  1. er, all of those really great MOC makes me wonder about something, though... What kind of ship is the sea ghost? Is it a modern type of cargo like in the teaser poster? What confuses me is the boiler part of the engine... I mean, I don't know anything about ships (obviously) but I don't suppose it is a steam boat, is it?
  2. Oh boy oh boy oh boy... This year has some really really really (really?) great looking sets. That garbage truck is just *wub* (jeez, how sick is that? :-P ) and those road building sets ans so on... Makes me wish I could get in that line, too. Too bad my finance couldn't possibly follow if I did...
  3. That model is such a beauty... But it's got such a price, too... :'-(
  4. the person above me isn't alone in that case *wacko*
  5. er... If it's available on S@H, do you think it might be released in standard toy shops that are not TRU?? I mean, it does have a sort of normal set number, like the MTT and so on... So maybe I can hope...
  6. Third day at work and I already managed to screw up the supply schedule... My boss asked me to put a huge box of supply on the shelf (and I mean HUGE) But I misunderstood her and I took the wrong one :-/ ... By the time she realised it, I was already finished, so I spent the second half of the day putting everything back and now we're a full day off schedule... Monday's gonna be hectic, I can tell *wacko* mmmmh, Dr Peppeeeeeeeer (Homer mode ON) I love that... Too bad I was probably the only Belgian who did, since they stopped selling any after here a few years... Do you mind if I ask you what is Panto? is it some sort of play acting?
  7. And, hum, where did you use that tri-axle piece? I can't seem to find it... I really like it. I's got a great kind of feminine grace to it *wub* . Deadly Lady On
  8. boy, those birds are just *wub* . They're really well done. Especially the dynamism of Hera. I like your ML fig too, but somehow it reminds me of that skeletton kid in Corpse Bride I think it' the blue and the shape of the head
  9. well, Maxilos is the one that got me in the bionicle line... well, actually it's Mr Mandalorian' Hydraxon review, But I took Maxilos as well because I didn't want my Hydraxon to feel alone ;-)... But I'm glad I did, I just love the way he's done (well, I modify his hands the same way of Hydraxon's and shortened his feet... I mean, the guy could ski with those *wacko* ). I don't know why, he sort of reminds me of the transformers from the new film. With their mechanically organic look. Now I'd like to find Karzhani to go with them, too... Though I don't really like the Toa and Barraki (do they take an S in plural?), their design feel just too simple compared to those of the Titans... (I'm sorry I missed Brutaka, actually... And I'm hoping to find karzahni at some time...).
  10. Gosh! I knew you were great but I wouldn't have thought you could be that great... Every time I come to EB lately it's more and more to get the new chapter in that Hinckley-Sinner Tale (or Sinner-Hinckley Tale... I wouldn't want to make anyone jealous :-P ) And I want a collection like that!!! *wub* *wub* (oh and that room to go with it, 'cause I don't think I'd have space enough here at my place :-D )
  11. Well, now, how about a little contest : What can you build with those pieces? :-D Too bad we don't have the quantity for each parts... I'm really intrigued by that 10171, though... But the only thing I'll be crying about is their set numbers... THEY'RE GONNA BE S@H EXCLUSIVE!!!! Noooooooo!!!!! I don't have any means of buying anything from S@H :'-( :'-( :'-(
  12. Mine has a weird story, really... It's a bit of a private revolution against High school teenage customs and such... I mean, when I was in High School, You always had to be this 'cool' guy if you wanted to have lots of 'friends' and had to wear last fashion clothes and everything else from the 'being a perfect cool guy' encyclopedia (so I defenitely wasn't a 'cool' guy and I only had a few friends but at least I knew they were real ones, too). But if there's one thing I hate above all else, it's going shopping for new clothes... I dunno, I just can't stand it... Everytime I try, by the end of the day I always end up buying books or LEGO... So I have this tendency to keep my clothes for a very very (very?) loooong time... And my jacket tended to be rather worn out after a while (6 years or so). So my parents told me to have a new one (that's another useful thing I noticed : If I waited long enough, my parents become rather fed up with my worn clothes and THEY pay for new ones, whereas my sister keeps on going shopping at least twice a month and has to pay for everything herself :-P ). Anyway, I went to the shop (with them, this time, so I couldn't run away from the task) and I looked at all the jackets available... everything was so blatantly tern and colorless... It all went from black to white with a lot of variations of gray in between or some sort of faded red, but no color to really speak of... And when I looked