snefroe Posted November 16, 2005 just a remark and i know it's been said before, but if you post pics of mocs, could you please: 1) tell if you're the creator or not 2) if not, give a link to your source or identify the creator of the moc (i'd be happy with a brickshelf link) there are fair reasons for this: 1) it's not particularly legal/fair to post pics without permission or without a link to the source 2) a creator deserves to get the credit for his/her work 3) it's less confusing for all the other members in case they have questions about the moc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted November 16, 2005 Going back to the original picture, *wacko* this is why castle builders never tend to use dark grey, I cannot see dark bley working out in castle MOCs at all, it seems to metallic and has a space feel to it. The picture a few posts above shows mottling when it works, a few small shades here and there really give the effect, unlike the mottling in the first pic which didn't work at all. I would also like to back up Sne's plee. Please just post a link of the gallery so we can see where it comes from and who it belongs to. As he said, it would make it so much easier to discuss people's MOCs without confusion ;) Jon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted November 16, 2005 Yes, fully cite your sources children! The horrible truth has dawned upon me... BLEY IS HORRIBLE FOR USE WITH CASTLE AND FORT WALLS!!! Whadda we gonna do when all the traditional grey vanishes from the second hand market? That won't happen for decades, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whadda we gonna do when all the traditional grey vanishes from the second hand market? That won't happen for decades, right? Of course not. In 10 years original grays will be more valuable the gold and none of us will be able to afford them. :( I think the new grays look nice. I do like the old better but I am fine with the new ones which won't yellow like the old ones did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That won't happen for decades, right? based on the amount of second hand lego you can buy these days, it's kind of hard to imagine old grey will one day disappear all together... you know how it goes, don't you? lots of people who are buying current sets will sell their ISD's, of what's left of it, in a couple of years, and will return to their Dark Age, others will see their Dark Age for the first time...

And as for the light grey... http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=10145&c...&cn=96&d=18&t=7 Lots of grey in the "old" color Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhhhhh, Count Sneffy I was just being pedantic for the sake of being pedantic. I do that alot... I can't foresee traditional grey disappearing ever! And we haven't even taken into account some people will buy it second hand, keep it for a few years, then sell it back on the second hand market. Its all part of a cycle. Unless of course everybody rushes out and buys all the tradional grey bricks and never sells them again... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sting Posted November 17, 2005 It will be a battle. At least I know my shipping for the most part will be cheaper(Or will it be more... since the more lego you order the higher shipping costs) :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
