    [MOC] Expanding the MMV

    Good additions. Perhaps the light bley arch on the magic shop could be replaced a reddish brown alternative? That may make it a bit more consistent.

    Lego LOTR MOCs

    Check out Brickstruct.com. You can buy instructions for a Helm's Deep MOC and Golden Hall of Meduseld. However, they're both huge so might not be for everyone.
  3. I'm building this myself and it's cool to see it with minifigs. I know there are no more instructions for the next sections (deeping wall, inner keep etc) yet. Do you plan on waiting for the next instructions from Brickstruct or will you do the rest yourself?

    Nexo Knights 2016

    My biggest concern is not the potential mix of "classic" castle and sci-fi, because that can result in some cool parts, colors and designs. But it might seem that it's only vehicles and figure packs. Something which i personally have zero interest in as I already have too many Uruk-hai ballistas

    What's your latest acquisition?

    3x Uruk Hai Army. Love to find those small shops that have some random sets stacked away.

    What's your latest acquisition?

    Mines of Moria at 40% off retail price. An online toy store was probably clearing out old sets before the holidays.
  7. Like some others I don't really try to have a backlog. But I do have two sets at the moment and for some reason it is very nice to know they're at my disposal at any time.

    There are great MOCs, there are fantastic MOCs, and there is this. Simply a whole new level of awesome.

    What's your latest acquisition?

    The MMV is waiting for me at the post office. In a sealed box.

    Which Themes Deserve a Reboot?

    Forestmen. I loved them when I was a kid and with the new techniques and overall better design of sets of today I think it could be......awesome.

    Help with optimizing city layout?

    My very personal opinion is that the tower does not fit in with your city. To me it just looks awkward due to it's size compared to the rest of your buildings. But I do understand that you want it there since it's a great (and currently highly valued) building. Have you tried a set-up without it?

    Lucky LEGO finds

    Found the 6754 Family Home at 20% off retail price at a local toy shop. MISB Now, do I build it or sell it....

    The Lunacy of Lego Investors

    Interesting discussion, but this basically sums up my own view of it. Sure, there will probably always be those who try to artificially increase prizes and fraudulent resellers. But that's the prize you pay for the opportunity of getting retired sets. This is not different from any other hobby that includes buying collectibles (I think, I don't collect anything else really).

    How do you Manage Your LEGO Addiction?

    Here's a great tip to how you stop yourself from over spending money: Keep track of much you've spent. That way your guilty conscience will tell you when it's too much. At least it works for me.

    Favorite childhood theme?

    For building my own creations: Space (80's era). I built and rebuilt so many vulgar spaceships. It was all about size, maximum amount of trans-bricks and antennas/discs everywhere. For playing: Castle. And especially the forestmen faction. I only had one set of forestmen (6054 - Forestmen Hideout) but it was awesome. Honorable mention: Pirates. I went into my dark ages in the early 90s so I only saw a few sets of pirates. But I'm pretty sure Pirates would have become my favorite theme if I hadn't entered the dark ages.
