They're awesome anyway. I am torn about BrickArms stuff. I'm not as much of an anal purist as I was when I was a kid, but I still don't know that I could tolerate their presence if I ordered some.

Mascot posted:For some projects, you just need to get some custom gear. This is a ghostbuster MOC I built last year, and the guys all have brickforge proton packs, particle guns, and gun belts and Ray has brickforge goggles. You could totally build a proton pack using one of these as a base.

Sham I Am posted:I am curious as to how much you guys tend to spend on this hobby a year? According to peeron, I have spent $633.50 (without sales tax) since last December. But that's going in cold without any old LEGO from when I was a kid or bought at a junk sale. I think I would have spent way less if I had a good stash of bricks.

Mozzie posted:All this terrible licensed lego we get these days makes me still hate way way back when all I wanted was star trek lego and then star wars lego came out. I still think all of my homebrew rainbow warrior Star Wars stuff I built back in 1996 was better than the licensed stuff. Like the TIE fighter that used one of these as a windscreen.

Just bought and assembled the Lunar Limo tonight. I was surprised at how loving huge it is. Space Pimp is as awesome as expected. I would have paid 40 bucks just for him.

Yes, probably my favorite part of the whole shebang. I need to get on building him a tiny pimp stick and using one of those gold goblets for his pimp cup.

Most of it is done and boxed up to go, but here's one photo of the old, rotting dock that sits off to one side of the main port.  Every time I post one of my lovely MOCs somebody comes along with something that makes mine look so much worse in comparison. You and your loving talent.

The old hinges may not have held up as well, but I definitely liked them better. I just like a nice fluid joint instead of a herky-jerky one.

I think they are too. Click joints, for example, can be a bit thin sometimes. Like, hold them up to a light and it shines through. I did notice that the click joints I had this happen with were actually from a set purchased from Wal-Mart. Maybe LEGO has unfortunately become one of the companies who lower their quality standards to comply with Wal-Mart's insane demands?

Just in case anyone out there was under the same impression I was, the Kingdoms advent calendar is not, in fact, UK exclusive. Or at least the online LEGO store doesn't indicate that it's not available in the US.

I checked my local Target and while they barely had their Halloween section up, they did have tons of series 2 minifigs. Not in display boxes, but two huge bins full. I grabbed 7 at random and scored pretty well for not feeling. I got the four that I really wanted, Judo guy, Surfer, Mime and Spartan, and got Disco Stu, Witch and Explorer as well.

I hit up Target for some more figs today. I got 13 this time. But I got a bunch of repeats. Three vampires, three judo fighters, two Spartans and two ringmasters. If anyone is for some reason unable to find those and wants to trade for a lifeguard or skier, I am down for that. On the plus side I got a pharaoh and a pop singer.

Dame Cook posted:They do. And it's not like all the sculpted heads look odd - some of the Star Wars and Space Police ones work fine - but the goblins, Dobby and Yoda all look wrong. Something to do with being so wide, when the Lego minifigs are already proportionally wide, I think. Plus no paint. The Space Police heads have painted expressions and such.
