Yes, quite a few in fact. Surprisingly, the three smaller Imperial ships all have 'big' names. Basically, you're looking for sets that use piece number 6051 for the bow.

Mixed in with a whole bunch of novels and textbooks was Lagoon Lock-up. It's now fully built sitting on a shelf. Feels good man.

Flavor Bear posted:I will get my fill of PotC from Bricklink. All I want from them are the bottles and scabbards. Made a liar of myself. I went to TRU to try and find s4, and they had some PotC stuff, so I picked up Captain's Cabin. It was, of course, marked up. I only managed to snag the last four s4 figs in stock, but it was a decent haul. Got two rockers, a sailor and a musketeer.

Speaking of TRU, the blacksmith attack is back in stock online, along with a few of the new space sets. Used the 50% off to get it and the Captains cabin for the accessories.

On the topic of Pirate ships I have few of questions. As a kid I owned an original Black Sea Barracuda, and being a kid a ton of the pieces over the years were vacuumed away or lost in the backyard. I still own all the brown hull pieces (I think) and I know you can find the ship instructions online, but is there a site that lists all the pieces that came in a set? And are there sites that sell the missing pieces I would need, even the really old stuff like sails?

This is the most impressive robotics I've ever seen in LEGO.  He has built a set of 'flex-picker' robots. I saw a real flex picker on TV, stacking pancakes in a food factory, they're quite fast. The first camera angle really doesn't give you a sense of the size - the conveyor belts are ten feet long! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7VxCl6w3HS0 And, here is his blog with the details. http://tinkernology.blogspot.com/2011/04/four-lego-delta-robots.html

So I had a few dollars left on a target giftcard, and they had buy one get one 50% off on a bunch of lego. I bought the rescue robot and the dune buggy creator sets. Dune buggy is okay, but I really really love this robot. I am going to spend all weekend building new and different robots.

I just bought a handful of series 4 at a Lego store and I received two ice skaters. How the hell are you supposed to put the ice skaters dress on her? It's really awkward and the pictures doesn't help much.

Middle hole on one leg from the side, both end holes on the other leg from front and back, which should create the two 90 degree angles that make it wrap around. Like the vampire cloak, it takes a bit of practice to get it without wrinkles.

I had never been to a Lego store before, but I would bet that it's pretty standard. It was nice to see the exclusive stuff in person, like the Maersk train & ship and the aforementioned Grand Emporium. I was a little disappointed in the selection of parts available in the pick-a-brick & build a mini-fig sections, but it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I went to the opening of one in King of Prussia PA. They had a fun event going on where you could help build a big sculpture of Yoda sitting on a tree stump. I even got a little certificate for it

For any NoVa goons, the Tysons Corner LEGO store found a pile of set 8080 Undersea Explorer and they've put them out for $11.98. Well worth the investment. They also have another mid-sized Atlantis set from last year for $8, but I forgot what the name is.

Just came back from the Bellevue Lego store, and they had some decent pieces on the PAB wall, including dark red 2x4 and 6x4 wings (both sides!) and the 1x2 'log' bricks in light tan. They also had 5 or 6 bins for Hero Factory pieces...all Chest pieces with a smattering of the little "H" logos I overheard one kid call Hero Hearts. I thought I might grab a couple for unique uses, but I could not find any way to attach them to standard Lego pieces. There were no studs, no holes, no standard bars to use clips on... They also had the Maersk container ship back in stock.

I took a long close look at the hero pieces too, since I've been experimenting with mecha and the joints look useful. You're right, there's almost no way to attach normal lego pieces. I did see a few small spots where some Technic pieces might attach, but that was it.

I've been wanting to pick up a few sets to experiment with the new joints, but my budget is gonna be tied up in this for awhile:  Who knows, I might end up using some hero factory stuff to finish it though, I could see some of those specialized ball&socket combos being really helpful.

LDD fever hit me again, and I went about building a set of modular construction blocks for town house facades: They are LDD-safe, and I'm sure someone can come up with nice palette swaps. Here's an example build:  Here's the .lxf, If you create something new from this, please post it in this thread. https://rapidshare.com/files/459100387/fassadenteile.lxf

I could see these being pretty useful for filling in spaces on club layouts. I've got a building of this style in the works for the future, so this gives me some food for thought in that direction as well.
