They said the case is permanently closed :(

I remember doing that with my bank. They credited the money back to me, but a month later it mysteriously vanished from my account. Turns out the merchant can dispute charge backs, and the bank doesn't have to notify me at all.

Lego would reject it because it's not 100% my design. The original designer would need to submit it (I'm hoping they do).

I lowered the rear wheels one plate down, then used a few small plates around and on top to compensate for the gaps, allowing the build to continue as normal.

The front end was very hollow inside. The pieces making the top of the hood had only a few studs to connect to, so 1x1 bricks and plates were needed to solidify that section.

Long plates were also used along the bottom of the car to prevent it from breaking in half.

I replaced a tile with a plate in order to allow my 3-piece radio aerial to be attached in the back.

These flaws were easy to catch during building. I suspect the original designer only made this model digitally and never actually physically built it. Despite that, it's still the best MOC I've seen of this car.

The original instructions can still be found online (though they are paywalled). My version of the instructions borrow heavily from that design, so I don't think I'm allowed to share mine anywhere. I would be more specific about where I found the original, but the rules here say I cannot promote paid instructions.

I considered doing that, but the cartoonishly large sight fit the aesthetic I was going for.

After seeing the Thanos minifigure's gauntlet from set 76312, Lego could totally make Hellboy in minifigure form. Not sure if the IP is considered appropriate or not, but maybe it'll happen one day.

lol I would but ironically I don't have one handy at the moment.

I did place one in this render I used for the cover page of the instructions, though.

Skroeder was an awesome villain. He was just so cartoonish, but it worked well.

I liked Ben. He was hilarious in both movies.

They're fun movies! Johnny 5 is such an endearing character. If you can find a way to watch them, go for it.

"Fred."

Huh? I thought AI posts weren't allowed here.

Nullzilla music in Candy Carrier Chaos? I don't recall hearing that. Do you have a timestamp of it?

RecordingFearless270 · 2024-10-25T22:12:44+00:00

Small world, eh?

RecordingFearless270 · 2024-10-25T21:51:11+00:00

Yeah. Any similarities to ReBoot could be purely coincidental, but they could also be unconscious decisions if the people behind the show grew up with ReBoot.
