Whenever someone tells me, “you have way too much time on your hands,” I just tell them, “no, I’m just more organized and efficient than you are. I’ve got a job, I go out with friends and family, do all kinds of other things AND have time for a hobby, too. What’s your excuse?” ;) I don’t feel guilty...

Well, three of them at least for now...

Lego Stories and Action Vikings: Viking Fortress Against the Fafnir Dragon (7019)

LEGO Stories and Action Vikings: Viking Catapult vs. the Nidhogg Dragon (7017)

LEGO Stories and Action Vikings: Viking Boat Against the Wyvern Dragon ( 7016)

Hmm, perhaps it's not just a vig of a random attack from a ninja in the arctic. Instead, maybe it's a very clever, symbolic vig depicting a rather frustrating modern day dilemma. Perhaps Joe was working on a Linux system (hence, the penguin), and it froze up (the snow). But, unaware to Joe, this is...

Thanks for your comments, everyone. As far as I remember, this was my first attempt at landscaping. It's a funny vignette, but not Joe Vig. He's not being oblivious in this one, he's just being attacked. I've just had a full night's sleep, and now that I've seen my vig with fresh eyes, I must say y...

Hey all, I just noticed on 1000Steine that the new HP sets are up on Amazon.de , the German branch of Amazon. Bruce Hi, Bruce! They've been listed on the German Amazon site since the beginning of June (I started a post with links to pages and pics back on Jun 2nd at FBTBforums). But, they're still ...

Still not sure about Amazon.com, but Amazon.co.uk is getting the Viking sets August 10. Up for pre-order now.

7015: Viking Warrior vs. Fenrir Wolf
7016: Viking Boat vs. Wyvern Dragon
7017: Viking Catapault vs. Nidhogg Dragon
7018: Giant Viking Ship vs. Midgard Serpent

I picked up the catapult set at my Wal*Mart a couple of days ago. I was going to post pics, but I've been really busy since then. The set itself isn't that great: the only reason I got it was for the wheels and horse cover. But it's really great to see Lego sets for under $1 again. I *LOVE* that, n...

The Vikings link has been taken off of the Stories and Themes page on Shop @ Home USA. (Here's a screencap in case they update the page between now until whenever people read this post.)

Yes! That's gotta' be it. Thank you so much!

My Fellow Americans...;) The Chess Set is now available for pre-order, at $50. It will ship by June 30. So, for those who are too lazy to go back and find the link, here it is. :D Yay! Thanks, lady! (Especially for that link -- you know how lazy I am!) *uses his stick with the piece of gum on the e...

Whoa! I was just about to start a new thread for a question I have about this set...when I noticed there was one already here -- what a co-inky-dink! :D Anyhow, I just ordered some LEGO off of ebay and I've been looking through the pieces to see which sets some of the things might be from. I found t...

According to Jan Beyer, the "German Jake McKee" (i.e. a LEGO employee with similiar function in community bounding) the figs and accessories are not glued . The board, however, is. haha how awsome is jojo? hahahah Thanks, Jojo. You beat me to it! :) And yes, this set will be available (no...

Wow... an off handed comment in an IM message about the possibility that maybe I recalled a discussion that these might be glued... and three pages of comments later... Heehee. You mean you don't expect that from us by now? :) We do tend to be a rabid bunch. BTW, the whole glue speculation has spre...

Wow... an off handed comment in an IM message about the possibility that maybe I recalled a discussion that these might be glued... and three pages of comments later... :shock: Heh... I'm looking into this now, and as soon as I have an actual answer, I'll be sure to share it. Jake Community Liason ...
