The Danish laws are sufficient. A company don't really need to point out confidentiality in a contract.

I doubt that any Lego designer has a too open-mouth. If there is such, he or she may not like his/her job very much. You don't need an NDA, which are used towards non-employees.

Have you seen these: Mata Nui "Review" I would kind of like to stick to the one picture pr. set rule that I've followed until now. But I could maybe make some new close ups of Mata Nui, and add to that review (there are two close ups there already).

Looks great. The top of the head is an old mask, I recognise that, but which part makes up the front of the head ?

Look carefully, I "think" the visor is new

The sword pieces has been rearranged, and I don't think I needed suplementary small technic pieces. Actually the shield is modified too (can't be seen in the picture). It has three blades instead of two, and they are attached through Three cross axle - connector. Before I took the pictures I removed the Vultraz mask which I have normally fitted on Icarax. The makuta mask is then attached on his back :-)

Nothing attach to the front, but otherwise ... System and Technic in a "head-gear"

Anyone care to guess how many functions the minifigure "head-gear" host ?

I like the building style, seems to be a lot of creativity hidden too.

It is not as simple as that. Generally I can't show anything from developement, without agreement from managers etc. That includes old stuff too. The Retailers catalog, well I'm not sure how it should be treated regarding confidentiallity, for the costumers that recieve it. I get it on my desk when it's launched, and as such treat it as confidential.

I've got a Canon EOS 5D since early 2006. It's an expensive camera, but I use it for my other big hobby: photographing dragonflies. I have four macro lenses, ranging in prize between 350 and 900 Euro, so I'm a bit of a macro-photo nerd. All the pictures here has been taken with the same lens, a Sigma 50/2.8 Macro, the least expensive I've got, but it is very suited for photos like this, and is a great sharp lens. One day I might have used more money on Lego than photo gear, but that is still gonna take some years.

I now realise I haven't even contributed to this thread yet. Let me take the time and say to you Blakbird, that I truely love your site. First of all it give me a quick access to looking at different sets through the years, including descriptions of functions. But the part with most value for me, is the description of the new parts for each year. As a part designer this is really interesting, learning the history of the Technic pieces, and I don't even know if I could quickly find something similar as an employee. That is why I also eagerly awaits the future beyond 1994. But serious stuff like this takes time, so don't rush it please. Front

Nice body proportions and an unusual but fine use of different pieces.

I had a go at building a Bionicle set in the bag, this one: 8915 - Toa Matoro. It was pretty hard to do, as the set just only fit in the bag after assembly. Adding technic bushings and stuff is much harder than building with bricks and plates.

Glad that many like the photos. The pictures has gotten a bit repetitive regarding lightning etc. so I will try and be more creative in the pictures to come. Still got sets to deal with, picked up two Phantoka canisters today I did not have. If anyone would like a particular photo in a larger size, for desktop-background, printing or just to have on the computer, you are welcome to PM me, stating which resolution you need. Like e.g. 1600x1200 pixels, instead of the 800x533 pixels shown here. The original files are approximately 4300x3100 pixels, and can be printed very large. I'm using my Canon 5D, a 12.8 Mpixel camera, and a 50 mm Sigma macro lens.

The start of the movie did not impress me, but 30 seconds later everything was fine.

No, I'm simply exposing the head to too much light, making the plastic look transparent. Look at the chest (torso) piece also in green, light travels through it. Nothing strange about that though, I guess.

A big welcome from Denmark, and despite your age you may fit in fine on this forum. As long as you don't always act like you're 10

Thank you for comments. Lightning up the red stick on Kopaka is not possible from behind, but I might have been able to direct the spotlight at it though from e.g. below, creating the desired glowing effect. Or I could have "drilled" the "ligthsaber hole" on his mask through, allowing light to enter from behind 28: 8761, Roodaka and 8756, Sidorak. 2005, Titan sets.

It seems like Disney just bought Marvel.

I think I might count two. Watch the Bye Bye Babylon video. And I think I know which character you thought of first.

UPS is not telling the truth. They have the responsability to deliver the items to you. How do you know the carrier did not stole the package ? UPS need to cover the failed shipping. It's as simple as that.
