greenmtvince Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice job, Elroy. I always look forward to the releases, and it looks like you've got the magazine on a regular schedule now. Quote
roamingstop Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Nice job, Elroy. I always look forward to the releases, and it looks like you've got the magazine on a regular schedule now. Wow that one came out fast... Having had the magcloud print outs of series 1=6 I will definitely get these (7&8) soon. Thanks! Quote
Gareth Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Is there anyway to get RailBricks delivered to the U.K? I'd love to be able get get hold of one (just to save electricity powering the computer when looking at the flash versions). Quote
TaltosVT Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Is there anyway to get RailBricks delivered to the U.K? I'd love to be able get get hold of one (just to save electricity powering the computer when looking at the flash versions). MagCloud actually ships to the U.K. and other countries, according to their Shipping FAQ page: http://www.magcloud.com/help/shippingAndOrdering Being in the U.S., I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure what delivery times look like. If you do order one, I'd be interested to see if it arrives as quickly as they state it should. -Elroy Quote
roamingstop Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 MagCloud DOES ship to the UK - thats how I ordered my copies of issue 1-6 - and the print quality is pretty d. good. Very professional, and the photos are spot on. The colours which show most variation are the generated images of the build process - and then it is only like looking at Lego instructions. Quote
Gareth Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Cool thanks for that information Guys, when I get payed on the 15th I sure am going to get a couple of copies. Quote
Toastie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 RAILBRICKS Issue #8 is available for download. -Elroy Dear Elroy + the entire RB team, WOW! I just downloaded RB #8. Another must-have. I am going to order a couple of print versions, as I did before. In this issue, you all have mastered (again) a hard thing to do: From Duplo trains to cool building instructions, from the past to the Maersk train so many people are freaking out about. THAT is what makes a modern but never the less serious journal is all about. This issue again is reference material, something you want in your book shelf (as I do) or as high-res PDF on your computer, as the new generation of LEGO builders might prefer. Thank you very much for all the work and imagination!!! All the best, Thorsten P.S.: Look up the city Kiel in Northern Germany. Got my PhD there, love the city and the people!!! Quote

Yeah, you can just download it in PDF format for free- then save it on your hard drive. You can print it out from there or just access it from your hdd. From an energy saving point of view the PDF version is by far the 'greenest' option- otherwise loads more fuel will be used in the production and delivery of a printed version. Quote

Hi Legoless, you are absolutely right about the energy saving issue. But: I happen to have some LEGO catalogs from the early 70's. I'll never give them away. PDFs have been around for some time now, but my oh my, who knows what will happen in/to cyber space a couple of years down the road ... let's say in 20 or 30 years. 30 years ago, the internet was not only unthinkable, you would have been in serious trouble if you'd claimed that the internet will simply take over in virtually all aspects of life. Reference material is something I may want as printed version. If you are reasonably careful, that material lives for ever, at least on my "for ever" time scale, which spans maybe 100+ years. You are right when it comes to things you simply want to read, may want to read again and then may well forget about it. But the RB magazine is something I want to have access to for a very long time. The content has been carefully reviewed and thus is generally of great value, TLC's bricks last forever, right? I use public transportation and some walk to get to my office everyday, try to avoid driving the car whenever possible, and this and that. I believe that this may be more efficient than trying to be radically green on printed issues of RB. All just my opinion! Once again, in principle, you are absolutely right! All the best, and good to know that some people do care about the environment ... Thorsten Quote
