  1. Is there space inside the bag or is it solid?
  2. Cool! It looks like Batman's aircraft tug! I only weigh 95 KG... 8-|
  3. I once invented an encryption method but later discovered I was 50 years too late... :-|
  4. There's a lot of smart piece usage in that MOC... 8-
  5. Why wait for an invasion? Invade them now! Use your skele killer in the middle of their capital! You can count on the forces of Sinnerton to assist! :-P
  6. Thanks! I'm actually quite happy with it. At this stage I plan to make at least the trailer a keeper; it's not like I can use the tray for much else anyway! :-P
  7. This is the second PF conversion I have seen so far, the other was six wide. It looks great! *wub* I am very glad to see that people are experimenting with the new PF parts as I think they offer a lot of potential. I love your work, not only are your trains functional but many of them look so real! Sad to say, I bet it would happen a lot. :-| Good idea! :-P
  8. I want to believe! :'-)
  9. Re: 7620 Indiana Jones Motorcycle Chase ;-) This is such a droolsome set! *wub* I think this could be the best set for under 100 pieces ever! Two bikes, two characters, new pieces... strewth. 8-
  10. Now this is a Rail Crane! *wub* Are you planning on adding some non-function detail to this (such as a control cab/panel) or is it 100% complete? Eitherway it looks cool and I love how it actually works! I recently tried to improve the one that came with 7898 but I stopped work when I realised that a complete re-design would be smarter. I have some more train parts in the mail so I might give it a go myself.
  11. Very cool photo! *wub* Lego can look so great outside. I have been planning on taking my Bulldozer out and in some dirt for the same reason! :-P I'm a bit scared though. :-$
  12. Thanks for posting those! *sweet* Those red wheels look completely different; I could swear that the one I have are only half as wide... Yes I was confused about that as well. A few seem to be stickers for mini-figs, but looking at the instructions it seems you are supposed to put them in or on the plane... *wacko* Who can read Japanese here? :-P
  13. 2064 Air ambulance and I ordered 10173 Christmas Train, 6212 X-Wing Fighter, Santa Magnet Set and 10183 Hobby Train from S@H. (I plan to send the last order back... :-/ )
  14. :-/
  15. Very stunning model! *wub* I love all the little details. I tried to make a viking hall using the same roof technique, but it wasn't even big enough to be a hut. :-/ 4000! 8-
  16. Thanks!
  17. He's such a cute fella! :-P He looks like he just needs some love. *wub* I don't like the details in this one as much; but as an overall package I think it's pretty cool. Thanks Hinckley for the review love! (Hinckley- Bug report; The bottom of the page says "Stay tuned for an overall rating and fun story with 8118-Hybrid Rescue Tank..") I'm not sure if you will believe me, but I said he was cute without reading your comment first.... :-P
  18. *wub* It does work very well as a fire engine... although I do prefer it as a truck. However, I am not a big fan of old-firetrucks anyway so my opinion is worthless! :-P The crew are pretty cool too! :-P (I don't like your control panel piece selection though...)
  19. Welcome to Eurobricks! *sweet* Your Brickshelf folder is quite diverse and very impressive. I browsed though it last year sometime after I ran into this... *wub*
  20. I have the plane as well and plan to try something similar to give it a longer body. It looks good on yours. I'm not really sure what I'll do at this stage... but it will give me a good excuse to break the plane. :-P I like how you have added the cutting wheels at the front. I think that works qute well. The back looks very busy; perhaps it's a refinery and/or a power plant... X-D
  21. Yes, that is helpful. *sweet* Those wheels, according to Peeron, are the giant ones; Excellent.... but at the same time a bit sad; they always seemed bigger in the old catalogs! :-P
  22. I would love to know myself! The part list still isn't on Peeron on Bricklink, which is my usual way to find out stuff like this. I am visiting a friend this weekend who has the M-Tron set so I am hoping to find out then.... (I believe they are the biggest ones.)
  23. He does need power to be able to post reviews here though... ;-)
  24. While I agree that this set is just a copy, I don't think it should be seen as inferior for that alone. As a similar (but not same ;-) ) example, I never used to buy AMD chips, I would always insist on Intel because it was their design. But the Pentium 4 was a horrid design, made for Megahertz not useful work, and while I was waiting for Intel to admit to it and drop the design, I bought AMDs instead. The question is; what makes a Lego set a Lego set? Design? Obviously not as this is a Lego design and it still isn't Lego! Manufacture? Obviously not as Lego don't make most of their parts anymore. Branding? Possibly, but Galidor wasn't well liked by many and that was official Lego. Yes, I realise the obvious answer is that it is a combination of all, but if the manufacture can be done by someone else and it is still seen as Lego, why can't the branding be someone elses... 8-| I like being a purist, but it is not because I blindly think Lego is better, it is because they are better. If that changes then I will consider jumping ship... or just buy more from BrickLink! :-D Lego do not deserve our support for their name alone. If M*g^ Bl&ks started making good designs I would even consider buying their sets... but I can't see that happening. :-X (Please note ImperialScouts and Asuka that this is not a rebuttle to your comments. I just thought I should clarify my points more.)
