Ok just checked MV and someone is/has making/made a big booboo.

On Peeron it says that the thin chin strap 193a came on nearly every set containing a blue helmet with the only set containing the thick chin strap 193b being the XT 5 and Droid.

I don't have the XT 5 but every blue spaceman I have has the 193b helmet and MUST have come in all those sets that say came with the 193a.

Unless I lost or had stolen every blue dude from my collection and somebody secretly replaced them with 193b helmeted men without my knowledge.
I'd inform Peeron and Bricklink if I wasn't so damned lazy.

I find Bricklink and Peeron sometimes have different parts listed for certain sets. For example, on Peeron some of the space sets have grille tiles with the groove listed for some sets while on Bricklink, they have the same set with grooveless grille tiles. Normally I wouldn't give 2 figs since they are essentially the same part but since technically my sets are not complete if they don't have the correct parts, I am giving 2 figs. Unfortunately I have no way to verify which site is correct so I just use my own judgement and I pray like buggery that I'm correct.

Yea, the three sets I have with blue men are:

6805
6808
6824

And I can see for sure that on 6808 the picture has the fig with the B helmet, and I am pretty sure the picture on 6805 looks like the A helmt.

I'm not too sure on the space dart though (6824), but it does look like an A helmet.

So is this also a screw up by lego themselves?

I noted one set had a several parts different.

but i didn't worry I was building it from scratch..

One of my friends just sent me this picture.

Do want!

These custom Dragonball Z Lego minifigs are ace.

oh man those dragon ball z figures are so cool.. mixing two of my favourite things together, lego and dragon ball z, how could you go wrong... they look so professional too, like if they were an official lego product that's what they would look like

We need a salivating smilie, we really do.

I love that even minor characters like Popo and Chiaotzu have been given the treatment.
(and for the record I would happily spend far too much $$$ on DBZ lego sets if they were ever released.)

On a different note, does anyone here know anything about the "Avatar" Lego sets at all?

Brickset only have two sets listed:

3828 Air Temple
and
3829 Fire Nation Ship

The ship looks alright but otherwise lacking detail for such modern sets. Although props to the ship not using a giant "ship mold".

Impressive custom minifigs up there.

Thanks for the links Stompy, so it is only those two sets, and from what it looks like they aren't in release anymore (not in legoshop). Quite expensive prices from online stores too, considering neither set looks all that big or detailed.

Air temple is tempting, especially for Momo and Sokka minifigs, if there was an Appa figure I'd be buying this quickfast!

Would have been cool if the line was continued, some of the 3rd season locales would have made very nice sets.

Those looking to get any Lego sets, particularly Mars Mission or Agents. Target is having 20% off Lego for a week between Sept. 11 - 17. Time for me to get the remaining sets I want.

I know Target has:
- Agents range Missions 1-7 (7 appears to be exclusive to them for now)
- Mars Mission - Hypersonic, Alien Ship, Crystal Reaper (Ultra Drill Walker appears to be exclusive ot Myer for now)
- New Technics bar the 4wd (Kmart has the 4wd at a much cheaper price even after 20% off)
- All new Bionicles (including the new vehicles)
- All Creator sets.

Personally gonna pick up Agents Mission 7, the Creator Transport Ferry and maybe that huge Bionicle (Red) Vehicle.
