    Nice armies. My criticism would be the mixture of flesh and yellow skin characters. It is not so bad when you mix the other colours (eg. troll heads or fantasy style black ones), but flesh against yellow looks odd. I don't think you should be showing the fake Rohan soldiers as they are direct copies of a lego product and so shouldn't be here. I think the rule is that you can only show such figures when they are something that lego doesn't make, and even then they should be in the special region of Community rather than in regular threads. Although I'm sure I will be corrected if I misunderstood the rule about bootlegs. That said, if you don't say they are fake, how is anyone to know ...?

    You have to host the images somewhere first, then link to them. Take a look at the FAQ thread, and search for "image". You will learn how to share images properly.

    Character Building also did Doctor Who long before LEGO ... and they did quite a bit more of the history of it too.

    And in how many of those sets did you get more than one? Lego don't treat this as a building part, so they will not include so many in one set.

    He's a clear winner now, with 70+ votes. Can we move on?

    Lego rarely gives out information like this whether positive or negative. They will give a vague answer that you can interpret any way you like, committing to nothing. If he had said there are no plans at the moment, and then something happened in future, then that would give out information about how far in advance plans are made for such events.

    Yeah, this one is over ... Now it gets even nastier!

    The quote from that page is "With 2018 marking 40 years of the modern minifigure and 40 years of Classic Space, Padda was asked if anything special was planned. ‘You’ll have to wait and see,’ he smiled, cryptically." So both the minifigure and classic space anniversary in one question. I have no doubt they will mark the 40th anniversary of the modern minifigure somehow. Of course, "you’ll have to wait and see", can mean "Yes, but I'm not telling you yet" but it can also mean "No, but I'm not giving you that information".

    Nice moc, but I cannot see lego ever making it as a set with so many separators in it.

    I'd also be against votes for mods. It is simply not necessary and would completely change the way the site is run with each "government". There is an alternative if you want to be a mod of a lego fan forum - start your own, build it up and police your forum's members as you like.

    That was a problem at the time, as the picking staff were apparently unaware of the error, or indeed the existence of the corrected part. I think by now they know about it, and have only the correct ones. I know at the time I got sent a wrong replacement. Someone else I know had three incorrect ones sent before finally getting the correct one!

    I have one similar to your first one, it is just about useable although I use 1x1 round bricks for the pawns so they don't fall apart so easily when moved. I doubt you'd be able to play with the smaller version. It will be just too fiddly to move the pieces, especially if there are pieces on neighbouring squares.

    Quarter final 4, tough one for me as I cannot believe either of them made it this far. So I'll have to vote for the Bagpiper, not because I like him but only because the Scarecrow knocked out the Spartan.

    There are two definitions. One as you say, a soldier armed with a musket. The second definition is a type of soldier in 17th and 18th century France, which is what this one is. I thought the latter was well known due to The Three Musketeers. That would probably just be a measure of the popularity of the theme, rather than the minifig.

    Or (more likely) we'll get nothing more from The Simpsons. I believe the house and Kwik-E-Mart were well received by AFOLs and some older kids, but I haven't a clue how well they did financially. I think it has been too long between Simpsons CMF series for them to do a 3rd series. If they do a 3rd, they'll have to repeat a lot of characters to get new people drawn in. If people didn't already buy S1 and S2, then presumably they won't be interested in S3, so the pool of potential buyers drops.

    I don't believe they will do a series 3, as it has been too long since series 1 and 2, and the D2C sets. The list is pretty much the important second tier characters we are missing. They would probably redo more of the main Simpsons family though, although these could be good if they did maybe Halloween / Treehouse of Horror versions, or some of Homer's various outfits (Stonecutter, Mascot, Mumu, etc). Obviously, the ones missing are the controversial ones - especially the alcohol (Moe and Barney, with Lenny and Carl) and drugs (Otto) ones.
  17. MAB
    You are probably also on their list of people that abuse the missing parts system. There is no way the retail sets would be missing those three animals.

    Yes, and it is good to allow 24 hours for all time zones to vote. I was not implying that all Americans should vote for Liberty, but it wouldn't surprise me if she is relatively more popular in the USA than she is in Europe or elsewhere just because of what she represents. I think she is a lovely minifigure, and minus the flame and especially the tablet, makes a great statue for historical MOCs. But when it is head-to-head, she lost out for me.
  19. MAB
    It is all down to timing. If the vote started just as America was coming online for the day, she would have built up a large lead and then lost it (if everyone still voted the same way).
  20. MAB
    Tough choice, I like them both. Hazmat edged it for me, as he can be used as a fleshie or yellow skin (or zombie).
  21. MAB
    Wow, couldn't be closer!
  22. MAB
    Seems there is an error in the display again. Currently 73 votes, but 35 to 37 showing. If you click on the 35, Liberty actually has 36. Refreshing doesn't help either.
  23. MAB
    She was always going to make a comeback when America logged on, and she was 3 or 4 in the lead an hour ago, and now the diver makes a comeback to tie. This is going to be close.

    Phoning doesn't get you access to parts that are out of stock online but does give access to stickers and capes and strings etc that dont appear on bnp. They pick from the same stock.

    Knight has come back from 29-21 to 29-25. This isn't over just yet, given about 70 people often vote.
