Hi guy's and girls !! I'm planning a trip to Germany in 2 weeks and I was asking myself something. A while ago I saw a list on the internet with the parts in the pick-a-brick wall's in the various shops. And by all my searching, I can't find the site ( well, I believe it was a site ) Who can help me out ??? thnx in advance, Grtz Saint

Well "1974" , I reguraly see questions like this popping up, so a small section of the forums for explaning stuff like this isn't a bad idea. I see a lot of stuff I want to see upclose , or a little bit more explained . grtz Saint

So, Yes it is possible ! I did some experimenting myself ( sadly not with the monorail stuff ) and from the picture you can see the incline a bit. I think you can always trying E-mailing this person through the site, perhaps he can narrow it down for you, or even specify everything you need. ( I guess this is not big scary secret nobody knows about ) I for one think that that kind of info should be a bit more "open sourced" , who needs it, can get it. Perhaps a section here on EB ?? grtz Saint

Wow.. nice !! I've been thinking about some landscaping myself and this is right up my ally !! The model lends itself for a whole lot of backgrounds , not only maya , was thinking along the lines of Yavin 4 ( Star Wars ) and I think with some adjustments , even Post-Apoc. It's got the "simple but effective " factor !! Put some more jungle trees on it, take out some stones, add some brick build boulders, and you're all set . Grtz Saint

I agree with the rest, just put it in boxes , tape it up, label it and put it away instead of selling ! I have a lot of regret for selling a part of my collection a few years ago, now I have to spend a lot of money just to get some parts back ! Grtz Saint

Nice !! I like the overal feel of the machine, but instead of a sight thing in front of the good docter, perhaps a lot of levers ?? Somehow this crazy machine screams levers !! to me ! Grtz Saint

Whoa ! I like it. It's like a a "special team drophip" With some minor adjustments ( color , loosing the guns atop ) you've got a sweet little mean machine. I personaly don't like the flickfire missles , but heck , in overal it's a good Mod. With a little more thought, I would replace the topcannons for a bit smaller one's . Good luck with building this beast of a (smaller) machine ! grtz Saint

This topic can be locked !! I found a seller !!

Finaly bought myself 3 books for reverance !!! Incredible cross sections from Ep 1 , 2 and 3 !!

Sadly, they only have the MF one in stock, I get redirected towards a shop in America... Shipping towards The Netherlands is skyhigh, so I'll keep this option open as a last resort. Thanks !!

Hello Eurobricks !! I'm searching for a book, not any book, but a book with the incredible crossections of Star Wars Vehickles ! To be specific , the one with the Clone Turbo Tank on front. I'm looking to buy it, but without a Credit Card , I can't get far, I only have paypall, so my options are limited . I prever a seller here in the Netherlands, ( who is willing to part with it ) for a normal rate , but any seller will do if you accept paypal. If you feel the need to help me on my way to this book, PLEASE ! help me. Also , I'm looking for others aswell, I have the one with the MF on the cover, but I want the one with the CTT on the cover most urgently. I really want this book, but sadly the release date was 2005, and living in an area that doesn't have a lot of good bookstore's ( like the American Bookstore ) it's really difficult to get hold of. So in short : Help me !! grtz Saint

Well... Just a small update I have my own LEGO-room right now, and I'm starting to figure out were everything will go. As a SW-figs collector, I wanted a few displays so I can display them proper... I have those but they take up to much room, so right now I'm building my first big showcase !! The most time is spend figuring out what and where to store my parts, and it's getting to the point that I really want to know what I'm going to do with 9 kilo's of 1x16 technic beams I really need a good plan someday !!!

I PM'ed you

In the middle of switching rooms for my LEGO So a lot of handeling LEGO, no building . Now I have a room dedicated to LEGO and all to myself !! Grtz Saint

Well, I started with the cockpit, , next up are the wings ! We've got a lot to do around the house, so I hope to be working on it soon ! Getting back at the "feeling like minfig " discussion , I would like to state that I think that it is to small, I buy a UCS thing, don't expect it to have minifigs, but expect a LOT of small details in this line, hell, the VW camper had lots more ! grtz Saint.

