  1. Just in time for the Christmas gift shopping season. Do you know what it looks like?
  2. The secure thing to do would be to damage the molds to the point where they can't be re-used before recycling the metal. A drill and angle grinder should make short work of that.
  3. This is my quick simple cheap setup. A couple of old swing arm desk lights, tripod and large sheet of construction paper for a seamless backdrop.
  4. May 616 Free Build #1 The stuff of wooden warship nightmares. Fire ships were used with great success in naval warfare throughout the centuries. One tactic is to send them into a fleet anchored in a bay. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the havoc that ensues. Fire Ship by dr_spock_888, on Flickr
  5. She's a real beauty. Sea Rats like ratlines.
  6. Northern part is close enough to Canada for people to think the state is part of Canada. Your nearest LEGO store would be in Montreal, Quebec, Canada too.
  7. You're safe to buy 2H sets. The Porsche box says 16+. It could be some liability concerns with their legal team.
  8. Welcome aboard. Are you in northern or southern part of Vermont?
  9. Congrats on your first book.
  10. I can't see PF 2.0 replacing the simplicity of the PF 1.0 Infrared train system any time soon. Needing a computer or smart phone with bluetooth adds to the costs and complexity of getting a starter train set running. Plus a child dropping a IR train controller on the floor is not as disasterous as a smart phone screen on impact.
  11. LEGO will not ship to a freight forwarding service. They had too much credit card fraud cases with them. If you have friends or relatives in those countries, you can ask them order it and ship to you. Why did you need to order from the UK or Germany?
  12. There should be an option to view the least supported projects on Ideas. They have a sort by most supported option but not the other way.
  13. With enough time, money and skilled resources, molds can be recreated.
  14. The results look like a golden age of piracy. Unfortunately, those pirates are not the Sea Rats. That would be a winfall in captured ships. No one wanted to touch the Queen's bananas?
  15. A mobile 1x1 round brick shooter from way back when I had very few pieces in the same color. Picture 4513 by dr_spock_888, on Flickr
  16. Usually happens when instructions for something popular is made available, some parts become more expensive due to demand. There are other ball options to fit one's budget. He did ask for Akiyuki's permission beforehand...
  17. You have to determine where it is leaking first. Is it a cracked housing? Bad seals/gaskets?
  18. Alternatively pick the size your Train LUG (or the LUG you want to join) has set as their standard.
  19. Very nice. Is that safe to have tall antennas on the roof with the pantographs?
  20. Procrastinating taking a shower. No one can smell me over the Internet yet.
  21. I enjoy sorting other people's bricks more than my own.
