5150 Lego

Very cool. Thanks for the info Blackbird. Looking forward to your reviews.

Nice ride Polish Guy! I had a 1.8T 5-speed Passat myself. Mine also had quite a few mods.. 19" Intro Forge wheels. 235/35 ZR 19" front, 245/35" 19" rear Nitto tires Eibach Coilover suspention Lowered 3" Eibach sway bars.. GIAC cumputer tune... Intake (for the life of me, i can't remember who made it. Greddy Exhaust.. 3" down pipe... ATP front mount intercooler... Custom painted engine covers.. Steel braided hoses... Kamei black mesh grill.. Kamei eye lids... Zender concepts front facia/bumper cover.... Color matched factory side skirts and rear facia.. Full custom Sub woofer encloser with 2, 12" JL Audio W7 subs Autometer Boost, oil temp, and volt gauges in custom made triple a-pillar pod wrapped in factory like head liner material (still have this sitting in my garage) Custom body color matched interior trim panels.. Blue neon interior accents... Windo tint.. Momo shift knob and e-brake handle Thats all i can remember right now. I do miss that car. Good power, great handling, and looked really damn good! A real head turner! Are you a memeber on clubb5 at all? Or on VW vortex?

I'd enter one of the contest. PM a Mod to get this going. My voteis for modern/furtristc cause thats my preferred buildind style and i work with moderen emergency vehicles in my daily job.

And that's the real kicker. Money. Critics and say what they want about it, ( "Die hard" fans as well), but bottom line is its making a killing. I really do hope he does return. At minimum, to keep the general feel the same. Each movie has worked kind of in waves. The first movie was going into unknown territory. New designs, new story, live action. NO one (as much as G1 fans like to say would) truly knew what was, and wasn't going to work. Bay and the writers did what they felt was going to appease the fans, as well as general audience. For the most part, they succeeded. The second movie was really an appeal to try and please the fans even more. More characters, more character development, more action. Unfortunately not everyone liked every bot, and others felt others should have had more development. (which i can't argue). Again, for the most part, i felt they succeeded,but still there is room for improvement. Now we have the third (hopefully)coming. I think we now have a solid structure of what will, and won't work to appease everyone. (fans and general public alike). Although your never going to make everyone happy, i think Bay and team is moving in the right direction. I feel at this point if anyone else takes the directors throne, the movie time line will just go all out of whack. Like when Joel Schumacher took over the Batman movies from Tim Burton. Only time will tell though.

What are you talking about? What game? Have a look at post 724, through 727 of this thread. See how i asked a question, another member gave a response in a civilized manner, and i gave similar response back in a civilized manner? Do you see that? That's called a debate. But instead of doing this, you start off my saying my arguments are poorly constructed, (which they weren't) and tell me I'm just trying to start an argument. Well here you have it. Don't be naive in thinking you can say these type of comments and not expect a response. That's not very smart on your part. I find it odd that every time i ask a question/ disagree with a comment, you and your little friends automatically start off as rude and disrespectful and have the audacity of telling me I'm trying to start an argument. And yes, it is you that is starting all this. I've had plenty of debates on this site (alot of which are in this thread) without the wining, complaining that you seem to cause yourself. People are going to disagree on matters, and some people are going to be more pasionite about it than others. This doesn't mean their trying to impliment an aurgument. Ah, OK. I see what your talking about now. Yes, as i said i agree that this was a point in the movie that should have been addressed better. I would have much rather seen other decepticons battling in the final desert scene Something tells me that it wasn't an error, but done for the reasons It really doesn't bug me that they Either way, it is what it is. The more i think about it, the less it really bothers me. He is coming back for the 3rd. He's just talking a yr off. At the end scene

Can i ask were you got the ladder from? Never seen one like it in LEGO before. I really like how you used technic hose T's to secure the ladder too. I also like your contest idea as well. But I'd prefer to have just a "build an Emergency vehicle" contest instead of a classic. But either way, great suggestion.

Very, very cool! Exellent detail inside and out and i love the detail of the bucket. Great Job!

