    Hello, I bought these Gold Coins on Sprue on Bricklink a few weeks ago. I need your opinion, to know if they are real LEGO coins or not. I didn't have these coins since 20 years, but I do remember that both sides were embossed. Looking at pictures on Internet, I never find the same "error" as on my purchased coins. The numbers are not embossed. The numbers are printed with a small shadow. The LEGO logo is embossed but I think it looks bigger than the coins I can see in pictures. Coins picture from LEGO instructions So, are these copies or a modified (and less pretty) version of the real coins?

    Are these LEGO Gold coins a copy or legit?

    Back to the Brick replied to Back to the Brick's topic in General LEGO Discussion

    I contacted the seller and he told me that he purchased these parts years ago in bulk from a German Bricklink seller who had bought them himself in the German Legoland parts store. He also write that they could be "second choice parts and therefore were sold cheap in the Legoland store or perhaps these were used in only a few sets, merely a variation". I'm not sure about his answer. LEGO doesn't make such cheap products and if it was a variation they wouldn't change the size of the logo. I'll try to get a refund. Thank you for your help!

    Yes, the number sides are completely flat with the number printed.

    [MOC] Big Small Imperial Bastion

    Back to the Brick posted a topic in Pirate MOCs

    Hi all Pirates and LEGO fans! I share with you my latest MOC called the Big Small Imperial Bastion. I just wanted to create a playable bastion to use with the very nice Pirates of Barracuda Bay set. Hope you'll like it. Any comments are welcome. View form behind. Mmh... It seems the monkey stole something from the Captain's office. Door is open on purpose for this picture. No pirate escaped from this small cell since its construction. Various treasures and Captain's teddy bear (shh!). Three cannons are always better than one. Captain and his favorite chair. Captain's office. Another view from Captain's office.

    [MOC] Steve Gaels and Hapapou's adventures

    Back to the Brick replied to Back to the Brick's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes

  10. Back to the Brick
    Steve Gaels, adventurer during his free time and working in a Parisian museum, found a very old map on a market in London. When he found out that that map could help him discover the lost treasure of an ancient and extinct tribe, he took the first plane to North America. Hapapou is a Native American who crossed Steve's path after he lost a poker game - and almost his life - just before Steve saved him from outlaws. In exchange, Hapapou promised to help Steve to find the famous treasure. See more pictures in the album here : Steve Gaels and Hapapou's Adventures! Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

    Review: 21310 Old Fishing Store

    Back to the Brick replied to ZCerberus's topic in LEGO Town

    Thanks for the review. I still think it's overrated. For that price I'd buy a modular with more rooms and playability.

    Eurobricks as a LUG

    Back to the Brick posted a topic in LEGO Events and User Groups

    Hi, I've seen on this page that Eurobricks is a LUG : https://lan.lego.com/lugs So, as a member of the forum I'm officially and automatically part of your LUG? I didn't find a topic about that in the forum and I would like to know what can I do being part of it? Can I have discounts, or maybe invitations to special events? Thanks for your answers.

    Eurobricks as a LUG

    Hinckley, if you mean FreeLUG, yes I know them, well, their name. I also know that LUGs link, and based of your informations I think I will contact some of them and ask what they do together. Thanks!

    Eurobricks as a LUG

    Back to the Brick replied to Back to the Brick's topic in LEGO Events and User Groups

    Thanks for your answer! I'm not looking for discounts especially, someone on Bricklink told me that's why he's in a LUG and then sold all the remaining pieces he doesn't need. I was wondering because he sells like 5,000 pieces of a reference sometimes. I'm looking more of a LEGO Club, where you can build and share your creations in a physical room with people of all ages. And I couldn't find that yet in France. That's why I'm looking for more information about what could I do in a LUG, plus make some "real" friends. Being already a member of Eurobricks, a forum I like very much, and recognized as a LUG member would be easier to just find another LUG in France and to be honest, most of them don't interest me. But I suppose my request doesn't exist yet, it's not really what I thought of LUG. LEGO should create, besides their stores, some official LEGO Club or LEGO School where you don't need to be focused on organizing your exhibits, but just building, sharing and learning what you could do with LEGO.

    REVIEW: 71012 LEGO Minifigures - Disney Series 1

    Back to the Brick replied to WhiteFang's topic in LEGO Licensed

    Thanks for the review! Always useful. I'm disappointed by Mickey and Minnie's faces. The painting is bad around the nose or eyes, they look like some bad Made in China products you could find for 50 cent at the market.

    [REVIEW] 21305 - Maze

    Back to the Brick replied to Jim's topic in Special LEGO Themes

    Well thanks for the review but it's not my cup of tea, fun for 3 minutes and then... Also the wooden toys are nicer and more challenging. It's a nice way to say “You can do that with Lego” but I'm wondering how well it will sell.

    It's a very nice and creative MOC! Keep up the good work. I'm writing that while watching the Grimm TV show and eating a bretzel and looking at your MOC.

    Thanks for the review and photos. Someone should build the cinema seen in Back to the Future 2, and use that shark head.
