Cloveapple

I just stumbled upon a Last Supper set and a Nativity set and thought you might like the link: http://thebrickblogger.com/2014/03/lego-compatible-bible-based-sets/

That would be truly awesome. Maybe as a back-side expression on a head?

I don't think I'd want a minifig that reminded me of somebody I truly hated from real life. That would creep me out. I have helped a friend make a custom minifig of her brother, and I'm working on custom versions of minifigs from fiction; but those are all people I like. (Even the fictional villains are characters that I like some aspect of.)

I second the Wallace and Gromit comment. This is definitely has that vibe.

Wonderful. I especially love the way the sign on the window has a shadowy twin on the floor, and the exppression of the "troubled client."

I prefer the minifigs without the curves. I don't mind the ones where it is slight and subtle shading, but the super-curvy, extra small-waisted ones annoy me.

Am I the only one who thinks these are adorable. I see potential for a new collection addiction... ETA: After posting, I saw that some other people also like them.

I can't help imagining this as an actual storyline. ;-D Will Elsa go around mind-controlling people? Does Loki know that she has it?

I've bought Lego on eBay, BrickOwl, and Bricklink. All the eBay transactions were just fine. I usually stick to sellers with at least 98% positive feedback. Two of the eBay orders were random grab bags of bricks or minifigure parts, but most of them were for specific minifig parts. I got a mixed up minifig once (with one fig's bdy and another's head) when a lady was selling her son's Harry Potter collection, but I don't think it was deceptive or anything since she photographed it just like she sent it. (I just bid low out of curiosity since I was seriously bidding on some of her other stuff.) If there's any down side to eBay, it's just been the danger of bidding just a tiny bit more to stop things from "getting away" and the hassle of the some of the annoying shopping cart bugs that sometimes means you have to contact a seller for a correct total. Brick Owl is probably my favorite buying site, since the buying process is slightly more streamlined than at Bricklink. So far all my experiences there have been good. Bricklink has also been good for the most part. However, I've realized that (unlike on eBay, where things are a little more centrally controlled) it's important to read each store's individual page of terms to make sure I'm not agreeing to something obnoxious. Unlike eBay the terms are not on the sales page, so you can easily miss something big. I've had my only unpleasant interaction on a Bricklink purchase. I recently left neutral feedback on an order that sat for over 20 days before being mailed (the terms page did say they were slow, but over 20 days slow?) and now they are repeat messaging me to get me to change my feedback. Annoying, but not the stuff of nightmares.

Reading, writing, researching (I'm often obsessively researching whatever has most recently captured my interest), Harry Potter fandom, Marvel movies, getting (back) into photography... I used to hang out on Neopets when it was more of an adult/all ages website. I tend to like lots of indie/art house movies, but only see alot of them when I have movie buddies with similar taste. I'm sure there's other stuff I'll think of later. My interests often cycle around, so I'll do something intensely, take a break, then come back to it or to something similar.

My screen names are usually a combination of simple words. I like that the combinations have a simple feel, but (unlike most single words) combinations are likely to be available. Also, cloveapples are real things that I like. They are an old fashioned way to get rid of bad smells. You take an apple and stud it full of cloves till it looks like a (strongly scented) hedgehog. They are also a cool bit of history: 1) Nobility would sometimes carry a clove orange, clove apple, or other pommander and hold it up to their nose to drive out bad smells. 2) I'm pretty sure Laura Ingalls Wilder also mentions them. 3) I've made them. In fact, there's one on my shelf right now.

In that case, I don't see a real problem with their age policy.

I know this is heresy.... sensitive Lego fans may wish to avert their eyes.... but, it has been reported elsewhere that Kreon hair (made by Hasbro) fits on Lego minifigures. It's supposedly a bit of a tight fit, but it will go on. Add in the fact that Hasbro makes Star Trek Kreon figures and you've got Spock hair that fits on Lego minifigs.

Third party CrazyBricks is making some cool steins as part of their Bricks of the Mouseguard kickstarter project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crazybricks/bricks-of-the-mouse-guard-for-your-miniature-figur

Yes. This. BrickOwl and Bricklink are killing me.

I don't think it's quite as simple as agreeing or disagreeing. What the article doesn't tell us is whether the "monthly events specifically for adults" are accessible to adults with intellectual disabilities, or if the Trafford Centre in Manchester is open to providing access at some other time.

Would somebody who basically has the mentality of a young child fit in on a Lego adult night? (I genuinely don't know.) I work with adults with intellectual disabilities/mental retardation and we often go to kids events with some of them, because that is where their interests and abilities are, and also because they are too disruptive at quieter adult events. For example, someone who can't help giggling and talking during a play can fit right in at our local children's theater where there is a viewing area for noisy children, but that same person doesn't have a good time getting shushed nonstop at a play that requires a quiet audience.

Thanks so much for the identification. How odd to have a Peeves minifigure when he's not even IN the movies that are supposedly the basis for the Lego sets.

I got this minifigure off ebay, where it was included with some Harry Potter minifigs. The picture there had the head turned around so only blank grey showed, and at first I thought it might be Binns from Harry Potter, but when I checked there has never been a Binns fig. Plus, when the minifig arrived it had the sort of robot face below. So, does anyone recognize this fellow? Is he an official fig from anything?

Somehow, this sentence amuses me much more than it should. After all how many shows have these ingredients as a common trio?

Oddly enough sitting does tend to be harder on your back than standing, so the standing table might help with that. However, "might help" doesn't mean will. Why not try a small project on a kitchen counter as a test of how it feels? (Of course that would be after letting any significant others know that it it's only a brief test, and that you are not planning to take over the counter long term!)

Thank you!

*looks* Oh my god! :-D That may be the one character I cannot pity.

I especially loved the Soyuz one in your videos. The Don Quixote windmill was pretty neat too. I'll have to go support them. A personal favorite of my own is the Golden Girls kitchen https://ideas.lego.com/projects/50814 (Oddly, I'm not a big fan of the show, but I have several friends this would make a fabulous gift for. Plus, I'd want to buy a set for parts.) Another really good one is the food truck https://ideas.lego.com/projects/937 I would spend a ridiculous amount of time introducing my minifigs to the joys of food trucks. :-)
