Tesni picked up another flagon of ale, one consolation after not getting into a quest.

Canonball run! IN LEGO FORM! Well, I hope -yes I built that a long while ago!

Tesni woke from her doze in one of her favoured spots and looked to the quest board. She signed up under 131 and 132, either would be a little more gold and a little more progress. Her trip back to the mountains had given her some plans and it would do to be well equipped mentally and physically before having try at it.

Guys, future set discussion and film discussion goes elsewhere. Thanks!

We don't need Johnny back full time, but more adventure would be excellent!

You know, more people would see these if you posted them in a MOC/Vignette post in Special Themes (Or licensed for Harry Potter)

I have been to three different LEGOLands and each have their pros and cons. Windsor was my first one and the one I visited most. The miniland is good but suffers from disrepair, but there are some fun little things to spot hidden around the place and slightly more variety in locations depicted. Rides and attractions are for children, they are fun but if you want a ride experience then visit Alton Towers or Thorpe Park. The park is a nice day out for a family and a diversion at best for an AFOL unless you go as a group.

Yes! Rounded or round containers are the way forward! I am starting the epic sort (take 2) very soon. My plan will be to get rounded storage for the parts once I know what volumes I am working with.

Having sued Tyco over the high quality stud&tube bricks being produced in the 80s, LEGO had to admit the original concept had been taken from a UK toymaker. Kiddicraft created bricks to imperial measurements in plastic moulding machines, the company was a very early into making plastic toys. LEGO came across a sample of these bricks and developed a copy in metric. Then after the debacle in the 80s LEGO paid a token sum for the rights to produce the bricks but it lapsed and it was ruled by pretty much all the major courts that the stud&tube was a functional/standard design and not patentable. Minifigures, being wholly developed by TLG means they hold all the rights and can stop anyone making them exactly the same.

Ag, I have a few quests to go on to get character #2. Though I shall enjoy pounding a lot of upgrades into the Qilin blade and then mythrilizing it. Devastating attack wherever the enemy stands!

Oh gods, it was too. I Feel SO OLD.

Built the ship today, some great building techniques included. It is a very well designed set.

Tesni returned to the hall and took a seat. It was time to do some figuring before an equipment upgrade.

I will have to get a photo of them, I have some from the past few years.

So you post into a four year old thread to complain, which is topic bumping, then you reveal you are three years underage for the site. This is a public warning, the moderators are watching.

Y'all got some form of clone there. Couldn't say exactly what "brand", not like any I've seen before. You can tell from the dimpling on the sdes that they aren't some very vintage LEGO. They'd make nice beads though.

"Hello Pig. I would like to have a Mythril."

If the forum was on autopilot then the banner would have changed bang on the dot of the midnight between January/March Thoughtful and considered banners; lovingly crafted for the enjoyment of all, take a lot of time. As does re-skinning the forum to match

Memorable Joker story it may be, but to harken back to one of the worst Woman as a Plot Device not a Character (Women in Refrigerators) stories on the cover of a comic with a strong and tonally more cheerful Batgirl leaves a bad taste in my brain. Let's take this character that is actually quite readable, truss her up as a victim and make everyone think of a story that was violent and stood out as such in the 80s (Decade of the Dark Age of comics). Great idea guys! In my opinion, the Joker story that is the most memorable and hits all the right notes on his character was Emperor Joker. He was indeed violent and terrible, there were some terrifying implications in the shadows but at the same time he was the Clown Emperor of Crime and what a clown he was. It encompassed everything the Joker should be and everything that the Nolan interpretation seemed to miss. If you've not read the book then try and find it! Hunt out the back-issues or torrent the scans, it is a must read for Joker and Batman fans. (Also Superman, but hey, we're talking about the Joker in this post).

Is it the special hat? That is a brilliant MOC right there!

Present the MOC as you would any other, with pictures and a write-up and what have you. Then have a one line mention that it is on Ideas with a link. The thread title shouldn't be anything about LEGO Ideas, it is simply the MOC. That is how to advertise a LEGO ideas project.

"So long as I can grab some mythril on the way out!"

"Yuck, my head feels all stuffy. Bloomin' sandman."

I just altered the name of the topic so more people know what help is needed.

It looks dreadful. But that is opinion isn't it? Alan Moore wrote The Killing Joke in the 80s, just about anything you could imply probably was intended to have happened. It is Alan Moore, subtle but also subtle like a hammer. I started this thread to talk about comics and I guess that is what we're talking about right? But it is things like this cover and the last few years of editorial ideas and decisions that have turned me right off DC comics. I stick to my old TPBs and trying to collect the older books I want these days. Heck, I'm not sure if I am jaded or have simply matured as a reader, but some of the books I loved as a teenager just seem a poor showing now. Ho hum.
