    Supreme Cheetor 2.0. But with a slightly more involved tranformation. (it still basically just stands up though, using the legs as legs and the belly as the belly)

    "Coolest LEGO plane I've ever seen" keeps changing: Working gear, flaps, elevons, canards, lights, ejection seat, thrust reverser, airbrakes, canopy... I did check the instructions he has---753 steps. No parts list that I could find though, and the instructions are just pictures, so it could be quite the challenge to actually acquire the parts and recreate it.::edit:: Ahh, parts list is up at Rebrickable. "You have 41.1% of the parts required". (probably mostly technic pins!) Hmmn, he's got a Sea Harrier, half the parts, half the steps, needs no expensive electronic bits...

    They so could have worked in a doctor's office scene or something:

    Bumping, to separate from Lego movie. Just in case anyone's interested, I have all the "rare/uncommon" parts (asides from the figures) needed to build the Galactic Mediator (bought loose/used, so most of the clear green bits have scratches): http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6984-1 I would love to trade them all off for something---namely some slightly earlier Classic Space stuff. Mainly just blue/trans-yellow "space" bits. Landing gear, rockets, cones, supports, wings, etc. Bley-colored space stuff also desired. Galactic Mediator parts are pretty much all the wrong color to upgrade/modify Benny's SPACESHIP! and I pretty much have no use for them now. Not trying to "get my money's worth" for these parts---would be happy to trade an entire bag-full for just a couple classic spacemen and parts etc. Basically, combine the parts I'm offering with just some basic bricks/plates/slopes, and you can have a large classic spaceship.

    Just mold things like wing/leg interaction, or things like colors/markings too?

    Well, my ratio's pretty low compared to what it used to be: FFX played many times FFX-2 played once FF11 pass FF12 played once FF13 played once FF13-2 pass FF14 pass FF13-3 will play once FF1 through 9---played each several times. (never did beat 2 though---but sure tried on multiple systems---it's just tedious)
  8. David Hingtgen
    See, FF13-2 gave me such a bad impression from the demo, I never bought it even when it got down to under 20. But FF13-3---yeah, I'll probably pick it up when it's a bit cheaper.

    Yup, I must have had at least one black one: http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6891-1 I know I owned that, because I remember the 10,000 times the red dish up front fell off. ::edit:: Had at least two, there's a black one in this one: http://peeron.com/inv/sets/6951-1 And I know for sure I had that one. (it's a really really unique set)
  10. David Hingtgen
    Ironically, if there's any space man I don't recall owning, it's blue. Had many white/red/yellow, and maybe a black one or two. But blue? Doesn't ring a bell. (probably did though, based on how many space sets I had)

    ::clicky-click:: Yup, uni-kitty is now a searchable tag at MW.

    I *know* I had the Galaxy Commander, almost certain I didn't have the Galaxy Explorer. Not sure about Cosmic Fleet Voyager. Any would be great re-releases, and have parts to help modify Benny's. I'd guess they'd do the Galaxy Commander if any---of the very few re-releases LEGO does, they tend to be big. Though the Galaxy Explorer IS the direct ancestor of Benny's and will likely become very famous/desirable because of that. I think I'm going to sell off most of my Star Wars sets to fund buying Classic Space stuff, so if anyone's interested in B/Y/X-wings etc, let me know.
  13. David Hingtgen
    If they really loved us, they'd re-release these packs in SPACESHIP! colors: http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5172-1 http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5175-1 http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/5173-1

    It's molded to be off-set a bit, but not actually cracked. Also, looking through what I currently have, and what's needed to upgrade/retro-ify Benny's ship, I'm seriously lacking a few "essentials". Notably, these: That's the essential basic "ship landing gear" piece, and Benny's ship has no gear at all from what I can see. IMHO it's the biggest design oversight----every main spacship set I can think of had 1 of 2 pieces used in large numbers as landing gear, the other being this: Which I have tons of, but not what I want for Benny's I think. Lots of other little things I think of as "space" parts that aren't in his ship, but his ship seemingly being smooth-bottomed stuck out the most at me. (really, I wanted EVERY single "space" part to be found in Benny's ship---but there's really not that many---I was hoping it'd be like buying every single classic and Futuron set at once, parts-type-wise---but even the basic "hose" isn't there, they're new-style big hoses)

    Define "old VF-19". The VF-19 mold is pretty new, and this one is somewhat based on it. The old YF-19 mold is exactly that, and most of the issues (and later fixes) it had wouldn't really apply to this one as it shares no parts with it.
  16. David Hingtgen
    Yup. I sure hope that's the actual name on the box. Though what I'm really waiting/hoping for are detailed analysis of the mass-market toys vs the "actual" models in the film. I'd totally be OK with a much larger more expensive direct-sales-only version of most of the main sets. And yes, surprised at how good the "not the actual famous actor" voice-cameo-imitation was. (won't spoil it, but it's the one where everyone else in his group reprised their role in that scene) PS---really, my only disappointment in the film "bricks-wise" was when they mentioned the monorail----and it was just a simple tile-based railway, not actual Lego monorail pieces. How cool would an elaborate monorail set have been?

    Topic title/tags edited now that we know for certain.

    Said to be Leader class.

    Hunh. He's an F-14/F-15/F-18/VF-1... The tailplanes having a greater span than the wings looks really really weird with the wings swept back though.

    I think Zero is near the bottom, story-wise, but I love the Sv-51, and to a lesser degree the 0D. (have NO desire for a 0A/0S, never have and never will buy one). But I've been waiting a decade for a 0D. The least they could do is get the main color right.
  21. David Hingtgen
    VF-0D looks worryingly "blue", it's as intense a blue as Max's -1J. Which it most certainly shouldn't be. ::edit:: Here's a quick tweak I did, to try to match the actual OVA/boxart. Left original, right mine. Grey-blue, not *BLUE!*. Not the color of Max's 1J. Yeesh, did Arcadia actually watch Zero?
  22. David Hingtgen
    Not TV-style, not purchasing. Serously, why do they only do the more complex/detailed DYRL ones? TV-style should be much cheaper/quicker/easier to produce....
  23. David Hingtgen
    A big chunk of the movie's enjoyment is based on "how much do you like Batman" (and even Batman memes). Do you enjoy HISHE-style Batman? Because that's the Batman here. (which is a hilariously awesome Batman IMHO) PS---if you really like Lego Batman, be sure to stay for the whole credits to hear the whole Batman song. (there is no after-credits scene though, so there's no reason to stay besides the soundtrack---including the Everything is Awesome remix)
  24. David Hingtgen
    Very good, but not quite amazing/epic. Best line in the movie is "meow". (really!) That, or Batman's last line. Tons of stuff for anyone of any age though, EVERY generation/series is referenced.

    They don't move, they're just "carved into the head". (never seen a valk talk yet!)
