That is correct - Kai's hair was taken from the Sleepyhead CMF, but its not an exact match. The rest of the ninjas' hair can be culled from other kits.

Yeah, I am really LTTP with Ninjago but my nephew just got into it, I bought him the golden dragon but I haven't told him yet, he is gonna go crazy when he finds out
I have Weathertop and I really like the set and the two Nazgul Horses and riders!

I'd call Weathertop the best LotR themed set yet.

This Firestar Toys site... do they charge shipping? Because if so then i suppose BrickLink is cheaper most of the time hmm... I like the layout of the site though!
yes they charge shipping, it's airmail (cheaper) or traced airmail

I just noticed Brickset took away the US prices on the european amazon tracker!
Good thing too, that way we Euros no longer have to be forced to look at these ridiculous price ranges in comparison to our own

That is crazy good detail, I half expected him to include some zombies but it works better without any characters...those curved walls technique...I must steal it for my own now...making curved walls is tough and I always enjoy seeing other people do it so I can figure out my own ways of doing it!

Ironically, I just finished building this today. Unfortunately, my pictures are not anywhere near as good.

Fun fact, the tower of Pisa isn't the (unintentionally) most tilted tower in the world, in fact it's a little village church tower about 10 minutes away from the town where I was born.

Haha.. not too bad. Here would be my version (yes I was bored):
Haha, I got a good laugh out of the Bond and Joker images.
More from Nuremberg:
meh to these style of planes...
The CIty Starter set... so you can get the little ones primed for the crime-and-fire-ridden township that is LEGO City.
The new-style horse armour. Liking the neck-piece.
The dragon, while not a brick-build, looks pretty cool. I may not get most of the Castle sets, but I will probably get the one that this is in.
The Lion Temple is looking better every time I see it... its bigger than I thought and I love the flowing water effect they have here.
The new eagle bike looks almost a little TRON-inspired.
Still have not seen the rhino or the bear, though apparently they are still coming. Also, that fox is looking a lot like a certain Sonic character.

So I just started with the Fire Brigade. Opened up all the bags and put then in two of organisers.
I noticed that there are a couple of rather large pieces. Not sure how i feel about them.

The award-winning Lion Temple.
Five different models? Looking forward to seeing them all.
Looks like the HS can be reconfigured a number of ways, using those technic pics.
The yacht is better furnished than some of the modulars... and two dolphins!
This set would go so well with the CMF surfers!

The only other set I have built till now that had stairs was the Farnsworth House and I like how the stairs were built with plates and tiles.

The Farnsworth stairs were cool. But for the modulars and playsets, I like having studs on the staircases. Better to pose figures with.
I still think the high school is worth a buy (and what are the technic pins on the side for?), but you are right the yacht is king - who cares if its a Friends set.

I don't care. The Friends line has some really cool stuff going for it. More people on here need to give some of the sets a try just to see how fun they are.
We should have the next MOC contest be a thematic one instead of set based. Make a Friends style set, or Castle. Something not many people have dabbled in or that have very few sets out there.

Whoa, two heavy cannons hiding on The Titan there? That set ain't messing around.

Exactly. Although there is a lot of color clashing in the Friends line lately. But the sheer whimsical inventiveness of the Friends stuff is so great. Need to grab more of them.
That Friends yacht is a must have. The School looks interesting at first glance, but does feature big wall pieces and lots of stickers.
Definitely want the race transport and Chima minifigs.
Don't care for Lion Temple, but those new trans blue pieces are awesome.

I couldn't help myself and I went and bought the A-Wing and Arctic Batman sets for Australian Lego prices. I feel dirty but the sets are soooo cool.
Admittedly I'm just looking at it on my phone but other then what looks like a power drill it seems like the standard tool wheel.
I am liking the two trucks though. I'm a sucker for the town car models.
You should live in Sweden, the hate from the political correct crowd over the friends line was insane. The fun part is that the Lego community seems to like them, which did not make the PC crowd happy

It's 3rd party.

3rd party stuff is another slippery slope. Tread carefully.
BrickBlogger has some good articles on 3rd party stuff.

Most of my kits are in the basement in their respective boxes. Now that I have my dedicated LEGO room, I am starting to build them up (some again, some for the first time), starting with the modular buildings.
In the interim, here is my son's Ninjago collection (minus some 2012 and 2013 sets which are being stored elsewhere):
So jealous seeing all 4 dragons together. I have the fire and ice ones. I'm not fond of the 4 headed one, but did get the golden dragon.

Man, I wouldn't have put that Titan set away from playing for a long time if I had that one as a kid. Looks like an amazing set to actually play with, hope the kids will appreciate it.

I want this so bad, click the support so it can hit 10,000 so lego manufacture it.

Liking the high school. Looks like there's finally more than 1 male friend minidoll now.
Definitely getting the set with the dragon mainly for the dragon.
Liking the other Chima animals. I noticed the gorillas have giant metal gloves or something. Those will be useful.

The dolphins have bows? Sadness. I will have to rig up something and replace them with lasers or some missiles.
I'm on board with you guys. It's only been just over 1 year from coming out of my dark ages, but I don't think I recall any yacht or type of school sets. There are many of the sub $20 Friends sets I find interesting that I don't think city ever covered.

That is Alanis Morissette-levels of irony there my friend
I picked up the Ar(c)tic Batman set too. The ice boat is pretty cool, but the minifigs are awesome. Especially Mr Freeze!
