Well, feel free to call customer service, wait 25 minutes to get a real person on the phone, and beg them to tell you when Indy is ending, all to find that "I'm sorry sir/ ma'am, but I'm just an employee. May I suggest speaking to an official ambassador?". And as far as ambassadors go, they only convey what they know about Lego to the fans and vice-versa. They could ask, and I have no doubt that CopMike has good connections- but nothing has come up yet. Frankly, I'm convinced Indy is over. It's been told to us by numerous trustworthy sources (including legomilk, who was right about Bionicle ending), and there's really not that much left to do. While the theme is rakes in a lot of money for TLG, what else can you do with it besides a tank and maybe a map room? Other options have been discussed before, but I really don't see them happening. Plus, it's practically the only theme we haven't seen pics of for the Jan 2010 wave. As disappointing as it is, I think Indy's done. Besides, there has to be room for all of these new themes like Atlantis and Disney.

I remember in kindergarten, there was a little Lego table with some old Sytem and Duplo pieces in it, and even some Fabuland! I remember building trains with those Duplo blocks. More recently, I'm taking a class dealing with engineering basics, and towards the end of next semester we get to build with some sort of brick system- similar to Lego but more on a professional level. I forgot what they're called, something to do with the word "modular"... believe it or not, they're more expensive then Lego!

Wonderful review, Svelte! A very pleasant surprise to get one of this set so early. The ship is fantastic! I love the color scheme- all of that medium blue and dark brown is worth the mediocre interior. The minifigs aren't that exciting, although it's great to get two captains in one set, and the new dress is nice. My main problem with this one though, is that it feels to me like the designers took too long to finalize the design- some parts (interior, deck) look like they were really skipped over, and other parts look fantastic (hull, sails). I would've gladly paid a full 200 USD for a decent interior. One last thing- does anyone else think that the cabin's rear windows look like owls? The plumes look like eyebrows on the gold sud eyes, and the windows themselves look like the semi-oval body.

In the post I replied to, there were words added to the first line of the post. I don't know as much as you do, but I was aware that when your double posts merge, they get added to the bottom of the post, not change anything else. Sorry if I offended you, but I don't see how it's fair if you get to edit your posts while everyone else gets yelled at for doing so. If I am wrong, and you did merge them, but changed the first line without editing somehow, then I apologize.

Here's my entry: It's winter on Mygeeto, and you know what that means! The Clone army has taken a break from fighting to enjoy the weather and KimT's presents. Too bad the clone troopers took KimT's most prized possession and used it as the star on the snow tree. General Mundi sighs and watches KimT hop up and down, trying to get his potty chair as a clone makes a snow angel... "C'mon guys, I really have to go! You're gonna be eating yellow snow for a week if I don't have my koala training chair!".

That did it! Thanks very much! Pretty sure. I was getting worried I'd need new prescriptions. No, I don't think it affected other pages. I use Firefox. EDIT: Now I see what you mean about the banners (in topics about banners). when I zoom out, more of the banner gets added in, and vice versa.

As the title says, I've been having problems with EB pages shrinking. This just happened to me yesterday, and isn't the first time. While posting, I accidentally hit a key (or combination of keys), and the page suddenly shifted and shrunk. I noticed that the top line in my text box was cut in half horizontally (the top part of the letters were missing), and now I can't get any pages to return to normal size. The text is smaller, and the emoticons are small and blurry (and some partially cut off). I can't tell if any pictures are smaller than usual, but the banner seems larger. The whole layout seems like it change to a format for larger monitors. I tried refreshing the page, closing the browser, restarting the computer, switching to liner, standard, and outline modes, but nothing has worked. And yes, I'm sure it's not my eyes. If someone could help explain or change the pages back, I would be really thankful.

You see, this is just the kind of behavior I would expect from someone who is infected. You're not thinking straight. Obviously, the investigator relayed their findings to someone they trusted, which is apparently not you. Michael has shared this information with everyone very willingly, and now you're saying that the investigator is lying? What if they were simply wrong- they might be insane or paranoid. Michael is the one that gave away information- so shouldn't it be his fault if Sarah is clean? His choice to point the finger, his choice to take the blame. However, I do believe something unique is happening here. I've discussed this matter with another passenger, and I've come to the conclusion that our investigator is sane, for now. I believe Sarah to be uninfected, but there might be another variable that could be as dangerous as an infected person. We'll see in the morning. So for now, I will cautiously vote. Vote: Sarah Ohce/ Sir Dillon This is tentative, so I may take this back, but in the meantime...

Oh, I know, but it was eager of you to do that. And just because you're high in rank doesn't mean you can change what you say. If I were to edit my thoughts, I would come out as suspicious. Well, I have an idea of what this situation is, but I'd like to wait a bit... I don't trust her, but she was the first to vote for one of her own.

I have considered this possibility, but I find offensive that you would consider me that stupid- to vote for a fellow infected just like that, early in the game. Then again, that shady character did it once, so I won't eliminate that possibility. Alright. I'll take your word for it and see what happens. Woah there. A bit eager to vote, aren't you? Especially considering the computer lady said we can't vote for the first few hours. I see where you're going with this, but I don't think Barney is a wise choice. Hm...

