Project Swapfig (a Kickstarter project)
SilentMode replied to SilentMode's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
That's a great point: it wouldn't be hard at all to hide inactive users and their figures, and it's likely that users who disappear after agreeing to a trade will be reported. There will also be the option to disable accounts temporarily. -
This is rather tough, made harder by the fact there are different colour shades. Are the swatches in the same order as the figures on each series' inserts?

Project Swapfig (a Kickstarter project)
SilentMode replied to SilentMode's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
I don't think it's ever possible to completely prevent rogue traders, they tend to find their way around everything. That said, it doesn't mean hiding behind "there's nothing we can do" like so many other people. There will be some advice offered for packing and posting halves of a trade, including the recommendation of using signed for mail and padded envelopes, Beyond that, there would be reliance on people reporting problems with trades, messages and users to the moderators/admin (including myself). I assume you've read the project page, so you'll know about the site policy. -
For those who don't know and haven't heard, I've been working on something called Project Swapfig for the last few months: it's a[nother] web site for trading minifigures. http://www.kickstart...-trading-action I've had successful (and some unsuccessful) trades with different people here on EB, as well as on other sites, and I thought there should be a much easier way of trading, as well as managing and keeping lists of figures up to date. Then I decided: I couldn't wait around for someone else to do it, and I'm capable of doing it. It will be a free to use, ad-supported site, and at the moment will focus just on the Collectible Minifigures - although there's room for expansion toward other kinds of figures and maybe even polybags. Yes, I have got a Kickstarter project running, with just five days to go, but the site will be launched on May 1st - the only difference will be the quality of web hosting, being able to produce the rewards etc. With a lot of help from the LEGO community the project has done very well so far but could use some extra support. You can play around with a design-less demo version of Project Swapfig, and if you like it please back the project (even it's just a little bit). It's still in development so I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve it (just the functionality for now). By the way: definitely support Pigs vs. Cows too!

Here's my latest render (reduced to 800px wide): At it's original size it took about two days, on a 32-bit computer. -
... I've got no words for ths. I could play with that model for hours! Very well done. *goes off crying*
-
I hope so, I'm looking forward to the next wave - especially the school.

My store right now is the Brent Park one, which doesn't usually have discounted LEGO.

There were two LOTR Weathertop sets at my local Tesco yesterday, for £25. A few other sets were also discounted.

You put the minidolls through the net?! Sadism! Well I decided on 6/10 because the interacting with the furniture and buildings and of course the big slide were the highlights. Although I've yet to try the diving board with figures, using it to launch the ball was addictive, I will admit! Interacting with the pool and the jacuzzi was a let down because of the minidolls' Jesus powers; if the legs are taken off it's tricky to position them in the water without a flat surface. If not the diving board then something to launch the ball into the net would have been cool too. Maybe it's worth a 7 after all, but no more.

41008 Heartlake City Pool Set 41008 Release year: 2013 # of parts: 423 # of figures: 2 Links: Brickset Well look who it is... It's been a hot minute, but it's time for a late review of the largest third wave Friends set, the Heartlake City Pool. The whole third wave has been an interesting affair; Friends sets are still generally improving, and we've been blessed with unique minidolls all round, but there have been a couple of misses along the way. Let's see if we can end this wave (no pun intended) on a high note. This is the first time I've bought all the boxed sets in a wave, mainly because I wanted to make sure I have all the unique minidolls. The Box (had to warp this picture a little) As usual, the background makes it look like there's more going on than there actually is - but the main draw seems to be the giant slide Andrea is enjoying. The one attached to the pool, thank you. Yes, Andrea makes her triumphant return in this wave, being the only main cast member not to have a GBP 9.99 set this time. She's also accompanied by Isabella, another supporting character. Back of the box As well as showcasing some of this set's other play features, LEGO reveals that Andrea's friend Isabella is capable of walking on water (middle right panel), giving her an unfair advantage in water netball. Other goings-on include her wanting Andrea to pass the soap, and brandishing a long sausage during lunch. Speaking of which: today's scale reference is indeed Isabella, wearing a Lavender bow. The Contents The box is very well packed, and I wasn't