  1. "Gelbe vom Ei" is just a german expression. Bulldozer would be quite tempting, the original PF bulldozer was the set that got me back into lego.
  2. If I take a photo of a lambo, I own the copyright to the photo, not lambo. Why shouldn't I own the copyright to a MOC of a lambo if I make one? Now selling a MOC with the lambo name on it however, that I couldn't due without permission to use the name.
  3. Doesn't really matter - the color on your screen may not match how it looks like in person, but if the colors were identical then they would still be identical on your screen. Just not identical between the screen and the real thing.
  4. Could always replace the parts - back when monster fighters was out you could order glow in the dark parts off of pick a brick, including the bars.
  5. Customer service is nice. I had a broken M motor once and LEGO sent a replacement and all they asked for was to return the broken one for testing/diagnosis/post mortem pretty please.
  6. Looks like a drunken sailor, but I like how well it synchronizes =)
  7. If they are introducing some sort of new system,. maybe they are worried about the existing version being less attractive.
  8. I have seen 42070 for 170-190 fairly regularly on amazon.de / kaufhof / karstadt. This year I'm going to wait before buying the sets, none of them look so appealing that I want them now and not when they are on sale. Others like the bulldozer, excavater, and unimog I couldn't wait.
  9. It would be nice if there was a big surprise lurking under the tree this year. (Watching the various BBC specials with friends is always a nice thing to do at Christmas)
  10. I really like the look of this !
  11. I picked up three mostly complete 8446 sets for 50-60 euros each 3 or 4 years ago... the big tires are unique, but they are also really really heavy. Ended up with a complete A and B model and a small pile of spares. Right now I'm not really looking for any technic sets, I have just about every studless set and a few studded sets (such as the space shuttle). I do regret not buying 2 41999s because I haven't been able to justify opening the one copy I did buy with the insane resale prices, but that doesn't count.
  12. Just because numbers written differently doesn't mean numerals are easier to read in the wrong order.
  13. I'm still hoping for a secret awesome 40th anniversary set.
  14. I was gone a week on a trip, come back, and I won! Yay! Thanks for organizing this CopMike!
  15. I always wake up in the winter and see the snow covered bushes outside my windows and enjoy looking at them, before actually having to get up and walk / ride to work through the cold.
  16. I have a fairly large number of spare football figures I want to get rid of. I'd prefer selling multiple at once. Uninsured shipping is about 4 euros, insured was 8 or 9 the last time I shipped to england, but I originally was quoted 12 so I don't know whats up with that. As a warning: it usually takes ma a couple of days to get to the post office. First of all, a set of ten: (21) Reus (NA) Loew (2) Mustafi (9) Schuerrle (6) Khedira (8) Oezil (7) Schweinsteiger (18) Kroos (13) Mueller (17) Boateng I think 45 for the lot sounds fair. Additional spare figures: (9) Schuerrle x 2 (6) Khedira x 1 (7) Schweinsteiger x 1 To avoid cherry picking expensive ones and to cover packing + trips to the post office I'll go with - 1 fig for 6 - 2 figs for 10 - 3 figs for 14 - any additional figs: 3.50 each
  17. Well, if nobody wants em I'll dump em at the local fleamarket.
  18. yup. I'll double check my spares when I get home, but this list should still be up to date.

    71014 Soccer Minifig Series

    When I was in the city center a week ago, 4 out of 5 stores I was in still had them. Haven't been back since.

    71014 Soccer Minifig Series

    I'm missing Neuer and have a bunch of spares, anyone want to trade? And once I finish my set I'll have to figure out the best way of getting rid of my spares. Is there a trading/selling thread anywhere I oversaw?

    71014 Soccer Minifig Series

    Is there a trading thread for these anywhere? I'm missing three for a complete set and have a bunch of spares.
  22. So, beware of dinosaurs bearing presents? Awesome!
  23. A nice palm tree, on the beach, in the warm sunshine. (And if I figure out how to build it without using 100% illegal techniques, I'll update the photo)
  24. I have spent the last weekend working on a new GBC/marble module. Currently it mostly works but the ball pickup still needs to be synchronized to stop an occasional jam and I may end up having to reinforce the lift arms to stop oscillations from dumping the balls. link link I'm also not happy with the way the 45 degree angle pieces are connected on the two upper arms, but I couldn't figure out how to create the sqrt(2) offset I would need if I didn't lower them by one again. PS: Is there some way to thumbnail external images? [TIMG] doesn't appear to work.
  25. Here's version 2, this version is also more reliable..
