Meh.. Brickset did better last year.

In Series 11, I am interested in the Lady Robot, Constable, Jazz Musician, and possibly the Dinner Waitress

I wish they had used the tree with the snow on the top half instead of the regular trees: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3471pb01

1) Lions 2) Tigers 3) sheep 4) deer family 5) elk family 1 & 2 for my circus, 3-5 for my farm/ranch

Thanks for the review. It looks like a great set. I hope the animals become available through LUGBULK. Weathervane is usually spelled as one word - though your functional description of "wind compass" is quite accurate.

Actually, the preliminary number of paid visitors on Sunday's Public Exhibit Day was 3723.

Hey, Kevin.... Send your unwanted rayguns my way, OK?? :-)

I'll be getting multiples of all of these... and I hope the chickens and goats are available in next year's Pick-A-Brick or Factory selections. I'll use them in the farm on the BAYLUG/BAYLTC layout. Keep up the good work, designers!!

Did you create this in LDraw/MLCad as well as in real bricks? If you did, I would buy the file to study so I can create one It's fantastic.

We've got a new venue with more than double the spaceof last year's show. To exhibit, you must register for the full convention - the reg system is now open at www. bricksbythebay .com /wordpress/convention/registration Hope to see you there! Paul

Bricks by the Bay 2011 For Immediate Release January 12, 2011 Contact: Paul Sinasohn Program Chair singlow @ gmail .com Bricks by the Bay Call For Presentations Bricks By The Bay 2011 is looking for any talks, roundtables, and special activities you would like to see at the Con this year. Going to and putting on sessions are one of the things that makes a Lego convention fun. Past talks have included publishing LEGO-related books, Using RCX bricks to control motorized models, using LEGO Mindstorms in the classroom, among many others. Roundtables, or moderated discussions, have included Planning for the NMRA convention, discussions about publishing BrickJournal, and creating LEGO sculptures. Possible ideas include: • Steampunk LEGO Creations • An Introduction to LDraw and related programs • An Introduction to Lego Digital Designer • Packing models for shipping without breaking • De-yellowing Bricks • Lego Plans on eReaders and the iPad • LEGO at Burning Man • Building Big – skyscrapers and other large buildings • Bricklink — An Average Seller’s Perspective • FIRST LEGO League • Collecting Rare Elements • LEGO Pirates Roundtable • Steam Locomotive Design Techniques • SNOT techniques • Half-Plate offsets • LEGO Universe Roundtable • Brickwiki – what is it and how you can participate • NMRA / NTS 2011 Roundtable • Microscale building • Sorting & Storing Roundtable All we need for more talks, roundtables, and activities are ideas and people to run with them. Projectors and a computer will be available (although bringing your own laptop ensures compatibility). Anyone who would like to run a presentation or activity should e-mail proposals or questions to Paul Sinasohn (singlow AT gmail DOT com---please mention Bricks By The Bay in the subject). If possible, please include a possible title, brief description for the event program, and any time constraints or facility requirements. Events are typically scheduled to run up to sixty minutes but can be scheduled for more or less time. I need proposals by February 6 to have time to prepare the schedule and the program. Earlier is better. All presenters must register for the full convention. Bricks by the Bay is an annual Lego hobbyist convention and exposition in the Dan Francisco Bay Area.

I would get at least 10 of the Bobby helmet and 10 of the Irish bowler!! Probably even more!

Hi.... I'm looking for a decal of a Tower Warder (Yeoman of the Guard) from the Tower of London for a project related to GIlbert & Sullivan in LEGO. The best example I've found is here: http://www.oldukphotos.com/graphics/England%20Photos/London,%20Yeoman%20of%20the%20Guard.jpg This guy has sergeant's stripes on his arm, which I need, but I also need one without those stripes. The torso decal would be form the belt up. I plan on using plain red legs for the minifig, but if someone has an interest in doing the panniers below the belt, I would put them on the legs. Thanks, and if compensation is required, I could figure something out. Paul Sinasohn BAYLUG singlow at gmail dot com

- Part name: Straw Boater hat - Part description: This hat is exactly one-half as tall as the standard minifig top hat, and exactly the same in all other dimensions. It should be produced in tan, dark tan, and white. - Part usage: fits in perfectly with 1920s-era sets, including some Indiana Jones. Also good for barbershop quartets and Imperial able-bodied seamen from Jack Sparrow / Pirates

Hi. I'm Paul Sinasohn, from BAYLUG / BAYLTC from the San Francisco Bay Area. I like trains, though I don't have the largest train collection in our club. I like constructing and running unusual trains, especially those not seen in the USA. I have a European cargo sprinter and 2 Euro style engines, and plan to add more. I also plan to build a few of the very early English train prototype / experimental engines from the 1700s. I build in 6-wide, except for my Galloping Goose, which is 12-wide (14 with cow-catcher). Play Well! Paul

I will probably buy two - one to build and one for parts. I think it's awesome. Now if only they would offer a Golden Gate Bridge set in dark orange.... Paul Sinasohn BAYLUG / BAYLTC

On eBay about 10-12 years ago, I got a whole bag of swirly bricks (the ones that come out when they are changing colors) $20
