  1. The last Transformers game I had fun with was Devastation. It's way overdue for another good TF game. Unfortunately, this one does not appear to be one:
  2. Incidentally, I just built this rendition of KITT courtesy of Jerry Builds Bricks. The KITT model that was included with Lego's Michael Knight minifigure was cute, but it needed a better ride: The design's solid, and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a KITT to go with Michael.
  3. I bought one here. I ordered from them before, and they're reliable. However, they will ship your kits without the original boxes. Instead, they will be packed in padded pouches. I jumped the gun on this; the shipping cost is huge compared to my previous orders.
  4. The kits are not exclusive, they can be found on other sites like AliExpress.
  5. It's been a long time comin' but HLJ sent me a payment received notice for the Tri-Charger - finally!
  6. My copy just arrived tonight, and it even came with a bonus sketch: I'll give it a quick look through in a bit.
  7. Just came upon this one today: Quite a nice build, though I can't place what figure that is.
  8. That Alteisen looks like a keeper for me, I just hopes it gets a nice, bright red scheme.
  9. I know Megatron had a darker colored helmet in the Marvel comics, but aside from that, D-16's head shape also reminded me of what Megs looked like in an old commercial:
  10. Thanks, I actually might buy it this time.
  11. I took my boys out for this one, and they had a blast. I liked Pax's "hero shot" that called back to the '86 movie as Prime leaps in the air while using his blaster, and of course Elta's jab saying that Pax neither has "the touch or the power"
  12. Is this a reissue?
  13. I finally found the new Speed Champions F40 at the local Walmart, and wow, what a difference 5 years make when you compare it to the older F40 from the same line: I'm convinced Lego got inspiration from various MOCs to produce their latest iteration of the F40, especially this one: Regardless, I had fun buiding this new kit, and for a kit this size, Lego nailed the silhoutte: I found the use of spoons for mirrors ingenious, but I didn't like the empty space where the main headlights are. I reckon I could use clear parts to fill the void, but that would mean changing the shape of the front side, which I don't want to do. What I felt needed changing though was the size of the windows, which looked quite small right out of the box. To fix this, I removed the paint at the bottom of the windscreen piece with some rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs, then applied carefully measured adhesive vinyl strips and shapes to make the windows appear larger: I've seen a few cool mods that give this kit opening doors and an opening rear hatch, but I don't think I'm going that far. With my larger windows, I'm gonna call it a day. I fear this kit is a gateway for me to discover similarly sized MOCs of other fine autos.
  14. This upcoming game reminds me of Ex Ranza/Ranger X from the Mega Drive days: It looks quite flashy, and I'm digging the Itano Circus action.
  15. The changes are minor, but yeah, why mess with perfection?
  16. I was worried about this one for a while, and I'm glad it's happening after all. It looks quite good - crossing my fingers for a green one!
  17. Brick Veteran has a sweet looking MiG-29 coming up. This first one of theirs is limited to 100 kits.
  18. Yuzo Koshiro is the game designer AND composer for this one, so expect the music to be good.
  19. Yep, it was known as "The Red". As for Hicks, I don't what's scarier: a xenomorph or a psychotic zombie kangaroo.
