LEGO Bioshock Big Daddy & Little Sister

 by Imagine_
Contest WinnerFeatured
When I brought my LEGO build of Bioshock's Rapture to Brickworld 2011 in Chicago, fans of Bioshock wanted to play with the Big Daddy & Little Sister figures I had placed all around Rapture. Now you can build and play with your own. You will need a variety of LEGO specialty parts, so if you don't have some of these, you can find them on BrickLink.

To quote Andrew Ryan, "What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks 'Where is my share?' " So to you all you parasites out there - Enjoy!

Dude, totally awesome! I'm trying to collect all the pieces I need to build the big daddy and i found all of them except for the copper and black mechanical arms for exo-force, bionicle. I looked for them on brinklink.com and they don't seem to have them. Any advice on how I might aquire these last three pieces I need to finish the build? If you have any extra's I'd be willing to buy them from you if you wanted to sell them. I really want to finish this thing!!!

Here's a couple of the copper arms on BrickLink:http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=mcovert007&itemID=36961534
Or if you want to choose the buyer yourself, scroll through the list of available sellers:
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=59178&colorID=84

Black mechanical arms - same thing - here's a list of available ones through a few sellers, just pick and order. There might be a seller who has both the copper and black if you want to save on shipping, you'd have to click around and see who has what. Here's the list for the black ones:
http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=59178&colorID=11

Just for future reference, the part list I have with links for each part, pulls up the catalog entry for each part. When you open that page, then the first list on the left where it says "Lots for Sale" is where you click on the color you need for that part. That will pull up all the ones available for sale. BrickLink is the best place to find parts, especially older parts like these.

Let me know if you have any more questions. Have fun putting it together!
