Re: CCC X Master Builder

Congrats to Mark. You deserve it, but it wasn't any kind of surprize. With one win and ten honorable mentions, it couldn't have been anyone else.

Re: LCC - Garheim - LC3 - Kidnapped!

NPU on that tree. I hadn't thought that color would be good for wood, but it is. I might have to try it someday.

Re: Kingdoms Chess!!!

I agree. This set is not just thrown together at the last minute to get rid of overruns of minifigs. That base as ugly as it is had to be prepared beforehand. This is a planned release and an amazingly well kept secret as well. I wouldn't be surprised with little Kingdoms releases from time to time...

Re: Question about a recent eBay LEGO purchase

Those of you who have found yourselves as a purchaser in these kind of scams should be careful. If the person or persons running the scams were ever caught, and still have some of your information, the remote possibility exists that you could be charged with receiving stolen property. If they used y...

Re: News: LEGO Cuusoo Zelda Reaches 10,000

I remember playing the original Zelda and Link on the NES V1. Link himself seems to weathered the years better than even Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't think this will make it, though. Nintendo has been liscening with K'nex (which is an American company), but even if Nintendo is willing to liscence, I ...

Re: Kingdoms Chess!!!

I'd rather have seen a Dragon queen or witch than a rehash of that tired torso. Not sure why the Lions are using jesters as knights! :lol: Just swap the Jester into the Bishop slot. No big deal. Like some others, I think this is just an over-run set, getting rid of already produced figures. Had to ...

Re: LotR sets revealed!

Odd, when attempting to pre-order Gandalf Arrives from Target, I got a 'Cannot ship to this address ... possibly due to restrictions for the state. I might as well wait a week and catch the bus to my local Target.

Re: LotR sets revealed!

The prices are not much more than the Pirates of the Caribbean of similar size. Perhaps the liscencing agreement requires a slightly higher cost.

Re: The better parts of KK2

I actually like some of the things from this line. But to get better effect with the minifigs you needed to swap out parts and colors for a few of them. Parting out seems to be the reason most AFOLs would buy these sets. That's why I buy most of my Legos. The best way to get army builders for the ge...

Re: Cool cloak idea

Sweet idea. I might get the piece then Make it into a patern with only a small slit instead of the big slit and cutout.

BTW, what is that brown hair from?

Re: Building Bricklink Orders

Add all the parts you need to a wanted list, then search for the most specialized part on your list. When you're at a store, hit there should be a button near the top left that will show all of the parts on your wanted list that that store has. Agreed, but you might want to disable the e-mail notif...

Re: 2012 NY Toy Fair images and musings

What surprised me was the new color for the small leaf piece in the werewolf set. They even give prices, parts count and release projections. Can't wait.

Re: Monthly Challenge #12: Year of the Dragon

Has anyone pointed out to you that Chinese New Year is January 23rd? Until then it is still the year of the Rabbit.
