    Hello! Thanks for looking at my MOC topic :) This is my first MOC in a long time (a year or so), as well as the first posted on the internet.

    And before you look, I will warn you: blurry pics ahead! (didn't have my good camera with me... :/ )

    This is the (very) packed court room. The prosecution (Gibbs), is sporting a "bride of Frankenstein" look. There's a medic on the witness stand, and the judge is wearing an old army uniform for some reason (I'd like to say that it's a Calvary uniform from the old western line? correct me if I'm wrong)

    This next pic is just the blank court room, without figs. I like the wooden look. Originally the whole thing was snotted brown, but I decided it was too monocoloured.

    The next image is a frontal view of the second interior, an office. I personally, like the arch I made in this. It reminds me of something out of the castle line.

    Finally, we have a close up of the office. The walls are made out of 4x1 log pieces. The back is made out of 2 types of glass bricks, one (the one nearer the top), I haven't seen in any sets except the old promotional HP knight bus set, although the pieces were smaller. Have they appeared in any recent sets? Note the dragons on the desk, along with computer and keyboard. (which set are the dragons from?) Again, it's snoteed.

    I hope you liked it! comments and crits appreciated!

    A snow ball launcher of course. :grin:

    WHY do we need another snowball launcher? It seems like lego must have a snowball launcher fetish or something, they've been in quite a few sets...

    I have just seen a possible 2013 LEGO City minifig in the advert for LEGO City: Undercover game for Wii U. Here he is:

    Now all we need is that fig in fleshie, and It'd go perfect with the Gordon fig we're getting in Marvel in '13.

    Here are some pictures of what I have done for my police force.

    That's Awesome. Seriously. Reminds me of a old MOC Yoda made... I'd LOVE if lego did a SWAT type thing, maybe giving them all handcuffs instead of guns?

    and on the subject of a museum: AFOL's are too spoiled to even think that a new museum in the style of CC/TH would be made by lego. AFOLs have made MUCH better museums anyway. It's too expencive for what we want, vs what Lego could make.

    Hello. A community project is where all the people involve agree to make the same movie- only 2 have finished- the day brickfilms.com crashed- and cleaning time. I hope to be the third.

    I DO PRESENT: POT-HEADS

    It's the story of 2 people- a guy and his girl; who must crash Justin Bieber's wedding to Taylor swift in New Hampshire; so they don't amek little Twibieber babies! Along the way they meet crazy highlighters (twilighters), greenspan (GREENDAY), EB-SPAM (C-SPAN), a man with a large bucket, lego conventioneers, and even gangsetrs! (and more.) They get to New Hampshire- and crash the wedding- doesn't work. So they crash the reception- doesn't work. So they get up on stage and sing. Then they fight. The boy falls in love with Taylor swift; the girl with our canadian Meatloaf wanna-be. The movie ends.

    INFO:

    I have divided this up into phases.

    -PHASE 1: pre-production- sign ups; script is written.

    -PHASE 2: production- sets are built. The animation is done.

    PHASE 3: post-production- Voices are done. effects are added to film.

    PHASE 4: editing and release- the editing is done. And finally the film is released.

    We are on phase 1. I need people to do the following things:

    -PLAN SETS

    -BUILD SETS\ANIMATE

    -EDIT

    -VOICES

    -EDIT SCRIPT

    -MAKE GRAPHICS

    -PROMOTE

    And prob other things.

    A casting call will go out later- but they include:

    - Frank

    -Gretta

    -Justin

    -Taylor

    -Priest

    -GPS

    -news man

    -singer

    -lego conventioneers

    -crazy highlighters

    -random extras

    -wedding guests

    -TAAB

    -Revmen

    -Canadian mounties

    -American police

    -security

    -Meatloaf

    (I think more)

    so sing up to do something!

    Hi,

    I actually heard similar things, i.e. that they aren't shipping any NXT boxes to the stores, but the reason was different:

    "They decided to start selling them directly off their online store"

    This was from a LEGO employee at a USA (Philadelphia) store.

    I don't think NXT 3.0 is coming out, NXT 2.0 is quite "new" and they would probably wait for FLL to end (end of March) before announcing a new model - as it might create confusion and problems for the judges - assuming NXT 3.0 is better than NXT 2.0 (otherwise why release it?)

    Thanks,

    Noam

    Interesting you've herd similar things- only selling them on S@H could be a nightmare for some newer FLL chapters...

    Wonder if they'll have like when the NXT first came out- you can use it until the end of the year- and then you can never use it again?

    Have not heard a thing since then- so IDK what to believe LOL

    I was in a lego store a few months ago with my brother and parents; and we were talking to this employee; and my dad asked him

    "Excuse me- why are there no NXT's here?"

    "they stopped making them 2 days ago" (it must have been a few months since then)

    "why?"

    "they're replacing them with the new 3.0."

    "that's odd.. since they only had been out for a few years and RCX had been out for much longer"

    (we had done the FLL for a few years)

    So- i thought that was interesting- and wondered if any of you knew anything about it?

    With warm bricks in my heart,

    MATT

    PS: happy thanksgiving to all you Americans!

    The most important thing is that you do things you like to do, like snogging your GF

    what do making out with babes got to do with LEGO?

    unless you are amking out with a lego babe, or you play with lego while you make out...

    ON TOPIC:

    dark ages do not matter, only that you come back at the end.

    1) Why are you following Snowbox Derby 2008?

    like, it's totally wacked up man!

    2) Are you also rooting for the American Team?

    yes, but no. I live in the US, but me roots for all, and all root for no one

    3) If yes, why; if no, who are you rooting for?

    I'm an american; i want the staff to win... stupid fellows can't find a way to get out of my city...

    4) There seems to be some issue between TheBrickster and Mr. Mandalorian. Who of these two individuals are you rooting for? / Why?

    brickster. He posts much better stuff... and his sig-fig is a ghost.

    5) What would you like to say to your favorite Snow Box Fellow or Staff member?

    good luck and may god save you all from death this holiday season as we watch you win... or loose at the hands of your fellow man! :laugh:
