    Better at hiding the cups themselves :D

    In my PS (bought when it was first released) it is the old style of that part. But indeed I noticed that part change for the PR :

    Danish inquisition, not Spanish :D This PDF explains well a large part of what is "illegal" and why: http://bramlambrecht.com/tmp/jamieberard-brickstress-bf06.pdf

    Nice truck, it looks really good and I like the details of the chassis

    Postage costs are rather high in Western Europe indeed. Except UK. In postal services, all is paid in the country which sends the package. So if you send a package between countries A and B, A get the money and has to send the package to B, B gets the package and has to deliver it to the final recipient... for free. Generally it works well because you can suppose than in average each country sends as many package and they receive. However, nowadays it is not true anymore: Europe receives a lot of packages from China, and many from USA too. And it is not so common to send package there. So postage costs from China to Europe are very low for example. UK is cheaper because it is often used as intermediate platform for sellers who import from China and then send to other EU countries, so UK probably sends much more package (postal service getting then more money) than other EU countries. For example if I want to send something to USA, for more than 350g it already costs me at least 20 € ! (and 40 € above 1 kg).

    That window can be replaced by the hollow stud version, i.e. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60598 instead of http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4132 Then you have to use http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60608 as panes instead of http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4133 but I suppose that the result would be similar enough considering the price difference...

    I had that problem recently indeed, but I got my bag back when I just picked in the browser history the address redirecting from the parts selection to the checkout page ; the second time I got the checkout page with my bag without having to redo the whole parts selection. I often have that kind of "lost data" when I do a search: first time I search something it brings me back to the home page, second time it (sometimes) find what I ask. (Firefox on Windows)

    There was this one posted recently: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=105683

    1x2 bricks were often seen, but indeed 1x1 would be new

    As said a few times on this thread, original panels have no interest in the CC, as you can achieve a very similar result with newer (reinforced) panels, or a much better result with the current 1x2x3 windows that didn't exist back then. For the doors, that's up to you to either pay the price or take other ones more or less similar (either opening the other side, with other design, or even 1x4x6 instead of 1x4x5 but then requiring several other changes).

    Indeed, the difference is small, but it is there

    Upping this thread to post new contents, In the episode 1.04 of the TV series "Veronica Mars", archive pictures show a kid driving a car in Legoland park: And in "The Michael J. Fox Show", which already featured Lego previously, the episode 1.20 had even more: (set 10210) And at the end of that episode, a whole city: I guess that either someone really likes Lego in the crew, or that was a product placement... More pictures from that on http://bricks.inmovi.es/movie_2338232_The-Michael-J-Fox-Show.html

    If that is due to the "Lego" writing on the studs, I guess it would work with http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=85861 instead of the regular 1x1 round?

    I often found dark red 1x2 bricks in Lille, but Wijnegem has a smaller parts selection.
  15. antp
    9,99 for the small assuming that in Wijnegem it is the same price as in Lille, it would be 17,99 for the large and you get a discount of 50 or 70 cents if you re-use a cup rather than taking a new one It may indeed worth going there for some parts if you need large quantities, if it happens that they have what you need (or if you want to stock for future MOCs)

    For this scene: http://antp.be/priv/lego-wv5/P1100729_2.JPG (from http://mocpages.com/moc.php/402770) I used the head from this fig: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=twn058 which can be found in these sets: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3626bpb0272&in=S

    Indeed, these 1x2 were already seen in several stores

    And here it is these window that I have a lot, I already found these several times in the PaB wall :D I do not need so much these jumper tiles though (I previously bought the few I needed from Lego's site), but the windows may be useful some day in quantities... I hesitate to take much larger quantities just in case some day I need them.
  19. antp
    Nice the 2x2 white jumper plates, I hope to find that some day in the PaB wall This afternoon I went to the store of Wijnegem (Belgium) to exchange the calendar voucher with the minifig -- calendar that I got from the store in Lille (France) in January. There the wall is smaller than in Lille, and there wasn't much new content, so I only took a small cup and not large+small like what I usually do in Lille. But when coming back home I discovered that I didn't had yet lime slopes, so I could have taken a few more of these. Same for the grey slopes: I had less than I thought, and these can more easily be re-used, so here too I could take more. Well, that'll be for next time. It is not always easy to remember what quantity of which part we already have
  20. antp
    A little of everything... In my case, there are parts from my childhood, parts from lots bought on Ebay, parts bought on Bricklink, sets bought just for parts, and some sets that I dismantle after a few months/years because I do not consider as good enough to be kept as they are indefinitely.
  21. antp
    very old part in CA plastic rather than ABS ? as that part exists since nearly the beginning
  22. antp
    Wasn't that before the recent price changes? Also, it was for volume when completely filled, which is more easily done with small parts than big ones. For the original questions, there must be some people who tried to fit the most possible 2x4s in the cups, but that info is lost somewhere in the 63 pages of http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27795

    MOC: Candy Store

    antp replied to eliza's topic in LEGO Town

    Really nice. I like the style of the facade, it is quite realistic
  24. antp
    Good find, I didn't know that it was sold separately. But anyway I suppose it wasn't the original idea of this thread
