This one: http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=90258

Thanks ;)
-
A small change in the settings of the mobile theme could be done to include IEmobile too, though
-
As I suggested previously, I think it would look more on-scale with 1x2 than with 2x4, and that's probably easier to find in various colours.
-
The market street set can be good for that, as one of the half building of that set is only a ground floor. Though that the other half of the set is better with nothing at its right side due to its top level terrace... but that one could probably be built mirrored to put the ground-only part between the Parisian Restaurant and it.

In French the ending "t" is not be pronounced in that name. The "e" should be pronounced like the one of "bet" for example.
-
When reading your post I was afraid that they made the same letter inversion as they did with "sheild" in the Back to the future set, but they correctly wrote "hors d'oeuvres"; I can understand the error while retyping a strange word like that ;) However the choice of both "Hors d'oeuvres" and "Entrées" is strange: nowadays both are used for the same thing (at least in a 3-course meal). The main course is missing :D
-
That set solves a childhood mystery: in the idea book #260 on page 35 (see via http://www.brickfactory.info/theme/index.html) they use a baseplate that I couldn't find in any set of that time in the catalog. It is the baseplate of 6071 it seems...

Bricklink ? :) Or any soft like LDD, MLCad, etc.

Do you or another admin have access to the config of the mobile skin? It seems that as IPBoard do not make that list themselve, it is up to the site admin to add mobile user agents assigned to the mobile skin: http://community.invisionpower.com/resources/bugs.html/_/ip-board/lo-fi-user-agents-r20950 (by default it was taking only Safari, I guess Chrome was added later) As shown in the user agent I posted earlier, in case of Windows Phone the check can be simply made on "IEMobile" to include all versions.

It is sad that they put so many 2x :/ It is normal that they can't put only parts interesting for AFOLs, but they should include more 1x than 2x, even for many kids these are useful for building.

Modular Building Sets - Rumours and Discussion
antp replied to The Jersey Brick Guy's topic in LEGO Town
The older 73590c01a seems cheaper than 73590c02a, I guess it would work the same way in this case? edit: well, not that much cheaper though, it was only in a few more sets -
Indeed the DeLorean has the right ones, which look better. I didn't even notice that!
-
Maersk is an usual partnership for Lego, so comparing that to a red bus or a JCB digger is irrelevant... Instead of one more ship they could re-do a container truck like they did several years ago (as the train was already made two years ago), but making that ship is logical with the release of the new Triple E ships by Maersk this year and next year: it was possibly asked by the company.
-
A solution to eliminate a lot of STAMPs would be to replace the 2x4 containers by 1x2s (as I suggested they should have done). This would fix the scale issue and allow to make multiple colors at the same time... I might consider doing that, though that it would require a lot of 1x2 plates and tiles, and containers would be unmarked.
-
Just the one on the front of the train, and it was not really useful to be applied (I didn't put that one, but put most of the others).
-
With 1x2 plates they could make more on-scale containers indeed. And more color variety. That, I would probably have bought. But here all these grey containers full of stickers do not convince me
-
Making that ship at minifig scale would be rather big. The scale isn't yet right here, there should be more than 10 containers in width, imagine if you do that with 6-wide or 8-wide containers
-
It is medium azure. I guess it is easier for them to make it medium azure, or else they would have to make many new parts in maersk blue. Also, the shade of blue of the real ships are possibly not always exactly the same. On most of the photos the Triple E looks brighter than the maersk blue, it is possible that the medium azure is closer to the real one.

I went there this Saturday afternoon That shopping centre where they put the store is really gigantic. There is nothing comparable in Brussels, were commercial areas are all smaller. It is somewhat like Euralille. Getting there is a little annoying. For going it was ok, but for coming back it took me time to get on the highway (the parking lot exit is on the other side, not easy, there were a lot of people). Parking is free but well filled. In the end, I think I'll go there from time to time for the wall, but I'll also continue to go to Lille for the French prices when there is a difference, and I prefer walk through Lille between were I park and Euralille, than going through Antwerp's traffic jams. The shop is very similar to those from Paris and Lille. The wall contents too. It was somewhat the same as what I saw in Lille in July. There were a lot of people (good for Lego, but it was tiring, I hope it was just due to the opening), so I didn't take photos of the wall. I posted my PAB cups on the related thread: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27795&st=950#entry1705670

From my visit in the new store in Belgium: ( more info about the store in the related thread: http://www.eurobrick...0 ) I think I took a little many olive cheese slopes and white/gold grilles (on the road coming home, I was thinking "maybe I should have taken more cheese slopes, but while sorting all these I thought that in the end I had enough of these) Additionally to what is visible here, there were: - tiles 2x2 yellow - tiles 1x2 dark purple & transparent light blue - plates 1x1 transparent yellow - more classic bricks/plates
-
Another classy storage/sorting system is using an old printing cabinet, the one for storing fonts: http://www.certiferme.com/blog/imgs/articles/blog-702-la-mesure-des-cases-du-casier-d-imprimeur-27-mars-2013-280313001803-3529643327.jpg The neighbour of my parent bought one some time ago, having Lego sorting in mind, but never actually used it. If I had space for it, I would have bought it... but unfortunately such space is a luxury I can't afford in my apartment. It is fine for storing small parts like small plates or 1x1 bricks, but not really suited for larger parts I think.

It seems that the link is visible on the full version when you switch from the mobile version, but I can't get the mobile version in the first place. Possibly IE mobile isn't recognized as a mobile browser? User agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows Phone 8.0; Trident/6.0; IEMobile/10.0; ARM; Touch; NOKIA; Lumia 620) in case that detection is configurable by forum admins...
-
How do you get the mobile version? As with IE mobile or UC Browser the forum seems similar to the normal one, not especially optimized. Is the switch automatic in Safari/Chrome or do you have to click something ?
-
How is it possible? Why don't you MOC then? I dream of having a lot of time to be able to make all the MOCs I'm thinking about. I have the bricks, I have the ideas, I just need the time for it. Retirement is too far away for me...
