Ha, I didn't know we had trekkies in our midst!
Set phasers to "boredom". And there's a reason no man has gone there before... because he heard on good authority that it was f#$%ing lame.
Brick figures.... please say you aren't counting Kreo-Trek as your benchmark, or those weird minimates. Say what you will, there are few things on the planet more awesome than lego R2D2, or the lego death star, or the lego ewok village.
Trekkies, trekkies... spill the beans, how many more of you are there around here? Do we have an infestation?!

Lego R2 and the last system AT-AT were the 2 kits that made me drop everything else and dive into bricks for the past 2yrs. I was a Lego snob until I built the Mega Bloks Blackhawk. Now I can count $1000 of them on display at any one time and that's with the Hellicarrier hidden under the bed. 
Interesting. That one wasn't mentioned at Toyfair. I thought they were giving up on the WWII sets.
This actually looks pretty slick.
It is a ToysRUs exclusive - found at Canada TRU already
I don't recall any version of Robin that wore shorts w/ red pixie boots. Is that from a video game or Earth-27?
Nice... I still have so many CoD sets left to build. I love them, but the birds take up so much room. Still haven't built the blackhawk or little bird. Maybe I'm just lazy.
I just keep buying MB sets on clearance like a fool, but I've only built about half of them.
Every saturday, my 9-year-old son just wanders into my toy closet, pulls out a new set, and builds something. He doesn't really care about military stuff, but he has the most awesomely random CoD, Halo, Halo-cop, astronaut battles.
Found some halo sets on clearance over the weekend, so hopefully they can integrate into the CoD stuff. I don't give two shakes about Halo or their figures, but the Firebase and the UNSC Countdown look like great HQ set pieces. Can't wait for the Pelican Air Base to get cheap too.

That's funny. I've been re-enacting Battle of Los Angeles with COD and Halo Covenant with my sets since they won't sell me and Russian or Chinese gear. I buy very little USNC Halo kits, just mechs and Marine figures really. I'd buy that Pelican if it wasn't in the police deco.
I'm only interested in the base. I couldn't care less about the actual Pelican vehicle. To me, halo vehicles are only good for parts fodder. I never build them, just pitch the pieces into sorted bins. Occasionally my son will build one, but again, he's pretty ambivalent about where the set comes from and likely couldn't tell you the difference between halo and CoD since he's never played either game.
Think it's based on the Dark Knight Returns Carrie Kelley Robin, but the boots are the wrong color.
There is no way I can look at that figure and get Carrie Kelley out of it. The hair's wrong, the goggles are wrong, and the red boots are wrong. If that's supposed to be her, they've taken a lot of liberties... ugh.
For anyone who has a UCS Slave I at home or has seen it at a Lego Store. It's much bigger than I had imagined. Spotcat big. The disc is the diameter of a large deep dish pizza.
I'm having 90's Marvel flashbacks! Make it stop! Sonofabitch couldn't anchor his own book, but he was an unwelcome invader in every Marvel title.... except maybe Power Pack.
Uuuuuugggghhhh (a la Sideshow Bob)

My Lego Helicarrier was $100 more, 100 parts less and you have to buy the lights separately if you want them. This is why I've completely switched to Mega Bloks.
Edit: And the Helicarrier was a 9/1 sticker to print ratio. The Enterprise has about 50 printed parts and 0 stickers.
Seems like they've exhausted WWII and are making some Nam era sets, so I could totally see that happening in the next year or two. They've done a chopper every year so far...
China Beach dio?

So far they have been sticking with stuff that was in COD games. I remember playing a Nam level in Black Ops (?) and I remember the boat, but was there a Huey level?
Ah, I'm at a disadvantage, as I've never played the games. Hopefully we do get more Nam stuff. Maybe Megabloks can license Platoon or Full Metal Jacket
I bought a few CoD titles during a Steam sale, but I haven't played them. Are they good for single player? I detest online play with snarky 12-yr-olds.
