Should I buy this (discontinued) Harry Potter set for this price?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to MattieG7's topic in Community
Did you get it? -
Not sure weather this is the appropriate place, but, is their any purist head similar to this alien from Star Trek? http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100201232045/memoryalpha/en/images/thumb/b/bb/Ikatika.jpg/292px-Ikatika.jpg Preferably cheap and easily available. Any help would be great!

I'm never ordering from Amazon again!
Dr Leg O Brick replied to MrZ's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I've ordered fifty plus Lego sets from Amazon and, not only did they arrive much faster than I thought (one working day in three cases), they arrived fine bar one dented corner (I got the set 50% off, so I didn't mind). Guess I live near a distribution centre... -
Hello! Where applicable, I will add credit to those I got my ideas from, some might be similar to some around, and for that I apologise. I came under fire here on EB awhile back now, where it was said I hadn't contributed much and I was primarily a collector and all I was doing was sitting on my rear adding nothing. Although that was all cleared up, it stuck with me, so, since then, I've been less active here and I've been spending my time taking photos of my customs/MOCs/MODs. Be kind on me, some of these I made after I came out of hospital, using a bucket of spares, a pair of scissors, some felt tip pens, Crayola crayons, comic pricing stickers and some "reference material", some of them might be a bit dodgy in other words. So, enough of my life story, most will be Marvel, I might have an odd DC/2000AD later on. So without further ado, here's the pics, feedback would be great if you have any: Cyclops (90s) Cyclops Thunderbird Nightcrawler Banshee Gambit (Idea from EB's Purist Superhero customs thread) Cable Bishop Professor X A side view of my Lego Professor X mini figure. A mini figure can push the wheelchair along... ...although I wouldn't trust Psycho-lops behind you the way he is in the comics nowadays. Angel Cannonball Jean Grey Sunspot Lots more to come soon!

Town/City MOC's/MOD's by Dr Leg O Brick
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in LEGO Town
Glad you like the Fire Tender LT! I'm tempted to post another but I'm going to try to stick to my schedule. I'd also like advise from everybody, I've made some 100+ civilians for my town, some interesting people in the crazy sort of way, do you think I should post them? Or would be people like to see them? And if so, where would the topic go? The Town or The Customization Workshop forum? -
Dr Leg O'Brick's Superhero Customs
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
So, I'm back, kind of. I got a flu virus for the last four weeks or so, not to mention other stuff going on, so I'm afraid new customs may be a bit longer, though I'll make an effort to get some done and post them. In the mean time, I got these stickers on the internet, if you'd like more info on them don't hesitate to PM me, I'm usually around. Just to say, 100% credit goes to the designers for the torso and head stickers, except for Shaman, I kept the official head I've been using. All new Alpha Flight (Aurora, Northstar and Sasquatch still exist, I just felt it was unnecessary to take a photo after I only recently took one, plus, they didn't fit!) Left to right, Marrina, Diamond Lil, Guardian, Vindicator, Puck, Shaman, Snowbird And a back view. Enjoy -
Any Gerry Anderson fans here?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in Culture & Multimedia
Terrible news today, Francis Matthews, the man who voiced Captain Scarlet, passed away aged 86. A link to the BBC news article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27859814 Rik Mayall, Sam Kelly, and now Francis Matthews, so many people recently have passed away I've held in high regard, you will all be missed, rest in peace. -
Town/City MOC's/MOD's by Dr Leg O Brick
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in LEGO Town
Thanks LT! I've had a go at making it smaller, and it looks better, I'll post pics soon. Well, seems like I broke my own rule again! My plan is to post something every Friday/Saturday/Sunday, so hopefully I'll stick to that! As I realise classic town isn't everyone's cup of tea, I've got something City based. I got 7208 Fire Station ages back from a friend for Christmas, I've MODed the building itself since, but more so the Fire Tender. Getting in through the roof? No controls for the ladder or the fire hose? It, personally, was asking to be ripped to bits and rebuilt, so here's the results. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are all welcome, oh, and sorry about my "studio", it fell to bits after fifteen shots so it looks a bit dishevelled. Without further ado, A front-ish view, I added a side door, rearranged the parts on the bottom at the back, and added a handle bar for minifig safety. A side view. Fire officer Redshirt demonstrates the door. You can see the equipment inside a bit. The other side, note the nozzle controls. The inside, more controls and a couple of cheese slopes to illustrate a dashboard. Nothing fancy, also a TV screen is located under the white panelling for up to date info on blazing infernos. A parting shot of some intrepid Fire redshirts officers next to the tender. Enjoy! -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Dr Leg O Brick replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
Faefrost, though I've never bought an Star Wars UCS set, nor am I likely to in the future, I got a similar feeling when I built the Imperial Flagship. I sat down from eight in the morning till four in the evening, and savoured building it. Probably the best build I've experienced, and when I built it, though a supreme sense of pride filled me (my first and only D2C set currently), there was a small part of me that regretted that I'd never build it again. The PR looks superb, I've seen and handled a Market Street, Green Grocer, and a Café Corner, and I've nearly bought the Town Hall and Palace Cinema, but when I saw PR, I knew I had to buy it. Looks like it may be by Christmas, but it will be mine! Thanks for the clarification, I was in a mini dark age due to events out of my control when this topic was made, so I've found it and read it and then kind of got it confused in my head with other sites, I couldn't remember what rumour was what! -
Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
Dr Leg O Brick replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
I've got to say, I'm on the verge of buying the Parisian Restaurant, but if they made a detective agency....I may have to buy that too! Damn I'm hooked, "Crackular Buildings" I thinks a better term for them, and I haven't even bought one yet! I really enjoy the Dixon Hill episodes of Star Trek TNG, and after making Dixon out of Lego it'd be great to give him a home. I get the feeling I'm trying to make excuses to myself to buy it, and it isn't even confirmed... Has there ever been a rumour of a Modular that's been wrong? I remember talk about a Police Station and a Post Office, but I'm not sure. -
MOC: Arkham Asylum; Relative Insanity
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
Words cannot describe how stunning this is! You've really captured the craziness and insanity of Arkham's usual residents, the detail on this is just crazy, unbelievably mind blowingly superb. If I could afford a plane ticket, I'd be on my way to Chicago to see Brickworld. Good luck, I hope this is front paged. -
What Lego-related thing did you do today?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Savage Oppress's topic in Community
Rebuilt my city from the ground up, went to sort 38 unsorted containers and gave up immediately, and rebuilt a castle tower. -
I quite like it! I'd agree with some others over the fact it's not symmetrical, but hell, most buildings near me aren't symmetrical after years of renovation and decline and repair and demolition. I do like the tunnel though, with all the fire vehicles Lego make, you'd think the fire service would need a spot at the back for some, or to wash or repair the current fire fighting equipment. I don't own the original, so I'm no expert, but to me the tunnel and the window look like an extension of the original, if you look at the front only. As others have said I'd say to improve perhaps an attempt to make it look more uniform or something like that would be good, though ultimately I'd go with what you feel is best. Either way, I look forward to seeing the interior!
-
Wow! Really impressed by both, I echo previous comments by saying I'd love to see a truck/car to tow these, not to mention the whole trailer park! I personally like the purple, something different about it that makes it look unique, those windows in particular look appropriate for a caravan. Great work as always eurotrash, I eagerly await more!

