There's one very important point about consumers, in other words us. Consumers often ask for something, but they don't see things holistically (often they can't as they don't have all the information) and thus even if they are given what they want they actually no longer want it for one reason or another. (Price, quality, unrealistic expectations, too late...) Possible LEGO examples are the recent Factory sets, and the on-line Pick-A-Brick in general and for some people (not me!) the AT-OT set. Companies understand that a lot more than consumers as they pay the price and that's why they don't listen to us blindly. Thus a lot of the time what we ask for will never happen as TLG know from experience and knowing the big picture that we actually probably wouldn't buy what were asking for. It is a shame though that TLG don't share with us their reasons all the time but they are a company afterall. If we knew the reasons for decisions (such as the short life of the Pirates) we'd be able to ask smarter!

Glad to! I hope it's not too tight. Gee, you sure know how to insult a girl. I'm not from a colony. I've killed many demonic entities... but none with this knife though. It is great for hunting and cooking and I'm really hungry! Well on that I can agree!

Happy Birthday! I hope I'm not that annoying to my kids. I try to get what they use/like.

Happy Birthday! Nice hoard!

I'd certainly love to have my knife back at this stage. I've been missing it...

Very cool!

From here...

I'd say so. TLG have been moving to shorter themes lately. While I liked Power Minors it doesn't bother me that much.

Another blank post for future expansion. Still nothing to see here!

Welcome to the Eurobricks LEGO Site Directory! While at the moment it's far from complete, over time we'll attempt to make this a complete overview of every LEGO related website on the Internet. The categories, structure and format are not fixed at this stage, so feel free to share any ideas for improvement. Also please let us know if your site is listed with the wrong info or is in the wrong category. Long term it will be useful if people post if sites are dead. Do you want to get your site listed? Just post a link in this thread with description and indicate the most suitable category. There are some restrictions however; The site must be mostly focused on LEGO. If it's about toys, collecting, construction toys but it happens to have a section about LEGO then it's not suitable. If it's a Blog with of Star Wars MOCs and you happen to make a post about the movies occasionally then it's OK. Sites should not be on a free-host. If they are then we'll need proof that they have been around for at least a year and have been updated in the last month. Sites can only be in one category. We'll update this when we can, most likely in batches. Please don't expect an instant response. We reserve the right to be the final judge on if we include or exclude a site. In some cases we will remove the links from your post if we feel it's inappropriate. Enjoy the list!

By some co-incidence we had someone ask a similar question recently so I've merged the topics.

As much as I'd love more sets I think it's over for now. Ultimately what persaudes TLG is the volume of sales and we must have failed there. Sorry to say, I think there's been too many petitions so I'm going to merge this with the existing Indy discussion.

Cool MOCs! I like how you've catered to both 4 and 6 wide fans! (I checked out the URL... )

I've got more photos you haven't seen... Yeah, I've wanted to do it for a while but I didn't have 7685... or the parts to make it. I got it last month, but at that stage I had recently moved and 8275 (the big Technic one) was in pieces. I fixed that 2 weeks ago, and made 8259 from parts today. Glad to hear it... and I'd love to see it! Sorry to say, nothing kinky or anything. I just wanted to take and share some photos of the recent Bulldozer sets which were obviously designed to look similar and that was the angle I chose.

I was out today and I found a family of wild Bulldozers in their natural element... and look; they have a little one! Normally they are quite shy of humans so I took the chance to get some photos. Pulitzer prize for me? Male Bulldozers are quite large. Note the ripper at the back; only mature males have these. Here you can see them playing together. What a wonderful family! But it isn't all play being a Bulldozer; there's always work to do! Here's the female working hard... ...and here's the male. It looks to me he's not pulling his weight! Look; the baby is working hard too! Now where have the parents gone? Oh! This could be a good time to leave them alone! Note: I built 8259 Mini Bulldozer from spare parts so a few parts and colours are not the same as the actual set.

Solved.

I also don't think the average space ship should even be capable of re-entry. Especially fighters.... but I'm digressing again.

From memory and in rough order (with a few repeated removed to be less boring); Hobart (Australia) Melbourne (Australia) Hong Kong Guang Zhou (China) Melbourne (Australia) Sydney (Australia) Canberra (Australia) Fiji Hawaii Darwin (Australia) Cairns (Australia) Manila Thailand (Including one night in Bangkok) Guam Viet Nam Singapore Fiji Hong Kong Los Angeles San Diego Adelaide (Australia) Rockhampton (Australia) Wagga Wagga (Australia) I could swear that I'm missing one or two...

I know. Why people think thing need to be sleek and smooth in space is quite beyond me...

I'm already on it; it'll be Arch Duke.

I'd just like to say that I don't hate Bale. I just expect actors to be able to act. Call me picky, if you like. I can tolerate him in The Prestige as it's such a great movie (one which he and oddly Cain almost ruin), but The Dark Knight has so little to distract me. I'd really appreciate it if you could share some of what you find funny. The only thing that was for me is the "magic trick" scene. Mostly the entire concept that a time loop as complicated as the one in Terminator is changeable. The initial story of The Terminator was smart; John Conner, knowing that Kyle Reece was his father give him a photo of Sarah and probably shares stories of her. John is a successful leader probably because he has the confidence to keep fighting a unfair battle, which Skynet underestimates. Skynet, which had invented time travel, but is too scared to use it, realises too late the Conner is winning and sends a single Terminator to kill Sarah in an attempt to alter time. John, doing what he knew he had to do, sends Kyle to protect Sarah and destroys the Time Machine. Once Sarah and Kyle meet, it's quite clear how much Kyle idolises Sarah, and for one reason or another they boff, and by some miracle of nature he's really fertile and so is she and that's all they need. He dies... and Sarah being the time travelling genius instantly realises that her new baby is the child that the future Skynet fears and goes off to prepare. I don't know about you, but to me that is a far fetched story, but it worked for me as I saw it operating under the belief that time is constant. Any "change" made is pre-destined and thus will have zero effect. A great example of that is 12 Monkeys.) I especially like the idea that Skynet was it's own destroyer. But the way it is in Terminator 2 makes it clear that the way things were was a quite remarkable series of events, one that would be messed up by a single bit of randomness, such as Sarah "not being in the mood". It's a bit much for me to believe that in a universe with changeable time and multiple realities that the future portrayed in The Terminator would be even vaguely likely. In short, I don't think stories with complicated time loops and changeable time should be linked. They are very hard to write. One I do like is "The End of Eternity" by Asimov.

Ralph_S is at it again with more beautiful LEGO aircraft! This time it's a Royal Netherlands Navy SH-14D Lynx. More here...

Wow! You've even got the folding tale and rotors perfect! If I was to give any suggestions for improvement I would say ignore that Sieggy guy.

Sorry that was a mistake; I got the captions the wrong way round. I love both of the old ones... but not the new one.
