    2011 Alien Conquest

    This new theme looks pretty cool, I'm digging those alien heads, I may have to get a few of the cheaper sets. Woohoo! Finally TLG has a modern pitchfork! get in! back of the net! The only dissapointing things are the human vehicles, blue vehicles! yuck The alien in 7049 Alien Striker impulse set reminds of those aliens from the Fifth Element movie. The news reporter in the 7065 Alien Mothership set looks awesome, he has one of those brain sucking things from Futurama I was skeptical about these sets but from the pictures they don't look too bad, not too shabby.

    Lego "Sort & Store" Minifig Head

    Hi, I've found the perfect lego storage solution for me. Here. They're about £26 each which is about $41. I'm sure there are something similar across the pond. I'm going to get a few once the shed is finished.

    ideas for building criminals/thugs?

    An idea I have is to do a small Lego Mafia, the 'don' or boss with this torso. The rest of the mafia would wear suits, their weapons would be tommy guns and baseball bats. If you're after just petty thugs and criminals then TLG has a wide array of weapons/utensils, just have a look on bricklink, if it's guns then brickarms is the place.

    MOC - Road House

    Hi there, I've been watching this little gas station and it looks pretty cool. If you're still interested in ideas, an air pressure pump for refilling tyres and/or water spray for hosing down vehicles, they'd be pretty small, it would just add a bit more detail.
  6. The 7 new ones sound interesting but could be just rumours. I could actually see TLG doing a mobster, why not? the Buckingham Palace guard has a brown gun. Eskimo seems likely, the zookeeper could also be a vet or bird trainer, not sure. Judge sounds awesome, I'll definately be making a courthouse, Judge: "I find the defendant guilty!" "Penalty for not wearing hair or hat and revealing your head stud is death by disassembly!" I wonder what the red and blue figs will be.

    LDD MOC - Balloons at the Park

    Hi, nice little set, it would be great with more, like a modular kind of thing. I've always thought about balloons and settled on that there aren't any bricks that would make great balloons, the only way would be if TLG or one of the custom shops makes a balloon mold. TBH I can't see doing it unless they do a balloon salesman, the bunch of balloons would probably be all one piece and different coloured.

    MOC: Farm tractors

    Cool models, my bro would love them and buy them if he could. The harvester is awesome, proper job!

    Vehicle building tips

    Hi, I like to keep it the same as the Lego sets so 4 wide for cars and 6 wide for trucks. If I had a 6 wide car on the road with some 4 wide cars it would just look odd.

    Taylor Town

    Hi, that's a real nice city, did you say your area is 14 feet by 4 feet? and any chance of maybe a long shot? as I think it would look good to give us a general idea of the size of your city. I see the problem with your airport, it's those damn planes, they're just far too big but so irresistable. An idea could be to suspend the planes with some 'invisible' wire so they don't take up the room. Maybe try and fit in a small runway and try moving the track around a bit so they're not too close.

    In My Kingdom Cold...

    I have to say that this MOC is amazing I was gobsmacked when I saw the pics. This has to be one of the best LDD mocs I've seen. Proper job!

    How does the POTC theme fit into your world?

    I know I will get the captain's cabin and isle de muerta sets for all the nice little bits and bobs and because they're cheap. I had a few pirate sets from the last theme and only wish I had enough money to collect both pirates and city sets because pirates are just so awesome but I must say that the QAR ship does look very tasty and am looking forward to see what the black pearl will be like.

    REVIEW: Creator 5766 Log Cabin

    Hi there, I gave this an average rating as for me it doesn't leap straight out at me but the addition of the minifig is nice, I'd also like TLG to continue this kind of 'wilderness' theme, eg. bringing back the polar bear mold but brown. I think I will get this set in the future, the parts will be useful and I might have a go to make it more 'logish'. I also voted the beach house because I liked all the windows and doors and roof tiles you get with it.
  14. Updated my list, I also have a Gorilla. I'm now looking to trade for series 1 skater, cowboy, wrestler, crash test dummy, zombie and series 2 ringmaster, traffic cop, surfer, lifeguard, disco guy, pop star, karate guy, spartan.
  15. Hi there, I'm from northumberland, north east england and I'm looking to trade for Series 3 Sumo and/or Rapper. To trade I have: Samurai, Racer, Indian 2x Snowboarder, 3x Cyborg 3x Pilot, 3x Tennis Player Unsealed and in good condition.

    UK face to face trades

    Hi there, I'm from the north east and I agree there should be some sort of Lego event and shop up here. Where abouts are you from? I'm from northumberland area.

    Most likely new licensed themes of 2012

    Hi there, Western - I think that the western would be great, especially if it isn't licensed as we'd get yellow heads yay We have been waiting a very long time for this and hope this does come to fruition, fingers crossed. Space - Lego already has Alien Conquest coming out in July which I'd imagine will continue through 2012. National Tresure 3 - I'm looking forward to the movie but TLG already has Pharoh's Quest which may have subthemes for 2012 I hope. Clash of the Titans - I'm all for a greek/roman theme but I think it's too early, I'd imagine this could be possible with the discontinuation of Kingdoms theme so the 2 don't 'clash'. Cheers.

    Favorite Adventure Subtheme

    I voted for the egyptian theme as those were the only ones I had and only a few of them but seeing those other themes I wish had a few of those too, they do look really cool.

    Pharoh's Quest Steampunk Thingy MOC

    Thanks for all the great comments! Yeah, I really wanted to use those pirate swords as legs, I might try a smaller moc with the swords. Lol I just noticed the resemblance with the SW AT-RT. An idea for my next one is to make one with a cannon I'm also going to expand my gold parts collection with some ninjago sets and POTC when they come out then I'll make an egyptian style one Cheers.
  20. These series 4 minifigures look awesome, I like pretty much most of them especially that hazmat guy. Series 5 looks good too, but S4 will definately keep me occupied until S5, great pics!

Cheers.

    Lego "Sort & Store" Minifig Head

    Hi not sure, which one? I don't know about the storage head I can't find it on TLG site and the box has been discontinued.

    Lego "Sort & Store" Minifig Head

    Hi there, I haven't got one of those but they do look fun and practical, I do have one of TLGs sorting boxes. This one. and it is really handy, I think $40 is about £25, I'd say get one or two, depends on how much lego you have

    Hi everybody...

    Hi Ratshot thanks for the welcome. I do like pirates, my main theme though is city but I like to have my fingers in a bit of everything. My avatar is supposed to be a kind of highwayman with pumpkin head but I guess it does look a bit piratey, argh! it was just a random fig I made that I thought would make a nice avatar. Cheers.
