jaisonline Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 i wonder if the toysrus ad had an error in the build. it looks like there's 1 extra 1x1 black plate that isn't needed (chin strap). remove that and move 1 red and 1 tan 1x1 plate over, it looks better. my mod = original pic = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mod is what I was thinking about upon first seeing this as everything else is symmetrical except for the chin area which struck me as odd. I guess now though he appears to have more of a goatee. Ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ufema Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 In case you missed the "Make and Take" event at Toys R Us this past Saturday from 12 to 2, here's a video I quickly threw together. I'm very please with this free build. I was thinking it was going to make made of lego plates. The whole thing, minus the base plate, was made of standard bricks and the white plate, I believe, is a hard to find plate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, I must be the only blogger (if I even qualify as one) to write an article about this TRU event, take my kids to it and discover at home I missed 3 sets of bricks for each kid. Only had enough light tan bricks in the spare bin to complete 1. D'oh. There wasn't enough room at my local TRU for the kids to build there.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoWalker4 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks to everyone for sharing this event! My kids and I were at this TRU event yesterday and I decided to have them build their sets right there at the store. So glad I did this because my son missed four 1 x 2 red bricks and I avoided so much anguish. Dad of the year material? No! I have learned the hard way about missing pieces. They picked their own bricks out (I so could have been President Business!) and I give TRU credit for having things so orderly with each box labeled with the number of pieces to take.

Pseudoty Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 @ufema love the ending of that vid. I thought the white 8x8 plate was rare too but looks like it goes for $1.50 New here in the USA on BL. I substituted the 1x4 tan with 1x3 tan and a 1x1 red, didn't like the big ear look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
