  1. My first entry for a contest on BrickPirate. A sort of ABS challenge, where 4 contestants have to build as much as possible with mandatory themes or parts. Visiting the Raven God shrine by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr
  2. The update didn't took that long, but just to be sure, I left my phone alone and watched a movie or something like this. Usually when I got back, the update was done For me the correct procedure was to have the app in its latest version. The brick updated, and everything is running smooth since then!

    [MOC] Visiting the Raven God shrine

    The mandatory part was the spiky one on the beek and the top of the staff. And yes the whole body is held by one stud... and the staff.
  4. Be sure to run the latest version of the app, and then let the brick update itself (when clicking "start the engine"). I sometime started the update and came back few hours later...
  5. I had the same problem, and I think it was due to a problem with the app version and the brick software not updated.... Anyway it was resolved after (many) updates of both the app and the brick.

    Not for Category D. And I'm not sure a giant zombie fits the theme of minifigs raising from the deads. Only if the support vehicle can be part of a main vehicle. Like a motorbike that can be detached from a truck body. There's no restriction regarding theme or era, so yes!

    [MOCs] Speeder Bikes for LSB contest

    A bit late, but here are my entries for the LSB contest on Flickr. I choose to create 3 speeder bikes around the same motor core, piloted by 3 members of the same family. Thomas Hendricks inventing his repulsor engine... ... and piloting his Bison Speeder Bike years later during the Vastlan Cross race. Thomas' son Paul and his Firebird in the Overkill Oval arena. Paul's daughter Maya piloting her Pixie speeder Bike during a Nightline City race. Three generations of mechanics...

    [MOC] Heavy Fighter

    A little MOC I did for the Battle Of Pirates on BrickPirates! I'm not satisfied by some details, so I might make an updated version when the contest ends.

    contest Braaiiinnss!!! Sci-Fi Contest

    You can use any heads that you see fit, it doesn't have to be grey. Current Nexo Knight sets have nice bluish heads that could be used. You could even go yellow vs fllesh I assume you're talking about Category D? No background is required, but you can add one. But note that only the figs will be considered for the voting. That's a choice we have to do for every contest. I prefer to separate bricks and digital entries, but I couldn't have a 5th category for digital entries, so...

    Hi, Actually I'd prefer you wait for AG2. Joining now would be a bit useless as AG1 is slowly getting to an end... That reminds me I really need to work on AG2!

    Afraid of zombies? Well you'd better avoid the Eurobricks Sci-Fi subforum this month since it will be all dedicated to our favorites undead with the Braaiiinnss!!! contest! If you want to win one of the prizes provided by The Lego Group and BrickWarriors, you'd better check the rules and enter the contest!

    Agreed! I was a bit dissapointed when I saw the CMF... Nothing very interesting sci-fi wise...

    Forum Performance - update

    The problem with the portal have been dealt with
  24. Introduction Since the theme came out last year, I wanted to do a Nexo Knight set review. And here it is! I choose set 70321 General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom because it was the set that got the longest name, and so I knew I'd like it! More seriously, the minifigs looked great and the Siege Machine of Doom looked quite scary. Let's see if it's really the case! Set information Set Name: General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom Set Number: 70321 Number of Pieces: 516 Theme: Nexo Knights Year Release: 06/2016 Prices: £39.99 / $49.99 / €49.99 (Euro prices may vary) #70321 on Brickset #70321 on Rebrickable Packaging The front shows the usual 2016 Nexo Knight theme, with the 3 minifigures included (Clay, Flama and General Magmar) and the 3 Nexo Power also included. The back of the box shows the set's play features of the Siege Machine of Doom. There's also a relatively big artwork trying to make us play the free game. Content of the box The box contains 4 numbered bags, two instruction booklets, a loose stickers sheet and six of these big spiked wheels. The stickers look really great, but I feel like they're too much of them... Instructions booklet As it seems to be the norm now with medium sized sets, we got 2 instruction booklets. The smaller one, which will gide us through the first part of the build has 79 pages, while the second has 64 pages. A total of 143 steps awaits us... Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The light blue background makes color distinctions easy. Bill of materials... Lots of promotional pages at the end of both booklet. Minifigures The set contains 3 minifigures: Clay, Flama and General Magmar, the last two being exclusive to this set. Clay got a dual printed face while both Magmar and Flama got back printed heads. I'm really fond of the different prints on Magmar and Flama. They look really menacing! Build With bag #1 we'll start building the Siege Machine... ... and get the complete Hover Horse in Clay's colors. It is built like every other Hover Horses that can be found in other sets. Bag #2 adds to the Siege Machine, with the beginning of the lifting mechanism. With Bag #3 the Siege Machine is almost complete. Ang bag #4 and the loose wheels finish it! A few spare parts... The complete set with the Siege Machine of Doom and Clay on its Hover Horse. The fight seems a bit unfair!... The build is rather interesting. Lots of Lego Technic beams and connectors in there. Lots of stickers too, but they really add to the beauty of the Siege Machine of Doom! Play features The main play feature is the ability of the Siege Machine to raise. In that position, it looks like a big monster with an open mouth. You can note that the three plateforms stay horizontal in both configuration. In lowered position, don't play with the disk shooter, as you could hit Flama in the head! In raised mode, we have acces to a prison cell hidden in the Siege Machine guts. You don't want to be in there when in lowered mode! The sets comes with the usual shooting thingies for a bad guys sided Nexo Knight set: nice printed 2x2 round plates and balls. We also got two Nexo Powers in addition to the one on Clay's shield, and the Book of Destruction! Conclusion Design: 9/10 - The Siege Machine is quite impressive in its design! The mechanism works extremely well! Parts: 8/10 - A very nice selection of parts with lots of colors. Again less stickers and more printed parts would be better. Build: 8/10 - Not very difficult builds, but rather interesting. Playability: 8/10 - A great playset ! Minifigs: 9/10 - While Clay's minifig is quite standard, General Magmar and Flama are absolutely stunning!. Price: 7/10 - With decent ppp of 0,097€ and 3 minifigs, this set's price is correct. Overall: 49/60 (82%) - General Magmar's Siege Machine of Doom is a great set. Not only does it have (2) great minifigures, but it is also very playable and looks nice, with a good selection of parts.
  25. Thanks guys. To be honest, I never fired the disk shooter, I don't like those shooters TLG puts everywhere, and I also don't like to search the whole room for a 2x2 disk
