I agree 100%

Not only do I think there will be Speed Racer sets with minifigs but I would also expect the LEGO multi- track to get re-released with the Speed Racer theme.

I got my UCS Falcon today and it's serial # was 2161.

Even after I enlarged the pic it's still hard to make them out clearly. That's one jacked-up Vader on the far right. I guess the Vader minifig is LEGO's version of this:

Nice.

I seriously doubt there will be a 2nd wave on a set that's this large and expensive. If anything, crude oil price are now over $80 and this will make LEGO sets even more expensive to produce and ship.

Here's a photo capture of the status page on LEGO.com for my UCS Falcon that I ordered back on Feb 10th.

So true. While at least this ordeal reminded everyone how important brickshelf is and that it shouldn't be taken for granted, it could have been handled 'way' better. Regardless- Viva la brickshelf!!

This is great news!!! I'm glad they were able to keep it together.

If www.brickshelf.com can keep it together (as they say the will) they still have my 100% support.

Another benefit of flickr is that it will make it easier to help migrate new LEGO fans over since many would already be using flickr and maybe help bring them out of their 'dark-ages'. Most people don't like to have to join multiple photosharing sites for family photos and another one for LEGO and flickr is the best choice right now IMO.

That's my fear. I'm worried it will be shutdown as well. At least we know that flickr will be around longer then any other photo-sharing websites right now.

If this means that many of us need to support both mocpages and flickr right now then that's what we might have to do. While I prefer to stay within one website, but considering that some are already set up on mocpages and others are set up at flickr means we obviouly are going to have some division. While I still prefer flickr.com, as a symbol of solidarity I just set up an account @ www.mocpages.com a few minutes ago and uploaded a few pics. While this scenerio is far from perfect, it could be worse. Lets keep it within these two unique websites for now.

You could be right, but sticking together is more important than anything else at this moment in time. I view the collapse of brickshelf similar to to how the original Napster kept most all (illegal) music downloading in a centralized place before the music industry stopped it and everyone got scattered into different P2P's around the world. I'm not here to support illegal downloading since Im personally against it, but the music industry had a chance to find a good compromise while everyone was in one spot and they blew it (itunes is the music industries 2nd chance IMO). When you have a central site where most everyone in a particular interest group (ie LEGO) goes, it's important to do everything we can to stay united at one location (at least until the mega-shock of brickshelfs death resides). Everyones comments are always greatly appreciated (regardless if we agree or not)!!!

I think everyone in the community really needs to stick together and if that means we need to agree on making flickr.com our new home then fine. Hopefully flickr could accommodate us in a special way (after most of us have made the transition and can prove our significance) since there is no doubt in my mind we are going to draw a significant amount traffic to the website (as long as we stick together). Together we stand because the 'dark-ages' of our past sucked ;) Re-group here for now - http://flickr.com/groups/lego/ While I personally don

My favorite LEGO color (for color sake) is 'lime green', but I haven't anything out of it. If I go by what I actually use on most all of my MOCs then I would have to say white and lt. grey.

LEGO moved them into my gallery @ http://tinyurl.com/yrsw7l

A minig will fit inside, even though the picture makes it look small.

EDITED: All my new vehicles, bots, and modules can be seen @ http://tinyurl.com/yrsw7l

Moonbases have been around for a while, but my idea is to make them smaller, more affordable, and available through the LEGO Factory to download or purchase. Most people don't have the huge amount of LEGOs needed to make some of those fantastic Moonbases seen at BrickFests over the years. 'Space City Spec' modules is my attempt to bring that incredible AFOL Moonbase standard to the masses. Here's a new Space City- "Home" Colony Module:

Here's a pic of SPACE CITY ;-) under construction:

I agree. There's always from improvement and it was my very first attempt using LDD and/or any virtual-type LEGO program.

All of my latest Space City- Colony modules are up now:

I wouldn't pay $51 for it either, but it was fun making it on LDD though. :-)

There is always a lot of room for improvement on all the modules I've made. Right now I'm more interested in getting my ideas out for feedback. I hope I might inspire some other fellow 'builders' to construct their own compatible modules by downloading mine to modify and improve them.