Here we go..... Your going to insult me by telling me that MY arguments are poorly constructed, claim that I'm exaggerating on how your reacting,then say I'm the one trying to start an argument?? Please. I at no point initiated any argument, rather a debate. You ever have one of those? Don't dismiss my points (especially being an African American myself) as being poor, and then make claims that I'm over reacting and trying to start an argument. Its comments like these that make these friendly conversations escalate into something alot more than it should be. I stand behind everything I said. Don't dismiss my points cause you don't agree with them. But see, here's the problem that Lie's within your logic and everyone one else that seeing these two as acting in Black Stereo types. THEIR NOT BLACK They are ROBOTS that exhibited immature behaviour that is common among today's youth of all cultures. Do African Americans exhibit this behaviour? Sure. But so do white people, Asian, Europeans, Latino, etc. Its sad that when you see behaviour like this you automatically think of the African American race. Open your eyes alittle more to the world around you. Check out a comedy called "Malibu's most wanted". While its nothing serious, and portray many stereo types in itself, it really does bring light to stereotypes. If you don't get anything out of it, you should at least get a laugh. No one said you had to like them. Though i do agree, that it would have been nice to see more of Arcee. Its coments like you quoted SWMAN, that shows that many have never experianced "college life" so to speak. Frat parties, half naked girls, sexual advances.... This is what college is. Not saying that i agree with it, or that everyone that attends college exhibits this behaviour, but it is a very real part of college life. Some schools are more known for parting than others, but even the most prestegies of schools live up to the "Stereo type". Oops!! Threre's that word again!

First off, yes, i do live in the U.S.. And second, as an African American Male myself, i did not see any stereo types of African Americans that you have pointed out. Why is that? Cause they were not African Americans. You want to know what i saw? Two ORANGE AND GREEN ROBOTS that acted dumb and immature that gave great comic relief and learned that behavior through earths kids. (as stated by Optimus in the first movie) Not African American Behavior. It seriously aggravates me to know end when people see this type of behaviour and automatically think.. "Man, look at his uneducated, gold tooth, bad grammar individual. Man, they must me making fun of black people!" I don't consider Bay a Racist in any way. I consider the people that take offense by these robots the racist. Cause as i pointed out, they are the ones that are associate this behavior with black people. And just so were clear, I'm not singling you out, or associating in this category SWMAN, as you already stated that you don't agree with the above stereo types. But this whole topic has been seriously been blown way out of proportion. No one b!tches when the Wayne Brothers (african American actors/directors) make obvious cracks at black people. No one complains when Spike Lee makes a movie with a bunch of black gang memebers doing a drive by.. But Micheal Bay makes a movie with to transforming robots from another planet with gold teeth and can't read,and people automaticly think "Racist Bastard!!" Lame.

Ok, so i just got home from seeing the movie. (in IMAX might i add ). After all the hype, the rumors, the leaks, the false spread rumors, and waiting 2 hours in line i finally,finally got to see the movie that I've been waiting 2 yrs to see.... And i have to say it was well worth it. But the movie was not without its faults. First lets start with the good..... Great action. The best i think I've ever seen in any film within recent yrs. The CGI was also top notch, which is important in a film like this. Very well done. Story and plot.. I really don't see what everyone is complaining about concerning the story line and plot. Sure it was no "Piano", but I think they went very well together and the characters did a good job delivering everything to the audience. Also as well as Character development was also greatly improved. These three, were by far, the best bots in terms of character development and personality, as well as really adding to the whole movie. The humor of the movie was also great! Everything from Bumble Bee's music, Sam parents, his Room Mate, to dim witted Skids and Mudflap, the Humor was hilarious. Non stop laughter throughout the film. Sound wave... I have to say And ravage! I also like how a few of the trailers actually mislead you to believe something completely different in the movie. For example, Now for the dislikes.. First Character development. I actually agree Though i have to admit, Sideswipes alt mode was bad megablocks! Now for Sideways. (the decepticon we saw in nearly every preview busting through the building).. I also wish we got to see more character development from the Humor,... Ya, i know i said I liked it,(which i did. But i can see were it could be over the top for some. Especially for kids. Then there are the plot holes. Well, i don't know if you can call them plot holes, but they definitely didn't make any sense. First... It is also never explained.. Second (and these were my biggest complaints of the film).. Last was (and these really weren't a big deal, but.. So that's my long list of pros and cons of "Revenge of the fallen". For me, though the movie was far from perfect, it was still very enjoyable, and still worth watching. Skids, Mudflap, and Jetfire alone made up for all imperfections of the movie. Though there are a couple things I'd still like to ask.... Were you not paying attention??? The Combination sequence of devestator was defenatly in the movie, and it was incredible!! Please explain these comments please. How do Skids and Mudflap full fill any kid of "Racial Stereotype". Not being a smart megablocks, but i'd really like to know why you both felt this way.

