Posted March 9, 201410 yr I'm a big fan of the micromanagers, and until I can build one myself that is movie accurate ( I kinda want to wait for the movie to come out on DVD for that) I might as well ask for Eurobrick's opinion. Edited March 9, 201410 yr by Tromboon
March 9, 201410 yr My two favourites are in Rescue Reinforcements and The Flying Flusher. Why? I like how big and clean the one in RR is and I love the stubby cuteness of the one in FF. Hope this helps!
March 9, 201410 yr My favorite is the one in metalbeard'd duel: it's HUGE, and if you need to transport robo SWAT troops, you can fit one inside! There's also arms and flick-fire missiles in it. I kinda like the two from the sea cow, too.
August 10, 201410 yr I'm surprised this topic hasn't seen more action. The Micro Managers are fully one of my favorite things about the Lego Movie sets! I looked forward to seeing what new feature each one would end up with, every time I opened a set! :D Of the eleven that we've got so far (with at least one more coming in January!!), I think the one in the 'Creative Ambush' has been my favorite. He's (its?) full cute, existing somewhere between the smaller ones and the large walkers. He has squat all for action features (a single flick fire missle), but he does have the longer arms that many of his similarily sized mates are lacking. After that, the net firing one from the Sea Cow set would be my second favorite. The feature is so simple, but works amazingly well! The tacky plastic/rubber fiber that the net itself is made of allow it to 'throw' with remarkable accuracy. Really, though, I adore all of these! I was a bit gutted that they weren't included with the last three sets, but I'm glad to see there are more on the way in January. :D
August 11, 201410 yr I wish the Lego Store would put 4 x 4 black plates back in the PAB wall so we could stock up on Micro Manager parts...!

August 11, 201410 yr I like the one from the castle set with the fold-out wheels and oversized front claw. I think it's because of the fold out wheel, really. Like, it doesn't even need to be there, because they all fly anyway, but that Micromanager just enjoys a good peel-out every now and again or something. Also Nthing the one in Metalbeard's set. It's big and stompy and intimidating next to a regular fig.
August 11, 201410 yr I actually prefer the one from 'Rescue Reinforcements' to the on that came with Metalbeard. It's got that extra arm, while mantaining the same imposing stature! :D
August 18, 201410 yr I like the MetalBeard one, since it has a cockpit and nice hatch on top, the Ice Cream Machine one for its "rapid-fire" magazine, and the RR one for its third arm and fold-out sides.
August 19, 201410 yr I'm hoping Creative Ambush goes on clearance sometime soon so I can get this guy: He's one of the more film-accurate MMs, no?
August 22, 201410 yr He's one of the more film-accurate MMs, no? Aye, he's my favorite too! He's full adorable. He's not really any more 'film accurate' than any other though. He's really short. Like, about 2/3 the height of the ones in the 'Rescue Reinforcements' and 'Metalbeard' sets. :D
August 22, 201410 yr Despite having little interest in the Castle Cavalry set, I have a real soft spot for the little wheeled Micro-Manager in that set. It looks both adorable and pathetic, zooming along the ground while other Micro-Managers stomp around or fly.

Each one has a full 'personality' to it, which is kind of amazing given the fact that they're all just little black boxes. Hahaha. I can't wait to see more in January! I kinda tried my hand at making new ones, but I've no skill for it. There are some great designs that pop up when you Google them though. :D
