Well, as usual, I'm almost late. It's not a strategy, I'm just a slow builder. Anyway, here is my entry: The Villain is a rich merchant, who cannot be bothered with the safety of the peasants as he rides down the street. He knocks over children, old men, and anyone who gets in his way. The unwitting...

Good luck to Jake in his new job. Let's not look at this as losing Jake, because it sounds like he may become an active AFOL now. :) Not being an employee of the company should allow him to participate in our community (let's hope he's a castle fan!) Admins - get him an account, a cool rank, and let...

Howdy Bruce! I have had some of the same wonderings (is that a word? :roll: ) also. My purchasing habits changed when I discovered Bricklink. I buy fairly often from Bricklink, and I have my own shop (only 21K parts). In general, I buy sets for one of two purposes: to build or to part out. Sometimes...

I really like this set. The special pieces and the variety of design elements are a pleasure to view. I like the fact that each of the towers is different (with the exception of the gatehouse towers). This set demonstrates several key castle building construction techniques, and would provide a grea...

I really like your warehouse Sir Lomero. :) You used Maersk Blue I assume? I like the tri-fold design, because you really need to look from both sides to understand what's happpening inside. Some folks don't like the use of grill bricks, but I think that it looks good. I like the tall, yet thin desi...

Welcome to Bricklink, I hope we see more MOCs and posts from you. :)

Tony - You mentioned the other day that some folks had said that "hacking" the light bricks was rather easy (replacing the LED, moding the switch, etc.) Can you give us a link to that discussion? Thanks Jim PS: I like the fireplace. I think that this will work great in the armory forge in ...

Those are quite nice Dunechaser. :)

I particularly like Quetzalcoatl (although I cannot image how that is pronounced.)

I like the brick built trees, and sand green is a nice change from the regular green, I could see these mixed in with sone other green brick built ones.

I find that they do not often fit in well with my landscaping, so I do not use them any more. They are big, and so they do save on bricks, so that is a plus. I find that I can build just as quickly without them, due to the extra time spent making them fit in. I have seen MOCs where it is obvious tha...
