Good idea. Need to dig out the rest of my minifigure bits and bobs though.

Anyone figure out how to add in Hulk, Thor and Iron Man to the Helicarrier logo thing?

For the price of that set, it's kind of ridiculous they didn't include a full set of Avengers.

The Helicarrier looks quite nice but I've got no space for a Helicarrier and it's not really my sort of Lego thing to be honest.

Oh, and a few of the new City sets look nice. Those space ones. A few more shuttles would be nice for the collection. And the submarine ones.

Right, but it has a separate display stand that includes five of them because people like minifigs I guess.

They don't really look like Lego, the Luke is ugly as sin... but that Vader looks loving sick. I like it. Doesn't look like they'll have many pieces either so they should be pretty cheap sets?

Brickset says the DC ones a few years ago were about 40 pieces and cost $14.99 a piece.

They also did Marvel ones. And the DC Joker one was used as a giant robot at the end of the video game Lego Batman 2.

My rpi case uses part 4151b for venting.

It always looked like it was meant to be a vent, and now it is. I built the box out of red parts because I never use red for anything so it doesn't really matter if I never disassemble it.

I like how your case looks like it could be a food truck though.

I was going for some kind of Ice Planet thing, but haven't figured out a way to get chainsaws into it. Also I needed to use the half-cup of trans orange cheese wedges I got from PAB one time.

Ohhh ok. So the Winter Soldier is for VIP peeps now, people who buy the Helicarrier in March, and it'll be given out with purchases in June, apparently.

Didn't the older one go over a minifigure head too? Or do you mean have a minifigure head inside and be two-part?

The two part thing. People are complaining about it looking too bloated or something now.

Just based on that picture, the triangle at the front of the new helmet looks triangular and the old,one looks squished. The new one really looks taller overall and probably better than the old helmet. I don't think I have an old Darth, unless the advent calendar included one.
