True... but this is topic and this one only is focused on dreams about the past

What's wrong with Hook? I absolutely love that movie! I can't understand why is it so underrated to a point where even Spielberg hates it. I guess that the movie simply wasn't lucky, bad press, bad timing or something, can't get the reason really. If it was a succes than everyone would still love it. But seriously, it's got some of the most amazing picture-music-art design sequences in the history of cinematography. Definitely one of the best movies Spielberg has ever made. Probably the most magical one, right after ( of even before ) E.T. It has something to do with this global unexplainable hate that some people get and can't get rid off. Like with Cutthroat Island. And still, Cutthroat Island had some major problems, lucked few things while Hook is great great great overall... well, I've never liked Rufio to tell the truth On the other hand, a lot of todays classic watched over and over used to be hated and detested, banned when they came out. So why are they now praised, while some others are still cursed. Not to mention of course that Hook was NOT A FLOP... it was a pretty huge succes in the cinemas

Wow. That's a pretty great collection. No wonder You wanna keep it Anyway, You're most welcome to visit our forums. There're some interesting discusions going in with pirates and other, hopefully You'll find something for Yourself, and contribute as well Welcome to Eurobricks

You're most welcome Still, i guess we should pass the aht round and buy us our own country Emirate of Lego, or a Federate Republic of Bricks Heh, it would be fun to live in a community of afols and focus on things we like the most Still, Lego is just one of many things in our life, and we have to go trough a lot of other, whether we like it or not

That's pretty wise actually Still, there's a lot of topics when we can discuss freely, everyone has a right to have own opinion so... No worries. And everyone begins somewhere, usualy with no bricks and to knowledge at all, just an interest and a dream to bring back childhood memories

Hello Khaled, and thank You for sharing this with us. I wish You all the best for 2015, hopefully Your situation will improve both as a fan of Lego and as a person of course Well, we've all been listening to a lot of crazy stuff going on there in Your contry. It's very sad that politics, economy and hate can make such turmoils, break into someone's life, take away things and dreams. People who live in "quiet" countries don't even understand and imagine that someone could suddenly take away their everyday toys and tv shows and fresh shower But it's great to see that You have not surrendered and You still have Your dreams. That's the most important thing, one can have, and it's most important never to have it taken from us. Therefore i wish You Your dreams could come true, and You could be a 100% Afol again. A lot of new sets and themes comming out in 2015. Among them Pirates so hopefully You will be able to have fun with them again. And of course, see You at the boards!

My pleasure And thanks. Looking to see You on our forums and talking about a lot of topics

Welcome to Eurobricks Clement Good to have You with us! Enjoy

Welcome to Eurobricks Enjoy!

Seriously, are you guys even reading what i'm saying? Playmobil?? I've been saying this since being a member of Eurobricks since 2007 - exactly that Lego has been turning into Playmobil! Look at Chima, City, Ninjago, , Agents, Space, or City, and dolls from Friends or Elves - those are already Playmobil-like, or Transformers-like, or GIJoe-like creations, and that's what i absolutely hate aboout TLG. As it's doing the exactly oposite thing to creativity and simplicity that Lego used to be all about! And on the other hand, seriously, i don't see a reason why not to create a new long boat mold. And Uou're sayign that it's expensive? They've made dozens or hundreds of needles expensive and large molds! Not mentioning dragons, trolls, goblin king and others. Those have a VERY VERY LIMITED USE. So what's the problem with a long boat? Someone could say this about every brick that Lego produced during last 20 years. Someone could say that even rowboats are not needed, or horses because they've used to be made out of different bricks You know! Yes, but creativity is more for users. And i've already said that in this topic like a doze of times! Making a one piece part is a lazy option? Did You really write this? What's lazy about making some nice usable molds? I am trying to find a reason why You've come with this idea, but can't find it anywhere And i do will argue about Smaug. I've already said that clearly that it's up to Lego, it's their property and they have a right to do whatever they want. But this doesn't change the fact that todays Lego is turning into exactly what it should not be. And finding that Lego was about simplicity and creativity i stronly believe that one piece longboat would fit that franchise much more than one piece monsters. Those great creatures fit more into Playmobil than lego itself. Period. I've already explained that above more than once, what's wrong. That's my opinion and it's my right to give my opinion. Whenever it's negative or positive. And I gave arguments to support it. Seriously guys, it seems that You're all defending TLG furiously, while i'm not attacking anyone here. I'm just saying about what I don't like, and why i don't like. You can all agree or disagree, whatever. But i want this discussion to go somewhere, while all i can see is that everyone is using same old same old arguments about one piece molds, about creativity, and even playmobil... arguments that stand in exact opposition to what I've been saying now and what i've been saing fot years while being a Eurobricks member. Let's start behaving and respecting other people's believes and opinions. And let's start reading other peoples posts with understanding. Without looking for a way to strike against someone's words. This a place to have fun and a friendly conversation, that would build up something in all of us. Maybe i'm am a bit of a dreamer, an idealist, but wanted to share that thought with You.

Definitely i'd prefer a longboat, instead of that unncecessary Smaug Seriously a minifigure is a minifigure, an animal is an animal, a long boat - fine new mold, would be a pleasure to have... and than comes this huge expensive dragon. Whatever people like. If someone likes a huge one-brick toy and sees ways to use it and play with it, than it's ok we me. If someone is a fan of Hobbit and would like to have a Smaug just to have it, cause it's Hobbit's Smaug than it's ok as well. But personally, i would never release such huge things Of course you can make a use of two rowboats but does it mean that you wouldn't do the same with one new long boat? Every brick and every mold can serve in a lot of ways. And so could a long boat. And i'd really like to have one of them instead of a fleet of rowboat But i've already said that... but this is the kind of creativity that amateurs should do. What i mean is that we've seen a lot of people here makingg tons of great customs they felt that would be needed. Like animals etc. And so i think that some things should be molded. They've made an unnecessary new type of horse and a lot of others, so why not a long boat? A lot of things shouldn't, but long boat is a thing i would definitely like to get. And of course - Lego is about Creativity. But not necessarily TLG itself. But does TLG know that? It's samowhat an irony for me that they create a long boat out of two rowboats when at the same time we get ridicilous amounts of sets and constructions with bricks made just for these partucular sets. Like planes, trains, automobiles. It's not fun making to them anymore, since they get a lot of "easy" parts.

Actually often having too much time can drive You crazy Being a freelancer it's sometimes harder to enjoy weekends when You sometimes can have them every day But, aside from building and dreaming about bricks You say? Watching movies of course, used to read a lot of books but it's much harder for me to concentrate, but I write a lot, movie scripts, novels. Other than that, I of course enjoy sports, music, travel, well anything in a nice company of course, btu then it's sometimes hard to find even a smallest bunch of friends, well, find one good friend is pretty tough actually

I didn't buy any sets. Only some lego star wars movies. Does it count?

Good to have You with us! Welcome to Eurobricks

White uniforms then i guess? Maybe brown for artillery and hussars?

I am not a Lego historian I don't care how many times TLG has done. It's simply my opinion that it looked cheaply and confused me. I don't mind whether people like it or care about it. But i do personally believe that it would be wiser to make a new mold of a long boat. Period.
