...and I bolded it too just to highlight how much of a dolt I am!

Yes, I'll give it a go. Prices are set at the time for a variety of factors. When a new set comes out the factors have often changed so price comparisons between similar sets from different times are hard. Sure TLG could go and re-factor in everything for the new sets, but for one they probably don't want to complicate things, and also I suspect last years prices are part of the factoring and thus can't be changed.

Thanks to Svelte, classy living has at last come to Eurobricks! I doubt I've got the right style, do you? Find out here!

I think this is your finest work. The roof is just beautiful and you've got just the right balance of plants in the courtyard. I'll be eagerly awaiting the rest of the photos! I think I know the one. Are you trying to make me cry; I really miss Sydney. I was on the floor after reading that! The rest of the story is pretty good too. He'd need to start merging them like Shadows.

I think adding new meaning to "Packaging from S@H".

My bets are on K-Mart. I didn't know that. Even so, for the price they should include a kiss too.

Good spotting! I agree! Perhaps the "macro" button was still on. We could look for a spare. *looks around for a pot plant or door mat*

It's Eurobricks, not Aussiebricks. True we've moved beyond that, but it makes things easier to pick a season timing.

I've had one decently crushed box in over 10 orders. (Please note that I'm from Australia too.) No part damage, but one set (I think it was Custom Car Garage) had a split box, the others just minor compression. Since I collect parts not sets or boxes I don't really care, but if you want a pristine box everytime I'd avoid S@H. Most of my orders ended up with at least some minor box damage. Just to clarify though I've never had damaged parts and I still use S@H; I even did an order today.

As Shadows said previously in this topic, customs. You bet!

ImLost has posted what he calls a WIP; looks pretty good to me! See more here and help him finish it!

Well it seems I stand corrected. I've never heard of this... Go EB team knowledge!

Wondrous review! I downloaded the instructions prior to reading your review and (as it often happens with me) the set is even better than I thought. I really like how this set is made; it achieves wondrous effects without using zany building styles. As you say; it is "seamless but simple" and I think that's a very good summary. As a result it should please most AFOLs. The box shots sure seem to be targeting them! This has to be the best modular set for going high. IMHO CC and GG looked best with about 4 middle floors, the firehouse with 2.... but I think this would work with 10! Since the floors seem to be compatible you only need to buy 5 sets! Sweetie? On the subject of being high, I tend to leave a Batman on my GG, but with that skylight I think he'd be happier on GE! The lack of a tiled floor doesn't bother me. I think it's essential for outside paths, but inside not so much. This is my second favourite modular set (after GG) and I really want it! Parts I didn't realise those new dome pieces were solid; I was expecting just a shell piece. They are going to be wonderful. I must confess, if I end up with this set I'll be substituting the windscreens; I've been needing some of those for years! (Hopefully new Model Team sets are coming! ) I'd probably also sub the baseplate and use grey; I've also been wanting a tan plate. (Considering the upper floors are grey it'd make sense too.) Unfortunately replacing the curved arch pieces would ruin the set so I'll just have to buy some Prince of Persia sets! ...and those windows! 38! OMG! OMG! (I don't like the new reinforced panels, but that's another story.) Comic I think dummies are scarier than Autons, I want to see your Posh Shop, I'm pretty sure he's on meth, and that boy deserves no ice-cream! Contest I love the idea; April? (I prefer your plants too. )

I'm 99.9% sure it's a custom. EDIT: That wasn't there when I made my post..

*I look at the LCD thingy*

Errr.... OK. Enough with the videos. 76% of your posts are in community and you've received one reply in this topic that you've octuple -posted in. It's way off topic and it's clear than people aren't interested. If you wish to discuss this further PM me, but please, post no more non-LEGO videos.

Me too; it's a quite good camera too since it took a photo of my father. BTW, can I have a copy of that Samantha?

The pirate groups have been simplified.

Joe Vig is back... or at least until he drinks! Cool MOC Athos.

You don't seem to be having fun so I'm going to drop the point.

Sorry to argue, but it's not the same. The USA changed from the norm, not vice versa.

That's not what I meant. I meant that $100 for that set seemed insane at the time... now for $100 you get a lot less Star Wars LEGO for your money. Thus it seems cheap now.

List $100 (Seems cheap now... ) I got mine for either $60 or $70 on sale.

I hope that's a joke as well... EDIT: It's true. ...and people wonder why I think Apple suck.

No, each rank has only one picture. To achieve that we'd need to create two separate rank structures... which seems a lot of bother to me.
