Maaboo the Witch

I've always grappled with the name of this thing. How is it pronounced? Buh-Wizz? Boo-Wizz? Why is it even called "BuWizz"? Meh.

Sure does.

TLG just HAD to discontinue Monster Jam this year...

An unusual choice! One to watch.

It could at least have been designed with a little more finesse. Look at the Surface Space Loader - functional, but it has some visual swish to it.

I'm not a massive fan of this set. It looks extremely unattractive and the body extension mechanism (or lack of one) is pretty dull.

The moulding mark on most new beams has been moved next to the pinholes, and is much less noticeable. Took TLG long enough.

Hosting images on Flickr and embedding them here would help immeasurably.

Not necessarily true. One commenter on Brickset remarked that they bought the first two MJ trucks for their son because he loved MJ. Would the reaction have been different had the trucks been non-licensed? Probably. Plus younger builders are gonna have their favourite truck, and thus want the Technic equivalent.

Love, love, luuuuuuuuurve this build! Lovingly detailed and wholly, brutally accurate.

All this talk of space and cats... I had to!

The Volvo loader is still my favourite polybag, but this is definitely one to seek out.

For me, the Monster Jam trucks were varied enough that it never felt as if I were building the same model twice. I also think it worthy of note that there were more than enough trucks to keep the subtheme going for quite some time. Seriously, Monster Jam was one of the better ideas TLG had in some time. What happened?

Grohl used the same technique in his VW Baja Beetle alternate.

I was being sarcastic. Although I wouldn't be surprised if my hypothesis were correct.

Nope. I don't know why TLG discontinued those sets; maybe it's because they didn't completely displace Spin Master as the primo producer of Monster Jam merchandise.

Hi. We speak English on this forum, just FYI.

Something something Racingbrick!

This 🐕 has no treads on its wheels, which are entirely smooth, so I'm not sure how well it would perform on ice either. Wouldn't the wheels spin in place and turn the ice to slush?

You can embed images directly using Flickr.

I reckon this thing would sink in snow. There's a reason arctic vehicles have wide tracks: weight distribution.

I can definitely see this 🐕 drilling in a cavern deep beneath the ice. Great job!

I see Sariel as more of a realist than a pessimist, and as far as I'm concerned he's right most of the time. Plus his pets are adorbs! I agree on this. I have no idea why TLG in all their wisdom discontinued Monster Jam.

I just have to.

It's Royal Canin, dammit! 🐱
