You ever feel like the odds are stacked against you? You know, like when you’re late for a meeting and every light is red? Or when you’re going to pick up a rotisserie chicken at 6PM? Or you buy a MegaMillions ticket when it passes $1 BILLION? Or when you’re a metallically enhanced superhuman with regenerative properties facing down three giant robots bent on your destruction, like the one here depicted by I Scream Clone? Yeah, like that.
Henry Pinto has completed the daunting task of building this massive LEGO Sentinel, complete with a working light center. I've always loved the menacing, monolithic forms of these villains, contrasted with their bright pink heads and highlights, and this one looks like it could easily stomp on all of those tiny X-minifigures.

Dear Spencer,
I am writing to follow up on our conversation yesterday about my insurance claim for the property at 349 Broadway. City services has finally succeeded in shutting off all services and cleanup is continuing. Everyone is accounted for and I'm happy to let you know Mrs Thumperpants' cat Piranha has been found safe and sound.
I am however very concerned by your apparent disbelief in my descriptions of the events of the 27th of March. I can assure you everything that was described occurred exactly as it happened. I have enclosed a photo if you are still feeling skeptical.
Sincerely,
Thomas Schlepmot
Superintendant
