I see tons of printed parts and pieces in new colors! For Orient Bazaar, those perfume pieces look useful, as well as the trans-orange jewels (much better than the trans-neon orange ones)! Meteor Strike doesn't seem that interesting, but I do like those 2 x 2 tiles with classic space logos and a red/blue border. The Technic skeleton of the set looks pretty ugly though with all those different colors. Atlantis Treasure comes with tons of dark blue plates and printed tiles - plus, there's some 2 x 2 jumper plates in blue! I'm definitely going to have to get Hogwarts Challenge! There's 9 microfigs, five of which are main characters, and it's a Harry Potter board game! I've loved the LEGO Games sets ever since they came out, so I'm definitely excited about these! I haven't even purchased a single set from the series yet, though. Thanks, The Cobra and whung! I'm eager to find out how each game is played.

You've made another jaw-dropping MOC, Jasper! It's truly a sight to behold. I love every part of it, especially the beautiful sweet shop interior (tons of stuff packed into there without a overwhelming feel)! Neat floor patterns and furniture, too! I'll be eagerly awaiting your next fantastic creation! P.S. I would recommend getting a Flickr account. It gives you a chance of getting blogged at TBB for all of your amazing creations, and you'll get loads of comments on your individual photos as well as getting comments here!

What a stunning MOC! :oh: You really packed tons of detail into it, and I love how you made it seem like a video game! No wonder why you won first place. Thanks for taking your time to provide us with this interesting look into your MOC, and enjoy your free Battle of Alamut!

Congratulations Peppermint! I bet you'll do well in your new position (and it's about time we got a moderator/regulator in the Action Themes forum )! I recall PMing her about her promotion about 4 hours ago (according to the time stamp on your post).

What a cool MOC! The AT-ST is great (can it fit any minifigs inside?), and the foliage looks very natural! Neat border surrounding the perimeter of the MOC, too. I see you are the creator of the stunning UCS Millennium Falcon interior. I love your work!

Boy, this was a tough vote! There were lots of varieties of market stalls, and it was difficult to narrow my choices down to 3. This is who I'm voting for: 1 point to pedro's Dhurban Indoor Bazaar 1 point to Inconspicuous' Al's One-Stop Convenience Stall 1 point to LegoLyon's Dr. Acbar's Travelling Medicine Stall Good luck to all who entered!

It was much easier to choose which entries to vote for in this category than in the first one. My votes go to: 2 points to pedro's Karaban ~ The Sand-cloud City 1 point to Bricknave's Scorpion Sweeper Good luck everyone!

Ha, nice one - it looks really accurate at this scale! Any chance of a back view? If you're thinking of making more Portal MOCs, I would love to see a turret in its "searching" mode or a companion cube (you could try using cheese to make the hearts).

I bought Echo Base for $15 USD (normally $25) at Target today. I waited a whole year for it to go on sale at a price like this! I've built everything up to the trench so far. The tauntaun looks much cooler in person (plus it comes with a birthmark in the form of a 5 number/letter code on the back of its left foot ). For some reason my tauntaun's right arm makes squeaky noises when moved around (see a video here). I love the design of the E-Web! The battery pack and wire is only 5 parts, but it really completes the gun. One of my fleshie smiley faces came a bit misprinted, but I love misprints as you basically get it for free once TLG sends you a replacement

Wow, this voting is tough! There are about 10 outstanding entries that I want to vote for, and it's extremely hard to narrow it down to three. In the end, I chose: 1 point to Inconspicuous' Skull Palace Escape - I love the play features! Looks like you went all out on incorporating them! 1 point to pedro's Dhurban Chariot Race - Lovely color schemeon the horses and chariots, and I'd definitely buy it if it were an official set! 1 point to Oky Wan Kenobi's Nizam's Warship - You really were close to the deadline! Good thing you entered, as your MOC is stunning! Very cool interior, and tons of play features to boot! I narrowed down my list by looking at the descriptions of the MOCs and the practicality of the MOCs as an actual LEGO set - it really helped take off a whole bunch of entries from my list. Wonderful entries, everyone! It took me at least half an hour to decide who to vote for!

It's so overwhelming to see all that nougat and dark tan together like that! I love everything about your MOC, Svelte! The dark tan rock formations look like BURPs from far away (and that's a good thing IMO), the 1 x 4 nougat washing machine rows make surprisingly good wall details, and, most of all, the hidden inner room is gorgeous with the various shades of blue and white! And there's those plants again - you can't get enough of them!

Happy birthday Big Cam! Interestingly, I'm having a birthday party tomorrow; I guess I was subliminally planning it for you instead the whole time... Keep up the excellent reviews!

Thanks for the barcodes, petero! I wasn't expecting someone to make them until June! Thanks for the info! Looks like at least $64 of my annual budget is going to go to getting the minifigs. The weights seem to be just one piece (and a heavy one at that; the minifig's sweating from carrying it!) and it looks like the witch is bent like that because it's a computer graphic instead of real plastic. I'm really glad that there's tons of printing on these minifigs! I see the start of inner side leg printing on the Spartan, arm printing on the mime (hopefully it'll appear on regular minifigs someday!), and a whole bunch of printed accessories, like the sombrero, surfboard, and Hoplite helmet! It does look like some prints need fixing, though, most notably the singer's torso. There's a whole bunch of blank space to the left and right of the printing!

