Legoliner Pilot

Okay, so I was in my local TRU getting my Bricktober brick, for week three. I was picking up my Combine Harvester when... Out of the corner of my eye I see not MEGA-BLOKS, but another brand called something along the lines of "Inter-lock Bricks". They even had minifigure clones with real skin and the legs were enlarged! It was a direct copy of LEGO! Then I saw it. Oh, it was UGLY. IT WAS... K'NEX BRICKS! :sick: Okay, we aren't copying anyone.... ACK! It's hideous! How can they blatantly copy LEGO like that? I mean look at those horrid figures! Direct copy! This is just bad. And to top it off, they even hint at the possibility that they are "compatible" with LEGO! Okay, now that my rant is over, feel free to present your honest opinions.

Hello members of Eurobricks! I recently found the power functions part of Lego SAH very intriguing, and I decide to buy the following items so I can motorize my Wind Turbine from 7747 Wind Turbine transport: Can anyone offer a few general guide to motorizing? I'm kind of new to power functions ...

BB Code acronyms are a very cool feature that I have seen very little use of on Eurobricks. What is an acronym, or more specifically, what is a BB Code acronym?According to Dictionary.com, an acronym is quote "a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words". A BB Code Acronym... Wait. First of all, what is BB Code? Well, BB Code is two pairs of brackets, of which are opening which starts with [textgoeshere] and closing which ends with a forward slash (/) and looks like [/textgoeshere]. When text is typed between those two brackets, the text in the two brackets specifies the chosen effect (see here for a list of examples. Acronyms are a little known feature of BB code. Their brackets are [-acronym="textgoeshere"-] and [-/acronym-], sans the dashes. When used, a word will appear as normal text, but when you hover over it with your mouse, text will appear! Here is an example: Hover your cursor here. How do you create acronyms? Well, it's a piece of cake if you can follow these simple steps : 1. 2. 3. 4.Post your message. 5. Done! Look above to see how to view your newly created acronym. You now know how to post acronyms! Please remember to abide by the Site Guidelines when using them. --- What do you think of this guide?

Hmm... Good idea.

You knew what he was referring to.

Which will result in said company going bankrupt.

Jamie... You are amazing! Even though I COULD write a big long mushy thank-you note for all of your hard work, I will instead state that I admire your building techniques. You rock!

Four. You forgot Market Street! It was a Modular and was part of the line, so don't give me that hoo-ha about it being a factory set. This pilot (read: me) is tired of people discounting the fact that Market Street is a modular building because of either a. It was not designed by Berard when in fact he helped Erik Brok immensely while in the development of the model or b. It was part of the Factory line which is the silliest thing I have ever heard. Market Street on!

edit: Anymore news on the LEGO Truck?

I would develop some decent [extra] wagons for the Emerald Night and not put up with this bla bla limited releases of exclusive in a year bla.

Yes I am. This is the 501st time someone has told me that actually. It doesn't revoke my opinion, does it? Of course I wasn't expecting something like your absolutely wonderful steam locomotives (really them! ), but I was expecting something other than short wagons and out of whack proportions. IMO, the whole thing is ruined because of it being to scale of those... um... Maxifigs with those ugly heads that IMO aren't even minifgures?

A diesel locomotive! I totally it! The details are all there!

I don't have any hope for this one, after seeing that hideous excuse for a "Western Train" from the Toy Story line.

The only reason why people want 9V back is because of the pulling power of the locomotives, or more specifically the motor. That's it. The track is nothing special, hell it's comparable to a normal piece of RC track with some metal stuck on. If LEGO made a proper motor (I.E: A motor that can pull more than what's included with itself) that fills the space of a bogey instead of all this Technic motor and gearing hoopla, and that can actually pull more than 2 carriages without tripping the circuit, then maybe AFOLTs (see below paragraph for definition) would shut up and stop lamenting the death of 9V. It shouldn't be that hard to make a bogey motor that has enough torque and that doesn't suck up battery life in 2 seconds flat. I wish LEGO would stop trying to make trains into Technic. The Emerald Night is great, but it only comes with one carriage. Keep in mind LEGO that this is the only bone you have thrown us AFOLTs (Adult Fans of LEGO Trains, I think it sounds quite good ) in two years. It's not fair how we have waited this long for a nice train and we finally get one, and it only has one carriage/wagon. Who the hell has the mindset that a train should only pull one carriage, and then puts extra stickers for more cars but the pieces aren't included to build them. If you can make the Imperial Flagship USD $179.99 than why couldn't you have made the Emerald Night the same price and included two more carriages/wagons? In any case, 9V is dead forever. Complaining won't help and it is certainly NOT coming back.

Ditto. Flaming would be intentionally trying to instigate an argument, insulting people, etc. There is no reason not to release the instructions.

In the LEGO store in Orlando, Mom talking to son: "But honey, you have to put this one together... "

Instructions? Where?

Hmmm... Now make a double-decked luxury coach with a small kitchen and bathroom! I'm sure you could merge two of those buses and it would look nice. Nice MOC!

Love that souped-up () tow truck! Much better than the official design. The best thing I think is how smooth yet streamlined it is! Excellent!

I was just asking... For all you know it could be a bar! Sheesh.

First of all, that was an advertisement, not signage. Second, why would a City Center have Octan signage all over it? And since when has anyone else in LEGO City besides LRTS operated buses, monorails, or trains? "A lot" means this supposed item must have plenty of Octan plastered all over it. Second, lightningtiger said that it will be a service station. There is your proof. Definition of "a lot".

I'm still recovering from the loss of the monorail to a lousy truck stop.

No, I was looking at your pictures. I was asking about what they were for.

Wine glasses on the second floor? (zoom in)
