    Oh boy, a bunch of 12-year-olds-trying-to-act-like-grown-ups-that-had-it-good are trying to make an opinion! Everyone head for the hills! Here's some advice: Sometimes it's just a loud few ;) In all earnesty though, it's really hit and miss. Just like it used to be, AND JUST LIKE HOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE. LEGO usually makes sets that can be hit and miss. I think these reviewers (the ones that aren't 12 years old anyway) are letting nostalgia cloud their judgement too much. ^_^

    My dad thinks it's the most ridiculous thing ever. Although I agree with the above, I think there is a point where you need to step back and say "ummm.... maybe I'm getting a little TOO obsessive". Then I completely ignore his advice because this is coming from a guy who would freak out over model air planes (my mom knows all the best secrets!);) In terms of general techniques, Peppermint nailed it. Also use a towel too sometimes, it allows for good grip when you need to separate stuff that a brick separator can't, and makes clean-up easier too. ^_^

    Wow, thank you for sharing, I always love learning about LEGO's history in my country! :D

    LEGO first and foremost is a company, and like any company, they will realize they have to cut quality to produce more quantity, as much as it sucks. :( Soon LEGO will realize how powerful they are and stuff like LUGBULK will be taken away because of lugs abusing the privilege and LEGO realizing it doesn't need AFOLs to promote its product anymore. Look at the store window displays, they were shut down because of a bunch of idiots who abused the program. So it's a little on both sides. It's really annoying when people bring this up, because yes, quality is decreasing, but LEGO is a company, to say that this isn't expected is like saying the sun won't rise tomorrow (it's night as I write this). The best thing you can do at this point is pray they don't start suing Bricklink for some reason or other.

    You don't know what DOCTOR WHO is?!?! You have to watch it, it's such a wonderful show. Don't let the fact that it's meant for kids bother you, even children's television can be entertaining at the best of times! Wow, thanks for such a lovely comment Andy D!! I hope there's one for everyone... if not, Missy's in there too! Hehe, he's there in the second picture, just easy to miss because Clara is blocking him ;P You'll have to check out my post here:

    In honour of the latest and greatest announcement (in case you haven’t heard, it’s official), I just couldn’t wait and so I had to build my own. Peter Capaldi has definitely done an amazing job as Doctor Who, and I'm uber excited for series 9, as well as OFFICIAL LEGO® DOCTOR WHO!! Logo found here. Reference 1 and reference 2. 11th Doctor TARDIS reference here. *Doctor Who, TARDIS and all related names, images, etc. are property of the British Broadcasting Corporation. All rights reserved.*

    Oh LEGO videogames on the pc... with their super-lagg-y runtime and the weird animations.... ah, those were the days ;D Awesome write-up, I lived through all these much like yourself! A truly fantastic article!

    I guess it depends. If the person did it as something to sell, then to an extent I guess, but in general I don't think so. I mean, is information copyright to universities? Goodness forbid never!

    Woah woah woah, janitors are awesome, some of the coolest people I know are janitors! Sometimes I may add a fig that reminds me of someone I know in real life to my moc, but it never stretches beyond 1 to 2 people. Though it's fun to sometimes say to them "You know you're in my moc right?" ;P

    *foams at mouth* wooooaaaa...

    Cool! I don't display because once I build something I have to take it apart for the next thing! ;D

    Hehe, thanks for a great share!

    Those brown ones can be tricky! Glad it was solved!

    Haven't had a bad brick links experience.... yet.... as for ebay, would probably never buy from there since you netiher can tell what you're getting or the seller can be really difficult and untrustworthy. Though I did come across an interesting article today that really relates to this: http://www.jangbricks.com/2015/02/used-lego-sellers-important-wake-up-call.html

    Mine's the EXACT same except it says "Fairview). :D So exciting!

    I usually set a cap of $50-$100 CAD per month. Keep in mind that's because it usually goes to Bricklink. I rarely have money for sets these days because I'm too busy buying tons of bulk parts for mocing.
