The LEGO Corner

ooh is it out now??? where did you pick it up?

hope the Portal set gets green lit!! its under review at the mo....

Hey
I grabbed it from the Stratford Westfield store at lunch. Turns out that the UK stores are now selling it as a nod to customers because it is being sold at comic con this weekend

Just built it. It took a few hours, which for a set this size says something. Build is good and the finished car is great. The figs are fantastic I cannot recommended this one enough, it is great...

:shock: I WANT ONE 8)

Post up some pics

Now that is cool 8) 8)

OK - On demand..,
The set is better than it looks, it provides enough parts and instructions to adapt the car to each of the three film. I have it in Part 3 mode right now as i think that is the best look, love the red wheels and the bonet box
Enjoy

8) Yeah that rocks my world 8) looks ace

Are there limited stocks then? Tell me all that you know about availability please

I don't think the stock is limited.
The official sale date is 1st aug and it will be on the lego shop at home website and all brand stores. This one should be easy to pick up. It is a Cuusoo model so I don't know how long it will be on sale but the last Cuusoo model (Mincraft) is still about 6 months after release and in fact Lego announced at comic con today they are now turning it into a line with 2 new models.

I wouldn't panic, if you can't get to a store order online in Aug.

i shall definitely be picking this up at some point in the future. though you have left me penniless Matt....

That's good to hear, cheers Matt

Will be at toys r us tomorrow so will be on the look out

Mumbo - You won't get this at toysrus (at least right now) this is a Lego exlusive so only from their own bricks and mortar stores or their website. Basically Shephards Bush or Stratfford (Westfields) in London or online from the 1st Aug.

Why did I not notice this thread before :? :roll:

Scott - that is so good mate, Glasgow has a Lego store and I have a long overdue visit to make!!

That delorion looks awesome. Was meant to have a look in Toys R Us yesterday while I was there but some Star Wars event was going on and I was a bit distracted!!!

So, i have been playing around a bit with MOCing some Jurassic Park figures and a vechicle, quite a well troden path by others if you check the net but it is a great IP to play with. Plan on doing a 'Guest Jeep' maybe the clasic T-Rex pen scene or something with the guest centre, just a facade realy to display rather than a full model, not money or space for something that big

So here we have 5 figures and car.

Alan Grant
Ellie Saddler
Ian Malcolm
John Hammond
Robert Muldoon
Classic JP Explorer

oh and one Lego t-Rex

Not had much time for Lego of late, but have put together this small scene. the hardest part was the Jeep, it ended up being 5 lugs wide with invereted parts everywhere, nightmare to build but it needed to remain in scale with the larger tour vehicle (posted above) i am waiting untill double VIP points next month before ordering more parts then it will be onto having a crack at the JP gates... been done i know but hey - why not.

Thta's so good mate - god knows what the wife would say I came home with lego and it wasnt for our son :roll:

Spare bedroom me thinks

Finally got some time to have a pop at my JP Gates, this is a first effort, not bad i can see a few things i might change but we will see.
Also I picked up these Lego/Marvel covers - THEY ROCK...

Off topic guys but sainsburys have a great sale on been there today Xmas shopping for the kids and noticed all the lego has between 25 and 50% off

Guys hopefully this is the right place to post this question...

Its not Lego Star Wars but I picked up a few Vintage Lego Spaceman Mini-figures on the Bay for a good price..

the price is so much better than others that are for sale I got repro paranoia...

The moon logo on the chest is slightly off center, I checked with the other figures I have and they seem off center too so this put my mind at rest.

I thought I would post a pic here for clarification from any Vintage Space Lego experts on here and for my peace of mind (bloody repro paranoia :evil: ).



Please excuse the pubey looking hair in the photo, that macro mode exposes everything :lol:

He looks right enough to me? If that helps

So with the Doctor celebrating 50 years I thought I would have a pop at a few Lego incarnations of the Doctor and his companions since the 2005 re-launch. It must also be said that is has in part been fuelled by the fact that until about 6 weeks ago I had never seen an episode of Dr Who and decided to dive right in when the BluRay Set was released in an attempt to watch the entire run so as to be able to watch the 50th anniversary episode last weekend (for those counting that was 112 episodes in around 4 weeks – and yes I managed it, square eyes now)

Anyway it was so good that I just had to have a pop at Lego versions. Since I am late the game here there have been a few of these done already and plenty of images on the internet, some characters are obvious with Lego only making a few parts that can do the job but for others I think I have made a good job. The only rule I set myself was using official printed parts only for arms, heads, hair, body and legs with cloth skirts and coats being the only custom made parts allowed.

So from left to right in the group shot we have:

The 9th Doctor (or should that be the 10th now…)
Nothing exciting here, I used the Rebel trooper body from the last advent calendar and switched in some black arms and the CMF Mechanics legs, slick back hair and stern face. You could use the Mutt Williams leather jacket but for me that looked worse

Rose Tyler
This is one of my favourite and certainly the more original versions I have seen. We have Sugi's body with yellow hands switched in, Jeans, bumblebee girls face and trend setters hair

Micky Smith
Nothing too special hear, grey hoodie top, jeans and a beany with Rodies face

The 10th doctor
A great figure but nothing really new here. The blue suit is more season 3 than 2 but works well with the coat and switched out brown arms

Captain Jack
A well-made figure and really about the only parts you can use, Cavalry soldiers top, grey arms and legs with a custom coat

Martha Jones
This is a tough figure as the parts are limited. Sadly for Martha she must make do with Mace Windu's face but with the hair and Catwomans body it does soften and work OK

Donna
Quite a hard figure to get even close to right as Lego just don't make parts to match her standard costume. You could just do a 'Bride' Version but that seemed a bit of a cheat, so a grey suited top, dark red legs and Ginni Weasly hair look ok

The Master
Very simple, angry face on CMF Saxophone player suit with Tony Stark hair

K9
A small brick built dog.

Red Dalek
A Small custom build Dalek, plenty of SNOT techniques used here, there are a lot of examples of this scale Dalek out there and all are on a theme I think

River Song
A simple enough figure, again avoiding the obvious 'Space Suite' version going with a white top and gun lingers legs

Amy Pond
This was a real tough figure to get right and even now the colours aren't spot on. I have used Frankenstein's Monsters Jacket on a custom Black skirt, the effect is good but I may change to a blue skirt at some point

Rory Williams
Quite a simple figure, checked shirt from one of the mine figures, you have to ignor the printed tools. Jeans and a nice face and blond hair
The 11th Doctor
This one is so done that there is nothing original here, but he does look the part

Clara
Like Amy this was a tough figure to try. After many top changes I have opted for the Imperial Guard torso with yellow arms swapped in on a custom red top. This looks more like the first version of Clara but is nice enough

The War Doctor
This one was a bit of a rush but with limited parts is as good as any for now. You have Cad Banes torso on Jedi Knights legs with a grey hair and stubbled face, and for good measure you have the box and its big red button

The Tardis
This was a lot harder than I thought for a simple blue box. First of the stickers are a mixture of homemade (the blue panels) and 'borrowed' from another brands version of the Tardis. The key for me was to be able to open the box up and allow some level of playability. That meant no central consol but a side based on (complete with leaves, screens, a phone and of course a big red button) leaving enough space for one figure to stand in front of it. The roof detail was a small nod to the round things that no one knows are for.
