Thanks for the review PSPguy. I think this is a very nice little chopper... but the biggest reason why I will probably get this is for the handcuffs! :-D Are the side windows flush like the old ones or recessed like the new ones are supposed to me? (The look recessed to me. :-/ ) Yes, you're right. ;-)

Thanks for the pictures. I may have to get this one to add to my orange. *sweet* Well most people don't run screens at that res. I run both of mine at 1280x1024 and I think that the average still is 1024x768. Even so, I think people should limit image sizes to 800x600 or less. I tend to go for 650x488 myself. This is for a few reasons; You really don't need images greater than 650 in most cases It takes less time to load For many it is a good size for their screen

Call me a mindless fanboy, but I actually believe them. :-$ If they weighed them in the bags it would be quite accurate. I have weighed sets before using kitchen scales and found the variance is extreamely low. Even so, I do agree that it is odd that in the 80s this used to never happen, but today it is relatively common. I still have never had a missing piece myself and I have bought around 200 sets in recent times. (Several times I thought I was missing a piece, but every time so far it has come down to incorrect assembly or not checking the box, bag or floor well enough.) I have however had wrong colours (2 black train wheels in my 7897) and broken parts (motor in 8421). Both replaced with extras.

The checkers and dominos sets have turned up in K-Mart in Australia for $25. Not very compelling for me though. :-/

Why are you even making this post? If you want to go, then just go... or do you need us to hold your hand for that too? :-| Hobbes is not rude or obnoxious and he was right; there are plenty of shots on Brickshelf, as well as in catalogs, for example look here. As my great grandmother said, "Ask not what Eurobricks can do for you, but what you can do for Eurobricks." When you grow up, feel free to come back.

You have got me worried now; mine is arriving any day now. I hope that I have better luck. 8-|

I completely agree. It's why I doubt that Lego will replace them. They determined that kids want lots of bad guys, so they make lots of bad guys... Lame bad guys yes, but Lego do playtest these things so the kids concerned must have thought they were good enough. Once again though, the aliens don't bother me. I love the Mars Mission line.

I have a digital copy of most instructions and I was browsing though them one day and I was stunned to see this... expecially since I don't think it came down to Australia. I love it, and I really want that radio! :-P Thanks for the review AgentRick57. *sweet*

This line could have lasted a bit longer. :-/ Big Ugly Rock Pieces. Such as...

Well that is simply stunning! *wub* I love that technique. What can't be seen from that pic is that it has water inside. :-P Oddly though I can't see any steam trains in your layout... X-D (I did find a few in your folder though.)

Doesn't matter. All that matters is that I made the cut. *sweet* Thanks Joey! :'-) I just use cut and paste with Paint. That's how I did the Household items competition one. The impressive thing is that he typed that all out from memory. ;-)

I did. Hmmm. Cruising around my house in a white van.... 8-| Or are you hiding behind the tree?

It's only because you're so cool. :-$

Oh my! These are such great sets! *wub* I love the brick built jerry can; at first I thought that was a new piece! :-$ So much dark green, the ants look great. I'm not sure about the Temple set; that police/hospital plate is hard to use but it has so many other good pieces in it... 8-| Thanks for posting these legomilk. *sweet*

Congrats to Hinckley and Benk for your much deserved victory! *wub* Thanks for hosting the contest Zero1312. *sweet*

Most stores in Australia have Boxing Day sales... but I don't think any have any in my area have any big Lego sale planned. :'-( I plan to look anyway! X-D Where are you from?

Thanks for the review. I will probably miss this set as I have too many workers already! :-D I have a few of this head... It's one of the multipurpose heads, it's even been used as a viking! *wacko*

I'll try to make it happen. A man of your standing deserves to get out a bit. X-D

Exactly. I have a five year old 3.3 MP camera and you don't see too many blurry shots from me. Lots of light and a big lens is what you need! (My camera also has manual control... but I tend to only need it for really hard stuff like fireworks.)

Indeed I did! :-D I don't mind them... but I have only one. If I had several I would probably feel different.

Take a friend then. There's no shortage of them here. :'-)

You've taken your first step into a larger world. ;-)

If you like them so much how come you are complaining about them? *wacko*

What a beautiful tree. *wub* Merry Christmas... happy holidays.... *sweet*

To break our recent tradition it seems this poll will have clear winner(s). *sweet*
