Tks Ickelpete for this cool review !! (and for using my term of DSS aka dreaded sticker sheet ;-) ) This car is HUGE !! Tks for the size comparison of the wheels with the MF and ambulance !! Its GIGANTIC 8-

Many tks Dr Lucky for these cool pics ;-) I really love the catapult actually (yeay how weird of me to say that actually :-D ) 8-

He he, Apo is finally showing some patriotism ;-) I really hope Klinsi stays !! He did such a tremendous job changing the whole team's system of play and what have you !! I salute him for his fantastic coaching and hope that he will be here in '08 trying to beat a fresh new French Team ready to win the Euro again :-P *yoda*

Guys, usually I'm fed up of posting some MOCs found on BS, but I wanted to share this thing of beauty with you 8-

I think that fantasy & fictional liberty are two different things ;-) On the first hand, fantasy represents all mythical aspects of stories with creatures, monsters, fairytales... IU am totally for that. Like Phes wrote, it "keeps things interesting". However, on the other hand, there is fictional liberty which is adding details to history likr viking catapults and what have you for the sake of pure playability (or

3-1 Germany *sweet* I really want to Congratulate GERMANY for a couple of things: * a great organization of the competition *y* *y* * great supporters * a great great offensive team 8-

Hehe BM, you have the art of starting an AFOL rant :-D :-P Okie I will just put it this way (at least for now :-P ): AFOLs prefer historic accuracy whereas kids and TLC prefer fictional liberty !! Off course, fictional liberty = better kids playability (cata-bloody-pults >:-( ) = more sales = more

G you are ambitious and seeing what youy did previously, I'm sure it will be fantastic 8-

I'm glad to hear your cousin is cured Kiku and I thank you for the moral support :'-) And I wish luck and strenght to all our members who are facing difficult times either for themselves and/or their relatives and friends !! Hang in there guys and gals ;-) *yoda*

Ah yes Phes, oops exceedingly wise Norro i meant :-D :-P Its those kind of sets for me that had great potential but failed to deliver it. Why do you ask ? For all those blue parts !! Whats wrong with TLC and Blue !! Okie Blue is the cheapest colour to produce BUT tan is as well !! So tan would have looked way better than blue IMO !! Sure its easy to switch those 9 blue parts (out of 56 total) but on a small set its aggravating to do that !! Apart from that its great and simple set that can be used in every medieval town or even in rural nowadays societies where horses are still used hehe !! It has a nice accessories (especially that brown fork) and Mfs !! *yoda*

Grand... I was just concerned that that would involve a lot of work for you... God Bless, Nathan Ahh the tough life of an admin these days :-D :-P Seriously I'm happy to do it for you guys ;-) So Post On !! *yoda*

Many Mant Tks for doing this BM 8-

gusmoore17, Your post incited me to create a quick and short tutorial on how to "deeplink" ;-) I hope this will help you in the future hehe I want to congratulate you for a fantastic review 8-

Guys and gals, Here is a really short tutorial on how to deeplink pics directly in the post ;-) Step 1: How to Deeplink First, the link needs to end in .jpg Usually you will deeplink from your Brickshelf gallery: click on the pic you want to deeplink until it ends on .jpg like on the following pic (I circlred it in red ;-) ) Step 2: How to use it in the post Another really easy action ;-) a) press on th icon circled in green b) the box circled in red appears: just copy/paste the deeplink (step1) into that box and press on OK A side note: deeplinks work even if the Brickshelf gallery is not moderated yet ;-) Voil

I think having all that in the index is better because we don't need another pinned topic: there are already 4 of them and adding a fith will just be too heavy IMO I will start editing the EB indexs tomorrow and will do so more on a regular basisd like I did when I created them ;-) How does that sound Norro ? *yoda*

Cauet's Zidane il va marquer :-D :-P *sing* Zidane il va marquer Zidane il va marquer Zidane il va marquer OH Zidane il va marquer *sing* *yoda*

How is he and how old was he ? I know the feeling since my little cousin aged 5 has that shitty desease as well !! He is on wave 2 of chemo !! Keeping my fingers crossed !! *yoda*

