    Chaos Lord: BRICKS FOR THE BRICK GOD!!! Chaos Lord comes from a dark and grim, brickless dimension, and since he was born, he trained to be the most brutal warrior in his tribe. Now, he and his demonic army of Chaos have invaded the World of CMF. With flails akimbo, and blood-curdling battlecry, he leads his fanatic hordes in the name of the eldritch gods of his ancient religion, to sow seeds of war and destruction and to sieze as much bricks as possible. Why does he want all those bricks? To build a couple of giant thrones for his evil gods, naturally. Luckilly there still are many minifigure heroes like the Barbarian, Rouge or Warrior Woman, who can join powers against this madman. Saloon Worker: Howdy Pardner, what's yer Poison? The Slver City Saloon is always full of visitors, and this honest minifig runs it. Whether you need a drink or a chat, the Saloon Worker is here to provide both. The locals know him well, and trust him with all their worries and secrets, for they know he'll listen, and give them good advice. Little do they know, that Saloon Worker is also an informator to the Sheriff, as many bandits and desperados confess to him when inebriated about their heists.

    Dat Chaos Lord and Space Explorer! Robert you Glorious Bastard you, you never cease to amaze! I'm taking Saloon Worker and Chaos lord for bios, unless NWaP or 8BrickMario want them.

    I am SCREAMING with Joy here, La Katrina looks beautiful!
  4. Eggyslav
    OOOO, Is that a card soldier from "Alice in Wonderland"?
  5. Eggyslav
    I didn't either , But The titular castle really looks similar to your MOC, just an observation from my part.
  6. Eggyslav
    Well done Robert, I am intrigued!
  7. Eggyslav
    *Insert obligatory Howl's Moving Castle Analogy here* Other than that, It looks amazing, I love me some steampunk!
  8. Eggyslav
    Ooooo, I'm dying with anticipation, can't wait to write the Bios!
  9. Eggyslav
    Very nice, It's like Edwardian Era meets Steampunk and High Fantasy, I love it!
  10. Eggyslav
    They would look better printed, or decaled than painted, but still, that's awesome!

    OMG, I just had this thought: What If TLG and Nintendo colaborated and released Nintendo themed CMF (With Mario, Zelda and other games characters?) line, but with Amiibo functionality?

  12. Eggyslav
    Damn, that's creepy, in a good sense of course, it is as if H. R. Giger himself got his hands on some bricks, BRAVO!
  13. Eggyslav
    Guys, I'm in a pickle, I can't place picked bricks, whether from the Toolbox, or the Model it self. I can grab a brick and move it around with mouse, but I can't put it down in it's place, and when I press ESC to cancel, LDD crashes to desktop. Help... EDIT: Nevermind tho, the problem fixed itself... somehow, idk honestly, but hey! That works for me!

    Nice video, but toilet humor here was a little bit too obnoxious...
  15. Eggyslav
    So, in Lego Universe, Friends are aliens, interesting...
  16. Eggyslav
    Adventurers, All the sci-fi, all the historical (and Pirates too), CMF.

    Just as real Voldemort has no nose while everybody have one, The minifig Voldemort has a nose while every minifigure don't have one. Simple.
  18. Eggyslav
    It depends. If you want to stealthily plunder a ship or port town, use Ninja Pirates. If you want to infiltrate a Pirate fortress or ship, then use Pirate Ninjas.
  19. Eggyslav
    Yep, that's the one. The Juniorization here isn't as severe as @pauldaniel claims.
  20. Eggyslav
    First of all dude, It's EggYslav, not Eggslave. Second of all, No-one is saying you're wrong, yes, the Juniorization was a thing, and I explained the fenomen to you. I's just that I think 4561 is not an awful set. It's just the tone of your post seemed a little pretensional to me.
  21. Eggyslav
    Oh, don't be so critical, I looked at the set in question at Brickset, and I have to disagree here. Sure, this came in the era of Juniorization, but come on man, It's really detailed and cool, maybe not as intricate and sophisticated as Emerald express, but still, it looks like a fun set, My family couldn't afford to buy me that set, so I would be thankful If I ever got it, even if it was <insert that tiresome argument>. You see, juniorization, as it's name implies, is a Lego set style, that cathers to younger builders, it's easy to build, often uses BURPs, LURPs, and other big premanufactured pieces and shells (of which there are none in 4561), and is the basic building experience, no fancy SNOT techniques, little next to no technic pieces, the set is more focused on play value. In late 90's, early 2000's, the whole city/town line was flooded with <insert that tiresome argument> sets, which were designed for kids who just grew out of their Duplo, and these sets were PANNED by AFoLs, because there was no "advanced", non-<insert that tiresome argument> alternative city theme at the time. And later came Jack Stone, next to Galidor most reviled theme, of even more juniorisation, and weird, non-minifig figures. This is why this period is the Dark Age of Lego, along with TLG's financial problems. They just tried something else, to keep their company afloat. But with the advent of non-<insert that tiresome argument> World City and then City themes, everything came back to normal. STOP CENSORISING THE WORD J U N I O R I Z ED!!!

