Shadows

For me, the modular buildings are a shelf display, literally something I would line a shelf with and gradually add to. I can't imagine trying to bulk a full city up to that level. Think of them like a Hollywood set for filming movies, tall and detailed facades (and now with more internal detail). They would actually be good for some Batman displays accordingly. On the other hand, I can't picture trying to do a whole city in modular, though I've seen some amazing displays of just that. In the end I think you have the idea, keep each to it's own. There is certainly nothing wrong with a display of each, I just wouldn't mix them. As for which to do, only you can decide that. If you want a bigger city, you're better off going with the city sets. If you want more detail but less overall volume, go modular. If you're crazy like me, go with both separately!

Since it's a duplicate of a closed topic, we'll just avoid the same potential mishaps avoided in the last one and close and merge them.

Good luck, but seeing a part listed in a colour it doesn't normally appear in got my attention. After consulting with the Queen of the Clones, it seems that the red fire helmets may actually be Best Lock parts. The fact that the only two on BL sold for .50 each is enough to raise some doubts. I'd still buy a couple at .50 to try my luck since it is a common test colour, but it would have to be the right kind of seller.

Pigtails Fabuland vacuum cleaner Lamppost 2 x 2 x 7 Fabuland Refrigerator (Complete Assembly) Far too many to list, but isn't it interesting that most of what we comes in the form of those pesky specialized (<insert that tiresome argument> even) pieces that everyone likes to complain about? I think most of the complaints are bull, to be honest. No one makes you use these parts, but look how much better they make things.

I'm not the slightest bit interested, to be honest. Age is important when you're a kid. "I'm 12!" Then "I'm 12 1/2!" Kids do that because they think it means something. When you reach 30 (or much sooner), you realise that it isn't your age but what you've done in your years and the maturity you show in the present. Those are hard to poll, so let's just skip the whole thing. Great idea!

Probably had a ticket like the rest of us. Can we shake the bus now to move Hector so we can get in? I mean, honestly, we could turn this bus on it's side if we tried, so we can certainly shake him out of the way. Oh, and Mr. Tour Guide, before you say no, shut up. Your days of running this little tour ended when people started dying. From now on, we're doing what we need to do to stay alive!

I've seen this movie! EVERYONE! SHAKE THE BUS! If we do this just right, Hector's head will fall off and roll down the steps. It still won't open the door, but it'll be mildly amusing.

Ew. Just ew. Well, at least his family will get half back. What? Oh, no, I didn't mean that, I meant the MOTEE tours "half off for dismemberment" guarantee. And as the preacher said at the end of the sermon, "let's get the flock out of here." When we get to the bus, I want to search it thoroughly for the crown. Or the legs.

No. Just no. I'm not sure why I ended up with this but it's too associated with me to change now, so this is it...

We saw a shadow in the jungle, but then you screamed and it disappeared. Maybe related, but if so then the thief probably isn't part of the group, and I think it's more likely the cultists collecting things than some random shadow. Let's search everyone, and the bus too! I noticed part of the group seemed to conveniently head to the bus during this and that would be a great hiding place.

You, sir, are amazing. Simply amazing. No, not simply amazing, you're the most complicatedly wonderful form of amazing possible. I can't believe you managed all of this! She really is!

You're not alone.

I don't know if that qualifies as any form of purist, but I do understand it. If I want a minifig for parts, I buy two of the set (or two of the figure on Bricklink) and keep one in it's original state. In your example, I would buy two drawbridge defenses and keep one as is. At that point I could use both the entire second set and it's minifigs for whatever else. Mentally, however, I would keep track of what doesn't belong in MMV and at some point it would be separated back out. I do understand the part about it not feeling right sometimes, but have found that this works fairly well for me. Then again, I also buy huge random minifig lots on eBay and 'restore' them, turning the figures back into the combinations they were originally designed as. I collect every variation of every minifig in that way, so I may have 10 virtually identical figures, but with different leg colours or hair. Yes, it might be a tiny bit OCD, but don't let it worry you too much, look where it's gotten me!

Finally this trip is looking up! *rimshot* I think we've effectively named two good methods to save her. Let's wait and see which one we do...

Yeah, seriously junior, put that thing away before someone loses an eye...

Try to wrap your legs around the pole like ... Oh, forget it. How about we all pick up this big piece of scaffolding and hold it as high as we can so you can drop down on it. If enough of us held it over our heads, it would only be a couple of feet below you.

Monorail. Seriously dude, how does anyone get anywhere around here? We walked. Duh... As for what we were doing, it's kind of private, but I guess at this point there is no point worrying about such things. We've hit a bit of a rough spot in our relationship and were discussing things when we saw a shadow. It looked almost human, but then the screaming started and it disappeared. On the way back, I found this! *holds up a large canine tooth from some sort of animal* I'll come with you, wielding my newly acquired giant kitty tooth. I would have, but I wasn't anywhere near there yet.

It's over. Shut up now.

Happy Birthday KimT! May your day be filled with the reaped souls of your miserable enemies, or at least the SW TFOL Clone Commanders and other such named dorks.

Well, ok, if you insist, I suppose I could consider joining this band of merry soldiers.

I'm fairly certain that was in my character info, which if I remember correctly was entitled "The guy who could have saved their sorry megablocks if they'd only listened to him instead of going to hide in the basement." By the way... no one likes a smart-megablocks bird faced freak demon from hell. I'm just saying...

I've got a bad feeling about this ...

WAIT! EVERYONE CALM DOWN! DON'T PANIC! Um, you'd probably panic less if I yelled less, huh? Ok, so this is simple! SIMPLE! If the cultists are here to collect items, spill blood and free the demons, all we have to do is stop solving puzzles and finding things. If we don't find things, they can't use them! Tsch... if only people thought as clearly and intelligently as I do. Now, I suggest you all take out your towels, find a nice comfy spot and sit out this full moon nonsense without trouble. What? You people didn't bring towels? Oh dear, I'm traveling with amateurs. A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker traveler can have . . . any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with. To think that you people would go anywhere without one... maybe you deserve to have demons eat your soul, or whatever it is they do.

*stops scoffing long enough to suggest...* Let's read the safe paper!
