My advice is to be proud of what makes you different. Fitting in the world is important, but finding your personal place is important also.

Fair point. I stand corrected. :-$ Back on the Challenge.... Mace's general arrogance ("You know, m'lady, that Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He couldn't assassinate anyone. It's not in his character") has annoyed Yoda for the last time and he challenges Mace to a duel. Mace dominates the battle at first, but after an hour of fighting someone so short his back cramps up and Yoda cuts him down to size.

The birthday boy turned up! When was the last time this happened?! That's pretty cool! Is it ever annoying though? I have a nephew and a great-niece (gee I'm old!) who share my birthday and I find it annoying if they expect me to visit them on my birthday! (I never do! >:-) )

I think we may have a communication problem.... :-P

Oh yes! *wub* Will it come in my bucket?

Indeed! When I left the navy I wanted to do three things with my hair: 1. Grow it long 2. Go Blonde 3. Go Bald I did all of those and now I don't know what to do! It was an odd case of site promotion. (Please note I was a tubbier then; around 100KG. These days I am around 85KG.) It was (obviously) done in two parts with me kissing air each time. Then it was just a case of blending the photos. It took too long (and I am not sure if it achieved anything!) so I haven't done it again. I have been planning on doing another one but with a Lego slant (cross dressing isn't that funny!), but I havn't got around to it. Since Sinnerton is rebuilt, and my 8288 crane is on the way (I hope) now could be a good time....

You sure know how to take the wind out of a guys sails. :'-(

Why didn't you vote for one then? ;-)

Now I feel even worse. :'-(

I agree with Mr Tiber; the foc'sle needs more detail. Other than that I love it!

My apoligies. :-$ That's the problem with timezones.

As much as I love the firehouse *wub* , the car is simply more modular and thus gets my vote. Sorry UniqueBuilder. :-$ That will make a big difference. ;-)

NB: I was first

I love this set. It is one of the few I have more than one of, my last cost me $40 AUD....

I want an EB Tasmanian event! I feel left out. :'-( I love your new Chuck Norris figure! *wub*

I'd like to see that! *sweet*

Wow. That't cool! I can't wait for my birthday!

What could have made him leave? Bad pay? Hopefully he will overcome his experience and talk. I wonder if he has any knowledge of the 2009 Star Wars sets? Fuller story here.

No it doesn't. There have been under 50 votes; our recent comp got over 100. I can still win! (But personally I think you win... :'-( Luckily there was no bucket or ice cube tray on this one.)

Yes. I agree 100%. That is pretty much the reason why I think it is fake too. (I have that exact man. I take him everywhere! :-$ )

Well I certianly do! *sweet* I am still not convinced it is real though. This photo is good enought to make out the number; 8495, and it is clear enough that I am sure that there is a Technic man in there. As much as I want this to be true I am still not converted.

I would appreciate any help. We would love to do this again, and I am hoping to arrange one with about five people. I do agree that a set theme would make the voting more even; IMHO too much freedom caused trouble in the Police car comp. Mr Muscle's entry in particular was completly different to the others for example, yet still permitted. As it was I think people voted for what type of design they liked. If it was based on skill alone I would have won without question. Not enough Mad Max fans here probably.

Thanks! *sweet* That is a great comparison. I don't mind the new one, but I agree that gap has to go! :-X

Errr.... patience! Captaintau updates this at around the same time every day. He, and only he, has the power of life and death over these poor minifigs. :'-(

That is funny! :-P Assuming it is true, I wonder if they were trying to trick her or if it was just a honest mistake...
