  1. Not bad SUV 'The Blue Brick', 'prateek' is right about the front end though the height issue might be okay as long as the front end is beefed up. Brick On Drive On !
  2. I it, AWESOME work '501st Commando', the walls of the hanger are wonderfully detailed and the SNOT wings on the drop ship - a huge ....though it appears the ship is very clean.....then it's not Skywalker's then is it ?
  3. Wonderful creation 'Skrytsson', I the trams and that round roof tram stop/shelter - a huge . Excellent work...now you are going to make me start work again on my tram....oh, well.....Brick On 'Skrytsson' !
  4. Thanks for this review 'Jammiedodger', AWESOME truck and again COOL minifigs ....must buy set if only for that truck with new and old parts (2x2x1 car doors). I don't mind Iron Man's helmet, it allows the play feature of face covered and face exposed for in between flight/battle.
  5. I think only us male adults that see Lego City split down gender lines.....children do not as they do with other toys, boys don't play with Barbie and girls don't play with Transformers (well, that one's just a guess). But Lego is different, it's a universal toy, a learning tool and an imagination launch pad for ideas.......of course, the products seem to be aimed at boys, but girls don't care if the boxes are blue or pink. They don't care if the promotions are aimed at boys.....trust me, I'm married and my wife like most females are head strong.....we usually have to listen and obey...well, I do (sometimes). I guess as the argument goes on about Friend's being too girly, can the same be said for City....the number of female minifigs is on the raise and this year they are taking non-stereotypical roles in sets, paramedic, fire fighter, garbage collector, and police chief (another female ordering males around....know how that feels ). One thing always sticks in my mind when topics of this nature pop up......a quote from Obi-Wan speaking to Luke " Luke, you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." Since we all think differently, there will some that agree that city is too boyish and some who will disagree saying it's not...all from how we see it.
  6. Watched the Lorax with my son the other day, it was okay ....though characters being overly physical with children in the film....not a fan of such scenes in any film. Recent kids films I've scene haven't been the best.
  7. You are so correct.....
  8. Happy Birthday 'CopMike' !
  9. I think they might have got into trouble with some big company.....no guesses who right ?
  10. Even a moderator makes mistakes.... The correct link for the 4435 Car & Caravan Looking at the earlier creations of his, one get see them shining in both 4434 and 4435.
  11. Digging deeper I found what you are talking about....oh, boy....okay, it's the cartoon to be aimed towards boys.....like Ben10 or Generator Rex are considered boy's cartoons as well, but do contain female characters in them. Reading the discussions page women have asked the same thing, boys only implied.....but I'll quote from it.... "we understand where you're coming from, which is why we changed how the details read to make sure that no one feels left out whatsoever or that girls can't be heroes. No one ever, ever would think such a thing. sorry for any confusion." From what I can read sounds like Lego has run out of ideas for advertising....no, I don't think so. Though 25K sounds interesting.
  12. Yep, another dumb Super Pack, something CW, something ROTJ and something ANH....canon is totally screwed here.
  13. Congrats to both you, use your powers for good not evil.
  14. That's better 'Dfenz', it looks more realistic now with the height issue fixed. Brick On Drive On !
  15. It's a long time between drinks 'alex54' ? But I like this street scape, can't wait to see it finished. Those trees are fantastic, mind if I take inspiration from the second tree ? Looking forward to more updates.....Brick On Build On 'alex54' !
  16. Interesting but crowded place....you need a little bit more room there to expand it 'Miller', a bit of a traffic jam I can see. Not bad work expanding into a large MOC City Corner's buildings....though that building could pass itself as a discount store right around the corner from the GE. Brick On Build On 'Miller' !
  17. Neat little police cars there 'Miller', the one on the left....an old school English Panda car I think. Though the photography could be little more in focus. Brick On Drive On 'Miller' !
  18. Okay, why have you thrown petrol on an open fire.....it doesn't say 'boys' but 'LEGO believes that every young person has the potential to become a hero.'....direct quote from that page. Why does hero instantly mean boys....there are a few female firefighters, even more police and haven't you ever watched 'Ice Road Truckers'....yep, there is a woman trucker driving over ice cover ocean. There is a large proportional of City fans who are girls between the ages of 5 and 12, as to boys the same age bracket.....this is not made up but witnessed first hand over the past four years of being an AFOL. I agree that some of the sets are aimed towards boys, but some girls don't care....they are happy buying a tow truck or petrol tanker just as much as a boy does....again see with my own eyes. Lets just have the children decide what toys they want to play with.....now what did Lego mean.....oh, yeah...Play Well.
  19. Nice work 'Dakar' , though I'm not sure about those vertical exhaust pipes their on the prime mover ? Brick On Truck On !
  20. Perhaps it's a cost issue or it's what Disney/Marvel wanted.....hulk with only move-able arms. We can consider the minifig Hulk as him starting the transformation into the not-so jolly green giant.
  21. And add to that two Myer online items...... Lego Architecture Empire State Building for 29.95 Lego Architecture Sydney Opera House for 59.95 By the looks of it, you have to go to Myer.com.au/toys to buy them.
  22. Excellent creation 'Si-MOCs' , these laws must be a sci-fi standard......except in Star Wars right ?
  23. So sad, my condolences to her family and friends.
  24. Bad planning on Lego's part I say, Haspro already has their Avengers stock out in Target....when will Lego learn.
  25. Excellent Mood-scale figures 'CallMePieOrDie'. Any more coming ?
