  1. Won another 3180 Tanker Truck for $15 and the two boats from Indy's 7197 Venice Canal Chase for $12
  2. An excellent build, it's enormous!. I would love to build one, but would have to do it brick instead of technic. You did a great job combining the two. It's size and detail seem accurate. Very well done
  3. I just submitted my email and clicked accept policy terms and left the about me box empty. No password or anything. It created my profile and inserted my Lego.com password in the 'About Me' box, so I'm assuming it will use the same password. I do remember trying to set up an account a long time ago with no luck. I can't remember what it was doing specifically, but I ended up giving up on it, figuring it was "a new site glitch"
  4. I love the Emerald Night's box and 10213/10231 Space Shuttles Adventure & Expedition but I also really like the classic town Divers and the floating boat boxes
  5. Picked up some cheap CMFs including 2 S6 8827 Butchers, 4 S7 8831 Tennis Aces, 1 S6 Mechanic, S7 Daredevil, and 7736 Coast Guard Truck & Speedboat with 7726 Coast Guard Quad lot from eBay and a small BL order. All for about $60 including shipping
  6. I too have had a severe cracking problem, but with a handful of 1x1 round translucent plates. They are splitting almost in half; the stud gripping part, separating from it's own stud, as shown. They are still useable, but only somewhat. The red ones have come from various city sets from roughly 2005 to 2011. A few others (not pictured) have cracked, but not separated and have been removed from my "useable" parts bin. I suppose these also might fall under poor plastic manufacture and/or brittle plastics
  7. Every set I buy has it's own build date, and there are plenty unopened. Unfortunately it is an unscheduled date as I have hit the main problem most collectors hit: Space! With so many great looking sets from city, I have had to halt any new builds for storage reasons, but don't want to miss out on them. They are much easier to store in their boxes, with no worries of random parts (like antennas) falling off and getting lost. I already fear a move just from the fact my built sets will be in a truck bouncing around
  8. I'd also recommend using a site like PicResize.com to get the pictures to this size guideline of 800x600 or smaller. Then upload the resized photo to one of those sites listed above. HERE is a list of tutorials, including how to deeplink your photos from the host site, for further help. Finally, Welcome to EB!
  9. Won 6582 Daredevil Flight Squad off eBay for $6.50 and a small BL order of truck parts
  10. Neat review lego_legis_legere! I love the truck in this set, but, wow, I did not know it would be that big in comparison to the tractor from 7848! Barnes and Noble is the largest book retailer and in the U.S. I don't have one near me, but like my local Books- a-Million, it too sells Lego, as well as, a few other types "learning" toys
  11. Excellent roadster ER0L, it screams "Duesey" to me! An awesome design and a very unique use of the technic skis as fenders. Excellent job
  12. At first, I really disliked having multiple booklets, but now they've kind of grown on me. I still prefer having just one, even for large 1000+pcs sets. Maybe it's nostalgia; or the fact that my friends nor I ever had difficulty building sets with the all-in-one booklets. I do however still strongly dislike the many different sizes they come in. Even the the larger books don't all match (e.g. 10194 E. Night and 7998 Heavy Hauler). Granted the E. Night has more pieces, but they are both similar in size, the truck actually being bit bigger. Yet the trucks manual is not letter size (U.S./CA 8 1/2" x 11"). I have the same disgruntlement with many smaller sets, as well. It's quite frustrating when trying to sort and store
  13. Going back and starting at page one, over a year ago, I have just caught up to this MOC. I must say your dedication to this project is only surpassed by it's greatness. Not only in size, but in detail! Not much I can say that hasn't already been said, it was a real pleasure to see it's progression. I eagerly wait to see what is currently be ing built and what else is to come. Keep up the fantastic work
  14. I don't think thats him, just a video he found on youtube. Glad I don't see much bootleg Lego around my local shops or stores. A real waste of money IMO
  15. Thanks for the link. I like that trim the best
  16. Great set of truck Oran! I'd show a few of my truck MOCs, but I feel it'd be redundant as you have this market cornered . I'm in favor for the Octan Truck and the red version of 3221. Keep up the great work
  17. Very creative and well done Legonardo Davidy
  18. Excellent set of engines and tenders Cale. Beautifully detailed work, I can't wait to see the carriages. Very well done
  19. A very menacing MOC lego-maniac! Neat concept for the wrecking ball. I like that more than the one from Ninjago
  20. Thanks for this review Big Cam. I really thought about getting this for the boat in particular, for a his/hers boating couple with last years red one. However, after seeing it's stern, I am now having second thoughts. I think I'll just BL some of the main pieces instead
  21. Very cool friends MOC! Looks very similar to a Jeep Commando . I'd take one for my minifigs though. Keep up the cool MOCs
  22. Neat trucks Oran, love chrome on black
  23. Very nice homes Hoexbroe, so colorful! Your upcoming MOC looks very promising. Keep up the great work
  24. Maybe the car, but I believe the truck is from set 7945 Fire Station from 2007 Oh wait, bet? 5 bucks!
  25. Took advantage of the free shipping and 40049 Mini Sopwith Camel at Lego S@H, as well as, the new U.S. release of the mining sets! 2 - 4200 Mining 4x4 2 - 4201 Loader and Tipper 1 - 4202 Mining Truck 1 - 4203 Excavator Transport 1 - 4205 Off Road Command Center 1 - 4430 Fire Transport 1 - 4432 Garbage Truck
