^I'm excited for both those summer sets, but that castle sure is expensive. I'll need to careful with my Lego spending until then. Edited to add: The Elves book #1, also coming in August has been given a title now; "Quest for the Keys".

Adding just a bit to what Vorkosigan mentioned; Eurobricks doesn't want to exist as advertising portal, so it would probably be a good idea to ask a Mod to change your title to [MOC]: Polar Bear Encounter. I think more people will be more interested to have a look in that case too. Anyways, your MOC looks really great. I really love the above+under water 3d scenes like this. You've tied them together nicely with the polar bear breaking through the ice. I think the only thing I'd personally change would be to make the snow have a no studs on top look and add some curved bricks to simulate snow drifts.

I like how each floor is designed differently to reflect the variety of research going on inside. The exterior and observatory look great as well.

Possibility the cutest MOC I've ever seen. Perfect colouration!

Interesting MOC creation and well executed. Impressive that it can stand on its own at that height. I'm still taller, but not by much.

Wow, these are really ingenious despite their simple builds. Many thanks for the video and instructions.

I was kind of hoping the 'Build a Model' wouldn't make it way to Canada. With only 60 slots for PAB at the two BC locations, the Build a Models are going to take away so many possible better bricks. I'm not sure if it will be even worth it to stop by the store anymore, on the rare occasions that I'm in Vancouver. I wasn't aware we could do that. Good to know.

While I don't find it surprising that are not included given they're still so new, it is still a bit of a shame that they aren't. Even a brief appearance in the game would have probably resulted in increased interest in the Elves theme and sales. I agree. They have a lot of potential to attract a wider audience if they were to showcase their powers more, and especially in a battle setting. Hopefully the next wave will be more brave in that respect. The show was good at introducing each of the Elves' powers, especially considering the short amount of time allotted. The app, not so much.

That smile- she's definitely a flirt . I mean, she puts her photo on the outside of the package for everyone to fawn over.

^I agree, perfect pose! Love what you are doing with those Chima heads.

Very creative with lots of fun detail. It's definitely an interesting concept and way to view the Lego world, with robots as the minifig creators (or are they merely programmed by something bigger?).

^The question isn't WHO, but WHY? Haha. I can't wait to be rich enough to drop my prized possessions on purpose.

This is what I'm thinking. OP sounds totally susceptible to this kind of thing if all it takes is a photo of a pretty woman included in a parcel of Lego. I mean, if 'she' even responds. No where did his post mention a "here's a photo of me, and if you are ever in Italy, I'll show you my Lego collection *wink*". Certainly buying a wrench is a far less risky activity than pursuing a random woman across the world, who so far all you really know is you have a single thing in common (love of Lego), but who you believe is female/friendly/organized/single. No kidding. I'd do that too if I was a man. But, because I'm not, I won't (otherwise someone from across the world might accidentally think I'm interested in them ).

What a creative little build. It really does look so sad and lonely.

It looks great and very professional, with regards to both the construction and integration of Lego bricks+decals. Love the lighting too- though I probably would have gone with a RGB led strip (because there are lighting maniacs in my household).

Umm... I hope you are joking.

Limitless- Overall was just okay. Didn't find the main character likeable and the narration was annoying. Parallels- Enjoyable for what it really is: a pilot episode to a show that never was. Avoid if you dislike unfinished endings.

Woops. Thanks for letting me know. My washed out laptop screen is really needs to be replaced.

I can relate to the dislike of 'contamination' between bricks brands, though I've met plenty of kids that will identify any brick toy they see 'Lego', So I would probably toss them in a bag and donate them. I bet there's quite a few kids would be happy to play them.

Some really interesting topography. My eyes keep playing tricks on me around the culvert. You've done an excellent job making it look like the road is actually ripped apart.The fire damage at the diner is a good touch as well.

^Wow. Now that's a tree house.

Hehe, I didn't want it to be too obscure. Your turn.

I bought a Creative Bucket last year and found it very useful. I think they are most useful for people who are new to Lego or getting back into it (Probably less useful to people who already have large a Lego collection). The cost on the Creative Buckets are decent at about 7.5cents per brick (below the 10cents/brick which most people aim for when buying standard sets). This year's Classic Creative Buckets look a lot better than the one I bought last year- Wider variety of colours, a lot more sloped bricks and some interesting pieces- like the mini door. Had I not bought the more basic bucket last year, I would go for the Classic Medium Creative Bucket. The Large one looks decent as well, but outside of what I'd want to pay.

Since I got confirmation above, here's a new one to guess: (See image name if you want a hint).