outside the shop and everywhere else, it was just the same... Like noone wanted to stand apart or anything... just grays... Then in a really back alley of the shop, I found that bright yellow jacket (like LEGO yellow), like it was surrounded by some kind of aura and I just new I wanted that one and none other... Of course, afterward, at school everyone made fun of that jacket (I mean YELLOW! come on, I practically gave it to them) but at least I gave them some color to look at. But in Belgium, when someone doesn't fit in that 'cool' factor, people have that tendency to refer to them as 'lost' So there you have it : I'm the 'yellow lost'. Which is what I decided to call myself to show them the pride I have in not being drown in that mass consuming society. Then I contracted the two words and I thought it sounded nice as well, so I've had this nickname for about ten years, now... And I still have a yellow jacket. Since that day, I want only yellow jacket. And year after year, it becomes harder and harder to find a nice one... :'-(
  13. I bought the Mini Flyers Creator set, today. I just love that two-decked plane. It reminds me of those in the Flyboys film... I'm thinking of building myself a mini squadron... And then I'll try and make a mini squadron of those red three-decked german planes... And then a mini Zeppelin to go with the lot... X-D Day Dreaming On
  14. What??! No Icecube tray??! Where's the Icecube tray? X-O No no no no no, You must have lef it in the freezing-drawer... Yes, that must be it... ;-) well, today was my first day at work. I got a student job in a supermarket. And the manager just left me in the middle of it, alone... So I had no idea what to do... And then someone who looked like a quality-service survey guy, asked me lots of questions about products we were selling and such and I didn't have a clue how to help him at all since I have no idea where is what in the shop... Somehow, I don't think the shop will get a good feedback out of this... :-/ Still, I do like the job... Not sure I could do that all my life but for now I rather enjoy the activity... (Well, it is better than just sitting all day long on a chair...)
  15. GGG 8-
  16. Great work! I really like the color scheme, too. where does that central piece come from? I've never seen anything like it before...
  17. looool That Scotty minifig is just *wub* (well I don't know if it's supposed to be Scotty but I Think it looks just like him) He really captured the essence of the guy
  18. mmmmmf... Looks as bad as the first one... minus the nice mayan looking sets... It seems they just put the accent on the blood splattering of humans who are just there for the two monsters to kill...
  19. Have you asked him if he really doesn't accept IBAN bank transfert? Sometimes the british just don't know it exists and you just have to remind them. So if you're really convincing he might accept, after all... it worked for me a few times. But beware the conversion rates from euro to pounds at your bank, because somtimes you can get a rather nasty surprise...
  20. because
  21. mmm... Most definitely the message intercept base for me... That base just looks fantastic. And I've always loved the color scheme of the original blacktron. Black and trans-yellow. They just look great. I never quite got why they made them white afterward... And because it brings back all those fond memories I have of me looking at it so longingly when I went to the toy shop for christmas when I was a kid... :'-)
  22. WOW! he's even found a use for those darn squid crossbow thingies' the image links to his gallery
  23. Funny, I just fell on your gallery of your Mobile Station this morning and I thought I did recognise that big white truck in your review ;-) That mobile station is really impressive, how long is it? It must be huge... Nice review, by the way... but they really can't compare to your model... by far X-D
  24. does anyone know how I could get up to date withe the History of this Bionicle Universe? I mean I've just started because I kinda like the setting of the Mahri Nui but I have absolutely no idea whatsoever as to who's who and what's what... Well, I have a few notions as to who're the bad guys (or at least some of them, like the barraki) but apart from that... The only thing I've read are the first eight issues of the comic and the three films...(but I didn't quite get how they fit in the oveeral continuity... well it's pretty obvious that 2 and 3 are right after one another but when are they happening from the first?) Though I did notice a few thing, like the matoran that made the teams in the ball game in the first film have the same name as the third batch of toa... (well technically, the fourth but since it seems that the first toa and the toa nuva are the same caracters, I'd say they count as one batch ;-) ) But all that seems a bit outdated compared to now, with all that must have happened with the piraka guys and those Titans things and such... and now all of those people underwater...
