Ah, now I understand. 

I've never met a Transformers fan that was a Wheelie fan. They all seemed to want to see him, um "offed".

Maybe that's why.

Nice review and hilarious pics mikeszekely! 

I remember seeing him years ago and thought it was absolutely absurd, but cool at the same time. 

if I'm not mistaken, I think Toy Wolf also did a transforming urinal to go with Dirty Man.

Edit: Found it!

I still have that set.😄

I hope to hell it's not in 3D. I don't think I can handle another wave of movies with 3D shoehorned in.

I'm MCU'd out.  I was done after the second snap.

All these years of watching the original trilogy countless times, I never noticed Luke's stylish boots.

Lovely job. Read your write-up. I was thinking the cockpit slope was achieved using the ratcheting plate hinges, but to know it's a Technic liftarm in there is interesting. Anyway, Daniel's original is a great looking model, and your mod to his design turned out beautiful. I'll echo Chronocidal's lament over the need for better cockpit pieces and more cones and complex curved slopes to better compliment shapes such as this. I still can't believe LEGO has never made a shorter complimentary analog to that canopy.  Seems a no-brainer piece for them to make, and yet it only exists in our dreams.

@Chronocidal Ambitious build with your STS stack. Great job, man.  Your tail solution looks nicer than the original. Hope you'll do the crawler, too- kinda completes the scene, ya know?  

So, for the Classic Space afficionados out there, Disney's Lightyear's director, Angus MacLane, who also happens to be a prominent AFOL, wanted a new windscreen in trans-yellow, so Buzz's ship in the movie has one. Of course, LEGO is no stranger to Disney, and as one would expect, here's the set:

XL-15 Spaceship 76832 | Disney™ | Buy online at the Official LEGO® Shop US

 

It's not CS, but it is a sci-fi ship that's not Star Wars, and at this point I'll take whatever LEGO gives me in that regard.  Kinda has a Colonial Viper vibe going on. Anyway, looking forward to picking this up in April.  Really looking forward to seeing the film, too. "To infinity...and beyond!"

I thought that's what it was before i read the description.

It looks great too. If Lego did a whole line in this vein, I'd be all over it.

Which Prime is that, Kuma? Looks amazing!

Thank you so much for your input, everyone. Its greatly appreciated!

Gonna see if I can find that Tamiya putty locally.

First off I should mention this project that I'm in the process of is not Mac related, but figured this is the best sub-forum to ask this question. 

My project involves an old style telephone handset and I'm going to have to fill in some very small gaps (like 2mm x 4mm) and I'm wondering what would be the best product for such an application. It would be a huge plus if it was really to use.

Thx in advance, and my apologies if this isn't the correct area for my query.

Yes.

 

I didn't notice it before, but her vehicle mode in that shot reminds a lot of this....

That was someone else. I'm not into supercars. They're useless unless all you want to do is attract attention.

Supercars? Bah! Too many wheels.

BBI, Elite Force, The Ultimate Soldier X-D, 20th Century Toys...  It went through several different names and brandings, but it was the finest military toyline of all time.

I fear we shall never see its like again.

I've always wanted a fully transformable VF-1 the size of that tomcat. That thing is beautiful.

Hikaru decided he had enough of VFs and took Thundercracker for a spin.

"Where the hell is the switch for Gerwalk?!"

Mixmaster's toe looks weird. Other than that, he looks great.

Great timing! Are you going to wait 'till Christmas to open it? 😄

I just tried watching the first episode Friday and couldn't even get half way through it. Not because I thought it was horrifically bad, but I had the impression the Netflix series was going to have original stories or at least a different take on the stories. I've already watched the original anime straight through at least 3 times - I don't need to watch it again as live action. From what little I saw some of the scenes were a straight translation to live action. I think they may have stuck too close to the source material IMO.

This arrived today while I wasn't home, and my boys got super excited thinking it was their xmas gift when they saw the Autobot sigil:

It's more like Daddy's gift to himself.  I was really hoping they wouldn't see it until I set it up, so I lied and it was just a box.

This thing can't be THAT limited if it's #21308.  Regardless, my inner child is squeeling with glee-I can't wait to get it rolling!

That totally reminded me of this meme.

The Ducati is 646pcs vs. BMW is 1920pcs - hence the price difference...

Whoa! I didn't notice the difference in piece count. Still too steep for my cheap blood.   

Another bike is coming out for us motorcycle lovers again:

BMW M 1000RR

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/bmw-m-1000-rr-42130

As much as I want this one, 3x the cost of the previous Ducati seems a little excessive.....

Even up close he looks great! And his hands look amazing - hopefully they're not too fragile.

Sorry Sqidd, I couldn't resist!

That's why I pay people to build/paint mine.

That's like buying a motorcycle and having someone else ride it 😜
