Sweet moc ! I especially like the use of the tubes ! What kind of string did you use as electrical wires ?

Well I'd surely join aswell. Still the game seems to take quite some time to come out... We don't even know so many details about the game play.

Count me in

I'd be in if there wasn't a need to chek the thread every day. That'd also give time to the game master

Could you provide us with a link on the said auction ? That would be helpfull for us to see. If the model is "OLI", the legoland mascote, then it is an official sculpture and has been discontinued for some time now so the price seems normal.

LEGO 9V Train Communication III Dear all, As promised in the second communication from the 6th of December last year, we will give you the latest information and decisions regarding the development of the new train system based on LEGO Power Functions. We are still working on the final details and doing a lot of testing of the new Power Functions elements; however, we are again able to give you some more details. First - we will not change the gauge of the rails so there is no need to be afraid that the L gauge will disappear. On the rechargeable battery box we have been working to get the best compromise between size and power. It has been decided that we will use a powerful Lithium Polymer battery and the size of the box will be 4 studs wide, 8 studs long and 4 studs high - this should fit in most of the trains. The already existing standard LEGO transformer will be used to recharge and as the power supply. The existing Power Functions RC Receiver already has integrated speed control. To enable the use of this we will make a newly designed RC handset with speed control capability. All the above new Train related Power Functions items as well as the current battery train motor (with cross axles and wheels) will be available separately through LEGO Shop@Home before the Summer of 2009. As you know we arranged a train workshop in November 2007 where ten AFOLs from around the world: Denmark, USA, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and United Kingdom participated, built with the prototype elements and also looked into ideas and possibilities for new train designs using the Power Function elements. Based on the outcome of this workshop and all the other fantastic input we got from the AFOL community over the last 6 months, our designers worked on the first train set using the new Power Functions system. This set will be truly aimed at the AFOL community to acknowledge the importance of the adult LEGO hobbyists in the LEGO train world. This communication will be the last one regarding the transition from the 9V train system into the new Power Functions train system. Due to all the very valuable AFOL feedback we are far down the road with the development of the new elements and also the new train set. We appreciate all your efforts through this transition which we expect to be fully executed in 2009. Stay tuned for the new LEGO train system coming in 2009.

I'm not sure people can gain some maturity that fast... Be sure you're watched...

That is so funny ! I really laughed at the idea of the army being stopped by the police ! Gay pride on !

Happy Bday Chuck ! Hope you'll get loads of bricks *sweet*

Well here is a very simple explanation : Running EB is a benevolent thing. It's highly time (and money) consuming. Lately J started many arguments with me on every occasion he had. I sent him many warnings, but he obviously didn't care, and lastly used some offensive language to refer to me on the forum. That is something I can't accept.

Amazing MOC ! I especially like the way you managed to render the atmosphear with the dead tree >:-)

The pain in the megablocks comment was of course second degree. As for the forum being slow, Tom and Hobbes worked on it the whole day and it's finally solved !

You've officialy scorred as my new pain in the megablocks.

I definitly think a bit more work to be needed, especially in the photographical aspect. By the way, ever heard of eurobricks being an 18+ forum ?

Credits for the skins go to Brickminer for the iniitial design and Hinckley for the new ones who spent a lot of time deisgning them. Credits for the installation go to Bonaparte who spent his whole sunday working on the switch, aswell as Hinckley, with some appreances or your servitor. Credits for the intial idea for a switch go to Hobbes, who also sponsored the new board version (€€€) Credits for the "screw it, let's rent a new server" go to me (€€€) Credits for general geekness go to us all. Credits for the constant support go to the EB staf mods who gave constant valuable insights. A special thanks to Tomas, who created Eurobricks with me.

I have a pic of the cover but somehow someone turned the upload setting to "off". Just give me the time to crucify the responsible and I'll be back with a shot of the cover...

Add someone trying to push him from behind ! *skull*

Those were expensive sets. Still weren't the monorail molds broken ?

Hey Joebot ! Excellent episode as always ! I'm so glad you managed to make this new one so soon. Now the story seem to go on smoothly. Excellent episode, the best so far in the actual storyline IMO, maybe because it is one of the longest. Great vilain secret cave !

Happy Bday Ras ! May this year bring you all the bricks you're still missing !

You mean starting up his megablocks ? I'd suggest that too

If the point is close to the german and belgium (and not too far from the french one), I might be interested

*bangs his head on the wall* How could have I missed out this thread ?! That's a great creation you've got here ! I see most of the basic questions have been covered, so i'll try to be original : you said you didn't do the church cause it was too complicated, but I assume that this model also presents some peculiars. What was the hardest things to modelize ?