Hilarious comic, def! You really have an artistic skill; I especially love the drawings of the sets. They're easily recognizable! What do you use to make these comics? Looks like Japan got the summer Star Wars sets early

This is the final one of my four MOCs I'll be posting to celebrate my birthday. Enjoy! This MOC was built completely from part one of the Battle of Endor, which includes the minifigs, speederbikes, and catapult. I like making alternative model MOCs because I don't like separating the parts from sets I like and because I like the challenge of limited parts. Time for the pics! Here's the Ewok cannon by itself. It's slightly modeled after the Imperial E-web cannon: You can find the other MOCs here and here. Thanks for reading!

These are the second and third of my four MOCs I'll be posting to celebrate my birthday. Enjoy! I've got two alternative models to present to everyone today. The first is an alternative model of the Assassin Droids Battle Pack speeder. I got the inspiration from someone's MOC I saw long ago before making it, although I can't remember the author was: I put in a mini scout robot, which attaches to the stand: The second is a alternative model of the speederbike from the Snowtrooper Battle Pack (finally got it done Oky Wan! ): Plus a picture of the three Star Wars MOCs altogether (with a sneak preview of the final MOC until I create a topic for it): You can find the other MOCs here and here. Comments welcome!

This is the first of my four MOCs I'll be posting to celebrate my birthday. Enjoy! This MOC started out as a challenge to myself to try to find a way to use the specalized minifig parts in Lotso's Dump Truck and Woody and Buzz to the Rescue on other minifigs. I added the two messed up cars to just add a bit more (I've made them to look like that on purpose). The spotlight is intended to be on the minifigs. I don't have that much time to add any more descriptions (click the minifig pics to see the names of the morphed minifigs), so without further ado... You can find the other MOCs here and here. Thanks for looking!

Thanks everyone! I've had quite a good birthday so far; At least 100 students at school said/sang happy birthday to me, I got a card in my math class, I did well on a math quiz and a booklegger English presentation, got $1 from a friend (he had it lying around in his pocket ), got free candy from two teachers, and probably some other stuff I forgot about. I also got Lotso's Dump Truck, 30040 Octopus, and $50 from my favorite aunt and uncle earlier in the week, as well as having dinner at a restaurant called Red Lobster on Sunday. I'm also going to have a birthday party on Saturday! I'm also waiting for the collectible minifigs to be released so I can get all sixteen. I'm going to post about four MOCs today, too, so stay tuned (three alternate model Star Wars MOC, and a Toy Story one)! I'll make another post in this topic of all my loot after my birthday party. EDIT: MOC 1 - MOC 2 & 3 - MOC 4

I don't think so; expect it to be $40-$50 USD, most likely $50. TLG wouldn't price a set with Cad Bane and the other two exclusive minifigs in a set so cheap. This isn't the place to be discussing prices though.EDIT: Ah, didn't notice Oky Wan's post; sorry!

You just keep on bringing us more and more pictures, grogall! Thanks so much for all your efforts! I'm really excited about this series as much as the first; I'll have to get them all, too! I'm just hoping that TLG doesn't decide to make a series 3 right after this, because then I'll be broke. So many cool accessories! I especially like the metallic gold minifig trophy and the red floaty thing.

I just remembered about my V-19 Torrent mini set today; I bought it a year ago, but I thought that it would be interesting to post here: All three 1 x 1 white bricks formed cracks about a week after being built! A bad batch perhaps? (I did request for replacements right after I noticed it and received them in less than a week) My Temple of the Crystal Skull set has some inconsistent colors on 1 x 8 bricks, too. I'll post a pic as soon as I have enough time to do so...

Wow, Cad Bane's Speeder looks much better than I expected! Very cool aerodynamic shape, and Captain Jayfon looks awesome! I also like how Shahan Alama has two different colored arms. Thanks for the pic!

That was a hilarious themed month game, Shadows! <insert subject forum name here> would be proud of your huge success (in fact, it's hard to overstate my satsisfaction)! Portal references for the win! Would you like some to celebrate? Oh wait, it's a lie! Have some raw sewage containers vital testing apparatus pie instead.

Thanks for the notification of this set, bxheist! I'm a huge collector of polybagged promo sets in the 30000s range, and I had to have this one when I first saw it. It was near the check-out stands, in the bottom right of the shelf holding the non-candy items; there were about 10 or so at each check-out stand, so maybe 100+ of them per Target. No need to hurry! Also, Club Code REG10 stands for "regular 2010", not "Regal Theatres", as some people had thought for the army man polybag in the Toy Story discussion thread. Hooray! EDIT: A couple of pics of my own copy of the set:

I bought 30040 Octopus at Target today, and I can confirm that the Club Code REG10 stands for "regular 2010", not Regal Theatres. That means that we'll be seeing the army man poly bag set near the check-out stands sooner or later.
