I decided to make a quickie for Novvember while I work on the designs for my two main Vipers. Except, it's not actually a Vic Viper, it's a Zig, from everyone's favorite tired old meme. Thunderwoot Booya posted:O CAPTAIN! my CAPTAIN! they set up us the bomb;

Ok, I was just cleaning out my closet to make room for christmas presents, and I came across this set, in it's entirety, but without instructions or a box. a few of the pieces were taken apart so I googled the set to find the instructions and noticed that the cheapest set for sale is $80.... why the hell is this set so expensive? the minifigs are pretty cool, but other than that, there isn't really anything that jumps out to me. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=vampire I also found http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=60550 which apparently sells for $100 as well, those are crazy prices edit: the plane in pharohs quest looks really cool, I hope my kids ask for that next year.

Well, it's from the old LEGO Studios line, though I'm pretty sure it was during my Dark Ages since I didn't recognize it. At the time, LEGO was marketing a rebranded Logitech webcam, and you'd buy these sets to make movies with the included software. There was even an official Steven Spielberg minifig in one of them. It's basically conflict-in-a-box taken to an extreme. I don't know that they were particularly popular beyond the novelty factor for a lot of the parts.

I didn't snag either one. Dang it, I could've made me some money, if only I'd bought sets that held no interest for me at the time.

I love lego but my skills are pretty meh. My anniversary is coming up soon and I thought I'd get my wife (who also loves lego, we spent last weekend building the imperial flagship and the halo pelican) a custom set. We just visited Amsterdam recently and my wife absolutely loves the architecture there so I thought I'd make her a Dutch canal house because I figured that's inside my skill range Dutch Canal Houses  Click here for the full 1680x1260 image. And my attempt:  Click here for the full 1680x923 image.  Click here for the full 1680x923 image.  Click here for the full 1680x923 image. There are interiors which include staircases, hallways and apartments. They're not furnished because at some point it started to feel like I was playing the sims but in slow motion. I think this looks good but I've spent hours on this now in LDD and I think I've lost perspective. Thoughts?

At a rough glance, most of the ones in the reference picture seem to have three windows across, and the window sizes are larger in proportion to the building than what you've got.

For his birthday, we thought we'd make him a Lego Batman cake, with a Lego Batman figure as the topper. Thought no problem, just hop on bricklink & grab a whole set, because they were being given away at retail outlets let's see here, how much cash will I need HOLY poo poo ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Are there larger windows in LDD? I didn't see any in LDD but maybe I missed them. This was my first time using it. Edit: ah, found the bigger window. It looked like a door at first glance. Also gave me a reason to redo the window stonework. I think it works better now:  Click here for the full 1680x923 image.

Holy loving poo poo You can try calling your credit card provider and tell them what happened, they can probably give you a credit until it's sorted out. But otherwise they will take their own sweet time.

This is from a while back, but looks like I was wrong when I thought there wouldn't be any Cars (the Pixar film) Lego because it was a Duplo thing. Set #8200 – CARS Radiator Springs Lightning McQueen. Set #8201 – CARS Classic Mater 1.5.2011 Set #8206 – CARS Tokyo Pit Stop Set #8423 – CARS World Grand Prix Racing Rivalry Set #8424 – CARS Mater’s Spy Zone Set #8426 – CARS Escape at Sea Set #8484 – CARS Ultimate Build Lightning McQueen Set #8486 – CARS Mack’s Team Truck Set #8487 – CARS Flo’s V8 Café Scheduled for May next year (from here). My kid won't be old enough for it yet though. However, that may not stop me getting some.

To be fair Pixar movies are great kid movies for adults.  edit: I like your river house thingy, especially the basement portion. You should go look at all the lego building instructions for the modular houses. They have neat techniques you can adapt for yourself. djfooboo fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Nov 14, 2010 |

Holy loving poo poo Just checked my account and talked to Amazon... I guess in this instance, they have placed a hold on that cash, and yes, it will be tied up for the next 7 or so days. Serves me right for ordering from Marketplace.

Heres's a few more MOCs. They all have the same red-on-brass color scheme (except for the last one, which is more burgundy), which I really like. I got the idea for the top one from seeing an old Blacktron set!

And this is something different. I was actually hesitant to upload it here, since I just built something from a Creator instruction manual and edited it, making it some kind of hollowed-out robot cyborg hyena thing.

I was able to find a couple of my old MOCs today and decided I would take some pictures of them. The first one takes its inspiration from what was my favorite Lego set when I was a kid, the Blacktron Renegade: First the Renegade:  Click here for the full 621x601 image. And here is what it inspired me to make:  Click here for the full 1280x721 image.  Click here for the full 1280x721 image.  Click here for the full 1280x721 image. Here is another one of mine, this one inspired by the fearsome GAU-8 Avenger cannon:  Click here for the full 1280x721 image.  Click here for the full 1280x721 image. I love checking this thread and seeing all the neat stuff people come up with. My love for Lego has reawakened big time, mostly thanks to this thread. I've got a few more of my old spaceships around the house somewhere, I'll be sure to take some pictures for the thread when I find them.

That using of the building corners to make a sort of bay-thing on the back is a cool idea, is there anything beneath it in yours or the original?

It's really awesome that you asked that, because in the years since I had messed around with my ships I had completely forgotten something! In the original, the bay was covering a storage area for a small land vehicle that came with the set:  Click here for the full 1176x850 image. On my ship, the bays are covering a Star Trek-style engine core:  Click here for the full 1280x721 image.  Click here for the full 1280x721 image. I had completely forgotten this was even there until you asked!

It was this or work on my research paper. Guess which one I chose. My favorite part about this is swinging control panel. For some reason, though, LDD goes bonkers when it turns too far. I imagine it's kind of hard to climb inside this thing!

I just rediscovered my legos after they were in years of storage. I have no idea how I got my parents to get me this back in the day. http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/6285_Black_Seas_Barracuda I seem to remember they got a knockoff brand with a similar theme but the poo poo never stayed together so they got the real thing.