GO 6386 !! one vote and there is a Tri Tie :-D *yoda*

Sne, Zizou was born in Marseille, France ;-) French Empire you say ? I didn't know it expended to Argentina :-D :-P (Trezeguet) Kiku, I was not for France the way it played during the qualificatio games & the first phase: bad play and the "oldies" were only the shadow of their former self ;-) However, since I'm a bit patriotic hehe, when we succeded and reached the 1/8 I had to root for France without great conviction though. The game against Spain served as a real "declic" to the team, the whole country and myself !! From that point, France was SO IMPRESSIVE !! Seriously it played in such a way their adversaries (Spain, Brazil and Portugal) could not play their regular game 8-

Excuse me ?? Let me just tell you that from all the Group France, ONLY 3 were born in AFRICA, thats all !! * Boumsong was born in Cameroun * Makelele was born in RD Congo (ex Zaire) * Vierra was born in Senegal Its NOT because they are black that they are from Africa you know ;-) Islands like Guyanne... are French Territory ;-) Also all those players chose to play for France, end of story ;-) *yoda*

Oh, and what about Henry's diving? France deserve to loose, IMHO. Their fans have been b***ards towards other teams, and they've only been able to cheat to win. Plus, most players aren't even French. That I cannot let it pass !! True Henry did dive when "pushed" bu Puyol but BEFORE calling us b***ards let me just remind you 2 things on Spain: * the Spanish were the first to boooo and whistle during a national anthem * a certain Spanish guy on the field did yell "niga" and that is just unbearable and unfogivable !! Also the 2 "worst" teams on fouls and crap were NOT France and far from it !! They were: * Portugal with that SOB Ronaldo (safe trip home jackass !!) GO GERMANY !!! * Netherlands And JUST to please you, we will win :-P *yoda*

Here is a pissed off Hobbes :-P I think your analysis just omits (or intentionally forgets) all the games in the national championships + all the games in the European championships !! and that makes quite a few ;-) Also, don't forget that they are not that well payed compared to their championships ;-) I used to play in the US during Summer camps in the Football & Softball (okie its not baseball but pretty close :-P ) teams and I always thought that football was way more tireing (and I was only playing right defense !) And the rant continues :-P *yoda*

I wouldn't be as dark as you are my Lord but this WC did show us lots of stuff that needs to be banned or changed IMO. Here is a little list: * NO MORE RACISM EVER * Videos (to prevent stupid ref decisions & stupid a fortiori actions on players like Figo, Ronaldo, Vannistelroii (or however his name is spelled)...) * Do get rid of passive off-play * change the suspension procedure (like if a player with a yellow card does nothing illegal on the next game, the FIFA gets rid of that card) Also, in order to have an exciting football here are two rules that would help: * change the offside rule to have a lot more offensive football * get rid of the extra time !! Players are really tired !! *yoda*

Guys, I merged both topics to keep discussion in 1 thread ;-) Enjoy the Dragon :-D Its fun, after System (CC, Vikings) and Designer (Mythical creatures), its Bionicle's turn to have a dragon :-P Flame On !! *yoda*

Just to add my 2 Euro cents here about the topic at hand: Tks God Lego is not following Hollywood trend that much in general themes !! Seriously, who wants to have rappers and ghetto gangstars MFs :-| Since hip hop and all that "sub culture" is really important if not predominent in Hollywood, TLC didn't use that momentom. I want that crap OUT of Lego ;-) Seriously (again :-P ) look at what my generation (I'm 31) had as a kid, westerns, war movies... Great stuff I wanted in Lego and that only came in my dark ages (Wild West) !! If we follow that TV/Movie trend, no wonder Vikings and Wild West did not last that long !! And I guess any "historical" theme will suffer the same fate *sad* Hollywood did not produce peplums for soooooo long its sad !! The only movie that could have worked at the time was Gladiator ;-) Producing a Roman Theme at that time would have been ingenious !! And I've said that so many times in the Pirate Forum: TLC would benefit from big Hollywood publicity and momentum WITHOUT paying any licence !! Oh well... Its a shame that kids nowadays only care for license products :-( The only theme that could actually work is guess what ? Pirates (look at all the toy brands that have pirates in their current line up: Playmo, Megablocks...) Rant On !! *yoda*
