Woah! Did not expect a new hairpiece; it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the gargoyle one would be reused instead. For the legs, in terms of reusability they could make a new hip piece that connects to torsos, but has handles for legs (like skeleton legs) to clip onto. The hip piece could be reused in a dozen different situations, with new leg molds as TLG saw fit, and then the only part specific to this CMF would be a goat-leg piece that would fit both left and right. Also, the legs could then be used in other instances, like how black skeleton feet show up in all kinds of sets nowadays with different uses. Although, I think the whole situation is unlikely, but if I was TLG, that is how I would do it. Personally, I am hoping for pan pipes. Musical instruments are severely lacking in Lego form so I'll take any that I can get.

Arendelle keeps looking better and better. I love the glitter-trans-lt--blue pieces, the white leaves, and all the printed stuff (stickers in this would be okay too, they would be pretty versatile!). Anna's Arendelle hair looks really good. I have no real opinion about the reindeer, other than that if I would get this set cheaper in the secondary market without him, I would. There aren't any real standout pieces from that set (although it is nice to see the Unikitty horn be repurposed yet again in another color), but overall it looks nice and the sled looks pretty well-designed. They need some kind of bigdoll for Kristoff, because he just doesn't look good as a minidoll. Good thing they didn't bother making Oaken, or it would have looked even worse.

great

Impressive terrain here, and of course a very entertaining story

Thanks for the comments! Yeah, I had intended to pick up where I left off with last week's story, but I got to messing around with these parts (the silver 4x4 macaronis and black arches)and discovered that these fit together perfectly. The JW gyroshere was conveniently sitting nearby. Next thing I knew, I was building a prison cell It is actually supposed to be for cellblock 'B'. I chose to ignore the Blacktron connection for this build.

Rats. I was hoping for a Jar-Jar.

I believe it's called metallic silver, and yes all the sloped/curved I have seen are plagued with that issue. At least it seems like they all have the defect uniformly.

Location: E01 (Donwarr) *Topic title should be "Meanwhile..." Tags: none Where we left off. Meanwhile, in orbit around Donwarr, in Supervising Accountant Laszlowe's office: AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr <beep> <beep> <beep> "This is Laszlowe. Yes. Yes. Now? Finally. I'll be down right away." <Ten minutes later> AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr "Name and badge." "Supervising Accountant Laszlowe, I am here to see prisoner number 0908ScSt5." "Yeah, here's your clearance. Down on the left, cell block B." "Thank you." AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr "There you are. I understand you are finally willing to talk?" AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr "I'll talk, but not to you. I need to talk to Scorpio." (Picture without the lens:) AG Week 21 by rodiziorobs, on Flickr To be continued... ************ Light on story this week, but I figured it was about time to pick up this thread I dropped several weeks ago. For those who have been following along, this is the woman who first clocked Scorpio when he was spying on Octan, and subsequently was captured by M.A.N.T.I.S. when the prison transport they were on crashed on Aeristus due to a gate malfunction. C&C welcome!

Dark elves would be nice--it might give us a chance to make up for not getting any sets from Thor:TDW. Even if they don't look like those, it is a concept TLG could definitely work with and put out some nice 'figs.

And here's mine as well! It was good to build pirate stuff again, thanks Phred and any other EB staffers for putting this contest together!

(This first picture is for the polling image, but it is repeated as a part of the story below, where indicated.) Simian genocide by rodiziorobs, on Flickr The tale I am about to tell you is one of absolute horror, of completely unthinkable cruelty. "Is the trap set, Stevens?" "Aye, cap'n. 'Tis ready." "How long must we wait?" "Won' be long now, cap'n. 'N keep your voice down, don' want to scare the lit'l blighter off." "You are certain this is the last of them?" "Yes sir, quite certain. 'Been trackin' him for days. He's all that's left." Suddenly they saw the poor creature up ahead in the clearing. "Ok, keep quiet now, here he comes!" Stevens urged. The beast approached swiftly, yet with caution all the same; nothing was more suspicious than food left so easily in the open. At the same time, nothing was so readily accepted. He crept closer and closer still. Now the prize was almost within reach. "Shoot him, Stevens! Don't let him get away!" "Shhhh! Not yet!" The beast stopped. Had it heard something? Stevens wasn't sure, but he couldn't let this moment pass. He sprang from the underbrush, pistol in hand, the captain close behind. A single report rang out from the barrel, a single report to let him know he had hit his mark. (Same picture as polling image posted above) "Well done, Stevens." "Thank you, sir. It was my utmost pleasure." "Well now the real cruelty can begin. Gabby? Gabby!" Gabriel came up from behind, lugging a heavy cage through the tall grass. "Here, sir! I heard the shot and must say, I never thought me eyes would see this marvelously horrible day!" "Yes, that's enough now Gabby. The time has come!" "On yer word, sir." "Unleash the horrors!" "Aye, cap'n!" And with that, Gabby unlocked the cage and set free upon the world some of the most vile creatures imaginable, with the earth never more to see the sweet innocent race the captain had just wiped from its face. And that, children, is why you never get monkeys in your LEGO© sets anymore. ***************************************************** Both of these vignettes are part of my 16x16 entry, built together on the same plate: Simian genocide by rodiziorobs, on Flickr There is some overhang from the palm tree nearest the corner.

, Borat,

The toyinsider link above has this set description which I love: "The set includes five scannable shields for NEXO Powers: Ground Power, Super Human Speed, Hawk Holler, Chicken Power and Charging Attack." You can see the shields on the corner of the boxart. Chicken power (!)...I think I need this set just for this, not to mention all the magnificent dark blue and scads of new part designs.

That headdress is fantastic--some brilliant parts usage with a wonderful result.
