Happy birthday! Have fun eat goodies. I hope you both got some awesome LEGO for your birthday.

Try north Africa, possibly Egypt. Though I hear the Greeks and Romans at one time had decent ships you could also try them. I doubt any of them have a love for the French, Spanish, English or any other European country but you can try. I am liking that so many have decide to go to war. I will continue monitoring the situation with a slight anticipation.

Willy you should also add a link to your story in your signature. That way people can access it anytime they see one of your posts.

Be patient. People will have more than enough of them to sell after christmas and probably for less than $2 a piece.

Great? no, more like wow, that was um . . . different. It sounded more like exhausted chipmunks than Darth and Luke.

Expect the first tomorrow, when the bell tolls One
SuvieD replied to Athos's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Another perfect capture. I like how he looks in on his young self and it is so different from what he has become. You are getting quite good at these Mr Athos. Unmistakable likeness and plenty of details. *y* -
Good capture of a classic. I like that Scrooge is a wrinkly and grumpy looking old man. All the needed details are there like the clock and you have made a nice looking chair also.

As it is hard to have a single figure to call favorite. I wouldn't give up my Vader but not because he is my favorite. I would have to say that the original Blacktron is probably my favorite. He is a classic and never goes out of style. I don't like town. The only exceptions to that is the necklace wearing girls, plain torsos, the plain diagonal zipper jackets and possibly a few others. I never liked town. My town even as a child were not used for town.

Nice to meet you William. You will no doubt meet Phes.
-
The detailed hand wraps are awesome. That guy looks like he would fight like an bull. I am not familiar with any of them so I am guessing they come from the cartoon series of which I have seen. You must have 20+ custom jedi buy now. Any chance we could get a group picture?
-
That speeder looks better than the original mecha. I have the gate set now I am waiting to get the two smaller sets. Those look great. Once, I have a few of those I am not sure I will even buy the others. I just hope the prices for them on BL aren't too high so I can get the rest of the anime figures cheap.
-
I have LEGO star wars for GC on my list. I also want beef jerky and a few viking sets.
-
Other. I think Narnia will be the best movie for this year.
-
4 unlikely heroes 6 fiendish robots bent on world destruction 4 powerful mechanized walking weapons platforms 2 laser chaingun toting buggies 2 highly defended gates protecting humanity 802 parts for superior play and hours of fun $45 at your local TRU :-D The other logical choice is of course the graveyard duel.

These are simple little MOCs that remind me of sets LEGO actually made. I am worried about the sailor with no pants though, he will likely get stares and possibly catch cold. :oo I forsee many great MOCs coming from you in the future. BTW where did you get all this old LEGO being that you are 14?

I think it is wonderful you believe in a mockery and think it is so cute. :| I also think that if it weren't for Jesus you would not gotten those xpods from me. Believe what you want. I can make up garbage and slap a little truth in it to make a mockery too but it won't change reality. You don't need to have religion to do good things but religion itself is helping widows and orphans, helping those in need of what you have in abundance. Religion is not what people stereotype it to be. Jesus changes lives. Not just doing good things or trying to be a good person. It is about being a different person with a different purpose. Besides, people like you are an exception. I would dare say that 50% or the English speaking world hasn't bothered to feed or cloth one person outside there social circle. People in general are awful and do awful things. Doing good things on it's own doesn't make you a good person. Not doing the wrong things, fixing it when you do and doing the right things is what it will take. Oh, and I trust little of what comes out of Rome. I will let this rest. Say what you want, I have seen and experienced lives being changed when nothing else was working. Proof positive.

For a set number they have to make enough bricks, package them, ship them to the distribution center so they can then be shipped all over the world. Now multiple all that by 30 set designs and at least 10,000 of each one. The bricks alone would be in the 500 million range. Not only that but they do this twice a year and still make parts for promotional, shop at home, and for the factory sets. The brick machines need to run non-stop I bet just to do all that. Plus the extra sets they sell on Christmas, the high demand sets like SW, the special sets retail chains get, LEGO legends, and more. This doesn't even count Duplo or Bionicle. LEGO is very busy.

