Vader Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Great review and i love those comics X-D The dwarf helmets really look nice, real warrior helmets in my opinion. The beards are fantastic and i love the fact that lego has produced them to show hair at the back *y* , after the lack of beards in the viking sets they have really made up for it with these. *wub* The troll looks better than expected and as your comic showed, he can sure whack a fig :-D Quote
Hinckley Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 You're very welcome Hinckley. How much did this set cost you? I'm curious as to how much this will set me back... X-D $50 USD The troll looks better than expected and as your comic showed, he can sure whack a fig :-D Very important criteria! Quote
Vader Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 $50 USDVery important criteria! Very true though i am surprised that it was you recieving the whack and not our walrus friend ;-) Quote
Hinckley Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 Very true though i am surprised that it was you recieving the whack and not our walrus friend ;-) I can't always come out unscathed...then no one would want to be my friend... ...and the walrus foot won't fit in the troll's hand... :-( EDIT: Never mind, just checked and yes it will!!! *wacko* Quote

iamded Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Well, we already got Troll on Hinckley action... X-O :-P So, 50 USD, that's (according to the currency converter) 65 NZD, so it'll probably be 75 bucks most. That's cheaper than I expected, I thought it would be like, 100 bucks or something. What a pleasant surprise! :-D ~Peace Edited October 8, 2007 by iamded Quote
TheFrisian Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 If it's 50 US dollars, it'll probably be around 50 euros as well, maybe a bit more even. Sets usually tend to be a bit more expensive over here. Quote

I expect it to be around 50 euros also, much the same as the Skeleton Tower. If it's more then once again we will be having to pay more for being in europe. Quote

Sets usually tend to be a bit more expensive over here. I hope it's $50 USD. Knowing lego, if they print the word 'exclusive' on it they'll sell it for $70 USD! :-D Quote
Hinckley Posted October 8, 2007 Author Posted October 8, 2007 I hope it's $50 USD. Knowing lego, if they print the word 'exclusive' on it they'll sell it for $70 USD! :-D Except that I've already said I got it for $50... *wacko* Quote
TheFrisian Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hinckley, since you already got the set, may I ask you a question? It seems TLC has another great Castle line-up for the coming year, but I simply don't have the money to go buy the entire line (girlfriends cost money too you know, LOL). Would you say the Dwarfs Mine is worth picking up? Quote
Batbrick Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Anyone have any idea what the Dwarf's Mine is in Australia? Also, is this just an exclusive for now, seeing as it will also come out next year with the rest of the line? Answers would be appreciated. :-) TTFN! >:-) Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hmm, good question, BB. It is shown as a normal set in a few of the pics, but others show it as an exclusive. I think it'll just stay out a little longer, like the Aquaraiders Shipwreck only the other way around. (the shipwreck had the line come out first, then the exclusive. This time it's the exclusive first then the line) Quote
iamded Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 (edited) Well, this was featured in the 2007 catalogue. So, the Skellie Ship Attack was 70 USD. According to the currency converter I used, 70 USD is 92 NZD. But it's actually $100. So 50 USD will be, like, 70 bucks? That's my logic. :-P I can't wait! ~Peace Edited October 9, 2007 by iamded Quote

Thats good pricing! :'-) TTFN! >:-) Quote

If that dosen't work roll a newspaper up and smack her on the nose....Oh wait perhaps thats for animals only, hmmm might explain why that gal left me X-D Quote

Enjoy! :-$ Quote
szww Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Comic, like always, great and hilarious :-D just one thing....poor hickley minifig :-| one troll was for him not very healthy...but two trolls... :'-( just not fair Quote
Vader Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Nice moc you have there Hinckley *y* i like the way that you have moved the mine cart to the top, oh and always good to see some troll bashing :-D But why do i get the impression that your the Scratchy and Sinners the Itchy in these comics X-D Quote
Asuka Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 A wonderful work, Sinner Hinckley, and a great use of that raised baseplate! :'-) Very clever indeed! *y* Quote

If that dosen't work roll a newspaper up and smack her on the nose....Oh wait perhaps thats for animals only, hmmm might explain why that gal left me X-D LOL, probably true! But I'm too much of a nice guy I guess, seeing her happy makes me happy too you know :-$ Great second half of the comic Hinckley, couldn't keep myself from laughing out loud, especially at the end. Also, that's a very nice MOC, the layout of your mine seems much more practical! I see you got yourself a second Dwarfs Mine set, I think that answers my question whether or not this set is worth the money! :-D Quote
Sir Dillon Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Nice creation Sinner! err... Hinckley. Did you buy another set? See your basic problem there is your girlfriend..... Say look woman i know you want yet another pair of shoes...oh yes and a new handbag too but dammit i need my lego!!!! If that dosen't work roll a newspaper up and smack her on the nose.... How on earth are you married?! 8- Quote
Batbrick Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Whoa, Nice modding there Hinckley! Even if Sinner claimed it! :-P Seems like the Dwarf Mining is definitely worth it then, seeing as you bought 2. *sweet* TTFN! >:-) Quote
