Gasp! I'm not a usual suspect? Anyway, signing up now! No need for accommodation (I prefer my own bed!) and I'll have to be at work for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but I'll try and be around as much as possible Will be nice to see everyone again!

@Vaionaut is an expert with Stud.io, even creating parts from scratch. Would love to attend a workshop by him, nudge nudge I know my way around it fairly well but I'm by no means the expert that Johannes is.

Just for the sake of a complete record: I'll be staying in my personal bedroom. Its a bit of a walk to Lalandia but hey, nothing beats your own bed

Frankly, you are being quite harsh, Stefan, and are stating things that aren't true. There still are plenty of ways to receive support for events just like ours through activity support requests via Eurobrick's ambassador through the LAN. Thats how my own LUG RogueBricks has been doing it for years and it works very well. Following the procedures will still provide the event with sets for prizes and potentially bricks for an event set, if using a project support request, if not more. Sure, that won't replace a visit to the p-shop or the factory but I guess LEGO has to treat every community or RLUG fairly and the same way so I presume thats why this program has been created. And regarding designer meetings I presume between all of us we know quite a few by now, no? I feel the negativity in your post is a bit unjust but I totally support your proactive call-out for shaping a new and different program. I'm certainly happy to help with anything, feel free to get in touch. Regarding activities I like Peppy's suggestion of a treasure hunt and being the local I guess I could be convinced to cook something up, possibly with Mr. Brickthing or one of the other usual suspects. There's a recent addition to the town in the Teddy Bear Art Museum which might be of interest to some, Minigolf in Lalandia has always been fun, and with a few good old games and contests (transparent madness anyone) I'm sure we can kill almost a day between us, no? Whatever the program ends up being I'm certainly looking forward to it!

Considering I moved earlier this year and the distance to the LEGOLAND Holiday Village has doubled as a result I had to think hard... ...but yes, I'm still willing to make my way across town! Looking forward to seeing all of you again! My mom would have loved to attend as well but sadly she's vacationing elsewhere the same weekend.

Myself, @Cecilie, @ace and @Ryushi will be in Chicago attending Brickworld as per usual. Having done Windsor once before I'm actually okay with missing out :) Enjoy the event everyone! Best Markus

I'd like to award Holodoc 100 points for this answer. He's outdoing ALL of you

Maybe a long shot but does anyone have (functioning) micro motors they don't need? Potentially with cables?

As @WhiteFang pointed out I'll be there!

We can talk about it, so far no one had any interest in the figures. PM me what you have in mind. DJ & FO General are yours. Oh, perfect, thank you! Haven't seen the first one in a while so I doubt it but to be perfectly honest I never really paid attention to that set. Airports were still available two weeks ago though :)

Will put them aside for you, thanks! Also thanks for checking :)

As promised I had a look and found the following things I can part with :) Numbers are indicated for the ones I have multiples of. Links go to Bricklink. Minifigures: From left to right: Batman – Classic TV Series [x1]; Robin – Classic TV Series [x1]; – The Riddler – Classic TV Series [x1]; The Penguin – Classic TV Series [x1]; Luke Skywalker (Celebration) – White Pupils [x3]; Han Solo (Celebration) [x2]; Darth Vader (Celebration) [x3]; Harry Potter, Yule Ball Vest and Bow Tie [x4]; Harry Potter, Black Long Coat and Vest, Dark Red Shirt and Tie [x3]. Pirates of the Caribbean Zombie Shark [x2] Minifigures from 850839 Classic Pirate Set [x20+] All minifigures from 10236 Ewok Village without accessories (plus additional Scout Trooper & Storm Trooper that are not shown on the picture) Complete series of Batman Movie 1 CMFs (opened, in transparent bags) Also: I have spares of Series 6, Series 15, Monster, Ninjago Movie as well as German DFB Team CMFs. If you're looking for specific ones, feel free to ask :) ----- Polybags: [x6] [x4] [x5] [x1] [x4] [x1] [x1] [x1] [x2] [x1] ----- Sets: [x1] [x3] [x2] [x1] [x2] [x1] (all MISB, Harry Potter set has a small price tag on the bottom) ----- And finally an oddity: This is an exclusive set that LEGOLAND gave out to Ambassador Pass holders. Its packaged in a gray LL bag and is essentially just the loose parts and an instruction. Never opened. The prices on BL for this are kinda crazy so just make me an offer. ----- Price-wise I guess BL Average -20% works out quite well? But honestly just make me an offer, I'd be more than happy to see these things leave my storage :) I also have quite a few rare minifig parts (Hoth Leia torsos, Rohan shields, etc.) that I'll bring to the event to swap there.

