The Eye

How happy I would be for POTC to have the return of Imperial Armada sets- but then again, wouldn't we rather have a new pirates series rather than LEGO Pirates happening in 2009 and Imperial Armada sets happening potentially in 2012? Maybe I'm missing the point.

Looks to me like it's just the backing of the stickers. Unless you can provide pictures of the sticker off the sheet, I don't think we can give a much better answer than that.

Here is a link to the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 review, AKA the Yellow Lambo. Great review here, with lots of good pictures and details. Here is a link to the Lamborghini Polizia LP 560-4 review, AKA the Police Lambo. An outstanding review, with comparison pictures between the two sets. Hope this helps you out!

That's cool, looking forward to seeing your progress! You gonna theme it, or is it just a room with LEGO in it for you? It would be cool to put up LEGO posters, I mean, if there are any.

I love this! One of my favourite lines as a child, made better with time! I hope you go beyond Swamp and do my favourite, "Dust"...

The trees and blue, glowing plants remind me of something from Avatar, while the rest reminds me of the primitive culture in 2001: A Space Odyssey. A good mix. However, I also think that you should expand on the MOC, as it seems somewhat bare. Maybe make it even larger, a whole planet, or whatever you want! It's LEGO after all.

Welcome to Eurobricks Zachary! Many of the Bionicle fans on here are just like you: they have been fans since the great beginning, and even those who have been fans since the Throwbots days. There are also many Pirates fans, it being one of the more popular boards. I see that you are interested in cars- I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but LEGO acquired the Lambourghini license last year (releasing a Convertible/Coupe and Polizia ed. Gallardo), and next spring there will apparently be a remake of 1994's Supercar with opening doors and hood. For pirates, we had an entirely new line last year, so I'm sure you'll be able to find some ones for cheap- along with this year's exclusive Imperial Flagship. You call yourself a gearhead? The Technic forums are the place to go, with many devoted fans and constant reviews. I see you're also interested in Zoids. I almost started with them when I was a kid too, but no where near me sold them. Hopefully both of your hobbies flourish!

Awesome idea Cecilie, and a Happy Birthday to you!

At the TRU where I live (Windsor, ON), there is a single copy of the Technic Excavator- can anyone confirm or deny it being available in other Canadian TRU's?

That's really awesome, I love the ship/SNOT ship and the pilot gives me the chills. Looks like your on your way to the top, I wish you luck!

Not only does this look absolutely amazing, but it looks like it had quite a bit of planning. Like, you didn't rush headlong into building and had some planning beforehand. I'd love to see some other N'trite in the future, but I guess I can only hope.

A good MOC, with good coloring on what I assume is some sort of combat robot(?). I also like the main gun, it looks like it could recoil from laser blasts. My only main criticism is that it looks somewhat gappy, maybe the frame could use some work.

Lotsa shiny bitz and chompy stuff! Lotsa Dakka Dakka! WAAAAAAGH! Let's hope we were talking about the same thing? Nice MOC.

That's the Lucius Malfoy/Death Eater Mask head from 2005's Graveyard duel. Really works on a paratrooper, the fig is just astonishing, and the actual side of the plane looks excellent- not to mention the awesome power functions. A job well done.

I could never do this. This is actually talent- but I'd still not waste my time with the bags. I'd rip em off and get building! Still, quite a cool talent there hawkyboy4.

You make some good points. LSW may be in it's 11th year, but it doesn't have to be so faulty. Still, I disagree with you about Boba or Grievous... I think they're perfect molds. Although that's just my opinion.

Now that's an overhaul. Looks amazing, like something out of some poor Rock Monster's nightmares. Or even in my own. Nice job.

