  1. Two words: 1. bubble 2. wrap. Seriously, greatest invention since sliced bread. Basically whatever Dr. S said.
  2. Yup, in fact, I'm in the middle of a project that's doing that right now! Just be careful though, because the connection isn't very strong.
  3. Just like what my friend Doctor S said, I'd go with PAB over bricklink.... UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I use PAB for bulk bricks and plates, because shipping, especially for the amounts I need, can get astronomically high, to the point where I'd basically be paying 2/5 of the order on just shipping alone. PAB is useful for bland, bulk, non-super-specific parts. Now, there's quite a divide between bricklink. It's a great site, but only because of the length of time it has existed for, which by virtue gives it the most amount of variety. As everyone has said, you do need to compare shop, and be mindful of shipping. If one seller lists Darth Vader at $1.99, chances are he/she'll charge you at least $15 of shipping. So be mindful. Also, be VERY careful. It's earned the slang name "cracklink" for a VERY good reason. Just because Vader is listed at $1.99, DOESN'T mean you need to buy tons of random extra parts to meet the minimum buy and make your purchase. I'm not telling you what you should and shouldn't get, that's up to you my friend, but I once accidentally ran up a $60 order 90% of which was stuff I didn't even need, just bought to meet the store minimum so I could get a certain minifigure whom I'd always wanted, only to get it and realize it wasn't that great in the first place. Experience is a big part. Other than that, go nuts!

    Canadian Eh?

    Mastermind Toys has the new Ninjago, Pirates, Elves and City sets for 2015. If anyone (besides those I already know *cough*torolug*cough*) swings by the yonge near Lawrence location, keep an eye out for me on the job! I'd love to meet up with a fellow eurobricks member!

    [MOC] Doctor Who: TARDIS Console

    Why thank you!! Well, it is bigger on the inside ;) I really hope you do, you won't regret it. You could probably also fin the most recent episodes online, depending on how you feel about streaming ;D
  15. In honour of the latest and greatest announcement (in case you haven’t heard, it’s official), I just couldn’t wait and so I had to build my own. Peter Capaldi has definitely done an amazing job as Doctor Who, and I'm uber excited for series 9, as well as OFFICIAL LEGO® DOCTOR WHO!! Logo found here. Reference 1 and reference 2. 11th Doctor TARDIS reference here. *Doctor Who, TARDIS and all related names, images, etc. are property of the British Broadcasting Corporation. All rights reserved.*

    Your Lego ritual...

    I dunno. It's hard to say. There'll be days I force myself to build, and then there will be days where I'm taking the subway home from work when suddenly an idea lands in my head and I run home after getting off and start building right away. As a kid LEGO used to be a play-time activity, in which I planned it as part of my day. Now I just build when and wherever, depending on my mood (an schedule). Great topic!

    What is a Minifigure to you?

    This is the greatest figure ever, and will be used as the standard by which all current and future minfigures will be judged by.

    The Goat Mystery

    I've never seen this piece before.... and I want it. Keep an eye out. It'll probably appear again. I've noticed quite a few pieces from the 90s have started to re-surface in recent sets, so I wouldn't put it past LEGO to make more of these amazing guys.
