Great review mate, i dont think i need say anything else about it really as it speaks for itself. Oh and regarding your last post i couldnt of put it better myself.

At last there doing a movie :-) Im not sure where you guys got the idea that Dan had stopped doing Homers voice, its always been him since the start and no other voice actor has stepped in for him. The cast did go on strike last year and it was rumored that other voice actors would be brought in but thankfully this didnt happen and the original cast came back to work (with a big pay rise). Theres been a few cartoon movies over the years that have done very well like the South Park one or The Family Guy movie, both of these scored well at the box office and continued in the same line of the series's. Lets face it a movie version is just an extended version of an episode so as long as the right people are involved it should be ok.

Have a great day :-)

"Joe Vig's New Job" or "Leaving on a Jet Plane"
Vader replied to Athos's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I see this vig as a p*+s take out of airport staff who miss the most obvious things, for me if i wasnt for the headgear that the fig with the gun has, i doubt anyone would be offended. -
Not to me, but then to each his/her own.

I would of like the US version but its easy to make a custom version that looks like the US one, i like this set and the quad bike is a lovely vehicle. As for the dino well i dont like love it or hate it, but i does seem very un-lego to me.

Lord *vader* to GM *yoda* & Dillon............... So the pilot claims that the burgers were stolen??? After already saying that they were delivered to that fat slug jabba???? This pilot is obviously lying........... therefore we will not send any troops to aid him.......... Where is the Fett???? he will be dispatched to retrieve our pilot and to see if rebels are on this planet.......
-
Lord *vader* to GM *yoda* ......... Hmmmmmm yes perhapsit would be a wise idea to have him Court Martialed, i want a full report from yourself and his supervisor Dillon at once........
-
Lord *vader* to GM *yoda* ........... How long till our new base is finished???? If rebels are found then the fleet will be dispatched to crush them at once...........

Here you go Jipay http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=4213 the ones shown here are the same as the ones that you get with this set.

Oh yeah it sure does seem like lego has struck gold with these sets, long may they continue i say.

Yoda the figs hands are as stated by Kikuichimonji, however i have noticed that the face colour and hand (dark bluesh grey) colour dont match up. I find this to be strange as surley lego could of done better still like yoda pointed out the SB sets are a complete mess hands wise. Starwars4j what are you talking about?? the bricks that are inside the batmobile ARE YELLOW only the grill on top of the cockpit and wheel trims are gold.

Thanks and yes i did get it shipped in, in fact it was cheaper to have it bought and sent in than it will be form S@H.

