Re: LEGO Friends line

Speaking of Friends, if anyone wants to buy the sets ('cause they're aeswionme), but doesn't like the figures, I'll trade you with minifigs for them. I totally get that, Aliencat. Are the figures compatible with Fabuland? Nothing about any controversy. All I have to say is the Food! The Food! Both ...

Re: It had to be done.

:lol: Oh my gosh I absolutely love this! I have to have them! Why? I don't know.

Just when you think you've seen everything in Lego. The minifigs finally have a voice.

Re: custom emoticons

I REALLY love the X-Ray one. :lol: But do you have anything for "delicious"?" I'm kinda big on minifig food... the more the better. Those poor minifigs have been starving for great food for a very long time. Seems like all they have are apples, cherries, bananas, carrots, cake, bread,...

Re: Collectable Series 5 - review - now in stores (UK,US,oth

I hit upon these at my local Wal Mart and snagged a clown/circus guy, Egyptian, Detective (Sherlock), and Lizard man. However, I'd like to know if anyone has a decoder for batch 122B1 ? From what I understand, the dot code changes from batch to batch. I'm in Chicagoland so I do have many places to b...

Re: Super-tiles

That is pretty exciting. I have a bunch of those soccer bases which I thought must have some other use. Voila! I'd love to see how you're planning on landscaping these. I try and use as many damaged (nicked, heat damaged) or discolored pieces as possible for the unseen support structures, but I'm no...

Re: PoTC castle builders dream?

I just went to the Lego store today to get some series 4 and ended up impulse-buying 4191. Wow did I make a mistake- I should have purchased 10 of these sets. Please forgive the pictures as my lighting was yellow. The bottles , the globe , the telescopes ! And of course, every girl should have her o...

Re: History's greatest toys / Time article about LEGO toys

Thank you, Bruce, for merging the threads and I apologize for the repeat.

I really liked the 1967 article. I was one when it was written.

Time article about Lego toys

Alas, the comments are closed as this is over a month old. Allie Townsend wrote the following for Time: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2049243_2048651_2049040,00.html The interesting part is if you follow the link to the 1967 article, the only place in that entire article...

Re: Collectible Minifig Series 4

WhiteFang at Eurobricks has posted a ginormous review of series 4 . That was a wonderful review. It was just as entertaining as it was informative. I really liked how WhiteFang tied this series together with previous ones: making a band, a notorious group of monsters, Japanese cultural icons, a day...

Re: Obama's LEGO lesson

That was a nice article and I like to give credit where credit is due (Obama needs more Lego!), I didn't agree with this statement from the author: While Republicans have criticized the administration for spending too much time focused on investing in the future, and not enough time on reigning in t...
