  1. I hardly found a high resolution Poster myself since Lego asked to take it out from Flirck. I finally found this link: http://www.downloadmunkey.net/2009/05/rand...edition-poster/ the pic is in the link "this link" (5.2 MB zipped). Very nice resolution of 6866 x 9000 At last we can appreciate the minis beauty! :) For those people who didn't have luck to have this poster, you can enjoy having a look at all the minis in another way than looking at the low resolution little pic Lego has let on the web. Better to put nothing than teasing people stupidly! ;)
  2. Thanks for the thread link! :) I was sure it had been discussed already. Sorry i opened a new thread... :S And Darth Legolas, I don't hate you because you are American! :D Did i let understand something like this?? I hate Lego's prices politic cause they take European people for "Milk cows" as we say here.
  3. Maybe it's a subject people already started here but as i didn't find any topic like this, i had to start one. Sorry if you already debated about it before... Why Lego is making so big difference of price inbetween US, UK and Europe...I give some different exemple: Troll castle 7097: USD 99,99 GBP 73,39 approximatly USD 121 Euro 87,99 approximatly USD 126 Republic Attack Gunship 7676: USD 119,99 GBP 83,19 app. USD 138 Euro 129,99 app. USD 186!!!! :( Small set Agents 8967 USD 9,99 GBP 8,79 app. USD14,5 Euro 11,50 app. USD 16,5 And it's like that with all the sets... I don't know if there is worst than the Republic Attack Gunship difference of price. I didn't look at all the sets. But here we can see a difference of USD 66 !!! Why? Are European this rich that they can be taxed 50% more. what justify such a difference??? Only taxes? I hardly believe... It's not hard to understand the succes of Ebay and the lack of sells of Lego in Europe after that. I personnaly win money buying my lego sets on Ebay in the us...Even with high shipping costs. It's a good business for you lucky guys living in US. Just buy in big quantity lego sets and put them on Ebay! Yo will be cheaper than lego themselves in Europe! I continu with my exemple: Republic Attack Gunship 7676: USD 119,99 Shipping cost for France for the RAG is 45,50 USD (USPS Priority Mail International) Grand total for me to recieve it in France USD 165,49 In France if I buy it to Lego shop: 129,99 Euros + 6,50 Euros Shipping cost Grand total of 136,49 Euros so a total of USD 195,5 So all of you US guys got a profit margin of USD 30 So let's go and totaly kill Lego European site! Simply Unusefull! I decided not to buy anymore to them. If someone is ok here, to buy for us, poor European customers! :) We can pass commands, pay via paypal and even give extra money for service!
  4. Yeah. Very good idea. I had exactly the same idea when I first broke a little plant like this but used it with some of my Forestmen. Working better with them. moreover it's keeping the green color they all got in common. The fact that you see the feather fully with there hat doesn't make it look like a "cactus". What you can do in your case to make it look less straight and cactus is to bend it a little... If not you can do a little cut in it...you know....little triangle cut. It will look more like a feather after.

    wow!!! :o Super nice design! I like the compact look. Makes me remember to the Metal Slug style. All included in a cubic volum. Super nice! I want a lego set like this! :)
  6. yep Jammiedodger714 I totaly agree that the realisticness takes away the LEGO side. But i follow the style they can have with faces like Yoda, Ewoks, Greedo... Anyway, I agree I could do even piell with a base of a lego with only volumic ears and a print for the face. I'm always disturbed with the mix of Lego style and realistic shapes too... General Magma I used sculpting tools with brown and Green stuff. Nothing special. Just like for sculpting minis.
  7. I've just posted this in my "Hello! My name is... " as I'm new on the forum. Anyway, I taught i had to post it in Star wars section. it's 3 customs made from Green and Brown stuff. Painted and Vanished. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IV9W5sKJdTg/ShRY...-h/Custom01.JPG a friend will do molds of the specific parts in the weeks to come.
  8. hey! :) Thanks guys! Sure I will enjoy here! I already enjoy this forum since a long time. I just decided to start to post and be a little more active! :) For my avatar, yeah, it's a custom i did from GreenStuff and painting. A friend will do molds from it in the weeks to come. I got much more customs. here are 3 of them (a little part of Jedi council...) http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IV9W5sKJdTg/ShRY...-h/Custom01.JPG (maybe I have to post this in another section? )
  9. Here is a link to a blog i didn't update since a long time! :D http://alexandreboudon.blogspot.com/search...;max-results=10 But you can see a little what i do and what style I like. I designed (characters Props and BGs) for the "Atomic Betty" serie too if you see what it is... So you can see I'm mainly in Toon style but it happens to me to draw more serious things too! :)
  10. Doing mainly Caracter Design. But doing Background and props designs too And doing storyboard sometimes
  11. Hi. I'm Alex(Toth). I'm 32, Working in Cartoon industry, married, one child and much more to come!!! :D I'm an old lego fan, and as all of you i stopped for years. (Teenager time, young years, Job, Girls, Family...) And those last years, I found time again to look at toys with my son. And I felt again in Lego, and this time, probably until I die! :P My favorits are Star Wars/Space and Middle Age (espacially Forestmen and latest Fantasy sets!). I do some custom models myself. Especially characters still not done from Star wars movie. I like to build some lego sets in the way lego would do. With a minimum of pieces and maximum of playability. I also adore Boardgames and all type of games with minifigures like Warhammer Battle, etc... I would like to share my ideas and work on a type of a game like "Heroquest" using only Lego. It would be nice to combine Lego and Heroic Fantasy Boardgames that's all... :)
