Thank you very much! I´m really glad this had such a good start. Hope you all will stick to this till the end Not too many votes cast so far, but it already seems like noone thinks the walls that every shot from the Robots is able to pierce through should be reinforced. Fair enough. And it seems there´s almost an equal need of more firepower and more manpower. Cool. Please don´t forget to mention here if you want to have your own MOC or idea featured in the story!

I really, REALLY like the shape of this ship. It derivates completely from all the other Blacktron2 ships, but still has some very Blacktronique elements to it, like the razorblades in front, held by the chunky supports, as the Tri-Wheeled BL2 vehicle has. The only thing I don´t like is the heavy use of white and less black. I think BL2 should be the other way round. Most black and some white highlights.

Well, what do they always say? Form follows function. It has a nice shape and an interesting color scheme, but the functionality of those "wings" is completely beyond me. Not any good for atmospheric flight and completely useless in spaceflight.

Looks very BattleTech´ish! But I agree about the balance. Maybe you should try to have the legs more in the middle instead of far to the rear. I like the greeble and weapons and I especially like the different angles you used for those. How did you do that?

So, are you taking this thing here completely apart and rebuild it? Or will you keep it for the bigger ships?

Well, if the PaB is equally big as in Günzburg..... My wife always wanted a reason to get to Britain, so this would be the perfect opportunity for us to finally make it to the island.

Boo! Well, at least it was fun to have pokey, spikey bricks in my pocket all the time

Sorry, but how cool looking those sets may ever be, they are WAY too overpriced. Even if buying the parts via BL I guess you will only have to pay half the original price. If at least!

Glad you like it! I forgot to add to the "rules" that only folks who post in the weeks thread will be in the raffle to participate with their own MOCs - if they want to The more postings, the more likely I

