    Help! I went crazy!

    Two pieces of advice: 1) Get a copy of Jean-Paul Sartre - "Existentialism is a Humanism" and read it. 2) With the newfound knowledge conducive to getting your life handled, change your lifestyle and make your life what you want it to be. I emphasize: this is not a troll post. I'm serious. Good luck with the rest of your life!
  3. Hi guys, I just have to ask you: what do you think of the Emerald Night? I have never owned a single Lego train set in my life and also have never really felt the urge to get one, but somehow the Emerald Night is appealing. I feel like this train is kind of one-of-a-kind, and something like it won't come up again very soon. If that's the case I'd probably regret not buying it. Please understand. I actually really don't want to dish out 90 euros at the moment but at the same time, I wouldn't want to taste the bitter flavour of regret in the near future, too. Kept simply: is the 10194 Emerald Night really a goddamn holy cow this is AWESOME frickin' sh** w0000t Lego set that I should in no way pass out on? Or is it not that big of a deal? Thanks.

    Lego in Madrid

    Well, don't let yourself ruin the joy of having some Lego there during your holiday but I would really only buy small sets. That is, if you actually want to open them during the holiday (in the hotel). If not, just buy it in Croatia if you're going to open it in Croatia anyway.

    Lego in Madrid

    As a general rule, I wouldn't buy much LEGO abroad if it's not cheaper than in your own country. Just do some currency calculating and find out. If somethings cheap in comparison to your country's standards or not even available where you live, you can buy it. But buying LEGO during your holiday just for the sake of buying during your holiday is nonsense. In case you feel the urge and everythings actually MORE expensive than where you live... collectible minifigs are your man. Or go look for something that's not available in your region, in particular that means look out for small independent toy stores that may still carry older sets, possibly even at a reduced price! :)

    REVIEW: 4645 Harbour

    I kind of like these bigger sets of the new harbour theme but the pricing is upright ridiculous. 294 parts equal 50 (!) euros, 550 are coming down to 80 (!!!) euros. And that with CITY sets! City's not becoming Star Wars, is it?
  8. Hi there, the title pretty much says it all. I'm open to offers from all around the world. I'm also on the eurobricks straight-shooters list. Enpaz

    Review: 20021 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship

    Unbelievable... those mini sets are getting better and better! First the Slave I, and then this...
  10. I've just sent you my answers for your questions. I took my time and filled in the questionnaire to the best of my knowledge. Hope it helps. Cheers Enpaz

    Need help translating from english to german

    Well, for the train stations I would say: Castle station - Burgbahnhof or Schlossbahnhof (That doesn't exist in real life, does it?) Harbour station - Hafenbahnhof <city name> Airport station - Flughafenbahnhof <city name>, Bahnhof <city name> Flughafen. Train station means "Bahnhof" in German. Good luck with your stickers!
  12. Sorry, overlooked that. But also don't really see the relevance because a lot of other guys posted before he did and in the end he didn't need anything, anyway. But just to be clear: I'm not angry or something in any way. It's alright, man.
  13. Sorry, but I won't give them out as apparently my post for getting something didn't qualify. Call me asocial, but I really thought of this of something more like a "give-and-take". And, the window pieces would have been without the windows. Enpaz

    LEGO parts made of Chinese plastic?

    Well, as for me, I haven't got anything against Chinese parts. I dislike lower quality. The problem is that this goes pretty much hand in hand! I fully respect your need not discriminate Chinese labour, Anchir! But believing that the quality of pieces manufactured in China will improve more than ever so slightly is wishful thinking! There's a reason TLG built some new factories in China rather than anywhere else. They want cheap labour, and are willing to sacrifice equivalent quality for that. If that wasn't true, than they had better create new factories in the Czech republic, any other European country, or maybe even Mexico, but certainly not in China. Sorry, but outsourcing some production plants to CHINA knowing that quality isn't top notch but with the intention of getting the quality to match Danish Lego in the end, that would be stupid. On the other hand, though, I really think that you, MinifigFreak, are taking this whole thing too seriously. Of course you're entitled to have your own opinion, but actually, chinese parts in regular sets don't REALLY differ from regular parts. I mean, specialty parts have ALWAYS looked a bit different than others, haven't they? At least they don't concern me in regular sets. And I'm veeery pedantic. ;) Yet it's an entirely different story with minifig parts. They are noticably lower quality and they are annoying me. I don't buy any magnet packs, for that reason. But you can undoubtedly buy ANY regular set without concern, if you ask me. Disliking Chinese plastic is difficult already (e.g. incomprehending bricklink sellers), so let's not extend this to regular sets.
  15. I would need smilie heads and the Qui-Gon one (6)! If possible, head number 5 and 7 would also be great. And I've got some parts to give, too, of course. For example all 2 stud wide window parts in brand new condition from the creator windows & doors set. But also an Adventurers white suit torso (from Senor Palomar).
  16. So you would say it's better than the Maersk ship?´ Thanks for your replies, guys.

    Historic LEGO Photography

    fenris, I love your Spartan photography! "300" and "Thou shalt not pass" are the best ones in my opinion. Are all those shot with a Digital Ixus? I'm taking it macro mode is responsible for the awesomely shallow depth of fields in some of your pics. Or do you happen to know of another way to decrease depth of field with a digital still camera other than closing the aperture and zooming in (and macro)? Cheers!

    MOC: European Train Station

    Very nice building and great use of the bley minifigure statues! Your station soo much reminds me of the Copenhagen central train station.

    Which is more seaworthy- Skull Eyes Schooner or Imperial Flagship

    Seaworthy of course the Imperial Flagship! The SES hasn't even got a deck - the minifigs walk around directly on the hull, which is not cool. On the other hand, the Skull's Eye Schooner looks great and is a real classic, an awesome Lego set. But frankly, it's somewhat of a toy in comparison to the IFS, and therefore not as seaworthy, even though it's really lovely and adorable. It should at least have a deck like the BSB!

    Lego Built large format camera

    Something like that could be really useful for Brickfilmin'! Cool find.

    LEGO Ship in a bottle - Video

    Nice! BigCam, I totally agree with you. Such slow-motion videos really tend to "skip" the finished product, that's moderately annoying. By the way (@OP), I'm sittin' here in Austria and for me the video works. Kind of strange that it doesn't show in your country (Germany).
  22. I think it's the "collector's value". Determines how rare the set (in the book's opinion) is. EDIT: Let's not get too off-topic there! Information about what's going on in your restroom isn't really... uhm... you know what I mean.