Does alcohol help or hinder your creative process?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to legoman19892's topic in Community
It depends which alcoholic beverage we're looking at. Whisky and Brandy tends to increase my concentration whereas rum for example turns me into a blithering idiot. Wine, larger, beer and anything else you can throw at me has varied results. -
I've been using XL grey plates due to price and availability (I started using these in 2009/10). Back then I didn't have many buildings, so it was the best thing. Now it's a pain in the rear, and is actually hampering my building currently, though I'm after the 90s style roadplates on eBay.

I'm Irish and live near Birmingham, UK, though I don't like to be more specific due to fear of EB paratroopers privacy.

Any pics or links for Classic Town/City layouts?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Artifex's topic in LEGO Town
Hi, I found the old town layout index: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=62405 Lot's feature modulars but a few are either Town or a cross between Town and City. EDIT: mawich's city Brickshelf gallery, not in the link above, made of Town sets from 1978 to about 2000 plus a few MOCs: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=410928 -
Star Trek DS9 Customs
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Thanks Rinzler, and sorry for the late reply! I've been looking infrequently on eBay to see if anyone has spare minimate parts, particularly weapons, for any Cardassians, Klingons, Romulans etc. So far, I've made: More redshirts for a (hopefully) upcoming DS9 MOC Sloan Weyoun A Mek'leh blade for Worf Half way through making Dukat, the female changeling, and Winn, and I'm looking at perhaps making Keiko, Eddington, and, though I currently don't have the parts, the crew from Far Beyond The Stars. If Dukat's successful, I'd love to try making Tain and Dumar as well. Beyond DS9, it's possible I may branch out to TOS and Voyager, but before hand I'd like to expand my TNG stuff, as I've found a great hair piece for Shelby. -
6397 Gas N' Wash Express, the first petrol station I've bought, and a damn good one I might add! Waited since 2008 to get a good deal on this one, and well, I bit the bullet and paid more than I thought I should've, though now I realise I would've paid double for it had I realised how good it really is!.

Eurobricks Fourms Funny Comments and Moments
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Toby Adams's topic in Community
I was browsing the various forums one night when I happened upon an interesting comment from user Panthro in "The Simpsons 2014 Rumors & Discussion" on 20th May 2014, "Toys R Us, Worlds Apart and Forbidden Planet (I think) have them too. I had a good feeling session with a member of staff in the Liverpool Lego Store in order to secure Itchy and Scratchy." The first part's perfectly fine, but the second made me spray coffee across my keyboard. Perhaps a no-prize award is in order for "most dedication in finding Itchy and Scratchy by an AFOL" or something akin to that. -
What was the last movie you watched?
Dr Leg O Brick replied to EbonHawk's topic in Culture & Multimedia
Groundhog day. Never gets old, must have watched it a hundred times and it's always enjoyable, one of my favourite films, though I've noticed the marmalade effect with it. You either really love it, or really hate it. -
Brainiac perhaps in that picture?

Town/City MOC's/MOD's by Dr Leg O Brick
Dr Leg O Brick replied to Dr Leg O Brick's topic in LEGO Town
Thanks greg3 and LT! LT, glad you like it! Any suggestions on how to improve it? greg3, glad you like them, and I know what you mean! I've really been in a classic town frame of mind the last few weeks (after getting a whole heap of classic sets) so lots more in that style! I've had flu all week so I've been busy building stuff, so up next, a few jeeps, a classic four wide convertible, MODed Fire Stations, a merged classic Exxon fuel tanker, plus a few other things.
