What!?! Not great? This set is a flippin' robot! Playability alone should be 10! Great review however. You should join RA.

I'm on the same boat as you. I'm for Italy, but I won't be bothered if Spain wins.

Noice. That torso is perfect for MC, and the AQ gun + binoculars is awesome! Kudos to Lego for making that piece!

Make sure you don't keep them like that. The connection point could get stressed and it could snap.

I'm not so sure about the Shuttle, but the SSD will definitely still be available. UCS sets are usually around for 3-4 years. I know it's not a UCS, but look at the DS playset. It's been around since 2008!

How about the 3rd place game in the 2010 World Cup? It was better than the actual final!

It bothers me that they abolished the 3rd place game. Germany vs. Portugal would've been an amazing match!

Um... did you watch the match? Italy played the counter attack well, and defended amazingly. It helped that Buffon got a couple good bounces, but other than that, Italy was the better team. Germany's defence was in shambles for the goals and their attack was foiled too easily. And I don't see why Italy beating Germany is an upset either. As you said Italy is way more experienced. Germany has the youngest squad in the whole tournament! It'll be interesting to see what Germany does in 2014

Germany looked way out of it. Italy totally deserved it. After watching Italy's first game and Netherlands tank, I switched to Italy, and it has paid off! Now Sunday's match will be amazing, or very very boring... Hahahaha I actually LOL'd when I read this. Congratulations my good sir!

18,000 minifigs? That is gonna be too big. Even 1000 is a lot. Take a look at this: This is Yankee Stadium in micro scale, and that holds 58,000, so imagine how big a minifig scale one would be! There's also this mini scale Ohio Stadium: And this minifigure scale Allianz Arena: So as you can see, this is gonna be a huge project. Good luck planning, designing, and building this thing! For some inspiration, here is a minifig scale hockey rink, but it's not even close to a 18,000 seater!

In that case, try an elevator! That would be really cool!

I for one do not like this set, but it does have its own niche audience. For that price, I would definitely chose another set.

I would agree and say the Golden Age is right now, but I don't see how 2009 was. In my opinion Lego took a hit in terms of set quality in 2009, after improving from 2006-2008. After 2009 however, things have been good.

Agreed. I'd rather see Germany vs. Italy in the final.

Italy definitely deserved it. I'm confused why Welbeck started though. He hasn't done anything other than that fluke goal. Andy Carroll would've been more effective, which was apparent when he came on.

Great job! I love the fins, but I think the face could use more depth (make it less flat)

Wow!! All I can say is Y U NO ENTER TO MODULAR MADNESS?

Brian May could also pass for Ozzy Osbourne without his shades.

Definitely the worst match so far...

Great pictures! Mind deeplinking them here, for more exposure and easier perusing?

You know you could have easily gone to the store and exchanged it for the Xbox copy...

Looks good. While it might not be accurate, I would remove the green tile and green cheese grater and cover the whole side with a plate or tile or whatever, cleaning up the sides a bit
