A stud shooter for the Ghasts mouth?

Makes it worse that it's those bad stud shooters.

What I always loved about this set was its "Don't dig straight up" feature. Anyone whose played Minecraft enough will know that doing that is a bad idea, especially in the Nether.

I quite enjoy the old stud shooters better than the new ones - far less chunky and conspicuous...

But they are easier to load and can fit any form of studs.

But the best shooter piece is easily the flick fire missles

In my opinion, the best shooter is the spring loaded one with the long transparent rods.

My Minecraft phase was years ago when I lived with two student friends and it was neat downtime we all enjoyed. This set doesn’t quite capture the epic feel we got when the three of us stormed a Nether Fortress but I’ll admit it’s a start

They can't fire *any* form of stud. They won't fire anything with a hollow or recessed stud. The new ones also can't have their ammo knocked off of them.

The first Nether fortress that was minifig scale. It was pretty cool for what it was. Quite big and empty, just like the real things!

Anyone here hate both? So nice that Lego stopped using them in SW battle packs.

I need too sooooo badly 1x12 dark brown plates to replace the ones I have in my Imperial Flagship, Medieval Market Villlage and Haunted House!!!!

You know, I've just kinda realised that, aside from the figures and the doorway to the void(?), this looks like a pretty fair representation of Bionicle's Ta-Koro. As a fortress city built on a lake of lava, it fits the description... the colours are right for it, even the architectural style here feels pretty close to the outer walls where the guards patrol in MNOG2. Build a few of these into a complete fortress, and I think it'd be a pretty fair representation ^^

Just a shame there's no minifigure-scale representations of Matoran to populate it with...!
