You're right, I had a look on ebay and they are really the same bricks, just different sets. But I suppose it may be the other way round - maybe they buy them from Cobi and rebrand for UK as D60 or Cobi got licence for D60. I think so because Cobi manufacture their own bricks, but who knows. Is there anything written on D60's studs? By the way - Cobi doesn't seem to care too much for what single customers think. A few years ago I wrote them a message with my comments and questions and recently again with comments about that new line and some suggestion for a new licence and they didn't even bother to reply.

Check out new Cobi line "Wild Story" http://cobi.pl/en/toys/wild-story/ Positive surprise and good direction, I think.

I tried to push it out with technic X rod, but it's not a usual pin. I would have to squeeze it somehow but there's no room.

How do you remove such pins? I've already destroyed one with pliers but still couldn't remove it. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4966497

Better pray it's only cheese slopes. I have all my MMV cracked, it was posted here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5020&st=0&p=772760entry772760

I haven't even started yet, I'm sorting my collection, but I have collected books about architecture, antiques and decorating and I'm going to use them as reference and ispiration. Maybe try the same, get some albums about something you're interested in and start from there.

It's sad, but I haven't got any reply from customer service at all. I don't know what to think about it.

Don't you know it's a sin? You're gonna burn in hell.

Why not, I can agree with these 2. And my votes: 1. Tolkien 2. Tad Williams' books 3. Thorgal (the best ever European comic series, not very well known in English-speaking countries) 5. Thief games 6. Charles Dickens 7. Mario 8. Dungeons & Dragons 9. Back To The Future 10. some great rock bands

All modular buildings and Medieval Market Village

Well, these 2 parts are not that bad, they are quite small and simple and I guess I could use them for something. But the main, big parts are horrible.

Hmm, they actually look better than I thought before. I think I'll get some.

OK, I've done it a few days ago, but no reply yet. Or it got filtered out by e-mail provider, like it happened recently with some hotel booking confirmation.

For me all Bionicle parts except the small and simple technic parts. Thay have no other use than in ugly robots and look like thay were made of some smaller mechanical parts and have fake joints and... you can't make a house of them. And some big parts designed for one purpose only like truck trailers and such.

Asda (Liverpool, Smithdown Rd) has 7590: Woody and Buzz to the Rescue 2 for 20

Are the prices and choice the same in Design By Me as in Pick A Brick?

No, I don't think so, I don't use them. I'm still thinking what else it could have been. I wonder if at any time it was standing next to any heat source like PC or something, and I don't think so either. What's the proper temperature for it?

I can't create my album in the gallery. OK, it's public now. PICTURES

They've been only standing built up on the shelf in my room for a long time as far as I know, I don't know what gnomes/goblins/brownies do with them when I'm out. I guess it's the pressure of the studs to the other brick, but making them more loose wouldn't be the solution, because everything would fall apart. I'll post some pics as soon as I charge the battery. On the latest survey I saw someone pointed that out, so I checked and unfortunately had to confirm. Before that I only saw that the chimney falls out because of the crack, but I thought maybe it was knocked. I hope so. I just got the Lego obsession and don't want to lose it this way. Here are the PICTURES

Well, without dismantling the 2 buildings of MMV I can see 42 cracked bricks, so I'm afraid I'll find many more after dismantling :( Thay are light grey, brown, tan, dark tan, black, full height 1x1, 1x2, arches, flat 1x2, 1x1 slopes... At this point I can't only see cracked light blue, maybe it's more dense or something. I have to dismantle my Green Grocer quickly, it's been on the shelf for a few months already. And what now? Will go back to the dark age? I'm not willing to pay for single-use bricks.

I have the buildings from Medieval Market Village built up for a long time (about 1 - 1.5 year) and A LOT of the bricks are cracked now only because of standing on the shelf, maybe even 1/3! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO disappointed, that I may stop buying ever again!

Do you think they should make some new version of minifigs with bending arms and legs like MB or stick to the old ones forever? I know they are classic, but sometimes you want them to kneel or strike a different pose.

You don't need a ticket to the shop, but PAB and BAM are very poor unfortunately. A few basic bricks. The most interesting part for me there was a flower stalk and once there were a few pieces from a game set thrown in, so I got some white arches. If it comes to sets, it's probably the best choice if you don't want to go to London area. If you go there let us know if they have Kingdoms, I haven't seen them anywhere else.

Does anyone build any mixed brand MOCs?

Yeah! He's great. I'm listening now to Asia - Omega New album with former members. I like all periods and both presently existing bands.
