Could the guy with the white mustache be an older Johnny Thunder?

So I bought a nice big box of assorted Lego, a number of sets that are incomplete. However, the one set that caught my eye while sorting (7773 Tiger Shark Attack) is almost all there. I've never really been that into Lego other than Bionicle but that set seems really great. The pieces missing are all rather critical and pretty specific to this set. A past search on these boards led me to Bricklink so it seems relatively easy to complete the shark and sub. Is there way to go about searching and comparing and buying without having to pay a mountain for various shippings? Each individual piece doesn't seem expensive but just cursory searching (just 2-3 pieces out of a needed 25+) shows that the parts will be spread across a number of sites. After figuring the time I'll have to spend going between various sites that have various parts and the money I'll have to spend on multiple shipments, it's a pretty decent investment. Is there an easier way to cross reference parts needed across these different source rather than typing in one piece at a time? -j

This past weekend, I scored a big box of assorted Legos for $8. It's been ages since I've bought anything (other than Bionicle) and my parents were a bit too cheap/poor to opt for Legos anyway when I was a kid. There were a couple of booklets included (Dino Attack 7475, Boba Fet's ship 6209, Visorak Battle Ram 8757) as well as some obvious Megablocks. As I started to sort through the box, I noticed there was an Aquazone set (Tiger Shark Attack 773) and have been busily pulling pieces out for that while sorting everything else by color. There doesn't seem to a complete set in this whole slew of bricks, just based on what I've seen while sorting. I've found what seems like most of a Spongebob set (Krusty Krab 3825-1) and a number of unidentifiable-by-me pieces. Does anybody have any suggestions as to go about getting some broad part identification? Specifically there are printed bricks that are definitely from one theme/set or another but it's all Greek to me. Thanks, -j

I can't type how happy I am to see that you'll be posting instructions. I've shown your Sonic to a few Bionicle-hating Lego fans and they all want to build one! You rule. -j

Where did the tan Toa Metru chest piece come from? I really love your creation and am making plans to attempt to build one of my own.
