Dear RLUG Ambassadors,

 

This is a unique chance to provide feedback to the team who develops special brick LEGO products.

Melody Caddick - LEGO designer in the LEGO Group Licensing & Extended Line Products division (whom many of you know already) – asks for your feedback on some of the projects that is in their current portfolio. The goal is to let the design team know how we are doing with the existing special LEGO brick products. For this feedback session we are not taking input on products you would like to see in the future.

 

So go here to find out more and to maybe make a difference!

Stuff to read!

Eurobricks' Global Moderator WhiteFang just posted his review of the new LEGO Architecture set: 21029 Buckingham Palace! Check it out in the Special Themes subforum!

Members who sail The Brick Seas, such as Eslandola's own Captain Braunsfeld, have been creating builds to illustrate their stories.

Captain Braunsfled has recently posted the 13th installment of his story, which started with the adventures of the infamous cunning Captain Cookie to the success of Colonel Brickinson after he has flown the monkey flag.

Check out 13. The Brickinson Case.



Come follow other great stories and builds in The Brick Seas.

One of our latest members, dsharlet, has created a Mindstorms EV3 robot catching a ball in mid-air....that's all I need to say

Our very own Pirate Regulator, Kurigan, found this great Schooner on Flickr and shared it in the Pirate MOCs Forum. Yes, it's made of Lego.



Know Your Pieces has now joined Eurobricks after this ship was posted to discuss this model. Come to the Pirate MOCs Forum to discuss this Schooner and other great MOCs.

Sorry for promoting this so late, but our very own Technic Regulator Blakbird has published an outstanding review of the 42055 - Bucket Wheel Excavator. Unlike other reviews, this one contains some very cool schematics, with special thanks to Philo. It's definitely worth the read!

After fighting his way out of the labyrinth of lines that is SDCC, Eurobricks Review Academy teacher Oky presents his review of this convention exclusive set; a set which foreshadows the upcoming Lego Brickheadz line, to be released in 2017.

Brethren of the Brick Seas members have been creating some great looking ships using alternative techniques without pre-fab hulls.



CB4 built The Nemesis using is own SNOT technique. An unnatural calm has fallen over the Brick Seas as this sailing ship lies in harbour.




Dannylonglegs built The Singsong using another SNOT technique altogether. This small merchant vessels trades everything from fine Oleander wine and pepper, to purple and blue murex dye from the coast of New Oleon.

Come checkout other great builds in Brethren of the Brick Seas in the Pirate Forum.

I'm not usually a big fan of mechas built with Technic parts, but this Gundam ZGMF-X10A by demon14082001 is seriously great! Check it out in its own topic, and while you're there just take a look at all the awesome stuff in the Sci-Fi subforum (and we have cookies there).

Mestari shows that not all modulars need to be blocky. His Palm House in neoclassical style is home to an indoor botanical garden.

A new Eurobricks Technic Contest is live! Join the Pneumatic build off and win a Volvo EW160E, offered to you by Vengit, the guys who brought you the SBrick!

We have managed to partially solve the issue with embedding Youtube videos. However, we will need to rebuild the post database. The downside; this might influence performance of Eurobricks, so please bear with us. The upside; you will be seeing Youtube videos in 800x450 after the rebuild and we aren't using Flash anymore. Furthermore you can use http and https when linking to Youtube videos. Look here for information and/or discussion.

Rebrick is running a new fun competition. Head over to the Embassy forum and get more details!

Currently we are experiencing an issue with displaying Youtube videos. Some browsers don't show the videos anymore. Instead of showing the video, a black bar is shown. We are looking into it. Check out the help section for more information. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We already know that soccerkid6 and Littlejohn are fantastic builders, but when the brothers are combining their building skills it gets even better. Like this amazing layout they've created for Brickfair VA. And although I did not see it in person, just by looking at the pictures I'm pretty sure the win for best Castle/Knights creation is more than justified!

Make sure to check out all the wonderful details in the Guilds subforum!

The Bricks issue 15 is out and among other things it takes a look into the world of Technic and how it provides movement across all LEGO disciplines. Swing over to the General LEGO Discussion forum and have a preview!
