Hello all, I've finally presented an MoC I've been working on, stop/start, from late 2007 until this week. I've not been that active on this forum recently, but I thought this might be of ...

Hum......yeah i see what you mean. I'm inclined to think it was not a case of mold fatigue though. If so, would lego have really resurrected it for one HP set? <man i had forgotten all about that!> Loved the light grey armor! Well, I'm inclined to agree with you, but my experience of licenced theme...

I love that barrel building method! Looks great - far better than the big Western barrels. I must give it a go myself!

Bleugh. Glad there aren't many things to invade homes here in Ireland - although of course we have rodents from time to time (peanut butter works a treat on traps). I recommend soapy water. Leave to soak as long as you like (even printed pieces are OK except for silver/gold printed or stickered - do...

This ruling is actually a GOOD THING for Lego. It means they will have to do a better job competing, which means prices may come down. The error in logic here in saying that this is a good thing, is that Lego may end up not going a good job competing (perhaps even just due to not being able to sell...

Well, I feel my collection isn't so gigantic now compared to some of the figures being thrown around. I've about 60K pieces from 222 sets, although I have a few kg loose Lego as well - probably another K or two of parts. 730 minifigs excluding loose ones bought from ebay, bricklink, etc. and the Cas...

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I hate the visors. Might just use black helmets with them.

Wow, sounds like a nice reunion/rediscovery. It's amazing how quickly things move along (although I started Uni as undergrad in 1999, and nearly 10 years later I'm still there, trying to finish PhD). Those are some great sets. I'm happy to have the Castle ones myself (even two Mountain Fortresses - ...

The idea of having the knights in distinct colours wasn't that bad, but they should have used subdued colours of navy, dark green, etc. and *NOT* baby blue or violet for sure! I only got my first KK2 sets a month or two ago - mainly for parts (although some are quite interesting actually, like Citad...

Well, while I would like more plain brick*, I do usually want most of the parts in the sets that I buy. I don't want just 1x2s. I want large structural elements, ordinary brick, plates, slopes, minifigs, accessories, modified bricks, vehicle hull, etc. etc. *yes I find bricklink prices too much for ...

My collection has mostly been from buying sets, Castle (80s-00s), City, Space (90s-00s), Harry Potter, Vikings, Wild West, Adventurers, Agents, Modular buildings, Town Plan, even some exo-force. Personally I intend to make use of even the more specialised parts in my collection at some stage - I thi...

I don't think it's fair to compare sets across categories, so I voted on the basis of Medieval Market being the best Castle set ever. I think the only reasons for considering older Castle sets as being better is nostalgia and appreciating their quaintness (although the buildings in MM are relatively...

I sort by parts, but separated into colours where there are larger amounts in a category. E.g. modified 1x2 plates I mostly have mixed together, but black ones have their own compartment, and since getting an extra bag of dark bley and dark red jumpers, I have one compartment for those two combined ...

Maybe it is just an issue with recent ABS in the old mold, the way some new slope bricks have only faint texturing (or indeed none at all).

I think the harry potter ones all have "Fabuland" printed on them.

I too won't know about the Advent Calendar one until December.