    Yo Dawg, So I heard you like ships in a bottle, so we put a ship in a bottle in a ship in a bottle , so you can ship in a bottle while you ship in a bottle. *Insert Inception BWAAAAH sound effect* Yeah, try to wrap your mind around this one... Other than that, that's an awesome MOC you've got here.
  23. Eggyslav
    Wow, just wow, this is breath taking, such an amazing building, with so many awesome details, just brilliant! Yet another proof that digital MOCs can be as awesome and legit as IRL ones.
  24. Eggyslav
    Very good MOC it is, a lot of talent you have.

    Lego should connect it's fans, not divide them, and yet, just like in some Marxist wet dream, there are two struggling classes: IRL Builders in their ignorance shun away those unfortunate ones who have no choice but to use LDD and other programs to build their MOCs. While IRL MOCers bask in the glory of their constructs made with physycal bricks, and praise eachother in a cycle of arrogance, narcissism and self adoration, We are the dirty brickless plebes to them. I tried, many times, to explain, to show how it hurts, when you are alienated from a community you try to be a member of. LDD users are ignored and unappreciated, and when they try to make their voice heard, they meet with patronizing, ridicule, sometimes disgust and hatred, and ultimately they are pacified by the moderators, like in some sort of police state. My tone may be harsh, my words crude and unpleasant but they are true, and the truth bites. All that I, and other digital builders want, is some understanding and just a little bit of recognition. We want to be able to participate in contests, we want to be treated with equal rights, we don't want to be ignored, shunned and pushed over by anyone. DIGITAL BUILDERS UNITE! The time of our Emancipation is nigh! This is our Manifesto, sign in if you're a LDD, MCLad, Stud.io, and other digital Lego builder, and you agree with me! Eurobricks need to change, and we need to fight for our rights!

      So, what you say is basically: I should be content, that me and other Digital builders are TOLERATED by others? Imagine how the world would look if minorities were fine with them being just tolerated. What if Women in 19th century were fine about being just housewives with no voting rights? What if Ghandi was OK with Brittish oppression in India? What if Martin Luther King jr. was cool with racial segregation? What if George Washington and other Founding Fathers settled on United States being just King George's colony? We don't want just TOLERANCE. We want EQUALITY and RECOGNITION. You can't tell me to know my place, I am as passionate with Lego as you, or other AFOL, and I want you to respect me as one.

      I don't know how many people bear a personal grudge against digital builders and are disrespectful to you as a result of your way of MOCing. I have a feeling it's almost negligible, but if you have evidence that suggests otherwise I'd be interested to know. Many people may not like digital MOCing itself, and that's a completely different thing. Anyone is free to (dis)like what he/she (dis)likes, that cannot be changed. In short: being discriminated is unacceptable, being disliked and tolerated is fine (yet slightly unpleasant).

      You have some good historic examples where people stood up for their rights and the situation changed for the better. In this case I think the most important goal (or 'right', if you will) is to have contests where digital builders can participate and actually win physical prizes. I would suggest talking to the LDD forum moderator and otherwise try to source prizes from bottom-up within the digital builder community.

      Well, It all started when I posted a digital MOC, and no one even looked at it, I felt ignored, and betrayed, I thought about it and other such cases, and my conclusion was, that the digital builders are victims of marginalization and disdain because of their medium and methods. My theory was proven right, when I tried to disscuss the issue by opening a certain thread, I was treated with contempt, and the IRL builders didn't even try to understand my point of view. Their remarks were arrogant and hostile, they treated me as if I was stupid, which angered me, and when I retaliated with my contrarguments, the Mods closed the thread, saying that the discusson is pointless, and I won't convince anyone to my standpoint. Then there was Peppermint_M's contest, and since some time ago I made a MOC in LDD, which after some alterations could be a good entry there, but I then I saw that digital entries were not allowed, I was dissapointed and really annoyed: Yet another instance of Digital Builders being discriminated. So I allowed myself to express my objections, and yet again I was scorned, ridiculed, and pacified by Eurobricks staff. I'm afraid that if I start another disscussion I'll get banned. I want to fight for my rights, but I don't want to become a martyr for a lost cause. I really try to be polite, I try to be patient, but I only meet with ignorance and loathing.
