  3. Thanks CopMike for doing this again! Due to my recent move, all my lego is still in boxes... so I made a digital entry. All I want for Christmas this year is a nice cozy chair in my new home:

    EB Xmas Raffle 2013

    Great entries so far! Love this raffle! Here's my entry, thought I'd wish the monsters a merry christmas this year: Good luck everyone!
  5. Thank you Sandy for the nice feedback! Really great that you took the time to rate all the entries. I'm hesitating to join the Guilds of Heroica RPG, so maybe you'll see me there soon!
  6. Wow! The entries look amazing, I love how many unique ideas people have come up with whitin the same theme! I just finished and posted my entry, hope you like it! Best of luck to all contestants!
  7. Hey all! Here's my entry: The old outpost Here’s the back-story for my moc, I tried to write it like the set-up for a quest: On the outskirts of Waldur Forest, near an old passage through the Mountains of Nathuz, lies a long forgotten outpost. Once used in days of old by the soldiers of Fortaan, it has long since been abandoned. Or so we thought. Recently, strange murmurings have been heard around the watchtower, and light has been seen flickering behind its crumbled walls. Rumor has it that an old (and slightly mental) druid has been wandering in the forest and occupied the ruin. From here he carries out his evil plan of overrunning Ennon with slimy marshes that he summons from his left hand. Enjoy! Best of luck to all contestants!
  8. I'm not very familiar with the world of Herorica, but this contest is a good excuse for getting to know the RPG a little better. Already got a fun idea for an entry, good luck to everyone who enters!
  9. Hey all, I would like to share my new LDD MOC with you, a scale model of the entrance to Legoland Germany. I had a lot of fun building it in LDD and would love to see it realised as a real set with CUUSOO. That's why I decided to upload it: The Legoland Germany Entrance on CUUSOO Imagine taking this home as a souvenir from the park. Feedback is more than welcome, thanks for reading!

    Legoland Entrance - LDD MOC

    Thanks for the support people! Thank you both for your feedback! I'll try and add tiles and more details next week, i'm a little busy now and rendering takes lots of time. Thank you for the kind explanation and title edit, I edited my post to be more focussed on the model itself than on the CUUSOO project. Hope it's okay now.

  15. Set: #852702 Dwarfs Battle Pack Theme: Castle Year: 2009 Pieces: 42 Minifigs: 5 Welcome to my first review on Eurobricks. I am currently crawling out of my dark ages and trying to get some of the great Lego I missed in the past years. I was lucky enough to find this set, along with #852701 Trolls Battle Pack (review) at an online store. I checked the review database but I could not find another review of this set, so I decided to give it a shot. Well on to the review: The box The box gets the job done nicely, it puts the dwarfs (already taken out) against a nice backdrop of a castle. The dwarfs rest firmly in a plastic slide out, none of them were out of place when I received the set. Back: As you can see, some of the parts are made in China, I know I’m a nitpicker, but still this bothers me a bit because the figs themselves stand out a bit next to other ‘normal’ figs, more on that later. Contents We get five dwarfs (already assembled and equipped) and a bucket with a mallet and a spade. Accessories include two crystal pieces (gold and silver), three axes, a torch, three printed shields and a pickaxe, which I believe looks different from the “not Chinese” pickaxes, but I’m not sure, I don’t have another one for reference at this time. The dwarfs in all their glory. It’s a bit hard to balance them because of the short legs and large accessories, so they lean on their axes for support. I gave them a clean shave so you can see all the different faces, no clones in this pack, which is a big plus! One of them even has a double sided head, with a normal and a scared expression. This one is my favourite, although not particularly dwarf-like, I think it stands out and has that “bring it on” look that a battle dwarf should have. There are two beard types (in black, red(?) and dark brown) and two torso types in the set, I really like the one with the red arms, we get it twice. None of the torso’s have back prints. Front beard And Back beard Quality The overall quality is good; printing is spot on and all the arms work properly. The only gripe I have is with the plastic, it looks (but does not feel) softer than the usual plastic, it is also a bit more matte than that of other minifigs. There’s no neck print and the dwarfs have stamped arms. Conclusion I must say that I am very happy I bought this set; the dwarfs are already enjoying the ale at the medieval market village and will do so until I take that one apart. It loses points for the plastic issues, but gains some for the different faces (that are noticeable, even while half hidden by great, big, bushy beards). I can’t really say anything about value for money because I bought this at a higher price than the srp. Although the box looks nice, I would have preferred an old fashioned cardboard box with loose parts so there would be something to build. But if this is the only way to get lots of dwarfs, so be it. Would I recommend this set to others? HELL YEAH! Gallery with high-res pics (when public): Clicky Thank you for reading this review! Please give me feedback about the way I review, I'm not shure about the layout (text above pics) so tell me what you think.

    Batman's Mask Comparison

    Really? That's awesome! Sorry for posting old news.

    Batman's Mask Comparison

    It looks like the new cowl just got a lot less exclusive... I got one with the Two Face chase set and the eyes align perfectly with one side of the head, but the grinning one still shows a bit of the black lining. Don't know if this only counts for Europe or if they will ship the new cowl in US sets from now aswell.

    Iiiew.. that doesn't look too good.. But if you give Lego a call and explain what's wrong with the piece, I'm shure they will replace it for you.
