Pleased to meet you all. :-) In fact, I've been visiting the site and this forum for quite a long period, but only now I have finally decided to register here.... ) I can say that unlike my alter ego, I'm very lawful and will never break the rules of that forum. ) *sweet* Again, pleased to meet you all!

Holodoc Posted January 11, 2008 Welcome The Penguin to Eurobricks! We are all curious people - would you mind to tell us a bit more about you? Where are you from (by posting 'good afternoon' I would expect you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted January 11, 2008 We meet again Penguin! I hear the jail cell's are quite warm this time of year! :-P X-D Welcome to the board, and have a great time! What themes are you interested in? Anyway, you seem like a great guy and I can't wait to get to know you, have a great time here! :-) Batbrick is Back! >:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Penguin Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Thank you, gentlemen, for such a heartly welcome! ) What can I say about myself? Now I study in Russia, so that's why I wrote "Good afternoon". ) But basically I tend to say "Good day" in every situation.... :-) My favourite themes are: Batman, CITY (Because it can be easilly combined with Batman :-D ), Star Wars, Castle. ) Quite a standart list, isn't it? :-) After the so-called Dark Ages (2000-2003) I returned to Lego and was pleased to see that many themes improved greatly and I fell in love again! *wub* (My first love story with Lego was in 1989-2000) I'm not a great MOC creater as some of you, gentlemen, but I usually upload my works on Brickshelf under the name ThePenguin. :-$ Again, I must say that I'm mostly grateful to you all for such interest to my humble personality. ) Yours, faithfully, 2 Batbrick :-D They may be warm there in Gotham, but since I'm in Russia and it's winter now.... ) Edited January 11, 2008 by The Penguin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zz-80 Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Hi Penguin! Welcome aboard! Now I study in Russia Does the "now" mean that you are not from Russia? How is the availability of Legos in Russia? A few months ago an EB member from Russia complained a bit about it... Edited January 11, 2008 by zz-80 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Penguin Posted January 11, 2008 Yes, I know him. (Not personally, though.) He's quite an active Lego-fan and de-facto is a leader of the russian fan-community. I'm not giving any links to avoid advertisement, but I can assure you that he is really a nice person. Speaking of availability of Legos in Russia, I can say, that, indeed, the variety of sets in Russia is small and it seems that is deminishing.... :-( As a person who can see the situation "from inside" I can say that is quite strange, judging by the fact that more and more Russians are willing to buy Lego.... But anyway it's for TLC to decide.... ) Well, as fo me.... My mother is fron GB, while my father is from Russia. ) I've lived in GB for quite a long time, but then came to Russia to study here.... :-) Yours faithfully, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batbrick Posted January 12, 2008 2 Batbrick :-D They may be warm there in Gotham, but since I'm in Russia and it's winter now.... ) Oh, thats no good then is it? :-D How many Batman sets do you own? I also collect City to be intergrated into Batman, great minds think alike eh? Anyway, see ya round! Batbrick is Back! >:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Penguin Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) How many Batman sets do you own? I also collect City to be intergrated into Batman, great minds think alike eh? Anyway, see ya round! Batbrick is Back! >:-) Sure they do! ;-) ) I have ALL batman sets, that've been released, though in Russia Arkham and Batcave are not available.... |-/ Again I was saved by Bricklink.com! :-D And thanks to TLC, nowadays CITY-sets require just minor alterations to look just-for-Batman-and-Gotham-made. ) Edited January 12, 2008 by The Penguin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I myself have only Arkham Asylum to go, which wasn't available here, neither was the Batcave (I feel your pain!), I guess its time I made a visit to bricklink. I look forward to seeing some creations and chats from you. By the way, what quote is your sig based on? Batbrick is Back! >:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Penguin Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) I look forward to seeing some creations and chats from you.By the way, what quote is your sig based on? Batbrick is Back! >:-) You can see some of my custom-made minifigs here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=290639 :-$ My signature is based on two quite different Penguin quotes: From Batman Returns and The Batman :-X In BR he said: "A peguin is a bird that cannot fly! I'm a man! I have a name...." While in The Batman he said: "A penguin is flightless bird, but sure with style...." So I changed the two quotations a bit and that's how i got my usual signature! *sweet* ) P.S. I must apologize for not sighning the photos in my gallery, but I'm sure most characters identity is quite obvious.... ) (A man with beard is Maxie Zeus.
