Bleh... I have never owned a mindstorm set so I have no idea what to do with them. Guess I will have to miss this.. anyway, I am waiting for OUR event! ;) Jon.

I chose ok, as we have been given some great sets from Lego.. such as the falcon and tie collection. But, we have also been disappointed with things like the cantina and the peach figs. Lest hope we have a great year in 2005! :) Jon.

It depends on whether someone wants them or not. If someone is desperately after a droid or something, then they might want to trade a clone for one. Jon.

Hey! Happy birthday dude! I had a great day yesterday so I hope you have had a great day today! *satis* Jon.

I have made some small ladders already, they can be seen here. Here are some pics of all the figures as well. I have put them all in place now so I hope to take pics by tomorrow. Mwaha ha ha! :P Jon.

Nice start Apo. Figures really liven up MOCs, so it great to see you have made some good looking characters. I like the chrome scimitar, that guy looks so cool. Hope to see what else you make for this project. Jon.

Well, maybe this is something I can do for version 2. I want to change the tower and I need to add some sort of burp/landscape to the end of the wall as well. This would mean I can stand all the figures on baseplates with the landscape. I enjoyed putting all the figures into the castle today. They are all arranged nicely apart from the orcs.. I have about 35 orcs but it looks so stupid compared to all the rohan and elves in the battlements. :/ I think I have 35 orcs to 40 or so others. So this is basically 1:1. Whereas in the film it is 10000:500 (100:5) so I need 800 orcs to make this fit *wacko* Maybe about 50 will be ok for me! It will still be alot more torsos and darth maul heads! Jon.

Apart from the snowman, I think we have already got all those sets. But thanks for sharing with us. :) Jon. Hmm.. why do I feel the urge to lock this and say.. dude, read the CoC! and respect the brick! ;)

Thanks alot guys! It has been a great day.. so far. Later I am going out for an indian meal! I got lots of nice things, and a bit of Lego. - Star Wars Battlefront - Red and blue x-pods - lego hailfire droid - couple of DVDs - some books - socks!?? (we all need socks! ;)) - lots of money So, a very nice haul! :) Jon.

Yes, I know I have been saying "it will be done soon" for ages, but it finally is now! I spent along time taking pictures, I took almost 50! But only 27 are in the gallery - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=85183 (should be public soon). Here are a few deep links for now, you can change _2 to _3 etc.. up to _27. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...helmsdeep_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...elmsdeep_23.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...elmsdeep_26.jpg Hope you enjoy looking through the pictures. I am actually relieved that I have got it finished now. But I hope to make some changes, to the tower and the bit around it, and also to do something with the end of the wall. So maybe I will have a version 2 soon. I am going to put all the figures in later so look out for battle pics some time in the next week. Jon

I actually prefer the older one to this one. It is just that it looks like it uses too many molded pieces. The helmet, the body and the shield all look like huge molds of plastic. The old ones used a range of pieces, not just large bits. But I would like to see more pictures before I make a real opinion. Jon.

Got this through the post this morning. Not much in it really, lots of comics though :| There was an image of the new Vladek for the KK2 2005 range. Here is a scan of it - http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett... Jon.

Whilst battling with Apo a while back, I made a gun, an axe and a lightsaber. Maybe we could create some icons with these. Plus it is a good way to use the attach image button! :) Jon.

Perhaps we will get Tie Collection II, which comes with 1 normal tie, 2 darth vaders tie and an interceptor! ;) Jon.

Maybe we will get a set of figures like we did in the gunship. There was 4 clones, 1 jedi, 2 super battle droids and a destroyer droid. It would be great if we got lots of mini-figs like this. Jon.

We need more normal ties, not darth ties. You can build up a squadron of normal ties fine but not darth's tie as this is meant to be his unique ship! So c'mon lego... we need more ties!!! ;) Jon.

But hopefully that means we will get more.. like maybe 8! :) Or am I too hopeful?? Jon.

No doubt it will be a further re-design with lots of new pieces and new coloured parts in it. :/ Jon.

Well it does look very complicated and technical! :P hehe! Jon.

Bleh... final duel and jedi defense is all I ever see. Got plenty of these sets. The hailfire droid is also on the website for

Man, that got me thinking.. I've always wanted to do something like this but cannot ever manage! I like you 5 width cars, the bumper of the yellow onw caught my attention for some reason?! The dice is a nice idea too, maybe I can reate a biased dice to cheat in games! ;) Jon.

There was a discussion about sticker sheets last week - http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/forum/index.php... Here's the web page David posted - http://www.hccamsterdam.nl/brick/stikkers/index.htm Hope this helps, Jon.

Good to hear that Lego has triumphed over those dodgy chinese company. I don't like seeing these shifty and Enlighten as they are, like the article says, complete rip-offs of Lego. Good riddance! |-D Jon.
