Got into the office at 7:30 in the morning, bought the SSD and Imperial Shuttle an hour later. Highlight of my day. I have no idea where I'll put it, though. I might just build it on my bed and leave it there and sleep on the floor, as I don't have any shelves that are four freakin' feet long. Have an of you successfully hung or mounted your sets from walls or ceilings?

Chapters/Indigo had a 20% off sale, so I picked up The Mines of Moria and Queen Anne's Revenge -- now to find shelf space for them. Before checking out, I noticed that the minifigs were on sale too. Figured "eh, why not" and picked up three of each series 6/7/8. Genie, skater girl, and wind-up robot. Not bad, not bad. Then I get to Series 7: first one, space marine, score! 2nd one: hippie  3rd one: second space marine  I think when series 9 comes out I might just buy one of the boxes on Amazon because these little guys are so drat cool.

Heads up Canadians, Chapters/Indigo is doing a one-day 20% off sale on select sets. Some LotR, Creator, Duplo, Games, City, and Star Wars sets. Shelob Attacks is on sale for 20 bucks, and it's out of stock on the Lego Shop site, if anyone is looking to grab that sweet spider.

 Bi-weekly build entryMy flickr account has poo poo itself, so imgur it is. I picked Dutch colours because I'm in the mood to play Civ4 as Willem van Orange, and also because I seriously suck at picking colours. Anyway, here's a space racer!

SonicYooth posted:My grandmother gave me $1000 this year for Christmas. I told my family I was putting it into savings but I just spent every last penny on Lego. Highlights of what I've got coming: Grand Emporium, Fire Brigade, City Hall, Pet Shop, City Airport, Police Station, Log Cabin and Apple Tree House. legogoons.txt Good choices on the sets, the big modular sets are wonderful display pieces, especially if you add twenty year old Transformers stomping on the roofs. EDIT: man, Lego vs booze.... that's difficult. Good luck on the sobriety and props to you for going for it, but Lego is addictive. Like, standing with a calculator at the store checking for the best price-per-brick deal addictive.

I want that on my shelf  more racers for the goon build This is what happens when you spend the day listening to the F-Zero soundtrack: an Ice Planet-inspired colour scheme (no driver, the robots have entered the race) and Alien Conquest aliens who suddenly have a desire for a hawg.   I made sure that it spins all the way around, though I don't know what the best way to hold it would be if it were built. Also, I may have been itching to watch Redline again, hence the giant engine in a dangerous position on a small ship.

As good as the basic Lego wings are, I love love love to see brickbuilt wings. The shapes and colour patterns that can be built are too good to pass up. Really digging the recessed parts, Buttz. Have you thought about just using grills for the engines at the back? Big round turbines are all well and good, but grills, or even more recessed cavities, with trans plates or bricks work well enough as engines.

I get an error saying that there's no db.lif file, and that the model is currently open in LDD. LDD isn't open; reinstalled and restarted a few times, changed the paths, same error. The odd thing is that I can't for the life of me find the db.lif file -- is it supposed to be created by LDD, or POVRay, or the converter?

Should have you ending up in the right folder. hell i think you can even just paste that into LDD2POVray location folder and it should work. Ah, there it goes, thank you. Turns out the AppData folder wasn't showing when I went to Browse for it.

Am I too late for the build? Trying to render this gave an error, something about colours not being recognized. I think I tried going for a Batlefleet Leviathan theme here, just a colourful space monstrocity floating around the cosmos, waiting to scoop ships into it's little mouth.   My vote is for deep sea/underwater.

Build-off entry Anno 2070 has beautiful architecture. It inspired me to make this, a haphazard attempt at housing design fitty years in the future.  Lots more pictures added to the build-off flickr group. No foliage or people because I'm too lazy for that. I just wanted to finish this after fighting with it for over a week. Getting the hinges to align was pure agony. My vote for the next build is cargo/delivery and industry/manufacturing.

Didn't decals work that way? You cut them out, then use a moist paint brush to slide them off and onto the model. Az: sick build. I have very little knowledge of R-Type so I don't know if that's "up to code" or whatever, but it's a great design either way. The lead bit in front of it is a great touch. I'm guessing it's common to R-Types?

Wow, I never thought of this despite the countless hours I've spent watching my friends play Drunken Dark Souls (a shot for every death, fun/sad game). Guess it's time to buy another Weathertop set and make a birthday gift or two.

Are there any places in/around the GTA that have the S11 boxes available? Or should I buy it from Amazon France? As much as I'd like to only have 1 of each figure, I can't be arsed to stand at a store, feeling every little packet, hoping I get them all and come home to find that I've got a bunch of replicas because my fingers can't tell things apart.

Heads up Canadagoons, Toys 'R Us has select Lord of the Rings sets on sale for week 5 of Bricktober, and it includes Tower of Orthanc for 20% off; 200 bucks before taxes, compared to 250 from Shop at Home. EDIT: turns out that was for last week's promotion, and it wasn't even supposed to be discounted as it's an Exclusive set and Lego said they don't want those to have discounts applied to them.

Toys R Us has a few Hobbit/LotR sets discounted. Goblin King battle is 40% off. The US definitely has more stuff on sale. With the exception of last week's triple VIP points, S@H has not had remarkable sales lately.
