Depends on the store, mine still has them, but they are also still full price.

I've let you both in. Be sure to read the pinned threads before getting started.

Alright kids, here it is. I haven't done any editing since I thought most of them came out ok, but I do still have the EXIF files, and if I get ambitious one day, I might clean them all up, but I still have a few hundred more from the rest of the show. Link to my gallery I did upload the originals, so lets see if the Pro account on Flickr really is unlimited. A few to tie you over.

As you keep reporting this, just to be sure, are you checking other websites when EB is unavailable? If not it may just be your connection. Just making sure to cover all angles.

Please don't bump a 2 month old thread to go off topic. As much as I didn't like this topic before, since it is not EB who's doing the blocking, I definitely don't want this going off topic. McDonalds like all other business' that offer free Wi-Fi are privately owned, as much as they advertise their Wi-Fi is free to the public, that's all it is, FREE, NOT PUBLIC. McDonalds is the one paying for that Wi-Fi service and they can block any website or category they want, for any reason, or even no reason at all. It's their right as the private owner. Now as much as I wish that categories like chat or forums, were not blocked, the reality is they are, and the only recourse we have is to politely ask the store manager if it could be unblocked, if they say no, then it's probably best left alone.

Pushes things down from high up - LOL, I'm guessing CorneleusMurdock, since he was just in my profile. From Brickworld, since a handful of you got to meet me and found out I really am Big (tall). I also think I said that was a skill of mine, while some drinking was going on.

Yes, Foog is correct and the thread he pointed out is only 4 topics below this one. Be sure to search for your answer in the future. I'll merge this thread with the existing one.

Ok, ok, I'll see what I can do. I big congratulations again. I'm glad I was able to help, even if it was in a small way. I'll start uploading pictures now and get something posted.

I have seen these in person and I can confirm the quality is just what you'd expect from BrickArms. They look fantastic and the details are something the original LEGO pieces desperately needed. Great work as always BrickArms!

Please don't clutter the thread with unrelated comments.

Please refrain from one word posts that don't add to the conversation. Thank You.

I just made my single largest LEGO purchase ever, thanks to the Brickworld discount. 10225 UCS R2-D2 9469 Gandalf arrives 9494 Anakins Jedi Starfighter 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube 6866 Wolverine's Chopper 6865 Captain America's 6862 Superman vs. Power Armor I saved over $90. I'm super stoked. This is the combined purchase of myself with a measly 7 sets, and QuarryMan and CopMike ' purchases. My car started to get full.

I'm rotting away at work, boo. I'll be leaving at 4am Chicago time Thursday morning for my 10 hour drive.

Not right now.

I am closing this for the time being.

Simple answer. Profiling. TLG knows that kids will associate an eye patch with pirates. Also it's usually not carelessness, but battle wounds proving how tough and experienced the Captain is.

I'm getting excited to meet everyone!

I love the design, all four of them being the same but different colors really gives it that San Francisco feel. I like the Minifigure who is not too thrilled about the Friends moving in.

Indeed Double Indeed

Clonie O!!!! What a fantastic review. I just don't have the funds to get into all these new themes, but I love reading a good review on a set I can't buy. The comparisons are my favorite part. Great job, and what a cool set!

Per our PM conversation I'll move this for you.

