  1. They can be whatever you want them to be...that's the beauty of not knowing the "official" story. Example: I played with Star Wars Lego long before I ever saw the movies. I knew some of the names, but had many of their roles backwards (stormtroopers were the good guys fighting Darth Vader, etc.) Looking back, I think it was more fun that way. Back on topic, all I've heard about Insectoids was that their planet was invaded by giant bugs, so they used bug-shaped vehicles to blend in.
  2. Here's hoping the Lego Group keeps on going until the Last Judgment!
  3. So essentially a modernized version of 3737-1? That would be fantastic!
  4. Nice MOC! All it needs is an antenna to "scramble" enemy transmissions. Ok, had to reach pretty far for that one...
  5. Manatee A just swam to the Tarheel State! Thanks @CopMike!
  6. Heresy!
  7. You've managed to pack a lot of detail into a small package! Does it use binoculars as a coupling? I spent several minutes trying to find a tank engine in the picture before I realized what you meant!
  8. This may not be relevant, but if I may contribute my $.02: I read an interesting anecdote somewhere about the origin of our idea of "ninja wear." Apparently, stagehands in early 20th century Japanese plays dressed in all-black with their faces covered to blend in with the unlit areas beside the stage. At some point, a creative playwright or director got the idea to have the actors playing ninja to dress like the stagehands. The audience, used to ignoring black-clad stagehands, ignored the ninja character too - until he struck! The practice made its way from plays to movies, and the rest is history.
  9. Nice looking locomotive! The custom decals and lights add a lot to the realism. Also nice part use for the door handle.
  10. The update looks good! What power system (if any) do you use for the trains?
  11. In that case, just go with Starkiller Base!
  12. Yes. The ghosts are all the people Barney Fife shot off-camera while trying to holster his gun!
  13. I'm glad you found a minifig model that you can use. I wonder how many Lego bricks it would take to build the wall? :)
  14. That's a nice looking train! I especially like the detailing on the flatbed cars. Are the frames SNOT or tiled over? Logging trains are a fascinating subject, as companies cut so many corners and often used outrageously cheap equipment. I've even seen photographs of an engine with special grooved wheels - it was designed to roll on crude "rails" made of rough-hewn poles!
  15. You might try GrabCAD - it's my go-to source for 3D models of all kinds. I found several minifigs in their library...not sure how accurate they are, though. You could dimension the model you download and check it against a minifig with calipers.
  16. I'm not sure, but I think all you need is the BB code for each picture.
  17. Welcome! To add pictures, you can deeplink from flickr as explained here. I hope this helps!
  18. Looks great! All it needs is a death star in orbit built to the same scale!
  19. In combination with the reports of the children and Dino not being in the set, could this be evidence of a theme in the works?
  20. Just this morning, probably less than an hour ago.
  21. Oh no, they're back! I just reported a post advertising fake passports and IDs. I looked at the profile and they had some interesting answers to the questions: Favorite theme: Eurobricks Recently bought/built set: toils Interests: yes That last one got me! Perhaps we should require a fifteen--page essay from new members!
  22. That's a beautiful building with so many details! As others have said, the colors loik great together. (As an aside, the title made me think this could be the setting to a spin-off of "Where Are My Pants? from TLM1")!
  23. Nice engines! If it weren't for the blue background on the renders, I wouldn't be able to tell where the real prototypes end and the models begin!
  24. There was a set from 2002 called Tusken Raider Encounter that was based on a scene from AOTC where Anakin slaughters an entire village of Tuskens. Not the most kid-friendly subject.
