Twitted it to all my followers and beyond!

I really like the new Kingdoms line, but ltes face it: it needs the Forestmen badly!

Any line with neon colors. 'Nuff said.

Hail, friends! I see a lot of people saying they like the Dragons best (maybe it's the underdog thing), and I see many Black Falcons MOCs. These started me wondering who the favourites are: Cruzaders or Black Falcons? The new Lions or the Dragons? And why? I like both the Crusaders and the Black Falcons just the same, and in my Legoverse they were two good factions that would eventually engage into war. Sometimes against each other, sometimes against someone else. As for today, the Lions are the good guys. The Dragons seem to be invaders of some sort, and they are probably the villains - but who knows? So, whom do you prefer - Crusaders or Black Falcons, Lions or Dragons? And why? (I couldn't just find a way to place a poll, sorry )

There's no such thing as 4+figs. Move along, now. Move along. Nothing to see here.

It brings warm feelings to my heart.

Yesterday all my theories about the 2010 World Cup came down. Hard. But I guess that's the beauty of football. I'll risk a guess, though (no more logic, only guesses from now on): Uruguay beats the Netherlands and moves ahead to the finals. Deutschland beats Argentina. Paraguay beats Spain (I ALWAYS support Paraguay!) and then beats Deutschland and wins the 2010 World Cup over Uruguay.

Hail, friends! The day I opened this thread I also e-mailed Lego. Today I got an answer: "Dear Gustavo, Thanks for getting in touch with us. It is so good to hear from enthusiasts like yourself; you certainly seem to know a lot about our products. Our new Kingdom series have replaced the Castle series, and at present there's no plans for this to be discontinued. With regards to LEGO Hero factory, this is sort of an replacement of LEGO Bionicle, although the story line is somewhat different. Again there no plans to discontinue this product, and at present this will not be merged with any of our other products. I hope this information has been of use to you, and please do not hesitate to take contact with us again, should you have other queries or comments you would like to share with us. Best wishes, Eva Bundgaard LEGO Direct"

Wow! Just great! Good work!

That's what I think too. I guess the guy was completely misinformed - or mixed everything he heard the worse and most confusing way possible.

Yeah, I would be shocked too - but I can't just believe it.

Hail, friends! Today I was at Hamleys (in London) and I was surprised that there were almost no sets of the new Kingdoms line - there was the new King's Castle, yes, the Prison Tower Rescue and Prison Carriage Rescue. As there was no Outpost Attack, the set I went there to buy, I asked an employee there if they were getting new sets any time soon. The answer? "I don't think so - some lines are being cancelled and Castle is one of them. It will be merged with Bionicle and there will only be one line called Lego Hero Factory." You can imagine how I felt - after the longest of Dark Ages, when I'm finally back to my senses - and to Lego! -, the line I fell in love with is being cancelled? I couldn't just believe so... So I searched all over the internet - and read the EB thread on Hero Factory and I came to the conclusion that yes, Castle is being cancelled, but that's just because we have the new Kingdoms line. That's what happens from time to time: a new Castle, Kingdom or Kingdoms line replaces the old Castle, Kingdom or Kingdoms one. But merging with Bionicle? We can have Bionicle heroes with swords, lances and shield and stuff, but merging the two lines? That sounds just stupid! Crazyness! But anyway - I couldn't find anything about that "merging" thing, so here I am, looking for more information - do you have any? Please, please, please with sugar on top? Anything? Can it really be that Kingdoms is already coming to an end? I cannot - and I shall not - believe that! Remember: there's an Advent Calendar for the new Kingdoms line coming up later this year... I can't believe the line is already coming to an end.

Hail, friends! When I was a kid, I loved playing in the water - with GIJoe, Playmobil and, of course, with Lego too! I even designed a couple of buildings that could go underwater and others that part was meant to go underwater (I used to play in the sink, in my neighbor's swimming pool, but never in the sea - although my parents didn't have a bathtube, my granny did, and it was just great to pay with my Lego there). So one of these days I said to myself "I can't be the only one" - so here I am, posting... Did you use to play with your Lego in water, too? And today, do you have any MOCs meant to be in the water or that are in the water? Any links you'd like to share (to your or someone else's pics)? I personally love water dioramas - be it GIJoe, Playmobil or Lego... But it's so hard to find anything with REAL water...

It's just great. The red color gets even better with the Lion minifigs around. It's just an awesome set, and you should get it ASAP.

Yep, that's it: every building has layers that can be removed.

I was about to get my camouflage stuff and hop in when I realized it was a Lego MOC. I'm pretty sure I heard someone (Luke? Leia?) calling out for a mission in the distant moon of Endor...

That's exactly wht I mean, and I even linked this very same MOC (yours!) in my first post

Wow! That's huge! An airport sounds like a good idea. As the population increases, I guess you'll have to build some more buildings to make room for all the newcomers.

Hail friends! The Green Grocer, Cafe Corner, Grand Emporium are just great. But I think they lack better interiors. Although we do see some pretty nice interiors in MOCs, that doesn't seem to be a rule. Do you have any links to modular buildings - or any building - with interiors yoou use as an example for you or that oyu just find cool? Could you please share them?

Hail friends! I`ve been looking at all the great MOC/WIP work around (here and on the internet) and there are some pretty awesome modular buildings. Things is: most of them are City themed! I haven't seen many Castle/Western/Pirate ones! I know that when we say 'modular Castle' people usually understand 'uniting different sets/MOCs with technic bricks', but what I mean is 'modular' as in Green Grocer, Cafe Corner, Grand Emporium and all the great modular City MOCs around. I could only find a few of those, like this one (not just modular, but beautiful and sawesome!): http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/129194. Not many others TBQH. Any links or comments on why we don't see that many modular-castle-city-sense?

I think it looks great. I think you just exagerated a bit on the number of cannons.

Looks great! It's great to see some interiors - that's what I miss the most on the official sets.

WOW! That's great!

Great! Thx for the interior pics! Looks really great!

Wow! Awesome! Creepy! Great! Heavy! Keep up the good work - they say that if it causes an impression, you're on the right path.
