SpiderSpaceman

So the lego website's own mixels page shows all the official double combos (mixes and murps?) for series one, but you have to play through this thing 3 times to see them (12 rounds, 36 combos)...

Oh she's there, they just put her deep down where you'd never, Ever, EVER! fiiiiind herrrr <--- we need unikitty emoticons by the way Amazing model

Winky smile emmet is awesome. All I see in yawning emmet is... offensive caricatures from 1st 1/2 of the 20th century propaganda. Seriously, don't put Sensei Wu's hat on that guy.

I won't lie: I was gonna skip this line ever since we discovered they had molded heads, because that's just not my thing, but I want that Homer.

Wow, that got pretty dark for kids' fare, what with the decaying ice age horrors. Definitely an inspired twist on the white walkers, though. Is the hulk mammoth the first bigfig since the HP mountain troll to have a standard removable mini head (assumed, since his head is identical to the smaler figs)? Cool new basic constraction claw as well. For the fire side, I love the wildcats and the chief phoenix. Little flaming lightsaber bar is a cool new part. And the flame chest tile is just stupidly cool.

it's going straight on my spiderman My spidey-stache is tickling!

Unintuitively, Lego's bricks are sized in relation to the inch, so using that system, you can get a pretty exact size. A brick is (without the stud, since it nests) 6 * 1/16 in. A "stud", here meaning the width of a 1 x 1 brick, is 5 * 1/16 in. Then use the 1 in = 2.54 cm conversion, so 6/16*28*2.54 = 266.7mm height, 5/16*33*2.53 = 260.9mm length. Just a little over a quarter of a meter each way. Smaller than minifig scale, can't tell you how it compares to the official sets.

The tip of the figure's heads really makes all the difference. With the initial peek at the gorillas from the show, I was furious that the sure-thing awesomeness of a gorilla tribe was instantly ruined by the hideous kewpie-doll-ish hershey-kiss hair. Thankfully the real figures didn't echo this and came out fantastic.

Took me three watches to catch that Morgan Freeman's "amateur-custom God"'s crystal staff is, in fact, a mostly eaten sucker. Very playful aura to the whole thing, with the random assortment of figures (I need to find my shaq fig so bad) and aforementioned worn down blue spaceman, just like what you'd pull out of the everykid's unsorted box of Lego. Loving it. And I'm waiting for that molded hood. Go ice cream ninja smoke! "God" also bears a huge resemblance to the Minifigures hippie, tie-dye and all

Ahh I knew one of the parts was from the small clown. Kinda like the figure in the rock band that's a recolored rapper with the disco dancer head. Yeah, I've got my clowns straight now

Probably not the right place to ask, but does anybody have the Minifigures "birthday cake topper" yet? It has a new color variant like the rock band scene and graveyard scene lego exclusives. Clown with a lime green fro, purple short clown torso. Shop @ Home has a picture, but it's just a prototype (painted over hair) maybe I'm wrong about it being painted over. It just looks slightly unfinished for some reason. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Minifigure-Birthday-Set-850791

You wouldn't print one part at a time though. You'd arrange as many parts as could fit on your build platform.

As an engineering student on summer break, I'm working more hours and putting off some set collecting in order to buy a 3d printer by the end of June (been intent on doing so since at least last fall). I WILL be prototyping with it, and I will definitely prototype lego parts, and I will most definitely be attempting to make a bucketful of original homebrew Bionicle figures. My expectations are obviously not to create production quality items, but I can create to my personal satisfaction. The designer of Xevoz proved the concept of using 3d printing for production of ball jointed models: http://www.shapeways...hops/kidmechano I'm a CAD addict, and I'd been searching for months for something akin to the program SolidWorks without need of a good computer or big money (I got a lot of use out of the educational downloads of Autodesk software ). One day it popped into my mind to check for a browser based CAD solution, and I found an excellent, intuitive, easy service. The big computing was done remotely (cloud service) and the developers/service providers were going to discontinue the whole site, but days ago Autodesk stepped in to purchase it and keep it running. Soooo I want to invite absolutely everyone to sign up on http://www.tinkercad.com for your computer modeling needs. Lego building (an intuition for combining shapes into things) is about all the experience required to use it. https://tinkercad.com/things/gvNWM3OKVAK-minithug https://tinkercad.com/things/0J0nRQXap8R-surprising-duup https://tinkercad.com/things/1bgiWxT9lLH-batnaut-helm

The 3-packs are regular figures fused to magnet bricks (and torso to legs, but any rotateable part is removable). I'm not sure how they do the newest ones (single magnet with circular backdrop) but I'm sure they are also secured as a whole (again, heads, hair, armor, arms and accessories probably break free). Certain 3-packs were released as perfectly functional, non glued figures on the same brick, but that's a few years back. The ones I have (all non glued): http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=852552 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=852843 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=852554 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=852845 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?G=852555 dang, I actually made out great with those...

Whoops, went a while without checking eurobricks. There weren't then but I'm going back by today, will let ya know.

TRU by New Orleans has all but Razar. I purchased worriz and cragger since they were the two that TRU has at MSRP, but then I was so geekily pleased with them that I went back for gorzan and eris.

AKA Brick built from the armpits down Did the stiff figs start as babies for the brickbuilt people? I know they were used that way but I didn't know if they'd made their own debut prior to being babies. The aesthetic differences make me suspect they were planned to be their own thing, whether or not they were first released that way.

aaaaand one of the bearded male Agents hilariously has a female torso on the front of a catalog ;)

Uhhhhmazing. Now I think I may pick up all of these big figures (was planning to skip over lion and eagle)

Mmmm, good parts, those. I still think the flame and emitter handle thing should have been separate parts. I think I'll be re-arming my figures with custom built artillery anyway, a la the bulked up cannons the antagonists have in sets 70002, 3, and 5.

Your instabuys are the same as mine. I'll probably skip Gorzan and put that money toward the system Gorilla Mech. (might even have to go for two of that for the model, for the parts)

It's incredibly confusing with your post moved into here.

City Miners, Monster Fighter Mansion, ship in a bottle, davy jones' heart, plank of wood - very very cool. What is 96154? my best guess is the current city dog, but the eyes look a little on the red side

Oh, just thought of something: The drippy brick from the skater's hat, is the decoration in the program and just not applicable to the surface? I like that one. other things that haven't been altered that have me wondering about their inclusion: surfer torso (now using sea king) and evil robot head (now using regular robot head) EDIT: aaaand the back of the sleepyhead's head is bumming me out.

Ah okay. Missed that. Fair enough.
