Thanks Ratshot :) I would like to take house 30 if it's still available then? I checked the list and the posts, I think it's the only small house left. If that isn't available then I'll take any one of the others. Feel free to pick a winner for me. :D I have some ideas and I'm sure I can ask someone on the board for help if I should come to any troubles. :) I got the Lego Cad program to test in. t I have some money burning a hole in my pocket and I'm going to the Lego shop to buy a ship. Brickbeard's Bounty and the Imperial Flagship. That will be good inspiration.

This is awesome! I'm going to show this to my friend who loves Russian culture. She will like this too. I really like how everyone is about doing their thing and the building is fantastic. The colors are very nice and it all goes well together. I love that photo outside too haha nice little addition pic there! It really shows how big that MOC is. Puts it into perspective. Great idea with photographing it outside in the bright white snow area. What do people in your house say about the MOC? Cause that thing is huge! It looks like a work of art. One little suggestion to your Lego people. Make sure one of them locked the side door to the hotel. We wouldn't want anyone falling to there doom off the end of the flat world.

This is such a great fun idea! I wish I could be a part of it but I'm not sure how good it would be since I'm kinda new to Lego since childhood. I do have a 16x16 base too right here lol it came with the pink Lego 405pc brick tub I bought for my niece but we use a 32x32 I bought. I would love to do this if someone designed one in the program, like someone posted earlier, I'd definitely make an order for the parts. But all the blocks look like they are going fast and some people have their MOCs almost done. Just a little suggestion: :) Maybe next time their could be some blocks/squares that could be designed by someone and then built by another. Sort of like a team effort. I love all the MOCs people post on this site and I'd love to make some of them. It would be fun and help me learn.

That is really awesome! Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays. I love haunted houses and this one is awesome! I really want the Movie Studio Frankenstein's Laboratory one but it's expensive on eBay now. Anyway, that thing is awesome and I'm sure whoever gets it is going to be very delighted! That thing must cost a ton of money to put together.

Computer bug, the furry one is you right? j/k That is a kool picture. Ferrets are awesome!

Because a big saw blade can cut up some mighty mofos! More Power! <insert Tim Allen ape grunts>

That's not it either, as my computer is a beast and I build my own. I run EQ2 and Vanguard on high settings and if you can do that it means your computer might be a beast too! As these games choke up even the best. I also run on Comcast cable which is purdy fast! I did find out what the dilly is though. I use Firefox and it seems that this particular feature page has problems opening a pdf from that page. I tried it with internet explorer and it opened up right away. I also tried it with Opera and it opened right away. So for me it's Firefox. I run Firefox with a script blocker but it's set to allow all on the Lego site. No biggie either way. Just thought I'd report back in case this might be the reason for others experiencing similar.

