Am I the only one? I'm transgendered (want to be a woman but stuck in a man's body) and I'm pretty much bisexual, although I lean toward lesbian.

Then again, this board seems pretty hostile to me. I got a post deleted regarding being transsexual! Why do admins have to delete posts at all? On the boards I posted at in my youth, they'd just shove the unwanted posts into an archive...

Done. I've been to Canada many times and I just think it's better. - Healthcare for all! I'm poor and underemployed, so it's important to me. - Same-sex marriages are allowed - Canada has beautiful cities like Toronto and Montréal, not pits like Detroit (yeah, I know every city has bad areas, but with Detroit like the whole city is the bad area except downtown and around Wayne State) - Easier to deal with the money. In the USA, they're all green, so I have to look at the numbers in the weird stylized 19th-century type. Also, it has "In God We Trust" in the USA and I'm not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. - Canada uses the metric system. Here, it's like people are proud not to know it, and they'd rather divide by 5280 to convert miles into feet. And yes, I do like winter...I could never live in Florida or Arizona, etc. It's like living in an oven.

Does anyone other than me rhyme "Mega Bloks" with "spokes"? I do a similar thing with other words that normally have CK and the C was left out, like Nintendo's "Game Paks". To me, the C is what makes the O or A short. I have some, mostly in weird colours (a lot in Army green from a tank my dad got me). I usually don't use them, but I have an area called "Ogelon" for non-Lego parts. The name is from "No Lego" backwards.

This was one of my earliest Castle sets. I didn't get many because I got more into Pirates and such... It's a nice little set though, with a rare part (the ghost shroud). The doors and hinges are also quite useful, and it comes with a knight on a horse! Lego horses seem somewhat rarer these days...

Me, I don't have the requisite brick. It amazes me how people amass huge quantities of a particular non-mundane brick type, like tall slopes, tiles, or just about anything green or brown. I'm guessing Bricklink. I just placed my second Bricklink order ever recently. (Edit: Sorry, I thought it was tiles before, although it still applies to me for the green and brown) Excellent little MOC! Is that a sprue? I guess I'm not the only one who uses those...I like the tree and foliage too. I want to make a tree like that...

I live near Detroit, but I wish I was Canadian. The USA is overrated.

One thing I don't like is when people make every store name possessive. Kmart's, Best Buy's, Target's, etc. That's really common around here (I'm a short distance outside of Detroit). Speaking of possessives, I don't like when people use apostrophes for plurals, like tomato's or market's, etc. I've even seen that in German, which doesn't even use the apostrophe in possessives.

It's not something I would do, but it seems cool. Don't try to build something that comes in multiple bags in-bag! LOL

I highly doubt Lego'll do this, but I want that ponytail piece in green, for a Terra Branford minifig. (that's my avatar)

This set is out already? I want it I want it I want it! LOL. Finally Lego makes a civilian set in the Castle line. Hopefully it sells well enough for Lego to get the message that we want civilian sets!

You should have allowed more than one option... Lego Website - Yes, particularly for hard-to-find or S@H-exclusive stuff Local store - Yes, if I can find it, Sometimes, they're cheaper than shop.lego.com too. w00t! Only Lego store - No, there are no Lego stores in Michigan. When I was in Germany for studying, I did get some stuff at Legoland (I was in Ulm, the nearest city over 100k people to Günzburg). ebaY - Nah, I don't like bidding. I don't make much money here in the Land of Unemployment, so I want to know how much I'll be paying. Amazon - They sell Lego stuff? Bricklink - I recently placed my first order.

Español. It has the letter ñ in it. Excellent MOC though. Nice use of SNOT, and the minifig hand farm is funny.

OK, I'm in...

I have a few black bows and quivers from Native American sets, which I might use to equip Castle figs.

Maybe when I'm out of school and have a decent job...and live someplace closer to Denmark than Detroit is. LOL

Those could be some huge tabletop RPG dice.

Ya know, in some countries (such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, and Japan), the steering wheel is on the right because people drive on the left side of the road.

So, if you build a replica of another person's MOC, would it be a SEC (Somebody Else's Creation)?

Extra accessories are always good to have! I remember the recent Castle sets (the only Lego sets I've purchased post-Dark Age except the Holiday Train Collection or whatever has been Castle, but that may change when Pirates become available here) had a lot of extra elements in them. In the old days, usually it'd just be like a couple of extra 1*1 round plates...

Ooh, a female pirate! I never had the female "wench" fig from the old Pirate line... Looks like an awesome design with some excellent parts, good for my Legoverse (mostly Castle, but with a pirate faction).

Before I had the King's Castle Siege, I used the wall/gate from Skeleton Ship Attack diagonally between a cabinet and a wall to make a "castle" for Lego play. Who says AFOLs don't play with their Lego?

Disassemble both and create a new castle from some of the parts? Worked for me...(well, not quite, as I apparently need many more grey parts to make a castle as big as the one I wanted)

I've usually just thrown them away. It's not I build with the box, and I'm only in a one-bedroom apartment so I don't want to use up the space.

Yeah, I've noticed a baseplate scarcity in general...I don't think there was even one in the entire new Castle line, for instance.