able to fit everything into one shot. Here goes: First we have numbered bags 1 and 2, with the first expectingly containing our precious minidolls. We also know from previous experience that both bags contain the necessary parts for individual sections of the build. Bag 3 contains a seemingly equal number of parts. It's accompanied here by two Medium Azure plates (both exclusive to this set), a large Magenta slide piece (a brand new piece for 2013 and exclusive to this set), and the usual DSS. You may be surprised to find two instructions books, and that the first one is the smallest. Unfortunately they were packed in the box so they'd curl up like this, but otherwise they're intact. Girly colours As well as the exclusive Medium Azure plates and the brand new Magenta slide piece, we're introduced to another new part for 2013: a 6x6 round plate with hole. This set has it exclusively in Medium Azure, but a Light Bluish Grey version exists in four other 2013 sets. All of these sets contain only one. We're also graced with the presence of Bright Light Orange flower accessories, as seen in a few other sets. Greenery A reasonably good look if you like Green. There are only six sets with Green 8x8 plates, and this set contains the maximum quantity of two, along with the more expensive Mini Modulars (10230) and King's Castle (7946). Tileage More great news, as most of the tiles in this set are in Bright Light Orange. Only one other set, Laval's Royal Fighter (70005) has the 1x2 tiles, but this set has nine of them. There's just one more 1x6 tile than in the likely unavailable Emma's Design Studio (3936), for a total of seven. Another record is set with this set having the most Magenta 1x2 tiles (four) of all the sets that have them. Best of the rest As there are so many parts in this set, I decided to show only the more interesting ones here. The set has two more new and exclusive parts with the Orange soccer ball (a new mould with a hexagonal pattern) and the new White basketball net - older basketball nets came in two separate parts in the old Sports sets, and this new one - as well as having a different net design - incorporates the hoop with the Technic axle for attaching to a surface. Very surprising is the introduction of Trans Neon Green/Yellow parts, which was completely unexpected. But the stand-out piece is the new ice cream cone (bottom left), which appears in this and Ice Cream Stand (30106). Unfortunately they've only provided one, when I had expected a spare. I was disappointed. Girls gone wild Here are Andrea and Isabella, up close and personal. You'll immediately notice both the new pairs of legs, where Andrea has on shorts and Isabella has a short sarong or whatever you call those loose skirts. We also have a nice pair of bikini top torsos to go with the one found in Water Scooter Fun (41000), although for now the lighter minidolls are forced to wear a lei. As you can see, Isabella has a blonde version of Emma's usual hairstyle, along with two other minidolls. Take off the hairpieces and you can see the bikini straps, which are a nice bit of detail. The Build As usual we start with the smallest builds first, progressing to the main model. Deckchairs We start things off with this pair of deckchairs, which make use of the 1x2 Magenta and Lime tiles. These are reminiscent of Emma's Splash Pool (3931), except without the attached table that I liked so much. Placing minidolls in a lying-down position on these deckchairs was a little more difficult this time for some reason, but it works well. Table with stools Another simple build, using the rod threaded through the hole in the circular plate to support the parasol. An annoying giant ladybird graces the table along with a cool drink, and is accompanied by two very simple little stools. Bar and grill In building the base of the City Pool's café bar, we encounter some clever usage of grille and round bricks to create textures. The Friends-themed cash register also takes its place on the bar top. Much like the carrot in Stephanie's Pet Patrol (3935), the singular ice cream cone in the set is stood upright - this time with the use of a flower plate. We can also see it's strawberry flavoured. Some decorations are added once we've finished the base: an external lamp and some decorative lights hanging over the bar for that party mood. The bar is finished with a partial Magenta roof, with a sign (one of the stickers would go here), a garnish of flowers and another bug. We also have a sign to accompany the bar, where another sticker would go. The hole in the roof provides ample space to position minidolls behind the bar, and is quite a clever design. You'll also notice there's a small grill right on the bar top, where fried cheese and sausage is cooking. I'm not sure how logical it is to have a hot grill and (assumingly) cold drinks so close together, but that's venturing into the world of nitpicking. Now we move on to Bag 2... Public restroom We're simultaneously building the shower area and the lavatory; you can tell which is which by the presence of the cold and hot taps. Before we know it, we have a fully furnished toilet complete with sink, housing a single tap and a complimentary jar of SweetBreeze™. Done with the interior, we add some much required shutters to the