NOTE: AS OF Aug-12 THIS COLLECTION IS STILL AVAILABLE, THANKS! Hi all! I have a decent sized collection of complete sets from the mid 1990s that I'd like to sell as one collection. I came across this collection as a giant bucket, and spent a good amount of time cleaning, sorting and finding the missing pieces via Bricklink. If you are interested, please PM me and we can talk. Thanks for looking! (please note that all of these sets are 100% complete, but have no boxes and most likely no stickers; all instructions are included in varying degrees of quality) Dark Forest 6046 Hemlock Stronghold 6079 Dark Forest Fortress (this has the worst condition instructions; it has a large tear missing on the front cover; the rest of the booklet is fine) Exploriens 6815 Hovertron 6815 Hovertron 6856 Planetary Decoder 6899 Nebula Outpost 6899 Nebula Outpost 6938 Scorpion Detector Spyrius 6835 Saucer Scout 6939 Saucer Centurion 6959 Lunar Launch Site Space 1785 Introducing Crater Critters RoboForce 2152 Robo Raptor Space Police II 6897 Rebel Hunter Ice Planet 2002 6898 Ice-Sat V Dragon Knights 6020 Magic Shop 6048 Majisto's Magical Workshop 6082 Fire Breathing Fortress Police 6664 Chopper Cops Aquanauts 6125 Sea Sprint 9 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub Aquasharks 6135 Spy Shark 6155 Deep Sea Predator 6190 Shark's Crystal Cave Unitron 1787 Crater Cruiser 1793 Space Station Zenon Additionally there is a large bucket of pieces of similar vintage (including minifigs) that I could not properly classify into proper sets (probably too many missing pieces to identify). I would also be interested in selling these.

Sure thing. I may take some time in the future and make some more (nicer ones too), with a little variety. I'll post them if I ever get around to it.

Here ya go, I 'shopped one up for you real quick. Feel free to use it... or not Full rez link (1920x1080): Futuron Backdrop (imgur)

I was wondering this as well. Anyone have any information about this?

Signed! It would be great if we didn't have to jump through hoops like last year for the castle set, but even that is better than no chance at all! :pir-skull:

Smeg! ...give quiche a chance...

Oh you've found a hole in my tutorial!!! Well I'll have to plug it at some point For now, however, here's a (less than desirable) solution for you: It seems that the colors on Peeron don't perfectly match the ones from Bricklink (which is where that color palette was built from). If you go to the Bricklink Color Catalogue, you can see where I got the colors from. I used the HTML (hex value) colors to build the colors in that palette. Back in photoshop, if you open Image->Mode->Color Table... and then click on one of the colors, you can get the hex value of the color from the text field labeled with the # sign (under RGB, it should be a six digit code, including some letters). For example, the brightest green color (actually Medium Green) in the palette will have the value #62f58e. Back to the bricklink colors, if you view the source of that page (in Safari, this would be View->View Source; I expect its similar in IE/Firefox), you can extract the HTML that was used to construct that page. Now here's the less fun part... do a find on the page for the hex value of the color. It will be embedded in some HTML TD tags. You want to follow two TD tags over to get the name of the color. You should find it to look something like this: <TD BGCOLOR="62F58E"><A HREF="/catalogList.asp?v=2&colorID=37"><IMG SRC="/images/dot.gif" WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"></A></TD> <TD><IMG SRC="/images/dot.gif" WIDTH="3" HEIGHT="1"></TD> <TD><FONT FACE="Tahoma,Arial" SIZE="2">Medium Green </TD> YUCK! I'll need to extract those and add them to the tutorial above when I have some time, so that others won't have to do the same Hopefully that'll be enough to get you going on your mosaic (and share it with us when it's done!!). Sorry for the trouble

The calendar is available at the Lego stores. Usually they have a pile of them at or near the register; sometimes you have to ask. Its just a sheet with the current (or upcoming) month on it, with some news and specials marked on certain days, and usually a coupon on the bottom with offers similar to this one.

I have the July flyer for the Lego stores (US) and this is available (free) if you spend $75 during the month. I don't have a scan of it unfortunately, but it looks like this won't be for sale, just a promo thing for coming in and buying some stuff.

Totally awesome!! (Saw it on BB too, grats on that!)

Thanks a lot everyone for the feedback Perhaps there will be future adventures of the Office Troll...

I recently bought a large collection and went through and sorted out all of the TYCO. I agree it can be hard to spot them as they are so very similar (although after going through this really large collection I've become pretty good at it). I stuck all of them aside and when I was finished sorting I donated them to the local Salvation Army.

Hi everyone! I have another MOC to put up: Office Troll! I used a little camera trickery to get a shot of this grumpy co-worker tossing a paper airplane. His desk is disturbingly clean, probably because he spends 95% of his time messing with the rest of the cube farm inhabitants. Here's a shot of his desk up close (monitor, keyboard, mouse, jar of pens). Here's the bulletin board up close (post-it and bus pass). Here's a close up of the trash can (thats a bandana in case you were wondering). And here's a shot of the office chair (which I'm particularly proud of). Also, you can see that the paper airplane is being supported by one of the new skeleton arms. C&C welcome! MOC Pages: Office Troll

Hi fellow Baltimore resident! Crazy coincidence, I've been looking for some time to check out your museum
