I might be visiting on sunday!

This will surely happen if this doesn't end now. If you all payed some attention than you should have noticed Nekchir is "taking a break", so staff is handling it. Anything else you don't like, use the report button. So from now on just things about Nexo Knights!

Kyrrath Old Mill (Husbandry-minichallenge)
Ecclesiastes replied to jaapxaap's topic in Guilds of Historica
Awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the buildings put together at Legoworld. -
Mr. McDuck has made this wonderful scenery. Especially the variety of the houses makes this very appealing to look at. It almost makes you want to be a minifig just to make a walk through this harbor town. Check out more details in history!

What about just reading back a few pages instead of asking people to repeat the speculation?

I will be there as well. And as previous years with a new layout made together with members from Lowlug. Awesome to hear you can come!(didn't expect less)

"Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.." MOC-expert Rolli has made this fantastic model of Captain Hook. The expression on his face is priceless as he's in quite a pickle. Make sure to check it out in Special Themes Forum!

Back in 2008 -yes it’s been 7 years already- there was a small robot that stole the hearts of many. Wall-E was his name, the small waste robot with the cute eyes. Wall-E followed his friend Eve on an adventure in outer space. And now Wall-E can have new adventures in our homes, because he became the 12th Lego Ideas set! Set Information: Set Name: Wall-E Number: 21303 Theme: Lego Ideas Year: September 2015 Pieces: 677 Price: $49,99,- USD/ €49,99,- Links: https://ideas.lego.c.../1-blog/post/38 Extra Info: Number 12 of the Lego Ideas series The Box As with all the Lego Ideas boxes, there’s a lot of attention to detail. The main colour of the box is Wall-E’s colour and it even shows the dirt or rusty parts he has. Of course it also shows the LEGO logo and the logo of Disney Pixar as that’s the studio that created Wall-E. The front and back of the box are showing different poses of Wall-E. This shows that there are a lot of possibilities to pose him in. The tall sides of the box are both showing parts of the movie. One with actual movie footage and one with the LEGO version The Parts When picking up the box you can feel it’s filled up quite nicely. There’s almost no room for the bags to fly through the box. Opening the box proves that it’s indeed stuffed with bricks. It contains a total of 9 bags. While sorting, it shows that there’s a lot of variety in parts and colours. Not just a bunch of basic bricks, but a lot of plates and (modified) tiles. Which is a good thing because that means it’s not just stacking basic bricks, so that means more attention to detail. There are also quite a lot of technic parts, which you wouldn’t expect when looking at the box. And of course the best parts: Printed tiles. It always makes me happy not seeing any stickers, because this means no trouble to put them on straight. And they won’t come off or tare in time. Of course the printed parts contain the name Wall-E, but it is also a nice surprise to see a tile showing the battery level. Wall-E can go nuts on waste, because he’s fully charged! The Instructions The front of the instructions has the same image as the box and the booklet is nicely bound containing 126 pages! The first page starts with explaining who Wall-E is and what he did in the movie. Of course everyone knows his name, but I for one didn’t know or forgot what it stands for. So for everyone else who forgot: Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class. The next page shows the designer of this set. And I was kind of surprised it was built by someone who was so closely involved with the movie and even built a Lego version during production! This proves again, AFOLs are everywhere. The last page shows all the moving abilities the model has. Building Step 1-7 Just starting, but it already shows snotting and a technic pin for the tracks. Step 8-14 In seven new steps there’s just little progress. There’s a hatch now which means playability! Step 15-31 The official model is not completely square. They made a crack with slopes to achieve a slightly off-square look. Step 32-42 His body starts coming together and the beginning of the neck is added. Step 47 Wall-E’s arms can move and you can see how it works. The pin connector hole just slides over a technic axle. Step 48-50 The body is almost complete here, just in need of a few tiles. Step 51-58 Now the body is complete and all the technic pins are in place to put the tracks on. Step 69-89 When looking at the box, you don’t expect that many technic parts, but as you can see, the frame that holds the tracks is completely technic and it looks really good. Step 90-91 And ready to drive! He’s even got a friend to join him. The cockroach. Which has a clever design as it should be tiny. Step 92-108 And the neck is finished. The neck turns out to be the weakest part of the model when finished. The pin that’s connected to the liftarm just sits too loose. And the hinge bricks aren’t capable of keeping the head up in most positions. Step 109-154 Both the eyes take up more than a quarter of the whole instructions booklet, which is no surprise as they contain a lot of pieces and a lot of SNOT. Step 155-177 The arms come last. And especially the hands are well made. They look like a replica of Wall-E’s hands in the movie. Step 178 Wall-E is done. Afther building is done, there's just a few basic spare pieces left. Finished Moving the eyes. Moving the arms. Rating: Design: 8/10 – The model is instantly recognizable as Wall-E. The right proportions and a lot of attention to detail. Although it does look like Wall-E just came rolling out of the factory because his paint job looks brand new, which is inconsistent with the movie. Also the head is a bit too heavy. When picking up the model, the head starts spinning on the technic pin and the hinge bricks aren’t able to hold the head up in several positions Parts: 8/10 – A great diversity in colours and parts and of course three exclusive printed tiles! Building: 6/10 – The box states 12+, but I’m convinced my neighbour’s eight year old should be able to make this model as well. Especially because the steps are quite small. Playability: 6/10 – This is clearly a set to put on display. It’s posable in a lot of different ways and you can drive it around, but again, when you do the head starts having a mind of its own. Price: 10/10 – 49,99,- USD/ €49,99,- is a very fair price considering the amount of pieces. Overall conclusion: 8/10 – While the neck is a weak point of this model it still looks amazing. It looks alot like the original from the movie and can move in a lot of different ways. So yes this is certainly a Lego IDEAS must have.

Was it that obvious It will get it's own topic when we've got some more confirmation/news like photo's. To me it sounds just too much sci-fi, which crushes my wish to see something like the mill village raid again. And I fear to see something like Knights Kingdom again, which I think was the worst. But time will tell.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 14 Rumors and Discussion
Ecclesiastes replied to Robert8's topic in Special LEGO Themes
I think it's a shame this is called series 14. Sure there's some nice new parts, but I don't care for that many monster figures. The new Scooby Doo sets will have plenty of those. Why not call it Halloween Series, like the Olypmic and Simpsons. A regular series, like all the previous ones, should be a mix of everything and for everyone. -

The Algus Saga: Alexander fortress (pic heavy!)
Ecclesiastes replied to Gunman's topic in Guilds of Historica
I think this is one of the best examples of "Feast your eyes". I kept looking at all those details, and of course this topic is picture heavy. If it wasn't we couldn't see all the fun stuff going on and all those wonderful things you've created, like the attention to all the furniture. I also like the contrast in colors of all the different buildings, which works perfectly. It also helps that your photo's are insanely good! I surely hope you'll stick around here to show more of this stuff! -
We see a lot of great mocs popping up in Historica. But now and then there are just those creations that surpass great. Mocs like the Alexander fortress made by Gunman. He has been working on this beauty for a few months now, and it certainly payed of. Around every corner is something going on and the details, inside as well, are just eye candy. I could go on, but you just have to see it for yourself! So make sure to visit the Guilds of Historica subforum to check out these wonderful details!
