  1. I've been out of the game for some time and missed out on the entire CMF line- there are a ton of cool ones I'm interested in! I've found a store on Bricklink that has a large number of figs I want at some of the lowest prices on the market, unfortunately they do not ship to the US. I've contacted the seller but unfortunately they're quite firm on only shipping within the UK. I've checked multiple other stores but getting the figs I want from more than several dozen stores is more than triple the price. Basically what I need is someone in the UK to place the order for me and then ship the package to me once they receive it. I'd pay the order amount up front with enough to cover shipping and some extra for the trouble. Please send me a PM if you're able and willing to do so, it would be greatly appreciated!
  2. Very cool, I've been wanting to build some siege equipment to take on my new lion knights' castle. This and your catapult are really great compact builds!
  3. Been out of Lego for over ten years until a gift of the Lego flower bouquet to my girlfriend prompted her to gift me the medieval blacksmith in return. It was like a childhood dream come true that was the biggest and most detailed set I'd ever had. We had a very fun time building it together but I figured it would be a one off special thing Lego could never top again so I put it on display and didn't think about Lego for quite some time. A few weeks ago I happened upon a picture of 10305 and couldn't believe it was a real set! The scale, details, and classic factions returning were too good to be true. Naturally, I bought it as soon as I confirmed it was, in fact, real and was so impressed by it that I had to check out all the other great sets Lego has put out in the last several years. I spent many hours looking through the bricklink catalog and just had to grab a falconer minifig and a copy of the forest hideout to complement the castle. Only thing stopping me from getting a few 3 in 1s and the parts for the castle in the forest is a move in the somewhat near future! I also revisited this lovely website to see other castle fans' reactions, it was very fun to read through 50+ pages of many other people sharing my excitement while waiting for it to arrive. Now that I have it in hand it absolutely lives up to expectations. I love all the details packed into it and the minifig selection is fantastic. The building techniques are revelatory with the use of hinge pieces and perfectly fitting angles, still shocked it's a real set! I've never built anything this large in my life, I can see how it wouldn't be too impressive to some AFOLs with large collections but this level of scale and cohesion is way beyond anything I could do with my modest collection growing up. I really appreciate how chunky and defensible it is when closed up, all the official Lego castles I grew up with were a few big wall pieces slapped onto a raised baseplate. These walls actually look like they could withstand more than a light breeze and have plenty of room for minifigs on the battlements. It looks fantastic from the front when opened up, the varied depth and angles keep it visually interesting. From the back it's basically a dollhouse which my girlfriend absolutely loves, you can really appreciate the detailed interiors and have fun posing figures around the castle. My only minor gripe is that it doesn't open up vertically very easily compared to the blacksmith so some areas can still be a bit hard to access. Overall a truly fantastic set that has gotten me back into Lego in a major way, excited to see any future castle sets and build more of my own!
  4. Sadly it does not. The page works but the game doesn't load.
  5. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a cached copy of the old Adventurers flash game "The Lost Treasure of Ancient Greece". Here's the link on Lego's website so you know what I'm talking about, but it sadly no longer works. I tried pretty hard to find it with google, but I only got cheap flash sights with fake names. If anyone can find this game it would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  6. I have a gunmetal AC8 from brick fair 2009 if you're interested.
  7. I'm not sure what to make, but I have bobcad and autocad along with an industrial CNC machine, so I could do whatever I wanted to. If anyone is good with CAD software I could machine things out pretty easily...
  8. Needs moar hippies. But seriously, this is an amazing model with lots of detail, and it is VERY high on my wanted list.
  9. These look amazing, if I had more cash I would buy one in a heartbeat.
  10. has just set their status

  11. She promised me cake... Very nice MOC though, the curves are well done.
  12. Wow, it looks like Lego finally made a half-decent carriage. I don't see myself buying this set, but thanks for the awesome review.
  13. It looks like a train. I know how hard it is to capture detail in micro scale, but it still looks like a train.
  14. That's a big decision, but I did the same thing less than a week ago. I still have plenty of stuff that I haven't given away, link is here.
  15. That looks really nice! I know how hard it is to make debris look natural, and the intact part of the ship looks great too.
  16. Nice! It's a bit big seeing as the figs don't even reach the top of he hood, but it's next to impossible to get good proportions in Lego.
  17. Wow! It took me a while to realise that it was even lego!
  18. The Mothership looks like a UFO landing pad instead of, well, a mothership. But otherwise the theme looks awesome! I'm probably going to get the two smallest sets and possibly the Alien Abduction set.
  19. Boss as in awesome or boss as in an actual boss?
  20. Classy. My favorite part is definitely the second floor windows, the really bring everything together.
  21. That sucks. My computer is also too old/slow/shitty to run LDD.
  22. Congratulations Zorbas!
  23. Wow... Sorry about that, I had no idea series 5 pics were already out
  24. Uh... What? They're in the the same line and have absolutely no similarity. But OT, the only figure I would want is the Hazmat guy. And the crooked cover on the sailor annoys me to no end!
  25. So... You're not going to give Saber Scorpion credit for the face decal?
