Is this the place to get the Minecraft Lego? Or will it show up on the lego store for cheaper you think?

I know I have plenty of time until "Summer 2012", but I shouldn't have any problem preordering this in a week or two, right? It isn't going to be some limited edition bullshit? Also I'm fully aware the only unique pieces are the printed blocks but I still want the official package.

It's been so long, literally years, so I'd forgotten all about Brick Testament. Seems like he's been updaing all these years, too, so I have some browsing to do  e: I've found a whole new appreciation for how he uses parts for his MOCs.

 Beats chocolates for a Valentines Day present I guess! The thing is huge, and a pretty interesting build too.

I think that the new haunted house that was "leaked" by lego will not be part of the Monster Hunters theme. It looks like a sophisticated adult model to me and not something aimed at kids. Which is great! I counted a total of three new parts in the minecraft set. Im still not sure if I consider the pricing good or bad. It's well under 10c/piece but the pieces are so small it confuses my pricing calculator.

I'm going to the Legoworld 2012 exhibition tomorrow. Will try and snag some pictures for you guys of the cool stuff going on. Walked around the exhibition today (I work at the exhibition hall), and there's plenty of really awesome things.

I think somehow people got into their minds that minecraft lego would be like a ten set theme with custom printed blocks and minifig scale mobs. They did a really good job with the almost impossible task of using one kind of blocks to simulate a game where you build things with a different kind of blocks. The only other direction I could see them going in would be some kind of creeper statuette which would have been a really boring build. As is it's a great little snapshot of minecraft that shows of the creative possibilities of Lego. I wish they'd do a full microscale theme for something other than the architecture. I'd love to be able to buy some awesome micro scale space ships as I have no imagination or pieces to build them myself!

Too bad it's not this haunted house.  Yes, I know we've all seen it a dozen times, but I still love it and the other two he's done.

So I found this recently declassified picture of the little know Trade Federation Droid Army R&D Department. I just figured something as fierce as the Trade Federation would have not picked those colors at all.

The mine craft set is weird. I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't a fairly generic-looking block of landscape with no visible studs in the finished product... At least the characters are nice looking, though I wonder why Steve doesn't have big blocky swively arms.

I had a friend give me a old lego set today, it still has its box/trays/plastic deal and instructions. He put it together once when he was 6 and found it in a closet in his parents house the past weekend and remembered I like lego. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6391-1 It is really neat, and for a 28 year old lego set in very good condition. It may not stand up to some of todays sets but I still think it is neat the set is hinged together so the building can be shut closed and you have more play area. The vehicles really show how far along lego has come .A modern version of it along the line of the modular buildings would be fantastic

I finally managed to locate series 6 today at the local TRU. The display looked almost untouched. I just grabbed blindly but by dumb luck didn't get any doubles. Got the butcher, which was what I was after. Now I think I can give my wallet a break until Monster Fighters comes out.

9 for 9 on Series 6. Of course since the place I buy at pre-labels them it's really easy.  Mr. Kamikaze posted:Not all of us have seen this. Holy crap. It's even more impressive since I believe these are the only things he's built, ever.

The garage door had been done the previous year on the police station, but it was the first time I'd seen it. The sliding cargo doors were new to me too. Overall, it's one of my last LEGO kits as a kid and one of the ones I have the fondest memories of having. The helicopter was a copy of a previous kit, though. 6685. That was a little bit of a disappointment.

I went to Target to pick up a couple things today and as I walked past the aisle something caught my eye. The VW Camper Van for only $80 after tax! Apparently someone ordered it online then returned it so it was marked down for clearance. It's a really cool build and I recommend buying it if you ever see it on sale. I probably wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't on clearance. But some sort of Lego God out there probably just wants me to keep spending more money...

What kills me is how he manages to create chaos out of Lego, the essence of order. The way those planks of clapboard look so organically messed up or those roof tiles all ajar at weird angles... a masterpiece. The woodwork, dear Ole Kirk, the detailing, I know houses like that in my village and it's uncanny.

Admittedly, looking at those things, I'm not really sure they're "Lego builds" by standard definitions, there's a lot of places where pieces are obviously glued together at odd angles, and possibly some cut or altered, it's hard to tell at that resolution. Not that this makes it any less impressive, mind, still doing that much with lego bricks.

I really hope for his sanity that he's just doing the front facades of these and not the sides and interiors too. Incredible work. My eyes just passed over these the first time I saw them, "I just thought huh, somebody posted some random old house pictures in the Lego thread..."
