There is a ton more in the general forum at this very moment.

...that Baron Zemo! Too bad its just the DLC packs and not actual 'figs.

$99

I felt the same when I came out of my DA--I saw pictures and thought 'Oh crap, I missed out on that?!' I have since managed to buy two of these for less than RRP on eBay (about $90 apiece including shipping), but both were missing most of the minifigs and the cows. Still worth it, however. As a bonus one had nearly another full castle in the same box. I have since taken them apart for parts (as I do with every set), but if I had the chance to buy a third for a similar price, I wouldn't hesitate. I would actually love one to put on permanent display and change it through the seasons, it is just such a charming set. I wish I had had the sense to pick up Mill Village Raid, but I was too fresh out of my DA to really know how much I wanted to spend. Once I came around to it it was gone. Unfortunately, while the Airjitzu temple is gorgeous--even in real life, while some sets only look their best in the boxart--I feel that it is a little too pricey; $200 in one fell swoop is just a little too much for me.

I looked at a TRU near where I work, to no avail. I mean, I already found all from this series that I really wanted, but a 2 for $5 deal is hard to pass up...

pronto!

Thanks judges! well, yeah, there's that... Thanks! It was a lot of fun, probably more fun than many of my recent AG builds. I didn't even get mad when things kept popping off of it! Thanks! Of course its, uh...not olive. (see below) Thanks judges! well, yeah, there's that...

Back in the CUUSOO days it seems like they explained why things didn't pass review (i.e. the Winchester). IIRC, that's where the guidelines first originated. Of course, they didn't batch-review things then, either. Seems like once they put things into review deadlines and batches they stopped giving the whys and whynots.

I really like how clean and composed everything looks on the drone.

My parents have a bunch of these from when they cleaned out my grandma's old house. I never realized what the brand was, as none of the bricks are stamped (or are they? I don't remember) and the packaging didn't survive. Theirs are mixed with apparently a knock-off Elgo--some bricks which are compatible but a different mold, with different texture and terrible clutch. Since they are not Lego compatible, I guess I never saw them as a knock-off, nor realized there was such a difference in age--they were like Lincoln Logs or Tinkertoy in that regard--similar to Lego but altogether separate. I will have to take a closer look at them next time I visit.

That is adorable! (and practically a scale replica!) Well done! Obelix: "That was me barking, woof woof!" Asterix: "All right, you idiot, let Dogmatix out of the bag...!"

Yesterday

Location: G02, Freegate Tags: Spying, Land Vehicle In order to thwart a dangerous enemy working from within the corporation itself, MANTIS calls upon one of its best spies, Agent Blond. **************** Agent Blond, let's get right to it, shall we? General Teague, this mission had better be important. It is, I assure you. Important enough to delay my vacation? I had the condo already booked on the Torresta Riviera, with a stellar view of the lava fields. If I lose my reservation because of some daft mission on this ice ball... Relax, Blond. This mission should not detain you more than a few hours. Moments ago a few of our Spydar technicians discovered a serious threat to MANTIS integrity. Evidence indicates that Supervising Accountant Laszlowe has been selling secrets to a third party. Given our already uphill battle with PR in Andromeda, we need to make sure this is handled discreetly. He's been selling info to the Zoids, huh? We weren't sure, but as we look at the evidence we are convinced something is at work here. Additionally, our scanners picked up a signal from an unknown ship entering Freegate's atmosphere only an hour ago. Laszlowe is allegedly en route to a rendezvous with them at this very moment, and we have a D.O.R.I.S. tailing him and recording his every move. NB: Laszlowe's speeder is carried over from last week and should not be judged More pics of the ship in the spoiler: Well if you've already got surveillance, why do you need me? Just wait 'til he returns to the compound and bust him then. That is part of the plan. However, there is more to it: First, we need to verify the nature of the information Laszlowe has been peddling to determine the severity of his crimes. You know the Zoids have been called, among other things,slavers. If Laszlowe has been an accomplice to this he must be tried as a war criminal, for justice's sake and to let Andromeda know that we condemn such atrocities. You must retrieve that information. Second, apprehend Laszlowe. Our team here will do that when he returns, so your job is to simply stay out of his sight so that he suspects nothing. Third, identify the information's intended recipient with a dummy tracer. If we can find out who this information is destined for... ...it will let us know if the Zoids at large are really slavers... ...or if there are just some rogues among them committing these crimes. Precisely. So: infiltrate, transmit the data back here for verification, replace the files with a tracer, and stay out of sight. Any questions? Yeah, if things go pear-shaped with me and the Zoids...? You must not engage them if at all possible. Until we at sure who it is we are actually dealing with, we cannot afford to take such bold action. However, you are authorized the use of force if necessary for you make it back. Good luck, Agent Blond. **************** And so Agent Blond set out on a daring quest to put a stop to Laszlowe's nefarious dealings. Speeding across the tundra to the rendezvous, Blond whirled the speeder around, and dashed aboard the mysterious ship just in time... **************** First things first: I have to retrieve that data. Establishing uplink to MANTIS secure channel...transmitting...replacing files with tracer...done! And now I've got to get off of this ship undetected, and get back to my Torrestan cruise.!..what the...?! But what Agent Blond saw on the ship was beyond anything imagined... Good heavens! It's true, these guys are slavers. Running their operation right under our noses! The Zoids can't be allowed to take them back to their wicked abode! I must hurry before the ship takes off! And so Agent Blond set about quickly trying to free the Zoids' victims from their cruel captors, when suddenly... ...where did you come from? *ZHWOOP* **************** To be continued...

Ok, so last week's awesome dino mech was just a warm-up for this week's even awesomererer dino mech? I can't wait to see what the king looks like

Yeah, she probably has a pretty good head for that kind of thing. Love the story, and the underground tram system is pretty sweet

Ah! I see that Actor Builder's spam poetry has been deemed important enough to merit its own thread in the Community section! (or banished there...)
