Lego Space Classic Part 2!

Originally seen here - http://kingstoys.blogspot.com/2007/10/lego-space-classic-sets.html I've added on to the collection, These following sets how ever did not include instructions, Instead I downloaded them from the web and built them with parts gathered from http://www.bricklink.com/ the E-bay of lego'. As I am putting them Up i thought I would display a few shots for all interested. That is the great thing about the Internet, Now you can complete hard to find sets for next to nothing. With in the next few days i plan on focusing a few segments directly on the Lego Space collections. Enjoy!!
First Set 885 - the Space Scouter. Simple yet fun for kids!
Set 6807 was a heck of allot like an ejection Seat!!
Set 6802 - Rocket Shooter. Came complete with a robot!
Set 6849 - Satellite Patroler was a later set still using the original space guys with minor changes to their helmets.
And then Futron. Set 1974 Star Quest came with a multi pack of Legos. one Castle and another a town set. This introduced the New futron. below him are three different types of the uniform, I also believe there was a red and yellow suite. The wings folded on this vehicle to also make it a semi tank of sorts.

Ultimate Soldier. German 1:6th Troops.

One thing I loved about the Ultimate soldier line was how cheap and how awesome their sets were. I put together these two Germans from having left over figures, and buying two uniform sets. One German Machine gunner the other a grenadier. They are two of the three German troops I have from the WWII era. Once ultimate soldier stopped making figures, I stopped collecting 12" troopers save for the ignite Roman series which I will cover another time. So below are two of my German soldiers. front and back so you can see their gear. These guys are pretty cool and for next to nothing are good to have. Why am I covering them now? Well, I just got done beating Call of Duty world at war for a second time on my 360 (GOD DAMN YOU LOST SAVED GAME) and one of my favorite things is shooting the crap out of these Nazi Bastards!! : ) Enjoy!!!

The Collectible room.

My Collectible room/Vault.

Yeah it is locked down like fort Knox; My Collectible room finally got completed last year in January of 07. I took a ton of pictures and added em to my site’s I frequent, well, not happy with the shelving I am switching over to a lockable Glass style case system, and will be starting with the Lego collection. So before tearing everything down and packing a lot up I bring to you the pictures of the collection. Before it all is re arraigned and changed over to the new shelves which should take a year or more to do. A lot here has been sold and or reviewed. But as I also pack a lot up to get ready for the change over, I will review a few cool items, So with out further adue, My Collectible room as it was two years ago.

Enjoy.

We'll start with the Vintage Star Wars Corner...



The the Joes.



The Window area.

The Ceiling Battle.

The USS Flagg.

And the Lego Misc Halo area.

McFarlane HALO Send aways.

So far there are only three in this set. Two happen to be from this years comic con. the third is a pre order from the website www.spawn.com


Note the card differences. The first shown is the Series 3 Master Chief, he features a orange colored border. Followed by the multi player series which features a blue border, and then the Comic con and send away exclusives that feature smaller blister cards.


The first I will review is the comic con CQB Active camo Spartan. The figure is awesome all though I think they used a poor plastic because he seams to be more yellowed than the other active camo Spartan let alone his gun.


Note the Comic Con Exclusive side sticker.


Another cool thing about these three send aways is the small Bio's not done on any of the other card backs.


Then there is the Spawn colored Hell Spartan. One of my favorites. I had the guy who sold me this ask if I would open it when I said yes, he called it sacrilegious, so just for him, below is a picture of it carded. Followed by the Spartans Bio.


And last but not least....

The pre order send away EVA Active camo Spartan. This figure is as cool as his counterparts.

Notice the Spartans Bio and McFarlane exclusive card sticker.


The next send aways due to come out are the HALO Rewards points exclusives. I will need about 800 points to get what I want out of those send aways and currently I am at...... 480. But with more Spartan's coming out, I should have all the points I need for a few extra items to review!!! Next, HALO Series 3!!!

Mcfarlane HALO Series 2.

Addiction. The Webster definition of addiction is compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance. I guess that could describe my habit of HALO 3 McFarlane figures. I only collect the good guys, because they are enough to line my shelves in my collectible room. Some say McFarlane has gone 'Lucas Hasbro Clone colors' on us. But, I still enjoy them and the wide variety of different color units. Although I have no idea where the Pink armor would fit in combat. That being said, I will begin with series two. My only beef with McFarlane HALO figures in general is the issue with them only selling certain figures in certain countries. Like the Orange Hybusa armor from series 3 which I will review soon. Yes I have the orange one, (Thanks Unix Ninja from Australia) But it does suck that in order to 'Complete' a collection, you have to either one, sell your soul on E-bay to acquire them or two, know some one in said country's that these items are available in. But other than that issue, I Love the line, and will be sold on them until McFarlane stops making them. I was a fan with Mcfarlane toys ever sense my first Spawn figure back in the day, the spaghetti faced Spawn as he was known. But back a few years ago more like almost ten, I had to sell the Spawn collection off to fix a car. Having the HALO figures and being addicted to HALO the game kind of gets me back in with the Spawn/McFarlane pieces of art, and yes I was ecstatic with the EVA Spawn figure they came out with at the con last year (I will be reviewing the On Line limited HALO figures next which he is included in.)

Well enough of my babbling, On to some HALO Spartan figures of awesomeness. (Shout out to my ninja Boba Cox, if it wasn't for his diligent hunting I would never have all of these!)


First and for most Master chief. Spartan 117. Equipped with the laser cannon, this weapon is sick, and as any one knows who plays HALO it is devastating if it hits it's target.


Ahhhhh A pink Spartan. This was sold only in Canada (go figure) and I guess may have been a shout out to the female players of HALO. Yeah that's it..... and why do I own it.... I am a completest dang it!!!!


The 'Gold' Spartan was released only through FYE stores.


The Red CQB the only CQB Spartan this series was available where ever Halo figures were sold.


The same with the SPARTAN Scout. Tan version!


The ODST Marine was one on my list because he is one of the only Black suited troopers in the mix. I can not wait until this game comes out where you can play as one of these bad ass'


Following him, are the SPARTAN ODST Troopers. They are bigger in size and have more armor. The first the STEEL version was a Game Stop Exclusive.



And then we have one of two Walmart Specials. One being the ODST Turquoise trooper.



The Second Wal-mart special edition is the EOD Trooper. I played as this armor set for the longest time before earning the Hybusa armor on line.


Next, The available every where Lime Green EOD Trooper.


And last but not least the Toys R Us EVA trooper.

And a white one available at Comic shops. This is added to my White Squad of warriors. With this I will review for your viewing pleasure the three exclusives and then on to series 3!!!

Enjoy.
