Yes. But the staff have to redo every banners and specific themes... and it takes a lot of time.

Thanks ZC

Eurobrick's knight Mortesv just posted his Rebel Fleet! Around his stunning Nebulon-B Frigate, many ships are gathered, like a CR-90 Correlian Corvette, GR-75 transports, and some smaller starfighters. Check it out in the dedicated topic of the Star Wars' forum!

Most impressive. Having built half of the GR-75, I can sense the size of that fleet! That's something I'd really want to have at home (one), just to spend hours to look at it

Great review Jim, and nice model Paul! And congrats Vengit on reaching your initial goal! As you may know, I'm not a Technic builder, but I'm really interested in adding movement and lights to system builds. I was very impressed by the Technic airplane in the KS video. That's the sorts of functions I'd like to include in my next builds! Being able to program sequences of action is something I've been waiting for a long time (well I still have the old Technic control center...).

My personal opinion is that what you propose is wrong. Being a judge, I have to refer to the rules. And nothing in AG rules forbid of doing that sort of things. But Eurobricks' rules state that having multiple accounts is forbidden! So I have to ask you to stop this, thanks.

Week 63 is over. Welcome in week 64! Octan's fleet stays on H04. Kawashita's fleet stays on E11. M.A.N.T.I.S.'s fleet moves from F02 to G02. First Aliens' fleet moves from F10 to G10. Second Alien's fleet moves from B04 to C04. Third Alien's fleet moves from F08 to G08. (Map will be updated once the scores are posted)

Captain Darkbluebeard and the Kraken's crew is attacking Spaceport Phillips, a small Imperial Armada's outpost in the outer asteroid belt. Small builds I started just 2 hours before leaving for a Lego exhibition. Not completely happy with them, but I think it's the best I could do in such a short time and not so much bricks left...

I'm shocked! (pirately shocked to be precise...)

Due to Mantis' members lack of reading skills, their fleet is now heading to F02 I'll look into that...

That's something I need to fi for the net races... The software calculates the average speed by dividing the total distance run by the number of cycles... In this case, the Stickleback barely crossed the line on the 8th cycle (I think) and the Pirate Nr.4 crossed the line with a great run on the 9th cycle. So the Stickleback arrived at the 2nd place, but due to its last roll, the Pirate Nr.4 has a slightly bigger average speed...

There a new feature that allows you to report a post without giving a comment... Please don't use it! How can you imagine that we'll deal with a problem if you don't say what is the problem? And things are not always obvious.

Boat Race final : Race between The Stickleback, Wraith, The Stryker, The Water Strider, Pirate Nr.4 and The Corsair. Result:

Week 62 is over. Welcome in week 63!... Things got a little messy here in the last weeks, we'll try to get everything back on track! Octan's fleet stays on H04. Kawashita's fleet moves from F10 to F11. M.A.N.T.I.S.'s fleet moves from F03 to F02. First Aliens' fleet moves from G10 to F10. Second Alien's fleet moves from A05 to B04. Third Alien's fleet moves from H08 to F08. (Map will be updated once the scores are posted) Hi, what will be the job of your character?

My guess on the name is: Thisishotdam(n) Great to see all the progress and details! It looks so good Last week I got back to my own town Saint Nazaire, and I thought about you Ewin: IMG_20160925_110012 by BobDeQuatre, on Flickr

So it's totally purist, except for the power source, the motors, and the rotor blades...

Guys, due to the new forum's "problems" and the absence of judges in the day to come, current week (62) will last until October 2nd.

Things are fixed...

I know Technic people don't like to wander anywhere else than the Technic subforum, but there is a general discussion thread about the upgrade.

I was going to say that maybe you could let the admins, who just spent 48h of their free time, some more time to correct everything including the board themes, but I guess you should get that ban you requested so desperatly... Guys give us some time to correct everything. It's a very time-consuming task, so be patient.

Poor Eshey

Guys and girls I'm very sorry this challenge took so much time... bad preparation, holidays, medical issues, real life... we have tons of excuses, but I can't help but feeling guilty for this... Anyway, boats race results are coming!

