  1. Thanks, I will. Anything else? Anything...Sexier? BTW, is all I do print them? They seem to big. I don't need to make them stickers, I'll just use tape or something.
  2. Thanks! And concerning the edges, those won't be a problem in later reiews. I am going to pic up some larger paper sheets hopefully this weekend.
  3. Ha, yaeh, I have that amazing game. I was listening to the songs on Youtube though. Decendance-Disturbed Fight the power- Korn
  4. Yes, I belive it is. And it comes with two! Whoops, poll added.
  5. Almost like I called that 10 pages ago you people need to follow my hints more
  6. Hello once again! This is VBBN 569, and today we will be reviewing the Police Helicopter. Now lego has released quite a few police helicopters over the years. So how does this one stack up? Read the review to find out! Set name: Police Helicopter Number: 7741 Pieces: 94 Theme: Lego City Price: 9.99 USD, 13.45 EURO 1/Box (pic is a bit messed up) The box is what we expect from a city set. Crisp, clear, and it is nicely sized to fit the set. I always like the tabs, so this set was fun to open. 2/Contents Instructions and stickers: One thing that is simply awesome with this set is that it included german stickers as well. It would have been nice if the normal ones were green or red, but oh well. The instructions are nice as well. Random manual image: Nice work by Lego. 3/build Minifig The minifgure is your basic Police pilot, and has a pair of binoculars and handcuffs. The handcuffs are very nice. They are much more realistic than the black ones from batman. Helicopter build: The helicopter is a very nice build. It uses some clever build techniques, and is enjoyable to build. Cockpit: Sorry about the dark pic, it was washed out with the flash. As you can see, the cockpit doesn't have room for a prisoner like the previous versions. But, if you remove the blue seat piece, there is room. More build: Next comes the tail. Simple and effective. Finished body: A very sleek design. And it was fun to build. Propellers: These were fun to build as well. And don't worry, they are proportional to the body. Finished product: ------------------------ Parts: 9.5/10 (I never owned a helicopter before, so this was nice for me.) Playability: 8/10 (great for Module city) Price-per-part 8/10 (spot on) Figs: 7/10 (Would have liked one more, and also a gun.) Overall: 32.5/40 81% B- The new police helicopter is an above average set. Great parts, colors, and those hancuffs are perfect. A gun would have been nice though. It's also nice to have alternate stickers. I am going to buy another one of these to add them on. The police helicopter is a cheap way to enforce your towns. It may have a rating of 81%, but I Highly recommend it. So remember, get one of these to enforce your towns! Now, go to work minifi- Oh dear. S@H link Bricklink 7741 Any questions, comments, etc, then post 'em!
  7. Oh YEAH. I gave it a 5 as well. And that steam shovel set is awesome...
  8. Hmm, is a black exo-force takeshi hair piece rare? I will get a pic later.
  9. I am a terrible customizer when it comes to minifg torsos, so could I have some stuff? My first request is basicly a custom torso piece in dark red to match this guys torso: Also, I need some female customs. I need a (skinny) female in a bikini (yello, not peach), and female face. Thanks to whoever makes these!
  10. I guess it's a good thing we have awesome looking gladiators next year instead of toa.
  11. Very nice. I might make a red one of these.
  12. Great review! Man, I wish I had about 5 of these for Module City... I wonder if I can find some in good condition.
  13. I wanted to see how well I did with review of a tiny turbo set, so here we go! I got this set with my brickmaster once. I'm not a fan of tiny turbos as sets, but they are excellent parts packs. So read on ! Name: Raceway Rider Number: 8131 Pieces: Unknown Bricklink: Link Price: 3.99 USD, 1.50 GBP The contents: I don't have it's little can anymore, but here we have the instructions and sticker sheet. I didn't appply the sticksers(as the set will be for parts), but they could be useful. The instructions are simple, and have instructions for the combo model. Parts: The parts with this set are pretty nice. Nothing new though. I'll let you look at them all. In build: Their isn't much to show for in build, but I have to say, it is very sturdy. It has an enjoyable build, and adds to the fun. I noticed a fair amount of detail for a Tiny Turbo. Finished Product: The finished product is okay. It's average for a Tiny Turbo. The back end is nice though. The colors are nice as well, but I would have liked some pink parts, not just the pink stickers. --------------- Parts: 8/10 (a cheap parts pack. No new pieces or pink pieces.) Price per part: 8/10 (unsure of the parts amount.) Playability: 7/10 (sets these size just aren't right to be cars. They should be minifig size. Their is much more playability in say, Speed racer.) Overall: 23/30 76% C Overall I would say that this is an average set. Especialy for a tiny turbo. However, if you would like these parts, you should definatly buy it. It's chap and has some great parts. Hope you enjoyed this mini review! Next up is a review of Police Helicopter, then for my 10th review, a Giant special review, featuring special guests Batbrick, VBBN(me), and Agent Chase17! Please ask if you have questions or pic requests!
