  1. Anybody willing to pick up a few of The Battle of Helm's Deep (9474) from Canadian website and ship it to Michigan USA? I can care less about boxes. Depending on this shipping of course, for that price I'd take at least 2.
  2. Yup, just ordered again. I love his products. Amazing.
  3. Does anybody have a link for better pics?
  4. Are you selling this as one huge lot or would you be willing to break it? How much are you looking for?
  5. Amazing. Thank you so much.
  6. Hello fellow EB-ers. Would someone be interested in making the following torso and head designs; http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=973pb713c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3626bpb429 Thanks
  7. Only 2 here mate; Castle and Pirates. My castle is about 85% and 15& is pirates. I have well over 1,000 castle figures. I proud myself in customizing and trying to add different faces in order to avoid "clone armies". Pirates I have about 150 minifigs.
  8. Jason, Looking at the current prices and probability rate of getting Spartan minifig, $5 a pop wont really get you anywhere. Especially if you are looking for a sealed Spartan minifig. I just picked up 20 for a $6.70 a pop....without spear and shield. Which is ok. I wanted to put different shield and spear anyways so it played out alright.
  9. I dont comment much, but I have too on this one. Fantastic. Brilliant. Love it. This just made me start yet another MOC. Thanks mate, like I dont have to pour plenty of money on other MOCs ;) ha-ha
  10. Where and how do you order those boxes?? I have been buying bricks for my huge moc (size of a twin bed :D ) and I ran out of bricks multiple times. Even when I order #100+ orders I am out within 2 days :(
  11. I live in Michigan...which means the worst economy...which means no lego store haha. I placed 8 orders from bricklink int the past month. I got a huge chunk of my castle done-would send them pics but dont want to spoil it. My last order came about a week ago. It was around 800 bricks. Gone. All of it. Every single piece. Off I go now to order more. Its like a never ending process....Just buy and buy some more, and then when yu are done buying-buy some more ;) Cheers
  12. Hello mate. I was in the similar situation as you are in. I always wanted to build a huge castle, but because of lack of funds during my childhood I never had a chance to buy any lego, so my "collection" were yearly lego catalogs where I would dream about getting sets and playing with them. However, I always had this obsession about castles and wanted to make a huge castle. About 4 years ago I started buying lego sets that I could not have during my childhood. I aquired most of them. After several thousands of dollars as mearly 4 years later I decided to break 'em and build that dream castle (still in progress-started bulding 3 weeks ago). I do cacth myself ordering from bricklink a decent amount every week. The thing is if you want a big castle utalize all your parts and get the ones you need. I find BURP, panels and 2X5 bricks to work well. Bricklink is pretty reasonable, it just depends on how big of a castle you want to make. My castle is the size of twin bed....yup. that would explain constantly running out of parts and replenishing my supplies. Besides bricklink garage sales are your best bet. I personally dont have time to go garage sale shopping but heard of some good finds. The most convinient is bricklink-it can add up but it will depend how big of a project and detailed you want to make. Make sure you utilize your own parts first.
  13. I noticed that. Cockroaches! haha. And then they run out within first 10 minutes of receiving truck. Unbelievable. Ill have to reserve 10 boxes or so.
  14. Who is brave enough to take a challenge of making the new kingdoms torsos? PM me when done if there are any challengers
  15. SPARTAN!!!!!!! I am a huge fan of spartans, their culture and lifestyle. I have 5 custom made, but plan to get 20-30 of these. Second place rightfully goes tot he Egyptian. Ill try to get 20-30 of these too. After them two Dracula and witch (ill get one of each) for others I can care less. Series 1, my favorite is Forestman, ninja and caveman. Trying to get 10-20 of each currently
  16. I know how you feel. I had a similar situation 4 years ago. I was hardcore into castle but would always check on pirates, the old ones that is. Id go through brickset and so on. Finally got a couple of sets off of eBay. 2010 rolled in and I got the new line- pretty happy with it. Then the best part comes; customization. Im not sure how you feel towards it or have any desire to do so but it makes it extra fun. I have now about 100 pirate minifigures of which at least 60 are custom made. Im basically doing 5 pirate captains with crew of 15 each (different outfits and so on) and imperial soldiers-blue coats and new red coats. Even though I am a diehard castle fan-over 1,000 castle figures (pride myself of not owning an army of clones) and a lot more sets/ bricks that are castle themed. Im also curentlly working on this huge castle MOC. After that I will do pirates, I bought parts for 3 big pirate ships but never started'em. Anyhow, to sum this up, it is never too late to get into something., regardelss what that might be.If it makes you happy, go for it. New pirate line is quite neat-i like'em a lot. My personal collection of new pirate line is ; brickbeards ship, cannon battle X4, and Pirate hideout. I'll be looking forward to get kraken attacks and that island set as well. For some odd reason Soldiers fort does not strike me.
  17. I'd pay tax too, not an issue. well, it seems as the best thing is to keep trying to get'em myself. If someone else is intrested in helping me out just PM me.
  18. It depends on several things; 1. How big MOC are you planning to make? 2. What is the importance and room available for village? 3. Are you planning to use parts on your castle, and if so what parts? Pehaps bricklink can be a better alternative. 4. If the parts are used for shops, blacksmith, inn, stable and so on how big those buildings are going to be and can you use your current parts instead of buying $100 set. Also, bricklink might be better alternative.
  19. how did u manage buying 60 bags when the limit is 5?
  20. Hello EB community. As many might now there is a big excitement in the air about collectable minifigs . Some lucky lads got their hands on several bags of these, while others spent hours searching around their area with no luck. I was, unfortunatelly, in the second group. Many might be, if not PM me, familiar that there is a qucik barcode check to identify what minifig is in the bag. I would be interested in the following; 10 cavemen, 5-10 ninjas and 10-20 forestman. I am willing to pay for minifigs and shipping and will give extra $20 for troubles. No, I would not be interested in buying off of ebay or bricklink and paying more then $1.99 a minifigure actually is. I am looking for a favor, not a rip off deal. I will gladly return the favor back when called upon.
  21. What a great question. In my lego world magic plays a pretty decent role, even though old fashioned medieval battles will be more reliable and constant. My wizards can use magic but the more they use it the weaker they get, so you wont see one mage blasting 50 warrioirs and then 50 again and so on. Their powers will strongly depend on the magician itself, their background and knowledge. Also, my dragon knights are dragon radiers, as well as some wizards. Besides that I have polar bear fighter, 3 headed dog rider, centaur warriors, and dont forget them elves. Elves also have mages that help their warrioirs to fight better. Finally, I am looking into making another faction; flying people. Something like birdmen tribe :)
  22. Pretty much copy and paste every single word haha. For some odd reason Kings Carriage is right up there too (never got it)
  23. The closest one is 3.5 hrs away.Its a bit odd that they came up with 16 different figures but only 5 can be ordered fom lego.com. Doesnt make any sense, how are you supposed to collect all 16 if you can order only five?!?! Blah.
  24. Toys R Us...Walmart...Target...Sears....Meijer.... nothing....nada...nista...zip...zero... several of these stores in my area. not a bag. anyone willing to pick some of these bags for us less fortunate ones (findingwise that is ;) ) ?
  25. Would anyone be willing to pick up 1 clown minifg, 10 pre historic man (or whatever you call them guys with clubs) and 10-20 forestman? Ill pay for shipping and extra for work. I cannot find these anywhere. PM me.
