The Middleman

Shhhh! ;) I already ordered two a few days ago... :-D And welcome to the boards, by the way! Looks like we have another Vikings fan on our hands - could always use more of those, eh Phes? ;)

I'm going to go go ahead and nominate V()()D()() for delivering the first installment of my Viking army intact, along with twenty-two extra horns (waiting on the helmets from languages). You're the man! :-D This is just the beginning... ;)

The great thing about the Sail Barge is that we get a flesh Slave Leia... :-D

I'm with you on that one. Been wanting to see one ever since I saw this amazing custom on Brickshelf... can't find it now.

I've been digging the Graveyard Duel and Hungarian Horntail for a while now. I'll make a list of the cool and useful things I can see in each set: Hungarian Horntail - Blay mountain pieces - 1x6 tan tiles with wood pattern - Magnetic hand - Burnt orange-colored bricks (rare) - Metallic peg-leg Graveyard Duel - Light blay trash can - Black hippogriff wings - Large wagon wheels in new brown - All-black skeleton - Abundance of black chains - Abundance of black 'railing' - Bricks used in mausoleum - Astounding piece/price ratio ($30) Rescue From The Merpeople - Flesh-colored arms/legs - Red 'Dumbledore' hair - Regular bricks in rare shades of blue (light, dark, trans) - Rare sea creatures, including an extremely inventive use for a baker's hat - a jellyfish. Durmstrang Ship - Metallic gold window panes - Dark red window frames - Chrome gold 2x2 inverted dishes - Black 'wooden' doors - Black Falcon shields - New shield design - Accessories inside cabin Hope that helps some of you see some value in the sets. ;)

Hey stb, I had that piece remaining as well. No worries! :)

How's that for a celebration? ;) I'm sorry for the delay, but Brickster and Yoda are going to be out over the weekend. In the meantime, a teaser poster...

Now you megablocking tell me. *twitch* I can relax a little then. I almost gave myself a heart attack with all the building tonight.

Don't get excited - I'm not finished yet - but I expect to finish before midnight (eating dinner right now). I have three rooms to go. Each room takes about 30-45 minutes. I might finish just a littttttttttle bit after midnight. I honestly don't know, but I'm doing my best, and I think it's looking really good, so everyone hang tight. Just giving y'all a little update.

Many happy returns, Matt!

Those are even more god-awful than I originally thought! I suppose the biggest one might be tolerable for the dark red pillars, but $70? Thanks, but no thanks.

Yes...hopefully in time for the holiday season...now that is smart thinking... *satis* I'm thinking back to the Cantina/AT-TE/TIE Bomber, and I'm pretty sure all January SW lines have been released around December.

You're our 400th member! Have a cookie. :-D And that's really an interesting idea! You know, I'll bet it holds true... :P

Ian, we don't have anything against FBTB'rs in general - it's the amount of control that's kind of unsettling. No leaks, no off-topic threads, no deals that don't include Star Wars LEGO, etc. A happy community is a free community. Most of the people in that thread that just got locked seem pretty excited about it. Besides, there are two sources confirming this, so this is a sturdy rumor.

The topic just got locked over at FBTB. Still, my referral to Eurobricks remains... I think we can expect a few visitors soon, eh? ;)

Bounty hunters! Sam, any word on when these are coming?

Just relayed it to FBTB.

I don't have access to Eurobrick's server, or I would.

Never! It's all about pressure. The finished model is going to be very cool, though. I like it so far.

Take some pity on a poor builder! I still have a few rooms to go. It should be finished around evening tomorrow sometime, and I will announce the start IMMEDIATELY following its completion.

The heli uses a little too many of those pieces from Jango Fett's Slave 1 for my liking, and I can't shake the feeling that the tank looks like a giant - well, you know where I'm going with this - with treads. As far as the green projectile... :D

The only one I'd even CONSIDER buying would be the hummer, just because it's over piece/price (if you count those megablock dinos as pieces)... Still, put it on the front page, with, of course, the appropriate kudos to Ewok. Nice find!

Update: Shipping was $40 for these sets, deboxed, with one set of instructions per set (to save on weight and subsequently shipping): 3x Viking Longboat 8x Viking Boat 2x Viking Warrior This is from Singapore to East Coast US.

yes the seller would email you the final price and maby different prices for shipping depending on what kind of shipping you want then you as the buyer need to send out the money however you have decided to do that. Hope that helped Really puts my mind at ease, that's what I was hoping for! Thanks a million, chewie.
