  1. You mean back when there were no Lego movies whatsoever? THOSE 90's?Yeah. At least there weren't licensed themes being crammed into back then. Except Star Wars at the turn, but that was okay-ish at first.What was OK-ish about the early Star Wars theme? Certainly not the sets, which tended to have quite a bit of juniorization much like many LEGO themes of the late 90s. The more recent Star Wars sets are light-years ahead of those sets in terms of complexity, and have kept pretty much the same in terms of scale in many cases. Plus, we have the brilliant LEGO Star Wars video games, the (from what I've seen and heard) hilariousness of The Padawan Menace, and perhaps most importantly, The LEGO Group's continued success and familiarity as a brand. Not to mention BIONICLE, which might never have come about if it weren't for the success of LEGO Star Wars.Of course Star Wars now is better. What I meant was, I don't like the sheer numbers of licensed themes out there, and while Star Wars is good (certainly the best licensed theme) it's at fault for causing this fad. But oh well, I think the Batman stuff is doing okay too since it's not trying to base itself off of a movie.

  3. I see what they were going for, and it could have been good - by the sound of it, the written version is - but the show was incredibly cheap and kind of annoying in parts. Maybe it was just me.Anyway, The Savages. This is actually a really good story. Unfortunately, all the episodes are missing so it's just a slideshow of blurry pictures. But I thought it was pretty good, considering how mediocre many of the serials had been before this.The War Machines is next, followed by the final two Hartnell serials. While I like him as the Doctor, I can say I won't miss his episodes that much (they were mostly pretty good at first, but...)
  4. That Space Shuttle from the spaceport thing. The new one, not the 1999 one.
  5. I use LDD a lot again. I've made some pretty big models, and am working on a remake of the LMS Explorer right now.
  6. I liked it the first time I played through. The second time, I couldn't get past Reidak's world. More blah than I remember.
  7. Hope you aren't including the like ten Lego games TT madeErm, what are you talking about? Why wouldn't I talk about Lego games when I'm talking about Lego games? Lego Universe doesn't count to me due to its nature of being online and being able to be shut down. As for the other two, they weren't major games like this, but I did wish they would be on other things even though I have a DS.As for hating it because of one exclusive game... I'm probably just making a fuss.But I really don't like the screen in the controller. It just looks really awkward.
  8. For a moment I thought this just meant any theme. Then I realized it was talking about real products being turned into LEGO. Since I hate all licensed themes and think LEGO should kill all of them and make 100% original themes...yeah. The minifigures would be a mess. Plus, people would complain about his eyes being green and how Eggman isn't called Robotnik.seriously how can you make skinny sonic into a fat minifig
  9. Is this about general LEGO opinions, since it's in LEGO discussion, or just Bionicle?
  10. So we have two Lego movies that have licensed products in them :|I want the 90s back
  11. But LDD can't let you go to a "play" mode like Creator and have your people and vehicles run around. The game was poor, but that little element was what gave it charm. LDD is obviously better, but I miss that little life feature (Creator won't run on this machine, some graphics issue). I worded that poorly. What I meant was, I heard in an interview about Batman 2 that TT tries to put their games on every console and take advantage of its strengths and weaknesses. This can be seen in most of their past games. And then, only a short time after that, they release a game that is only on one console and one handheld. Both Nintendo. Both new. I'm not spending three hundred dollars on a new console just for one or two games. Oh Loco...suddenly gibberish everywhere
  12. I have a strong dislike towards the Wii U. 99% because that Lego City game, the first original (non-Bionicle/Technic) major LEGO game since Island Xtreme Stunts in 2002, is only on the Wii U and not on any other console, even though TT has many times said they try to publish their things on every console.Yes, I'm incredibly biased and this is a stupid reason. But until LCU comes out on something else I'm sticking to it.
  13. I feel quite the opposite of this article, to be honest. The future of LEGO games seems troublesome with their past history for the last seven years. Ever since 2005, they've stopped making original games that all were different and just been churning out movie games that feel the same as LEGO Star Wars. The new LEGO City game looks okay, but it still looks a bit like LSW, plus it's only on the Wii U, unlike everything else TT has made which tries to be original.As someone in the comments of that article said, "How about Lego <not> a franchise?"
  14. MORE OLD EPISODE REVIEWSThe Gunfighters is kind of weird. While the story itself is okay, it doesn't feel like Doctor Who sometimes. Primarily because of the singing narrator.Still better than The Celestial Toymaker.
