  1. Oh I used to be in love with the green and white ninja's.
  2. When I post it just posts a blank post? EDIT: Wait now it works. EDIT: OK this time it worked but some of my posts just show up as blank, this is really weird. See the Reviewers Academy for further examples.
  3. I understand your point, and it's a good one. But I stand by my tripled in price quote becasue in fact it did. The magnet is a Chrome fig with a magnet, where this is just the fig and at one point was available for $2.99, therefore, triple that and you get $9, Being that I bought some for $3 each and now they are worth roughly $10, they have in fact tripled in price. Also a small update from what I've been reading and my experience buying the last one from my Toys R Us store, I think this promo has been exhausted, and likely isn't available anywhere.
  4. I too have my suspisions of Pvt. Tom Perot as well. All tjhis information is starting to sound more like lies than valued information. Also seeing as it has led us no where.
  5. Welcome ot the board, I'd love to see the office once finished.
  6. Welcome to the forums, sounds like you have a diverse collection, but heavy on the SW. Good choice Enjoy the board!
  7. What are you using for a reflective surface??
  8. I see that. Nerd Commander felt like bumping a few of them, and I can't complain, I love getting comments on my reviews. The first 9 reviews I did are all from my student days in the academy, so they are all from Sept/Oct 09. There's more in my sig if your interested.
  9. Were is the key word, I've been slacking lately.
  10. Haha thanks, but the majority of my reviews were done in my student days in the academy. If you want to see any of my other reviews, they are all in my sig, in order that I did them as well. Except the Indie review, he's by himself.
  11. That stinks man, but at least your educated enough to know what to look for. It's a blessing in disguise. In high school, I bought my first dirt bike, not knowing anything really, and the 3rd gear fork was bent and so when in 3rd gear therer was this horrible clanking noise and the thing drank oil like gas, I literally added a quart of oil every time I filled the tank with gas. Keep looking, good luck!
  12. Never ever doubt the man whom does the indexing! Finally a title I know who I got it from. Whitefang, he added my Chrome stormtrooper review to the SW index and I misread and thought it was an alternate review, but it was the alternate version. Doh.
  13. It sure is. I took about 30 pictures total and used 13 I think. If I was to far to one direction the whole fig would look black, it got a little annoying, but I'm happy with the ones I ended up with. It was more of a rhitorical question. I believe that these are the exact same fig's. I have 3 more magnet figs and a few more polybag figs but I don't want to open anymore. The helmet on my magnet fig is a little loose but I've heard of that happening randomly in battle packs too, so I'm not holding that against the magnet fig. Otherwise they really look and feel identical.

    Car Talk

    The Aston is cool, but o agree, its kind of ridiculous. An awful lot of cash for a tiny car with an overpriced badge.
  15. I present to you the very short review of the Chrome Storm trooper polybag promo from Toys R Us. BASIC INFORMATION: Set Name: Storm trooper (Toys R Us polybag promo) Set Number: Item# 4591726 (alternate# 2853590 Number of Pieces: 5 Minifigs: 1 Price: Free with a SW LEGO purchase of $11.99 or in some stores $2.99 Theme: Star Wars Year Released: 2010 RESOURCES: (high res pics removed due to flickr's new 1,000 image limit, BC 2020) THE REVIEW: Bag Front: This is going to be one easy build, he comes completely assembled, and notice no official set number. Bag Back: It's a choking hazard trust me, I translated all 30+ languages. (not really, but that's kind of overkill) Minifig Front: He's a Storm trooper and he's chrome. Awesome! The grill for his mouth is actually very detailed but hard to photograph. Minifig Left: It may be hard to see but there are grey spots and blue markings just like a regular storm trooper, notice the unchromed part? Minifig Back: Pretty well detailed I must say. Again the printing is the same as a standard storm trooper. Minifig Right: More unchromed plastic, it's obvious how his arms were positioned during the chroming process. Taken Apart: Legs work back wards since he came assembled. Tada, the leg prongs are chromed as well, not too shabby. Legs 1: Here I show the unchromed part of the legs when you bend the legs. Legs 2: This is the legs bent back the opposite way. We all know he was standing at attention when chromed. Arms Back: As seen above his arms were placed back wards during chroming and now you can see the part that did not make the chrome cut. Is it better than the magnet fig? Most of us probably made a point to get a magnet since it was an easy way to get a chrome storm trooper, if we only knew what was coming. Comparison 1: The legs got the same treatment on both figs. This is good news. Comparison 2: Again the exact same spots are missing chrome. Besides these similarities, I actually think they are the same fig. The printing on the back of the polybag fig (smaller gun) is a little more accurate, but not by much. Totals: Design: 10/10 It's a chrome storm trooper, what else could be done. Parts:10/10 You may not get much, but most of us didn't pay for it either. Build: 10/10 This was really easy to build Minifigs: 10/10 Come on, of course this is a ten, he's chrome and a storm trooper, case closed. Playability: 10/10 Good old LEGO works with all LEGO, plus he's chrome. Price: 10/10 FREE!!!!, or $2.99 which is a steal compared to the $9.99 magnet. Total: 60/60 A perfect score. OK, Honestly these ratings can't really be applied here because it's not a set, but for the price or lack there of, I love this fig. I did get more than one but I'm not going to reveal how many because I love this fig, and unfortunately I did not get as many as I'd like so I won't be selling any. Even though they have already tripled in price on bricklink.
  16. It was posted earlier that bricklink has only sold two, a new one for $100.00 and a used one for $57.00 So honestly, you get to set your own price, but remember, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay, so if you put them up for sale for $200 each, you'll probably only sell one or two. If I were you and I wanted to sell them, I'd put them on bricklink for like $75-80 each.
  17. Thanks for the review, I love that torso. GREEN!!! Yes.
  18. I definetaly do. My Toys R Us is out of them now. Plus when they retail for $2.99 and bricklink already has them for $10-15, I think they'll be worth money if kept in the bag.
  19. Well Eurobricks is a global community. There are quite a few US members but if local is what you are looking for, I'd search for local Vermont LEGO forums or clubs/meetings. But by all menas, hang out here too, this is one great community.
  20. I see my suggestion for a title in the best lock thread stuck. Another great review of a set that in my eyes is so so. Much better than the best lock car but sub par to LEGO in my eyes. At least this has structure and appears to hold itself together. Plus the minifig gear looks interesting.
  21. Muse I love there style of music, it's great for doing anything, driving, working, building LEGO. Great band.
  22. I love it, this is a rare set, as LEGO doesnt like to take chances on big random pieces anymore. Your images are getting better and better!!
  23. I like it, great use of such a small space.
  24. Funny Funny story. I didn't even realize that's how the cockpit worked and I hated it, and rated it really low in the RA, then Clone O'Patra basically e-slapped me, and I figured it, out. It was hilarious, you know when something is really obvious to everyone except one person. I was that person.
  25. it's the truth.
