Am I not good enough for you or something?????? (and, strategically speaking, shouldn't you go after me? if im a threat?) ....well, thats redcoat thinking for ya....crazy.

@Redwater It takes time to put together a comic, especially when your competing in several lego MOC competitions, and need to build each one . Dont worry, Im working on my entry, and will have it up soon!!!! You redcoats shall pay! @Lord Arjay ...lol, that was funny. @the rest of you worthless redcoats: Lets just say Im not going to kill you (well, not ALL of you) that would be toooo nice. :pir-skull: I have better plans.... Much better. -
This is gonna turn into a contest of who has the best "I am your father" scenes. While it is of course epic, im hoping to see a lot of variety here with the entries.

Wow, poor Jeb. there are only what, 2000 active EB members...lol. soon these stickers will become a collectors item! If the requests keep piling up, and you cant do them all, but want to continue doing them, but just a few here and there- then my idea is you 'donate' your stickers as prizes for contests. and, you let the people who run the contests know you'll do a sigfig for the winner. Or, create your own contest. This way, you dont have to offend anyone if it gets to be toooo many requests. I can see how they are starting to pile up!

Ahhhhhh! I forgot them... and I think I have the piece to do armstrong, and winry is a good idea. This version of ed has his gloves "on". later, I'll get the robot arm to use for his auto-mail one. I'll do more FMA themed stuff after I finish some contest entries of mine. ...oh, and Roy is "me" "cos-playing" as Roy.

I have requested to buy a few pieces, and they will do this occasionally if: a-the piece is not liscensed-starwars,hp,indy etc. b-they have sufficient quantities to cover the free replacements. I say save this for only of you absolutely need it though, and dont abuse it. And dont lie to get free either. They charge very minimal for their pieces when doing the replacement parts, and cheap shipping. The only set I have ever had any missing pieces from was the UCS Death Star. 3 or 4 small grey bricks.

Ahhhhh! Im set 5870 Belville Pretty Playland. Not gonna bother to link a pic of that.

I have stranger hobby's then collecting/building lego. (LARPing, Bookbinding, alchemy,D&D etc.) So, its hard to get stared at for something your friends are relieved your doing, rather then actually hand-making and writing in Draconic your own spell-book.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! MYYYYY EYYYYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! ..... SO MANY EVIL VILE NON-LEGOs!!!!! MUST ... RUN!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! (insert incoherent swearing and anguish) HOW COULD THEY DO THIS HERE!!!! ..... ahem, Im a Lego purist. sorry.

How is having a realistically sized army ridiculous??? (If I had the money, I would have 10 of those droid troopships, (mtt?) and 20 of the droid tanks (the cooler ep 1 version) I bought another cannon battle pack today. TRU was out of the minifigs by the time I got there, so I just got another cannon/soldier for my army....er cannon and cannon fodder. (stupid redcoat!)

My first title, Soft Bluecoat. It has something to do with me getting called a softy during the current ToRII. Im actually surprised I didnt get one about my facial hair.... (They will change this title once MY entry comes out I assure you.)
-
I would say, switch the archers to the towers, and put the knights in the doors that are lower down. It would be realistically better for its defense. Even a short ladder can get at the low balcony, and a knight would be better there, while the archers have a better firing arc available up high on the towers. Very cool hideout for a villain!
-
Now that was truly epic. It was one of the things good 'ol George did right.(the cast didnt know about it till the last day of filming, he had a dummy script with some boring alternate text used until then.)
-
I'd say trim the sticker of the one guy a little better, and also, put stickers with the right color torso to match. The mostly white sticker, on a white torso passes. But a white sticker on black looks bad. good job with them otherwise.
-
Now this is what I mean here. Yes, those inferior "Me@*b#<* are not allowed in my house either! :D

@funkybrick I suppose you have some good points there, and i cant really argue with you, but I suppose here are my reasons: 1-"Why would we need to establish an absolute rating for some Lego parts' 'value in the Lego world'?" a: The idea here was to come up with some kind of way to measure all of your lego treasure in terms of the lego "gold coin" standard. Why the coin? It was the first real treasure piece, and both me and my friends would compare our hordes this way. For some of you, this may seem un-aplicable, or even silly/stupid. After all, it is one of those ways to show off that I have more, more weath,power, might etc. ...like Joey thinks having more hair makes him a better pirate, lol. I suppose the is no need on one hand, but there is on the other. If we all dont use that same standard, its hard to compare unlike terms.... This is basically trying to make it so we all use X to measure with, instead of me using X, you using Z, and someone else using A. (to put this in mathematical terms.) 2- "What could you gain from making others use the same rating system as you"... "except for showing off with something *err* actually un-show-off-able?" Thats exactly the point of this. to say Look at my ridiculous collection of molded plastic! ...er, isnt that what we all do here with lego? (In one way or another.) For example, everyone thinks that the white mandalorian figure is the hot starwars mini-fig to die for. Of course, we humans have decided that since he is in a different color then his other popular counterpart, and also in more "limited" supply, he must of course be worth more. Even though, (in my opinion) he looks really odd, and not really playable/fits in with the other lego people... In truth, both our hero (villian?) Boba Fett, Jango, and that white oddball, are all molded to the same shape, but they just use a different dye in the plastic... the PLASTIC. If you were to look at this from the point of veiw of someone who is not a Lego fan, they would say we are All nuts, a bunch of grown adults wasting away our paychecks on worthless plastic! (here I would also say THEY are crazy, I mean is lego the greatest thing since.....) A- For those who want to - this would provide a fair system to compare unlike quantities, by giving us a conversion standard. 2.2- 'Damn, I suck, I should clearly buy more sets with yellow gems in it.'"? - at this point, I believe using a simpler system, of just using 2 or 3 "values" and assigning all the gems to either common, or rare. more based on real life value, but with uber rare colors in lego terms in mind. or, just make all gems type pieces have the same value. but a value comparable to the lego coin. 3-I would understand the topic better if we were asked to explain how we have always handled it and to exchange some Lego-ish experience or whatever. Yet the topic starter doesn't want us to tell him our systems just for giggles, he wants us to tell him how to frame his system... a- yes, feel free to share how you do it, and your opinions on value and such, and your experience in this subject b- yes, i want everyone else to help determine this, so that its a fair system, agreed on by at least a few people, with various opinions/viewpoints, rather then me just make a system and "make" everyone use it. This way, I'm not unfairly "adjusting" values to make my collection seem worth more, and people cant accuse me of doing this. ------------------------------------------------------------ thanks funkybrick for bringing this up, and these were some fair points to consider. I hope Im not offending anyone by this (topic) , and if it doest interest you, or you think its ridiculous/stupid, thats your opinion, and you dont have to be part of it. Yes, this is silly. Im trying to create a set standard to measure "unmeasurable", and somewhat hard to classify pieces. This is a "mine is bigger/better" kind of thing, I will admit, but meant in a fun way. Ultimately, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." If you would like to help with, or use this chart, then feel free. If not, thats ok. As long as we can all be friends, and play with worthless pieces of plastic together, thats all that really matters here. PS, feel free to share any systems you use, opinions etc, sorry if that wasnt clear on that, but that is part of the topic.... how much you have, is for another topic.
