Re: Lego Minifigure Displays and loose feet

It's really hard to say what the long-term effect will be - on the one hand, any two regular LEGO pieces that are connected to each other would theoretically have the same amount of stress at the connection point, and I don't remember any of my sets that stayed built for years incurring any stress-...

Re: 2011 LEGO Atlantis

Even though all 5 new Atlantis sets came out in January it seems like they are sort of stretching them into 2 release. Only 3 of the sets are in the January catalog and the other 2 sets are impossible to find. Atlantis is the first theme my daughter has fallen in love with. Really hoping it gets a ...

Re: Design by me

I did for a while, but it's a lot more fun building with real bricks. It's also easier.

Re: Organized?

My TECHNIC parts are all in bags by color because I lack space for them. I have a LOT. My pins and axles, axle connectors and pin connectors, nuts and half nuts, and a few other parts are in a bin. Other parts are mixed by types, and my 2xX plates are organized within three colors, my 1xX bricks (be...

I would like to see 1.) TMNT - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT would be a GREAT franchise... most of us AFOL's are products of those great Cartoons, and EVERYONE loves them. I also would LOVE for Star Trek to come to Lego... the Ebay MOCs are kind of Ghetto, and Lego could make some SERIOUS cash:...

Re: 2011 LEGO Atlantis

LEGO employees at different times do interviews. At different times LEGO came out and said they made more Agents and Power Miners because of sale numbers. It's also why Agents year 1 had numbered missions and year two was called Agents 2.0. Same with Atlantis, they saw the sales numbers for Aqua ra...

Re: [REVIEW] Collectible Minifigures Series 2

Thank you for you review. How could you tell the figures have different color scheme and do not look as "regular" minifigs? I am interested in looking for a better answer than "because they were made in China". I think it is unfair to label "toys made in China" are bad...

Re: [REVIEW] Collectible Minifigures Series 2

The colors vary. Purple is substancially different, while yellow is slightly so. They are more reflective and feel a bit "sticky". I don't feel my CMF2 "sticky" at all, and they are not more reflective either. It's not exactly major, but in good light you can tell. And it's not ...

Re: [REVIEW] Collectible Minifigures Series 2

Final thoughts. As you all know, the collectibles were made in China, so they don't have the same color and look as "regular" minifigs, and some of the paint jobs look a bit off, but unless you are playing hard with these, I don't think you'll notice a big difference. This series was the ...

Re: 2011 LEGO Kingdoms

I was hesitating but decided to jump on the dragon knight battle pack from s@h last year. To me they look great. Unsure why they are off, perhaps they sold out and are perm gone? They don't seem to be like SW battle packs where they are very abundant. One Lego Store I went to only has the Lion Batt...

Re: 2011 LEGO Kingdoms

Does any one know what is going on with the Battle Packs? I was able to get a Dragon Knight BP at the Lego Store before Christmas, but never saw the Lion Knights. Now the packs have been pulled from the website and the Lego store employees have no idea what is happening with them. Does any one here...
