JimBee Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 You are right... Hinckley is the exception I made wisps of wind with the mudgaurds. See here. Also, they were used as part of the turrets in Clone Battle Packs. Anyways, good attempt, hopefully your last four will have more hated pieces. Quote
KimT Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Why do You use the mudgards for chairs, if You hate them? That doesn't make any sense Great comic strips KimT Quote
MacK Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 I really should have posted earlier about these great comics I can see your point on some of the pieces such as flesh tones and giant car bases, but a few of the other ones I don't agree with. Still excellent job on the comic's I can't wait to see more, hopefully staring some of the badest of the bad pieces that Lego has designed . Quote
rupi Posted August 3, 2008 Author Posted August 3, 2008 Why do You use the mudgards for chairs, if You hate them?That doesn't make any sense Great comic strips KimT Thank's. I'm glad people liked the comics... About the "mudguards", I hate them as mudguards, but they make good chairs and window arches and other stuff... Quote
metalandi Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 You are right... Hinckley is the exception They are both bad, but that piece I can't see how to use it as a chair or window arch, so is just another <insert that tiresome argument> big piece like so many others doesn't even deserve my attention You are an exception yourself man, cause you used them in your comic and it actually looks good Quote
Fikko3107 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Is this discussion over? cause i really want to see the number 8th... Quote
PsyKater Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 It's obviously over since nobody posted here for more than 4 years. Though I have to thank you for bringing this up. It was great reading these. Quote
badboytje88 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Wow how could I have missed this?! There are some parts I agree with, and some I really don't. - Flesh At first I hated it, then I loved it, then I started hating it again. Now I really like both yellow and flesh figs. I do not like mixing the two colours though. - Exoforce Hair I never really got what was going on with those guys. Although I wouldn't use the hair as hair for a regular person it can be used for a clown or a punker. I personally use the green and purple hair as lettice or cabbage. - Huge assecoires Most of these assecoires are made to go with the belville or scala figures which are a lot taller than LEGO figures. Therefor the assecoires are taller too. Guess LEGO didn't want to make new smaller molds. - Colour difference While I hate color difference in sets I love it when it comes to MOCs! - Mudguards I've seen these babies used in so many wonderfull ways I could simply not hate these parts!

Brig. Brick Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Though I have to thank you for bringing this up. It was great reading these. seconded!. This topic, and more important, the fun mustn't stop! - Flesh At first I hated it, then I loved it, then I started hating it again. Now I really like both yellow and flesh figs. I do not like mixing the two colours though. Amen to that!...it's definitely imposible to see the Wonder Woman with flesh body and yellow head!... the simple mixing makes me headache !.... licensed: fleshies... the rest: yellow... they are like water and oil my friends!... expensive "oil" over the most common and old "water".. if you know what I mean! - Exoforce Hair I never really got what was going on with those guys. Although I wouldn't use the hair as hair for a regular person it can be used for a clown or a punker. I personally use the green and purple hair as lettice or cabbage. cabbage! good one!...... I have to make a confession! Exo force was one of the responsible of the entry in my dark age on lego years ago!... oh gosh!... how I hate those wigs and those manga faces! - Huge assecoires Most of these assecoires are made to go with the belville or scala figures which are a lot taller than LEGO figures. Therefor the assecoires are taller too. Guess LEGO didn't want to make new smaller molds. how about the viking-space swords? ... Lego, you "spilt the milk" on that! - Colour difference While I hate color difference in sets I love it when it comes to MOCs! amen to that! I have at least... four types of bluish gray colors.... hate them when I receive the changes... but in the mocs... which rocks are of the same color? BUT... don't confuse the innocent change of colour against the chance of quality... remember the yellow-lime pandemic on our poor minifigs! a.k.a cheap plastic! - Mudguards I've seen these babies used in so many wonderfull ways I could simply not hate these parts! those are useful..., well at least to the same purpose: cars!. But I hate those lego pieces that are used only in one form and with only one purpose!.. killing the lego meaning I think I speak for many here when I say... we want the final countdown!

harton Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I agreed, I want some more! Sometimes I really ask my self about they are thinking at Lego HQ, when it is time to create some new pieces. I remember when they did the Echo base Set 7749, they use the banana part to make the defense of the Taun Taun, it was really ugly... Well done and Keep updating! Quote
tedbeard Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Best necro-post of 2012! I want the series to finish now. :) Quote
Vindicare Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Definitely don't care for the oversized accessories. But, those "mudguards" are fenders, are they not...more like fender flares I suppose. But, when I think mudguards, I think the flaps behind trucks. Funny comics and neat list, it's a shame it wasn't finished. Quote
Gunman Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 what a great thread.... haha you got great sence of humor Quote
Palathadric Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 "rupi" hasn't logged on in over a year, so I don't think we'll be getting updates. A real shame because it was a lot of fun reading this! I have to say thanks for bumping the topic. Quote
LEGO Historian Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Gettting back to the 4 year old discussion about the flesh colored minfig heads... the first use of a different color... was WAY back in 1977... the year before minifigs (as we know them) was introduced. There was a 215 Indians set with the large scale Homemaker set style heads... and one of the figures was a small American Indian papoose.... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?I=215-1 This used the rare solid stud red (no face) minifig head. This was the first and only time for many decades that a minifig head would be of a different color... Quote