So after having to wait alittle longer than i would have liked i finally got my hands on this set and thankfully the wait was worth it. So lets get this reveiw a rollong and start with the Batmobile: As you can see this vehicle is very sleek looking but like the batboat suffers from the gold tile on the roof, as this can be easily replaced its not a problem but i do wonder why lego felt the need to included it. Ok here we have a nice little view of the cockpit as you can see its pretty basic with just the steering wheel and a printed slope, Though lego have included stikers that can be applied to 2 black tiles. The stikers themselves are abit strange as its just black and red circles on a grey background, but they do add something to the cockpit and im glad lego included them. The windscreen is attached by 2 hinges that allows for it to be easily opened though i did find that the hinges dont seem to hold the windscreen tight enough. Now we have the boot of the batmobile where batman can store all his bat gadgets, this is a nice little touch thats added to the set but once again whats with the yellow bricks that are visible once open??? Lego's inclusion of these yellow bricks is a strange one as it just dosent look right if you ask me. Here you can see the side of the batmobile in all its glory, as you can see the tubes are a nice little feature what you cant see however is how these are attached. Lego have used 2 small techno pins that insert into a modified techno 1x1 brick, this brick is then attached to both wheel arch's. The front tecno brick also slots onto a plate to hold it tight where as the back one dosent, this one just sort of hangs there and the wheel arch is attached by a tile to the second wheel arch. For me its a shame that lego used 2 arch's per wheel as your left with the batmobile looking less sleek than what it could of been. For me the Batmobile is a good vehicle with a nice playability feel and its well put together on a whole. However i do feel that its way to big when compaired to all the other vehicles that lego produce in lines like the world city one and when its put side by side with the van in this set it just kinda looks silly. Now one to Two Face's van: Well as said in other reviews on the web its basically the same van as the ones in the world city line, however this one does have a few features that are new and add great playability to the set. First up is these neat little side cannons, the handle plates allow for these to be flipped out very easily and even though lego's insistance on using the colour yellow on these frustrates me once again i find that overall it still works well. You may also notice the stickers on the side of the van (yes stickers :-( ), these do look good and i really like the fact that lego included the Two Face coin on it. Here we have the back of the van which for me looks great but i cant make out what its supposed to be?? Other than a handy target for the batmobiles missile but it adds a nice little touch to the van. The top of the van as pictured (sorry about the poor pic here) has a Two Face coin sticker which as i said before i quite like and for me it adds a touch of owner ship to the van.........even though its stolen :-D The top of the van is made up by a hinge plate that comes into effect later, the 2 handles have a tile in between them thats for Two Face to sit in between and shoot at the batmobile this also serves as a sort of ejector seat, this is activated when you fire the batmobiles missile at the back of the van which in turn moves the hinge plate around and throws Two Face from the van. As you can see above this is how the hinge plate moves around and allows for the ejection of a fig, inside the van is hollow to allow this feature. I can see alot of people customizing the interior in the months to come and i for one may add a safe or money of some sort. Lastly for the van we have a front view, simple and works well even if i did find the sticker to be annoying once again. I feel that the van works very well and i really like the way the grey and white pieces look together. My only cause of complant is the same as the batmobile in that the two when put together looks silly, for me the van should have at least been the same size as the batmobile if not bigger. And here we have the last bit of the set, for me this is nothing special and i really wish that lego had of used these parts to enhance the van. But as far as a road accessory goes its ok though im not sure why a dinosaurs tail has been used for the street light? And lastly the figs, whats to say about these that hasnt already been said? well i hadnt realised that both the batmans symbol and belt are gold. I had assumed it was yellow and from the pics i saw looked that way to me, it looks great on the fig but i do wonder why lego choose gold as in the first batman film (which this fig is based on) the symbol and belt were both yellow. Two Face is a great fig and i really love the new hairpiece even if mine does appear to be chipped, the henchmen is your standered lego face and not really anything special. Overall i find this set to be great and my only complaints would be about the usage of yellow bricks and of course the size difference of the 2 vehicles. If your a batman fan then this set is a must....nuff said.

Lord *vader* to GM *yoda* .............. Excellent GM i suggest that you order the troops to begin construction of a base there at once......... We will also need a member of the empire to oversee the base once it has been completed........
-
Indeed matt all pics that are on page 2 and this one are fake, though i must say that i really like the fan version of Venom and the altered Peter Parker one.

Lord *vader* to GM *yoda* ................. What is your current status....................

The first time i ever hurt myself was when i was 7 and i fell out from a moving buses doors, back then buses over here had doors at the back and i was stood up by them but not holding onto anything. Anyway thankfully the bus was just about to stop and therefore was going very slow, all i did was break my arm which got me some time off school so you see sometimes every cloud has a silver lining :-D

Hopefully the hospital will turn up soon at your TRU yoda, mine had a few of them last night.

Hmmmmmm an interesting topic i guess, a cut above from what we usually discuss....... Ok well here goes with my story, about 8 yrs ago i had a habit of jumping down my parents stairs. I had done this since i was little and kinda got a kick out of it, one particular day i did what i always did and jumped down the stairs however unknown to me at the time my mom had dropped a few of here sewing needles at the bottom of the stairs. Unfortunatly for me she had picked up all but one and yes youve guessed it i landed on it, the damn thing went straight into the bottom of my foot, luckly for me there was enough of the needle left sticking out of my foot for me to be able to pull it out. It hurt like hell but seemed ok apart from a bruise on the bottom of my foot, so i just decided that as i got the needle out and as it seemed intact i wouldnt bother getting it looked at by a doctor. So for the next few months i went on with my normal day to day stuff, my foot seemed ok except for when i played football. Each time i did my foot would fill sore and would hurt, i just assumed it was just over use as i would play football with my friends each night. Anyway this cycle continued untill one night i went out drinking with some friends, when i got home i was completly wasted and as i took off my socks to go to bed but i noticed what looked like a spot on the side of my foot but unlike most spots this one had a sharp edge sticking out of it. As i pressed against it i saw the tip of a needle sticking out and realised that when i stood on the needle all those months ago it must of snapped in half and that i had been walking around with half of it in my foot for all those months. Luckily i was able to pull the needle out of my foot, this was possible because of how drunk i was and therefore couldnt feel pain. So there you have it folks i had a needle enter on the left side of my right foot and after a few months i had the rest come out from the top of the right side of my right foot. The doctors told me i was really lucky not to have been poisend by it and that no long term damage was done. Since then i have given up on my stair jumping and now prefer to watch where i walk.