It took quite some time for developing the right concept of Project Sentai Mountain. Too much time actually, for which I apologize. But I wanted to make it right and for everyone to have fun and join the scene. The concept of PSM is to continue the storyarch TLG offered, while adding a big bunch of AFOLism. I´ll provide a basic story and a Poll where YOU can decide how to continue the story. Each poll will be open exactly one week and after that the story continues. In addition to the given poll, everyone is invited to post suggestions how to continue the story. I´ve got the basic storyline laid out, but there´s always room for improvments Each weeks story will give some suggestions as how to continue the story. The choices will be posted in the poll. In addition, each week will feature a new MOC. Be it a new Mecha, a vehicle, a weapon, a device... Maybe even new characters. That´s how the story works. Now to the AFOLism part. The whole meaning of PSM is to not only continue the storyline, but also to rebuild the Sentai Headquarter the way an AFOL would have built it. Think UCS Millenium Falcon. This will be implemented in the storyline, too. And you may chose which part(s) of the Sentai Headquarters will get the AFOL treatment. To be perfectly honest, this will not only take much time, it also will cost me a fortune So please be patient with me if I don´t offer these options too often in the polls And to add another bit to the interactivity, each week one individual may be chosen secretly to either build for real or plan a digital MOC (LDD, Ldraw...) of their choice to be featured in the story. e.g. a futuristic workbench for Mechas, a support vehicle, maybe even parts of a command center... Human side, robot side, the secret individual decides and I will have to implement it in the story. Building instructions for each weeks MOC(s) will be made and posted, too. And now, to finally start the story, here´s the Beginning of Project Sentai Mountain (as posted before ) The Beginning of Project Sentai Mountain "We need to rescue Sensei Keiken!" Hikaru shouted, much to the others surprise. Hikaru wasn´t known to be impulsive, but at this moment, Ryo and Takeshi literally had to hold him back from jumping into his Sky Guardian and to take off for a rescue mission. "We will rescue him", Takeshi grunted, while Hikaru was trying to get lose from his grip. "But we need a battle plan first!" Slowly, Hikaru calmed down a bit. Of course, a battle plan. This was his part of the action. Being the mind of the combat team. A battle plan. Ryo shook his head. "We have no idea at all where the Robots may have taken Sensei, nor where this mysterious Golden City Outpost might be located." Hikaru agreed. "Furthermore, if we take off to this rescue mission, the Golden City will be defenseless." Hitomi was about to protest, but Hikaru quickly went on: "No offense, Hitomi. I know you´re a skilled fighter and a brave Mech-pilot." - "Yeah, but to be honest, Hikaru, Ha-Ya-To and Takeshi are far more experienced in battle than both of us", Ryo explained. "The Golden City doesn´t stand a chance against the robots if the Exo-Force isn´t there to protect it." Hitomi sighed. Ryo was right. Although she knew the Golden Cities defense technology like no other, they just weren´t enough to match the firepower of the Robot forces if they decided for another attack. "But what can we do?" she shouted. "Sensei gave us new Mechs", Takeshi said. "This means we have the Sky Guardian, the Aero Booster, the Blade Titan and the Cyclone Defender to spare. And with the recently discovered army of Golden Guardians, this should give us some time to improve on our defense system. Ryo, Hitomi, do you think you can make up something?" "Of course!" the two shouted as if one-mouthed, then looked at each other and had to grin. They were back in action again. "Hikaru, Takeshi and I will check our new Mechs", Ha-Ya-To said. "I´m calling dibs on the River Dragon! Such a cool machine!" "Do that!" Ryo agreed. "Hitomi and I will try to invent some new stationary weapons for the Golden City walls. They are basically defenseless." Ryo didn´t even finish his sentence, as a sudden energy blast shook the outer wall and let it explode. "We´re under attack!" Takeshi screamed, as his reflexes took over and made him jump into the Blade Titan. "Takeshi, what are you doing?" Hikaru shouted. "We need to test the new machines, and this is the perfect opportunity!" "You´re right. Let´s go for it!" "Ryo, quick! We need to start working now!" Hitomi ordered, as another shot made the walls crumble and personell ran around to man the Golden Guardians. Hitomi and Ryo ran as fast as they could into Ryos Workshop. They were perfectly sure that the Exo-Force would fight back the Robots again this time, but they needed to improve the Golden City defense system. Another blast! A direct hit! They heard the high energy beams humming before it pierced a hole into the workshops wall. The explosion followed soon after and bricks scattered the floor. Ryo reacted quickly! Immediatly he ran to Hitomi to protect her, before the shockwave hit them. "Agh, get off of me!" Hitomi coughed as the dust filled her lungs. "You´re welcome!" Ryo smiled. Another humming! "U-Oh..." was all Ryo could say, before another energy beam pierced through the hole. This explosion even bigger than the first one. "They must have some kind of automatic targeting system!" Hitomi shouted and activated her commlink. "Hikaru for Hitomi, come in!" - "Hikaro here, I´m listening! What´s up?" the answer came promptly. Quickly Hitomi informed the Chameleon Hunter pilot about her theory. "Copied!" came Hikarus short answer and immediatly he passed the info to Ha-Ya-To. "We need to find the source of those energy beams and get Ryo and Hitomi some time!" After the dust cleared of, Ryo rose up from the ground to examine the damage. A giant hole in the workshops outer wall. But to his big surprise, the opposite wall sported another hole. What surprised Ryo about this was the fact that whatever was behind the wall lied in total darkness, although it was a perfectly bright day. A hidden room? "Hitomi! Flashlights!" he snapped and moved towards the hole. Carefully watching that he wouldn´t stand in the direct line between the two holes, if another energy beam would pierce through the walls. But a distant explosion of something giant convinced him that the source of those energy beams must have been vaporized. "Target destroyed!" Hikarus voice came in from the commlink to confirm Ryos conviction. Hitomi showed up at Ryos side, handing him a flashlight. They switched on their flashlights and two powerful beams of light cut through the darkness. But the dust and the total darkness behind the walls were too thick even for two flashlights. "See that? Wires in the concrete. Undamaged." Ryo was unusually monosyllabic. "There must be some kind of energy floating through these walls. I wonder what lies behind..." "Let´s find out", Hitomi whispered and pulled out a small machine out of her pockets. She moved the machine towards the wire and the machine automatically connected itself with it. Hitomi then pushed some buttons and the small display read "Luminating System". "Jackpot!" she smiled and pushed another button. With a distant humming sound the darkness started to vanish, as the old Golden City electronics started to illuminate what appeared to be a big hall, a hangar. And inside... "You got it, Hitomi. Jackpot!" Ryo agreed. The room indeed was a hangar. And it housed a dozen of sleek, winged and armed Mini-Flyers. "Wow!" Hitomi whispered in awe, as she walked towards the next Mini-Flyer for a closer inspection. "Careful!" Ryo warned, but Hitomi didn´t even listen. She climbed into the pilots seat, switched on the machines and fired up the engine. Immediatly the small flying vehicle rose up several feet above the ground. "That´s awesome, Ryo!" Hitomi smiled all over her face. "Inform the others. We´ve got reinforcements coming in! Get some pilots in here quickly! I´ll see where the hangar doors are. There have to be some after all!" The Exo Force has several options now. Please participate in the poll to chose what they will do next.

