or the 25th oh wait...

Starting next week, all resources earned will be multiplied by 10. This includes resources gained with equipment or technology.

Hey Mike, can you remind me the day Siegfried said I'd win this year?

yes

Well we are still discussing this, but we have to take a decision asap. What we'll do isn't reducing the tech prices, but increase the amounts of resources awarded per build.

Finally found some time to take pictures of the Hydra alone...

Week 70 is over. Welcome in week 71! Octan's fleet stays on H03.Kawashita's fleet stays on C10.M.A.N.T.I.S.'s fleet stays on E01.First Aliens' fleet moves from H08 to G07.Second Alien's fleet moves from B04 to A05.Third Alien's fleet moves from D09 to D08. I think the best option is to post them as freebuilds.

Stay on target guys! I know it's hard for some, but please keep the discussion on SW 2017 pictures and rumors and that's all.

Sorry... I must have been sidetracked since I took the credits but didn't edit on your profile

From the Site Guideline that everyone on EB read and accepted:

Week 69 is over. Welcome in week 70! Octan's fleet stays on H03.Kawashita's fleet stays on C10.M.A.N.T.I.S.'s fleet stays on E01.First Aliens' fleet moves from H09 to H08.Second Alien's fleet moves from C05 to B04.Third Alien's fleet moves from E09 to D09.

I'm sorry, last week was very busy for us and we didn't post the scores (tbh, I'm not sure all the votes have been cast). I'll post the scores as soon as I can, which will be tomorrow morning... Again sorry for that. And of cpurse ypu can post your build for this week!

There is a 1:1 scale drawing of the hoses and the "carriages", so pretty easy to get the spacing right The eye is attached with a technic pin, so it may rotate on one side or the other. When it rotate toward the Tower Bridge that's no big deal, but when it rotate toward the National Gallery, it looks bad!

The set was revealed yesterday at the Leicester's Square Store opening. TLG sent some boxes to a few people for reviewing, asking not to reveal anything before a certain date. Posting pictures of the set before that date is considered a leak. I don't have the other sets, so I can't tell you more about them.

The set was on embargo until today 12:00 CET... A picture of the set on a carpet isn't what I'd call an official picture, and since the set was on embargo, it was clearly a leak. Still confused?

