Athos

I too like the waterfall. I don't, however, like the ghost. He seems too cartoony for the atmosphere you're working at. Steve

Does it have to be a new MOC? Because I have several old MOCs involving fruit... including this one that looks an awful lot like the first prize... Not to mention these: The Vintner And a Winery A Monkey Banana Plane The Great Pumpkin Carving a Pumpkin Forbidden Fruit William Tell And this guy who was kind of fruity... Steve

I really like the bar and the barrel holder. Steve

Looks almost too similar to the toy shop. I wish they'd done a little more differentiation with it. Still it looks like a nice little set. I hope they continue with these, so we can have a whole little Christmas village. Steve

Looks very nice. I'll probably have to pass, since such a large set is not in my budget with all the other cool stuff coming out. I'd like to see all these sets displayed together. Steve

I thought this project might be of interest to you all: Old Sets by Athos Steve

A worker at the Sacramento, California Lego Store told me that Series 1 was done and they were sold out and not getting anymore. She also said that Series 2 would be beginning in a few months, but they didn't have an exact date yet. A TRU employee also confirmed they had been sold out and hadn't gotten anymore in for several shipments. Steve

If you find a cheaper source, I'd like to know too. Personally, I'm hoping this set will be on clearance at some point or another. Steve

I think it was originally softer than the usual parts. Steve

... SUCKS. And sucks big time. I've been playing with Lego for 25+ years and recently had a daughter, who got her first Duplo set (we'll have to save it until she gets older, but the point is, I have been a loyal customer for a long time and am hoping to continue in the same and new ways) and I spend upwards of USD $1,000 every year on Lego. I stuck it out through the grey & brown colors changing and the mismatched purple from the Knight's Bus set. I recently got a complete set of these figures. I was very excited... until I opened the first few bags... I was horribly disappointed with the quality of the plastic in these figures. I haven't been one to complain about the figure quality in the past (I thought people were overreacting) but these figures are the worst quality I have ever encountered. The legs feel loose, like they're going to break off if I move them at all. The plastic also isn't up to your usual standards; if I didn't know better, I'd think I'd been swindled into buying a cheap knock-off brand from China (shifty-bricks, anyone?). The color looks wrong too... The cowboy hat looks nearly transparent in places. As does Robin Hood's cap. The bow and quiver feel cheap and poorly made. For paying $2 per figure, I am very disappointed. This is a horrible step in the complete wrong direction for Lego. I loved the idea of this line and loved the design of the figures and was very excited about the whole line. But now I am very very disappointed. I was seeking multiples of many of the figures, but think I'll have to pass, given their poor quality. I hope this issue can be resolved before the 2nd wave of these figures, or I may, regretably, have to pass on those too. I can only hope this shoddy work doesn't spread to the usual sets. Thank you, Steve P.S. Please everyone, don't just respond; email Lego about this as well... People with blogs, take up this issue too! Let's innundate Lego customer service with complaint calls, letters and emails!

How do you get ZZ Top to vacation with you? Steve

Visit Yosemite with Johnny. Steve

entertainmentearth.com is selling cases. I ordered one, but it hasn't shipped yet. So I can't vouch for the site. Steve

Its a little too black. You should accent it with dark grey. Particularly around the statutes above the gates. I think it will make them stand out more. Steve

That's a funny one. Steve

Barbarian hordes with Boar insignia. Maybe a Bear faction to fight them? Steve

I love the Mexican. The beret will be nice. Disco Stu is cool too. Pharoah and the Greek look nice too. The trophy is a nice piece. The surfer, Pamela Anderson, the vampire, witch, weighlifter, and policeman are all kind of meh... Steve

Nice. The ony think I don't like is the red door. Steve

Some good ideas in there. I like the Scarecrow, the Pilgrim, the Frontiersman, Bride and Groom, the Hippie, the Geisha I really like the artist idea, the organ grinder and Sherlock Holmes. Steve

I'm horribly disappointed (though not surprised) that the Lego sets are only stickers. I'd have definitely bought this set if they were printed bricks. Since they're stickers, though, I'm going to pass. Steve

The success of the creator line (which have no figures) should, at least somewhat, answer your question. I'm not much of a fan of the increased detail in the figures. They don't fit well with the simpler printing of the prior figures. I think there is a magnet set with him in it coming out soon, which could save you some money. Steve

Does the pig open up to get the coins out? Does he come with a hat, or what is that hole in his head for? Steve

That's great that the tile is printed. Steve
