Happy Birthday! Glad you had a good time... Too bad about the no LEGO thing, though. But, well, the Wii is indeed a great temporary replacement. :-D Sinner, that is sick :-P As would say a golden droid we all know and love : "ooh! I can't bear to watch" X-D

Well, that was the main objective, really : to have exactly the same fig, only bigger. I'm quite happy with the result. I did it. It works great! thanks for the idea. *y*

Actually, I was looking for that one too... When I finish building a set, I turn it around and around and again to see what I can modify to improve the look of it and only whan that's done I put it on a bookshelf to collect dust... And boy, do they like it... It seems that their collection of dust is getting bigger than my collection of LEGO :-| Hopefully, half of them are in a window, so I don't have to dust them all. And then, from time to time I swoosh them and play ventriloquist and later on, cannibalise them to improve some other models.

Gosh, I never realised there were so many features in that set... I really wish I got it when it was released... Some very nice figs too... Great review, thanks

And let's not forget the one in the last episode of Batman Beyond, where Superman is trying to destroy the justice league when he is possessed buy an alien symbiote thing... I wish they'd do a BB set... But I guess there isn't much material to work from...

Wow, they really went deep into the little details inside *wub* *wub* Thanks for the pics, Looks like TLC's going down Memory lane wtih those old style looking build. I love it. Is there gonna be more models in that style? With lots of studs showing.. :-$

Mmmh, that would be the 'Ice Cube Tray" thread X-D well, I joined the forum before but I didn't come that often. Then there was that thread which kept on going more and more insane and never stopping. And it made me decide to become a bit more active. (ok, not so much, but it's still a start :-P )

loool : Spielberg goes on a career change :-D these are some nice sets. I really love that car. looks sleek

Gasp! it's incredible. Anyone thinks there's someone in the coffin? X-D

Anyone knows what that weird white foam thingy in the truck of the first pic is??? I've never seen a piece like that before... And I don't quite get what it's suposed to be either *wacko*

Well, it's the same for every writer, really... I love the LXG books, and can't wait for the new ones to be released but he's done some other that wasn't so great. V for Vendetta, for instance, The film is right on top of my top 5 list but the book isn't taht great. Sure it's revolutionary (pun intended) but I find it going in too many different directoin before starting to follow a single coherent plot. Which in a way is understandable, since Moore didn't know where he wanted to go with it when he started the serie.

Wow, those look fantastic... Now that is what I call a GIANT leap toward coolness from TLC, those haven't much in common with the first wave! I'd say they got rid of most that was bad in the first wave. Mesa waaant *sing*

Mmmmh, I love that 8699 The other ones not so much... But then again, so far I've only been interested in the Titan or Warrior sets. They usually have a much better and intricate build (Maxilos anyone? :-P ) Plus, they are fewer and take less space in my room X-D

WTF! I just realised those AT TE are climbing a vertical wall 8-

happy birthday!! PS copmike, I love your bottle of champagne in ice X-D

Where's that 4min movie? I can't seem to find it :-/

damn! that could've been my chance to get a non LUL one... I think that was the worst TLC has ever come with... Ever ever ever... Those LUL figs are completely pointless and horrible. I'm so glad they scrapped the very idea of doing more (at least I hope they did)

didn't they show the new MTT and N1 starfaighter, last toy fair? as well as the bionicle Marhi and a few other sets? I know we saw pictures of them earlier but I think it was then that they were officially revealed or something...

happy birthday!!!! Hope you'll have good fun, even at work.

I'll try to find them, but it's getting hard to find english books here, lately... At least the ones I'm interesting in... I found those two by luck on a flee market, and since I've always meant to read them I jumped on the occasion. But I remember when I looked for Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince serie, it took me 5 years to find all six volumes *wacko* ... and the last one cost me around

Aaaaah that falling pillar!!! I always rammed into it in LEGO Racers when it falls down on you in the second lap... :-P By far, the best racer game I have on my computer... ever

Somehow, I'll have to disagree... Since it's George Lucas Himself directing the new series (both Clone Wars and the new one that fits in between Ep3 and 4), why shouldn't they be canon? That is, I can't help comparing them to Star Trek, now that they're becoming of the same media and there, both films and series are canon. So I'd say that while the CW cartoon by Tartakovsky may not be canon, the new one will (I read somewhere that anything that Lucas says is canon)... which thus excludes it from the EU. (and on a gramatical note, I'm wondering if I can say "both films and series", since they are plural... it doesn't feel right but I can't figure out how I'm supposed to say it |-/ ) Hey, I remember that one... it was sold for something like $500 on an ebay auction some time ago... 8-

I just finished Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy". Now I'm starting the sequel. Pretty funny. I can't help comparing his writing to Terry Pratchett's (though I have a preference for Pratchett. His humour feels a bit more coherent in his non sense... Don't know if that makes sense *wacko* )

Yay! Finally I'll be able to get an RGS! Though unlike the MTT, I won't say I'm glad I missed the old one. The improvements are indeed rather scarce but then again, from what I've seen of the previous version, there wasn't much to improve anyway. But I do have a bit of a mystery : Where does Ventress fit in all that goodness? Since she's supposed to be with the bad guys... Is she supposed to take on that RGS with only her twin lightsabers? seems rather weak if you ask me... Unless they're doing the Kit Fisto trick and added her in the set to be sure people will buy it, even if she hasn't anything to do with it... well, in this case, either way is find by me, since I'll get that set anyway, but it still gets me wondering...

ooops... Well, as they say : Great minds think alike X-D
