LEGO in Film & TV: Index of Appearances
SweetiePie88 replied to Izzy's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Wait a sec? The woman did unikitties voice? Didnt know that. Honestly I hated the perfomance so much. The music they used was the horrible sounding robot sounding version of the song and the props looked like they were designed for an elementary school talent show. And its not like they have to rely on bringing their own stuff Unless the rules changed from the last episode to this one. The lip synchers have full access to props, costumes, and backup singers. I dont know if theres a limit to how many back up singers they can use but i do know with the jf vs dj episode, they used more then i normally see. Average backup number is 4 but DJ had 6 and JF had a stage full for some weird number. They were in clothes that kind of look like some weird church choir thing and if im counting right, theres FORTY on the stage. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 14 Rumors and Discussion
SweetiePie88 replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Why r y'all complaining about a skateboarder? The last cmf we had that had a skateboard was Simpson wave 1 about a year ago and b4 that was wave 6 regular line. I want to get the book, especially for a new skateboarder -
Still waiting for a Louisiana one. I thought that it was 5 years and counting that I've been waiting for an là one. I was wrong. It's been at least 6 years I've been wanting one in la and 3 years, 3.5 months since my last Lego store trip.

Seeking Advice On Sorting Minifigures
SweetiePie88 replied to SEE AR AR THREE's topic in General LEGO Discussion
For my parts, I got a small desktop sterelite drawer set. Top drawer is female hats and overall headgear. Guess my male hair is still over in the çmf parts ziplocs. Second is standard caps, regular helmets and partial minifigures. There's 2 just head and headgear, 5 missing head and headgear, and one assembled figure that needs to go in a different set of drawers. Drawer three are heads stacked together w/ other heads of the same type and put on 1x plates to keep it easier for me to look for them. There's 6 just stacked together, not matching, tossed in since I haven't had time to sort them. Next is my torsos, just loose. Last are legs, also loose. Then I have the çmf container. Heads r in 1 bag, headgear in another, torsos in another, legs in another, and accessories in the final one. I am going to be looking into adding the parts in w/ my little tower b4 to long. -
Except for the fact all they would do is throw more free figures at me and claim they are going to pass on the complaints to the appropriate group, I'd email them again. I finally had time to take a look at the free figures better. Lisa and Homer are both suffering from the same loose head issue as moleman and frink and on top of that Edna, the other Homer I have and waylon that had proper clutch has clutch that is loosening up closer to the problem as the other figures I'm having trouble with.

At post 1001. Yea I noticed that w/ him but if its anything like my other figures, the clutch will loosen fast. I had great clutch w/ most of the heads except 2 frinks and a moleman but I'm noticing my other Simpson heads are loosening up to. Unless they come out w/ something REALLY good w/ wave 3, if there is one, like an ottoman or skinner, I'm skipping the next wave.

Bags just got here! Bag 1, CBG which i really love! Bag 2, Bartman which i'm not wild about but i love the torso and legs. Bag 3... Assembled for now but will be for parts later, homer. Bag 4 is lisa, might be in the same catagory as Bag 2 but i'm not sure. Not wild about 3 of the figures but since A) i didn't get any martin prince's and B) i can find a use for the parts, might put the head on stakes in my minecraft mine LMAO; i am not complaining. However it'll be a while b4 i can put them on my lego wall, if i choose to put any up, since i am out of 2 x 2/2 x 2 brackets.

* checks email * Got any email from them. Umm... Wow. Talk about overkill from Lego. Due to the mess up on their part, they are sending out a new order of 4 figures. Way more then I expected. All I was expecting was an apology and the 2 figures missing from the order. Correction. They HAVE sent out. Just got an email alert on my tablet. That was fast! The first emails arrival time stamp was just afternoon and the shipping alert came in at 3:10.

Hold on. How is it abusing the parts system??? The first pair of replacements were a result of 2 figures w/ bad head clutch. When the replacements came in and I had yet another bad head, a second frink, I emailed them and explained my case. NEVER did I once even say in that email I wanted a replacement but instead I said in said email that they need to do more testing on head molds b4 oking them for use. In the email I got back from them, they said they were going to send out 3 figures but I only got in one. All I want is what the promised me.

1) i'm a female, not male and 2) what i wanted was just to get the 3 freebies they promised me. If i got the 3 and had problems w/ clutch, i would of giving up at that point. But when i open a package and discover that i'm 2 packs short, then i will say something to them I would but the biggest part of the problem is that having to start w/ that route would mean i'd have to burn up at least 15-20 minutes of phone time. Would be fine if i had unlimited but since i have a tracphone, i don't really want to start burning up that much time.

OK, now I'm ticked off. The package got here and I'm having to email them AGAIN. There's supposed to be 3 figures in my order and there's only one inside. Judging by the feel, it's a marge.

I don't have much hope tbh. People have been having more and more problems on CMF quality lately. It seems like Lego's solution is to just throw free packs at people and claim they are going to pass on complaints.

Got a response back from lego. Due to the continuing problems i'm having, they are sending out 3 free figures.

Do they bother doing proper tests on new molds for the Made in china stuff anymore? Recently got some simpsons wave 2 figures. had to email about 2 replacements since the frink head and moleman heads were not clutching right. I got in 2 random bags and got a willie and another frink. that frinks head is to loose too. @ post 41 Squashed part. its a very rare find in ones sets but something that people love to find.