Answer me this- would I have voted for him in the first place if he was on my side? No one was blaming me before I voted (except for Michael... but even that wouldn't call for killing a teammate), so I wasn't "saving" myself. As for my vote, I was suspicious of him even before Sarah proposed a vote. His behavior, his words... they sounded off to me. It sounded like he was trying to distract us. Also, I wanted something to arise, and obviously it did. Michael revealed himself. I appreciate you trusting me, but do you care to explain why you're becoming doubtful? Unless you have something better to go on, I think that voting off Michael would be a wise decision. Notice how, at the end of the day yesterday, he said that if I was uninfected, it would be an accident, "oops". Maybe he realized that I might survive. No, I certainly do not think all of you who voted for me are infected. It just seems to me that Michael wanted me out bad, and he had the perfect opportunity to do so.

You were right? You were right?!?! No, my friend, you were terribly wrong. While I had nothing to do with his death, Jad Suur was, in fact, infected, just as I suspected. And then you went after me, and almost succeeded. I'm seeing a pattern here. Did you go after me, trying to help a fellow infected, knowing that you could convince everyone else because of my early voting? Think about this, people. Think, and realize, perhaps I am not infected. Why would I be one of the first to vote for my comrade? And why would pretty boy over here try to vote me off? I think the answer is simple. Poor doctor...

Happy birthday, Cole. Have a great day. And a Happy Birthday to Vader as well, though I wonder if he'll see this. Ah well, get lots of rattling packages anyway.

I really like this. No snow over here yet, but I like how gloomy or lonely the MOC is. Nice effects with the snow, especially with the use of a white flipper here and there on the black flipper roof. I also like the pine trees. What really amazes me about your work is that you don't actually have that many pieces compared to other MOCers- you make the best of what you have. For example, what you said about running out of bricks, so you had to stack plates... yet you still manage it to look good, no, great. I wish I could do that.

Thanks for the review! A nice set, I really like the new silver figs. There were actually yellow crystals in one PM set (with the large yellow rock monster), so it's weird that they didn't put one in this set. Nice photography, by the way. May I suggest joining the Reviewer's Academy?

Thanks again, everyone. No need to say belated just yet, it's my birthday in my timezone today. Thanks, yes, I got them on Wednesday. I couldn't resist, so I built one on Wednesday night and the other on Thursday. I might be getting another set today. Thanks, it sure has! Maybe I should change my username. And a happy birthday to Milan and jonfett. May you two have great birthdays as well.

I used to listen CDs on a CD player, but now I use my Ipod (so I didn't check CDs). I like Ipods much better since you can change between artists, albums and songs so easily, and I never have to switch disks. I also listen to music on the computer a lot, often when I'm posting on EB. Music that I enjoy helps me think. And of course, radio. I listen to this more than any other method, usually when I just want to relax and have a change from the music on my Ipod. Naturally, radio never fails when your doing a chore or work around the house.

Congrats, Siegfried and Mrs. Walrus. Have a great day together. Nice vig, by the way. Is that Batbrick behind Hicnkley, or just a randomly placed Batman fig? Congratulations to you two as well!

Thanks, everyone! My birthday's not until tomorrow (my timezone), but this made my day. I got the IJ Temple of Doom set, and SPIII Hyperspeed pursuit (both already built)! And going to see 2012 tomorrow. Never thrust the reviews.

Hey, Kim, could you please index this when you get a minute? Republic Fighter Tank review. You did say that after two weeks, if the review hasn't been indexed yet, then ask, right? EDIT: Just realized I posted in the wrong topic. Sorry about that.

Thanks, likewise. So you're officially coming this year? That's great!

There have been many color issues with brown in the past. There was also a change in browns, I think. The new shade is referred to as "frown" (fake brown). It's easier to tell for pearl gold and metallic gold. I'd say that for both silver and gold elements, the pearl has a soft, bright shine to it, while metallic is darker, heavier, and reflects light better. What do you mean? Dark blue and blue are two completely different Lego colors. I don't understand what you mean by meatllic gold and light gold. Could you explain that a little please?

Meh, I don't really like the look of these that much. The new lava monsters (and lava queen) are cool, but that's about it, besides the silver miner figs. I wonder why they added medium blue to the color scheme, it just messes it up, IMO. Lime green and orange were great, especially for getting rare colors, but medium blue isn't worth making the sets look like a rainbow of colors.

Yup. I'm really excited for these, and I'm glad TLG decided to make them after. Much better than the pilot helmets.

Exactly, I couldn't have said it better. I like the old kind a bit better, but I don't mind the new. Then again, I haven't built anything with the two of them together. TLG never said what the replacement color was going to be- it doesn't have to be black, If you read the first post, it says that trans-black is being replaced, but exactly which color has not yet been decided. True, thanks for pointing that out. I'd better stock up on trans-black before then.