  14. No loner in service. I only do smilies now. :)
  15. No... You pictures have something wrong with them therefore they aren't being displayed. I suggest you deeplink them.
  16. Thanks to whoever gave me my title! Anywho, my title probably came from the fact that I have been putting reviews out all week. I am already up to 7.
  17. I had the whole day today, so I decided to make some reviews. Next on my list is Jaller Mahri. By far the best of the Mahri, he is an outstanding toa of fire. Read on and you will see why. Set name: Toa Jaller Mahri Number: 8911 Pieces: 68 Year Released: Theme: Bionicle Team: Toa Mahri Colors: Dark red, orange, silver, mata red, black, mata blue, dark gray, trans-lime, trans-blue. Other Mahri Reviews: Kongu Mahri Price: 9.99 USD 12,95 EUR 1/Box Now I pretty much covered the boxes in my Kongu Mahri Review, which you can in the set info at the top of this page. But anyway, here are his box pics. The only differences are that it is for Jaller, not Kongu.(duh). 2/Contents Look at all of that! Beautuful instructions, shiny parts, and a bag full of fun. Instructions: I simply cannot bend these things to their original form. Anywho, they are crisp and clear. Random Manual Image: New/interesting Parts: We have quite a bit of new parts here. Also pictured are some interesting parts like the system chain. I will let you look at those awesome pieces. And I love that orange. 3/Build Torso: The torso sports some nice new armor. It really works well on the Inika torso. Legs: The legs on Jaller are very similar to the ones on Jaller Inika. In fact, the only difference is the color of the joints. But, they look fine and are surprisingly fluid with Jaller Mahri. Arms: The arms. Nothing new here. They are okay, but something new would have helped. .20 point deduction from parts. Finished Jaller: Back: Jaller is a very nice finished toa. The mata red on his cordak blaster seems a bit strange however. The mask and tube connection? A 1 point addition. Simply beautiful. But wait! There's a Hannah Crab! The crab uses a clever little design. The blaster makes him a little tipsy topsy though. The finished set: ------------------------ Parts: 9.8/10 (lots of new and interesting parts.) Playabilty: 9.5/10 (It's an action figure. And there is an extra rahi as well. However, I have removed .5 due to the un playable crab. The blaster weighs him over.) Price-per-part: 9/10 (quite a few small pieces. But still good for a bionicle.) Overall: 28.3/30 94% A- Overall, Jaller Mahri is a veru cool set. He has lots of nice new parts, and the crab addition makes this set complete. I feel the only thing really holding him back is the re-use of the inika torso, and the old arms. I would highly recommend this set to even the mildest bionicle fans. I hope you enjoyed this review! This will be my last Bionicle review for a while. If you have any questions, complaints, or pic requests, then post 'em here. Peeron link S@H link