lavatory, as well as some more roof slopes. The shower head and yet another sign (where the last sticker goes) is added as the last step. Not sure how I feel about a plant and a bug being so close to the public shower, but that's how it goes. And now for the main event: The Pool Here's where the first of the Medium Azure plates comes into play. You'll see the pool being divided into two sections, and even at this stage it looks very pool-like. As we near the end of Bag 2, the other Medium Azure plate is brought in to complete the large swimming area, surrounded by a Bright Light Orange trim. We even have an area at the back for a small waterfall, and an isolated section that could be a hot tub or just a small pool. Personally I would be content with leaving the swimming pool like this, and letting the minifigures and minidolls do their thing... ...but noooooo, they had to go and add this girly detail. Fortunately it's not too hard to place them correctly, as the instructions give you a top-down view of the pool as a reference. It's also not too difficult to take them off, or not put them on in the first place. The basketball net is attached to the near side of the pool using a series of Technic parts... I guess our list of building techniques incorporated into the Friends theme is complete! That concludes Bag 2, and now for Bag 3. I got to here in the instructions, along the way becoming disappointed that the small pool wasn't left as is; instead it's been elevated to make a jacuzzi, with little bubbles included. I guess it makes sense, seeing there's a small set of steps leading up to it. The palisade (log) bricks are a very nice touch, although I'm not sure Reddish Brown fits with the rest of the pool. See that waterfall at the back? It's been turned into some kind of interior secluded area, because a section has been added on top for the big exclusive slide piece, which has now become the main play feature. The transparent panel also separates the jacuzzi from the interior space. Here's an alternate view of the pool, showing off the interior section, with the slide secured in place by the Bright Pink plates. We get to another play feature, which is this diving board. Instead of being a makeshift diving board, this one uses a rubbery Technic piece underneath to provide springing action - so it works just like a diving board should! However I was confused when I first got to it: the instructions had the usual warning about flicking objects into yellow people's eyes, so I assumed it was for launching the soccer ball into the basketball net. You can try doing it if you want, but it's very difficult (I managed it once!). So in short, it's definitely meant to be a diving board. Over a pool with such small clearance. Yes. Some Reddish Brown elements are employed to cover up some of the mechanics. We also add some loudspeakers, similar to the ones in Rehearsal Stage (41104) except with hooks at the back to be able to hang them. In these positions they can be rotated to direct the sound; one points over the jacuzzi while the other provides ambience to the pool. At the back of the pool, some ladders are added to access the diving board. Finally, someone had the grand idea of putting a palm tree next to the diving board - so here it is. The last of the insects graces the thick curved trunk. And there you have it! The Completed Set Unfortunately the studio wasn't big enough to space things out properly, but the Heartlake City Pool would look something like this. For the time being it serves as a private hideaway for Andrea and Isabella as they prepare for the busy summer season. Isabella once again demonstrates her ability to walk on water. What many people don't know is that she's manifesting her "woman power", as learned at Summer Riding Camp (3185), with the help of the heart-shaped octagram. Leftovers More small parts than I'm used to seeing are left over, including no less than three stalks. I completely forgot about the Lavender bows, so they're considered spares too! Near the back of the instructions This picture of Andrea signing her heart out straddles the line between inspiring and creepy... Fun with the set So why has Andrea been missing from the action for so long? Why has she made the fewest unique appearances to date (four compared to Olivia/Mia's five, and Emma/Stephanie's six)? The answer: she's been hanging out with her real BFF Isabella to help further her singing career. Together they decided to open Heartlake City Pool: a gathering spot for hip and trendy young women, where boys are strictly not allowed. Radio announcer: "The phones have been turning red-hot for this one! You've asked for it so we're gonna play it again - here's Stephanie with 'Easy Lover'!" Andrea: "hrrrr! Again?! Like, I can't believe she even got a record deal!" Isabella: "That is what the kids are listening to, I think..." Andrea: "This is so, like, totally unfair! Why does she get all the attention?" Isabella: "Relax, you're stressing too much! Let her have her moment; they'll get bored of her soon enough." Andrea: *sigh* Isabella: "I have an idea: we can have a music contest! We can invite some music people, set up a stage next to the pool, and you can perform there!" Andrea: "... You think that'll work?" Isabella: "I don't see why