Hey all, Since I've been out of the loop for a long time there are parts that may have shown up before, but I've never seen them. The collectible line has always been good for new molds. Unfortunately in past CMF lines there have sometimes been new elements that didn't then go into regular use in ot...

Hi,

I really love the way you've constructed the dome on this. Also really fun color usage making it sort of a fantasy setting. I've been out of the LEGO loop for a couple of years and didn't even realize some of those pieces existed in those colors.

Hi all, It's been ages since I've been around these parts, or even been around LEGO.* But I was in a mall today and walked past a LEGO store and was just floored by what I saw. I know none of this is new to you guys, and even though I've been out of the loop I've seen some of these before or even dr...

Hey all, I know there was another thread with some speculation about Series 22 in the CMF line, but I don't think there's been a thread since the figs actually came out. So let's talk about them. Most of these photos are from Jonathan Corbett's Flickr stream, and the links lead there. I'm guessing e...

Hey Inventor, Standard disclaimer - Now that judging is done I can comment on individual contest entries. These are my thoughts only and do not reflect those of other judges.

Huge congratulations to the winners and our new Master Builder! There were so many great entries this year. A huge thanks to Blue who headed this up, and to the team of judges. I had nothing to do with the organization, but did help score the entries, and I have to say it was really tough. I'll go t...

I love the tree - I'd be interested to know if it looks at good in real life (or from other angles) - if so, I'll have to incorporate this type of tree into my builds. Really impossible to say, as he just posts one or at most two perfectly composed shots of each of his scenes. So unless he has a se...

Hey all, Flickr recently announced the [url=https://blog.flickr.net/en/2021/12/07/announcing-the-winners-of-our-lego-build-capture-photo-contest-2021/?utm_campaign=2021-lego-photo-contest&utm_source=Flickr&utm_medium=email&utm_content=winners]winners of the 2021 LEGO Build & Capture ...

AKB, Traditionally we've said that a MOC couldn't have been publicly displayed before the announcement date - either online or at some AFOL event - but that you could have been working on it before. But Blue is running the show so ask her for the final word. BTW, those MOCs that people were working ...

Hey, I'm assuming Bishons = Minoboys? If so, I just wanted to note that I really like that working windmill. The landscaping is good, so it's not just a flat scene, and the use of plant elements helps smooth out the hill and make it look natural, also the curve of the path. The SNOT work to make the...

Hey, Just in support of what Blue said above, as someone who has judged a ton of LEGO contests over the years, it's never been a question of who has the really rare parts in obscure colors, or about who just has the sheer volume of bricks to pull off a ten foot tall tower.* It's about the cool idea,...

Hi all, After long delay, please congratulate our newest CCC Master Builder. There were lots of great entries in last year's contest, but one builder came out on top. Please congratulate jtooker, who came up with an [url=http://www.classic-castle.com/events/ccc/view.cgi?contest=cccxviii&field=cc...

Very cool. It looks a little like Rivendell to me.
