Hi guys few lugs (LUG - LEGO User Group) from the neighborhood got together and we are making one big warcraft diorama We decided to include all of you, dear AFOLs from Eurobricks - so, make Warcraft characters and post them here. This is just for fun Focus on Warcraft III, here is the list of hero characters and the list of unit characters And, as a special threat, for every minifig you make and we decide to include into our giant diorama, first, we will give credits, and second, bag with ten fully equiped fantasy castle warriors. They will be cool, I will personally make every one of them :) Please note, this is not a contest, there will be no judges, no rang between minifigs Diorama will be exhibited o Lugs United event in November and trough September until we are out of power to drive it in countries trough Europe (September Romania, October Montenegro, December Poland, January Bosnia etc) take a look for more info regarding Lugs United: www.bgdlu.com The gifts are provided by me. I will pay for shipping - I can also bring them to Skaerbaek Fan Weekend I would love if you make Night Elves - Ilidan, Naisha, huntress (black feline cat came perfect for this), Tyrande, Maiev, Cenarius, giant, wisp - etc Also Arethas (my son:), Sylvanas, Thrall, Grom Hellscream, Cairne (tauren), Gul'dan etc There is no time limit on this Little sneakpeak on moduls of the diorama:

hey are fantastic, Eric :)

a 1000 people - a 1000 mindsets :) plus people tend to be hearded and they act like others act - it is simply nature of most people. You can;t change it (maybe you shouldn;t, like a chicken is not ment to fly, and eagle is not ment to be grounded - everything has some explanation I think that what is changed is that community is more heard today then a decade or more ago, and TLG is activly being part of conversation. People tend to change tone of talk when talking to the company, and have sturider, more critique attitude - which can be both good and not, depending on a tone and idea I think we aso get used on a quality set, and tend to rise the bar, which is also a good and a bad thing :) All in all, balance in the universe :)

I think it;s all about taste I am not a set guy, but I am a part guy (sounds silly :))) So, I am all about parts - and parts and molds have never been better I guess, sets from past wher emore for playing, and sets now are more for exhibiting We should really ask children :)

Hi guys Does your local PaB have diamonds? If yes, what color? Thank you in advance

wow, fatastic! And frontapged by Milan, congrats :)

tnx Erik :)

Thank you, I will try it (I tried it) - I know it sounds silly, but how do I export .jpg files (or any picture extention) of model? I am preparing a big project for a big client, and if the idea goes, I would like to give some percent to the designer of the program - can I get some contact? Please note I will be in Skaerbaek, so we can discuss this there

you could add few bricks to the feet and make him taller regarding brickheads, it's cute and all that, but a little too freaky for me

I am sorry, my friend, but zombies are History element :) You can;t take that from us, and we will fight, we will invade, and your silly SciFi bases are going to be consumed by our (history correct) magic :) ...maybe zombie in space, but that is as far as we will go with sharing :)

I don't know, friend, but originally there should be 1000 of them, I think not all where made for picture But,on a larger scale, they are part of 12x4 diorma with 4m tall castle, pouring from the gate, disperzin to a nice possition for a photo - and, there will be 10.000 of soldiers, once I;ve got lugbulk order :) Also note that 10000 soldiers will need at least 12x6 of terrain to disperse, but I am counting on a "wow" effect on events, together with a 4m tall tower, with a lot of details an sorrounding walls (in my style) Wat I would really like are 1000 old style SW troopers, but they are way too expensive :)

Possible solutions could be: choose another ambassador who will have time for communication - it is only few minutes to write an-email. Or choose replacement that will jump in when ambassador is indisposed There are around 300 recognized lugs, let's say with average 100 members per club. That is 30.000 people just in recognized lugs, and there are at least 100 more that are trying to become, so, around 40.000 people that want to talk with Jan and Ana and other LCE members. Imagine that they converse with all of them on a daily basis, they would just be reading e-mails all day long, and quickly loose themselves in a sea of different opinions. so, it is logical to have contact with representatives of the community Like I said, my country, Serbia, is (I think) even worse then yours when import shenanigans are in question, but we managed to find solutions and procedures that allow us to pass without problems. This was a product of many months of research and talks with customs representatives, and special problem was changing shipping companies - each had its own customs department, and every department had its own rules and different set of papers they wanted - once we ironed that out, it has been much much easier. So, I would recommend talking to the customs representative, making of list of needed documents and procedures, making a template files and then just filling them up when support arrives

