Very cool! What material do you use for the greenery on these trees? Is that cotton balls, pillow stuffing, or some other light and fluffy synthetic?

Hahahaha, yep. I look at the PIV, and I think, "Huh, WWII... German... good enough for my purposes!"

You really like the Cobi better? I think the KAZI one looks awesome, so much detail, and the grey color looks so "WWII" to me. I'm tempted to get one, and I don't even collect WWII stuff. But it is YUGE... but I think it fits. Can't help it if Mega's Sherman is too small! FYI, KAZI makes a...

Would this suffice? 1200pcs for $35 isn't bad. Aliexpress - KAZI Panzer IV

Yeah, KT is right. Aliexpress is the way to go. I've ordered from several different sellers (all tolerably good), but this one is my current favorite. lepinbrick Store - Small Orders Online Store, Hot Selling and more on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group I ordered some stuff last thursday, and...

I know not of this "Jang". But google showed me some pictures. It's quite impressive! --- and there's no doubt he's using Lepin. You'd have to be a sultan to afford that many retail legos! I'm not going that far down the rabbit hole. I just want a couple of main-street blocks worth of...

I love your setup. I'm not sure if I 'm more jealous of your sets or the fact that you have the time and space in which to actually work on such things. Maybe when the kids grow up and move away...

I'm just loving lepin, as it's making my dream of a "real" town in which to stage battles a reality. Those Streetview buildings are so nice, and they're just as intricate on the back and inside as they are the front. No pretend facades. I might take forever to do it, but it will happen...

Good lord, the Lepin train is steamrolling my house. They have improved such that the newer sets do the numbered bags like lego, which eliminates a lot of initial sorting. My daughter just turned nine, and she got the carousel and ferris wheel from lepin, each over 2k pcs. They're massive...

I finally found the checkpoint and the new troop packs. Had to hit several WM's to find one that had bothered to restock. I'm more stoked for the toyfair mega display than any other line. Other than a new wave or two of ML, I don't expect much this year. Everything that hasn't been shelved...

Agreed. Having all the parts contained within the figures compromises pretty much all other modes for the sake of something that really isn't important to most fans. The all-in-one crowd is annoyingly vocal (because combiner parts appearing from nowhere is the biggest gripe you have? really?)...

Not that I do spiffy dio pics like Digler here (lack of time, not lack of interest), but I am a camera buff with a lot of experience. I've had really good luck shooting with my Sony RX-10. It takes better shots than my older DSLR, and while the lens isn't interchangeable, it's extremely...

Zuperion is supposed to be the same size as constructor, whom I measured at 22", just a head shorter than Generations Metroplex. TW/Zeta bots are basically seeker-sized as well. I think the difference is largely due to TW/Zeta using more partsforming. Constructor had lots of extra external...

JinBao's warbo and upcoming GB are knock-ups that are supposed to be the same size as one another, but they're substantially shorter than Constructor, Zeta Superion, and the upcoming XTB Menasor, which in my head have collectively set the bar for MP-scale combiners. Having Bruticus be 4" (about...

The Gravity builder KO is a bit small for MPs, but he should be about the same size as the KO Bruticus. As much as you love that set, seems like a no-brainer.

I understand from a jet-fan perspective not liking the boxy body underneath the jet... but it's consistent with the G1 toy and toon, so I'm not fussed by it in the least. Eh.

TW's typical aesthetic was not very G1. they had their own scale and style. Constructor only achieved wild popularity after they made G1-esque replacement parts and the subsequent G1 box-set. I suspect that the combaticons were already well under way and too far along to scrap. The...

In hand they don't feel any more like tfc than constructor's bots did. They feel like every other TW figure I've owned, except they're more refined than TW's early output. For $60, it was worth trying one, and I'm glad I did. I want to like their Bruticus, but the bots just aren't G1 enough...

Man, my WM's have nothing. Zip. Nada. I'm not saying they don't have anything new... they really don't have any stuff at all. They look like they're still doing post-christmas inventory, as probably 75% of the shelf space is completely empty. Maybe in a few weeks...

Oh, if you had to choose, Phoenix was an obvious choice, both from a price and "importance" standpoint, IMO. But since I had previously stated that I would probably skip the Zeta jets, I just wanted to report that they're really nice for the price. Yeah, I might get a KO Streaker and put my...
