  1. I think posting someone's creation and calling it your own, even if it is tweaked a bit, still deserves at least a sentence or two of credit to the original designer. Now techniques are another matter, as those are not someone's "own" work, and can and should be shared throughout the Lego Community. Taking another person's credit for a creation is quite rude, and for a contest, illegal. But since the original designer doesn't care, I don't see why you can't just email the guy who copied the creation to give credit where credit is due.

    I love it. And look at the bottom of the index! Forum Statistics!

    BrickArms Combat 2010

    I'm definitely getting these weapons. I love Modern Warfare 2 and Bad company 2; great games. (I'm assuming this is where he got the idea for these weapons.)

    0800

    I got a deformed bike in 7639 Camper, but I just returned the whole set to the retail store for a new one. They'll only ship the piece to you on 2 conditions: 1. The set was MISB when you bought it. (If it was a used set, then they're not gonna help you.) 2. If they even make the part anymore.

    Custom Kits

    I do it all the time, that's how I get most of my Lego.

    Search Questions

    Wow, do I feel stupid, I never knew that. I've never had any trouble with it doing that, but at least I know how to change it back, after seeing all the topics made for that purpose.

    Sword Mess-Up

    I'm guessing the plastic in your sword got mixed accidentally with the darker on, as my sword from that set is the same shade as the older ones.

    Search Questions

    I've had problems with the search engine before, so I use Google now. Just type that name in, and it always has the thread you were looking for in one of the first few results. I think the problem is that our search engine searches for the words in the thread, but not the actual thread title.

    Alien Graffiti

    Superb! I just love that technique for the flames! You're pretty lucky, getting to use Lego to do an art project.

    A new regulator

    Great work! Someone has to do it, and it sure ain't me, I suck at LDD. But then I see these amazing models made from it, and I wonder: How did they do that?

    Wizard's Duel

    Definitely the Red One. (Malak, I think.) Does the Green One have a name? Any ways, the green one looks kind of menacing, but with gray facial hair, and then a black beard, he looks a little weird. Malak looks sooo much more menacing and evil, he wins hands down.

    Wipeout!

    I've only seen a few of the episodes, and I think I caught all of last season. It's a great show, I would love to try, as I know we all think it looks alot easier than it is. The course where they have to jump across 4 huge balls... ... just wow. I would like to try my luck at that.

    You tube-music in our video

    I know all the videos I've seen with music in them have the usual little pop-up add replaced with the links to buy the song on Amazon and iTunes. So maybe as long as you some how put that there, (I don't know how, I don't have a youtube account) you might be fine.

    Review: 7597 Western Train Chase

    Great reviews as always def, even if you were missing a piece. It's a really nice set that I would love to pick up, but it's way over priced.
  15. Yes! Thank you, this is great; better start building. EDIT: Yeah, maybe we should have some "No ACPin Allowed Contests".
  16. In an epic battle between the two kingdoms, only one can be victorious. But will it be the Lion Knights, with their advanced war machines, or the Dragon Knights, with their fierce brutality tactics? Set Details: Name: 7950 Knight's Showdown Theme: Lego Kingdoms Price: $7 USD (with tax, so probably around $5.99) Location: Got mine at my local TRU After browsing my local TRU, I found this set, it was the only one. So I quick grabbed it, and got home to do a review. (And yes, I did pay for it. ) So onto the review then! Box Front: Some nice boxart, with a few bright colors. Box Back: Showing the knights settling it the man's way: One on One. Box Side: Showing actual size minifigure, and what's that? Nothing made in China? Yay! So after opening the box, we are treated with two bags, some instructions, and one of those Club ads. (Not pictured) While the instructions aren't crushed, it is a tad annoying that there's a crease down the middle. I assume it's intentional, as I've seen it on a bunch of other newer sets. Hopefully, it'll prevent crumpling. Some parts of interest: Showing the difference of shades in the new metalic Gray: Personally, I like the new color, it looks great on the minifigs, which I'll get to now: What you've all been waiting for: And with helmets removed. Front of the Bucket Helmet: And the back. As it is a little set, I've just shown pics of the set already assembled, no assembly pics. Although I do have a random instruction page below. Something that really annoys me is that on the box and the instructions, it clearly shows three "rocks", and only two are included. On the bright side, when you put a rock in the catapult, it weighs the basket down, so you can instantly launch it. On another darker side, it only launches 5 or 6 inches, but what do you expect form such a small catapult? And the Dragon Knight's sword-holder-thingy-ma-bobber. It's nice to get some dark green cheeses. Extra Pieces: Yay! More DG cheese! The random instruction page I promised you: Inventory: And an ad for all the other Kingdoms sets. Thoughts: Price: Not that bad, even for TRU. 8/10 Minifigures: Great, especially that Dragon Knight. He looks ready for a really brutal battle with all that armor. Maybe for the price there could have been one more Dragon Knight. 9/10 Pieces: I like the new catapult, bucket helmet, and the colors are great. Nothing to really complain about here. 9/10 Build: The color differentiation is good in the manual, nothings confusing. The build is quick, simple, and the set is has playability. 8/10 Overall: 8.5/10 It looks like a great little set to start this line off. I'll definitely be buying more. Note: I know I'm in the Reviewer's Academy, but this set is new, so I thought I'd try and get it out there ASAP. Whoops, almost forgot the parting shot!

    Shadows joining the admin team

    Wait, your an Admin now? I always thought you were. Guess I'm not very observant. I'm sure you deserve it, yadadadada, spam spam spam, blah blah blah. So anyways, get to fixing those bugs, there are a ton of 'em.

    From Flesh to Yellow

    Either it was some other forum, or I swear, there was a topic on this. It's ok though, it's a couple months old. And yes, this does work, pretty well too, once you've practiced it a couple times. And the markers are called Sharpies. I still can't believe that they don't have them in Europe.

    Battle of Spotsylvania

    Holy crap, when you said you based it off the painting, you weren't kidding! Great job remaking the scene with Lego, every detail in the painting is there.

    MOC: Supercar

    Nice, very sleek. One suggestion: maybe you should replace those gray slopes on the back with red ones. And is that the Stig driving?

    MOC: Lotso's polyester girl (PG)

    After this MOC, I'm sure every one will have nightmares about that creepy bear... Anyways, great MOC. And yes, this definitely needs to be frontpaged.

    Hoth (It's a)

    "It's a trap!" Maybe they'll heed Ackbar's warning this time. About the creation itself, I just love it. The humor, the details, all the little hidden things... Great work, can't wait to see more creations from you!