And 21034 appeared here on EB

Introduction Hi fellow EB members! After the release of #21028 New York, #21027 Berlin and #21026 Venice, the Lego Architecture skylines series will expand in January with three new set: #21032 Sydney, #21033 Chicago and #21034 London. I was given the chance to review the later, so let's take a tour in London! Thanks to EB LUG Ambassador CopMike and the LEGO CEE Team and Designers for giving me the opportunity to review this set! Set information Name: 21034 London Theme: LEGO Model Making / Architecture Year: 2017 (Available now only at the Leicester's Square London Lego Store) Pieces: 468 Price: USD NA, GBP NA, EURO NA Resources: Brickset, BrickLink Packaging The box comes in the usual LEGO Architecture 's black livery. The front shows the full set, proudly standing on blueprints against the black background. On the upper left corner is a rather big LEGO Architecture logo and just under is the name of set and its location in the world... Nothing fancy here, just the good old Architecture box! The back of the box has a front shot of the set with pictures of each of the real buildings and a short comment on London in a few languages. Size of the set is also indicated: 285mm wide and 150mm tall. Content of the box The box contains the instructions booklet, 4 unnumbered bags but no brick separator. There are also 4 lose white 24L rigid hoses. Instructions booklet The 119 pages instructions booklet is, as always with Architecture sets, very well done and good looking with the classic black background. Of course about the monuments you're about to build. The instructions are easy to follow and thanks to the black background, it's very unlikely that you'll mistake a color for another. Build I'll skip lots of steps to reach the point where the base is completely done. You can clearly see that the buildings aren't all aligned, but the London Eye (and the National Gallery) will be positioned behind the others monuments. Lego choose the trans-clear color for the river Thames, which may or may not be very accurate! Now let's add some buildings on it! (Note that I'll review each monuments in an order that is not the building order) Let's start building with the Tower Bridge, the biggest and most complex build in this set. It is nicely created, with a good amount of details. One thing that bothers me is that it seems distorted, taller than it should... If the use of tan color is discutable, the medium blue is spot on! The London Eye is next! The build is really well thought, using flex tubes for the wheel and new white wishbones for the center structure. I'm not fond of the two gray technic pins used to join the flex tubes, but I can't think of a better part to use, except if we had white technic pins! The base of the wheel could have used a few less white parts to be more accurate. The National Gallery and Nelson"s column may be the tiniest builds of the set, together they make a really nice Trafalgar Square. The last building in this set is Big Ben, along with a part of the Palace of Westminster. First let's just talk about the look of the monument. It's pretty nicely designed, the textures are nice (ok, I turned Big Ben sideway, my bad) and proportions look good. A nice detail is the printed 2x2 brick with a printed clock pattern, too bad it's only printed on one side. Now let's see why I'm disappointed in this building... It may be the 5th or 6th rendition of Big Ben in Lego form, so I'm assuming Lego designer know pretty well the structure of the Palace of Westminster! When looking at the back of the box, we clearly see that the Lego build is almost exactly what we see in the picture of the real building: Now take a look at Westminster's plan and try to find what part of the Palace is represented by the Lego build... Big Ben is the "clock tower" on the far right, and the tower present in the build is the one over the "library", at the bottom right of the plan... To resume, the small build should be the #10253 Big Ben Creator set scaled down, so there's a big proportions problem! Going back to the review with the completed set. I must say it looks nice, despite being a bit too crowded on the left side, with the Eye keeping falling on the National Gallery! The boat on the Thames is a simple but nice detail! As always there is some spare parts. Interesting parts The set comes with a handful of 1x2 trans-clear tiles and 1x2 tan log bricks. There are also some of the new 1x1 quarter round tiles in light bluish gray and two white trophy statuettes. Exclusive parts include the printed London 1x8 black tile and the clock 2x2 tan brick, but also two white Technic wishbone suspension arm, the four 24L hose in white, the four medium blue 32580 hose 7M, and the new 23443 Bar Holder with Handle in medium blue. Conclusion Design: 7/10 - Nice, but some innacuracies that bother me... I hope it's only me! Parts: 8/10 - There are some great parts in this set, and a nice variety for an Architecture set. Build: 7/10 - Nice builds but with no advanced techniques. Price: --/10 - The retail prices aren't published as I write this review. I'll update that score when they are. Overall: 22/30 (73%) - A nice LEGO Architecture set, continuing an interesting sub-theme. Some minor flaws that won't decourage the Architecture's fans to get this set!

Thanks! I was lucky to have Qi Gon's poncho laying around, it makes a great Lion of Nemea's pelt Thanks, I'll get more pictures of the hydra, but she's guite difficult to photograph. Thanks Ecc. It's refreshing to build something different from time to time, but also frustrating as I don't have the needed parts! (I used all my dark tan and vegetation, and almost all my tan...)

So...I suppose those pictures are official pictures and not leaks??

Week 68 is over. Welcome in week 69! Octan's fleet stays on H03.Kawashita's fleet stays on C10.M.A.N.T.I.S.'s fleet moves from F02 to E01.First Aliens' fleet moves from G09 to H09.Second Alien's fleet moves from B05 to C04.Third Alien's fleet moves from F09 to E09.

Thanks guys

After defeating the Lion of Nemea, Hercules was asked to kill the monster that terrorized the countryside around the city of Lerna. The Hydra was a terrifying creature with the body of a dragon and many heads spitting poisonous venom. For each severed head, two would grow back in its place. Hercules lured the Hydra of its den by shooting flaming arrows at it and led it to the old Poseidon's shrine near the swamp where lived the creature. Hidden by a cliff, Iolaos stood ready to cauterize the necks of the Hydra each time Hercules would cut of one of its heads.

You can hope, there's no problem with that...