Introduction Hi fellow EB members! Today I'll review one of the newest LEGO Architecture set: the United States Capitol. This building feels particular to me, because even if I've never seen it in real and probably never will, I see it almost every day in movies and TV series! But I don't think I know it very well, and I hope to learn lots of facts about it while building. Let's see if the LEGO model does justice to that iconic building. 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: 21030 United States Capitol Theme: LEGO Model Making / Architecture Year: 2016 Pieces: 1032 Price: USD $99.99, GBP 79.99£, EURO 99,99€ Resources: Brickset, BrickLink Packaging As usual, the front of the box shows the set on a black background with a big LEGO Architecture logo. There is also a mention that the instruction booklet will include historical information and details in English, which is great for people who speak English, not much for the others. The rear of the box has a nice picture of both the real Capitol building and its LEGO rendition, and a comment about the building in a few language.There are also indications on the size of the final build ( 95 mm wide and 390 mm tall). You also see that you'll be able to lift the dome to see the National Statuary Hall from above. Content of the box The box contains the instructions booklet, 9 unnumbered bags, 6 loose 8x16 plates in dark bluish grey, a brick separator and the usual LEGO Architecture flyer. Instructions booklet The 155 pages instructions booklet is relatively big, almost an A4 size (Letter size I think). At the beginning, there are a few pages with details about the building, with nice pictures. The instructions are clear (there's almost only white bricks on a black background) and easy to follow. Except for a SNOTed assembly in the dome, there are no fancy or advanced techniques in this build. When needed, the designer placed the side stud of headlight bricks in the hole of a 1x1 technic brick. He also used that technique when it was unneeded, instead of using a plain 1x2 brick. Build We'll start the build with stacking plates to make the base. It is rather fragile, especially if you're building on your laps like I did for this review! The first plates and tiles delimit the walls of the building. We can also see the flooring of the National Statuary Hall. The white jumpers will be used to offset some assemblies that we'll do later. At step 58, we've done some gardening and put the first layer of bricks. The front stairs are also in place. Here you can see the completed walls. Different windows' sizes are done with either headlight bricks or technic bricks. At this point, and after positioning 178 of them, I couldn't stand the sight of a white headlight brick. That picture also shows the most negative point of the set: the back-side is just composed of plain white bricks. Colonnades are done and we're starting building the roof. After all that white, sand green almost feels like a bright color! The finished building, with the roof and dome completed. Some spare parts. Surprisingly we got two spare white statues! Interesting parts The most evident interesting parts are the sand green ones. The 6x6 dishes in sand green are exclusive to this set, as is the dark bluish grey statue, while the white statue can be found only in the 21026 Venice set. But in this set we got 6 statues of each color! In the picture I didn't include the 6x6 round plate in white, which can only be found in the 75904 Mystery Mansion and the 71040 Disney Castle, and the #21229 Fence Spindled 4 x 4 x 2 Quarter Round with 3 Studs that is exclusive to this set. Conclusion I like this set, it looks good... But it lacks some kind of wow factor. When my friends saw the model built, their first reaction was: "I thought it would be bigger". I think it is due to the height of the dome that makes the building under looks rather flat. That said, the set has the right proportions compared to the real building, except for the eastern facade, the back side of the set, which is simply cut off. That looks a bit strange when looking at the set from above, and even worse from the rear. I think since you can't display the set from two opposite angle at the same time, it is a rather good compromise since a whole facade would have needed two or three hundred parts. Design: 7/10 - The set is well designed, and it's the first time I see a "play feature" in an Architecture set (the dome lifting up to reveal the National Statuary Hall). Parts: 8/10 - Almost no variety in bricks' shapes and colors, but some nice parts, especially the 12 statues and the sand green parts. Build: 7/10 - The build experience is quite boring and repetitive (some steps ask you to place 40 headlight bricks!), but it is nice to see the building rise. Price: 6/10 - The price per piece is average for the theme (0,097). Too expensive as a parts pack at full price, if you want a good source of white headlight bricks you should wait for a discount. Overall: 28/40 (70%) - A good representation of the original building, except for the missing facade. This set is a nice addition to a LEGO Architecture collection, next to the Lincoln Memorial fo example. My only advice would be to display it at eyes level.

Does the baby headpiece fits on a regular torso? As always, I don't buy CMFs, except for one of each the minifigs that I like. In this serie I got the cyborg, the ice queen and the rogue.
