Hello, I'm planning to go to San Jose in Costa Rica for the wedding of my brother in law. There are 3 LEGO Stores around the city. Which store deserve a visit? I have a LEGO passport I would like to stamp too :) Thanks

Hello, Oh, it's exactly what I want to achieve, but with Java language :) I've already implemented Control Lab (JControlLab : https://github.com/e-amzallag/jcontrollab ), then I'm currently working on the PoweredUp Java implementation (JPowUp) All my Java libraries integrate together, included the LEGO Dimensions Toypad (JToyPad https://github.com/e-amzallag/jtoypad ) Nice to see that there are other guys with the same goals ! More information : https://www.dajlab.org/

I observed once the same behavior. I'm following with interest this topic, because I'm currently developing a Java-based solution for Powered-Up. I have already a working proof of concept. Thanks to @Mr Hobbles for the job regarding the PUP protocol.

That's already done ;) (HD Video too)

Just to add some links ;) - our Pirates diorama last year : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=43869 - Hogwarts : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=467682 And for the SteamPunk, we will have, maybe for the first time, real floating rocks !

Not a set but quite challenging : the link treads from the bulldozer 8275

Same here. My sister who lives in UK is still waiting for them.

Lots of activities in this small part of village ! It's bad that the 6 pics limit doesn't allow to show all the details. However I like the way you did the smoke of the canon, and the brick-built bird too. There are of many other details, but lots of entries with lots of details, it's too difficult to comment everything !

Hum, too bloodish for me, but the micro BSB is so cute.

Very nice buildings with different building techniques, the "rockhead" is very well done and I like the way you made the pavements. This would be a very cute place for holidays, if those bad pirates were not present !

Wow! The ship is really huge and full of nice "skeletal" details. The seamouth is quite horrific, I don't want be at the place of these poor soldiers But I think that a picture of your lovely beach/coast is missing in your selection pics, because you made a wonderful job on this too.

It's not frequent to get a "moc by night", so you offer an original creation :) The light and fire effects are really well done. The un-straight harbor is also a nice touch. I like when the things are not always straight in LEGO. You also made a great selection of minifigs. Now what is missing is the music, the cries and laughters, and smell of a strange mix of rum and smoke

I really like the waves as it's a real improvement of the now traditional flat snotted sea. The use of the tails for the stairs is also a really nice idea. Well done !

Count me in

I won one too :'-) My entry : I want be gold too

Hi every one, FreeLUG (the french LUG) organizes its fifth annual summer event. It will take place from the 13th to the 15th July 2007 in Auvergne near Clermont-Ferrand, center of France. You can find more informations about planned activities and location on the dedicated website :http://ref.freelug.org/index_en.html [en].

Hi, FreeLUG members were to the french Toy Fair. We wrote an article (in french) on our website Among the new sets, we can spotlight : the new electrical system with IR remote control, for the Technic bulldozer and the Creator Dino. The electrical plugs are a new system (neither the classical 2x2 nor the new NXT one). A remote control can control 2 motors at the same time, and has 4 different channels (so we can control 8 motors). There is an IR receiver, with also the 4 different channels. the StarWars line : the MTT is really impressive ! The new Jedi Kit Fisto : the castle line : the new arms of skeleton and weapons : Ferrari : the new Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano 1:10 Creator : a new truck EDIT : Due to heavy traffic, please use the following links : North America : http://www.jordanschwarz.com/mirror/lego2007/ http://www.jordanschwarz.com/mirror/lego2007-2/ Europe : http://www.freelug.org/toysfairParis2007/ http://files.netsence.com/lego/lego2007/ http://files.netsence.com/lego/lego2007-2/ Thanks to people who are mirroring the pictures.
