    Welcome to Eurobricks, Lawrence. I remember those 4 stud wheels with the metal pin and the 2x4 bricks they click in. Pretty cool, your dad sold machines to insert the metal pin.

    Welcome Conny. What do you do with your LEGO?

    How badly do you want the set? If you can afford it, get it before stock runs out. There are risks waiting for the sale. There are more people competing for the same inventory stock now than 10 years ago. You have to be fast if the sale happens. Odds seem to be better if you go to a physical store than shop online.

    Looks like it is giving people in Europe a price increase on checkout. Maybe it is a plot to drive more foot traffic and sales their physical retail stores.

    Happy New Year. Studs on top.

    Depending on your quantity... You can also try LEGO online Pick A Brick or Bricks and Pieces. Also LEGO stores have Build A Minifig. Sea Rats have no particular uniform color.

    The time is near. Everyone has gathered for the big Jar Jar Binks send off. Let the count down to the new year begin. 10-9-8... Day 365 of 365: Celebration by dr_spock_888, on Flickr This concludes my first 365 photography project and with one object. I'm going on a Jar Jar break. Haha. What happens if the sarlacc gets the "runs" (diarrhea) instead?

    It is probably not necessary since your sigfig (and optional back story) will have to be posted in the respective fraction signup thread. The faction leaders will see it and add you to the members list.

    I think pirates are mostly free except there is still the bureaucrazy of filling in and submitting forms for builds and stuff.

    Even if an Idea gets to 10K votes, there is no guarantee it'll pass LEGO's indepth review phrase. You could 3D print one if you have access to a 3D printer like at your local public library. You can find 3D print files of them on the Internet like this http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:834691

    Have you ever felt like someone has been watching you for an entire year? Day 364 of 365: I Spy with My Little Eyes by dr_spock_888, on Flickr

    Here's LEGO's response in a Gizmodo article from a few years ago: Why did they changed the founders rule to never make gun like elements? The company still has a no gun policy when it comes to realistic or military play scenarios. However, in order to stay true to the strong licensed properties we incorporate to the Lego portfolio, we need to stay true to those properties and sometimes that involves including weapons. In our own play themes, some element of good vs. bad conflict is typically considered to provide for role play opportunities. In those instances, the setting is very clearly a fantasy world.

    From Gizmodo article on LEGO a few years ago. • What happens to all the bad pieces? Is there a Lego heaven? Do they recycle them? Due to the precision of the brick molding machines, there are very few "bad" pieces—only 18 elements in every million produced fail to meet the company's high standards. Extra pieces or pieces from boxes that are caught on the line and identified as missing pieces or have boxes that are slightly damaged are used for donation boxes that are distributed to underprivileged children's organizations around the world. • Why there is no recycling program for all the plastic they produce? Lego Bricks are recyclable, just not in the way that most people think of recycling. Lego bricks are one of those things that never break and most people pass them down from generation to generation, thus keeping them alive. Also, during production we recycle all of the residual plastic used. In the molding machines, we crunch any faulty elements and put the granulate back in to the mold. Plastic that we can no longer use is sold to industries that can make use of them.

    Susieh Cheng loves sharp pointy objects. She doesn't like talking about her past like that incident with her eye. Rumours have it that she was kidnapped as a child by pirates. Having been raised by pirates, she developed a taste for gold and booty. Whatever you do, do not cross her. Those who do end up as shark bait after seasoned with 14 spices and stuffed with stale bread.
