Wow, what a lovely Fabuland mini-celebration just for Ricky Racoon! Happy Birthday Rick! Enjoy your special day with your loved ones and of course, hope you have lots of LEGO!

I actually confused Harriet with Heng in BB2, but the latter was what I was referring to. I need to brush up my mafhistory once again. (I'm so )

All posts from the 2012 News & Rumors thread regarding minifig detailing are moved here. Pls. continue the discussion here.

Whaaa?!? You even referenced to Harriet's oinky oink-oink act yourself: Nah, I hope you had fun while it lasted Scorpiox, and hopefully no ill feelings after the game is over. It is just a game after all. (offers virtual hand shake)

Nah, do whatever you want kiddo. I would like to actually thank you for giving me personally a good couple of days of beauty rest. But I really must say you're doing such a bad impersonation of the the classic Harriet act. You're trying too hard, too far from it kid, not even close. Whoops! Sorry can't help it!

Congratulations to the winners! I see we some interesting double victors too (Darth Yogi, Praiter Yed, Darkblane). Great job too by Luxor for conducting this contest and many thanks to our generous sponsors of the prizes (BrickArms, BrickForge, and Brick Warriors).

This topic has been brought up several times already in various threads, so I guess it's better to have one single discussion topic about the evolution of the Star Wars minifigs. So you think the current level of detailing is all but part of natural evolution of minifigs or is it becoming too overly detailed? Share your thoughts here.

Wow, you never really cease to amaze me with your alternate build expertise Chris! I'm very much impressed with your ability to see the building potential of ordinary, and sometimes unappealing sets like this one, which IMO is what separates MOC Experts like you from mere mortals like us. Excellent work as always my friend!

Thanks for sharing yet another quality review Masked! Reading your review just reaffirms my initial decision to get this one. But the kid in me never outgrew my love for dinosaurs! In fact, my all-time favorite dino has always been the Triceratops, so getting this set is a no-brainer for me. TLG really did a good job with the dinos in this line, and this Triceratops is no expection - very accurate look and intricate print detailing. The truck will just be an added bonus (parts source) for me.

Eurobricks Reviewers Academy Teacher Masked Builder brings to us another fresh review of an upcoming LEGO DINO set, 5885 - Triceratops Trapper. Click on the image to see more.

Mr. Happy Head and I could use a couple of days rest. Probably the Creeps too, to tone down our perceived brashness which seems to be deeply hurting the fragile emotions of the remaining undercover agents here.

It's always a pleasure to see some of the less prominent (but still interesting) scenes in the movies depicted in brickbuild, and even better that ACPin chose this to immortalize in his signature dioramas. Very well done once again!

Pls. don't swear on any religious beliefs, that's totally inappropriate, insensitive, and disrespectful. Vote: Simon the Pieman (Scorpiox)

Players? Are we playing some type of a game here? I thought we're just a bunch of hired criminals on a mission to nuke Gotham steal some missiles for Kaznia. Nah, I know where you're coming from Pam. I just can't make myself to believe such unfair scenario, but it is indeed possible. Well, I guess we just have to double our efforts then to eradicate the remaining scum agents among us.

Mad Hatter, you never fail to amuse me with your your short but sweet sentences. Though thanks for backing up Creep's info, and you being our action cop (thanks to your unnecessary public revelation yesterday) this confirms what Simon previously revealed himself to me about being a blocker. What even makes his ability even more scummier is the fact that he could hand out his exploding pies to his scum cohorts: Simon Said: I assume his action is to make a pie and use it to block someone at night, and his skill is the ability to hand one pie to someone else. Curiously, these set of abilities are eerily similar to that of another villain here, Scarecrow - who himself also revealed his ability to me: I know because Scarey-face himself gave me a Fear Gas canister, presumably to earn my trust. But I have no intentions of using this which just might just mess another criminal's important action. As we all know now, both Simon and Scarecrow have two abilities (blocker and target randomizer) that are tailor-fitted for their scum undercover activities, which could totally derail the criminal's plans. Add that to their previous behavior in the past days, we have two prime suspects right in our faces. Also, let's not forget our double-faced friend here Harvey Dent, who himself has been of little help to the criminals, role-claimed as the redirector (another scummy ability) and really reeks of scum smell if you ask me. So there you go, three solid potential scum agents to choose from. Though I'll probably go with the Pieman today. Whoa, wait a minute Ivy, how sure are we that there were 6 of them to start with? If they started out with 6 and then recruited 2 of us, that would make them an 8-strong scum team that is extremely unfair to us criminals, and something that I refuse to believe. While it is still not proven that they had a second conversion, I think the most plausible scenario is that they had 5 initial agents and they converted 1 (Wesker) and probably another (second and last one). I'm sincerely hoping that there is still some sense of balance in this crazy 'F'd up' ordeal that we're going through.

