jamie75 Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 Really? Where do you live? US? Europe? I live in Saginaw, Michigan, USA! I still plan on picking up the Crystal Reaper and Hypersonic Operations Aircraft, just haven't had the time to run and get them yet. Let alone built them right now. Hopefully this week! The alien ship, I am passing on! Just doesn't appeal to me. Reviews and pics will follow, if I get over there!! Jamie Quote
jamie75 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Just a little update! I finally got over to TRU and got the Crystal Reaper. I have a ton of stuff to do today and will build it tonight or tomarrow. The pics and such will follow then. They were sold out of the Hypersonic Operations Aircraft. When they got more, I will pick it up. Should be a week of 2. Jamie Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know if we can expect to see 7649 Drill thingy in Australia? If so would it be a TRU exclusive? always good to keep the eyes peeled. I thought i had gotten out of MM but they have drawn me back in with this behemoth of a drill machine/mecha and the crystal reaper. sigh cash away.....! Edited June 2, 2008 by I Scream Clone Quote
Algernon Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 It's a TRU exclusive, and I see no reason for it not to be available in Australia... Quote
ClubNinja Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Has anyone tried the Power Functions modification of the Crystal Reaper yet, as described in the building instructions? I built the model Saturday night - really like it - and was thinking of going all out with it by making this upgrade. Quote
Svelte Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Has anyone tried the Power Functions modification of the Crystal Reaper yet, as described in the building instructions? I built the model Saturday night - really like it - and was thinking of going all out with it by making this upgrade. I did it last night and it's great! I used the power function things from the Monster Dino Creator set and one extra small motor from S@H. It is the best use of power functions I've seen so far and it's such a great idea to integrate these into new sets. Oddly they don't seem to plug this on the box though. It zips along and steers well - the only problem is that the battery box is so heavy that if it goes too fast it tends to tip backwards - but I was running it on carpet - I don't know if this makes a difference. Totally fun and functional. Quote
Algernon Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Does anyone know when that Ultra-Drill Walker comes out? Quote
jamie75 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Sorry guys, I had every intention of doing a review for the Crystal Reaper, but, we had some wicked weather here in Saginaw and I lost power for about a week. I see there is now one up, so I will pass on doing one. His is review is spot on and his pics are better then mine. Here is a link to review I speak of, hope it is cool to link to it, 7645 Review. Also, I want to show you guys the view from outside my house and down my street. Scary stuff!! Anyways hope everyone understands and wasn't looking too forward to my review, another was posted for your enjoyment!! Later, Jamie Quote
Spacefan Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Also, I want to show you guys the view from outside my house and down my street.Scary stuff!! Anyways hope everyone understands and wasn't looking too forward to my review, another was posted for your enjoyment!! Later, Jamie Sheesh! With stuff like that happening there, I can definitely understand why Lego would be put on the back burner for the time being. I hope everyone's alright... Quote
Bender Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I hope nobody got hurt too. I had bad weather here too. It started raining so much that when I drove home,I couldn't see anything from the car window. And I heard lightning at least 5 times. But it ended in an hour. -Bender Quote
Dovchenko Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Oh no! They're back!! bleh... Thanks loads. Quote
metalandi Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I don't think this has been posted yet, but the instructions for the Ultra Drill Walker are now up: Book 1: http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildin...ons/4538485.pdf Book 2: http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildin...ons/4538486.pdf Quote
Algernon Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) For whatever reason they won't load for me, but thanks a ton- this set looks amazing! EDIT: DUDE... I got it to work and now I was this set 10x more! It's got decals, and the minifigs have backpacks! Edited July 8, 2008 by Algernon Quote
Svelte Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks for these, metalandi, it looks better than expected. I do agree with whoever said earlier that it could be a modified exo-force model, though. Quote
Algernon Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I don't really see how... unless you mean LEGO took out the crap and added awesome. Quote
The Rancor Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I think we've already got these pics but thanks for resurrecting them Quote
Algernon Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I like the canister thing on the back... cool detail. Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I'm amazed there is so little in this thread - so little said about the 08 MM sets They are incredible - and anyone that owns them will know Quote
Racer-18 Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Nice sets, hopefully it will continue strongly into 2009, but i'm still not convinced on the alien figures. I have a feeling that Lego could have done a better job there, but whatever, we have to put up with what we've got and the overall sets are very good. Quote
Algernon Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 MM is discontinued. I'm glad, because that will make room for another space line, but I'll miss it at the same time. Quote
Toa_Of_Justice Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Has anyone seen this video on LEGO.com that shows how to install Power Functions on the MT-61 Crystal Reaper? It's surprisingly humorous, especially at the end. -Toa Of Justice Quote
The Rancor Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Yer Toa of Justice. I've seen that video. It almost makes me want to buy the Crystal Reaper! Quote
