That is because Soundwave is awesome. Tied with Starscream for coolest Transformer.

He sure is. I loved Starscream too, but I liked Skywarp better (because of the colors that is)

And back on topic: Damn... that is one beautiful MOC!
 
I noticed yesterday that in the lounge on the floor of my dorm right above me, there's both the millennium falcon and jabba's barge sitting out on display. nice, and a jarring reminder of how no one here fears theft at all.

Where do you live? Funny you should say that, at the building where I work we just had two bikes stolen yesterday. EXPENSIVE bikes, too. Fuckin' thieves, man.
 
Awesome job on the MOC PhoncipleBone. It was really sweet to see your progress and now the final outcome right next to the other modulars.
 
This might interest some of you architecture builders, if you don't already have it.

Diagon Alley 10217! back in stock at MSRP

I don't believe they are modular, no, but great for pieces or if you are simply a HP fan

(Do keep in mind that the HP line is being discontinued, there will be no more sets)
 
Dangit. I wish Amazon would start carrying the Monster Fighters sets. TRU has their LEGO tax, Target has shipping and regular tax, and Wal-Mart doesn't have them yet... I have a return credit at Wal-Mart that I wouldn't mind using, but I'd definitely preferto go with Amazon. Grumblegrumble...

That is just the world's way of telling you to save the money until the Haunted House set comes out. :)
 
I need all those too but figuring they just came out so can hold off and wait for a sale.

I bit on the Helms Deep b&n sale; should be waiting for me at home today.
 
When does that Zombies set come out? Or is it out already? If it is, guess I'm making a trip to the Lego store.

LEGO S@H has it listed for August 1. CAN'T WAIT. Gonna need to MOC some additional graves and crypts for it, though. And I was lucky enough to work a trade with wetwired for one of the Series 1 Zombie figs!! So awesome! I had ZERO interest in the Monster Fighters line just a month before it came out. LEGO did an amazing job with the theme, in my humble opinion.
 
Is there a RRP for the Haunted House in AUD yet? My usual guys have it listed for 299.95AUD, but when it actually goes on sale, I'm guessing it'll be more around 250AUD. I dunno. I think it looks very nice, but a bit sparse somehow.
 
The Imperial Shuttle from Target came in today. Not even 15 pages in and I find out that i'm missing a tan gear for the wings (I think). Searched for quite a while because I do not want to wait even longer to build this but nothing turned up. Ordered a replacement and plan on seeing what I can build without it for now but seeing as how it's a pretty big component inside the body of the shuttle that whole section will have to be leaved alone.

You can skip ahead and build the fins, but I would not continue the body, it's tough to get back into.

It is not going to work without that freaky tan gear. That is vitally important to the mechanics of the Shuttle. Sorry it is missing.

Thankfully, it shows up in a few cheaper sets, like this:

Best suggestion. Skip ahead, build all the fins and maybe even the cockpit. But you cannot go back and add the gear into the body later, as it is really sealed up.

EDIT:
I did not modify the interior to my Cafe MOC tonight, but I did build many of the details I plan on just snapping in once I close off the second floor:

Built a series of couches and comfy chairs for cafe patrons to use on the second floor.


It ain't called a "love seat" for nothing.


Awkward...


HULK ENJOY CAFFEINE!


WHY MAGNET MAN CRASH HULK'S PARTY!?


Soda machine to get installed on the first floor. Because not everyone wants coffee.
 
Love the soda machine, Phonc!!

I need to find time to work on my current project: building the Mini Modulars in their bags. After 3 hours, I'm only on step 8 of Cafe Corner.

Trying to figure out what else I may have room for on the first floor after soda machine. Dunno if I will have room for a coffee airpot for refills. If not, just a trash can and maybe condiment bar.

Once I make a solid base for the second floor, I think all the chairs and couches I made should be more than enough.

I know the town hall was more reasonably priced compared to previous modulars so hopefully it'll be $250, I can handle that, though I need that ghost\clock polybag to go with it
 
shopforme has it listed at $299.95 which will be the RRP for sure. Town Hall started at $250 but Lego obviously realised that was too much of a bargain for us.
 
So...I've been considering trying to part out some UCS kits, specifically the Snowspeeder and X-Wing. Anyone else ever do this? It must be cheaper than actually buying the sets, but I'm wondering if it's still a bit too pricey.

Edit: Haha, man, found the sticker sheet for the Snowspeeder. Only $168.00! Figured those would be expensive.
 
Doh! Hit the wrong button in my iPhone, thanks!

And speaking of Lego Batman 2, anyone else picking it up next week? I am, definitely looking forward to it.

I was gonna get it for dat Vita, but I read they're not porting the console version but making it a level-based game, similar to the DS and 3DS versions.
 
Began parting out the Snowspeeder. Looks like it will come to around $200, probably less, unless some of the pieces I'm missing turn out to be super expensive. As for the stickers, it might have to be stickerless, unless I can find a cheaper solution.
 
Speaking of stickers; are we able to get replacement sticker sheets from Lego customer service? The x-wing I built last week only had 3 of 4 engine stickers on the sheet. I looked in the box and every page of the manual. No missing sticker anywhere.
 
I realize talking about Mega Bloks in the LEGO thread is blasphemous but as a Blizzard/Warcraft fan and a LEGO fan these sets really excite me:

I wish they were done by LEGO instead but it will still be fun to get some of these sets.
I'm sure to pick up some of these. Will be my first ever Mega Bloks. Heard nothing but middling reviews about their Transformers sets... :( I hope they have taken some feedback to heart and gone the distance to make these much better quality

I'm still getting the Vita version. I got it for $19 so if it's really THAT bad I'll deal with it. It will have achievements so that's a bonus. Still going to get it on PC as well so I can experience the open world aspect

Transformers is Kreo. Mega Bloks is Halo
