Very nice work! Any chance of getting an overarching view of the internals? It looks huge from outside, but you've zoomed in for your internal pics so it would be cool to get an overall sense of your internal layout. Nonetheless, great job!

This definitely seems like the most attractive option but yes, that is a lot of bricks. You have to elevate the rest of the city with bricks as well right? Has anyone used a combination of road plates as well as tiled and/or snot roads? I'm a little curious of something like that could work or if it'd just look totally mismatched. @lightningtiger Do you have any pics of your roadplates used with tiled driveways?

For those of you with tiled roads, do you find that its overly glossy or 'liney' (from the gaps between tiles)? From the pics that I see, those are the main detractors for me. Do the baseplates and tiles cost that much less? Seems like a lot of tiles...

For those of you with large city builds, I was wondering if you used Lego's Road Plates or tiled baseplates on your own, or something else altogether. I'm thinking of starting a small town and am currently split between putting together larger plates or investing in some number of roadplates.

Has anyone spotted the Pig Farm (7684) in TRU or anywhere aside from S@H? It came out on S@H a month ago but I've had no luck in finding it anywhere; I hear that Farm is a TRU exclusive, so I thought it'd turn up there by now. On top of this, it's not listed on either the CA or US TRU website. :/

A little disappointed at no back torso print With the focus on minifigs in this series, you'd think they'd include more details like that. Not that they're not awesome in every other way though.

Thanks for the responses guys! I found the Missing Parts link and was surprised at how easy it was to order a new Glaciator! I guess now the extra minifig doesn't seem too shabby.

I just opened up a freshly bought 8961 and unfortunately, it came with a Sulfurix (Lime Green) Rock Monster instead of Glaciator (Blue) . Has anyone else had this issue? And is there any way I can call in to TLC to complain? It doesn't sound like much, but I was really looking forward to the blue rock monster! (I already have the Lime Green One from 8959).

First time poster here, hope this is the right place for it. Not mine, but these guys looked too awesome not to share! http://www.flickr.com/groups/1214232@N20/pool/ I especially enjoy the Staypuff Marshmallow Man! http://www.flickr.com/photos/27826007@N05/...ool-1214232@N20