not..." Andrea: *squeal* "Like, let's totally do that! I'm, like so excited now, I'm gonna use the slide!" Isabella: "That's the spirit!" Andrea: "Weeeeeeeeee!" SPLASH Isabella: "Hey, want to play a quick game?" Andrea: "I wanna get started on this idea, like, right now!" Isabella: "Okay, let's get lunch!" The Verdict It took a while for me to get around to reviewing this set, because I initially bought it solely to complete my minidoll collection. It remained unopened in case I decided to make time to review it, which I obviously did in the end. I wasn't sure what to make of the set initially, mainly because of the presence of the huge slide piece, which seemed like a gimmick more than anything. As is usually the case, it took finally opening the box and assembling the model to appreciate it. Anyway, a big plus for the set is the variety of parts included, and there's likely to be something for everybody. If you like parts in regular colours, there's something for you. If you like the newer Friends colours, there's something for you. There's even a little bit for Technic-heads. As well as many of the more sought-after parts being in greater numbers than elsewhere, we also have a good number of (currently) exclusive parts, such as the Medium Azure plates, the slide and the basketball net and ball. The minidolls are noticeable by their unique outfits, in particular the legs with new clothing. They're not my favourite of the minidolls released so far, but they're both very good quality, and you'll definitely notice if they're missing from your collection. Even if Andrea has been missing in action, she has another interesting outfit to add to her collection. The set lends itself well to being reworked rather than built upon. The pool layout (before the flower plates are added) makes an excellent starting point for building your own, whether intended for minifigures or minidolls. While the 180 degree twist of the slide works with the design, I would have liked a straight slide piece leading into the pool from somewhere else - although I like the interior effect made with the diving platform. I can live with the jacuzzi being elevated as it is, and the rest of the set (the public shower/lavatory, deckchairs and bar) works very well as additions and extra bits to add to a display. Unfortunately I have one major gripe with this set: that I was anticipating finally getting hold of that new cone piece, and expecting there to be more than one. Seriously LEGO? Seriously? Two girls, one cone? I can't tell you how disppointed, and perhaps disturbed, I was about it. It poses a problem right now, at least, because the cone only appears once in two Friends sets; fortunately grey market prices aren't too bad at the moment, and could be a lot worse Weighing everything up, this was definitely a one-time purchase that I don't regret, mainly because of the parts selection and the bounty of exclusive pieces. Any extra minidolls would go well towards making a populated beach-themed scene, and extra parts could go towards building an even bigger city pool, with an even longer twisting slide. Design: 8/10 Even if the slide didn't have to be Magenta, it was very well incorporated into the model. A lot of smart building techniques can be found in this set, including the spring mechanism for the diving board, the basketball net and the jacuzzi. Build: 8/10 I wanted to get to building the pool area as quickly as possible, but everything was simple to put together right up until the diving board, where the Technic bricks became tricky to place in the right spot. Parts: 9/10 For those looking for parts for their MOCs, there's something for everybody - especially if you like the Friends colours. The number of exclusive parts in this set is a big bonus, increasing the set's desirability... just a shame about that one cone, where a spare could replace the grill, sausage and "cheese". Playability: 6/10 The basketball hoop and the slide provide the greatest amount of interactivity, along with the diving board. The set also serves as a pleasant-looking display piece, but watch out for the loose Yellow tile and sausage. Why not try using the diving board to dunk the ball? It would greatly help if the minidolls were able to easily sit in the water - not on the water - but an easy solution would be a cup full of 1x1 transparent round plates. Price: 7/10 Even with all the exclusive parts, the number of desirable parts in the set and the minidolls, it seems just a little expensive - but it's one to watch out for if discounted, especially for the Medium Azure plates and Bright Light Orange tiles. We end up with a 7.6 out of 10, which means my arm has been twisted into giving this set my seal of approval. I guess I'm content with having a complete minidoll collection for now. Thank you for reading! Dat Cone Isabella: "Oh no, I only have one ice cream left! Do you want to share?" EvilMode: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Hey, I used to live in Brixton...! WIth any luck I will do again. Anyway, maybe it's the background but this looks very much like a seaside town. I like it!
-
The London Tescos are generally rubbish; the Brent Park store has even seen some price increases (you don't even get 1p change for the 9.99 Friends sets any more).
