I am sure I have seen this somewhere before... In fact I have.

Got to get one when I make my Agents 2.0 order next month! It sounds the perfect size for a handbag/shoulderbag to hold my phone, diary, purse, MP3 player and other essentials. Plus I can give my sister bag envy and it will go with my retro spaceship Blue Banana shopping bag... (wow, for the first time in a while I sound like a girl online and I am talking about bags... )

lol, I am around for a week or so, if you see a crazy british girl in a bucket hat and with an Astro Boy bag, that's me!

Wha! I am a way a few hours... A little help?

Ack. Am in Kelowna now. 8 hours from London, 2 hours more to Kelowna. They left my bag in vancouver for hours, so that freaked me out, the time difference means I literaly crashed as soon as I got to where i am staying. My ears are bit of a mess. I am now feeling a bit off from sleep oddness and meal time problems. It's also too hot. Too, too hot. But other than that it's great.

New Puzzle there is part of it, any other ideas?

I would make a four wide car with a new element to allow double minifig seating without arm clashing. A more modern version of the element from the Adventurers car, maybe with doors and only three studs long, for the moulded seats and steering wheel space. The car would be a modern sports car in dark purple with some new townie type minifigs.

Mah, it was an ok episode. I liked the old cars. The purple one at the auction was a personal want. I'd say all sorts of about the glamour model, but I have been friends with such girls and it isn't entirely their fault. She more than likely knew what she was signing up for and it was entertaining. She seemed nice enough. Dinosaurs FTW.

Perfect Now I can fix it on my next BrickLink order Thanks.

I have decided to go for a "playmat" option. The features will be brick built off baseplates, with the smaller thin ones at the edge and wider ones for the buildings and to support the large parts of the volcano. The playmat will be a "picture" for the floor, printed roadways and clear concrete areas, volcanic rock and lava. The rivers of lava with bridges will be printed, the lake under the heli-pad will be built. Its an option I liked the look of and will allow for detail where I want it but without having to work out where to put baseplates, I am unsure of the sizes involved, so the empty spaces between the features might not be fillable by baseplates. If it is, then it will all be built, if it isn't i can still have details over thw bare wood of the tabletop.

How might I repair this: mine has no wheels... Where can I get spares if it is fixable?

The forum has adverts? *looks* Hmm, who knew? Evony is all over Tv Tropes, its rather funny. It's the internet, every click runs the risk of inappropriate adverts. Parents are supposed to supervise kids on the PC for a reason yah know...

Oh dear... The latest Faceook Post doesn't bode well.

Thats odd, the Dwarf fans in my office talk fondly of the actors being on Top Gear. And yes I know most of the featured stars, Patrick Stewart should be well known at least (Proffesor Xaivier in X-men? Captain Jean Luc Picard?). I thought only soap actors and musical artists with only a UK following would be the unknowns globaly. A lot of them have had internationaly recognised roles in films, TV and many other things. Isn't there some form of Australian Top Gear?

Um... Somewhere in the back of the interwebs in a possibly dead website is some fanfiction I wrote... (Also on my harddrive, but it ain't getting an airing). When I finished my GCSEs I had a lot of free time and nothing to do in it, being far from MsPopular (really far) I didn't have anyone to do anything with. So with my lego stuck in boxes in the loft ( before there was space) I took to reading and writing fanfiction and text-roleplaying on Neopets... I was part way through a poorly written "series" and had at least six short stories and twice the number of drabbles and poems (drabble=100 word fanfic) my short stories went down quite well on said forum, noticed by a very popular writer-of-fics who ran the forum and my drabbles/poems proclaimed cute and stuck true to the characters. I stopped when the website was attacked by scripter brats and taken down for a fix that never happened. That was around four years ago. I have sinced focused on my own original fiction with my own characters, one of which has been published in a small magazine. I like to think reading and writing both good and bad fanfiction helped me work on my prose and character development. Oh, and all the fanfiction/roleplaying was under a much older username I abandoned when I "outgrew" the person that I was at the time. .

A floor plan! Key: 1. Front Gate 2. Helipad that flips/opens for the death ray to fold out for use. 3. Jetty for boats/subs 4. Landing Strip 5. Secret Entrance that Leads to broom cupboard 6. Escape Pod Exit 7. Inferno’s command centre 8. WMD Launch Pad 9. Vehicle Service Bay 10. Balcony for Inferno 11. Mecha service bay, spins the mech to allow it to exit/enter. 12. Bar/Rec room for goons 13. Holding Cells 14. Meeting room for Henchmen/women. 15. Mecha Gate 16. Goon Barracks 17. Elevator for Command Centre 18. Medical Centre 19. Animal Cyberisation research 20. Impressive expanse for battle with Agents. This is what happens when I have to cover the phones at lunch time and ca't leave the office...

