I got a few custom figs at the Lego store last night. I love that skull and roses torso print. Made a few changes with my city citizens My mad doctor is now a creepy stalker lol. Beware The hospital has gained a new doctor.
I spent the last couple of days building this... I took pictures of the build, along with some beauty shots, but I ended up with 70 of them so put them in a gallery rather than post them all here in one post Toys A small selection... Sadly, I don't have access to a real Chiron, but I was able to introduce it to its predecessor
Found Clayface at Walmart for $20. I actually love the build, though I rebuilt the hands to lack stud shooters. The way the "mud" effect was achieved is great.
I’m just about finished the first order destroyer.. and wow, it’s pretty awesome. When I first saw it, I wasn’t the biggest fan, especially because of the lack of a larger sized bridge. But this version of the destroyer has really grown on me. I’d love a UCS iteration of this destroyer. I quite enjoy him as well. I think they did a great job with just about all of the villain vehicles from the Lego batman movie.
I'm mixed on Clayface. I love the set for how it looks, as a great brick-built rendition of the villain with lots of playability. But as a build, he's (or is it she in this case, courtesy of Kate Micucci providing the voice acting?) honestly pretty boring. Same reason as how I dislike most mid-scale Lego mecha, is because the components are so partitioned off to create the various articulated limb chunks, that there's not much room for advanced or at least interesting build techniques. It's just bridging ball-joint or ratchet-joint sockets with plates and then covering that core with a few random tiles. The the Clayface build upped that low level of engagement by being covered in the 2x2 circular tiles ad nauseum. So yeah, love the set for what it represents and for how the final product turned out, and yet, it's probably the least engaging set I've ever built at its size and parts count.
I actually liked the build because of all the circular plates layered over each other. I also liked actually building the head and using all the extras to have him the dripping jaw he had in the movie. My only real beef is how much gunmetal grey is visible, especially since they went to all the trouble of making the sockets and ball joints brown. But luckily I had some brown plates to replace those. So now I think the only main villains I'm missing are Bane, Ra's and Talia.
The Ra’s and Talia set goes for pretty cheap, but I honestly didn’t think the minifigures were all that impressive. It comes with Damian, but who wants Damian?
I chanced upon some UniKitty sets in the Tesco here today. By Zord they're expensive! Even the little blind bags are £3.50 each compared to the CMF ones here for £3. At those prices I imagine the UniKitty stuff will be hitting discount pretty quickly once it starts shelf-warming, which is the only way I'll be ever owning any.
Neat. That's entirely what I should be doing with my stuff rather than just building it and then storing it away in tubs. Is it weird that I was going ''Ooh! I've got that! And that!' as if nobody else but me collects Lego?
I'd never be able to keep a city display like that because I'd always have like Bionicles roaming the streets and the Batmobile crashing into shit and that kinda stuff.
I used to be a staunch City collector, but now any city I build will have to include a few superheroes and ninjas somewhere. I suppose I could just build a convention centre and pretend it's a fan event spilling into the streets.
Oh look, another EU Deleted Scene with Stormies and Obi-Wan having an intense Lightsaber duel in the desert for the Death Star Plans. And prices for this will be stupid I'll bet.
