I would have paid that actually...now I've got a bunch of scrap to deal
with. Ah well...such is the minifigaholics burden.

Yup...he's pretty much Serpentor already. Yo Joe!

Nope...you're correct. I mis-oranged. (Is that really such a surprise in
this day and age of multiLEGOorangedom?)

Um...posing?
Personally, I've been wooshing the Goblin around the house with it, with
LEGO Spidey dangling underneath the flying platform on his web. WHOOSH!
I like how they are including the stick/vest in the new Extreme Island sets
to move the skateboarders around and such...good simple playability.

I was actually hoping for more jack o'lantern heads for the Goblin's
throwing bombs, but I guess that's another change in the movie. Sigh.