-
This is awesome, I really like the interior and the clean design of the roof.
-
That is a great idea for a Winter Village set, and very well built. Couldn't help but notice the clerk with no pants on!
-
Very nicely done. I particularly like the technique for the fllor, as well as the truck and the great idea for the Christmas tree.

3300014 Christmas Set 2012 Release year: 2012 # of parts: 109 # of figures: 4 RRP: GBP 9.99* * Once again, although this set was given away with a minimum spend of GBP 50 during the Brick Friday event(s) and S@H's online promotion, the set was valued at GBP 9.99 on the receipt. Promotional image Welcome to another SilentMode review, and this time we're going to be taking a look at this year's promotional "holiday" set. Almost a year ago we came across the infamous Holiday Set 1 and 2, as well as the impromptu birth of EvilMode. This year's "holiday" set is more expensive, comes in a larger box and has slightly more parts than its previous counterparts. How will it fare? The Box The first thing you'll see is that the box design screams "exclusive", if not "premium". It has a really nice colour and design to it, and like last year's sets it matches the general look of their in-store promotions (except not so much green). I almost don't want to open the box. Back of the box On the other hand, the back - while keeping the luxury colour scheme going - is a little plain. It does, however, show the other side of the sleigh, while letting the young girl and boy switch places. Sides of the box The long sides of the box have the usual information about where the sets were assembled and manufactured. Chinaphobes will be pleased to know that they had nothing to do with this set - or so we're told. Also there's a small reminder: outside of the Brick Friday event(s) and the current online promotion, you can't get hold of these (unless someone kindly sells one to you). The short sides have the obligatory reminder, in three hundred different languages, that there's a choking hazard once the box is opened. Interestingly enough, although I may have missed it before, this is the first time I recall seeing a "sad onion" on a box of LEGO. The Contents Probably the most noticeable thing in this set is the inclusion of the prancing horse, which doesn't quite have the impact of the 1x1 round tiles that made their debut in Holiday Set 2 (you know, the piece that automatically made that set better than Holiday Set 1). Other than that, there are two bags of parts, the crisp instructions folded in two, and a very hard to see 4x12 plate in White. White parts These are a few of the parts in White available in this set, most notably the 4x12 plate and the three quarter circles. Red parts Interestingly enough I've spent most of the year getting rid of my Red parts, simply because I don't have a use for them. This set ironically features most of its parts in Red, mostly for the sleigh. Greenery + lamppost For anyone who couldn't get hold of the previous three Winter Village sets, you'll be pleased to know that the set comes with a black lamppost. I like these, although I've not really put them to any use yet. But besides that, there are a few very useful plant parts included in the set, perhaps just not enough of them! Watch out for that leafy part (at the front) next year, where it will be making an appearance in this year's Olive Green (and perhaps other colours). Best of the rest For the cheese slope lovers we get nine of them in white, as well as a few in Dark Bluish Grey and Red, and even a couple of doubles in Red. We also get two transparent minifigure heads for the lamppost, but sadly not much in the way of tiles. The minifigures Very generously, for a set this size, we're given four minifigures to play with. Of the most value are the torsos for the children: the Bright Green jacket only appearing in last year's City Advent Calendar as well as this year's Winter Village Cottage, and the Medium Blue jacket appearing in the Winter Village Post Office as well as the Cottage. Both higly desirable torsos in my book. I can't help but be a little concerned - and this is something I had an issue with in the Winter Village Cottage - that whomever at LEGO decided to give a young girl boobies. Le cheval This is actually the first time I've gotten hold of the new minifigure-scale horse, which was introduced in the Lord of the Rings theme. For those who don't know: this new horse has the ability to rear (stand on its hind legs), while still looking similar to the old-style horses. One other difference is that both the neck and back legs "snap" into place. Anyway, the set makes it possible to display the horse on its own, by providing a 1x2 brick to place inside it (as shown above). For the assembly of the set - the horse pulling the sleigh - we require two 1x2 plates mounted on top of the grey piece, as shown here. One issue I have with this feature is that the set only includes one 1x2 tile, which means it will have to be switched between the plates and brick. This means a greater likelihood of losing the tile, resulting in an incomplete horse, if we're not careful. The Build The sleigh In a twist of events, we're actually