    And see, if you'd actually gone to Brickworld, you could have seen this in person!


    Actually, it was pretty cool, but I'm not sure it would have ranked in my top 5. The Indiana Jones mega-diorama and BrickChick's coral reef were definitely the top two, plus PepaQuin had his Futurama Planet Express display and slightly-larger-than-the-10179 UCS Millennium Falcon (with detailed interior) there. Oh, and one of the founders built a large-scale MOC of FLW's Falling Water, though the surrounding landscape was all still just hollow framework.

    I'm glad Revenge of the Fallen exists, because it makes this movie look like an Oscar nominee.

    @endless:
    Your name isn't, by any chance, Bob Parker, is it? Because not too long ago he was whinging on LUGNET about this exact sort of thing, with how it's "not LEGO if you don't leave studs showing" or some crap. That's the sort of stuff that comes in official sets, not the stuff that has Kjeld Kirk and all the official model designers staring in amazement and saying that they didn't think such things were possible with a simple little plastic toy.


    @Hello Mister Walrus:
    There are several levels of "LEGO purist". This is probably what we'd call the "has to look like a child built it" type, where special elements are off limits, and anything that's not a basic 2x4 brick is probably considered a special element (I actually once saw someone make that very claim).

    It's too bad that the defense system of Zion had the shittiest strategy for the APU corp.. Run the ammo out to the APU's on wheelbarrows with a handful of guys with blasters? I guess it was the only way to have Kid take control of Mifune's APU and open the gates for the Hammer, but still.

    @Kaiser-Machead:
    My question was always how they managed to go so long between reloads, considering how tiny those ammo boxes were compared to the size of the rounds, and how fast those twin guns blazed through them. Seems like it'd take no more than a handful of seconds to run dry after every reload, not unlike you would with an M-16 if you just hold the trigger down.

    @deanbmmv:
    Nope, and even if it was it'd be pretty expensive for a set that size. I'd estimate the mecha alone as being somewhere in the range of 400 parts, which would run no less than $40 MSRP (I'd actually guess closer to $50, with the full scene running at least $500...if it was an official set). An official LEGO version would be a lot clunkier, but they'd probably drop the price down to $15-20 as a result.

    Mechas don't require other mechas to have meaning and purpose. All it needs is a crowd of frail humans to trample and possibly some trucks full of junk food to rip open.

    I have improved it for examination at your leisure. Let's just say, it didn't have enough craps.
