Opproperaar

I only heard about it today after my brother told me, since I don't frequent these forums on a regular basis anymore. Even though I didn't know him, I nevertheless knew what he meant to this community as a friend and a supporting member, the tragedy only the greater because of his young age. My thoughts go out to his family and friends and the EB community. I wish I'd come on here more often and got to know you, Dieter. Rust zacht, vriend.

A very lovely creation, very innovative yet very simple too. The simplicity still amazes me, even though this was built ages ago. I was wondering whether those clam shell side pieces you used (the ones from the star wars Slave I set), do they also come in other colours? I've tried looking them up but I have absolutely no idea what those pieces are called. My apologies if this is something I could have easily looked up somewhere myself, I tried but didn't come up with anything. (not that it 's my intention to bring back old threads or anything)

Despite never posting any more I still regularly visit this wonderful website and then I couldn't help but notice this topic Thanks for all the best wishes, guys, really appreciate it! I won't exactly be getting Lego though, instead it'll be a laptop (for birthday and educational purposes) since I just started uni. Knowing myself it probably won't be for the latter And as for myself, since I'm 18 I'll be buying this (with my own money that is)Don't worry it's just an airsoft replica, not a real one Yes, I would've changed the name but people know me by it now, so I just decided to not bother with it Ruben

Entry 4 It's ... well ... a sailing ship - and a cool and nifty one at that too. That being said I really liked the other entries as well. Especially entry 1 caught my attention as well. But 4, the sails, the rigging, the attention to accuracy!

Thanks guys, I got two books about (naval) history and three Halo novels (yes I'm a 'halo-nerd'), all five of which I'm very pleased with. I get to do my theoretical exam for free, I signed up for the free classes in school I'm not sure but I think the legal drinking -and acquisition age of beer and cigarettes is 16. Liquor's 18 I believe, but then again it's Belgium, I've never been asked for ID. But I'm not that interested in liquor and I only drink beer occasionaly What are jeekes?

I could go and on about our political system and all things involved, but I don't want to preach since I can't stand myself when I do All in all it is safe to say it's complicated, 6 governments, though I've never heard of the German community government. As far as I know they're just another language group, but administratively, they are simply included in the Walloon Community. I've got my savings at Fortis as well. So far I'm not worried yet, my savings are safe, for now... However, should the crisis also affect the savings then the government would have to pay for it which they simply can't. There's simply not enough money for it, besides the tax money they would use to reimburse us is our own money in the first place. But what alternative do we have?

I bet you thought of that all day Just kidding Happy Birthday Bonaparte, we'll be sure to celebrate it again the 31st - you get all the parties you lucky Boner party you!

Once again, I don't know about any of their recent sets but the three aforementioned sets I bought myself a few years ago had nothing wrong with them. Apart from the slight colour difference the quality was outstanding I'd say. I just checked the model on their website, while it's pretty good I still prefer their F-16 model. I was actually lucky enough to witness a demonstration by a Spanish Eurofighter on an airshow here in Belgium. Very impressive indeed, if only TLC came out with a military line. Exactly. I love TLC the most because they invented the toy that we all love and cherish, they started it. I can understand some members incredible loyalty but even though TLC produces the widest range of bricks by far, I am not shy to pick up a MB set and mix these with Lego when I think it adds to the overall look. Even though TLC is my principal favorite, in the end I value the toy and the building fun more than the company.

Mine doesn't need an explanation. Oh no, the truth is out ...

I have two of these and one of these And I for one can say I'm quite happy with them. They were cheap, the sets looked cool and IMHO they delivered what I expected of them. They even had some cool pieces and building techniques to boot! The carrier for one had a 2x2 plate with studs on either side. As for the quality issue, besides a small colour difference I couldn't tell which is which. The colour difference actually adds a bit to a final LEGO-Megabloks model too. If you do it tastefully it gives it a bit of a weathered look IMO. And if you don't want a colour difference then hey, use megabloks on the inside or don't use it at all! Simple, right? Convert to the dark side? I am on the dark side. Or whatever you'd like to call it. I advise you to pick up the set, it's what I'd do.

