  4. Today
  5. Personally, I'm not going to rush out to get these. I think it's a bit of a gimmick. Admittedly, these "smart bricks " , that can react to each other with laser play and play SW music , may be fun, but I don't see this as a must have. But LEGO will probably make a killing on this new technology, as the younger generations will eat it up. And hey, they have to stay on top of their game, right? And i'm sure we will now be seeing the same technology in their Marvel, Ninjago, Harry Potter, etc. etc. offerings in the coming years.
  6. "Lego unveils tech-filled Smart Bricks - to play experts' unease" appeared in the BBC in the last 12 hours: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crmlnmnwzk2o I have mixed feelings about the Smart Bricks. It's great that Lego is continuing to innovate, but I'm not sure if this is the right direction...
  7. when do those two come out? they are very premium looking.
  8. Love the Budweiser nod to DYRL. lol
  9. I kinda liked the robot that had that Zeta project spin off show
  10. Yes. It's not the same.
  11. Yeah MPG-20 just looks like a Studio Series 86 Hot Rod. Speaking of which, I'm sort of tempted to pre-order because his colors pop better to me than the original release, plus the accessories. I dunno still on the fence. However with that said, while I was out today getting some stuff for my gym session tomorrow from Walmart I came across 2 Brawls....I almost picked him up. But just as I thought would happen I cringed at that 43+ dollar price point and ended up putting him away. I can almost say that my days of collecting Transformer figures is probably coming to an end. At these prices, I'd almost be better off just investing a bit in a 3rd party line that looks closer to animation models or just makes better sense financially for it's size. It rather sucks.
  12. I really have to ask whether some people are actually aware of Lego history at all.
  13. Wow! Just wow! If I had a quarter of that collection I would be happy. Well done Sir!
  14. Thanks for this information! I would of missed it.
  15. Looking great! This kit has always been on my "should I get it" list. I always see it either in a store or online but have never pulled the trigger to get it. Maybe one day.
  16. Haven't really enjoyed this director's work so far. But ole Hugh , him i like.
  17. I'm looking forward to this kit.
  18. Looks great! I'm going to try and see if I can get the same effect with dry brushing only and stippling layers of the color on.
  19. That is beautiful! I love dioramas that tell a story.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Hey @pengbuzz. I do have a spare decal sheet from a 1/1000 Refit that I kitbashed into the Joxer. Yours if you want it.

    Man, those look good. Experten's really strutting his stuff with that design; unlike a lot of his garage kits, which betray their compromises, this thing looks so well-designed and put together. It just whetts the appetite for a proper toy.
  23. Really?!!! I had no idea. That show was so kitschy and appealing to kids (with some adult humor in there too, just like a lot of Looney Toons). I thought it was great when I was little. However, the Superfriends cartoon largely eroded Batman's appeal for me as I got older, as he couldn't really do anything without his utility belt. I called him Utility Belt Man for years until '89 rolled around and Burton's Batman was announced. As it happens, I had a friend who was huge into Batman, including the comics. I got him a copy of one of Frank Miller's graphic novels for his birthday, and of course, I read it before I gave it to him.😄 That changed my perception of Batman quite a bit as well as all the info my friend and his brothers told me about the character, as I think they were all versed somewhat in the comics. Batman: TAS went a long way towards righting the wrongs of the old 70s and 80s Batman toons- just an excellent show. Warner Bros also started turning comics into animated movies, which also lent some grit to the character for me. Rocksteady's Arkham Asylum/Knight series still stand as some of my favorite games and just a fantastic depiction of the Caped Crusader. It's a shame they stopped at three games. With all his tech wizardy, Batman and Cyborg definitely qualify as sci-fi staples, at least for me, as they both rely on neo-futuristic tech to do their thing. Batman Beyond certainly qualifies, as that's sci-fi through and through. I still need to finish that series. I started it last year and kinda fell off. It's good- I'm just easily distracted by shinier things and then I forget.
  24. Not sue if this has been seen yet.. wasn't able to post the link so here's a photo of the article..