I don't see what 6-year olds playing video games has to do with LEGO putting revolvers and lasers in their sets. What video games companies put in their games is up to them, and there are ratings for that. It's up to the parents, responsible or not to decide what is acceptable for their child. But if you mean playing games with LEGO, I don't think LEGO is responsible for influencing people to jack cars and shoot innocents. Most of the violence is against creatures, and judging by the animated movies on the websites, such as having a Rock Monster eat a sulfur crystal and burp, I don't think they mean any harm. None of the weapons are intricate, none really going above or beyond a revolver chamber or trigger. The only real intricacy on a weapon are the gatling guns and silencers, but really, few children view them any different as laser guns. Those that do are inevitable- one child will always be differently influenced than the next. Having weapons on a set doesn't necessarily support that. The gatling guns were from Exo-Force, where humans fought robots. Sure, a child could bring in a city worker from his Garage set and bust a cap in his ABS, but LEGO didn't include anything like that in the initial set to support anything like that. The silencer is on the new Slave I set, on Boba Fett's gun, where they are simply trying to have movie accuracy over violence. The Star Wars sets initially have higher age levels than the City sets. Regardless of the argument, I still agree with your video game comments- I don't like the idea of adults jumping the ratings systems. They should read the M's and the T's as something their children shouldn't play. I'm just trying to say that LEGO is and always will be for a universal audience, to imagine whatever they'd like. Even if a child views something as a violent weapon, LEGO cannot be held responsible. Thankfully, if a children is able to be creative through playing with LEGO, the company can be held responsible.

I loved this and agree with it. Of course people seek conflict, it's unfortunate that so many people don't realize it. There cannot be a story without conflict, violence or no violence. There needs to be some sort of problem for a good story- any story- to take place. I also agree with you about LEGO City- the City sets (no offense to anyone who enjoys City, as I'm simply stating the truth) were intended for a slightly younger audience than the Action Themes Sets. This is why there is less conflict- they know kids will want be able to utilize the simple scenarios of "the bank robber" and the "couch on fire". You will notice that the older children and beyond mostly enjoy both themes. It is the same reason that Creator sells far less sets than the Star Wars line. Not saying that Creator isn't often harder to build, or cheaper. I'm saying that people nowadays seek conflict and it's inevitable. People are drawn to an interesting story, violence or no violence. You can call me an idiot, poorly educated or anything you'd like, but I actually prefer the newer, more action-oriented themes to Lego City. On the other hand, it's funny how LEGO has made conflict sets that haven't sold as well. This may be due to improper advertising of the earlier years, but still- the X-Treme Team sets and LEGO Island sets sold rather poorly, and included more conflict than the average sets. They tried the same with World City sets, which sold less than the City line of 2005 and onward. I don't quite understand why this happened, and I'm not trying to argue anything in particular, however, I'm just noting that. This is coming from someone who loves Creator, and believes the usual so-called "age limits" should be made infinite (i.e. 8+), however. If you like City, play with it, but don't come here to complain about too much violence in other themes. Remember that everyone is different and everyone wants something different from their bricks.

Thanks for the review, and let me welcome you to EB TimToyGeek! Unlike others who seem to be on the fence for this set, I absolutely love it. I wanted the Titanium Drilling Rig at one point and also wanted to see the Crystal King climbing up it, but I never managed to get either of them. With the PoA and the UE, it should be doable. Thank you!

That's a cool and very true idea. Unfortunately, however, there doesn't seem to be a set that has a trailer big enough for the truck! What a shame. It could have been even better with a small trailer included (although there wasn't one in the movie TS2. IMHO, I like the TS figures. They're <insert that tiresome argument>, maybe even goofy-looking, but they are undeniably well sculpted and resemble their on-screen counterparts well. I especially love the LGMs and Rex! I may have to pick this up one day, just for the awesome pizza-launching mechanism.

Indeed it is. But I'm not fond of Voldemort in general. Dark Green robes? Cool as they are, is that how they were intended in the books? I do like the head, although the wand is cool too (looks like it's made of bone, like the book I think? correct me if I'm wrong). But anyways, the robes should be like in Graveyard Duel in my opinion.

I like it too, although I find the marker on the Clone's armour looks slightly streaky.

Definitely the best MOC I've ever seen.

I may be a month late and borderline bumping, but I've got to say, that's one awesome MOC. I love the trails left behind by the treads, it reminds me of a full-blown war against everything- including nature itself. Thankfully, the clones are there to stop it from destroying anything more. Excellent work!
