Rook

Final Update: I started to shred some MOCs last week to get ready for a new build. Here's the frame for this vehicle if anyone was curious.

Welcome to the best multi-theme fan forum on the planet (Well English speaking one that is. ).

Clever use of a three symbol greeting. "Hi!" As well. Always glad to see new Adult Fans of Lego on a forum.

Centre of the mall. Built Friday, Saturday, Sunday and ripped apart after photo shoot. See Photobucket images. See above comment. I think East Enders don't really get over to the west end that much personally unless you have friends, family, or work that have to go to. I'm really only over on the west end when I'm going to Buffalo, NY area.

Sorry kind of forgot about this thread after the excitement of going but here’s my Flickr with few pictures (10-ish) from Sherway Gardens on Sunday and here’s my Photobucket with all of them (91). http://www.flickr.com/photos/11205069@N06/ http://s878.photobucket.com/albums/ab348/Rook2010/Toronto%20Lego%20Store%20Grand%20Opening/ See you all at BrickFete on July 30th.

Instructions! I'd rip them apart and ship them with instructions. I'd never buy glued Lego. Thus I refuse buy the glued magnet sets.

Thanks both were just quick builds for group builds over on CABG. Simple and fun. Trying to lean that way more but I just get sucked into building these mega MOCs so often. Then these little other ideas pop into my head and I don’t have the pieces I need, nor do I want to stop construction on one thing to work on another.

Ah actually I did. My comments where cleverly disguised as joke or a razz. My comments broke down like this: 1. Reshoot your pictures so that they are clear. Aka read your users manual for your camera and learn how to us the Marco setting (flower symbol). 2. Then using a photo hosting site or photo image editing software resize your images. 3. After completing those tasks we'll be able to give you better feedback on the actual construction and design. PS: Use a better background (posterboard from dollar store) or edit out your personal life slipping through the cracks using photo editing software. PSS: Looks your minifigure is going to be pretty cool once we see him.

Well done, I like the kind of missing engine block in this whole burnt out jeep.

Mmm, if Lego tasted like candy, that would be SWEETtarts.

Standing by and ready to vote! Ah love how many entries there are.

Holy giant blurry images Batman this looks like the work of the evil…

Probably, I have most of the Exo-Force sets. Yeah except I don't walk around the house naked with Lego and a camera. Yeah I have heard that many times before. CABG specializes in non-canon fan fiction MOCs during the Clone Wars Era.

Here's my review that I did for a different site: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set Review: 4181 Isla de la Muerta As I've siad before I'm not big on set reviews but this was a must: Stats: Price: CAD 24.99 Pieces: 152 Actual Image Pros: Johnny Depp Minifigure. Cons: Everything! Note the fact the chrome gold pieces as shown on the box ARE NOT CHROME! Lego is getting some hate mail today! :x Summary: Don't buy it. It's crap.

Ah looks like I'm going to be able to make it to Sherway Gardens now until Sunday! I'll still be rockin' my Lego Vadar shirt. See some of you then hopefully.

Yeah for many years I'd hoped TLG would get the Transformers License. Nope, got to let some crap brand carry it instead.

Ah so jealous of that much white!

Great sets! I wish TLG would have gone more this route with their sets, rather than rehashing the TIE Fighter a dozen different ways!

Cuidado con los conquistadores! (Watch out for the Conquistadors!)

Per Week: Building: About 1 hour per day and 3 hours per weekend for of average of about 8-12 hours per week. Sorting/Shredding: 5 hours for about every 100 hours (Based on stats taken after a Mega MOC) Watching/Surfing: I'm an ADMIN on a small forum. So usually about 2-4 hour per day (5 days per week) depending on appointments for an average of about 15 hours per week. Acquiring: Ah including driving time? 30-60 minutes per week. Grand Total: 21 hours-ish per week 21/168 or about 12.5% of my life (+/-10% varying from week to week).

That does it for the contest at least. But this is a whole series of MOCs I'll be working on this last half of the year. I also want to squeeze in some Neo – Classic Space MOCs this summer. I'll probably do the following though in this style: Land/Air Speeder (10-20 studs long) Heavy Star Fighter (2-4 crew)(20-60 studs long) Possibly a Medium Shuttle/Transport (50-100 studs long) Possibly a Mega MOC in the Fall (3 feet long min.) but I'll need to do so piece focused shopping this summer.

You should post an image of the original set next to it.