Year of the Dog sets are currently available in the store we don’t talk about :) // @Bfenz

I have a feeling that almost none of us would consider building cars their forte so... Please, join us in suffering! Although allowing movie cars makes this a bit more interesting

If anybody happens to have any of the following polybags I'd gladly take them off your hands: Dr. Wu Polybag Electro Polybag Radio DJ Robot 30606 Nightwing Silver Centurion Polybag Except for Wu the figures on their own would do, too. Thanks for checking! I'll also take a look at what I have to trade. I'm sure I've accumulated quite a few things that I don't actually need if we're being honest about it

Got you covered with that torso. How many do you need? Best Markus

The event is in town, I better sign up! I guess I'll take care of my own accomodation since I live here Small heads-up: I might not necessarily partake in all of the program and will determine that once that has been published.

I hope it doesn't clash with my Japan Brickfest plans (to be determined by good friends of mine I'll be traveling with and a bit outside my control). Very bad manners if I wouldn't show up at an EB event being held in my hometown Very much looking forward to seeing all of you again! Best Markus

Munich, hands down! Connections into Stuttgart are the worst and expensive. There's a reason why I rather take the train from Frankfurt home instead of flying into Stuttgart. You might be able to even get direct flights to Munich, it being the second biggest airport in Germany and LH's second hub.

I won't be able to make the new date either. Have fun emptying the Fabrik!

Thanks, Andy! I made indeed multiple ones of each, to give away as small Christmas presents. After all that's what they are in the first place, with my parents receiving a set for our tree. Thank you! Cheers! He came out great if I may say so myself - really happy with him I try not to stop - I'm definitely building much less than before but that's due to not having my collection with me yet. Thanks!

Hey everyone! As it is tradition by now, my family's Christmas tree will be decorated with LEGO Christmas baubles. After my series of Disney Princess baubles last year I obviously had to create another series of custom decorations for this Christmas. As creative as I am I chose something quite unusual for me as this years overall topic - or maybe I just hadn't build enough Harry Potter creations this year already. Either way I had great fun covering Harry's adventures in seven different baubles with one bauble per book capturing some of the most iconic scenes. I loved working in this totally different scale and enjoyed the challenge to find something more light-hearted for the final three novels that as we all know are quite dark. Here they are - I hope you find all of them recognisable :) Harry Potter Christmas Ornaments by rolli, on Flickr In case you are not that well-versed with the Harry Potter novels or movies I will list the scenes that my seven baubles cover here: 1. Hogwarts with small boats on the lake 2. The Chamber of Secrets, with the phoenix Fawkes fighting the Basilisk in front of the giant head of Salazar Slytherin 3. Buckbeak taking off from the pumpkin patch next to Hagrid's hut 4. The second task of the Triwizard Tournament - or: How to steal an egg from a Hungarian Horntail and survive. 5. Hogsmeade, the tiny village close to Hogwarts that is constantly covered in snow. Fancy a tea in Ms. Puddifoot's? 6. The Quidditch pitch - today we have the grabbing match between Gryffindor and Slythering 7. Diagon Alley with our heroes escaping on the back of one of the Gringotts guard dragons I hope you like it just as much as I do - let me know, feedback in any way is appreciated :) Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Best Markus

Well, I guess I might have to skip this one, too. Which is a shame, with the event being so close to my family's place in Germany. A week later would have been perfect.. *hint* (also that new way of doing Saturday to Wednesday is VERY weird...) My mom might want to take part though

The 1x8 tile is old "Dark Gray" which 2003/2004 got replaced by "Dark Bluish Gray".

Hey all! A surprise leaving gift for my good friend Sanel who fittingly goes by the nickname 'Boga' this was a model I tremendously enjoyed building. I had great fun bringing Boga to life with bricks and even though this represents about 98% of my collection of dark green (which now proudly sits at Sanel's place) it was more than worth it. I wanted to tackle Boga for a while and this now created the perfect opportunity. For some reason our favorite lizard never got the replica out of LEGO it deserved (no, we won't mention the set from back in the day). Boga - Obi-Wan's Varactyl by Rolli, on Flickr It came together quite quickly over the course of two evenings and then a third one after a couple of Bricklink orders brought the sought-after dark green hands and some other small bits for the last details. I especially enjoyed building the head – I seem to have a thing for animals and creatures lately. Whereas the feathers around the neck were totally straightforward, especially the golden decorations cost me quite a bit of time. Well... All worth it! Sanel was over the moon – and so was I, seeing him so happy about the model. Hope you like it - let me know what you think! Best Markus PS: Obi-Wan's fancy new hairstyle obviously results from Boga's speedy movement across Utapau, not my atrocious collection of dark orange hair styles ;)
