Man you guys are so lucky. My store build is the lamest! (spongebob).

The ship sails on. In the party's cabin, the light breaks through the door cracks and the room starts getting warm. The cabin becomes pretty stuffy and the heroes who spent the last day stomping through a sewer, fighting sewer creatures, and hiding in barrels are starting to smell a bit...ripe. Soon after sunrise the stench combined with the sun and the ringing of the Timekeeper is enough to awaken them. Bing Bong Bing Ding Ding DIng Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Looking around the room, Tesni is the first to notice that Eric is not among them. His bed doesn't look like it has been touched either. What will the heroes do this morning?

Cookee recoils a bit. When Eric stomps away, Cookee pulls out a plate and pint. He puts some bread on the plate and fills the pint with ale. He brings it over to Eric's table and sets it down. "My appologies sir, I was just talkin'. Here's something for you so you don't have to be bothered to get up for a refill. I'll keep the ales commin', don't you worry." He quickly heads back to his counter and starts loading up the cooking pot for breakfast stew.

You could just reshoot the photos - it's realy too bad that your cute moc is limited by the photos.

Excellent job on the book. It looks really true to the show. Not quite sure about the ribbon, I'd have to watch episodes again to see if that color and size are exactly accurate

You're welcome. This is because of the two different plastic types of course. I'd imagine standard ABS would break too easily in that samurai armor mold style.

I think it's "dark pearl grey" on Bricklink - same color as many of the Kingdoms weapons. I could be wrong since I don't own it.

IMO no it would not be possible to accurately depict in text based game. I think it would also add yet another game mechanic to make things even more difficult to keep track of.

Great review here and pictures of course. I've been wanting this "set" for a while now but have not been able to find it anywhere. I'm pretty sad, well I really only want the figure and weapons not the cards or spinner though I do like that spinner crown.

That's wonderful. Makes me want to try building one.

"Why yes of course, ale it is." The old man grabs a mug and reaches down behind the counter, when he comes back up the hands the full mug to Eric. "Be careful with that, the ship has a tendency to rock and roll a bit at times, wouldn't want to waste perfectly good ale on the floorboards. It is forbidden for passengers to take the drinking cups outside the mess though, we lost too many cups and people over the side at the Yule party last season. Is there anything else I can get for you? Some soup maybe or some bread? As you can see there is plenty of places to sit but you can also stand here and talk I don't mind. My name is Abe but people call me Cookee usually I guess because I cook for them. Is it still dark outside? I don't get out of here very much and it is always pretty dark in here but I do like the sun. Do you like the sun? There is a special deck where you can fish, that is where some people go to fish or just sit around in the sun but it can be dangerous out here in the waters. Have you been on the sea before? You don't look like a sailor to me but I been wrong before yes indeed. Once I even added some flower petals to the soup and boy was that wrong the crew was angry with me that day except for the first mate he didn't seem to mind." Cookee spoke so much, it was like he was longing for company on this early morning. He asked so many questions, but never waited for an answer and it was apparent he might go on talking indefinitely. Eric saw that there were a few empty tables he could sit at or he could stand at the counter, or he can finish his pint and head back to the cabin of course.

I put in two orders with no issue, though the USA sale is lame. HUGE boxes and small items they just toss in and everything gets banged around.

Eric heads out of the cabin while everyone else chats about what to do. He goes straight to the Galley to get some food and drink. The deck is just as it was when they walked to the cabin - busy with the sailors doing what they needed to. Nobody waved to Eric though, a few times he thought he saw a sideways glance but he couldn't be sure. When he arrived at the eating area he saw the cook was still awake, strange but who was he to judge? He could smell some sort of soup cooking, probably fish, and behind the counter was a small array of rums. He didn't see any ale, but the first mate had said it would be there so he would probably have to ask for it. There was only one other patron in the room, sitting sullen-faced at a table with his own bottle of rum...and no cup to pour it into. What does Eric do next?

Ah that makes sense I think. I remember when that happened to the Mall of America store, it sucked and was my introduction to the PAB wall so I was very happy when the new location was opened "Wait, there's more than 12 bins OMG!!" Anyway I think you're items will come into the cart tomorrow when the sale is actually up.

Umm...it's only the 3rd in California right now

Welcome home RAS

You might want to take a look at the pinned threads before making topics like this. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33335 edit: sorry scorpiox I see now you also put the link in

You can see the sales by switching the Region to Austrailia on the S@H site. It's actually a pretty big list including the UCS SSD. However it's all AUS prices which can be double USA and i dunno what compared to yours.

Thought of another question in relation to this - wouldn't the discussion/advice/WIP be better served in the QM Lounge where it doesn't bother the non-QM folks (and by bother I only mean load up the thread with things that other player-only folks probably shouldn't really be advising on)?

Interesting idea here. I think it looks neat, I especially like the way you remolded the leaves into the upright position - great idea there. You don't really need to boil the water and then cool it, you can just turn up the head a little at a time to get it to the temp you want (170f/75c) which is what I do for magnets all the time. Anyway, a bit of an idea from me : you could carefully carve a little more off the plant base to contour it and make it look smoother and less bulky. It would take time, but do it a little shave at a time to get a nice clean look and I think you'll be even happier with your result.

It's a neat concept. Can we get a photo of your MOC on the first post though? That will make the whole thread more interesting

That's cool. I guess I'm just not the W.I.P.-posting type. Thanks for some insight on this way of thinking
