The updated fotos clearly show the brilliance of this MOC! Very well done [size=2](now that even[i] I[/i] realized what 'modular' is about)[/size].

As much as I really like your MOC and the modular display cases of the single species, I don't think it fits within the modular houses concept. A zoo on 2 or 3 floors? Without any outside space? For me it's simply not working, sorry. A 'real' zoo needs much more space and cannot be squeezed in an area of 32x32 studs. But within that limited space, your idea is brilliant again.

Great video, Hinckley. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats everybody for this stunning display and of course the prize you - well deserved - won! Ha - I instantly knew which snail was made by Hinckley and Copmike! [size=3]Sidenote: Will I ever make it to Brickworld any time? [/size]

Hello everybody! After having visited Billund a couple of times, Copmike and I had the idea to build one of the most iconic buildings in LEGO history, the Løvehuset (Lionhouse). [img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7301/27615994601_c453fd9227_o.jpg[/img] If you have no clue what I'm talking about, let me explain what the Lionhouse is about. This is the place where everything LEGO-related began. It's the Kristiansen's family house and Ole Kirk Kristiansen started producing wooden toys here in 1932. Later he switched to the famous plastic bricks we all now. The house is still placed in the middle of Billund and is now called LEGO Idea house and is housing the Lego museum. There you can find a lot of exhibits from the wooden era upto the latest sets. Sadly it cannot be visited publicly, but if you want to visit it (and you should do that at least once in your life), look out for the next Eurobricks event in Billund 2018. This builiding is of course part of the movie worth seeing, [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdDU_BBJW9Y"]The LEGO Story[/url], and a previous exclusive minifigure-size set is in there, too. [img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7305/27589936252_0b299c1a18.jpg[/img] [img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7350/27616001391_21dc2744bd.jpg[/img] So the house has been an official set before. The bad thing about this set is, it was only given away as part of the [url="http://brickset.com/sets/LIT2009-1/Ole-Kirk-s-House"]LEGO inside tour 2009[/url]. Three years later it was [url="http://brickset.com/sets/4000007-1/Ole-Kirk-s-House"]produced for LEGO employees[/url] again. It was never sold on a regular basis. So it is really hard to get hold of it. But we didn't want to just copy an existing set, so we chose another scale and some nice new features. The scale is somehow in between microscale, architecture and minifigure size. It fits nicely on a 16x16 plate, the roof can be lifted just as with the modular buildings and inside you can find some nice details we included: A printed tile with the patent certificate, a panel printed "DET BEDSTE ER IKKE FOR GODT", Kirk's slogan "only the best is good enough" and a red 2x4 brick. All these details can be found in the real museum, too. We also decided to give the building a more accurate color scheme, replacing the red bricks in the exclusive model with brown ones for the walls and dark orange for the roof.

[img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7291/27412674520_8e50a80ae2.jpg[/img] Now comes the best part of it: [size=5][b]This set is now on LEGO ideas![/b][/size] [size=5][b]If we reach 10000 votes [color=#FF0000]you [/color]can also have a piece of LEGO history![/b][/size] So if you like our model, please move over to [url="https://ideas.lego.com/projects/140597"]our ideas-site[/url], support us and share the news! We really would appreciate if you tell other LUGs about our project, 10000 votes is a number, but with your help we believe we can do it.

Category A: #2 #7 ... and for the retired Disneyland! Category B: #4

Thanks for another awesome review, Whitefang! I would like to see comparisons of the old and the new alien from Toy Story as well as both Buzz'es like you did with the genie. For the series itself I'm going to skip more than half of it, on the one hand I don't know some characters on the other hand I simply dislike them. But it's good to see the numbers of the included minifigs don't vary any more: All figures are included at least 3 times with 6 spares.

[quote name='Pandora' timestamp='1461659435' post='2542618'] We are! Our group of four has three sets, one of which is missing that tile. So we're also missing another set. And we also didn't get the 1x8 Event bricks, somehow. [/quote] You've got a PM!

[quote name='Calanon' timestamp='1461609052' post='2541951'] Nice pictures! Although didn't Captain Green Hair ask us not to post pictures of his new ship yet? [/quote] Stupid me! I wasn't aware of that request. Photos are deleted also on my flickr site. I'll reupload them when CGH published his ship officially.

I found a spare 1x8 tile with the Eurobricks logo. Who is missing it? [img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1533/26593861306_94020054f8_z.jpg[/img] The end of all things: Serious de-boxing!

I believe the clock itself is a new print on a 6x6 or 8x8 radar dish. Besides that nothing to write home about: parts list, photos of the real BigBen. But we were only able to see two sides of the box and not the front nor the back.

[quote name='L@go' timestamp='1461545085' post='2541179'] Holodoc, can you remember how many bricks there were in that big plastic bottle? I'm curious :) [/quote] [img]https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1656/26619807215_9c0de4891e_c.jpg[/img] Yup: The total was [b]1107[/b], Dfenz guessed 1110 and Dana 1111. The guesses varied from [b]247[/b] (Mechamike) to [b]2050 [/b](Ace)

Soon. I'm currently uploading the photos on flickr. If you browse my account you can see some of them. But the photos from the avatar contest need some digital post-processing... I will deeplink the best-of here when I'm finished, maybe someone else can take over with the stories in the meantime.
