Hello there It's been an awfull long time since I posted something over here. This is a custom projects I started years ago and finally finished (more or less, I still have troubles making decent pictures). The main theme is still the same, Duplo duo's. I used supersculpey for Yoda's head and Luke's hairpiece. For Luke's lightsaber I modded an antena with miliputt. At first I gave Yoda a cape, trying to do so in "the spirit" of Lego Duplo, but it didn't work well at all. So I just inspired myself by the minifigure. Hope you like it.

Hello, I rarely post here, since I don't have that much time anymore to make customs. But lucky for me, my daughter really likes drawing Duplo and Lego characters. That gives me some comfort For her last creation we entered a contest and we need likes to win it. So if you have a facebook account and like her drawing, she is 5 years btw, please click on the link and like! Thanks, Bob

woow, heavy, they really are doing a good job in ripping of. From a certain point of vieuw it's really admirable, the hard work they put in it. And from the otehr point of vieuw it's defenaitly wrong. It's strange that they can get away with this so easely. The are stealing from Lego, Disney, WB etc... mayor companies, They must be able to work togeather and get some super lawyers on this.

Interesting topic indeed. Don't have much to ad. I also don't really like those reselers/investors, but collectors should know that by now that you have 2 years to buy a set, if you really want it, don't wait and buy it straight away, don't give those reselers a chanse. Couldn't we spice this topic up with a poll?

Testing, ein zwei drei, testing uno dos treis Okay, think I get it.

these are even better and from Springfieldbricks: http://www.springfieldbricks.com/2014/05/juste-rire-nouveaux-sets-the-simpsons-pas/

Thanks, and yes, it doesn't stand under te regulations of lego iedas anymore. I sumbited my Batman idea a year ago, but shortly after they changed the rules, they took it down. It's not really a kid movie, the whole idea is making Duplo not really suited for children. Anyway, if you haven't seen Donnie Darko yet, go do it NOW! ;)

In the Fun stores Belgium there is a real overload, every store has 10 boxes i think. It was prety easy to get all of them. That said, i really like the figures, but Homer is my least favorite sculpt. His head goes slightly bigger upwars which gives him a little nerdy look instead of the fat look he should have.

the face is painted, thanks for the nice remarks

It's been a long while, but I finally managed to finish another Duplo Duo. So presenting, from one of my altime favourite movies... Donnie and Frank. If you haven't seen the movie yet, go see it now! No really, it's a great movie. and a box offcourse.

I really like this set, but the box is so borring.

Gotte be honnest, these figures are above my expectations. I know I don't have mush good things to say about the new sets and upcomming lines. As a Simpson fan and Lego fan I was against combining the two. I saw no point in it and I thought it wouldn't do eitehr one good. But I have to say I was wrong. The minifigures look very good, almost perfect (almost, since I notices some hips don't fit that good). Anyway, also a cool move that we don't need to buy expensive sets to get all the main charecters. Good job Lego!

One year is not that long, but correct from a commercial point of vieuw. If a set takes lognger to get that many votes, it will probably not sell that well I can't find anything about using customized parts, did I mis it or is the rule gonne?

The Duplo Catwoman and Joker are cute, but I really don't like the Batman, A little disapointed, I was looking forward to this, even if it ruined my Cuusoo plans, I will only buy the Catwoman.

Looks very good. It's indeed simple, but very accurate.

that Hulk is cool

I fixed the problem, I will take new pictures, but since the Cuusoo rules have changed, I don't really feel like putting all my energy into a project which will I never get to post.

These are very good and look like real lego. The one thing I don't like is the Thing's colour, the orange is to dark, you loose some of the detail because of that.

thanks dudes, got some valuable tips. If and when I'll sell a part of my collection, I will let you know.

Thanks for the info Dino, I was wondering if 5 € a piece was resonable or not. I would buy the same way as you propose, but I wonder if people would make that investement, since it's far worth more than 300. I know I would never dare to do that.

Good point, it already bothers me that on Bricklink I can't know if the bricks are old or new quality plastic.

Hello, I am really considering to downsize my Star Wars Lego army. The time seems right to spend that money on other more important things and I have noticed I wouldn't mind anymore if I didn't have every OT figure. The problem is, I don't want to waste my time selling every figure individualy, even if I would get more money in the end. Problem numebr 2 is, do people actualy give that mush money for huge lots. I have the impression that European collectors, like me, don't seem to buy huge / expensive lot's. So my questions are, is it worth it, will people pay thatmush money, even if the price is resonable. and were is the best place to sell, eBay Eurobricks, Ebay USA (expensive shipping) I would sell these (only the most interesting): soldiers: 30 stormtrropers 10 snowtroopers 10 scouttroopers 20 rebel soldiers 10 hoth soldiers (old style) 10 hoth soldiers (new style) 10 endor soldiers 10 Episode 2 clones 10 Episode 3 clones 10 Clone Wars clones special figures: Gold C3PO Silver stormtrooper Shiny Darth vader White Boba Fett Red Darth Vader (helmet) Red Boba Fett (helmet) Plain green Boba Fett (helmet) Plain flat silver Boba Fett (helmet) Boba Fett With printed legs from Cloud City (this is the one which makes this disision so hard) 1 Dewback 1 Wampa and lots of other figures... I'm not looking to sell them, so please don't ask me for something individual (unless it's insane) I would just like to know what is a reasonable price to ask... Thanks,

Yup, that one is safe. But in the future I will never do Lego liscenses again. Just saw this: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/AB920174/lego2014/img_0961.jpg

yup, I actualy think it's just a coincidance.

sure, when I can get that blur out of my camera
