Maybe the board is glued together and considered a single piece. I don't see the edges of a large baseplate or anything underneath the black and white squares in any of the pics. A solid board would kinda' make sense, too, I think. I truly wish that was the case, but look closely at the upscaled im...

Won't ship til July 1st. That's why they aren't on the LEGO website. Good to know an estimated date they'll be out though. The four I posted ARE available for purchase and will ship now if ordered. The fifth one, which says, "This item will be released on July 1, 2005. You may order it now and...

I'm guessing that Johnny's is in the middle of some kind of adventure, running around and firing off a few rounds from his revolver (at something in the distance, beyond the edge of the vignette). Joe, who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, spots his missing pet frog on the ground, ...

Just wanted to let y'all know that the Lego Easter basket is on sale this week for $12.74. Probably still too much for most, but better than 20 bucks. Ken Yup, I just picked myself up another one today at this sale price. Got me a score of three now! :D (And, since the first two were given to me as...

The set itself isn't worth $20. Heck, all the items combined probably aren't worth near to $20. But, these holiday gift baskets are always overpriced. The idea is so that last minute shoppers can run to the store and pick up a pre wrapped collection of small toys and candy for a child and save thems...

I'm pretty certain that real reason the studs were made hollow was to make them easier to remove from other parts, particularly the minifig neck. When a round 1x1 (head or regular brick) is on a neck and has a solid stud, it is harder to remove because of the vacuum that is created inside. Making th...

They're only available otherwise in black or orange, used as pucks from a couple of the hockey sets. They’re this part here.

Re: Late Night Chatter Vignettes!

Umm, why do you have large sums of cash and dead bodies stashed under your bed? Or is it best not to ask some things? :lol: Well, you can ask, but if I tell you, I might have to...well, you know.
