Re: Does LEGO Know of All the Possible Part Connections??

I heard there are some non-traditional connections that AFOLs use, which are not allowed in official Lego designs. They official models cannot connect parts in ways that overly stress the parts. I'm not sure exactly what qualifies a connection as verboten, but I think I've heard some of the round t...

Re: CCC VII Team Challenge Signup list

Oh, what the heck, I'll play if it'll help. My wife says I'm way too busy right now to commit to building anything, but I'll show her. I've got over 3 weeks vacation banked. I just won't go to work in December if that's what I have to do. :P Although, I do have a large excavation starting the Monday...

Re: Real LEGO House

I would have thought they would have kept it together longer. At least the bricks are getting "recycled".

Update

He should've opened a bricklink store. :lol:

Real LEGO House

Top Gear’s Star James May Building a Real Lego House

I get that he's using multiple colors to help demonstrate that it's built from LEGO, but it looks like something a 3 year old would build. In fact, I can probably find the MOC he stole from on brickshelf. And, a LEGO toilet? Yuck.

It's like Christmas (and birthdays, etc.) all over again!

So, I finally got around to organizing my basement and I can see my LEGO table again. I can't wait to get building! I've built maybe a half dozen sets in the last couple of years and zero MOCs. Now to catch up on all the sets that have been piling up: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/psu-ericksen/M...

Re: Awesome Vintage Minifig Collection Volume 3

This is great...but why the $18 price tag? I doubt I'll buy any because of the price. I'm sure you could bricklink all these figs for half the price. I really doubt you could buy those 5 figs on BL for $9. The Black Falcon and Cavalry guy alone could easily rack up $9; even more if they were in new...

BEWARE the Meijer sale!

Rather than hijack a thread like I'd normally do, I'll quote from the TRU Buy1/Get1 Half Off on ALL LEGO SETS sale thread: :oops: For anybody living in the Midwest US that lives near a Meijer, they are running the same sale starting today as well. They usually don't have a great selection, but their...

Nice article about LEGO:

Glad to see LEGO is back in the black. Have we seen the 250,000 AFOL estimate before?

Re:

I don't know if TRU will hold the sale, but it usually occurs during the 3rd full week of March. Is it the 3rd full week of March yet? I've got my fingers crossed for this Sunday's flyer. I want to see what I can get on sale before I place a S@H order. But, I'm really wanting to place that order......

Re: How much light is too much light?

I would get heavy curtains or a shade of some sort. Years ago, I built a large castle and town when I was home from college on Christmas break. It sat on my bedroom floor in front of my window (also north-facing) for at least 2 years. I ruined a lot of old grey and white with that MOC (not to mentio...

Re: Where have all the baseplates gone?

Some even had little dots to help with the building placement. Hmmm. I think I'd rather have no baseplates than to go back to those dots. I used to collect raised baseplates when I was a kid and I still think that they have their place in certain MOCs. And whenever I get the pop-up survey on lego.c...
