posades

I'm not sure why everyone is so up in arms over the potential switch to LEGO Kingdoms; like someone earlier mentioned, this would allow TLG to make sets based on many different "kingdoms" from the past like Vikings, Ninjas, etc. without having to make subthemes (which I'm not against but apparently LEGO is).

I was thinking about getting a PS3 Slim now that my 360 stopped working (not RROD, something else happened which would require me paying $100 which I don't intend on doing ), but now that you mention this I'm a little worried. Do you know how common of a problem this is? And the Wii might not have Little Big Planet or Halo but it does have Mario, and doesn't seniority usually rule?

Yeah they do look more like rays, perhaps something got lost in translation and that's what they originally meant?

By new design don't they just mean the newer, darker gold version that has been out a for a bit now? I can't see them making another version, unless it's a small change that most people won't notice.

Those are great impulses pedro, certainly something I would buy if they were actual sets! I love the crab droid set the most as well, really well done. The one minor complaint I have with the droid are the pincers. They look somewhat "bulky" to me; I personally would have gone with something a bit more slim, like this: (the only problem being it doesn't come in red-brown ) Great job though, it's remarkable the amount of detail you were able to put in the mini ISD.

A chicken coop was actually going to be my next MOC but I'm sure a LEGO produced one would be much better. Perhaps they could release something along the lines of Rolling Acres Ranch, or maybe a farmhouse and more elaborate horse stable.

That new head on the diver would be a perfect sig-fig head for me, just please make it in black! Like others have said I'm really warming up to the figures in this theme, but the vehicles and the one set so far have been really underwhelming. I'll probably pass on most of the sets unless I see an impulse I like (and try to get the figs for a decent price on Bricklink).

That airport is underwhelming for me, just doesn't have that classic airport feel to it; like others have said most airports aren't just one building, they should have spread it out some and added a few more details most all airports have (baggage claim, metal detector, etc.). However I do like the girl minifig (is that a new head?). The pig tractor is awesome, I'm just afraid TLG will try to charge us an exorbitant price just because there are 4 pigs which I'm sure will be sold for a decent amount on Bricklink.

Yeah my bad, that's the tentative date for the first episode of Season 6 (final season ) to air in the US. I'm hoping to eventually collect all the seasons on DVD, but now that they are coming out on Bluray as well I'm kind of torn on whether I should upgrade or just keep on going with the DVDs.

The first episode in the US will air January 21st, 2010 I believe (which is a Thursday, 9/8C). So we still have some time...

Not seeing all the ruckus over the sharkmen, didn't we already have something like that from the Harry Potter line? (may be a new piece though, I didn't get a chance to see the pics).

Nope, that's the new double faced head that the Jester comes with in the Drawbridge Defense set.

Is this a permanent discontinuation or just an "on hold" thing? With the rumblings of LEGO discontinuing Castle and Pirates, it's hard to foresee what new themes they can come up with to replace these seemingly well off franchises. It's a shame really, Pirates never really had a chance to flesh out their set list with new factions.

I have to agree Dark Blue is a great song; my roommate recommended them to me and so far it's a welcome change of pace from what I usually listen to.

I know I'm bumping but I added a few things; mainly looking for cash now, will be listing some of my sets and pieces on Bricklink if nobody wants them here.

By other sources do you mean xwingyoda and Brick Horizon? I'd really like them to make at least 2 or 3 new sets for '10, but like others I won't be completely devastated if they take a year off (as long as they keep producing and selling the current Castle sets on S@H).

Welcome Leah, hope you find some useful information here and perhaps inspiration as well, I know I have.

Ordered my second Bricklink order this month and also got my other one I ordered earlier (can't say the same for one I ordered in July ). I keep telling myself these small $10 orders aren't too bad, but they do add up quickly I've noticed.

+1 to ADHO15 please, got my items I ordered from his "store" here in great condition and pretty fast too considering it was traveling halfway across the world!

I agree with the other posters here, the light really puts this MOC over the edge in terms of mood. It has a certain "real world" feel about it, and the details you built into the hut only make it better. Good job!

I'm with you Darth Legolas on this, you have more guts than me since I would be afraid of melting and catching on fire. Great job on the photography, love the "snow" on the helmet and the little details like the sword being stuck in the ground.

Signed, sealed and hopefully delivered. I'm not seeing the reasoning here by TLG, it's not too late for them to change their minds though.

Maybe they couldn't decide on whether to put it on the left or right side so they compromised. And Big Cam, that's exactly what I was thinking. Looks too Transformers-ey to me, and not in a good way. I'm not a big fan of all the blocky geometry on the front, but to each their own I guess.

Happy Birthday VBBN and everyone else! Hope you guys get what you were hoping for.

A small Bricklink order (around $8) to start setting up my next MOC...
