Well done, I like it a lot ! The nose part looks so good! Did you add the cactus so they can have a sticky/spiny fight ?

Ok, shipped out a lot today also. So far this has been shipped: Prize A: Day 1-4, 6-14, 16-23 Prize B: Day 1-9, 11-23 Prize C: Day 1-4, 6-12, 14, 16-23 You can check here to see which day & prize you are! The remaining will be after next week when I´m away skiing !

I´ve been there a couple of times, it´s a cool place. The purpose of that vault, because there is more of them, is to be a place for the legal department people to pull out old sets. The reason is to be able to prove that a certain design on a set, a certain part design and so on was originally made by LEGO in a certain year. So if there is a design by another company that they think is a trademark/copyright intrussion they get the phony set and then go down and pull out a original LEGO one. That is then opened if needed and the process in court or settlement can continue. So this vault is not for historical reasons, it´s for protecting the brand. How to get there? Well there are some ways: A break-in (not recommended) Invitation by someone with acces The Inside Tour sometimes goes there It is a great feeling to be able to touch all the old classics. Here´s a picture from 2006 when we were there: EB member Snefroe holds the set, Ras aims for one in the bottom shelf and DoubleT is just super happy!

From the press release: Read more about this exciting project here !

The whole article in the press release: And here you have the thoughts from Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and here information from Bjarke Ingels Group.

Yeah, that was as always great ! I´ll be back though!And what about the lawn mover? I did reply to you!

Is this the 2x8 brick in Dark Red? Bricklink doesn't have them listed in any sets: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3007 Which sets do you mean the came in?

Is it this one?

F-ck, I´m out ! Lots of reasons - job, holiday, weddingg, $$$ and so on. Nothing bad or sad though, just can´t make it. Congrats to all of you that will go! New, bigger & better, and I´m sure you all will have a hell of a good time ! So go full throttle and make yourselfs and EB proud! And beware of the that Stash brings, it´s a powerful brew !

Hi all and thanks for your patience ! At last I´ve gathered the last parts and are now starting to ship out. First batch leaves tomorrow. Those will be winners from the Prize A catagory that hasn´t traded figs with other winners. More updates to come. Thanks again!

Spring is in the air, and what better thing to do than to start shipping out the prizes to the winners of the EB SW Xmas Raffle 2012 ! I´m very sorry for the delay but it has been outside my reach and something that kind of comes with the territory for such a massive giveaway. 363 Star Wars minifigs are now starting their journeys all over the world. So for a recap - check out the rules, entries and winners here and here!

That´s a minifig I need to get! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

To me a funny cartoon pic - LEGO Batman slapping Robin by artist Paul Lee !

Nice set - it´s on the "must get-"list for sure! And a great review Masked Builder ! I especially appriciate your close-up pictures of all the off set parts of the model.

Nice interview ! It´s good to get an insight on how the LCP´s in general go about their job. I think there´s room for more of them around the world, it will be interesting to follow the increase in the years to come. As for Dirk, he´s a super nice and highly intellegent guy. I had the pleasure to spend two days with him and some other great persons (AFOL´s) two weeks ago and we had a blast. I think he speaks about every language there is (or at least a bunch of them ). And he looks ok as a minifig also: Here you can see the whole list of LCP´s!

Oh, my eyes hurt !

Well done Plate ! It looks clean and at the same time detailed! And I like the black bar on the pavement as drainage! What fruit are you going to use for your next one ?

To the Bat phone Customer Service 1-800-835-4386!

Joker1, got your info - IP32 7PP and so on !

From TLG:

In this article on Wikipedia you can read all you ever need to know about molds or die as they also are called.

Nice picture! There are some that you can see in Billund, in the Museum and the factory during guided tours. There were a fully functional moulding machine making red 2x4 bricks in Copenhagen at Lego World last weekend. When the employee handed out the bricks they were still warm! Here's an article from CNET with some nice pictures and text !

I´m building it now. Just finished the ground floor and now on to the middle one. Am I that stupid or is there something fishy in the steps shown here ? Ok, so first one 2x12 and one 1x6 dbg plate. Then one 4x6 tan plate. And in step 3 another 4x6 tan plate - that´s it ?!

I´m gathering good parts for my boat ! This is going to be fun!
