You're forgetting the LOTR ring (as already mentioned), and the crystals. Also gold, silver, clear transparent, transparent red or transparent blue 1 x 1 round plates. See the Color Guide on Bricklink for more gold or silver elements. There's no reason you can't have jewels in both the museum and the store, because one only displays them, while the other sells them.

It certainly looks like the HO Scale, VW Minibus with Red Base

That was a great operation, Simon. You truly started a new tradition for Brickworld. What do you think about creating a Google map to see where the frogs went exploring?

The sunflowers look beautiful.

Interesting experiment. You could also test the effect of element density, i.e. varying the size of the box with the same number of bricks. The correct term is "clutch power" in English.

The Sandcrawler was denied, but the Portal set was still under evaluation.

Interesting new elements are: - 48 x 48 Baseplate in blue - 1 x 1 Cheeseslope in dark tan - 1 x 2 Cheeseslope in dark tan - 1 x 3 Tile in dark tan - 1 x 1 Tile in dark tan (possible) - 1 x 3 Slope in dark tan - 1 x 4 Curved slope in dark tan It's only a shame we weren't allowed to auction it. EDIT (16 June): I checked the model yesterday evening, and what looked like 1 x 1 Tiles in dark tan where actually 1 x 2 Tiles in dark tan.

ROFLOL

Can we eat it afterwards?

Apart from the meeting at Brickworld you mean?

Just search for the title on Amazon.

(trying to look innocent...)

What the hell am I doing here? "Loser"?

Congratulations with your promotion, Ecclesiastes!

It was great meeting old friends and meeting new friends. We haven't seen any stau. That may be because we arrived at 6 AM on Sunday morning (+/- half a hour). After a couple of hours sleep, frantically building, and another couple of hours, I just arrived in Chicago. I can't wait for Brickworld. Ps. Both suitcases were 22 kg, mostly LEGO

Making a list, checking it twice... I have for people Holodoc 10x Light Brick - €10 Dfenz 10x Light Brick - €10

Yes, yes!!!! I am a sucker for event bricks. I have to start reinforcing my badge.

Cola for me. I know, I know, I am boring... I will probable be the only sane person at the event.

Very good!

That's a very nice building. The interior of the Apple Store is brilliant, as is the apartment.
