    What did you buy today?

    Don't you find the Ninjago booster packs too expensive for what you get in them? I'm staying away from them for that reason!

    What did you buy today?

    I bought 4 Series 6 CMF's. I had originally only bought two (at Wal-Mart). However, I was at Coles picking up a graphic novel and spotted CMF's at 20% off so I bought two more. I got: A Celtic Warrior A Bandit Two Genies I was really hoping for an Intergalactic Girl, I need that hair for something I'm working on.

    Good thing your mom doesn't open those orders or I get the feeling you'd get a lecture!

    MCW Indexes Discussion Topic

    I was thinking about using some of the decals in the index so I read the tutorial on printing decals. I had no trouble using Word to get Luxorv's decals to print in the right size. However, I could NOT make any of Severus's decals print at the right size. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone help me?

    What did you buy today?

    I wouldn't call how I buy Friends sets weakening. I use them as parts packs and get rid of the mini dolls. (Not throwing them out, selling them and trading them for useful minifigs.) But... If YOU buy them to build the sets... That might be weakining. To each his own, I guess!
  8. Great! Everybody get ready for Mechanic's Garage v.2.0! I'll update it today or tomorrow.
  9. Thanks for all the great advice! I really want to take your advice to improve my entry. Am I allowed to change it after it's been posted? I thought there would be a rule against it but if there isn't I'll update it later today or tomorrow.

    PAB Cups: What Did You Get?

    I always THOUGHT Lego was the best company ever...now I KNOW they are!
  12. Spielburg can't make bad movies and The Penguin can't make bad customs! Like always, I love it! What are you using for his jacket/trenchcoat thing? I'm working on my first custom, and I hope to someday be as good as you!

    PAB Cups: What Did You Get?

    Yet ANOTHER reason to wish I had a Lego store closer than 3 hours away.

    Have you ever bought LEGO in "secret"?

    I just went and checked all my pockets in the hopes of a "discovery". No luck, but I'll be off to the store later today to pick up some Lego! That sounds pretty good, although I'd rather have a partner who shares the Lego hobby.

    PAB Cups: What Did You Get?

    And the LEGO store workers are fine with all of this? Cramming in pieces until the cup is overflowing and taping the lid on?
  16. Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply, I'm off to design my entry now!
  17. I don't know if it's been discussed already, but I've got a question. I know the rules state that you can't use any of the new minifigs or their accessories. What if their accessories aren't new, or come in different colours? Then is it ok to use them? What I'm basically asking is, can I use old colours of the new minifigs accessories in my entry? Thanks.

    Sand green legs?

    Hi! I have NO IDEA where to post this, but since it relates to custom minifigs, I thought here would be an alright place. Mods, feel free to move it if I'm wrong. So, I'm working on a custom minifig. The thing is, I need a pair of sand green legs. I have NONE of these. Can anyone provide me with a list of all the minifigs that have sand green legs? Thanks!

    Have you ever bought LEGO in "secret"?

    You're so right. You can fit, what, two? Three? Minifigs in one pocket of your jeans easy. Multiply that by 4 pockets and add shirt and jacket pockets, and you've got a lot of minifigs snuck into your house.

    Sand green legs?

    Thank you. You are COMPLETELY right. I feel stupid for making a topic about this now. Sorry everybody.

    LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

    I really can't say I like Loki's helmet. I just don't like it! I know it's accurate but there's just SOMETHING about it that I can't like. It seems a bit too...rubbery. There are some pieces that I can handle in rubber, but that's not one of them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they make it in ABS plastic and that it looks better in real life than it does in the pictures.

    Which set should I buy?

    The main selling point for ME was the minifigs.

    Which set should I buy?

    Thanks. I think that's what I'll go with. All the characters in the Superheroes set are important, main characters, VS most of the characters in the SW set being fairly generic and uninteresting characters. Maybe I'll get on Bricklink someday if I feel the need for a Commander Gree.

    You sir, are one of the luckiest men alive. Good luck turning her into an AFOL! Someday I'm going to find a girl who supports my addiction! (And hopefully she'll also use LEGO too!)

    Which set should I buy?

    O Wise LEGO Masters of Eurobricks, I have a question. I need to decide between 6862 Superman vs. Power Armour Lexand 9491 Geonosian Cannon. The price doesn't tip the scale for either set, they are both $25 here. Thanks!
