  1. I am glad for the Ant Men. I'm not such a fan of Ant Man as a character, but since the only real helmeted Pym I have is the super old school Avengers Box, I am enthused to no end for these two. The main reason? For real? I love helmets. They are my favorite piece of anything ever. Every so often I find the minimates with helmets and have a Cool Helmet Parade, you know, because I'm an adult and can do whatever the heck I want. And the avengers movie wave might not be all that NEW new, but Black Widow and Hawkeye in the same pack? That's awesome for me. Now yeah, I don't need more Thors and Iron Men and Spideys and Caps, but hey, some people might. And as long as minimates keep existing and make enough money to keep going with main streamers for those of us "serious collectors" to get at least a few really awesome new mates a year is fine by me. I have spent an insane amount of money on minimates (or so I've been told) and having a few waves where I only have to grab a couple packs instead of entire sets several times a year, well that's alright by me.

    That being said, if someone over there doesn't get it together that Songbird should be officially released soon so I can have my Thunderbolts done, well I may just smash my face into a wall.

    Which is no big threat, since I do that pretty much any time something stupid happens to me.

    So thanks to everyone responsible for keeping minimates going (us here, especially) and here's to another ridiculous decade of some of the coolest little figures on the planet.

  2. The large Batmobile is 14 studs wide by 34 studs long and 10 Lego bricks high (all of these come from the widest parts of the car)

    My guess would be if using these specs, you'll probably want to add a bit on every side, because if not, the Batmobile would be incredibly snug in there, so better to have some space for maneuvering and all.

    Hope that helps.

  3. I assume you're talking about having the bigger Minimate Batmobile in there, and not the mini one. And as such I imagine it might be a bit wider than that lower area. I don't have a Batcave myself, but I'm looking at my Batmobile now and comparing them based on peg width of the driveway thing versus the actual Batmobile, it doesn't look like it will fit. I am just eyeballing it from pictures, so I might very well be wrong, but I think it'd would be easy enough to just make a wider lane if needed.

    Anyways this is really awesome. I've been out of Legos for a long time, but I still respect them and the unbelievable amount of cool stuff that can be done with them.

    And now that I have a nephew, I'm going to have to get more soon because I think every kid should have Legos to mess around with.

    I used to have a half dozen five gallon buckets full (probably more) but when my mom sold her house they were all in the basement and were either left behind or thrown out, and that still upsets me to this day.

    But thank goodness for the C3 Minimate sets. They have very quickly pulled my Lego interests back up and now I'm am buy some sets here and there and just dumping pieces into a bucket.

    Well, I build the thing first, say "That's neat" and then demolish it and dump it for silliness at a later date, because I have absolutely no place to display Lego things in my little apartment.

    I do have a small box of Legos left that I found in my basement a while back, and I have a couple of those mountain top pieces you're talking about. They are really neat for stuff and a great idea for a Batcave. I got them from a pirate island Set a long time ago.

    But that's my two cents. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread because I think some awesome ideas are going to come out of this.

  4. Whew! More challenges done. Finally over halfway finished.

    Crap. I'm only halfway finished. Better get on that.

    Side note. After Jeopardy finished, this place is dead. I wonder if this emptiness is how Alex Trebek feels every day when the lights go down.

  5. That whole thing I was hearing read out in my head with the guy who does Thor's voice on the Superhero Squad show and I have to say, totally awesome.

    If DST won't put them out surely Santa and his merry band of elven day laborers would hear the pleas of all.

    Great comic. This should be some fun Christmas stuff.

  6. After Effects is kind of a bitch to get the hang of straight away. I spent four years working the sucker in college and sometimes I still don't think I have a clue what I'm doing.

    But some cool stuff here. I really like the second one, especially the backdrop with the hole in the wall. For whatever reason I find that to be a great touch to it.

    Just keep plugging away at it. You'll get where you want to be, eventually.

    I don't necessarily believe that, I just had a professor who said it all the damn time.
