Someone else slightly more knowledgable on the subject might well disagree but with Star Wars music you should generally be okay
!Funny, I was wondering about that earlier this evening. How about music from the Batman movies?
-
I would have to recommend picnik. That's what I use. (Unfortunately it's shutting down in a couple of months) but you can use it until then!
-
I haven't heard about that one yet. I can't wait to see the exclusive minifigure that comes with it!
NIGHTWING NIGHTWING NIGHTWING!!! Well, a guy can dream, can't he?
-
No comment. Just in case my wife stumbles across this site.
Well, you ARE a "wife moderated LEGO nut"
-
When I arrived home, here's how the converstation went:
Me: Hi, how was your trip? Sorry you had to wait for me to get home.
Wife: Why are there so many LEGO sets in the garage?
Me: There aren't that many in there.
Wife: I counted 30 and stopped. Those were big boxes too.
Me: I bought them all on sale. They're all future gifts.
She didn't say anything else but gave me the "Yeah right" look.
Someone will be in the doghouse!
I don't buy Lego, just "car parts". Unless someone shakes the box, no attention is payed... Just got to make sure I get home first when the bank statement comes in though
Sneaky, sneaky. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I smuggle them into the house
You haven't been discovered yet?
Another question, what's your opinion on the ethics of buying Lego in secret?
-
of course, if my wife found out what i really spend on Lego...well let us not go there.
I'm sure we all spend too much on Lego! Oh well, let's hope YOU do the banking instead of your wife!
-
Thank you, if the US version of the site became more popular I'd definitely be interested in country specific versions, but because the traffic is currently so low it's difficult to justify the effort unfortunately.
I would definitely use this site if you had a version for Canada.
-
Very nice! If TLG doesn't make their own version of this with the new Marvel sets (or if their version isn't this great) I'll have to be using this!
-
Have you ever bought LEGO in "secret"? For example, your parent or partner forbid you from buying more LEGO so you did it anyway without them knowing.
I've bought minifigs while conviently "forgetting" to mention the purchases. And it looks like you guys hide your purchases from your wives all the time!
Share your experiences/stories!

All I can say about these decals is wow! They're done very well! I never owned the Yellow Castle set though, I guess I was too young.
-
The past two days have been awesome for me! Yesterday I bought 6858 Catwoman Catcyle City Chase and Catwoman is now my new favourite official LEGO minifig! Today I picked up two Series 6 CMF packets. I got the Bandit and Lady Liberty.
-
Nice, but doesn't this belong in the Minifig Customization Workshop?
-
Dang...still none within a 4 hour drive
Oh well, maybe more new ones will start popping up.
-
There are three in Canada, with a fourth scheduled to open in the next few months...
Really? Where are the three? And where will the fourth one be?
-
I wonder if reading this topic influenced my dreams, because yesterday I read it and last night I dreamt of LEGO!
I had a dream of a re-release of an Arkham Asylum set. The buildings were more menacing and the minifigs were definitely darker and scarier. I remember looking at a display of the set and the lady displaying it gave me a Riddler fig, free of charge! Unfortunately, I woke up, and no Riddler fig. Oh well, I DO have a Catwoman set to go build!
-
Apologies for this question, but I'm a bit confused. Is this supposed to used as a waterside decal? If so, I like it! Maybe another version would be nice though. A version with a minifig version of the president!
-
Nice update! The shape of the vehicle is more realistic now, and I like the handlebars. Can't wait for Version 3.0 with DK Blue! (Assuming there will be one)
-
Lego stores only exist in five countries world-wide (US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Denmark), and US is the single most lucky one... :)
And even in the four countries other than the US, there's hardly any LEGO stores!
TWO in Canada!! Sixty-four in the US and Canada gets two? -
Cool! Just wondering, would it fit in with minifigs well, or is it completely out of scale? There's a minifig on the box, so I don't know...
-
I just watched the whole video, and I love it. Again, I have to say how smooth the transitions are. Also, everything is done so creatively. Great job!
-
I would, but I don't have some of the pieces that I need in DK Blue
I see. Well, maybe someday you can change it. Do you ever order off of Bricklink? (I'm not telling you to, because I hardly do. Just wondering)
-
Very accurate to the "real" version. If I could suggest one thing, it would be to change the blue pieces to dark blue. Other than that, I absolutely love it!
-
That's unlikely as the next wave will probably be DC again
*hoping the next wave brings Nightwing minifig* NIGHTWING NIGHTWING NIGHTWING!!!
-
Well everybody, guess what? I'm no longer a purist!
I just wanted to say that I tried to remove the printings with an eraser (any kind of eraser works) and the endresult is great, no scratched plastic and no printing, its pretty time consuming but it works, the safest and easiest method ever.
This works! I tried it and it didn't take TOO too long, about 5-10 minutes.
I put some toothpaste on a rag and rubbed the minifig head over it. Was done in seconds and no scratches.
I also tried this and it didn't work. However, I wasn't trying on a head. I was taking the printing off a torso. Oh well, the eraser works so I'll use that!

It took me less than 5 seconds to decide MY favourite. The Scottish Bagpiper all the way! I am a HUGE music lover and I love all the instrument pieces LEGO made. I NEED to get those bagpipes! (If the Scottish Bagpiper wasn't there, it would be the female rockstar and then the teacher.)
