Any updates on the semi-finals?

Till this update, we now have 99 Eurobricks Members' profiles recorded together with their past titles.

Yesterday was a terrible night for everyone. I am glad our student, Angela had made a speedy recovery as we are able to identify the cause which, ultimately lies on the "Petrificus Totalus" spell. Perhaps, Angela could shed some light on the happenings in the Gryffindor Tower. I didn't expect such binding spell to be used against our students, but the spell of the "Avada Kedavra" is also one of our major concerns. I went to the library in the morning after Headmistress Minerva announced the happenings last night, and realised that the spell was indeed of an evil nature... I believed this person is highly and could be a Death's Hallowed and helps us to eliminate Brandon by chance. At least, we shouldn't be too worried about Cuddles roaming around at night. Recalling the events at night, I strongly believed with the death of Brandon doesn't means the last of Cuddles, especially after this note, "Next night, it would feed again.", which is interpreted that Cuddles could have a probable chance to be set loose once more tonight. I can't help but to feel worried on this aspect. Lastly, I applaud for the brave heroic efforts of our dear caretaker, Oraman. He fought well against the Dementor, but fallen to the hands of Cuddles. Orman has been a loyal friend to us, Hogwarts. It was a terrible loss. Right now, I hope we could piece the different clues and suspicions together.

You have thought of endless possibilities for the wooden ravine/bridge which you have included in your Amazon settings and now, you have integrated it for the Canyon Race which is very fitting. Love the baseplate down there. Great job.

I just want to let you guys know that I am very impressed, excited and happy about the new Kingdoms sets. I had opened a few boxes and these sets are superb amazing, especially the new weapons and accessories. :wub:

Seeing this MOC of yours had indeed gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Thanks. This is a very nice remake classic for the legendary Forestmen.

Happy Birthday Draggy and Alice! A year older and wiser. Have an enjoyable weekend.

Seeing this, reminds me of a blog project which I have attempted to start early last year, but it did not really take off due to committing additional time in it. I will strongly advice you to think it through carefully before doing something like this as it will definitely involve lots of time and planning to pull it right.

I really don't know what to make of this. This has been a total surprise nasty assault so far. I really don't know whom to suspect either, and I don't want to make a hasty recommendation at this stage just to convict someone. I will rather stage out and wait for more evidence in terms of confirming each other suspicions on the latter days. Most of the time, the first day of life is normally convicted with someone being innocent, so we can't let those Death’s Hallows to get ahead of us. At the very least, we are now acquainted with each other better after a day of shocking experience and now let's work together to rid of those evil beings out of Hogwarts.

Nothing to sorry about, but I find it amazing for you to actually "dreamt" of me in that situations. Most of the times, I can't even remember what my dreams are.

Boys and girls, let's not panic. Think back, we had enjoyed 20 years of peace in Hogwarts and now all of the sudden without warning, such horrifying attacks on the students and a missing professor. We have a lot of mess on our hands. I am wondering what are those cryptic messages meant and what is that symbol. Looks like some hideous cult is out to ruin our peaceful living. We can't let this affect us all.

Thanks whung for the instructions.

Since the topic creator has found the meaning of "AFOL", I shall lock this topic. Thanks. WhiteFang

Phes, what about the rest of your recent titles?

I have just done a review on the 852769 Vintage Minifigures Volume 5. 852769 Vintage Minifigures Volume 5 [Review 3]

