LEGO thread, I need your help. This is supposed to look like this  or this,but the head is kicking my rear end. Keeps ending up either too big or completely unrecognizable. Any chance some enterprising individual just had a flash of inspiration they'd be willing to share? Oh, hey, I don't think I ever posted the completed Appa in this thread.

Orlando Imagination Center had lots of brick grab bags today. $8 each..not too bad. I picked up a couple and got a pretty decent piece distribution...shitloads of trans-clear and trans-dk green 1x2 bricks for some reason though.

I managed to get a Galactic Enforcer for $69 at WalMart last night, I wasn't going to chance waiting for another price drop and having it sell out again.

The King of Prussia Lego store got the series 2 Minifigures in today. I got a call from a friend around 1 to tell me, and I got to the store at 6. They were already sold out. They're letting them go 16 to a customer. If you live near a Lego store and want to get them there, go NOW.

So my local Target has the Castle Trolls Mountain Fortress 7097 for $49.99 (scanner rings up $0.00, it's clearanced apparently but they are guessing at the price) I don't see them dropping below $139 on Amazon and Ebay so I guess I will be picking it up tomorrow if it's still there. I've grabbed in the last two days and managed to talk myself out of it. Anyone want it?

The Austin store has the series 2 figures as well. We ran through probably 1/3 of our supply today, I don't see them lasting more than two more days. I got a bunch of mimes, two vampires, a witch, two mexicans, and a karate guy. Pretty stoked on what I can do with all of these mime heads.

I'm jealous, I plan to make it up to the austin store in the next month or two from Corpus but I doubt they will have evven one hiding out by then. Time to hope TRU has some this time.

I've seen a few rather good vignettes around on different LEGO sites. I'd like to see what you uys can come up with. Rules are simple. 8x8 studs, whatever you want. To start us off:   I might re-create this in real bricks later with the Toy Story soldiers.

Here's my current vignette, an astronomical observatory with CCD imager attached to cassegrain telescope (complete with mirror!), realistic focuser and working technic equatorial mount. Click here for the full 505x819 image.  Click here for the full 688x711 image.  Click here for the full 482x660 image.

Found a couple of almost full boxes of Series 2 figures at the WalMart up at St. Clair & Runnymede here in Toronto, and did a quick cross-compare of the barcodes. Grabbed 16, and ended up with dupes of the Ring Master and Swimming gal. Time go check that barcode printout and head back I guess!

I guess I'm not into legos like a bunch of you guys are, but I do have a 5 year old that loves playing with them, so I get a lot of exposure to them as well. When I moved out of my parent's place to go to college, I took all the bricks I'd accumulated when I was a kid (mostly technic stuff from the late 80's) and put it up in their attic. A couple years ago, I got it back from my parents so he'd have a good set of bricks to start working with. Since he's been into legos, he's collected a shitload of them through birthdays, holidays, etc. We have the Minotaurus board game, which is kind of fun, and he just got the Ramses Pyramid, which we haven't played yet. He's picked up a number of town sets, space police, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, those ocean crab things, a bunch of bionicle poo poo, and just this weekend, a fire helicoptor and a truck. I signed him up for the lego club thing and he gets those kid's magazines and catalogs, which he reads obsessively, and will point out to any visitor which ones he really wants. He's been building his own stuff lately, since he wants to get his picture in the magazine. I should start submitting pictures soon, he's starting to get good. Anyway, if you don't have kids, try it out. It's a good way to share your hobby.

So I'm thinking about buying my first Lego set in a while, and I found this Y-Wing (7658) set on Bricklink for pretty much MSRP. The Y-Wing has always been a favorite ship of mine, but I've never been able to get the set. Does anyone have this set that can post some pictures, or comparisons to the 1999 Y-Wing/TIE Fighter set?

Having bought two of these (and also a fan of Y-Wings), I can definitely recommend it. It's far more detailed than the original set and is nicely proportioned. It also has a ton of useful pieces, and I especially liked the creative design of the engines. If you can get it for a reasonable price, go for it. Here's a decent set review in pictures to help you out: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=237907

Every time I build a creator set I don't want to tear it down. I can't recommend these sets enough. Minifig scale is good in its own right, but I just prefer bigger builds.

You guys are all finding series 2 minifigs in the US and Canada, but is there any sign of them in the UK yet? I can't seem to find them yet, although I've been working a fair bit, so not had too much chance to look.

I'm not even going to try and find minifigs this time. I spent about $70 and ended up with a half dozen ninjas and crash test dummies. I'll just buy the ones I want a la carte and spend a whole lot less.

I bought a few series 2 today, got Spartacus, the pharao, 2nd circus-dude, ski-guy, bayway babe and the mexican. I'm really, really happy with the first two. I also noticed they still had at least two unopened boxes of series one. Unfortunately for all you US goons, it's in the Netherlands..

All I want really is a robot or two, a nurse (for my Mom), a couple crash test dummies, a spaceman (mostly for his gun), and one of those creepy-rear end clowns. Though if Lego turned around and started selling zombies in 10-packs, I'd definitely jump at that.

Baruch Obamawitz posted:Would tan and dark tan work as a parquet wood floor? I personally think brown and dark tan would look better, but I think tan is perfectly viable too. Depends on the kind of wood, I suppose. You can also try alternating old brown and new brown, if you want to be really fancy. afflictionwisp posted:Y'all are no drat help whatsoever, but there's plenty of time for you to redeem yourselves, 'cause this moc is quickly getting out of control.