I´d just try superglue... Some of my Exoforce sets are losing their stickers, especially when applied to round bricks. That can be frustrating...

I´m sorry if I have offended you. I actually like the Netherlands. Everyone should visit each and every spot of it, while it´s still there I mean, seriously. Everyone has 15 minutes to spare for this

Well... With all the climatic changes, everyone knows that Amsterdam will be under water in a few years

I´m modding some sets to fit my town layout. And I made an interior for my Cafe Corner - but since there was basically nothing in there before, does that count as modding/improving or is that already MOCing?

Nope, you failed. You said 2 hours! How did you build it? From each bag individually or did you throw all the bricks on one big pile? My wife built it from the bags and needed 5 hours, but she isn´t well trained. I needed app. 4 to 5 hours after I dismantled the village and threw everything on one pile. Well, I didn´t really stop the time but I managed to watch 2 movies during that time. And my sister tried too and needed 7 hours from a big pile, but she also isn´t trained well.

truck, tractor, all the same...

And I totally envy you. Once someone told me about the 20% discount with a Merlin card I was constantly hoping to find someone with this card. I even bumped into you when you were leaving, misunderstood you for leaving the event now and didn´t want to bother you with that matter, as it would have taken some time to chose the bricks... Evening came and nobody with a Merlin card to be found, I finally was at the Fabrik PaB at 18:30 - when the shop normally would have closed at 18:00! I just had the chance to rush in, grab a bag and put as many parts in there as possible without really chosing or counting. But boy was I surprised to find that a big bag of bricks really wasnßt that expensive after all. Best PaB ever! I would have loved to stay in the PaB for at least half an hour longer. So much stuff I missed... I didn´t buy small legs at PaB... I have to doublecheck what the heck I have in my bag What truck? This truck

They were selfprinted, so you might want to ask him if he could just send you the pdf. Oh, and there is stuff missing in your list. The city foldout poster, the Maersk DSS and I think 1 tan small legs. And weren´t the 1x1 light blue bricks supposed to be Maersk blue? I thought I heard something about that.... BTW, my truck was missing a superrare 1x1 bley round plate. Did it just fell out the bag, did you miss it or did you forget it in all bags? Just curious.

I´m not Kim, but the garbage monster is a Dianoga. And CopMike handed out the instructions to the promo farmtruck when we were bowling, if I recall right.

Dennimator, stop posting and build that damn village!

Hey everybody, My wife, daughter, sister and me got back from a marvellous event and some wonderful people we had the chance to finally meet in person. Let me say some things: Ras and Holodoc, thanks for organizing this event and giving us a chance to have some really, really good days! Ras, you´re still the worst Admin ever, but still, things worked out, so who cares? CopMike, thanks a bunch for the excellent goodybag. Love all those promo sets and rare parts. And thanks for asking about souveniers Whoever got the nametags for us, I fail to find out who that was and in all honesty I got confused with all the names of these people I never met before... Well, thanks for the nametags! They´re great! Holodoc, thanks for the Fabrik2008 brick and for the fight with the Eurohotel management and everything else. Captain Green Hair and Dennimator, thanks for making me wonder if building the market village is really possible in less than two hours. CGH, thanks for the free torso! Everyone else, thanks a million times for a hearty welcome and a really good time. We sure enjoyed the stay and the event and we´ll definetly try to make it to the next Legoland event next year! Hope to see you again, maybe also on some other events! I´m building lots of stuff right now with all the PaB parts I bought. And geez, if I had known the Fabrik closed at 6pm, I would´ve been there earlier

Um... Sorry for tripple-post..... We´re driving now and hoping to find you guys somewhere in Günzburg Holodoc, just in case I have your mobile number. Hope it´s still the right one...

Anyone? We´ll be driving in a few hours and after that I´ve got no chance to check here... :-( Do we meet in the Hotel only? Do we meet in the park? Where and when? Heeelp!

The more pupils you gather, the faster you rise in levels. For each new pupil you get 1 XP. As your pupils level up, you get another XP. I´m on Leevl 8 now with 62 pupils, so I guess I might be the first to reach Level 10. Make sure to register in all the tournaments you can, as those tournament fights are additional ones to your regular maximum of 3 fights/day.

Huh? KD, you finally started implementing modular building techniques?
