Jim, we two still need to do our blind Millennium Falcon speed build competition. I already have something prepared. Maybe I can make a little event out of it. I will think about it

I also have gathered some smaller Sets for prices over the years I will see what I can bring along. For a contest I was thinking in the same direction but maybe a bit more cheerful. So rather in the direction of "how do you picture this years event after all the years of waiting" Vignette style so that everyone can participate easily. (I also always like to take a EB-twist on new Lego themes. Like last time we had the Architecture Skyline of your own city contest.) I would be happy to come up with something regarding rules and stuff. Peppermint and I could also do it together or someone else if interested.

One more thing regarding the price: The heating, water and electricity is not included in the price and will be charged after the stay. So I will need to charge you an extra few euro after the event. Just for your information! Estimated prices from the contract are: Electrictiy: 4,00 DKK per kWh Water: 95,00 DKK per m³ Heating: 1,10 DKK per kWh

Ok, so I booked one classic plus cabin for 8. I actually found another voucher online that gave 130€ discount so we safe the money that we added for the towels and bed sheats If anyone is also booking at Lalandia add: AKTION2023 while booking and you safe 130€

Alright then, I can book 1 classic plus cabin. I would book the classic instead of the nordic because it has two showers and looks a little bit more spacious. In the end including sheats for all beds plus 2 towles p.P. it will be ~173€ p.P. (instead of ~157€ for the nordic one). I hope that is fine for everyone. I either book it tonight or tomorrow evening. I think this is a great idea! Maybe @Holodoc you could include this in your first post? Then we can see how many people would like to join a cabin. I guess tho, as you also already said, that we can for sure fill one 8 person cabin already.

Wow I love the clean and compact yet intricate design! The crystals are a nice touch and the overall estatic really draws you into the picture. Really impressive!

At least for me it would be fine to arrive on Tuseday (since flights are cheaper that day and my girlfriend has never been to Denmark so she would enjoy it ) That would speak for me as one room responsible even more. I checked and finally found that I can pay by banktransfer. So that should work. So I can do that with one Lalandia Cabin for 8.

Me and Sophie (my +1) would love to be part of one of the Lalandia Cabins. We would be happy to take one of the double beds. Also, I am not keen on it but could be one of the room responsibles if we need one more. Does someone know how you can pay? Only credit card or also e.g. Paypal?

I am also in. This time with a high chance of my girlfriend joining too

Hi all! Ishizuki is a style in which the tree is rooted wholly within (atop or on the sides of) a large rock. Most of the time the roots are exposed and visible. When I saw all the different bonsai trees that are visible in the background of the Lego designer video of the new bonsai tree set I wanted to build my own bonsai tree. At the beginning of this project I was thinking of the right pot to "plant" the tree in. By chance I found this large Belville swimming pool that was perfect for a bonsai pot. It has a very striking color and a special form that gives a nice contrast to the brown and earthy tones of the bench and tree. While going through my Belville collection I realised that the legs and arms of the figures are pretty nice to form tree branches. Sadly, they are not that easy to connect to anything in the Lego system. But I tried out a lot of connections and in the end found connection points for all different joints. The result is this bonsai tree. Build for the "Build a Bonsai" competition at Brickset I think I need to keep on experimenting with these Belville joints. They are fun to mess around with Best Skalldyr

Absolutely love it!!! Kinda what I imagined by the description. Police with italian museum vibes. Must get for me. Love that Lego got the old modular feeling back as they already did with the bookshop.

Thanks! then let's wait and hope for the best

I think the same. Did you know how easy it would be to cancel our house? In a case where it will nor be over by June?

So I guess 13€ in total not per day, right? Then I will take it too!

Same for me, if only bed linen is an option I will bring my own towel too.

Sounds good! I would join you

Yes indeed, a common room would be very good and especially beacuse in Billund we are always a lot of people! Btw: Did you ask for that room? It could indeed be an option. Also because I remember last year we could not get the nice room in the Legoland Village main building anymore and had to stay at the "open for everyone" common room...

Same for me

Oh that is indeed very sad news. A lot of fun stuff but since I already saw all of it I guess I will save the 267€ And since I will also save a lot of money in not buying sets in Billund, I could sponsor some old Sets for a price pool

I wonder what the name will be. Birch Books would be confusing with Brick Bank (BB)

That's tough dates just between two german holidays but I will make it work somehow! Count me in

Wow, that is heavy news! Even if I never bought a single part via Bricklink. I can simply not immagine that this can have a great outcome in the future. Of course there would be a lot of great new opportunities that I could imagine out of this new ownership. Buuuut I can also think about far too many not so nice things happening which would not make it worth it. But also, I mean I can totally understand why they see the need to get better connection with Afols. Right now there is a bigger and bigger growing pool of other, mostly Asian, Lego-like manufacturers. And what they do is simple but effective: They produce the stuff that Afols want. Sets that have 6.000+ or whatever pieces and look like Mocs. They are often beautiful, even tho the quality seems to be rather not so up to Lego standards. Buuut people buy them because they love the looks of these and because they are often the stuff that Lego does not produce. And even tho a lot of these are stolen designs and shit quality. People rather buy 10 of these then 1 Legoset. Because the prices allow to do so. Sooo to keep up with the wishes of more and more Afols that love beautiful Sets rather then stuff like a Hoth UCS or whatever, they see the need to get into the core of the Afol community and with Bricklink they probably see a way of making it possible to even sell Afols Mocs without loosing out on profits and competing with the Asian Manufacturers. Still I see a lot of downsides (some of them allready posted by other people above) and I now can only hope, that somehow non of these will become reality...

This years Building Contest for the 15th Eurobricks-Event in Günzburg was: Build your own town in style of the LEGO Architecture Skyline Series. The idea behind it was to learn even more about each other. The rules were easy and as following: Use LEGO to build a skyline in style of the LEGO Architecture Skylines. Use some nice buildings or interesting sight seeing spots of the town you live in. (If it would be suuuper small and there is a bigger town near by I guess it would be fine to use that town. But e.g. don't build the skyline of Copenhagen if you would live in Billund) Keep it in roughly the same size as the models form LEGO. A nice paper print out with some informations about the skyline would be nice too. Have fun! Here are all the amazing Skylines together in one Picture and some impressions of the presentation Special thanks to CopMike for supplying us all with beautiful printed 1x8 tiles with the city names. And now here we go for all the individual entries: Ravensburg, Germany "The City of Games" (by Skalldyr) for more detailed pictures and some behind the scenes building techniques just click here!

Hahaha we have proven that indeed! I think no one was ever that fast. Next time we should sat a timer for an all time record keeping It was awesome and I miss you all too

I think you should also add the too pictures with the black background that Holodoc has in its Brickshelf folder
