Asuka

A very clear and solid looking design, pretty elegant even in its relative blockyness, with an overall very neat appearance and an especially good shoulder/forearm/thighs design. The color scheme´s also very nice. Well done! Now all it needs, perhaps, is some big gun, or´s this maybe more some kind of maintenance mecha..?

That´s a very fine idea and an interesting (and beautiful) project too! And it reminds me only a very little of The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was... Good luck on, and keep us informed!

A wonderful creation! The fine head, the tough body, the smart wings and especially the brilliant neck... simply great!

A very fine and cool looking vehicle indeed, in a well fitting color scheme. Lovely!

A sleek van and a neat scenery indeed, nicely done.

What a clever and magnificent work! Very creative and stunning... all these hinge control stick bases... I´m simply speechless.

Simply magnificent, a very atmospherical creation indeed!

An exciting and well thought out story and beautifull told, with a very fine character development indeed!

Thank you for that very interesting review, metalandi. A cool set with a lot of features and some nifty vehicles, very playable and well designed indeed. Perhaps a bit too colorful for my likings, but pretty impressive in its conception for sure. I wish we could see some more landscaping coming along with todays vehicle sets as well...

A fine and very smooth work, well done!

A very interesting and creative work indeed!

Pretty nice and a fine idea indeed! Pet Rahi, how sweet!

Hello and welcome to the more open minded side of the brick! So, KK, huh... that means that you´re a brave and dare young man for sure. But otherwise... who knows?

Not really. Bonsai means 'landscape in a pot' and´s a pretty special gardening philosophy that means (beside other and more complex things) to cultivate plants in a pot, in a planned shape and smaller than they would usually grow on their own, with different techniques like crown and root pruning par example... So, especially in an outdoor zen garden, a tree that could perhaps grow 8 meters tall but´s kept at 2 meters is bonsai. The very small ones you´re referring to´re called mame bonsai. Although, now if I think about it... Nature´s represented by the tree, the physical agents (water) by gravel... I miss the pot a little. It represents the human element in that triangle.

A very sleek and dangerous looking beast that is indeed, and although your MFs look quite nice too, the only real fitting crew for that ship would´ve to look pretty close to H. R. Giger´s Alien...

Happy birthday guys and, well, just stay tuned. Peace, rock´n´roll and free LEGO on!

An impressive scenery indeed, with a lot of features and very playable as well. Nicely done!

An impressive and very accurate looking work, just smart!

A fine story and simply beautiful told. The landscaping delivers the according atmosphere in a marvelous way. Great!

A neat work with some decent structures for the facade, very nice!

Very funny, and the embankment´s really a beautiful work. The raddled bridge looks wonderful too!

That´s very interesting, although I simply won´t trust some store related analyzes that easily. Of course it seems easier to create action orientated sets with vehicles, and the kids might love action that much indeed. However, buildings´re mostly seen only in pretty large sets like bases, and it´s by far easier for kids to get smaller or medium priced sets from their parents than the more costly ones. With a set design that combines some neat action with a smaller but still decent building this behavior could still become a subject to change. With Castle, this could be done simply with a raided tavern or farm house, and for Agents an assault of the baddies on some lab in order to steal some secret and cool equipment stuff could do the job too, I guess. There´re some options beside the business as usual I believe, all it needs is a little more courage and imagination.

I didn´t want to disrupt the clearness of that other thread, so I´ll post just here that I guess that the campfire from that island set´s just made of three of these wee 1x1x2/3 slopes in trans orange, above some 1x1 round black plates on a perhaps brown 2x2 plate, and the fish holds in place by one of these ExoForce robot claws, connected to a 1x1 round brick with hollow stud, I think... Pretty nice, however.

A wonderful addition to your already marvelous creation. Especially your brilliant raked sand effect´s something I´ll have to keep in mind for sure! The angling of the torii´s very clever too!

An impressive, smooth and clever construction, and the including of some different colored plates add up a lot to the overall very realistic appearance of that wonderful babe. The scheming of the inner rooms looks also very fine, especially the one above the gate. All you need now, I guess, is some fitting interior like a kitchen, stables, living rooms and so on. Magnificent!
