Whadya mean that's better than VBBN? He got higher than you on the test. Truthfully, we both failed.

Wow. Just wow. These are amazing, Hound knight! This might give me reason to post my SigFig .

Just to clarify, the first one is the only one that you don't need to own a Mindstorms kit, correct?

Oh...I'll miss it. I've loved it from the very beginning, it's hard to believe that there's been 9 chapters! Eurobricks has changed a lot since then.... Great job though, I hope ISV will be just as fun

. I do have a step-ladder in my room for them......

I know you posted this a while ago, but it's actually Avhokahs' Spark . Maikiri is member #5631.

Any tips? It won't do anything at all for me.

Oh, Hinckley. Must you always be so exact?

I'm 50% . I find it ironic that they had an ad for Law Enforcement jobs at the bottom of the page......

Try calling ahead (If a phone number is listed) in the future. It can save a lot of time.

I added your name to the list on the first page .

That's an understatement.

That's only half of what I said; you're mis-quoting me. It all depends on the set(s) in question. I even gave an example where I like the "newer" version better than it's classic counterpart.

If you fully read what you quote, I did not actually say that I prefer the old sets. Rather, I said that it varies depending on the set. I'm impartial.

Better be for Brickworld.

For me, it depends on the set. Two years ago, I purchased a used 6394 Metro Park & Service Tower or of Ebay for about $90 CAD. I still have that set built, and I've loved it since the day I saw it. As the current City line is rapidly increasing in quality, I think the line between which of the two I favour is starting to blur. An example I'd like to use is this: I would still rather get a 6482 Rescue Helicopter over a 7738 Coast Guard Helicopter and Life Raft any day, even though I forsee my 7738 being built for quite a while, and I think I'd rather the camper coming out later this year over a 6694 Car with Camper. For me, it all has to do on the individual cases. I think the way that I've come to think of it is because I grew up in the 'Dark Age' of Lego (Childhood-Eurobricks was '95-'06), Classic Town is what I yearned city to become; to follow it's roots. I guess I happened to use it as a reference of what City had the potential of being, yet wasn't. I hope you understand what I'm getting at, as it's kind of hard for me to explain.

PM'd!

I definitely agree with this, but am also going to add some of my own thoughts. I feel that the real great thing about classic town to me is the simplicity, opportunity for creativity and that warm fuzzy feeling that you have inside whenever you see a classic town set. I'm going to analyse each of these factors. 1. Simplicity The simplicity of classic town is clear. Open back sets, mainly basic bricks, minimalist design, etc. I think that our roots as builders-no matter the theme-start with these 3 ideas. As we grow as builders, we remember our pasts, and realize mistakes we've made, and sometimes laugh over them. This feeling of pride, self-achievement, and happiness then overpower us, causing us to love the foundations of these feelings; Classic Town. 2. Opportunity for Creativity The opportunity for creativity, as CP pointed out, is greatly opened up by the lack of bounds we see in specific, single use elements, which are not used to a great extent in Classic Town sets. Set free by the chains of these pieces, we are free to imagine whatever the pieces we hold will perform as, in our own theatre of our minds. I think two of the keys to happiness are imagination and creativity, which are running amuck in these wonderful sets of ours. 3. Warm Funny Feeling While this may very well be a nostalgia felt by some, I can't comment on that, as I was not alive during the 'Golden Age' of Classic Town. On that note, I get a warm feeling inside every single time I look at a Classic Town set, and I just can't explain why. I think this is the true factor that puts the class back in Classic Town, at least for me. While these sentiments may not be felt by all, I can honestly say that these three things are what put the Class back in Classic Town. Simplicity, Opportunity for Creativity, and That Warm Fuzzy Feeling inside.

That's no problem, I understand. Thanks for keeping us informed . I await further information.

Yes

There's also Monkeys, Teddy Bears and Bears (which in my opinion are very cool).

Damn, I don't like this guy. It seems like he knows more than he's letting on.....

I'd like to examine the wound for any trace, and check to see if it's possible that it wasn't a bullet at all, but something else, as there was no bullet.

I agree. The woman (Family friend, organizing this garage sale for charity), said that there's more on the way .
