Re: March of Despair

Hey,

I know this is old, but I just saw it and wanted to say this is outstanding. The posing, the point of view, and the photo-editing to add the snow and the backdrop make this a really dramatic scene. I can imagine there is a whole story around what is happening here.

Re: RIP Fraslund

Hey, I just saw that on Brothers-Brick as well. I didn't recall the real-life name, but clicking through to his [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/fraslund/]Flickr stream[/url] I remembered the MOCs, and that led to the handle Fraslund he used here, which I certainly did remember. He was an active m...

Re: 3in1 creator castle lego

Hey all, Once pictures show up on a store website or sets appear in stores it is no longer a "leak", so we can post photos here. So here you go. Also, I see the release date listed as June 1 in a couple of locations online, so we'll be able to get it in our hands fairly soon. First person ...

Re: Disturbing news about the future of castle

Hey, Just thinking about the previous Lord of the Rings and Hobbits sets. These were not based on the books, but instead were based on the movies. So I assume (though I have not looked into this at all) that the licensing deals were negotiated with New Line Cinema (maybe also with WingNut Films and ...

Re: Lego Material Handler Excavator

This is really cool. I love all of the functionality, like that extendable cab. I was going to say it looks a little too smooth and not "gritty" enough, but doing a google image search on the real thing they actually are pretty smooth. I see a variety of models of the real one. On some the...

Re: Building musings

Hey all, I'm kind of the opposite. When I build (which isn't as often as I'd like by any means), I am building completely for the camera. So if it's an exterior scene I don't care if there is any interior whatsoever. On the flip side my interior scenes are built like a TV studio - three walls and of...

Re: Are Legos More for Adults Now?

Hey

Is that set there for any reason other than an AFOL to give his AFOL partner on Valentines Day, Mothers Day, or her birthday?

Re: Knights of the Black Falcons

Hey,