Is the brown moustached head rare or somthing? I got one with fight on the flying wing. Are these worth anything?

Tank Please!!

One thing i will give him credit for.... Like him or not, he was (for the most part) a very positively influential person. He brought alot of joy to many peoples lives all around the world in a way that i don't believe any actor/entertainer ever has been able to do. He was just as popular in Japan and Russia, as he was in America, and Europe. That's quite an accomplishment. As I'm writing this i can litterly hear my neighbors playing his "Thriller" album at top volume.

True. Very true. Good point. Many celebrities are faced with difficult and complicated situations working as child actors/entertainers and grow up with no complications. I know every situation is different, but I don't believe his was so different to excuse his behaviour.

Although i have my opinion, i respect others as well and welcome a healthy discussion/debate. I don't expect to change anyones opinion on him, just stating my own. I base my opinion on multiple things i have seen him do. (such as the way he physically handled his own children, sleep overs with other children at his never land ranch). I don't believe every testimonial from every child interviewed, as it was aparent that many were just jumping on the band wagon for money. But MJ also put himself in alot of promisques predicaments. Predicaments that he knew he should have stayed clear of considering the way he was being perceived my the media and public.

Agreed. He gave us great music....... But as a person,........... I just didn't care for him. Yes, I understand he was "found" inocent, but that doesn't mean i agree with the outcome. There was alot of other things that he did envolving children that there was no excuse for. I don't wish death on anyone. May he rest in peace. But I won't miss him.

WOW!!! Those are incredible!! I've never seen those before. Very impressive!

Very impressive engine! Great detail inside and out,and looks like the real thing. I really like how you captured the front end. Very well done!

Very impressive model. Like others have said, its great to see model team and technic combined. The attention to detail is exellent. Great job!

The fine is stupid no doubt. Can i ask you a question? What do you se in nascar? Personaly,i could never get into it. Just going around and around in circles. Boring. So i ask, what makes it interesting for you?

Nothing going to be a s good as the original. Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hamond make that show what it is. No one else that i could think of could replace them. They planned to do a U.S. show, but that got axed early this yr.

I'd love to pick it up. Especaily since it would work perfect for my current race trailer prodject, but as of know, its not avaible in the U.S.

I offer you peace and this is your response? Right kid. You started all this, not me. Anyways, back on topic, I'd like to see more vehicle based missions. Or even a levels on submarines and battle ships. That would be cool.

While cranks do work better than knobs, it still takes a while to crank LA's to full extension. It also makes it more difficult when there a load on them. (Such as lifting pallets with the telehandler) As for switching the battery pack, that's true, you could switch them around, but depending on the model/set, that can be a real pain. But your right it would save money. As do LA's. At some point the load will be to great, and the internals will just start clicking, as well as the gear train used to run the LA's. I found that pneumatics have a much higher lifting capacity than LS's do.

I understand that you were bring in an idea, but it was very contradicting considering you state they shouldn't make a game about war, then you make a suggestion on which war you'd like to see made into a game. Do you see this? I'm not the only person who noticed this either. I'm not bitter, but i won't stand for being singled out either. (which you did do). You quoted me and made assumptions on that i was forcing my opinion on you and others. When that wasn't the case. I have never started "huge arguments" as you put it. I have however, participated in debates and I'm the type that when i feel passionate about a certain subject, i don't back down. If you follow my posts as well as you say you do, then you should have known that. Then don't act like one. Look, my intetion isn't to start a war with you. BUt please don't say things about people and not expect a resonse. Peace ok?