Having to email Lego, again. Got a frink and Willie in the 2 freebie packs and this frink has a too loose head too.

Parts Lego didn't need to make
SweetiePie88 replied to Takanuinuva's topic in General LEGO Discussion
"A plate with studs both sides seems to be the one thing on everyone's wish list yet has never been made by Lego." agreed. i used up the only few mega block 1x2 gender benders i had on the baseplate on my wall and i need more at some point. For now, i'm going to have to resort to the 1x2 plate, 1x2 brick, and half pin method when it gets to that point. -
Got to go to the store again. Decided to get a smithers but br check out time, I double checked at least 4 times that it was the right one. Just opened it and it was Smithers.

Picked up 3 more but i screwed up. I should of gotten 2 CMG's and a smithers but when i was putting figures back in the box at the store, i accidently put smithers back and put a homer into the basket. Didn't realize it until after i got home and opened it up. While i am upset w/ the mix-up, at least it wasn't a martin prince since he's my least wanted character. His doofy minifigure face would give me nightmares. Haven't decided if i'll try seeking about smithers but maybe the freebies will pan out.

I picked up 3 the other day. A frink, Edna, and moleman. Hopefully going to seek cbg and smothers today but that's probably going to be it until I find them on sale. 2 out of the 3 packs I got had heads that weren't clutching as well as they should. Had to email them and they are sending out 2 random packs.

Some people over on ACC are rooting for AC Wii U to be announced. Honestly i'm not in a rush for another AC to come out since the last 2 games were disappointing and now there's a spin-off that's pretty much just a scam to milk people out of their money. From what i'm seeing is its either going to cost us 30 dollars(just the game for those w/ the N3DS or N3DS XL ) or 40(bundle w/ the reader for those w/ just the O3DS XL). Then from what i'm able to find out about it, not all the game is going to be unlocked so you'll have to start playing 2.50 for 3 RANDOM amiibo cards and it's going to have 100 different ones to collect. Uh. Yea. Can we say "people opening packs in stores so they won't get duplicates"? Genius move nintendo! If i had the money to spend on random packs of something, i wouldn't get cards, i'd just buy random Simpson CMF packs. At least i'd have some use for most of the duplicates out there.

Its a problem for those that just want to try the game or don't see the game as worth a buy. I tried getting into the game at least 3 times but i couldn't since i got so bored w/ it. The First time was as closed beta. I quit b/c i was stuck in pirate cove and they were wanting me to run the lame pirate trials thing again but i couldn't get into that section to do it and the other section needed a group of people to stand a chance but there were literally only like 2 or 3 others i saw around earlier but hadn't seen them since. Next time was in open and i had to do the tutorial all over again and i tried getting past the trials and couldn't and once again no one around to help. i gave it one final big effort just to discover that the final battle on the trials hardness had been jacked way up w/ no hopes of me winning and they blocked the chat out for people that weren't paying so i couldn't ask for help for the other part.

What was the last movie you watched?
SweetiePie88 replied to EbonHawk's topic in Culture & Multimedia
last movie would be that new jurassic world movie. Main motive for going was i knew we'd hit walmart afterwards and i wanted to hunt for simspon figures. I didn't really care for the movie at all. I enjoyed the jurassic park movies but JW is kind of lame. They focused WAY to much on special effects and not enough on a good story line. It was like i was watching the lego movie all over again! It was a 2 hour movie but it felt like i was trapped in the theater for 4 hours! i got up to go make a head call twice during the movie, main motive was so i wouldn't fall asleep from boredom or be tempted to pull out my XL and start playing super mario land 2. -
I heard its not uncommon to use cheap colors for fillers though other things like clone brand parts, discolored/cracked, and even duplo are common options.

What are ya'lls favorite method to repurposing a set?
SweetiePie88 replied to SweetiePie88's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I was originally thinking about going w/ the part out and store method but then id have to start hunting through several containers to find everything. Whatever i choose to do w/ the set, i was going to try and wait to crack the seal's when i know what to do w/ it. -
My uncle recently surprised me w/ "the first night". Problem is that i don't need the set since i already recreated the set from stuff from my collection a month ago. I know i could just return the set, even w/o a reciept, at walmart and put the money on the side to put towards the desert hideaway set a do want but the problem is that i don't want to start explaining why i returned it. Problem is i'm drawing a blank on what to do w/ the thing b/c at a later date they got the spare cave set i asked them about and that set already will provide nearly all the parts i need for a minecraft project whenever I start building again. The only parts for that i'd have to pull from my collection are the 1x2 smokey bricks, extra torches, couple hinges(or a door piece), and i'm going to need some tiles and a few plates for the roof. The only parts from TFN that i can think of that i can of a use for right away are the torches to use in the mine, the figures(creeper and steve) to use in the mine since my only steve and zombie are duking it out on my first cave set, and maybe walking off w/ some of the larger brown bricks for the mine i recreated last month since i ran out of 2x4/2x6's to recreate the big 2x10 brown brick "logs". If i actually had a project In mind, besides the one i previously mentioned, that i could use it for, this thing could probably be used up in a matter of hours. Problem is that i'm currently taking a break from legos for the most part so i could focus on a few videos games(tetris, sims bustin out GBA, and might start luigis mansion again) so i haven't built in about 2 weeks now.