Germany doesn't have a hotel, there's a lot of accomedations through the S@H site , and through local travel agents you also can book lots of different things. You can go from a simple bed and breakfast to a full blow hotel. Like I said, I've been there twice, first time I spend a night in a hotel , second time a few days in a B&B. The quality in both times were great ! Germans are correct, clean nice people. I think the only advise I can think of is this : Check if they at least speak English, I had a lot of trubble the first time and there wern't a lot of Dutch people around to ask stuff . The Town of Ausburg is just around the corner, ( never been there ) , but I found out that the prices vary if you search a little further from the park.. ( closer is somewhat more expensive ). If you take picture's , don't forget to take some of the shops !!! grtz Saint

My experience is that Germany is better. I've been to both, and although Billund is the original, Germany is way better. I've been there twice and both times I've not been dissapointed about the LEGO store and the pick-a-brick store. The PaB store has a LOT of parts , and the discount-tent is great too !! The Billund trip was ... well... nah... not what I've been expecting really... I've been checking the England one too, I concider it very expensive.. so perhaps in the future just a daytrip of sorts. That's my 2 cents. Grtz Saint

Put it on a torso, create a little bit of friction ( like snapping it half , but not so drastic ) and pull the helmet ( or gorrilla head ) off. Works for me . grtz Saint

Who's the crazy one ?? The guy selling or the guy buying ???

I still believe DutchBricks is a better name. You guys did a good job on working people up , but please take in concideration that wherever people flok together, you get pro and cons , as a social " experiment " I can't see the fun of it, and then try to reflect it on the people who reacted poorly in your eyes. I like cracking a good joke on people, but letters and words are the worst kind of media to get your point across, you can't see the emotion on the faces, you can't tell if this is sincere or not. For years now I wish people a Good weekend on monday's , just to see who reacts, who feels the joke and whom are serieus. If they react with, " but's monday !" , I react with " Day after tommorrow and 2 night of sleep and it's the weekend !!! " just to get the people think on the positive side of live. Be very, very carefull about this kind of jokes gentlemen, it can backfire on you ! ( and that would be a shame ) grtz Saint

Because : 1 . Has everything in the world be American to be good ? 2. What is wrong with EuroBricks 3. Are there so many Americans on this site to justify the name change. 4. No Europeans here ? 5. you say to be democratic, this does not give me any options but voting in favor . 6. The word F*** yeah drives me up the wall, megabluck megabluck megabluck megabluck megabluck bhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ! 7. ohw yes, I'm fully aware that that says megablucks. 8. Still think this is a hoax ! 9. Since this is Fu**yeahMuricaBrick, the E-mail system does not work, 10. I want it to be DutchBricks!!! Because it ain't much ,if it ain't Dutch !! and : As finishing touch , God created the Dutch !! Reasons ?? got them , worked up ?? Nah , being negative is just another vote in favor it seems, so quit being "democratic" and get it done allready, so you can get back to buisness !!

I miss the option : megabluck what ?? I want it to be Eurobricks ! If you want to be really democratic, you should get your all your bases , even the negative one's. Sorry , I want it to be Eurobricks, even with the transision to Ameribrickys, I will keep revering the site as EuroBricks. What's next ?? Will the Star Wars forum transformed into the Disney's Star Wars with mickey Mouse Forum ? ( I even think it's still a april 1st hoax ) Ohw, and to be honest : I'll take option : megabluck No !

Well, I never said " It has no minifig/ it's not minifig scaled , I said : It feels like minifig . As a € 200 set, I expect nothing but the best , like buying a new car without windows nobody in its right mind would buy that. I wanted this model, I bought this model, I'll get it right ( in my mind ) , I don't like the gaps, I don't like the colours peeping through, so overhauling is the only option IMHO. To be continued !

I've been doing the SW -figs collecting a few years now , and since a couple of years started MOC-ing my own models. I haven't got the best of camera's , but a friend of mine, wants to help out with taking pictures, what takes a lot of logistic sadly. I'm in the proces of building a larger base ( diorama ) for my CTT , now with 3 LAAT-I and 1 LAAT-C , witch arn't on my brickshelf yet, again the lack of time and logistic involved are difficult. I attended the Brickmania fests a couple of times and I see the enthousiasmem for Star Wars by kids and adults alike, so I keep building ! I have too many projects in my head, little time and fewer bricks to do all of it . If I have a new MOC I post it here on EB, not being affraid of some critisism ( if it is not pissing vinigar or nitpicking ) I try to do something with positive advise . There is a whole universe in the SW universe ( ) and LEGO cannot possible make everything, so my advise is just to keep building !! Grtz Saint

I really don't know, I was there friday. I can tell you that there was a lot more than a " normal " toysXL, I hope that in the future there's going to be loose LEGO in pick-a-brick form.
