Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Tokru replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
How about a bookshop then? An antiques dealer? A general practitioner's practice? It doesn't has to be shops though. How about small craft producers? Maybe a small car workshop? There are many possibilities for businesses that fit into the ground floor of residential buildings. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Tokru replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I only ment the modular buildings. Official, or single purpose buildings are: the town hall, the fire brigade, the emporium, the bank, the cinema. Those are needed in a real town, but never make up a big portion of all buildings. Residential, multi purpose buildings are always in the majority. Therefore I think it's more plausible to release more of those. -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Tokru replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I think it shouldn't be an official, or better single purpose, building. Therefore no school, library, hospital etc. There are already enough of those. More residential buildings with small shops on the ground floor are needed for a realistic street. -
I wasn't aware that shade of blue even existed in Lego. Great job! The interior details are especially lovely. The (polosopher's?) bust and the small scale model ship are indeed very fitting for an old library.

I really like the details of the top part and the color scheme. What I don't like are the small arches for the pedestrians. The 1 stud wide supports on both sides are just too narrow to support the upper structure. It looks a bit odd in my eyes. Did you consider making them 2 studs wide?

LDD How to deal with many bricks and lag?
Tokru replied to LegoAcklay's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Have you tried disabling the outlines of bricks in the options? That's the first thing I do if it get's laggy and it helps greatly on slower PCs. -
That's extremely beautiful. I like the color scheme and how detailed everything is even in the most remote corners.

I can understand the distaste for stickers but in this case I think it's unavoidable. Maybe someone with kowledge of the production process can correct me, but I'm quite convinced that it's not possible to print a mirror on Lego bricks.

[2016 Digital Design Contest] - Rules, prizes and questions
Tokru replied to Superkalle's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Do we have to provide a .lxf file (or similar) to prove that no illegal pieces/colors/techniques were used "behind the scenes"? -
LDD 4.3.9 bugs and issues
Tokru replied to JC75's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Another thing why I prefer the normal mode: I can see if a part is or was available in a specific color (though I already noticed it's not completely accurate, some colors are missing). In extended mode you would have to check every part on bricklink if you want to design something that is actually buildable. With enough experience that may not be such a huge problem, but for me it still is. -
I'm confused. Did they paint their roofs partially yellow back then or is it supposed to be a different material than the brown parts of the roof? I was in Ireland once but did not pay attention to cottage roofs. Apart from my confusion it's a nice little hause with neat details.

Inconsistency with Power Functions order accuracy
Tokru replied to ProducePrincess's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Just curious, did you have to send those sets back or did Lego just consider them as a loss anyway? -
Do you want the Lego collectible bubble to burst?
Tokru replied to Gomek's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Not only that. When I recently looked up all the sets I got as a child in the mid-90s on brickset, I realized that everything was really old (by todays standard). I got sets that were produced at the end of the 80s and early 90s. And It wasn't because my parents went out of their way to look for them. Those sets were still in every toy store. -
Maybe you aren't aware of it, but you can turn on outlines of bricks in the options of LDD. I think that makes it far easier to build and it also looks better than the standard options. I just don't like when I build bigger structures and they are a big block of, for instance, grey in the end. It would bring a lot of detail to your pictures because you would be able to see the wall's structure. But it also uses a bit more processing power of your computer.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 16 Rumors and Discussion
Tokru replied to 8BrickMario's topic in Special LEGO Themes
In today's times it could also very well be LEGO itself leaking the pictures as a form of viral marketing. Trying everything to make them look like real "ilegally" leaked pictures. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 16 Rumors and Discussion
Tokru replied to 8BrickMario's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Well, let's wait for a picture of every figure. Different people seem to interpret the leaked picture differently. I came across the opinion, that the one which is refered to as the Rogue here, may be an Arabian Knight Archer. The real Rogue therefore isn't on the picture. Of course it's still speculation. -

Tokru replied to 8BrickMario's topic in Special LEGO Themes
But an Arabian Knight has nothing to do with Antiquity. It's medieval. -
LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 16 Rumors and Discussion
Tokru replied to 8BrickMario's topic in Special LEGO Themes
What a pity. No new Antiquity figure. The rest looks OK so far. -
Wait, the box could be valuable? I just got the chicken suit guy in the Lego Store for free and imediately dumped the box because it seemed pointless to have that.

Here is what I got today in Leipzig. The pieces on the bottom left are from a mixed box.

None of the above images violate the regulations Images: Don't post images that are over 1,024 x 768 (or 768 x 1,024 for pictures with a portrait orientation) or are LEGO confidential. Images rarely need to be over 800 x 600, and any that are over 1MB (including GIFs) are not allowed unless there is admin approval. BMPs are never allowed. Avatar images should be 100 x 100 (and under 20k if hosted on EB), and may not be more than 400 x 400 (and 100k, even if hosted remotely). No animated GIFs are to be used as avatars. Before registering, please familiarize yourself with these tutorials to learn how to reduce your own images. Also, when quoting, don't quote images unless it is specifically needed. This just fills up posts with repeat images for no reason.

Great work. I especially love the printing press.

Is this rule codified somewhere? Because I always had the impression that the view point or the obvious front of something determines what is width and what is depth. I'm just curious because I never heard of that.

Fantastic build. The little historic errors are indeed negligible and the vast mayority wouldn't even notice them