She didn't necessarily mean puking

It's true, he shaved me! Sne forgot to mention he can't hold his liquor all too well too (or so his girlfriend told us ) Bonaparte actually organised the party at which me met (and had a lot of fun) - we hope it will be equally fun next time. 31st of October ON! Greetings, Ruben and Errorist

1979 Pontiac Trans Am OR A 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air All in all though I'm much better off with my bicycle. Acquisition price and maintenance cost far less than any car and I get to work out a bit while I'm at it.

Though I am not entirely sure I believe it's the new name for the bad kids. Better stay clear of that one

Alors, ça serait une façon d'exercer notre français, non?

How very nice ... I'll reply but I probably won't win, my luck tends to fail me on many occassions Still, worth a shot ...

Well I have to admit that I didn't check India's official language statuts any thoroughly but it does further prove my point that Chinese is unlikely to be the world's next lingua franca. As mentioned, in this globalised world everybody knows at least one world of english, so to speak. Internet and the media make English stick far more harder than Latin or French ever did. I can imagine that to somebody completely inexperienced with Cinese or English English must be far easier to learn. Well the same could be said of Dutch. Some people say we in Belgium talk Flemish which is incorrect since both nations adhere to standard Dutch (Belgium also adheres to standard French and German btw). Flemish is simply a dialect but within it differs so much from region to region that there are actually pocket diaries being published for people from a different Flanders region so as to understand each other or even learn each other's dialect. I don't know if that's the same in say, England for example though.

In theory if i keep my expectations low, I should never be disappointed. ... In theory ... perhaps ... maybe? I would love to see a return of some classic pirates pieces, mainly cannons and shakos - even if it was just to drive down the insane prices asked on bricklink and ebay. I am not sure about things such as the kraken, at any rate it was believed by sailors at the time they existed and I've kinda always had a thing for stuff like Godzilla so if well executed it may just tempt me to pick up such a set. Sadly there's no collecter's ship or something like that listed in the set list That was my secret dream But, but, but - because I am the way I am - I'm going to wait for either official confirmation from TLC or visual eyecontact with the sets in the toy store. I shall be making daily phonecalls there

Those are all the ones I voted for I think. I was hoping the shark would make it ...

Go Belgium go! Let's have at least one medal! We have no medals, however there are some young promises in our Olympic soccer team. The semi finals soccer are Argentina-Brazil and Nigeria-Belgium with Belgium being the surprise there The match Belgium-Italy was highly entertaining. I wouldn't have given them a chance against Italy, even if Italy's team wasn't the regular national one. I still don't think there's much chance for a gold medal in the soccer competition but still, I think we're good enough to end with a place in the final three.

I'm sorry, can you be a bit more specific about what you mean? I wish I could. Sadly however I do not have the double deck carriage. If I happen to see one for a decent price I will most definitely pick it up.

Chinese has a numerical advantage yes, but let's not forget India which also has more than a million inhabitants. Besides, English is a lot more important in international trade and relations. Chinese on the other hand is concentrated in one country which doesn't improve its chances of it being taught abroad.

Also, if you have many language divided forums it'd be harder to make friends. The community would be far harder to participate in and thus people would simply restrict themselves to one forum. I can participate in a Dutch, French and English one and perhaps even a German one (though with a considerable amount of Dutch involved) but for the love of God don't ask me to go through all the trouble of learning all European languages. Many people simply wouldn't go through all that trouble HA! Welcome to Xboxlive ... The place where angry and agressive young males (mostly sex-deprived too) engage in a relentless and fierce scolding battle involving not only such popular sayings as "your mom ... (insert message here) ..." but also "We'll nuke the crap out of you if you don't speak English" and of course "Dude, I hate everything that isn't heterosexual, white, ultra conservative and not willing to suck some of my body parts".

I didn't even knowthere ever were 2 wide cars You forgot sex ...

Great review! I'd give this set an 8 at the least. It's just a tad too simple for my liking but other than that it looks great! While I'm a 4 wide car man I actually think this car looks rather horrendous. The main body seems way too low in comparison with the windows. The rare parts however do make up for it. Somehow, I feel like watching South Park now ... That was such a good episode