EDIT I named this post wrong. Mods feel free to fix. I meant it to be named like other reviews like this: Review: 8968 Agents 2.0 River Heist Lego Agents 2.0 8968 River Heist Welcome to my first Lego review! This set was put under the Christmas Tree by me & my 6yrs old niece along with 8967 Gold Tooth's Getaway. THEME: LEGO Agents / AGES: 7-14 / PIECES: 203 / PRICE U.S. $15 on sale at S@H (But we got it for 50% off at Sears during a mysterious morning sale...) Minifigs: 3 = Agent Fuse, Dollar Bill, & Dyna-Mite SPECIAL FEATURES:> # Agent Waterjet is equipped with 2 flick fire missiles! You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!! SPECIAL FEATURES:> # Super Airboat propeller spins when the boat moves! (I didn't even know about this till we built the gear system) SPECIAL FEATURES:> # Super Airboat measures 6" x 4" inches wide! That's what she said!....wait..er..I'm usually the one who hates it when people say that after everything! ^The box cover comic strip clues you in on what's just occurred. The bad guys...er..guy and girl, are pulling a bank heist! They proceed to blow the safe door open to find a ton of cash! But just like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, they put too much dynamite & blow up most of the money! So they decided to rob the safe too! I mean literally! They steal the entire physical safe! Those things are expensive ya know. They quickly made haste while remembering to bend at the knees & lift with the legs as to avoid bad back issues. You can see by the big picture that they are in Paris France with a "Super Airboat" AKA the Hovercraft, in the canal as the getaway vehicle. Most of the unburnt safe money was blown away but they manage to save three crisp one-hundred dollar bills...er...Franks. An agent nearby hearing the bank alarm, took off to make chase in his blue jet-ski armed with "flick' fire missiles" that hurt your fingers. But not to worry because the bad guy & girl have 30 second time bombs to blow up that sharply dressed in Navy blue, agent. - - ^Introductions beginning from the left to right: In this compilation picture of pictures, you'll find front & rear views of those featured in this action packed adventure. Also note, the left over parts pic squeezed in. Dollar Bill He is well dressed with his suave green hair on his head & gold gun in hand. This stylish suite N' tie evil grinning guy, with a diamond sparkling eye, is still described as debonair by the ladies. Check the dollar signs! Dyna-Mite And don't forget it! With her flaming manic panic red dominatrix hair style, this fire cracker kicks but & looks good doin it! Her jacket proudly display her gang affiliate logo with no apologies! Dollar Bill may be top dollar but without her pyrotechnic skills for the big money jobs, he'd be behind on mortgage payments. Check the shades! And last but not least, though may as well be, batting for the good guys is... Agent Fuse Dressed in the usual Navy Blue Agents outfit, this guy has a nickname that could only be gotten by working for the Agents ATF bomb unit division. But judging by facial expression, you might as well call him, General peepee pants go cry home to ya momma! ^Now let's get to work here! We got 2 big bags & 2 small bags. The little munchkin can't wait to start building. I had to take a picture quick before the bags were torn open! ^After building figures as per the instructions, we build the safe. Ignore the black 2x4 studded plate there, we fixed it later. This is one of those instances where it's tough to tell whether the instructions cal for dark gray, dark blue gray, or black. ^Next is the Jet Ski, Water Ski, or Ski-doo, whatever you wanna call it. An agents sticker is put on and the build is quick. ^Last page page of Jetski build shows a rough example of how to operate flick fire missiles. Lego, knowing of our litigious society, never forgetting to cover ones buttocks, included the "do not shoot at eyes" warning symbol. For some reason though, in America at least, this often causes kids to do the opposite and begin to aim at their brother's eyes. Darn it, does that mean I can't sue the Lego company now and claim no responsibility? Moving on... ^Now onto the Super Airboat. We Americans call it a Hovercraft but some southern states rednecks on the Bayou sometimes call it a gatorboat. Often used in swamps. It is half regular Legos and half technic. The rubber wheels are on a geared horizontal axle which turns when the vehicle is pushed. This causes a vertical shaft to rotate along with gears that spin the fan blade propeller. ^The bottom of the boat holds together by a nice one piece rectangular technic brick. You can also notice that Agent Fuse is lying down on the job. ^Here is the building of the gears. You can also see 2 flaming skull bad guy logo stickers. ^The boat bottom has 2 wheels which push the gears which will rotate the fan blade. Which falls off a lot. Ignore the misplaced antenna. ^As you can see the safe has a little pallet area on the boat that will hold the safe. Conveniently, Agent Fuse has a stud on his armor that makes volunteering to load it on for them, an easy task! Agent Fuse, lift with the legs! With the legs Fuse! Not the back! Ahhh, well forget it, I'm sure his government has good health care to recommend the best chiropractor. ^LAST THOUGHTS & OPINIONS We had fun building this set. Well my niece built most, I gathered the parts list, and helped with the technic elements. I really liked the minifigs in this set! They are way kool! I never had minifigs like this as a kid. Some people love the old stuff, I can't seem to take apart all this new stuff we build. Great designs. The 2 bad guys might have to join the Dwarves, Werewolf, & Brickbeard for some of my fav minifigs. The girl's hair is especially awesome. Look at the back to see how it is detailed so take a close look at it. I have a couple goth friends who have the same hairstyle color and all. EXAMPLE: A and B. VEHICLE PROS: The boat is really neat how it has the gears. Good future use at least for me since I have a power functions kit. The color scheme is great. Nice Spongebob bright orange mixed with black and grays. The Jetski thing is alright. The safe is neat with the platform holding it on the boat. Boat is pretty neat! Nice bomb holding areas. For $15 on sale currently at S@H I think it's a good deal. Has that re hairstyle ever been used before? What's that style called anyway? VEHICLE CONS: Fan blade is held on by a single stud and falls off. I don't understand why it wasn't connected using an axle with a bushing on the end to prevent it from coming off. During play, the antenna also falls off but no biggie, we threw it aside. The Jet ski flick fire missile holders turn and rotate in random directions which makes it difficult to flick where you're aiming, or to flick it at all. It would have been better if they stayed forward. I personally thought the jet ski looked better before we put those things on it. ------- Thank you for reading. Comments appreciated. - - NOTES: This review took me a long time to put together. Especially since the power went out just before I hit post. I luckily had backed up most of it in txt file. Also, I did a search for review and set number but didn't see it done yet a few days ago. Then today I see a post that lists reviews which has this set in there along with multiple reviews on some sets. So I'm going to post it and hope that is okay. I've been trying to do a review but seems as everything is taken and surprisingly, the U.S. is not getting sets as fast as you Euros.

