Everyone's in a hurry. I've had TLG orders that arrived in 3 days (with regular shipping) and at most, 6. The PaB portion has actually arrived no more than a week later thus far, but even if it took longer, it wouldn't be any worse than the typical BrickLink order, and it does come from Poland. Are any of us really buying something so vitally important than we can't wait a normal length of time to receive it? The real issue is the horrible packing for US orders. I've watched it steadily decline over the past few years to the point that I stopped ordering and have only gradually been giving them another try. The results have been mixed and the responses are less helpful than they once were, but a S@H rep has admitted that they get a lot of complaints and are limited by management as to how much they can do in response. Further up the chain, I have heard frustration that the problem has been so thoroughly reported to those in charge, but changes haven't occurred. Seriously, if you're going to waste effort trying to get anything fixed, let them take all the time they want, just demand proper packing so at least it arrives in good condition.

How do you size images before uploading them?
Shadows replied to Severus's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Hmmm. This sounds like a number of different issues. If you are creating decals, you don't want to resize the originals or you will destroy the content, you want to make them at the correct size to begin with. If you are trying to create thumbnail images of decals to post in a topic, 128x128 is a good size and is done by using the standard resize method in Photo Shop. You would want to name the new file something like image1_thumb.jpg and post it with a link leading to the full size version. Normal photos should be somewhere around say 640x480 (or 480x640, depending). I have no idea what you mean by "upload failed" nor can I guess why you would ever try to increase the size of a picture. You may want to start by checking out the Tutorials Index, it contains a lot of information about image resizing, and if that doesn't help, post more information and someone will try to help, I'm sure. -
Well, that was stupid. Or maybe not. Let's search their pockets while they're unconscious. It might go a long way to proving whether or not they are involved in this whole situation, and as they are unconscious and I have this loaded revolver to discourage interference from their relatives, I think that's exactly what we will do now.

Of the whole first series, this is probably the most similar to existing parts, but they didn't go cheap and recycle anything that wasn't already perfect for the job. Instead, we get a new head, new torso, new 3L bar with white ends, white hands and a top hat at a low suggested price, so I can't complain. Now I just need to get one of those giant killer Belville bunnies to finish off the ensemble. Thanks for another great review, CopMike!

People commented on the work, you ... did nothing. Before worrying about their posting, worry about yours, please. Thanks! -
Red Moon Confirmation & Discussion thread
Shadows replied to Hinckley's topic in LEGO Mafia and Role-Play Games
the game, wouldn't imagine quitting and letting you off that easy! Keep up the great work, but if we have any more "find the torches" puzzles... -
Oh look! Nice show!

I probably deserved that. Makeup sex?

I think we managed it quite nicely last time, let's just do that again!

My girlfriend has been the same way. Let's talk later. Can't think of a thing... I want to run back and forth between the two rooms with timestamps to prove when they are shown! Oh, just forget it. I'd like to examine the spear, move it around, see if the arm controls a pulley, etc. Yeah, something evil. I really do find it amusing that you always gravitate towards the things cultists would want. To be honest, I'd probably shoot you in the head if the voice in the sky would allow it. What do you say, voice? Well, good thing he's dead, huh?
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Oh, sorry, it was nothing. So... shall we move on now and look for those stones and such?

Yay! The first of hopefully many PoP reviews and it's one with lots of new goodness for us! Thanks for presenting this, Ricey, I had no idea it was coming! Oh shut up, you.

Finally, men, you've done it! After 2 days of getting nothing done, you've made the General proud and brought honour back to this regiment by coming together to convict the scum! Who wants some sausage?

Closed/concluded questions and answers
Shadows replied to sologuy369's topic in Forum Information and Help
No, I don't think this appropriate at all, especially coming from a brand new member. Just no. -
Back and forth we go. We tried to kill Pvt. Reutal day after day and failed, almost like the voice in the sky was helping him live on, maybe to tell us something, so let's try a new approach... Pvt. Perot, you presented your information through another soldier like a coward. You didn't stand behind it that day and even called it into question. You haven't provided anything further. You could be right, but all you've done is cause us to be inactive. So, per your request to test your sanity by killing someone, the only person you can rightfully offer is yourself, so here you go. Vote: Pvt. Perot / TinyPiesRUs And if you end up being loyal, we can kill the other two next. In the end, we still gain.

I'd like to get up close behind Diesel and apply my strong, muscular body to help him get it moving. Then we'll work on that fountain.

I mean the resulting model, clearly you have to buy that 4th or your life will be incomplete.

I'd like to look under those grey altar-y things for torches and if that fails, push on some of the tiles around the wolf heads looking for a compartment. After that, I'd like to call 1-800-TORCHES, I hear they offer a wide variety of styles and are currently advertising free shipping on qualifying orders over $25 during the Red Moon.

Madness! I really like the 3x2 but that dodgy photoshop is pure

This is insane! With all that skipping and la-la-ing and oh-my-wife-ing, I thought we finally had a deserter! Now we have lost a Provost to gunshot? How do we not make the hearing and discovery of this sooner? Surely someone must have seen something! Start presenting the new evidence, gentlemen, we have a vote to make today!
