    Lalandia accomodations would be fine, for me. Never stayed there before.

    Lego Ideas 90th Anniversary Fan Vote

    I agree... "castle" ruined Space's chance to win this thing... still, didn't they say, they would not necessarily do a set of the winning series? they can choose whatever they want out of these four candidates?

    Fragile Classic Space sets?

    Actually, you're right... I have the same problem with the lego bricks of late 70's to mid 80's. Especially the sides of plates easily break. Be very careful

    Lego Ideas 90th Anniversary Fan Vote

    I'm thinking it's political. Cowboys... Indians... hmmm... I don't see Lego coming out of that as a winner... remember the Osprey helicopter, a couple of months ago? The set was hardly released when consumer groups made such a fuss about it that Lego almost immediately redrew the set. I think they learned their lesson... but then... I didn't see Insectoids and UFO either... or maybe that would 've been "space overkill"... anyway, hoping for classic space keeping fingers crossed... because... with Lego... ... you really never know...... ... still, it would be awesome to get an "expert" 18+ set with a black cover and a blue-grey spaceship... still... even when Classic space wins and gets a set... I can see Lego doing something stupid... like creating a white colored space base and trans green canopies or whatever...

    Lego Ideas 90th Anniversary Fan Vote

    well i voted for classic space, blacktron, M-tron. First, i feel you should pick a "heavy weight", not just a theme that lasted for one year and didn't make any impression at the time. Second, we've seen several sets of pirates in the last 20 years. I really don't think Lego should use this format to produce yet another Pirate set. Then "Castle"... you know, if Lego were to release a "UCS castle set" of 300 euro with at least two classic factions, sure, i'd be happy and buy it... however, you can use the "ideas" format to do the same. In fact, they just released a "blacksmith"... so... ... i think it's time to get Space in the picture. Space never sold really well, it was never the most popular theme, in fact, that still seems to be the case, even though the classic space dude has become a cult minifig... But, i think many older fans are dreaming of a Galaxy Explorer 'reboot'... just for once, as a salute to the old theme. We also have not seen any reboot of blacktron 1 and M-tron for decades... A shame as well... so i voted for those three. However, I'm guessing hoping it's gonna be Classic space, Adventures and Castle (whatever theme). sne

    10278 Police Station

    it's great to finally have a police station for Afols, after so many decades love it! gotta have it! i do think it's a shame though, not to have a tiled floor on the first floor

    THE PIRATE BAY IS GOING TO BE AN OFFICIAL LEGO SET!!!!

    It looks like a great set, even though this is quit different from the initial ideas MOC. That's why I'm a bit disappointed. On the other hand, the entire concept is brilliant! , unfortunately also quit expensive. I'll buy it, out of nostalgia, no doubt
  8. hmmm... it won't be over, but I guess the climax will be over by then. In any case, i'm not going to book my flight untill later on.
  9. ah yes, towels and stuff, i need too... right? ... yeah... kinda need those too...
  10. hey Doc! i'd like to share that 8 plus room too, if there's still room :-) sne

    [PRESS RELEASE] 21318 LEGO® Ideas Tree House

    I think this is a great set however, the tree itself, needs some extra branches and leaves, IMO.

    Pirate Figures and Set Names

    i was browsing thru my 1990 catalog when my eye caught this pirate fortress called Eldorado... However, the text underneath the set didn't mention Eldorado at all... Instead, it said "Koningsburg", translated in English that's "King's keep"; for the french speaking public in Belgium it's "Mont Royal", which is the French translation for the Dutch title... It's weird tho, because "Eldorado" is a well known name in these parts of the country... the Barracuda pirate ship doesn't exist in Belgium either. It's "Norse Haai", or, "Bad-tempered Shark" ... So i was just wondering what the official titles of these sets are in the rest of the world...
  14. Sorry to say that I can't make it. I was checking out prices for transport and they're a bit too high for me, for the moment. But I guess I'll see youu all next year inBillund
  15. it looks really great. it looks like the real thing, nicely detailed, great colors... i will get one
  16. I'd like to come too, just not sure how to get there, without a car ah yes, need to check with work as well... and do I even have enough money... hmmm... good question... I'll let you guys know...

    10264 Corner Garage

    hmmmm... not so fond of this set, really... quite disappointed, even. it just doesn't look as great as previous modular buildings
  18. looooove the classic space dudes aaaaand a new color too gotta get me a couple of these
  19. yes, that brings up a lot of memories. Lego-wise, 1979 - 1983 was more or less my "golden era". I also still have several comic books with Lego commercials like the ones you're showing here. I guess Lego was pulling out every penny it had to turn the Minifig-lego sets into a smashing success.

    Review 60198 Cargo Train (picture heavy!)

    great review! i have no doubt that this is an interesting set with lots of playability and building fun. the design is great too. unfortunately, this is what you get with every cargo train: a locomotive, and a couple of different coaches. what I would like to see is a cargo train with three or four coaches of the same type, and not these open flatbeds but coaches to transport coal or something...

    10261 LEGO Creator Expert Roller Coaster

    this is brilliant i want one I do think an extra building would have made it even better though. now it seems a bit too easy, imo, lots of pilars and very small buildings. building this set doesn't look all that exciting or challenging, IMO
  23. thanks for a great review I wasn't so much into this set at first, but when I saw a "speed build" on youtube, I got really excited about it. I especially like the alternative version, the buggy. I also feel that this set looks more realistic than other lego technic sets. Hope we get more like this in the future ... ah yes... and I like these black liftarms. I'll have a gazillion of those, please
