    Who let the dogs out? ;-) A colourful, cheerful, crowned canine takes centre stage in the winning design as our official poster for the 2018 Adelaide Fringe. Originally Created by Sydney-based graphic designer Jacqueline Daniel, the poster celebrates the Year of the Dog with a balloon version of the Chinese horoscope. Ms Daniel, whose winning design was picked out of more than 300 submissions, said 2018 would be the year for Fringe-goers to unleash their festive spirit. “My poster design is about crowning everyone who joins in on the festival and unleashes themselves into the night,” she said. “With the jewels of the festival to light their way, they will experience the true treasures of the Adelaide Fringe.” Adelaide Fringe Director and CEO Heather Croall said the design was a perfect fit given next year’s festival opening would coincide with Chinese New Year celebrations and the Year of the Dog. “We asked poster competition entrants to represent the playful, inclusive and cheeky spirit of the Adelaide Fringe, and we feel that Jacqueline’s design has really embraced that brief,” Ms Croall said. “She has given us a quirky new mascot with a royal flair and surrounded by diamonds to highlight that the Adelaide Fringe is the jewel in the crown of Australian arts festivals.” In keeping with Adelaide Fringe’s open access nature, there is a long history of the official poster being chosen from a design competition that anyone from around the world can enter. This year saw over 300 entries submitted. The festival will run from 16 February until 18 March. This is the second time a poster coincided with a Chinese horoscope (2007's celebrated the Year of the Pig).

    I'm so excited for this one!

    I've built mine a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely awesome! It is the tallest/longest model in my collection! Though the LUT didn't get approved, someone might provide a link to the building guide of their OC.

    So LEGO is getting really sharp this year. As most of you know, it's a big surprise.

    Perhaps they opted to break their promise and retire the gallery instead.

    YAY! :-D

    You know, some things are worth waiting for months! So much for anticipation, that's for sure!

    Saw better quality preliminary pics of the 2nd Wave models on Facebook a few days ago. Love at First Sight!

    Mine came in the mail today! And I enjoyed my time building this yard-long piece of plastic intricacy! BTW, as Photobucket no longer authorizes their embedding of images for standard members, can the original author change over to either Imgur, Brickshelf or Flickr? This restriction has become the biggest trivial problem with millions of users around the globe, especially those who use the internet as a career rather than a hobby.

    I really want LDD to have the latest elements!

    Hopefully a week after the new year starts, it'll be back online. You know, we do have to take Christmas Breaks!

    Imagine If... (In Mitcham & Burnside) still has a few for $180.

    Unfortunately, due to it being presently Out Of Sock, I didn't get it for Xmas but I can either wait until it's restocked or have it bought online. In the new year before I return to work, I'll make room for more LEGO in the closet of my work room.

    Indeed, August as usual! (That's the month before my birthday comes!)

    If it is a backhoe, is likely to be a JCB 3CX!

    Please be patient folks!

    Saw it on display at Toy Corner and it's Two Feet (or a Yard/Metre) Tall!

    Really?! I'm assuming it's not clickbait.

    They're impossible to fix due to the lack of spares. It is an assault on history and it's totally disagreeable.

    I also have two motors that don't work anymore, the red Micro Motor from 6979 and the Mini Motor from 8735. I assume the parts inside the Mini Motor have been seized and now it's dead. And I don't know why the red micro motor gave up in the first place.

    If I remember correctly, it didn't make that noise when I first bought it. So I assume the small white gear on the motor spindle has split due to 'plastic fatigue' and slips only when the output shaft is held.

    Hi there, I've noticed whilst testing 'Electric Technic Motor 9V Geared 480rpm' (47154) http://peeron.com/inv/parts/47154, it was making a strange buzzing noise whilst going both clockwise and anti-clockwise. Could this mean one or more of the internal gears are failing? Thankfully, there are four thin screws on the bottom which allow the motor to be taken apart. Are replacement gears obtainable? If not, then I have to have them either 3D Printed or cast in a silicone mold. Thanks.
