I ordered a Gahlok Kal off Bricklink and, with it, I got the mini-CD. Going into the files within, I found Web_trailer_final.mov , which is the most hilariously early-2000's trailer I've seen in ages.
Ok, I've made an entry about Jurassic Park before, and that one was all about the dinosaurs and the inaccuracies therein (though I left out several things, such as the Velociraptors' wrists being incorrect; they would need to be broken to be like that) but now I feel it's time to post about why I don't like the film as a whole. Because while it may be fueled by dino-nerd rage, there's more to it than that. The message of Jurassic Park is supposed to be that man shouldn't play God and that the
the twist at the end of the Karda Nui arc would have been so much more of a twist if it werent for the fact that ever since 2005 Makuta popped up to say "all according to keikaku" and if not him someone else would come along to say "yep this is it this is makuta's plan" really the only thing that kept it a surprise was that we didnt know the universe was in a giant robot
I made a grave error in counting for the last question, meaning unless you made the same counting mistake as I did, none of the answers would be correct. Depending on what you count as an individual set, the actual answer can be anywhere from 19 to 22 (24 if you're also willing to add in the two foreign Piraka Kaita sets) so I apologize for not double-checking my numbers before publishing the quiz. Unfortunately, it appears once a quiz has been published it cannot be edited, at least not by me.
messing with LDD some more. This started as an attempt to make a character from a game I'd played recently but the wings grew increasingly frustrating so I decided to let it rest like this for now. This design is only really practical in LDD; the massive amount of hinge plates would make it sort of shift shape. Still, I did manage something wing-like. If I'm going to finish the character, though, I need to keep extending inward to almost a tapering point to match the wing shape. Also, the fles
so hero factory 2014 i guess some of the designs are nice, and the beasts are pretty neat some of them id need to have in hand to judge properly but im not a big fan of the xl machine at all splitter beast seemed cool until i saw how awful it looks split evo walker is a joke that is all
this is mostly run-of-the-mill but these are probably better wings than in any constraction set to date, or at least those made with CCBS (definitely better than dragon bolt's trainwreck)
got the SPACESHIP in the mail today and it was every bit as wonderful as advertised. surprisingly rare for LEGO movie sets, I couldn't spot a single error in how it compares to the one in the movie. As near as I can tell, it's 100% accurate. Also got Flurr because she was interesting and stood out amongst the newest wave of mixels. She's a neat little build, though the eye placement is slightly strange. I ordered the Flexers too but they shipped late due to them selling quickly enough for th
Takadox might be getting a body and maybe even a little animation done. idk these arent for a kit or anything; I just haven't done a lot of spriting in years and felt like getting my sprite on.
just a quick pic of something i threw together around a claw concept with the new beast heads might put this on the convention circuit with a couple other MOCs i need to make finishing touches on
I built the sea cow on my bed like a moron so it kept breaking when i tried to take this pic with my webcam. luckily the only part i couldnt find was covered by my spare parts. it's a beautiful ship, though. my only complaint is the lack of gold octopus.
Serious question here. Can we get them at least partially canonized by Greg Farshtey? The first episode is easy. Witch Doctor escaped in the Breakout, and we never really learn HOW he was recaptured, so the first video is clearly documenting this. I think it can easily be 100% canon. The second video is more difficult, as we see the entirety of Black Phantom's role in Breakout, so as far as partial canonization goes, I'm afraid episode 2 is squarely non-canon. Episode three is only partial
I was so busy trying to win something and so elated that I managed it that I missed what I actually won. I think I heard the name "Nuju" but I'm not sure. (I was capitanozakitano for those curious, the one who answered the Beware the Swarm question. I should really contact Six i think? or does he contact me?)
I queued this up November 2nd for all us winners. I'm sure we all hit our goal, and even if we didn't, you did something bold this month. So, regardless, congratulations. Unless you signed up and did absolutely nothing. In that case, the frick, dude?
but lo and behold, it still exists on an obscure corner of the internet. Unfortunately, I don't think I can share it here unless the site has moderator approval :/
finally saw it. it was pretty good. Metalbeard was everything I hoped he would be. (I'm very disappointed in the ways Metalbeard's set differs from his movie counterpart, particularly the cannon array, which I'm pretty sure is much more stable in the movie design.)
