Hey Hobbes. Good to hear from you. I know I can always count on you for honest feedback, so thanks. I do have to point out that you seem to be holding the skin up to superficial standards. I'm not BrickMiner and I'm not trying to stick to one decade or the other. I'm sure I'll be changing this banner in time and do hope to work a bit with the colors and perspective. I hope you enjoy the next one.

What rumor? No Saturday event at Woodfield or Sunday at Chicago? It's true. That's not a rumor.

Hmmm...that offers no consolation, but thank you anyway.

This is so smart and cool! I would never even think of creating something like this, but I see them all the time on Chicago streets. Great work. I really like all of your stuff, it has a unique Eilif signature to it. This is so great, even if it is 4-wide.

Don't be. I was just giving you a hard time for my own amusement. Hope you had fun too.

Better now, right? What does it matter why? This happens to sites sometimes on the internet. It's not uncommon. There might not be an explanation every time. Then again, in this case, our provider said their hardware had a short circuit. But I'm relying on a Dutch translation of the original German, so who knows?

Next time he posts, he'll be able to accept messages. It's a new tactic on part of the staff to fight an influx of recent spammers...

I'll close this before KimT sees it and yells at you.

Did you just copy and paste my post??

Sorry, contests on Eurobricks can only be run through the staff. You can post your ideas here.

I do believe what they said to you and I don't find it surprising at all. I'm a little surprised you compared them to GM as the two companies don't seem to bear any connection the way you've implied in your response. I have to agree with a couple of the others that your response made me cringe a bit. You're reading a "tone" that doesn't appear in the written word. They didn't owe you a response, necessarily and although it seems pieced together from auto-responders, someone made sure that you got a thorough and polite explanation of the company's policy. I think sometimes people get up on their soap box when they're behind their computer keyboard and don't use common respect the way they would if they were speaking face to face with someone. That being said, your reaction seems to be a bit knee-jerk and disproportionate. I think the best way to get your ideas put into practice is to build what you want to see, post your creations in the community and maybe, someday, they'll ask you to create a Factory set. But, if you continue to attack them in the mean time, they may be less likely to involve you in such a project. So while your reaction to this situation will certainly get some people's attention, having a positive attitude over a longer period of time builds better positive relationships and will get you closer to your goals. So, try to keep things in perspective when something like this happens.

Oh good. You stopped by and didn't yell at me.

And it seems they have a lot of pieces in many colors, perhaps not ordering up any in any but everything that you could think of you can find... (in the miniland models, of course. I'm just inferring...) And if they aren't allowed to do it anymore, then I bet they have a lot of stock left over from when they could. We should PM about this perhaps...

I believe so. Here is the original source.

Via Brothers Brick: A grey R2?

Via Brothers Brick: Discuss here

Nobody should ever watch that movie for any reason.

Nincompoops, you can't vote in the discussion thread. You JlBlue! Where are the rules and roles??

I'll concede that they don't have that in California as long as you can concede that they might have it in the model shop in Billund...

It might be nice to spell "crucifixion" correctly...

I hate to break it to you, but you're very very wrong about that.

I imagine he has access to someone who works in one of the Model Builder's shops. They have access to virtually all pieces in all colors...

Aw, thanks everybody. What a freaky prize! Great job every staff member in the contest! What a fun contest. Thanks KimT for running it.

I'm a woman! ...with no boobs and a beer gut.

They're just old MOCs of mine: I've dismantled them since this banner was made. The pieces were needed to make my table-town modular...
