not much more to say then how funny that is!

...wow, almost cried. I hope nothing like that ever happens again.

I hate it when people refer to grievious as a coward. They have obviously never read his back-story. If anything, he was quite bold, and he was often the first on the battlefield. He was a true general. What about the fact that he "abandoned ship"? Think about it for a minute... Stay aboard crashing ship and die or be captured, or, escape, and trap your enemies with no escape, leaving them to (almost) certain doom? ...ahem, back to topic.... Even though its a fragile set, Its one of those that is definitely a real work of art, and is one that more caters to AFOLs. I hope to own it soon.

Here's what Im thinking for gemstones: 1-assign each of the colored gems to 1 of 3 "rarity/value" ratings. a,b, or c. Gems of an A value, will equal 250 coins. Gems of B quality will be worth 200 and c quality will be worth 100 2-crystals(5 pointed) shall be counted as if they were 2 of the same colored gem. so, 1 red crystal, would be the same as 2 red gems. the crystals you must realize are basically large chunks of "unrefined" ore, and once "cut" would equal approximately the same mass as 2 of the gem pieces... 2b-gold or silver crystals shall be counted as large chunks of gold/silver ore. for gold(gold plated/shiny, or the gold colored) they would be 500, silver will be 200. Gold bricks(like found in a few of the special anniversary sets) 2x4 brick equals the mass of 48 coins. assume each was the "40" coin, and it would be worth 1920 coins. 2x2 brick are half that, at 960coins.

I like that! I'm gonna incorporate that into my Lego nation...

Welcome to EB! Could you send me a link to any of your videos? I'd be glad to check them out. ...oh, and if you have any questions, of course feel free to ask! (best way to learn).

The nun-chucks, they be yellow hose cut down, and wire inserted?

Are the two black things suppose to be giant mutant bats???

Woah! Is that a little water leaking? that one discolored tile really adds to the effect!

lol, yes the banner. I was making a joke really. Mayhaps I confused more people, and they didnt get it. I just thought it was a funny observation.

So I was looking at Commodore Hornbricker's gold horde on MOC pages, and I began wondering how MY treasure pile compaired to his... so, I was wondering how much value to assign to each of my treasure pieces. I dont have nearly the same in gold, but I have huge piles of gems. I also have misc gold plated pieces and such. If there already IS an established value system, could someone point it out, or, if not, then I propose we start working on a master treasure list, and the values of each type. ... once this is established, we can truly see who has how much (plastic)wealth! So, to start with, how many units would 1 jewel be worth, and, are all the jewels gonna get the same value, or are different ones worth different values? I'll start a full treasure list tomorrow, and start updating this. Everyone start posting treasures you can think of, and about how many lego "coins" they are worth! (note, the "actual" coins are each worth more then 1 "coin") ========================================== Treasure/Loot Value - currency, "coin" for now Gold coin 10 = 10 coins Gold coin 20 = 20 Gold coin 30 = 30 Gold coin 40 = 40 coin "center holder thingy"-treat like gold bar, 50 coins? Dollar brick = 100 Gem A = 250 Gem B = 200 Gem C = 100 Crystal(5 point)-colored are treated as 2 of same colored gemstone Gold=500 Silver=200 2x4 gold brick = 1920 2x2 = 960 Goblets/tall fancy cups = 20 for gold, 10 for silver, 5 for "crystal"/trans-colored(all) Gold (dinner) plate = 100 Silver plate = 50 Sundisk(adventurers) = 250 Idol(Indiana Jones) = 250? Golden Shield = 500 Golden Helmet = 250 Golden Sword = 170 Crown = 200 PoP Dagger = 500? Trophy cup = 200? C-3PO golden promo = 10,000? :P Ark of the Covenant=Hey! you cant put a price on a Holy vessel. You get an invincible army instead. Gem Table: A: B: C: ....This is a WIP for now, and I'd like the communities input on this. post ideas/comments below.

..so, I never saw the first one, but is this one of those redcoat vs bluecoat events? Im new to the contests. Blue is kinda my color scheme, so I'd be on that side.

I liked the second one, though I agree, spider is an odd name for a ship...

arrg! Neat prizes!

-I still have mine! That was soooo long ago when I got it! It was one of my early sets, before i inherited my brothers.

check in watto's junkyard, there be a starwars Vig/MOC contest just starting.

Ahhhhh! one of my favorite starwars scenes! ...though, I hate the fact that Qui-Gon dies! eh, you're gonna be a challenge for me to beat! good job!

...So this means no CLONE wars???? lol, I'm a little new to this, still learning some of the terms, but if im right, this mean no Meg@#l*X?!!! ...aka Lego brand only? (Im fine with that!) oh, and, -May the Force build with you!

Oooooookey.... a palm on a landspeeder? I have to say that bit was kinda odd....(as in, very..unusual) overall, I like the colors and design. my first thought was like.." so, an eco friendly starwars???"

lol.

This was a tough decision, but my votes end up going to: (1 point each) 7) Zombie Entry (Build by Delatron) 33) Tribal Hunter Entry (Build by Legononymous) -I loved how the scorpions were used) 30) Ninja Entry (Build by riversarl) This was fun! I think you all did awesome!

Now that I have access to a good digital camera, more time available, and more money (yay I have a job). I'd like to join the reviewers as well! I hope I can be a usefull member here.

well, I barely made it! but now Im officially in! check out the moc-pages link for more pics, because my brickshelf isnt public yet. (Im excited 'cause this is my first contest here!)

I just noticed this in your signature, and clicked on it to see more. I originally thought it was some kind of odd tank.... I also like airships, and love finding good ones made from lego.

I never thought I'd see toilets as something to discuss on EB.... ...my dad will find this interesting...
