  1. ill fix that mishap, as for the old peices, yeah its a bummer that they dont have many key pieces like castle walls, weapons, or decent animals, thats why i think for a long while the only sets that would be able to be recreated are the smaller ones, hopefully by nex year though they will start to add more and more pieces to brickfactory
  2. how did you do the engine, is it a custom one from ground up, or are you using something like tv3d, or darkspaces?
  3. highschool and college are weird, In highschool i was definately not playing with lego after all image means a lot, and at that age the most omportant thing about school is finsing who you are. Since i started college i found that i dont care what other people think, and anything is cool if you make it cool (cept rape that aint cool ever) besides me being an architecture major (probably has to do with me playing with legos as a kid) made me find them back naturally when i was making a quick mockup house. The way i see it, legos will be very important in making quick models, i can make a 3d one on computer, or a 3d one out of bricks in half the time with something to actually give the customer (im sure when i am in the industry i will be able to afford much more realistic figs and cars and stuff) so yeah, lego in high aint so cool, in college way rad
  4. basically a tower made from some pieces i have lying around and inspired by one of my first lego set ever, and one of my favorite factions, thje royal knights Front view with open doors Isometric view with the king The minifigs in the MOC Sorry if the pics are grainy, it was taken with my phone EDIT : Image Resize
  5. well the other day i realized that i had no pieces for my beloved renegade raft (i love that set, it was my second set ever, first was black monarchs ghost) so i decided to give brickfactory a try and lo and behold i made it, So basically im asking anyone who is bored or whatever to recreate classic sets on brickfactory and post the link 1733 Renegade Raft http://shop.lego.com/Product/Factory/Produ...fc-383b747ed0c3
  6. Your right brick miner, adventureers were awesome, which is why i got so angered when i saw the indy 4 lego rumour Also kids have been buying starwars toys for over 30 years, barbie for 40, tnmnt for 20, batman for 30 or so. people will buy the same brand so i disagree with you on that 5150
  7. I dont know about you guys but im sick of these lego license's. Lets have a quick look Star Wars Disney Avatar Sponge Bob Indiana Jones (possible) Harry Potter Thomas & Friends Bob the Builder Batman Spider Man Jurassic Park/Steven Spielberg Isnt it ironic that a company that prides itself in thinking and CREATING makes 11 themes on franchises in less than 10 years (and its becoming more frequent). Im sorry but i hate that, and thats what drove me into my dark ages. Look at it, legos spends most of its R&D into its co-branded products because they have a steep liscense that they have to pay for, this takes out money from its own r&d which creates more or less stale products. Im sure all AFOL can agree and atest to this. Noticed how lego had its themes start to suck around 97-98 (developing SW) where as the years before (when i was just a wee kid and major lego fan) their themes ruled. The reason why lego has been able to get away with creating subpar and down right crappy products is because they have a label that guarantees them to be sold. People will always buy things for their label, and when it has two very big labels (lego and the brand) it is bound to be sold. Look the mighty castle line of 07, even though it is a huge step up form the previous decade of castle sets, compare it to the pre-liscense lego. The royal knights, black knights, dragon masters, it pales in comparison. How about mission mars, in the face of classic ice planet, or spyrius, its downright pitiful. However what angers me most is this latest rumour, which will most likely be true with Indy Jones 4. They are replacing the adventurers theme, with this crap. Im sorry to all indy fans, but i dont want pieces to recreate a movie scene, but rather pieces to suit my visons of making a temple or pyramid. Does anyone else share my views?
