Look good but the boots are very high, I wonder if Lego will make some lower boots one day.

Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
SMC replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
So are Ultra Agents and they got a whole line? -
^ I think if they had done a new line the change would be ok as an update but just making one fig that doesn't really fit in with the others seems a bit odd.

Best Place to Live When it Comes to Buying Lego?
SMC replied to Deathleech's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wow 60080 Spaceport has just shown up on shop at home at £69.99 when it is $119.99 + Tax in the US, 60092 Deep Sea Submarine is £24.99 or $39.99. Now these are the two sets with the biggest gap but still nice to see for those of us in the UK. I am guess that even though the spaceport is why over priced in the US these thing have a way of working themselves out, less people will buy it and it will easier to get on sale. In the UK we have higher prices than some but more sales, likewise I think these high priced sets in the US will be easy to find on sale. -
I wouldn't worry about the disappointment, I think it is mostly aimed at the sets that missed out some of which were very good. I also wouldn't be surprised if the ideas set did sell out if they only make one run.

^ But it would have been nice for a yellow fig to be play by someone non white.

Well the seasons over and just looked at the table and the winner is ME FA cup final today pizza, beer, building the sea cow paid for by some fantasy football winning from a work league. Can it get better, well yes with an arsenal win.

Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
SMC replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
^ I agree that green goblin doesn't really fit you can see the junior in him unlike the other junior sets we have got, the other figures are really poor and even yellow. The parts are not usful but still I will get it. -
^ You could be right and it does not brother me this time anyway but I really wanted Bizzaro.
-
Its odd that Lego don't include the main figure we don't with the dvd like Bizarro and Cheetah.
-
Very disappointed, ideas had a great line up of sets this round. The Natural History Museum seemed to be a good test to see if any large set would ever be made and it was a no. Next up Minas Tirith and Jurassic Park I would have loved both of these but again looks like making sets for existing licenses is not going to happen. The Labyrinth Marble Maze was good but I'm not excited like I would have been for one of the above.
-
Can someone tell me how many parts are glow in the dark or do they just look like they are?
-
Seems like almost every year there is an anniversary of some kind. Edit I meant like a special one.
-
The only thing I have to add about competing lines like space and star wars, LOTR and castle is that we have had agents and super heroes which really surprised me.

Unfortunately I cant really comment on this topic because: I have repeatedly asked Peppermint_M to change her post but cant get a response. I am talking about it in this topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99550&st=100#entry2226521

^ I was thinking the same thing without even knowing some people have done this.
-
Yep I think its fair to say they have missed the classic space boat from the Lego movie .

Eurobricks structure, moderating, member involvement and more
SMC replied to SMC's topic in Forum Information and Help
Hi all sorry for opening an old topic that had died by itself, I think this topic was a good example that topics don't need to be closed and that they will disappear by themselves. I am happy to say I have not seen many topics unnecessary closed recently but what I have seen is some topics that have been killed by moderation. The problem is that it is hard to talk about without giving examples and I didn't want to use this topic to complain about people that are helping the site by moderating in their free time. But at the same time moderators are there for us, to help make the site a better place to be by stopping people being rude to each other and so on. So I do now have an example that I feel I can use. http://www.eurobrick...25#entry2225491 This topic was brought to an halt by Peppermint_M posting this This topic was not closed but has not been posted in since. I PM Peppermint_M and said: Peppermint_M did not change the post or reply but has been active on the site since. Now I understand that sometimes as this topic has shown a conversation can go around in a circle with people saying the same thing trying to get there point across and it’s not the funniest thing to read. But I have seen moderators moderate with their personal options rather than to uphold the rules of the site. Should a topic like this be killed by a moderator because they don't like the conversation? Should a member be named by a moderator unless they have broken the rules? Now moving on to something that could be more positive, we have talked about this before in this topic but topics like, Marvel Super Heroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion, DC Super Heroes 2015 Rumors & Discussions, LEGO Hobbit 2014 all have posts every few days about what is on topic what is not, can we do this should we do that. My suggestion would be that for each currant Lego line there is a pinned open topic started by a moderator where people can take about anything to do with that line even if it’s just chit chat because there is no news. The topics first post should be regularly updated by the moderator with confirmed news and set information and pictures. People like coming on this site to talk about their favourite line and it would be nice if there was a main place to just chat, if people want more constrained topics they are free to open them with the rules in the first post. It would also be good for moderators have a wider function for the good of the site, they have to read the main pages anyway to moderate them so why not use them to update news and info on the first page. This would also stop the rush to be the first person the open a new topic about a new line because only a moderator would start these pinned topics. It would also make sure moderators would be active and seen to be doing something positive. Just my thoughts, I do think the site has not been very proactive in changing and improving. BTW: I PM Peppermint_M to say I was posting this and reported my own post for moderation. -
One: did Lord of the rings impact castle that much we had the 2013 castle sets out at the same time as LOTR, maybe it lowered the age they were aimed out but we don't know. Two: we don't know if there will be a new castle line and if there is what it will be. But I do agree people (for the most part) are not 'hating' but being realistic. I think its very unlikely we will get more sets but not as an likely as it was a few months ago.

Well the box gives the game away "boat does not float" no wonder there are so many wrecks.

Marvel Superheroes 2015 Rumors & Discussion
SMC replied to CorneliusMurdock's topic in LEGO Licensed
The set is great but they should have added a micro antman, I was sure they were going to. -
'Decommissioned February' sounds like they are going to stop selling it, I am guess they stop making it long before then so what happened in February, nothing.
-
^ I don't agree because Lego figures are the same height, weight and so on so a colourless world would seems to fit. Virtruvius should have been yellow simple.
-
NO they are not and they have not been for some time, ideas sets don't get made over and over they can sometimes only get on run that does not mean lego print limited on all the boxes. Its clear what happened because of how Lego have handled ideas sets in the past people know that they might have to be quick to get this set we were even told so by the designer though websites like brickset. So at first the set sold extremely well and Lego thought ok we need to make more and they did. But it turns out that because of the warnings the people that wanted the set brought it already and now Lego have lots left over. So Lego thought it worked the first time why not tell people its on its way out again and people might buy a second. In fact look at brickset Stock level in EU, start of march they had none and we were told it would be gone in February so how come by the end of march they had 5000?

I agree after all the series we have had it is best to slow down and also try something new/different.
