Ah, great, another contest! This time I will win! The firetruck I am entering is a model I made some time ago shortly after the release of the new Firestation and has been discussed here on Eurobricks in this thread. It is, although equipped with a ladder, still a regular firetruck as used by the firedepartment in my homecity of Amsterdam Holland. (Click to enlarge) May the best firetrucker win! :-)

That was also what I was thinking, and I believe TLC will release some sort of bulldozer in the nearby future, something with a remote control? ;-) :-D

Hello community, While browsing Brickshelf I came across this great little bulldozer: it uses some inventive techniques and very clever construction details and combined with a good colorscheme it works out pretty well, I think. I thought I might as well share it with the community, so here it is: See for yourself. Picture is link to Brickshelf gallery, enjoy!

Welcome Crazydance from Nijmegen! I am sure you will enjoy helping us Dutch people in taking over this forum *skull* That's the spirit!

I understand you! (Or am I not supposed to say that? :-D ) I believe the Lego moviemakerset from a couple of years ago came with some practical software for making movies. I do not own the set, but perhaps one can download this program somewhere? Good luck in movie making and make sure to show your film after completion.

Yes, yes! Me too, those things cost a fortune on BL! Some Christmas sets would indeed be nice, I like the idea of having a market (a market can also be used on lots of other occasions). Merry Christmas in advance!

Thanks, fellow citizen, for this great review (If only I had snagged some of those 3D glasses at the Legoland Windsor movie theater last month... :-( ) I like how Lego made use of that white "crowsnest part" to attach the wheel to the axle. Good parts pack this one, but I will wait for the Bulldozer to come out to acquire some of those new motors. :-)

FINALLY I got it! :'-) :'-) My copy of the 8421 Technic Crane (why does it never go on sale here in Holland??) Anyway, I bought it off some people who gave up putting the set together after buying it for their 9 (!) year old son last year. It is complete, the parts are sorted by color by the seller and it came with unused stickersheet. Box and instructions included, of course, and even six batteries. All this for just 75 euro's. :-)

That is soooo unfair, I have none..... :-/

It seems to me that our community has doubled the past three days, according to all the "Hello my name is.." topics created... Anyway, that doesn't make you less welcome, so welcome Some guy, from the most beautiful country there is! :-)

We are a family friendly forum, so welcome! I am sure you will enjoy it here even more turning from an observer into a participant! :-)

Yes, we discussed it before, but this film is always worth watching over and over again so thanks for re-posting it! ;-)

Wow..! 8-

Can you post a link to the S@H offer? Or is it US only, I can't find it on shop at home Europe. Thanks.

I recently bought ten of those 90 piece bags in Legoland Windsor for only 4,50 euro a bag. 900 1x1 pieces for 4,5 euro, great deal! So yes there is a cheaper way, it just depends on where you live.

I saw this one on brickshelf as well and was going to post it but didn't found the time... Great someone else did. This indeed is a good collection of pirates, I will not consider buying it as a whole but I am interested in the 6250 Crossbone Clipper. Let's wait and see how it turns out.

I just bought a second hand copy of set nr 4549 in dusty but very good condition, it looks like the set has never been disassembled so after a little cleaning it will look as new again. It has all stickers, perfect instruction booklet and the front and back cover of the original box 40 euros, so really cheap, on BL it will set you back a fortune... X-D

Congratulations to the winner with his six-wide policecar I never doubted the six wide winningpotential but still had the urge of submitting an eight-wide van to the contest... *skull* and I actually received some votes: thanks for that, community! I can't wait for the firetrucks contest to begin!

If I understand you correctly you are not so much troubled by lego-quality issues, but merely by some discordancies involving the storyline. Therefor I don't think the title of this thread is subtitled the right way. Now let's face it: In my Lego-collection (not involving Bionicle) I own about 1000 minifigures, more than half of these figs have the same face: the standard lego grin pattern. Never had any problems with that... I understand your rage, but when put in perspective I would say: live with it or leave the Bionicle playsets sets on the storeshelfs where they belong (IMO). ;-)

Welcome, Marius, to Eurobricks! How nice to welcome yet another Dutch member to our friendly forum, I am sure you will enjoy it here. Do you have any creations to show to the community? :-)

Queen - The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke. *y*

I don't know wether that store has anything special or not but while you're there anyway I would certainly pay it a visit. It can't hurt, can it? Bonne nuit!

Wow thanks! That must have taken the creator a long time to complete, I would like that poster hanging from my wall!

I spent some days in Germany and visited the Legostore in Cologne there. I bought a My Own train expansion package to switch the color of my Large-train-engine-with-tender from black to green (those polybags were only 2.99 a piece) Furthermore ten blue Model Team doors in a polybag. As usual I was looking for a dusty old toystore and I found one along the river Rhine, that is where I bought this Indian in a "canoe" and the Oasis Ambush: (click) I already owned the Oasis Ambush, but this oe in Germany included a casette tape with a Johnny Thunder Story on it, quite nice to have and a good storyline.
