Re: 2014 Classic-Castle Brickcon Meetup

Due to lack of interested, there will not be a formal CC dinner this year at BrickCon.

2014 Classic-Castle Brickcon Meetup

Hi there, everyone! Now that Registration is open for Brickcon, I want to pose a question: last year, at lunch, we had reservations for near 20, and had just 6-8 people show. Now I suspect one of those factors is that I changed it from dinner Friday night to lunch on Saturday, but that's still an aw...

MegaCon 2014

Hi there! For those in and around Orlando, MegaCon starts today. Both GFLug and OLug are displaying; there's a decent train set up, moon-base, and of course castle. Use castle-builders are definitely in the minority so it's a bit smaller. I have no idea what the policies are for getting tickets and ...

Re: Patience, Contest Results, and You

With all of this said: Feedback is entirely welcome. Like any business or organization, there are absolutely places to improve processes and streamline efforts. I agree there are opportunities. Changes are made through respectful discourse, and through solicited feedback. Feedback offered interspers...

Re: Patience, Contest Results, and You

Hi there! Friendly neighborhood mod here, and I'm going to address some things in this here thread. Then I am shutting it down. Because at the end of the day, what once was a friendly request now apparently needs to be something more. As has been recently pointed out, this contest has been going on ...

Re: Pick-a-Brick

You know...There was a time I'd spend hours packing my PaB cups. I'd stand behind the counter-thing, chat with the staff (made some good friends that way, actually) and was mistaken for an employee myself. I've just gotten to the point now where I just don't care all that much. I still take care to ...

Re: Simpsons theme in 2014

I'm going to go on a limb and say the author of that Yahoo! article is a fan, given the monorail plea.

Re: Patience, Contest Results, and You

Listen to your peers. ;)

Takkata brings up an excellent point: This marks the 11th year, and each year people get antsy and ask. You can imagine 11 years of "when will the results be posted?!" gets awfully old.

Patience, Contest Results, and You

Happy New Year, CC! I hope you all got some sleep after cramming in some last-minute entries into the CCC. Thanks for all of your hard work. From here on out, however, your challenge is going to be patience . We've now entered the traditional waiting game for results. I post it every year, so here's...

Re: grounded?

I should share that the staff of this site have a perverse sense of humor. Complaining about one title can earn you another that you may enjoy even less. Suggesting titles doesn't work.

Re: OUTLAWS LCC 12 QUEENS PRISONERS

Hi there!

Like the others have mentioned, the forums speak BBCode, not html. If you ever need a friendly hint, there's a link under the smiles when you create a new post or thread.

I fixed your coding for you.

Re: Brickworld Chicago 2014 Coordination Thread

Yes, I do see that, and that thread is getting traffic due to interest. Brickworld will get interest in it's own time. Don't compare this to the others.

Channel your excitement into building! Focus on that first. Displays will come in time.

Re: Brickworld Chicago 2014 Coordination Thread

Might wanna slow down just a tad. You've posted a planning thread just shy of a year in advance. Registration won't be open for a few more months yet. The US convention season is just barely winding down. I foresee interest sparking again after the new year, closer to March, when registration opens ...

Re: LEGO CUUSOO and old themes

CUUSOO is, in fact, a separate company which may have something to do with it. But also consider the intent of it, which is to allow fans a chance to see their creation as a set. While the sets that have come from it (#003, #004) are certainly license-based, the previous two were science-based as is...
