I love them

Is singing worth it if you don't have the greatest voice in the world? Is birdwatching worth it if you don't know the names of all the species? Is falling in love worth it if you feel like a bit of a mess inside?

LEGO Architecture 2015 News & Discussion
caperberry replied to tafkatb's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I'm disappointed with Architecture this year too. Underwhelmed by the two we've seen so far and no disrespect to the USA but I wish TLG would be more evenhanded with their location selections. I hope this is just a glitch year, would be terribly sad not to get another large one. -
Old Argos Catalogues - See what Lego sets they used to sell!
caperberry replied to Nacho's topic in General LEGO Discussion
928 for £14.29? I'll take ten, thanks. -

Let's you and I make an illegal connection.

Has there ever been a list of bricks released by year?
caperberry replied to Lind Whisperer's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Not sure what you mean by "by hand", but in case you're not aware, BL's Catalog Search page includes a Year field. So you can narrow down to parts released in a certain year. Relies on the accuracy of BL of course. -
Yes he's horrid. But thankfully after my dark age began. I distinctly recall scribbling violently over the faces of the two girls in a meadow giggling over their Scala jewellery. I hated them every moment more and more. My favourite gag ever from SilentMode was when he named her "Gewinneth"

Ooh no. Love Bananaman but Roger Ramjet is a bitterly satirical work of genius. Jim Thurman is my all-American hero.

I hope The Goodies get to do the voices again! Or at least some cameos

Awww, happy memories. Captured so well. The bows for Snoopy's ears are so perfect.

Review Review: 70816 Benny's Spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!
caperberry replied to Rufus's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Fantastic review Rufus! Interesting to see where we agreed and differed...for example I totally missed the fact that interesting greebly cavity houses Astro Kitty! I think the choice of 2X4 rather than 2X3 slopes more likely relates to the desired design than the aftermarket.- 228 replies

I noticed this on Benny's Spaceship too. Orange jacketed fig with a red cup - perhaps the same one Tragic Banjo mentions. I agree it's a great move. Even as a kid I hated seeing other kids in Lego catalogues, they always look so self-satisfied.

Brickset's data comes from TLG's database, which doesn't cover Every Part Since the Dawn of Time like BrickLink's does. BrickLink will tell you what sets it came in. In this instance - http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=6541&colorID=6&in=A Re dark Green confusion, Brickset uses TLG's colour naming system. BrickLink uses one that was partially invented by FOLs. There are many confusing differences - arguably the most confusing is that what BrickLink calls Green, TLG call Dark Green. What BrickLink calls Dark Green, TLG call Earth Green.

LEGO shouldn't make new parts for a year?
caperberry replied to legolijntje's topic in General LEGO Discussion
No. Aside from anything else, I'd have less to write about on my blog ;) TLG don't take the creation of a new mould lightly, there need to be sound reasons why an allocation is granted. And I don't understand what a year's abstinence would achieve? These kinds of threads are always interesting but I find the poll unnecessary.
