Good ol' times... :'-) Though I would appraciate a SNES collection even more ;-) (Note to myself: Get a SNES with Yoshi's Island, Mario Kart and Terranigma from eBay!)

So you trade the Eurobricks Event for honeymoon holidays??? Dude, there seriously is some EB spirit missing here!!! :-P >:-) (just kidding) BTW, 2 weeks honeymoon in LEGOLAND - now thats a greatt idea! *wub* But lets get back on topic: Yoda, could we get a pinned sperate thread with all those facts on the '07 Event? Date, location, hotel, goodies,.... Honestly I'm too lazy to browse all those millions of posts of the other thread to find those infos ;-)

Huh, what a disgusting beast! :-X *wacko* Reminds me alot of the Sando Aqua Monster from Star Wars Episode I though... *vader*

Dana and me are probably coming, BUT we will most certainly come over for one day only and will meet you at the park. (Cause my family lives very close to G

I noticed that while my MOCing skills definitively grew after my dark ages it seems to be harder to motivate myself to build something. The one or two years immediatelly after coming out of my dark ages I was building lots of MOCs, sometimes several at a single day. Nowadays it's something like one MOC in three months. And every second isn't even finished when I rip it apart. I think there are several reasons for this: 1. Time and responsibilities. The older you become the more you have to do. Job, studies, keeping up the household, caring for your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife,... I noticed that those responsibilities are continously growing and therefore sucking so much of your free time. 2. Demanding MOCs. The better you are at building the greater your MOCs have to be. You always try to achieve a better result than at your previous MOC. This works a certain time, but certainly there will come a point where your MOC is technically almost perfect, you've mastered your own building style. This is where you don't get any "OMG!" comments anymore because people are used to your style and they don't see anymore innovation into your MOCs. NOW you need something you can't learn or excercise: Creative ideas. Have one or haven't. Very simple. But also very frustrating. Because finally you will be able to use most of those unique ideas only once or twice, when using them anymore you will only repeat yourself. And even if people are still impressed by your creations (especially those that aren't familiar with your previous MOCs), there is always this thought in your own head: "Okay, I made a great blue spaceship, but is it really more than the other red ship I made with four instead of two wings?" For me this is the real problem: Even if I have a whole afternoon of free time to build something, I often sit in front of my bricks and try to come up with something. But finally I realize that every idea I have was already there and I won't come up with something special. Maybe the next time, but this particular afternoon hadn't MOCish purpose afterwards. Frustrating. BTW, this thread reminds me that there is an ancient bridge (started as a CCC4-entry!!!) sitting on my LEGO boxes waiting to be finished... :-$

Welcome aboard! :-)

Congrats! *sweet*

At least this will be a great chance for me to get a Hogwarts for Dana as a present... ;-) But honestly, those castles can easily be used to build a huger Hogwarts because Hogwarts never can be big enough ;-)

NASA Astronaut (-3 Classicness, 14 Technology, 1 Team, 0 Aggressiveness) "Your results: Newer High-tech Goodguy Citizen Found in: 10029 Lunar Lander, 2003" You scored higher than 29% on Classicness You scored higher than 33% on Team You scored higher than 92% on Technology You scored higher than 38% on Aggressiveness Actually as I kid I always wanted to be an astronaut... Erm, I still do. :-D

Fair Play policy of the LEGO Group: 1.) What about the plural form? LEGO's? Legos? Or lego bricks? or perhaps lego pieces? Singular form is LEGO brick, plural form LEGO bricks. 2.) What is the "right" way to write the name of this great brand??

We will, at least when TLC finally shuts down the Bionicle line! >:-)

No no no, you need an armor suit like this! *wub* :-P

Welcome around here! Yes, I actually did something similar, but several years ago when my LEGO addiction was missing every internet- and photograhic aspect... :'-( But me and my girlfriend plan to build all my LEGO sets that currently are stored in sorting boxes within the next months, I'll probably set up some new dioramas then! ;-)

Lol, funny, but I don't think this would ever work (if its even real). For example there is completely NO neck armor meaning a nearby explosion would seriously hurt the guy in the armor. And even with his Toy Stark moustache this guy is out of Iron Man's league! :-P

I got to thank you for all those nice wishes, too! THANKS! *wub* BTW, I have now all the '05 and '06 viking sets AND I got the Batwing! *wub* *wub* Yahoo!!!! :-D

My answer: YES But only if: - no catapults - classicly constructed sets, not those fragile Exo-like constructions made from a few huge parts - civic space theme

I'm a Paint Shop Pro fan to the core... I'm working with V6.00 since many years and I won't change that for the next years >:-)

Thats wrong, the very first horse was only 40cm tall... (look at the bottom of highlandcattle's chart!)

Yeah, I'm thinking about this all the time too. This is less than an average line, but the ambossadors seemed to talk about a line that is the most fantastic and revolutionairy line since decades! 8-| Maybe this is all a huge fake released by TLC to confuse the community and we will see the real sets in summer?!? Erm... okay, I should stop dreaming.... :'-( :'-(

Playmo released a great ancient rome line this fall so TLC surely will follow them within the next two years :-|

I have to second this statement though this is NOT meant as a compliment to TLC. They wasted so much potential for something completely "new" to the recent market (anybody seen the friendly I'm-not-Master-Chief-Ripley-Alien-buster-astronaut around the last 10 or 15 years in the toy stores??? I definitively haven't :-( ) but gave them another Exo-Force line. *n* *n* *n* :'-( :'-( :'-(

I am COMPLETELY disappointed. *n* Seems we are getting back to the Alpha Team junk spirit... *n* *n* *n* :'-(

Damn, this MTT looks so hot! *wub* *falls in love*

Huh, I hope that works now, took me several tries... *wacko*

Lol, that calls for a Mega Blok Alternate Build challenge... X-D Maybe a starfighter....