Hello everyone, When I first heard about this spectacular volume in February 2010, I knew this Vintage Minifigures volume will be all about "Girl Power". It's probably the first time in LEGO history where you could get so many female minifigures at one go. More importantly, these female minifigures are not the usual ladies and instead, some of these ladies are probably very hard to get since they were discontinued more than a decade ago. Name: Vintage Minifigures Volume 5 Theme: Product Collections / Minifigures Year: 2010 Pieces: 20 Minifigs: 5 Price: USD$17.99, GBP 11.99, SGD$29.90 Resources: Brickset, Peeron, BrickLink An image of a 852769 Vintage Minifigures Volume 5 Why this set is so appealing to us? Just sit still and view this image for a solid ten seconds and ask yourself this question, "Is this volume appealing enough for you?" For myself, it's an immediate "YES" and for any FOL collectors, I am certain this will be a 100% solid hit and will claim the title of most popular volume among the five current volumes. Through this volume, you are able to obtain female minifigures starting right from 1980 till 2002 which comprise of many wonderful themes such as Classic Town, Forestmen, Ninja and Studios. This is also a chance for us to get these re-released minifigures without the hassle of spending a hefty amount of money on these original minifigures. However, if you have been following closely on the quality progress on these "lifestyle products", you will know what I am going to address next. The Vintage Minifigures volumes are outsourced to external channels such as secondary manufacturers to produce these. Thus, you could notice that the quality of these minifigures is not really up to TLG standard if you are a collector whom condemn such poor quality. Compare these minifigures with the original ones, you will notice the colours and prints of the torsos are less shiner and the ink is much deeper. Although there is a slight improvement from the earlier volumes, but you could still find some slight printing defects in there. Prices for these volumes are not cheap either, so these are probably the main disheartening factors. However, the concept is a great idea and let's hopes TLG will be able to sort out the quality issues in future volumes, provided if they are continuing this concept. Classic Town - Female Doctor This beautiful lovely female doctor is one of the iconic medical staff back in 1980. She even owns a 6364 Paramedic Unit and is exclusive to this very special set. I believed all Classic Town lovers will like to have this, especially having a chance to own this hard to find black ponytail hairpiece. Classic Castle - Forestwoman The legendary Forestwoman is one of the first few female minifigures ever created in the male dominating castle series. She only appears once in this very hard to find, 6071 Forestmen's Crossing in 1990. This brave maiden is a "must to have" for those Forestmen collectors. Please note that if you are intending to buy this minifigure in BrickLink. There is a difference between the original and re-released, so if you are getting one from there, be sure to confirm with the seller on the type of minifigure that you are getting before ordering. Classic Town - Air Stewardess The Classic Town, Air Stewardess is preparing herself for upcoming flights in the 6597 Century Skyway and the 10159 Legend City Airport. If you are intending to build your own flight crew, this could be the right volume to gather more of these 1994 crew members. Ninja - White Ninja Princess This is one of the most exciting minifigure which I anticipates the most. As a Ninja lover, this 1999 White Ninja Princess is a must to have inside your Ninja collection. But in the case of mine, I did not have a chance to own this. Previously, this minifigure was released in these Ninja sets. I hope I will be able to own the 3053 Emperor Stronghold one day and it will also comes with the original White Ninja Princess. When you removed the head wrap, you are able to view her true appearance. Studio - Leading Actress The Leading Actress was released under the Licensed theme, known as "Studios" in 2002. This sexy looking minifigure in her tank top is one of the hard to find minifigure. It is only found in the 1349 Steven Spielberg Moviemaker Set but in this set, the minifigure does not have a back printing unlike the one released in this volume which is printed with the LEGO Corporate Logo. A special treat for Eurobricks Prince of Persia Theme Month I know I am late for the Prince of Persia Theme Month and this review was supposed to be released during this period. Can Dastan resist the temptations of these beautiful charming ladies? So, what do you think of this volume? I am sure there are many readers out there with mixed feelings. I shared those feelings too. I measured both pros and cons in this volume and made a conclusion. To share my buying experience, I have bought three identical volumes, mainly because these set offers me all my favourite female minifigures, especially the White Ninja Princess. To top it up, I need to emphasis the point that this is the only set to collect so many female minifigures at one go. I only bought one Volume 2 from previous Volumes and I didn't want to get into these due to the quality issues. Although in Volume 5, there are slight quality issues too, but I felt the minifigures itselves are too special to give it a miss. I can't make the decision for you. I will let you decide on this. Between quality print and amazing concept, you decide the final outcome. Summary review Playability: 8/10 (Great chance to own these vintage minifigures once more.) Design: 5/10 (Re-released minifigures have some quality issues in terms of its prints.) Price: 5/10 (Price is quite steep for only buying the minifigures.) Overall: 6/10 (Lots of mixed feelings in this purchase, but I still bought it.) I gave it a "3" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? Hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Critics are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Brickshelf (When moderated)

Back in my earlier 8683 Review, I mentioned this. Till now, I still stand by my statement. In fact, I will rather see this minifigs series than not seeing it released in the market. Although the quality is "matt" finishing, but it's definitely a much better improvement from the previous encounters and leaving some room for improvement to make it even better in the next round.

My very very first female character in a mafia game! I am Nurse Brigelda Hearth, reporting in. Right now, there are no students reporting sick during classes.

He will update it when he is around. Furthermore, the new Mafia game series has not officially started and it's not that hard to locate those key topics.

It's my honour to be part of this exciting magical mafia game experience. Thanks Sandy.

I never really liked the latest Civilisation instalments such as III. I only played with Civilisation II and it practically took most of my gaming time away by exploring one could possibly attain and explored all kinds of mechanisms to reach the peak. I can just keep on playing the earlier version and I still have them on my PC. Although the graphics is not impressive but for a game back in the 1996, this is one of the all time favourite games ever. And, to bring myself back on topic, I will check out what is Civilisation V is all about.

Thanks grogall. After seeing the hi-res images of the public transport system, I will be getting a few of these to integrate the town into a transportation hub for the citizens. Lots of nice details in there and I noticed Prince Dastan hairpiece made it over to City too, plus the new "go green" bicycle.

Welcome back ExoBuilder. It's have been more than a year or so since I last saw you posting around. Hopefully, you will be able to stick around and catch up with the discussion in this newly recent upgraded boards. Oh, there is actually a topic for such stuff, but I will merge this topic later, to let others to know that you are back.

Thanks for resizing them.

Toth, This is very nicely presented on your take on the Collectible Minifigs Series. Like the number 2 and 3 minifigs very much. Thanks for sharing. The images are quite large, and if its possible, could you resize them to 800x600 and below and create an individual links for the hi-res images.
