Wow! Now there's a blast from the past! I played this way back when, and I remember being so frustrated with this game. Great job recreating this early video game, Sir Nelson. I would've never thought of doing something like this. Being that the old school video games were so blocky and lacking in d...

This is actually quite beautiful. The meaning behind it gives it that certain something that tugs at the heart.

It is very nice of you to remember your piano teacher in this way. LEGO can be very expressive, and at the same time, theraputic.

Wow. That is a very nice jibbly. Really. The parts used for the various physical "features" are well thought out. The poses are done well, which shows off the great articulation. The variant model without the bunny ears is also nice.

... jibblies indeed... :twisted:

Cool MOC! Like porschecm2, I have dial-up, and it takes too long to load pics. In fact, it took longer than usual with yours. But I managed to load a couple and the Moonbat looks really nice. I especially like the working cannon that line the ship. That's neat. And E of Ashire was right, the color i...

Heh! That's great! The Batmobile itself is nice looking, and as wunztwice mentioned, it's easily recognizable. That huge Batman head cracks me up!

I'm a Racers fan, and I think it would be fun to try something like this.

Wow. I'm glad my first ever review here was well received! I hope nobody bases their purchase/non-purchase of this set based on my pics. :wink: I think Castlers are either hardcore "realistic" castlers, in which case this set may only be useful for pieces, or if you're like me, you're more...

Oh, this is very nice! I haven't read the book either, nor seen the movie, but you have obviously captured a scene with great detail. The Caddy is awesome! Man, that is so cool! The characters look rather sleezey, which I believe you were trying for. And the whole scene with the stretch of highway a...

Fantastic creation! I love mini-creations, as well. The monorail with it's station is very nice. The flying ships are a nice touch, and I really like the classic ship sitting there.

This builder has a great imagination. I'm inspired!

Very nice figs! I think Wolverine and Professor X are my favs. I'm not much of an X-Men fan, but I do dig other Marvel superheroes, and this is inspiring simply because you made these as a LEGO purist. Very challenging, if you ask me, and it's something that I've not had much success with. I've been...

Huh, that's cool. Baba Yaga is a neat subject. She's from the Slavanic folk tales. Not only did her house have chicken legs at each corner, but it was surrounded by a fence made of human bones. She travelled either in a flying iron kettle, or a rolling log which she propelled with a wooden pole. I w...

Wow, how cool is that for Sly Pig to have his very own home! I like it! If I were a minifig, I'd live there. I really dig the blue on the house to match up with the little dude's theme.

Can't wait to see the other pics when it goes public.

And I really must come up with a sig fig of my own.

Oh wow! I actually stood under the Itsukushima Torii gate at low tide, back in 1994. It's located at Miyajima Island, and I must say that the entire island looks and feels like something out of a dream.

This brings back some wonderful memories for me. Great build!

Nelson, awesome job on the V-Pods!

My favorite is Boba Food, with Magic Mushroom in close second. Very creative. And I agree with architect, Boba Food could be a nice little set. I think it would be a hit with the Star Wars community.
