For those of you who managed to find a bunch of these and would like to part with one, I'm interested in trading/buying for just one 30216 "Lake-Town Guard". Wasn't able to make it out to TRU until today to look around, and if they ever had any, they are long gone. Someone around here is l...

I agree that some battle-packs would be pretty cool, and there are some people who would buy them. The previous non-licensed battle-packs used to go for around $15 USD a few years back for 5 figures, so I understand your rationale for 4 figs for $12. However, pretty much all of the major licensed th...

I would have listed all of the same sets. My absolute favorite is still the MMV, but I also enjoyed the Kingdom's Joust set, Helm's Deep, and Bag End. Although the older sets aren't as technically challenging as far as technique goes, I do find some of them more challenging because the older instruc...

Thanks for all the comments, I added a set of non-contest photos that have higher resolution and show more of the interior details.

I would love to see some close ups of the interior. The castle is very nice, and that little fountain inside looks sweet! Thanks! I do have more pictures to upload, but still need to finish editing them. The most difficult part of the build was actually trying to narrow the photos down to three pic...

Took me the better part of the last month and a half to wrap it up, but I finally finished my entry for the castle category. This is my 6th CCC and the first time I've ever built anything for the "Castle" category. I guess I finally reached critical mass on having enough gray bricks to pul...

Nice work Mark! I like the mix of the old and new grays on the wall and the darker grays on the rock-work. Lots of great angles to keep it interesting and I agree that you've packed a lot of great details into what seems like a relatively small footprint. Good luck in the contest!

Nice build, I enjoy the peacefulness of the scene. I like the little farmhouse, the 1x1 rounds in the wall break it up nicely and are a neat technique. The overall placement of the foliage and rocks feels pretty natural and came out really nice. Good luck in the contest!

Ted Thug's latest idea is to build a Trojan Horse so he can spy on his enemies.   "They will think it is a work of art and bring it into the city for all to admire!" Ted exclaimed. "This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard of." Anne replied.  "This thing is hideous and it ...

Greetings fellow Outlaws! I apologize for my lack of participation lately, I assure that Ted Thug has not abandoned his fellow brigands. Things have just been busy lately and I spend less and less time in front of a computer these days (and less time building it seems). Ted has a few more brilliant ...

I don't pay a ton of attention to CUUSOO but I voted for it. That's a really cool ship and very well done. The overall shape is great and I love the dark tan highlights. Like it's right out of the book.

Were there any other tiles or round plates? I'm trying to get some 1x1 round plates. When I was there it seemed like most of the inventory was bricks. They had some 2x2 yellow tiles and 1x4 reddish brown tiles, but I didn't notice anything else. I don't recall seeing any 1x1 round plates, although ...

FYI - I was at the LEGO store in Cinci about a week ago and the most notable thing they had were 1x2 tiles in purple. Don't really have a use for them yet, but any time they have tiles, especially in a rare color like purple, it's worth picking them up. Also, the BTTF set is supposed to go on sale T...

So, there's been a lot of controversy over the rare LEGO exclusives that were released at SDCC a few weeks ago. I personally did not go to the convention, but it got me thinking, what would I do if I won one of the super-rare figures they handed out (or a Mr. Gold for that matter)? I would like to a...

...and hope it goes on sale, which may be a silly hope. I'm waiting for the double points deal that usually happens in October. Last year I had a 10% coupon on the back of the catalog that was mailed to my house. I think they overlapped, although I'm not 100% on that. Not really a sale, but if you ...