  18. Thanks! And that would be a joker card.
  19. Welcome to Eurobricks.
  20. This here was a set that I new I had to get. A beautiful minfig, amazing minfigs, what more could you want? So was this set worth it? I guess you will just have to read the review to find out! Set name: The Batcycle: Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck Number: 7886 Pieces: 267 Theme: Batman Year: 2008 Price: 35.00 USD, 44.96 EURO 1/Box The new box art for batman is pretty stunning. It's clean, and really sells the set. For this set, Harley Quinn's truck is pictured attacking Batman, with the set information. The back of the box shows a nice little comic, the other sets, as well as the set functions. 2/Contents The instructions: The instructions for the set are, as always, clear and straightforward. They display the colors well, and have what we expect in an instruction book. 3/Build Minifigs: The stars of the set! Batman is back with a new torso, much more metalic than before. Harley had all new printed torso, legs, a new head, and that sweet new hat. Batcycle: The bottom part is very sturdy thanks to a small bit of Technic. The red throws it off a bit, but it isn't seen once the top part is put on. It has a nice use of the smoke stacks, and looks very nice in the end. The top part is simple, but suits the purpose well. It has handle bars, and a nice motor. The blue is a little strange though. Hammer Truck: The hammer truck begins with a very sturdy base. It has lots of detail, and really looks cool. Rims Added: Lego did a very nice job at giving it a checker board appearence. The only problem here is that you stick a sticker over two bricks, multiple times. Jewels: Inside of the crate are these shining jewels. Look how they illuminate the darkness in Gotham... More Added: Then, we add on a spoiler and the crate. Looking very nice now. The detail is again, outstanding, and It has a good amount of smoothness to it. The infamous Hammer! Okay, I haven't said this yet, but the square pieces need to stop. First on those SW backta tanks, now on the hammer? It creates a sloppy look for the hammer. Still, this is the ultimate wacking weapon. Added to the truck: On the truck it works pretty well. But the handle is to short, and it's near impossible to smash Batman. The finished truck: The finished truck is really nice. The big wheels give it the monster truck feel, and the way that Lego alternated the colors works well. The cockpit is a little palin, but that's not a major issue. The "I love Joker" sticker is one of the best stickers I've seen. It's simply a classic. The finished set: ---------------------------- Parts: 9/10 (Lot's of good mocing pieces, and red and black are always usefull.) Minifigs: 10/10 (Awesome!) Playability: 9/10 (the hammer is a little short) Price-per-part: 8/10 (It's a liscensed theme, so meh.) Set 7886 is a very nice set, and has some great details in it. The minifigs are very cool as well. However, their are some flaws. First, the hammer is two short, and is kind of square. The Batcycle has a few awkward colors in it, which throws it off a bit. This set is definatly worth the money. Batman fans will love it. And also wacking fans will like it, for that hammer... And if you would like to buy this set, Here are a few useful links: S@H link Peeron link Please let me know your comments. And pic requests and questions are welcome!
  21. Today my friends, I shall be reviewing set 8944 Tanma. Now I bought this set with lewa so that they could combine. Was it worth it? Well, you will just have to read the review to find out! Set name: Tanma Number: 8944 Pieces: A measly 14 Year released: 2008 Theme: Bionicle Series: Av-Matoran Price: 6.99 USD, 3.99 GBP, 6.95 EUR Colors: Lime green, Dark gray, silver, trans-lime green. 1/Box The Matoran of 2008 have some very interesting boxes. As opposed to the small box, they are now a cylinder-like box with a plastic lid and bottom. This might raise the price, which doesn't help the set any. The front of the box shows tanma and the information, and the back shows him combining with Toa Lewa. 2/Contents Here we have the contents. For the price of 6.99 USD, this set doesn't have much. He does have a butload of new parts though. In fact EVERY piece is new except the swords. Even the feet have a new design to them. Mask: Finally we get some new masks in Matoran. This one is awesome. It fits his character and would look great on a lime green toa. The mask gets a in my book. Head: The head is pretty nice. It has a cool alien feel to it, and it has a socket connection on the back. It has a "+" rod hole, so Nuva masks won't fit on this. 3/Build: Tanma is a very fast build. Faster than an impulse set. This is due to him only having 14 pieces. However, he does look very nice in the end, and he is quite poseable. Finished Product: The finished product looks quite nice. The legs seem a little puffy, but that is only a minor flaw. His mask looks great on him, and his weapons suit him perfectly. Action Pose: (I said he was poseable, but it was kinda hard to ge him in a good pose ) Combine!: He looks pretty good when on Toa Lewa, but If you are buying him specifically for that reason, I would wait until he is on sale. And remember, to infinity and beyond! Parts: 7/10 (A lot of new parts, yet only 14. And at a price of 6.99, that isn't acceptable.) Playability: 8/10 (The large parts make it hard to Moc with, and he isn't very good at creating many poses.) Price Per part: 4/10 (No. He should have much more than that. new parts or not.) Overall: 19/30 63% D- Tanma is a nice set, but He definitely isn't worth his full price. Since I got him with a gift card, he was much better than the final rating. Unless you find him on a good sale or are a Hardcore Bionicle fan, I don't think he would be on your list of things to buy. US S@H Peeron Inventory And also see my review of 8686: Toa Lewa Nuva Link. Any pic requests, questions, etc, are welcome.
  22. Just like dwarve's mine is exclusive to target. Thanks! I have a yellow seat, but I just thought it was interesting. As for the canopy, it really looks good on the finished truck; I like it. And that forklift could be the official one, and the rest could become parts...
  23. Happy birthday! It's nice and blue here. But somewhat cold....
  24. We want bookworm! I predict we will get some new Batman in 08...hopefully
  25. Glad to see you took my advice of removing those pics. A nice MOC you have here. I like the design that you have. The rope bridge connecting two seperate lans works very well. I give this Moc a (notice the academy style rating? )