going to build the main part of the set first. The base of the sleigh is the 4x6 Red plate, with some other smaller plates to get the shape going. I've actually attached the front two plates incorrectly in this picture(!). Because I was too lazy to disassemble the horse from the previous photo, here's the next stage of the sleigh attached to the horse. If it wasn't so unstable, it might actually be fun to ride this way. This assembly, using the Technic parts and a Bright Green flower plate, form the decorations for the sleigh. Possibly the equivalent of "go faster" stripes. We're virtually done with Red as the finishing touches to the sleigh are added. The horse is starting to buckle under the pressure - we'd better add some supports! Well here they are. While it may have been too much to bring back the large ski parts, these look a little too basic for my tastes. What are the alternatives though? Here's the complete sleigh along with a very relieved horse. I've actually forgotten to add one part at this point, namely the 1x2 Red panel that separates the passengers from the driver. As pictured in the set, here's a rather pleasant vision of a one-horse open sleigh, complete with privileged single mother and child, and a driver cracking a whip. There really must be something going on with the presence of whips in Winter sets: stay tuned for the 50 Shades of Light Bluish Grey special edition. Scenery All of the White plates and cheese slopes - as well as the brick - go into making this patch of scenery to accompany the sleigh. Using the remainder of the Reddish Brown parts, this tried and tested bench design is assembled. Lamppost In addition to the tradition of including different lamppost designs with each Winter Village set, we have another one here. This time we have two Black SNOT bricks stacked on top of each other on the lamppost, with one of them serving as supports for the lamps. The other SNOT brick is uses to suspend the leafy plant part, used to represent a holly leaf - complete with holly berries - on the lamppost. It's an all right design, but may have benefited from a single SNOT brick with four studs instead of the two with two studs. Both the lamppost and the bench sit on top of the snow patch, and all that's left is to add... ...the little girl and the two small trees. The Complete Set Here's the entire scene, and it really is a complete scene. One can imagine the rows of houses, maybe a frozen pond and some trees surrounding it, in the background. Leftovers Quite a few spare parts are left, but nothing incredibly ground breaking apart from the Bright Green flower plate. The 1x2 Reddish Brown brick is a leftover from the horse, assuming it's carrying the sleigh. The instructions Other than the nice-looking covers, which match the box art, the instructions look exactly the same as any other set - though they match the yellow border, blue background design of larger instruction manuals. There is nothing of any note inside it: no adverts, promotions or even our beloved Gewinne!son. The Verdict In all honesty, although I thought it was a nice set from the pictures that surfaced, I wasn't as enthusiastic about it as most people were when it was announced. I saw this purely as a set I'd want to part out for the more interesting pieces, whatever they were. Having gotten the set at the VIP event preceding Brick Friday, my mind hasn't changed much. For me the highlight of this set is the lamppost, as well as the inclusion of four minifigures, when a set at this price would usually have two at the most. Given that regular Red is the predominant colour in this set, I'd guess that the minifigures make up the bulk of the price, whereas it was the inclusion of Dark Red parts in last year's promotional sets. Dark Red instead of Red in this set wouldn't have changed my perception of it. I personally don't have much use for horses, although this is a good opportunity to get hold of the new-style horse if you don't have one. The lack of an extra 1x2 Reddish Brown tile may cause problems for those who want to play with the horse as well as have it on display. Where I will agree with other people is that it makes a very good inclusion in Winter Village scenes, especially if you have all four buildings. Even if the little girl has had a visible growth spurt, none of these figures would look out of place with any of the buildings. As with last year's Holiday sets, there isn't going to be an overall score or rating. However, I would rate this set as being right between Holiday Set 1 and 2 in terms of desirability. If I do get hold of another one, it would be to put in the vault. Here's to a Merry Christmas, and the most Christmassy image I could think of at the moment.

LEGO® CUUSOO 空想 - Turn your model wishes into reality
SilentMode replied to CopMike's topic in General LEGO Discussion
How many "FOLs" are guilty of both? Too many. -
There doesn't seem to be a dedicated thread on here about this year's STEAM, so I created this one to show a couple of videos. This one's mine: This one was made by Infinite 8, who were also there on the Saturday with some expensive-looking equipment, and is slightly higher quality: Enjoy.