Looks great and I love the video. Did you just get a new camera or something? I see you started adding videos. They are great too. Very well done.

I've heard people talk about this rare occurrences but it's never happened to me though I just got back into Lego building. One thing that is kinda weird though, I'm suprised that you didn't notice until you build everything else. When we pour out the bags from the box, the first thing we at my house notice is the coolest parts of the set which is the figures heads and body parts. It's the first thing we put together just like in the instructions. Me and my niece just built 2 agents sets today and first thing we noticed was the figs especially in the agents sets because the bad guys are so kool. I bought my brother the 4 wheeling one you got, for Christmas but he hasn't put it together yet. The car looks really nice with the suspension. It's a nice big car too. I don't know what else you can do if you have already called the Lego company. It's strange that the minifigs would be missing specifically. Are you sure no other pieces were missing? Did you get extras of any other pieces? I actually film my unboxings so if that ever happened I'd go back over the tape. lol I'm editing video to make reviews.

I don't know what you need them for but if you are asking for lots of Legos on this forum then my guess is that you already know about the usual places and are looking for cheap priced deals. I myself just got back into Lego over a month or so ago and need lots of random Lego bricks. The cheapest place I've found to get them is on Craigslist. Other then that, you can try eBay. Like someone else mentioned, timing and strategy will tell you what deal you get. They usually go for $5 to $10 US a pound. $5 is usually regular Legos while $10 can be a mix of exclusive licenses for example you may see a listing that says, "20 pound lot of Legos various mix Harry Potter, Star Wars, & more." Just watch the market and you will get an idea for prices. Their is someone who sells used Legos that she sanitizes very well multiple times. Then their is another regular seller that sells a mix of regular Legos and Star Wars. I think the person buys tubs of regular Legos and multiple Millinium Falcons, and mixes them together for a nice mix then sells in numbers such as 750+ pieces. I personally have not bought any yet but I've been meaning to. Just been so busy buying and building sets with my 6yrs old niece. I have gotten great deals on craigslist for sets.

For me $75 US is good to get a free sharkman keychain. I'm definitely going to spend that much and get a free keychain. I still got to go back for spending over $75 last month and getting a free Pick-a-brick box shaped like a house equal to the size of a small cup. :)

My power functions order hasn't moved in tracking since 1am last night :/ I was hoping it would come today. Does UPS deliver tomorrow on the new years day? It's almost here but stopped moving since it's gotten to Chelmsford, MA. http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/process...0&track.y=0

For some reason if you try to open a PDF on the Lego site by clicking the download button, it stalls and never opens. Which is why I mention right clicking and selecting save as. But I see you figured it out now. :)

Wow this is a really nice car! I like how you used those technic pieces that people often use for steering, on the grill! I especially love how it fits 4 yes FOUR minifigs! I rare site in Lego cars which often makes me sad that most Lego cars are 1 seaters. I notice that they made that big 2 seater carrage piece to fix that but still never a 4 seater around. The girl in the trunk was funny because of the expression it went so well. We have the Gold Tooth's set unopened. We might put it together today. I noticed that you have room to seat one more and the gold baby t-rex is missing. Might want to put him in there lol

I kinda feel bad saying this but I don't really like this set much. When I saw your pic of it without the wheels and claws, right away I thought it looked much better that way. Which is kind of a coincidence that the previous 2 posters said the same. I like your review. It's just the power miners wheels and claws looks weird to me on it. Especially 3 wheeled.

