZO6 really sums it up well.