I understand what you're saying Clay, it may be that I'm just getting too paranoid with all this ordeal so I really hope there won't be anymore conversions by the scum agents. What adds to my suspicion is when I found our privately before about the late Calendar Man's (Bob) ability to prevent conversions in odd-numbered days. I agree the scum agents having unlimited conversions is too far-fetched of an idea, and a maximum recruitment of 2 is pretty fair to both sides, and I hope that's it for them, no more ,no less It's the scum agents' problem if they suck big time in their undercover mission, and us the (town) criminals should not suffer any consequences for (playing) doing our job very well in unprecedentedly weeding them out this early.

Pls. forgive the Doll for not being attentive enough, she just woke and still feels a bit groggy... Then that will probably remove my fear of the agents having multiple conversions. Though if I may I share with you the Ventriloquist and Scarface has been known to always carry their signature tommy gun. See I told you a sweet innocent girl like me is not fit for these types of violent missions. I don't do nukes, I only blow up cakes with TNTs.

You sure have great listening skills for someone who doesn't have ears Clay! But you're right, turncoat seems like what The Joker was about to say earlier. But like what Mr. Egg-head mentioned earlier, I can't help but be wary of another recruitment happening last night after another night of "no scum-kill", which leads me to believe the agents have some sort of "psedo-unlimited recruiting ability" which IMO is an extremely anti-(town) criminal advantage of the scum agents. Just think about it, how will we proceed with our MO of nuking the city (outnumber them) if the agents can simply recruit whenever they lose one of them? I sure hope I'm wrong about this or else our gracious hosts will receive a lot of flak after our mission.

Can Mr. Happy Head say W00t W00t?! We got 2 scum agents last night! Great job by our vigilante, and even a greater job by our perfect scum-agent hunter Creeps, 3-for-3 baby! You're so damned good I could kiss you right now! And yeah, that pretty much seals my complete trust and faith in you, sorry for the initial doubts. Only a scum agent would be that very pessimistic amidst all the recent success that we're having. And just to confirm Creep's findings, you are indeed a Blocker, you yourself told me when you approached me in a private conversation. Remember when you told me about the Pies that you could create/bake to block other's actons? I have the recordings of such conversation happening that I will share with everybody: Simon Said: What's even more suspicious of you is when I asked you if you could invent other items aside from Blocking Pies, you never bothered to respond back! And why is that? You're sacred out of your shitty pants already? Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Simon, am I being too rude to you now? I'll get the Giant Pacifier from the Creeps if you'd like. Another if I may. Really? Really? You're still doubting Creeps after successfully leading the criminals in taking out three scum agents?! You my psychotic friend, are just being too blatantly obvious right now, and here I thought you were a highly intellectual psychologist, but you're inexplicably exposing your true colors right now. Indeed he is. We have damning evidences against you Scarey-face, which we'll save for later.

Quoting the hosts of the contest: Hope that helps!

Your batmobile is much much better than TLG's upcoming version, and definitely the highlight of this entry. Kudos also to the realistic action scene of Bats in the roofdeck, particularly the effective upside down positioning of the cape - really very clever.

For sets that I plan to keep intact and not to be 'scavenged for parts' for MOCs, I apply the decals. As much as I would want the particular pieces to be printed, I still feel the need to apply the stickers to complete the overall look of a certain set or vehicle. It just doesn't look right without applying them, and they are there for a purpose and that is to improve the aesthetics when there are no possible building technique could achieve the same effect. However, there are certain stickers that are unnecessary IMO and that I could live without, particularly the bumper decals of some of the the new 2012 CITY vehicles. The grill tile pieces used before already worked, I'm quite dumbfounded why the designers had to go with this sticker route? This will be one of those examples where I would certainly not apply the stickers, and instead use the conventional grill piece set-up.

Thanks for sharing this Soluscud! I've always been interested with these LSW accessories (clocks, torchlight, etc) but never really gotten myself in actually buying them. But seeing how this Vader torchlight has separate lighting on the feet and the lightsaber, coupled with the removable helmet, I think I'll be getting this one.
