My fellow admin Hinckley was interviewed by The Brothers Brick and the subject of the interview was (surprise) Eurobricks!

Wow, that came as a total surprise, and it's very well done!
I'd also give it 5 strawberries, if I understood why exactly strawberries are the fruit of choice here. -------------------- Shadows is currently appearing as Sheldon "Slash" Wills in the mysterious Red Moon! and as the ![]() Sheldon Wills ~ Michel Shadón The Reviewer's Academy / EB News Presents / ![]() Visit my Comprehensive Visual Index of Custom and Classic Decals in the Minifig Customization Workshop Get rid of your odd or unusual parts, spare minifigs and general LEGO memorabilia by visiting the Museum of the Absurd! |

Nice interview, very informative about our site policies and about the site itself. Love this classic Hinckley line, too:

Oh, so this forum has a dark history and a bad reputation I didn't know about... Eurobricks is 'The Wild One' and Hinckley is Marlon Brando I understand and respect the rules about leaked images and its great that EB is cultivating a healthy relationship with TLG, but I don't understand why The Brothers Brick mentions EB's history in this context. They themselves posted the leaked Power Miners shots as recently as last September after they were taken down from here as I recall (and a quick search of their blog proves me right) so am I missing something???

Nice interview.
Personally, one of the reasons I originally registered here (aside from the friendly community and the wide variety of themes covered) was in fact the "leaker reputation." Despite any changes that have taken place, EB still seems to be one of the more unbiased/non-fanboy sites when it comes to that issue.

I joined EB due to the leak stuff, but it was indirectly unlike maybe some other people.

You can guess what I'll give this. That's right, upping Copmike's 5 out of 5, I'm giving this the Golden Strawberry Teacher Award!
Great interview, I enjoyed reading it and finding out some new things. -------------------- |

Interesting interview, especially with being a relative newcomer to the site. I didn't realise that EB had a "leaker" reputation!
I enjoy the discussion here most of all - I spend a lot more time reading than commenting! |

Strange that the article about Eurobricks on TBB talks about the new policy against leaks when there's a (potential) leak right there on the main page.

Strange that the article about Eurobricks on TBB talks about the new policy against leaks when there's a (potential) leak right there on the main page. Hmm... --Tony I can see how you would think that. Here we have a picture posted by a member from another source. There's no "confidential" stamp on it and it doesn't appear to be photographed from an illegal source. If TLG contacted us and asked us to take it down, it would be removed immediately & unfortunately, some time ago, that wasn't always the case. Perhaps this should be run by Steve Witt... Nice to see you BTW. It's not often we see you stop by and I love your trains. EDIT: Aha. Thanks for the tip, Tony. They did indeed request it be take down, which it has been. -------------------- My Website: BrickZone.net The Many Adventures of the Whacker and the Walrus issue #8!