Olivia's Speedboat, is one of the entry level Friends sets that comes with one figure and a few fun accessories for her to use. BASIC INFORMATION: Set Name: Olivia's Speedboat Set Number: 3937 Number of Pieces: 65 + 4 extras Minifigs: 1 Price: $9.99 USD Theme: Friends Year Released: 2012 RESOURCES: (high res pics available here, also by clicking the images in the review) THE REVIEW: The Box Front: Here we have all the girls in their standard pose in the top right corner. I love how they have everything in the set situated on the box. It really ties together the set and puts it in the element of being on the beach. Back: Classic LEGO shows each element of the set in use. So there is no question what is what. Something I found interesting that I don't recall seeing on non-Friends LEGO sets is instructions on how to put the minifigure together on the back of the box. Side: Very simple and plain which is nice to see, it's the set number, the theme and the 1:1 scale of your minifigure. Other Side: This side of the box is where the safety information is housed, along with the bar code and item number, which is different from a set number. The Instructions Front: Deja Vu, is almost always the case with LEGO instructions, that is they are usually the same as the front of the box. No exception here and I do still like how they laid out the set. Back: So you can still win LEGO but the little boy that we have all grown to love hate is gone and replaced with two girls playing with LEGO. Fitting sine this is geared towards girls. Random Page: I choose this page because it shows LEGO's idea of the layout of the Friends town, Heartlake City. I recommend clicking the image for the full res version. The Parts The Bags: Now I haven't done a review in a while but I do recall LEGO moving to the numbered bag system. I'm not sure if it is because the set is so small or because this particular set originated from Denmark as opposed to being purchased in the USA. Either way with a set this small, they aren't really needed. All Parts: I'm really starting to like the friends sets due to the colors in the sets. I did find it interesting that Olivia's torso and legs came in separate bags. Like a lot of the Friends sets this one comes with that cute little red bucket. I suddenly want to start collecting buckets. Spare Parts: For spare parts we get an extra bucket handle, but no extra bucket. A red stud, a light blue clear stud and a pink flower stud. MiniFigures Olivia Front: Olivia is pictured here in her standard pink dress/yellow tank top with hearts outfit. Like all Friends minifigures her legs bend forward but not independently of each other. Olivia Back: There was no back printing, but you do get a great view of that wonderful hairpiece. Olivia's Hair Piece: Speaking of which, here it is off of her just so you can see it in all its glory. It has holes in the sides and the top so you can presumably add a tiara or similar hair accessories, which ironically I don't have any . The Build The Sand Castle: With such a tiny build, build pictures usually aren't warranted but I wanted to show how the water feature is set up in this tiny sand castle. You can see now that the two blue tile pieces we just laid down are now covered up. The castle is complete with this step but I have one more picture to show. Here is a top view of the castle, and now you can see that the water is still visible and Olivia has created almost a moat inside her castle. Now who didn't do something like this at the beach as a kid?! The Beach Towel: Another almost micro build that doesn't really need a build picture but I figured it's easier to see how many studs long everything is, when you can see the studs. I love the colors used for this beach towel and of course the 2x1 purple cheese slopes. Looks like a comfy plastic place to take a nap. The Speedboat: Every girl needs their own personal speedboat, so let's get to building one. It starts with a hull piece we've seen before but now we get it in this fun yellowish orange color. The build continues with a top hull piece, some pink tiles for Olivia to sit on and some pink panels with the central divider, exclusive to the Friends line. Capsizing the boat we find some clear 2x2 boat stud plates, which is always nice when your boat needs to glide along the carpet. The final boat complete with pink flag and a printed life preserver on a 22 rounded tile. The rear view showing the two divider tile pieces which would not allow for two friends to sit next to each other, which they couldn't even if they wanted to since their arms extend out too far. This final side shot shows how the dividers holds Olivia's legs in place since there are no stud openings on the bottom of Friend's legs to hold them to their beloved LEGO creations. Complete Set: The completed set showing all the elements together, Olivia on her beach towel, he sand castle and speedboat in the background. Totals: Design: 9/10 The friends line is fairly new to me, but I like where they are going. The sets make sense, they are easily altered like regular LEGO sets and it gives the user something to do once the set is built. As much as LEGO is about imagination, I appreciate a well designed set. Parts: 10/10 For me the parts are great, simply because I don't have any of these fun new colors except for this set. The redesigned mini bucket is great. I think even LEGO fans who are not thrilled about the Friends sets, will still find the parts interesting. Build: 6/10 Very easy and almost boring. For a first timer, it's great but I hoped for a more intricate build. Minifigs: 8/10 I think you either like the new Friends figs, or you don't. I for one do like them. They are not as rash as the previous off minifigure venture Jack Stone which was just too big. The Friends figs are very comparable in size with our beloved minifigure and accessories work cross platform. Playability: 8/10 I think this set as mentioned in the design area is well designed. I can see this set being played with by itself or in conjunction with other Friends or even regular LEGO sets. Price: 8/10 I wish you got more Friends figures for your $9.99 but besides that it's about what we've come to expect parts per dollar, at least in the US. Total: 49/60 Not my highest rating ever, but not bad either. I'm no hardcore Friends fan, but I appreciate the theme and may just may get more sets in the future. This is a great entry level set to the theme that comes with one figure who has a very pretty name (hint hint). The parts are good, the figure is good. I would have to say if you are into the Friends theme, or even just like the parts, this is a BUY set.

Regardless of what he does or doesn't believe, this topic is for discussion about possible new licensed sets, not about an actor's or character's sexual orientation, lets try to keep it LEGO related since we are on a LEGO forum. Thank You

It's not a perfect test and I found myself struggling to find an answer I liked on some of them, but very entertaining.