Nice comics! Nice review too. I been wanting to get one of these to have a vehicle with the rubber tracks and the orange pieces in Power Miners look like nice pieces to have. We have a couple small power miners sets at my house which we haven't put together yet. Maybe I'll make a first review too.

3? Where is the 3rd one? I know of the one in the Burlington Mall. Then their is one in Natick. Where is another one? Which one is the best? I usually got to the one in the Burlington Mall.

The only choice you have is pdf from the Lego site. Put in the set number, submit. Then click the directions and right click save as, over the download button.

That sure is a lot of yellow buts! LOL! Is that pool a 1 piece Lego pool? Or is it built out of many Lego bricks? Looks like one piece from the picture it is tough to tell.

Playmobil often has some great characters and toy sets for young children. Whenever someone is looking for a toy for a very young child I often reccommend Playbil's sets when someone isn't up to buying Lego Duplo. I had a girlfriend once who's mother ran a daycare and she had some really nice sets. She had a pirates set with a big ship and it shot cannon balls. I've always got along well with kids since I consider myself one big kid, and while waiting for my girlfriend at the time to get ready, I'd be playing with the little kids and the pirate ship characters.

I was in the music video for the band Reveille which was on MTV, although I didn't see the video itself for years later. The band is originally from Chelmsford, MA and the video was shot in Lowell, MA in front of the Songas Arena. They brought a bunch of cars from the junkyards to put in front so the band could stand on and rock out. I was a stand in for one of the guys on the car so they could do the lighting. Have you ever wondered how bands on music videos jump and dance on top of cars safely without falling? They ingeniously spray an M3 Adheasive on the hood and roof so your feet never slip. Then along with others I sweated my but off dancing, moshing, rockin out. But goodluck finding me because every shot lasts less then 3 seconds which greatly disappointed me. The cute girl in the blue shirt at 04 second mark, I remember her being right next to me. When you watch the beginning it says, "16 hours of 100 degree heat with fans" and that is no joke. We were there for many many hours! No one got paid or credit, and they never even asked anyone to sign any release forms. But hey, we do it for the love of music and not the money or fame. Incidentally, it always annoys me how MTV videos always have 1 second frames going from this to that like a drunk roller coaster ride. Gets me dizzy just watching this video. I'm in there somewhere in front of the steps near the girl in the blue with the blond hair tied at 4 seconds mark. Goodluck trying to find me though. I watched this video for almost 2 hours once trying to find myself and pausing a lot. Maybe if I had a full res version I could. A bit frustrating but oh well... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1c0vy_re...t-you-got_music You can tell I'm still bitter about it though lol

Here's a quick pick of me and Zombie Girl friend at a Combichrist show. Notice the VIP pass hehehe ;)

I'm pretty sure I've seen those before. We have a couple shops here in Boston that sometimes have them and I've seen plenty of steel heel boots online. Also the purple flames I've seen. I think you are from the UK right? By Doccers I'm guessing you mean Doc Martins AKA Dr. Martins boots. Hehehe I got it. I think it's just an old joke people don't say anymore because in the old days, "Your mother wears army boots!" was an insult because it was an older dirty roughed up old poor woman with dirty boots. These days if your mother wears boots she's probably a hot MILF and all the school kids are drooling when she drops off her son! So it's not exactly an insult anymore haha :D Kind of a funny coincidence but speaking of 21, Peppermint's join date is last year 21 which is my birthday hehe which was a few days ago too.

Now I've seen a MOC of everything! That is hilarious! The forum is 18 plus *shrugs* You should put a video of them on youtube! Hehehe
