José's Inn - Ye Olde BoBS Drinking Hole

[CapOnBOBS]

Yeah, whatever flavor you do it, hope you all have a happy holiday season!

[evancelt]

Happy Holidays all!

[Capt Wolf]

Merry Christmas to all of BoBS.   I hope the jolly red minifig brings you all the bricks you wished for!

[dr_spock]

Merry Christmas.   May Santa brings you lots of rum and LEGO.

 

[Jeff of Clubs]

Ha! Happy holidays all. Looking forward to next year!

[Spud The Viking]

I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas!!

Looking forward to seeing some more builds over the holidays (maybe even featuring some new pieces? )

[KotZ]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Happy to announce that I ended Christmas with less lego than I began. My daughter (almost 4) asked Santa the other day for "A lego pirate ship OF MY OWN, that I can build with daddy and then keep in my room to be mine!" So Barracuda Bay has been out of stock for weeks, so I reboxed mine and very selflessly wrapped it up for her. She shrieked "AH MY VERY OWN PIRATE SHIP!" Great success!

@CapOnBOBS Very nice story. Maybe your daughter will be joining the Sea Rats in 14 years?

The ultimate sacrifice.

Honestly, this is a really cool move from you. I don't know if I would have the strength of character to do this.

That's so cute (and barbaric at the same time  ). At least your daughter is into pirates. A single thought crossed my mind when I was buying Barracuda Bay back then, to get it x3 that is (daddy, son A and son B) but I didn't won the lottery so I passed and carried on with my life

Me neither. Yet again mine are (fortunately?) only 3+ and 2+ . I guess in a couple of years we can build "grown up" stuff together (I mean other than cars and various stuff with loads of wheels in strange places) 

[Wellesley]

A lovely story. One of the few situations less Lego is acceptable.

Oh man. What a coincidence! I had to trade my kid for a used Barracuda bay! ;) seriously though, that's awesome. More kids need a parent like that.

[Professor Thaum]

amusing stories.

Magic of christmas

Popped in to see if a light was on in the print shop.  Nope. Regardless...

Happy New Year!

Kudos to you. Dad of the year!

Actually, couriers have been spotted taking messages to the KPA offices this week ...

Happy New Year folks!

Thanks to the amazing people who work behind the scenes to keep the game running, and to all you builders who keep this wonderful game alive!! 

[blackdeathgr]

Happy New Year to everybody and their families guys!

Happy New Years all!

Had a LEGO-y xmas after giving my kids a ton of Classic Castle loose parts. There is a large castle under construction at the moment.

Spoiler

Some crazy fires here in Colorado meant we had to evacuate for a while but hopefully back to building soon

These are great photos of the castle building with your kids! I hope your home survived the fire unscathed.

It's great seeing people build! My dad and I built the Fender stratocaster over the holidays (his first set ever) and now he went and ordered the new modular for himself.

[blackdeathgr]

@evancelt @KotZ @CapOnBOBS are all preparing the next inhabitants of BoBS mkII (yes, KotZ's Dad too!  )

[Jeff of Clubs]

P.S.A.

That is all...

[Ross Fisher]

I feel like this is the TV series this game/forum deserves:

 

[blackdeathgr]

I so totally loved it!!!! Waititi? Yes sir! A nice March indeed!