I wanted to say "why would you loose so much time sitting in front of PC, and not playing, then I started scrolling and got lost in great designs, then started taking notes, then saving pictures - this is fantastic, friend :)

this could be both good and a bad thing for us. If we voice our concerns, TLG could focus and switch it to the good side. It is important that we say how we feel, what are we afraid off and what we would like

Actually, Stash, I think Ana is in charge of Lugubulk at this moment - but that is besides a point: For Hexx question - as I understood, guys from one club asked guys from other club for lugbulk - which is not quite by the rules, but ok. The MAIN and most important rule is "do not resell lugbulk", so, I won't get into discussion - but the point is, it seems to me that both sides where doing something "bad", and in situations when both sides operate "outside of law", when scam happen, law does not protect you - in a way, I would feel lucky that I've got my money back On one hand, VAT has to be paid in every country, also shipping, customs, if applicable, and there are additional costs - cost of making papers (usually the delivery agency bills that to the recipient), costs of customs declaration and checking, cost of sanitary inspection, etc. You do get bill for everything, as a proof of transaction. Sometimes the receipt of the money is enough. What can you do in this kind of situations? Not much. You could contact TLG, but what can you say? "I tried to cheat you, but the guy who was helping me cheated me"? (I guess this happened, you where not part of RLUG and tried to get lugbulk all the same? Correct me if I misread your post) I would have two set of advices: 1) The cheapest schools in life are the ones that you pay with money Luckily you get your money back. Really, that is really a good thing, reading your post I was not expecting that 2) Do things by the book. TLG has some great programs, excellent support and nerves like steel, but they do snap sometimes, and people get removed from the family - but punishment should not be what is driving us to have good relationship with TLG, but the little gestures of good will that we constantly do to eachother - us, AFOL community represented trough RLUGs, and them, the Corporate, represented trough LCE team --- As I understand, only looses are with missed opportunities, which is not that bad (I know RLUGS that lost whole lugbulk money amounts to thieves or swindlers), so, at the end, loss of opportunity, and gain of experience. And opportunities will arise again, and experience stays :) Hope this helps. For me personally it helps with having strong-minded members inside the club, that make a wall and allow us to make mistakes while we work, as it is much easier to remedy this kind of situations when you are part of the group, and rarely is the whole group so without experience so they all get swindled by the swindler. Group is always stronger then individual, and you can find a whole bunch of benefits from being part of a good, strong network of friends that make a club for DwalinF question: There can be only one ambassador per club. But until this year there could have been one more person in charge for lugbulk So, first question have you solved your transport problem? If not, with delivery problem, you can do next: 1) ask your Community manager (I think it is Jan, right?) for "ok" to talk to Ana about cutting your order in few parts, and sending it - you said that you do get some smaller support packages. Please note that TLG could not have possibilities to help you in this way, but it does not hurt to ask. Little advice - keep your e-mails as short and as to the point as necessary. As long time ambassador, I needed years before I learned how to be short and consis, and to the point. Have your ambassador contact me on LAN, and we will go into the details of the problem 2) same step as before, except if the order can't be divided into smaller parcels - you can have it delivered somewhere else, outside your borders. Please have your ambassador to contact me privately for the rest. And please, let him/her do this over the LAN For your other questions, yes, there are lugbulk problems all the time that I know, and imagine how much I don't know, on the other hand, we have teams of people working to find solutions, both from our (AFOL) side and theirs (TLG). If there is a doubt ambassador is not doing something ok, members should contact TLG trough Regional Community manager (For Europe - Jan Beyer, please contact me with pm for e-mail. Again, I would suggest for a short, consis letter. If the ambassador is ok, but the club thinks some other person could ad benefits to the situation or resolve it, I suggest that your ambassador ask Regional Community manager to add this person to conversation by adding him/her as a recipient to the mailing list. This happens a lot when we work with TLG, when someone from finance, packaging, or some other department has to be part of conversation. on a personal note, great steampunk mocs ;) but my favorite is Graveyard watchman's house :)