Odd one. Well, Lego hasn't announced that they are planning to stop re-sale of their products on eBay. Sorry for my late reply. What I mean by tagged as Lego-Compatible is just that, they don't call it Lego, they call 'em building bricks that can combine with major brands. I have seen Mega products called Lego, but you can see that they aren't the same, however these are private sellers who have no clue what their kids toys are. Business sellers don't call anything that isn't Lego, Lego. And DarthSion, "He" was me... I guess I don't rabidly keep up with eBay history, I just read about it in TIME, National Geographic or The Readers Digest a while back (I was still in school at the time. so at least three years ago) and didn't notice when this was revealed to be a marketing gimmick. Ho Hum. I still think it's the yuppie nuTech firms and computer hawkers who have rabid fanbois.

Looks slightly better than the pictures of the General Mills lego promotional stuff. Still cool, no Lego is useless. I might have a Happy Meal for the first time since they last had Lego! (Or was it Hotwheels cars?).

Yes. If you look, their feet are seperate, by quite a gap, from the stand. This is likely due to the stand being a prototype and therefore the studs are not perfect for the legs to stick too. If they were all one part, the legs would be moulded as part of the stand. Even then, if they were one part, it would be easy to take the legs-stands and switch them for other green minifig legs. I doubt they'd be glued, but if they are, a simple solvent dripped through the stud holes would get rid of the glue.

I don't think the Green Army Men are edging closer to a war theme, the are designed after the classic toys that kids get, hence why they were in Toy Story as scouts at parties. The only time they were portrayed as an army was when Andy (the toys owner, to anyone who doesn't know/remember) had them all set up as the army of an evil pig in a bowler hat.... Very "fantastic". That said, kids will make armies if they want to, everyone talks about army building in castle, pirates and any other theme in which there is some sort of uniform and a generic face for the figures. I don't think this means Lego will make war sets or huge, realsitic armies complete with equipment and heavy armament. I think you'll have to wait another generation for Lego to make actual military themes because moral guardians will still have a fit if such a well loved toy gets war, in a most direct way as kahki and tanks. Look, Lego is giving you helmets and even more uniforms, just buy a bunch, those guys scream battle pack sized set (I somehow doubt we'll be having a giant chunk of plant pot or a life size walkie talkie) then you can build a "real" army! Brickarms and Best-Lock have enough other coloured helmets to equip a rival faction, Indiana Jones Lego has provided two different uniforms. If you can't build your own tanks I bet Larry (the expert on non-Lego) can link you somewhere with scans of Best-Lock instructions and you can toddle off to bricklink or a PaB wall and get lots of bricks in the right colours. I still don't get why people want to have humans vs humans when it's a lot more interesting if robots/aliens/zombies/monsters are the "enemy".

Mobile Command Center. With the Volcano close second. It is a giant lorry that articulates, it has a plane in it! It has fold out compartments stuffed full of small vehicles, it opens up to reveal loads of storage space, screens and a projector! It has a fold open roof on the cab! It is awesome. The volcano is just so open to expansion that it trumps all sets but the command center, I have had so many ideas that it is now a project!

People still use Yahoo?! Anywhom, I don't remember Lego being plain basic bricks, there were buildable figures in even the most blocky of sets. New parts engender the same creativity, with less long faces at the "spaceship" that looks less swooshy than the ones on TV (arguably, Lego hasn't been just bricks since the late 70s/early 80s!) I still appreciate plain bricks, my massive multicoloured ships were all brick built, my pyramids and castles were all brick built. I am planning a brick built MOC with few moulded parts on the structure. But hey, the older generation always moans about things the younger has. In TRU my father complined about the creator boxes of slopes for rooves, for when he was young lego houses had each individual tile carefully put in place...

I think they have had the Red Dwarf guys on before. Stardust was the last film she was in, plus I think that is her natural shape (*hate*) my friend is very similar (girl could eat chocolate like it was the day before a nation wide ban...) anywhom: I suppose Top Gear is just exported, not really made for a global audience, so the stars are well known to the british.

Ah, I am stuck in a conundrum. Although I am not a fan of violence or army, I have to admit that fantasy conflict interests and engages me. I am against making really warlike sets but then as a bit of a history buff, I want to make viginettes of famous photos/images from the wars. I am torn, a nuetral pacifist (as much as I can be without betraying my core value of defending myself and those weaker than myself on a one to one basis) by association (although I am very opinionated, I don't want to force them on others, hence the nuetral part) I also adore camoflage, kahki and military surplus gear.... (I AM CONFLICTED ) I think the Army Men will be a welcome addition for many and they can stop complaining and use Indy, Toy Story and a mixture of other themes to fulfill their warmongering needs. In the end it is all TLG's choice on how things will play out and be presented.

Ok, so now I need LGMs, Army Men and all the Prince of Persia lego. So my bank balance won't mind so much if Agents 2.0 is the last of that theme (please no, but I won't be stuck for sets)...
