    SigFig Artworks

    Sorry to trouble you, but could you make a pic of me? Torso is better seen here (no hook, plz). However, I do have some requests: - Trenchcoat is being worn over the torso design - Smirk is a fierce grimace (no happy smiles for this fellow!) - Epaulettes on trenchcoat, not torso - Epaulettes gold, not blue - No rifle, just pistol, and not necessarily in that pose Sorry to be so demanding. Just do what you can whenever! Thanks in advance.

    The Goshawk

    I'm surprised you just started building in this medium! Excellent MOC. I like how you've added a sidecar-type thingy. Excellent!

    Galactic Idol!

    I got the two new impulses last night and got the impulse to make this! "Hello and welcome to Galactic Idol! I'm Random Smarmy Drone 537 and have we got a show for you!" "But first, our judges:" Hugh Man, Comissioner of Space Police. Good evening. Fleshly Flesh, Queen of Fleshland winner of best compliment award 33 years in a row! Now, don't age me, 537! *giggle* And finally, the Randy Jackson zombie soldier! YO! Dawggy dawg! Brains! "And now our first contestant: Kraanx!" "What are you singing tonight?" We Are the Champions". Best song EVER! "I've done my times...I've paid my dues..." "It's a something and something and somethingerather LOOOOSE!" "Stage Dive!!!" OOMPH. Ok! Judges? It was okay. A little pitchy WHHAATT? That was fantastic! Right, Randy? You're looking awfully cute, girl. Can I eat your brain? "Final answer?" NO! Yes! Brai-I mean, yes dawg! Then it's settled! Congrats, Kraanx! Kraanx? BLAARGH!!! We'll be back after these messageeeessssssss!!!!!
  4. King Leo's Castle (all the way back from 2001) was my most recent find (in 2008) - it still cost me $100, but it was worth it! The oldest set I've ever found (that I remember off the top of my head) was....all the way back from the Armada line, in 2004. Nice find.

    Ruin Keep

    He's baaaaaaaaack..... Welcome back, iamded! Nice little fort/camp idea! Will we see more of these (perhaps an extension of the wall/fort/etc.)? Ingenious balancing of the lightbulb, btw. I'm not an electrician or anything (far from it ) but isn't there a way to stick copper wire and a battery under the bulb to make it work? Nice job.

    Guitars: Playing and Appreciating

    I have several guitars (one for metal, two for rock, one for jazz/blues and an acoustic): - Gibson Xplorer (black finish) - Gibson SG (Satin Gold finish - Raw Power edition ) - Fender Telecaster (blonde finish, "Road Worn" edition) - Jay Turser Acoustic (black+red finish) My first guitar was the acoustic - I've had it since I was twelve. I saved up my money, then went down south to buy my SG ( ). It turns out my parents had already purchased an Epiphone G-400 for me for christmas...so I sold it to get some money for a school trip. Last year, a friend sold me his Xplorer, but I personally am not a fan of the awkward styling (nice sound, though). My Teley is my most recent acquisition; I purchased it from the music store at a twenty-five percent discount because the guy on duty thought it was busted up (but that's just the finish). My fav of my guitars would have to be my SG - it's a beautiful machine with amazing sound.

    Star Wars Lot

    Want! But first, some questions.... - How much? - Paypal accepted? - Do you ship worldwide (mainly, Canada?)? - If you want to trade, then what for? - MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION: Do the troopers come with helmets and goggles? If not, will you substitute for other headgear? Just a statement: I'm not a fan of trading (I want to buy lego, not send it away!) but will pay good money for these figures and the weapons. Any comments?

    Pillaging Port Royal

    Fighting? Check. Undead Pirates? Check. People dumping barrels of poo? ( ) Check. Looks like everything's in order. What an interesting and inventive MOC. Good work.

    Bricktober

    I got that brick from a friend for Christmas a while back. I should make a note to thank him again!! What angers me about TRU is how America-centred this latest deal is. Zip here in the Great White North. Not even a 5%-off dealio. Nothing! I had to go to Watertown to get the bricks, and that was an interesting experience in itself....

    Lego Batman gameplay

    *ahem* Sorry to revive an old topic, but I'm having a bit of an issue.... I'm at the beginning of the final level in the Hero Joker segment and I just don't know what i'm supposed to do. Where do I go? What's happening? (I feel like an old person at a rap concert) So, if it's not too hard (hehe ) could someone give me a brief walkthrough of the opening of the level? Thanks.

    Why do Star Wars fans hate Star Trek so much?

    I'm a die-hard trekkie, but I love all sci-fi series, SW included. Just...I love me some Star Trek!

    For Whom The Bell Tolls!

    Time marches on? Fantastic creation, such texture and attention to detail. Perhaps you could show us some tips in creating a brick-built base like the one pictured?

    Lego Rip-off Brands

    ...perhaps "copied" is too strong a word. Maybe...attempted?Besides, Lego has taken many of these fellows to court previously.... and lost. Anyways, in the instance of the Megabloks Halo Wars and their recently deceased Pyrates lines, they took clone branding above and beyond cloning - they produced something that was fantastic! JOINTED LIMBS! That means bending arms and legs, not just at the shoulder and waist, but also at the elbow and knee! What's more, they have waists that can rotate 360 Degrees! But, wait, there's more! Their Pyrates theme actually COEXISTED with their Pirates of the Carribean sets - they were combinable for added play! That is pure business genius! Unfortunately, as usual, the quality stinks (think a genius whose fingers get run over by the neighbor's Hummer every day) and often the set ideas are semi-mediocre. Yet, just think what Lego could do if they followed the Megabloks Pyrates example! The money they could make......its depressing.

    Casa Baron By Antonio Gaudi found on Brickshelf

    So curvy, so organic! A perfect snapshot of post-modernism! Fantastic find! Just something else, there's a haunted house (funhouse) near Niagara Falls (ON) that looks almost identical to this....

    WIP: Superbe, a French 80 gun Ship of the Line

    Very nicely done! I agree, that Neptune just gives me a look that screams "I may be old, but I'll still whup yer megablocks, boyo!" Excellent progress; I can't wait to see the finished ship. My one qualm is that your 36 pounders and 24 pounders are too similar; it took me a few minutes to see the difference (the added two by four plate above the wheels). Perhaps we can see a tad more embellishment (so to say) on the 36 pounders (i.e. some gold leaf, etc?) Perhaps a bit far-fetched, but, IMHO, a good distinction to make. Good work so far.