Hi guys, I am new in the wonderfull world of modulars - I am used to building tall castles, but City is something new for me - I;ve built few modulars, but I have a lot of problems with sides - as I don;t have a lot of bricks, I use other colors - sometimes they can be seen, ugly color with wholes - so, are there any standards regarding sides and from what point they become to be visible? Any other suggestions regarding modular standars? Any good suggestions regarding how to build a large city layout, ideas for activities on street and good exsamples of beautiful and smart modulars? Thnx :)

Hi guys ;) Remember Warrior beauty contest and Drow gladiator games (damn, I haven;t coded in years! :)) Well, we (the Drow) have something new for you For pr, we are making some event so people can have fun and be merry In truth, we are searching for The Champion we are going to corrupt and use for our evil plans, but we will not admit this openly :) Either way, it is going to be fun ;) What I liked about Drow Gladiator games is that I used 32 edged dice to find out who will win; and if the result was 28-27, then it would be a tight fight, winner passing trough the edge of his teeth, but if the result was 30-1, then it was something embarrassing, like the looser tripped over his cape ;) And every fight had a story: ******************************************************** ....VS.... Golden golem VS Ramzes 2:1 When those two combatants entered the sends of arena, they were at home. Sand. But the fight did not last long: Ramzes used some kind of oil and his blade burst in flames. With intent to melt down the gold of golem, but "golden golem" was just a name, and golem caught burning blade with his left hand, and knocked Ramzes with the other. He just turned, and left the arena. Great fighters, golems, but poor showmanship :) Golem to the next round! ....VS.... I've built an arena, and found piece of armor or something that gladiator had on the picture, and represented it in the arena like something lost during the fight, if the gladiator lost :) And we had some nifty prizes This month, we will make something similar, with some crazy prizes :D The idea will be that all can be part of the contest, and that it is easy to build for it - just a minifig. Maybe we will make Signing contest, or Bard fighting contest, or just another gladiator games, we will see But there will be some CRAZY rewards for the first place The winner will be chosen randomly, so everybody have the same chance, and all, including admins and moderators, can be part of the games (except one, who will oversee the dice process :) We will ask someone who has no interest in castle :EGO themes at all, someone from Star Wars, or something far fetched like that :) So, we have few days to find out what prizes the winner will get, and what type of contest to make, where minifig is enough (Special talents show, knitting contest, spelling contest under the full armor and war gear, Fashion designer of battle gear contest (purple your war gear" or something funny and interesting:) We will have witty comments, so I will encouraged you to leave few sentences of history or pretences or anything I will use later for the story and we will need contestants number that can be championshiped, so, "Power of two": 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 / 128 / 256 / 512 / 1024 / 2048 / 4098 / 8196 btw, if we do get to 8196 contestants, the prize will be new Death Star set:D What the hell, it will be if we get 1024 gladiators participating :D And the most important, although this is purely for fun and joy, prices will be such that the winner will be able to equip the whole smaller army I will provide the prizes, and maybe someone will jump in also ;) Let's give it a few days to talk about this, and then start with the contest! Drow rule supreme!

:D " I read "If you don;t mind, I hope my troops won't EAT yours" :D With tendency to have extra large dragons in yours :) And my first thought: ... no problem, we must build Gargantuan" :)

I think it is about time that Drow take their rightfull place as rulers of Historica Drow Rule supreme! :D Haven't said that in a few years ;)

can you link me to some angry bird mocs? Can;t seem to find any (I would prefer dioramas more then vignetes:)

this is fantastic, thank you :)

Hi guys I;ve been away for some time give me few links to get into the story and new challenges and stuf that will follow, so I can get in with builds tnx ;) --- On a special note, there is something cooking in the Drow kithen, something interesting ;)

And Drow will be joining you The real Drow, not those puppies we see waving Drow banners trough skirmishes - the real primordially Drow power ...we just need to make a party first. More info to come :)

Hi guys I am not sure what is a proper name for those small pictures under the nick and avatar, and I don't mean these: (btw, I think my ambassador badge is on the wronge place:) but the ones on the bottom, like: "These are examples of special tags " My question: is there a complete list (or partial) with all those special tags and what they are awarded for?

the hand of the baby stucks in the minifig hand? genious :)
