lol! Warning heeded.

Yup. Now I have to change my avatar.

Soooo, are those brick pattern pieces new? I have not seem them before. I'm not sure if I love em or hate em.

Has anyone else looked at the new LEGO CUUSOO site? http://lego.cuusoo.com Post your Lego MOC or idea, get enough votes and LEGO will look into making it an official LEGO set (you get royalties). I'm sure lots of you saw this on TBB recently, but I was wondering what your thoughts were. Also, I post...

FYI I have added pictures of the built Lego Settlers of Catan to my flickr feed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mtbin/6208 ... otostream/

I brought it to the last meeting, but if you missed it, take a look.

I chortled.

So, who is going to be the first one to make a mini modular petshop to finish off the set?

The building size can range.. depending on if it is a corner building or has a back courtyard area. The sidewalk is 7 wide. This page from the green grocer instructions might help (click here). As for how to shop... I really mostly peruse flickr a lot of ideas and pieces that I find neat. Once you g...

LEGO Universe Raises Level Cap from Zero to 40 (kotaku.com)

"Welcome to the grind, bricklayers."

I like it!

A medieval apartment building is a great idea.

This thread killed the forum. Good work.

Yea i don't like the large prefab stuff. Which I find Mega Bloks does a lot. takes out all the fun.

I guess it's still good for kids though... I mean some kids like playmobil. Silly kids.

Just wondering, these exclusive sets are only available online at TRU right? You can't go to a TRU store and pick up a pet shop for instance, right?

I didnt even know you could get those sets anywhere but directly from Lego (either online or at a Lego store). Apparently I was wrong about that.

I'd be into doing a group order with them.... with 1,953,798 items in 3292 lots, there's something for everyone! heheh

Now I wish I had just gotten one chrome item on my last order to show your guys a sample...

Yea mostly The Brothers Brick and the Flickr LEGO group on top of those 3 you mentioned.
Sometimes I randomly check out some of the not so frequently updated blogs... there is a good list at TBB here.

Heh, yea I actually just bought some bricks from them. Interestingly I didn't get anything chrome, but I did check them out while i was filling my my cart. I can at least vouch for their speed and accuracy. It was the first order to arrive of the 5 orders I made on the same day, so that says somethi...

Since clearly neither of you want those sets too badly, I will gladly take them off your hands.

I ended up getting a couple POTC London escapes, a captains cabin, and a small creator set. They also had a deal on where if you sign up for their HBC credit card, you get 20% off. So I did that and promptly paid it off and probably will never use it again, but it was worth the $25 I saved on top of...

I was part of the closed BETA. But then by the time it came out I had already played through everything and maxed out my equipment. So there wasn't really any point to buy it. It seemed too short, but I suppose they keep releasing new content, so maybe it is worth it. The one thing I found annoying ...

If there is anyone who is disappointed by the fact that the gold bar wasn't chrome gold and the gold pieces didn't have single digits on them like on the box, this article might interest you: http://www.fbtb.net/2011/05/20/potc-chrome-gold-replacement-parts/ Apparently you can just complain to LEGO ...

yea i want one of each too. eventually

And this one with the hat: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=95220pb01

And on the topic of potc, this came out on the weekend....

yea i agree, Allan.

Yea want to make that horse too. That's awesome.

I really like how the proportions look more accurate as far as human (and horse) anatomy goes.

Heheh yea I was just joking about Dave making the trophy. I did really like the one he made for MOC of the year. p.s. is it just me or does "vig off" sound dirty? that's just you. :P I do like the idea of these little challenges even if there is no physical reward. Whats better than the respect of y...

Yea I only have the green grocer at this point... I can't afford to get the whole series at once. Though I do need to get the grand emporium before it goes out of production.

I missed the cafe corner and now that is just stupid to try and buy.
