I saw a Queen Annes Revenge at TRU for 170 yesterday

aha! you found a person of the right stuff... i have those pieces and i collect historic so i do collect pirates but i dont MOC pirates. So i can trade pieces and parts for Castle minifigs..

Haven't some of these not been released yet? I'm just wondering i thought the ghost is going to be available everywhere?

They dont have it in store... I went ahead and called Lego and they said it was sold out and it doesnt list another date they will get it in stock. I went ahead and got it from toysrus darn my lateness

I bought Kingdoms Chess, 3 Batman Polybags, 3 CMF 7 figures and one PAB cup and Lego Minecraft Set

I was talking to my Lego store manager and they said that so far LOTR is selling like wildfire and they see it probably lasting 3+ years. On a side not they also said Monster fighters and LOTR are outselling everything in the store.

I have been working on my PAB supervisor, and she thinks she may be able to get the the grey 30degree slopes in... i said yeehaw! not sure light or dark, but we'll see. I asked her to get the Logs 1x2 and 1x4 and she got brown, D grey and tan...

My poly bag has no alignment issues

I don't know how exclusive these are, but i have extra batman poly-bags and my Toys R Us has about 30 more. Does anyone need these and aren't able to get them? I would trade them for comparable castle / Kingdoms / Historic type things, or other things?

same here i dont like the colors for the board though i do like the color scheme

So doing the artwork in a Vector program for viewing purposes is nogo?

im surprised that no one has a vector blank Minifigure that you could just lay your stickers over the top of so you could see what they look like. If your trying to see them in 3d its a little harder then that, but i also dont see why there wouldn't also be floating around a 3d vector minifigure in one angle and then transform the decal onto the body I checked this file one out in Illustrator and its pretty good.. http://www.toddle.com/stuff/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Lego_Minifig.zip or this one http://www.clker.com/cliparts/f/0/5/a/12178624511600349944pitr_LEGO_Town_--_fireman_2.svg (you'll have to change the strokes after opening)

yeah the angled section is very similar to the helms deep curved area.

Ecc... do you mind if I copy some of your techniques in my own Mitgardia MOC? My sig Fig is going to be building his own keep and i think i will utilize some of these...

I'm just wondering if a graphic update to a WIP is considered bumping your own thread? Not being contentious just so i know what is considered appropriate...

they look like x2 - 48x48 right?

If you do that can you give me a breakdown of some of the parts? I'd like to build one of these at home for practice Are you using old grey? does it matter if I build it with the current (easily obtainable) grey?

ahhh!!! that's perfect i totally see what you did there wow... way easier but complex then i first thought. Thanks for taking time to show this.

Mayday if at all possible could you show me and others how you did the Tree Base with the 1x2 Log bricks? I have been trying and i can figure it out. I started a seperete thread but i think its wiser to ask here.

Yeah thats what i couldn't figure out... I've looked at the picture. Maybe i just ask him and see if he can get a better photo for me. he does say "They are brilliant to build a round looking rod for tree trunks for example whitout using any one hinge. It´s a pity that there are only available in a huge amount in brown and gray (in all levels) and tan and only in 1 x 2 and 1 x 4.

Oh the post was a link to Mayday's Tree base building with the 1x2 Log brick. I was wondering if someone could help me. I cant seem to figure out how he can turn them off center and build that tree trunk.

Anyone?

http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53197&st=40&p=961950entry961950 I'm trying to replicate this but i cant seem to figure it out.. I'm really new at building my own things and i cant seem to figure out how to make it. Would someone please photo help me out?

Bleh... i guess its not that good of a deal... i was just looking and one guy is selling 1000 of them for .03 thats about what i got them for. I thought they were more costly then that in my mind. I can never tell what i should get at PAB wall... They did have these weird as it may seem

Dude i'll trade you for some of those? here is my latest score at the PAB wall PAB Score by Natesroom, on Flickr Over 500 of the brown Bricks... and about 120 dark grey. I got another cup that i didnt stack of the Tan Palisades... PAB Score 2 by Natesroom, on Flickr
