Foolish LEGO Human Errors You've Made.
PocasNuckie replied to ReZourceman's topic in General LEGO Discussion
Ok. My worst deal ever was: Background first: I am a disabled person, and I have a bit of a lack of strength in muscules in general, and hands particulary on this case, so I use a small (and weak, but enough) rubber hammer to help me put the pieces well together (when I can, I ask my parents to put the pieces together, but this is not always possible), and not make sets colapse or whatever. For the actual thingy : I've tried multiple times to use the hammer to properly attach antennas to bricks (don't ask me why but antenna's base are hard to fit in the studs=, and always always (plain dumb) i got them badly bended at the end. Nothing a bit of strength applied doesn't fix alright (not perfect), but still ... Cheers -
For my choices: I voted Blacktron II, although i really like a lot of the others. It's a shame there isn't an option saying "All". Next I voted, for the overall design of the sets. Space in general and all connected to it, it's an area of interest for me since I was a child, and these sets depict perfectly most of my child dreams related to space adventures. At last, I voted for the Ships, as they are the proeminent part of these lines, and of the space exploration in general. Cheers

Hello. Searching (or atleast trying) the Buy/Sell/Trade/Finds zone, I found out it's quite a mess to identify what is what. There is people reporting findings, selling sets, whatever, everything mixed up, and most time topic titles aren't just accurate or particullary clarifying at all. For the sake of organization and making things easier for people, please study the following possibilities: - Create SubForuns for Buyings | Sales | Trades | Finds ; (sales and trades can be 1 only, it's alright) - Make the use of identification tags mandatory on topics. I apologize if this has already been pointed out, and also apologize if this is not the right place to post (mods are free to move). Cheers, Pocas

I was just running to EuroBricks to find out about exactly the same thing. Not cool. *n* Pocas

I have : Gate Assault Grand Titan Striking Venom Mobile Defense Tank Sentai Fortress And that is it. SW leaves very few

Geez. Put that pic smaller , lol. Now what would be cool (and I reminded this because of aayla's post), would be an AT-PT, with some yellow clones, and of course a new minifig, Aayla Secura! At the price mark AT-PT is set, and considering the vehicle itself it's nothing to complicated, I wouldn't surprise myself to see an a new exclusive minifig there. And come on, they already opened the hostilities with Kit Fisto. Pocas

No, stress. I was just joking around! *sweet* Pocas

No LoL. I didn't even knew there was a character with my surname in the series. :-D All I know is there is a street and also a theater in London with the name Almeida, atleast that's what my father and sister tell me. Pocas

1 for the Scout Trooper! Pocas

*cough* Almeida *cough* :-D Pocas

What was the last movie you watched?
PocasNuckie replied to EbonHawk's topic in Culture & Multimedia
That is a nice question ... i sincerely don't remember at all ... i think it was Star Wars Return of the Jedi ... atleast it's the last one I can remember .... *wacko* Pocas -
I love Vader's Jack, although Timento's one is also a good piece of work. Congrats to both. Pocas
-
Mostly agreed. And now I think, did the Rebels had any speeders at all? I mean, speeders that are on the movies? Pocas
-
Thanks. I'm trying not to be to obvious in my choice, and instead using a bit of sarcasm (involved in a good story) to make the weaker guy win. I think that makes this game a lot more fun. Cheers, Pocas

Hum, hard one to decide ... I think, one day, Anakin will be walking around in the sands of Tatooine, he will be so distracted and busy whinning about how powerful he is, and how Obi Wan is holding him back, that the Jawa will come and smash Ani under his Sandcrawler (yes, you can see how distracted he was not to notice such big thing). Jawa wins. Pocas

St. Jimmy - Green Day

Temjeel ties Kit Fisto's hands with his Lekku. Kit get's completely battle useless, looses his equilibration and falls down like a fool. Temjeel puts himself standing over Kit's body, waving his weapon in the air, like any victorious warrior. Pocas *vader*

Which is better, Star TREK or Star WARS?
PocasNuckie replied to vahkimetru's topic in Culture & Multimedia
Star Wars of course ... I think that was common knowledge accepted for long :-D But yeah, I like Star Trek and Stargate too, just not with the same geekyness i like Star Wars. *yoda* Pocas -
I feel your pain. I pass a lot of nights, just taking the Clone Pilot in and out of my V-Wing Cockpit, like 100 times, before going to sleep. Open Cockpit - Take Pilot Off - Put Pilot In - Close Cockpit ... and this for a lot and lot of times ... I for once need help too ... :'-) Pocas

I am definetly needing more Police. My Lego State is getting to big, and the current police force isn't just handling the whole thing. I for one expect a lot from that Truck! *y* Pocas

I just loved it. It's very well done, and it was about time for Sensei to get his battle machine. It's impressive (and i've been commenting this to myself a lot), on how after having the basic structure of the Mecha you have millions of possibilites around you to do. For that, I say thank to LEGO a lot for bringing the EXO-Force line. Congrats! *sweet* Pocas

Here goes my comments on this list - - Racers and Technic don't interest me at all. - Indiana Jones, neither. May get a small set just for the sake of having the MiniFig. - I for one (and bash me at will) am extremely happy with more Police sets, I am a huge fan of those, and I need new stuff for my forces (afterall someone must keep the LEGO's safe :-D ) - Exo-Force looks promising, atleast from the names. Could they be some kind of transformers with a robot mode (2 legs) and an animal mode (4 legs?). I for one don't know, but that would be very cool. - Star Wars, is the expected and what we already know. Too bad the set that interest me most, Rogue Shadow, is so expensive, but i'll try and grab it anyways. - LEGO Impulse. Yes, it definetly looks like somthing to buy off impulse. Now I have a reason to go more times to the supermarkets and all! *sweet* Pocas

Hello EuroBricks Community. I am Pedro Almeida (known around as PocasNuckie , but also a lot more names, depending on where you find me), I am 17 years old , and I'm from Portugal (we definetly flooding this place, damn portuguese :-D ). I'm a recent made member of PLUG (Portuguese Lego Users Group). I know EuroBricks for quite sometime, but never really bothered to regist here, but I was bored just know, and decided to give a try. I am a disabled person (i walk in a electric wheelchair), and never got much of a common social life, so I developed must of my life around computers, and of course LEGO. It all started when i had my 6 or 7 years old. I found a box of my old sister, with a 48x48 with road baseplate, a few red bricks, some flowers, doors, and 2 minifigs, and for quite sometime, that was my LEGO. Later on, in one Christmas, my mom wrote a letter to LEGO Portugal, asking if they could send me some LEGO to cheer me up on Christmas. They we're very kind, and set me a set of Rock Raiders (one with a lot of minifigs), send me a SPACE car, and also Star Wars Endor Speeder Bikes, and Luke's Landspeeder (i loved these last 2 since i was and still am a star wars geek). From there, i started getting sets here and there , making some MOC's (i used to do some very nice firefighter cars and all). Another of the great turn points, came when i got in several forums online, mainly FBTB and then PLUG's forum. It really made me found what LEGO means to me, and made me start emptying my wallet and driving my parents crazy for spending like 1000
