  1. You're right, the back picture of the set makes me want one ;) Belgian airforce you say, interesting. What the hell those are doing on a Dutch airline ;)
  2. Really thats too bad :'( Its not great for a kid to order stuff online, how impersonal!!!!!! I rarelly order stuff on S@H because I really like toy stores, it reminds me of my childhood :-D
  3. Lucky you my friend ;)
  4. Or you can keep it a couple of years and sell it on e-bay for more than that ;)
  5. They actually misplaced the genre in that movie: ID should be a comedy ;) Why? here are some ex (if my recollection of the movie is OK): * You can kill 100 people BUT you cannot kill a bloody DOG (tyhe whole scene where the dog runs for his life in the tunnel is just hilarious :-D ) * The scene where the president explained to his daughter the death of her mom :-D * The sacrifice of the old crazy drunk guy who only flew old (as old as him ;) ) planes. No prblem, lets fly a fighter jet, its so similar (dhuu *wacko* ). Also when he died I had tears in my eyes- of laughter that is to say. * Aliens are as dumb as Will Smith :-D OK, I cant remember other scenes of this fantastic movie :-D
  6. Amen to that ;) I'm going on 30 and I'm proud to do some creative Lego building ;) Its also great when a hobby like ours put people together ;)
  7. Happy Birthday Pal ;) Its good not to be the only one going on 30 :-D
  8. Hey, I'm nearly 30 and far from being ashamed ;) Also those darn kids nowadays only want technology crap like cell phones, MP3 players.... And I'm not talking about teens but kids. Thats ridiculous. Hey I'm 8 I want a Blackberry :-D
  9. I know, this is true but face the harsh reality of the toy industry in Paris nowadays. All the toy stores I went to as a kid all disappeared. Furhermore the ones that still exist are real crap: one ex is La Grande R
  10. I didn't look the boxes carefully at all, my bad..........so yeap this guy is fricking lucky
  11. It depends on what shop and where it is. I know that the "Lego shop" I always refer to has great relations with Lego France and have the sets earlier than every shop in Paris. ROTS will arrive this week :)
  12. IF that dude actually have the sets ;) Who knows, could be pictures taken at the toy fair... Something's fishy there.... Why post boxes and nothing else... Anyway this coming week will be great :) Thanks Lego France :)
  13. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Thanks to that emerged out of nowhere some crappy mutants Dinos!!!! Thats really kid attractive isn't it :-D
  14. Yeah its like Team America ;) What would happen to the world without them :-D In WOTW trailer, we see (like in ID...) a lot of countries ravaged, but guess what guys, who survived? Could it be Uncle Sam :-D
  15. Here guys, here's a new update: Do NOT buy any cars at the beginning, because you gain some passing your licences: National B: VW Lupo 1.4 '02 (100hp) National A: Pontiac Sunfire GXP Concept '02 (183hp) International B: Nike One '22 (259hp) International A: Nismo 270 R '94 (270hp) I'm still on the last licence, hey I don't have that much time. The last is boring because its a whole lap :'( Have fun, especially on that Renault week-end *satis*
  16. Bloody Jay: To increase better communication (and unbreach the gap) between TLC and AFOLs & KFOLs here is a little suggestion: Because, concerning Europe (and maybe elswhere, I dont know), Lego is divided into different geographical zones, TLC should nomminate a communication adviser per zone. That person would be in charge of relaying info, complaints, suggestion (and what have you...) directly to TLC. Also, to continue on Bloody jay's idea, that zone rep should do surveys on what themes / sets us, AFOLs, want. How to do those surveys (or idea submission)? This would be quite easy to implement: If I take the exemple of Paris, where to buy Lego sets? Like I wrote previously in a thread, 3 shops work directly with Lego France. It would be easy to have a survey form (info requests...) in those shops. Those forms would be given to the rep zone (who will sort it out, give %, write comments...) and then relay the info to TLC. And there is still (for the moment) TRU that have some exclusive sets. Do the same procedure here as well. You could make the reproach that there are more shops where to buy Lego sets. Sure, but the AFOL & KFOL community will not go to shops where the sets are X% more expensive, and that do not have the WHOLE line of products. Snefroe1: Sure TLC need o decrease costs. If you take the Legend line (or total lack of it) it will not be interesting for retail sales for all the reasons we already know. BUT, if you make a REAL Legend Line (that use common bricks for the most parts, and not some fancy expensive ones) you save on production costs and retail sales would work.
  17. It looks really awsome :oo *satis* The special effects look really well done, the imagery add to the dark feeling on the movie......Well, what less can we expect from a Master Filmaker like Spielberg ;) I always kind of like those "the end of the world is coming" movies when they are treated right. In some of them, the US stereotype is so strong that you tend to laugh which is not really the right emotional effect (I give my life for the sake of humanity like in Independance Day & Armaggedon...). Hopfully there won't be a cheesy happy ending... I really like the fact that you really don't see anything apart from the havoc created...it really adds to the darkness of the flick ;) BTW, nice Mustang ;)
  18. I called my regular "Lego shop" in Paris saturday to see when our precious sets will hit their shelves and they told me beginning of next week. I will call them and keep you informed. So I have to wait until next saturday for my ROTS madness :-D ...............patience can be a hard process :-D
  19. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh here ships boy ;) Welcome to our distant seas boards :) Have fun here, savy ;)
  20. Welcome in our nice little friendly community Gebmid ;) I'm sure you will love it here, have fun ;)
  21. Thats what the guy told me on the phone. Usually they tend to have sets before, they do get pretty well with Lego France I guess ;) Lucky hopfully... I can't go until next saturday though.
  22. I really don't regret those days either ;) As a kid inspiration always came out in games and movies (duhhhhhhhhhhh its still is :-D )
  23. Spoiled kids :-D When I was young I had a lot of sets for gifts. After it was 50% off sets due to video games (Arghhhh stupid choices *devil* ) At least they will have ALL the crappy DINO line for Christmas :-D
  24. Quid now that TRU has been sold *wacko* Lets hope this still continues *satis*
  25. Monetarily speaking that's for sure :-D