Or perhaps we could say you made it. Does that make sense? Anyone can say anything and that won't make sense. You obviously didn't make all this did you? I can prove you didn't. There is evidence that you didn't. There are no prophecies true or untrue about you making all this. There is nothing to suggest that you made anything. Yet, there are complexities of science that do logically point to some engineer of life. The question was to promote thought, not arguement or as an answer. Not hard to believe, impossible. The is no man who floats in the sky. How do you explain ghosts? How do you explain real life witchcraft or voodoo? It exists. They have proof that people have used such "magic" to bring people back from the dead. What has caused that. Man obviously doesn't have power over life and death. Is it not extrememly likely that there is a spiritual realm of some sort that can effect things in this natural physical realm? Isn't it also likely that there is a spirit more powerful than all the others if spirits exist? I have only one proof for you that God exists Sam. Five years ago I read protions of a book. I then began thinking and answering lifes questions the best I could because I did not want to end up like my drunken father. I made some decisions and for reasons I can't explain I am not that same person. I realised I was headed down a similar path as my father. No, not living in a vodka bottle but I was a liar, selfcentered and a jerk. Yet, now five years later not only did I offer to purchase 2005 x-pods for people here on EB who couldn't get them I did. I spent hours of my time looking for them. I went to the post office three times to get price quotes and to eventually mail them in a bubble wrap package I paid for with my own money. Hours of time and money I could have spent on myself or with my wife. I am not trying to brag but you have the proof in you LEGO collection Sam. I don't live just for me or my friends anymore. I don't even know you other than the couple of posts you have made here on EB that I have read. It isn't about me anymore Sam. It's about Him. It's about doing things His way. Reguardless of what you believe about the bible or the God that is described there. It is to Him you owe your thanks for those x-pods. Not me.

Okay, Crispen and DV please don't feed a troll. For that is were this conversation will go if people are not careful. Right now it is a cute little troll but it will get ugly in here fast. To answer Crispen I am indeed a christian. Be careful what you say about what is and what isn't. Absolute knowledge is not obtainable by a man. The topic is about alien life, life outside of earth. Let's keep it as close to that as possible. Religion is not a good topic to discuss in a heated way. Science can not prove the existance of a higher being yet. It may one day though it may not. Science can not count the stars, the planets revolving around them, nor can it support the theory of life on them. Physical life outside of earth is not mentioned, though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Bible makes no mention or cocaine addiction either but that is not a good thing to get involved in, now is it? Aliens of some or many kinds may exist. We don't know. Long distance space travel is still only a dream in the realm of science. Even if a ship could be created to travel the speed of light it is most likely too far to anything that would have life on it for us to travel to in a lifetime. Just to give people something to think about not to fan any flame I will give two examples in support of a christian view point. 1. An afol decide he is going to build a castle. He is a smart builder and decides to start with a detailed plan before he begins building. He plans out every detail and then begins building. First he lays the foundation, then he begins adding the details and when he is done with the building he begins to add the water in the hole he made for it, places bones in the caves under it, adds trees and plantlife to the ground and finally when he is finished with all this he places minifigures to populate it. Can we not assume then that if a builder so carefully planned and built this little castle LEGO world, that if there is a creator who is more intelligent and a better designer, planner, and creator that it is possible he added even the smallest of detials to his MOC that would awe and amaze people when they discover them? 2. A brilliant man mathematically discovers how to fully assemble the pieces of a car by dropping it off a cliff in an exact positions and at exact times. He takes all of the parts with him to the top of the cliff and sets them up perfectly. He then walks away and goes to the cliff base next to where the car will land. With a press of a button he watches the parts fall into place one by one. Slowly they form the car and each piece falls perfectly into place. The last part falls into place and it forms a perfect car with the keys falling into the open window to start it up. Click. Now who charges the battery? Even if the conditions were right even if everything lined up for even the smallest 1 celled organizm to begin life, who kick starts that engine? Then to think that one cell could have evolved into some millions of different species ranging from jellyfish to elephants, that I can not believe. What is really interesting is that man has attempted to start life. The have succeeded in creating living organisms yet they had to start the living process. Even with planned, controlled, nearly perfect natural environmental scientific paramiters life would not start until man gave it a start. It takes a creator to start it all reguardless of the involvement after that point.
