  1. You're welcome, and indeed I shall!
  2. Well, you talked me into it and I've ordered. What can I say but... Spaceship. Spaceship? SPAAAAACESHIIIIIIP!!! 😄 M'Kyuun, really great use of those leftover pieces there! Its kind of amazing what you can do with random assortments of Lego pieces; I wound up with a small set once with random bricks and things and set myself a similar challenge of building something with the leftovers and wound up with a jet-hover-sled... er... thing! Nothing compared to your fork lift and loading dock though!
  3. Yeah, I've seen a few of those sites/videos myself, always like it when they review "classic" Lego because in some cases I either had the set involved or at least saw it on the shelves at the time. I've mainly got modern Lego based on a couple other interests of mine - "Star Wars" and "Doctor Who" and I'm never going to be a "serious" collector but Lego Space has so many memories for me... argh, the temptation! 😄
  4. M'Kyunn, just to say thanks for the awesome review. I've been umming-and-ahhing on this for some time, and I still don't know if I'll get one (space - no pun intended! - is a factor) but I appreciate your time and effort.
  5. Hailing frequencies closed, Captain. 😔
  6. Silly me, how obvious! 😄
  7. I am still trying to figure out exactly what reference they used on that figma Venus to model the... erm... opposite side from...
  8. I hadn't heard the South Korean comments, but had heard yes, later iterations were planned to have internal carriage. The easiest solution that springs to mind is a stealthed weapon pod as was proposed for the F/A-18 at some point? It could be that stealth is not quite as much of a priority for them given their likely in-mind adversary; those are four Meteors which are almost certainly going to be superior to anything North Korea has and if other, larger neighbours start getting antsy they're buying the F-35 anyway.
  9. It’s been on the cards for a while but I think the speed with which they’ve got to a weapons-mock up carrying stage (which is unusual in itself) has caught everyone by surprise. Semi-conformal carriage on a stealthy airframe is an interesting one.
  10. Bit rich coming from someone who used to fly a modified F-104… (one of the many designs over the years for the Batjet)… 🙂
  11. Thanks for the information, at least I know I haven't misassembled anything. I can get the arm to hold in one position, as long as its resting against the body a little. Just for the record, I've had the trouble pretty much out of the box.
  12. Regards the Lego Optimus Prime - has anyone else had trouble with the arm staying in position when holding the Ion Blaster? Mine has a tendency to drop to a lower position and doesn't seem to want to stay in place. The issue seems to be the elbow joint not holding its tension. I don't have much experience with a Lego kit of this scale, but as far as I can tell I've assembled the arms correctly. Is this a common problem with the type of elbow joint used?
  13. So is the Chinese Sprey complaining yet that the J-35 isn't as good as the original MiG-21 yet? 😉
  14. That didn't take long! Wot, no Roller? 😉
  15. Yes, just for clarity, I did mean an official one. Thinking about it, has Lego ever produced a sticker that would be as long would presumably be needed for the trailer sides? 😄
  16. By the way, I'm surprised no-ones asked this yet (AFAIK)... are they ever going to do a trailer for OP in future, I wonder?
  17. Lego G1 Soundwave would be the one I’d love to see. I mean, the guys practically a brick in alt-mode anyway!
  18. Fourteen: https://gizmodo.com/doctor-who-14th-doctor-ncuti-gatwa-1848896896 Some articles have shots of him with a 'tache, which would be an interesting look. Turn-Doctor Turn, Turn-Doctor Turn, TURN-DOCTOOOORRRRR!!
  19. I sent this to a non-anime watching friend of mine and they asked if “20AU” was some kind of typo… 😄
  20. For those of us on my side of the gaming pond, its been a celebratory month; that humble rubble-keyed wonder, the colour-clashing 8-bit icon, Uncle Clives most successful child, the working persons micro - the ZX Spectrum is 40 years old!
  21. Just to put an end to any future speculation, following recent events, the An-225 is definitely gone.
  22. At the time, electromagnetic catapaults were still a bit... that'll be nice. Someday. And it wasn't just the means of getting the aircraft off the carrier, it was the aircraft itself, the choice of which also included a proposed naval Typhoon... Today has been a good day for military aviation history buffs to have some fun:
  23. I can't criticise too much, my government delayed an aircraft carrier because it couldn't decide if it should have catapaults or not... 🙂
  24. I try. 😃 Though having been there, quite why Canada needs an air force in the first place baffles me, I've seen the mosquitoes in action... (er, the insects, not the Wooden Wonder), 😄
