I got into comics through the Krakoan Era of X-men - from there I went back and read Messiah Complex, Hickman's Avengers run, Kieron Gillen's Iron Man and previous X-Men runs, and a few other big storylines. Now that Krakoa is over, and I've given the new era enough of a shot to find it wanting, I'm branching out a little bit more. My favourite ongoing comic right now is Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard's THE POWER FANTASY, which is just really good. It's very clearly born out of "things Kieron Gillen wouldn't be allowed to do with Professor X," but it is its own beast and a very thrilling story. Issue #4, the most recent, is like a Black Mirror episode in 20 pages.

I find myself using the minifigure posing stand very often these days. It's so great for holding things in weird places and building life into a scene.

Beautiful buildings. Love the front details and the red tile roof. That big Bionicle piece as a wrought iron cross is simply inspired.

I think the barbarian is female so she can be a discount Red Sonja minifigure.

It works with regular Castle shortswords as well.

He's talking about when the first Indy line was announced.

I certainly hope that we get more Green Lanterns. For me, and probably anyone else who grew up watching Justice League, John Stewart's the one and only. Actually, just do the TV Justice League. Superheroes and Castle fans alike would kill for the parts that would come in a Hawkgirl.

Blue pinstripe suit in the tripod set? Yes, yes, yes! Tenth Doctor, you may finally be finished!

As long as Pohatu doesn't kick the bucket I'm happy.

Vote: Carrie Price/CallMePie I'm sorry, but it appears that the town is set against you, and my first duty has always been to the city.

This certainly has been a strange, and worrying day.

I feel like a godfather would be above getting his hands dirty personally, so I think they're both out to recruit.

Oh man, that biplane and the bike sets are must buys for me. I like the look of the vehicles they've gone with - and check out that fine asp!

Commander Assassin, here's some more recommendations [i'm heavily biased towards open-world games] - inFamous - PS3 exclusive, good-sized city to wire-surf around in, and solid cover shooting. - Just Cause 2 - Literally the biggest world in a console game, full of crap to blow up and cheesetastic voice acting. Grapplechuting. - Assassin's Creed - A lot of people don't like this for the repetitive nature of the story, but it's three absolutely gorgeous cities to climb and one of the better video game stories. - Assassin's Creed II - Adds considerably improved gameplay and a ton of new mechanics to the original, drops some of the story's intelligence, and wraps it in Italian flair. Get this if you have any interest at all in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood later this year. - Batman: Arkham Asylum - Probably the best superhero game ever. - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames - Cheesier than JC2 and pretty buggy, but it's almost completely destructible, full of vehicles, and you can get it on the cheap.

Are the humans' vehicles modern, or do they have a sort of old time, The Mummy feel to them?

As a fellow Canadian I feel we should start calling them jumpdrives. It sounds so much more exciting.

Definitely going to be trying for the Indian Chief, Luau Girl, Pilot, Snowboarder, Elf, Monkey, Rapper, and Baseballer. Not so much a fan of the Sumo, F1, or Samurai. Bit let down by the boy-girl ratio - we have 3 girls, 2 indeterminate, and 11 boys? Come on! Why not replace the Rapper with a Lady Sov figure?

I'm in. Got my PM.

Despite the fact that I have [significantly] more than 25 posts, I haven't received my PM yet. Totally ready to play, otherwise.

Very nice! I quite like the windows - it's pretty hard to give Ezio handholds without making the building greebly as a spaceship, yeah? Think you'll do a Rome creation this winter? Or maybe a Desmond...I've never seen one of those!

Sign me up, please! My knowledge of the 1960's is quite extensive. I can quote period-accurate Doctor Who serials, and I've seen half an episode of Mad Men. I played in Noir Mafia and the latter half of Hogwarts Mafia, and also in Mafstraw Manor [now, if only I could remember that game's host...]

Because not everyone has Series 2 minifigures yet [they're not even available in some countries], and since building a scene relating to them is the focus of the contest, it puts everyone on level ground.

Another suggestion would be to take a tiny piece of saran wrap and put that between the head and hair.

Ooh, really looking forward to how this one turns out! I've got an idea for Category B...how does everyone feel about the music of Avril Lavigne?

I voted for the syringe and Spartan helmet - useful and long-awaited, respectively! Technically, the Skater's hair shouldn't be on that list - it was available on Lego Club Max just before Series 1's release
