Do you mean this?

He talks about; -A little about Hinckley -How/why was Eurobricks started? -What can people find there now? -Has LEGO ever contacted the site about leaked images? -What is in the future for EuroBricks? You can find the podcast (gee I hate that name ) here!

Aussie sales! Share the news of LOCAL sales!
Siegfried replied to Darth_Legois's topic in Buy, Sell, Trade and Finds
Ahhghhhhh! Thanks for the news... but this might be getting me in trouble... -
I recently bought this set for my daughters birthday. It's the first BELVILLE set that I've bought for her so it's a bit of an experiment. The house is 5 rooms and it's made up of mostly large pieces. There still is a decent amount of normal LEGO in it though. The doorways in the house align when it is opened out. Starting with the bathroom, included is a shower, toilet, sink with vanity and a baby potty. The mirror sticker is one of the few that I put on. The open plan lounge/kitchen/dining room is well appointed as well and it has a nice glass table and coffee machine. The kitchen chairs are Fabuland parts... and don't work really well. It seems they are having jellyfish for dinner! The clock is the only printed part in the set. Upstairs is a baby room and the master bedroom. The radio and the TV (not shown) were stickers to my disappointment. Up top is an extra room suitable for reading. (Those antenna things were made from spare parts by my daughter. I have no idea what they are supposed to be... ) There are some stickers that go on the back, but I didn't put them on. As it is the set looks OK this way, but since it is a dolls house it doesn't really matter. I do think though that the fireplace should have been given a back. The BBQ is made from normal parts and is quite effective. I think it uses the same light brick that's in the 4998 Stegosaurus set. My kids were using it as a torch before my grumbling ruined their fun... Like all BELVILLE sets, the highlight is arguably the accessories. I'll be borrowing a few of these from time to time... Here is the controversial baby catapult. As you can see, it works OK, but LEGO probably should have tried a bit harder. We also bought for her 7583 Playful Puppy. It also comes with some nice accessories, but not enough to justify buying unless you want the rest of the parts. Poor puppy; where does he sleep? Here is my daughter assembling it. She made me make the house though as she wanted to play a game we bought her. (Note the LEGO drink bottles! ) I didn't take any photos of the figures as they don't seem to be anything new, but I can if people want me to. At the time I was in bit of a hurry as I took these before bed so I wouldn't be stressed if the kids broke it the next day. Overall, these sets seem overpriced to me, and hard to justify unless you actually want a buildable doll's house. (Which we did.) It's still too early to tell if my daughter likes it or not... but at this stage it seems she lost interest in a few days. She does tend to go back to toys though.

Last week I got my sisters kids old LEGO. It was mostly bionicle (which I gave to my kids) but there were also some good sets in there! I also gave my kids the M&g@ Bl*ks and other parts I knew they would like and I gave the bin the other clone bricks. Aside from that I have been given some from a friend last year, that was mostly girl targeted sets.
-
Yeah. I've been giving this some thought and I decided...
-
They take one for you...
-
I recall it was a donation.... but that was five years ago now. (I'm getting old... ) As for the climb, that's about the price I remember. What bothers me more that the price thought is the camera restriction...
-
Yeah; I live there for three years. I never did the tour either as it always seemed overpriced. But I did climb the stairs to the museum. I didn't know about the $10 deal though.
-
Dare I ask why?
-
Well he isn't that bad looking but aside from appearing rather tense she is the better looking one.
-
I'm not sure if you have noticed it, but we are trying to reduce the number of pinned topics.

That's pretty good! Nope. It's a Bell 212 which is the civil Huey. They even say so in the scene.

Double....

CONTEST: Design your own Indy Movie! DISCUSSION
Siegfried replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Licensed
I always planned the tag but I wanted to make it a surprise. (As for the maths mistake... oops!) -
CONTEST: Design your own Indy Movie! DISCUSSION
Siegfried replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Licensed
Well the voting is over, and we have a winner; svelte_corps with 36 points! (Runners up were Batbrick at 26 and Oky Wan Kenobi with 23.) Congrats svelte_corps for not only being a good reviewer but a good MOCist as well! Oh, and 75% of the voter thought SlyOwl's MOC was odd. I want some of what he's having... EDIT: My maths sux in the morning... -

CONTEST: Design your own Indy Movie! The Vote
Siegfried replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Licensed
Well I suppose I should be voting! Best MOC: svelte_corps. Both Batbrick and Oky Wan Kenobi were close for me... but that stone circle won me over! Best Story Idea: svelte_corps. Yeah I know. I say "don't vote for the same person" then I go and do it myself. But I always wanted a Indy story away from jungles and deserts... Druids would be a nice change too. (No I'm not biased just because he is the only person to show interest in my MOC... ) Oddest MOC: SlyOwl. I created that section, just for him! I knew I couldn't vote for him as the MOC was decidedly un-Indyish (yep, new word), but it was cool just the same. Even so, Fat Tony almost stole my vote! Remember, voting closes today.... -
CONTEST: Design your own Indy Movie! The Vote
Siegfried replied to Siegfried's topic in LEGO Licensed
I did and I want to but I've been really busy. Thanks for showing interest though. I'll try to find time this weekend. -
That's going to be so cool! I'll have to buy them all... but I'll probably just get a few.
-
OK everyone, calm down. I don't like clone brick either; in my house they go in the bin if found. But there's no point in venting here. Please, if clone bricks makes you angry, just move on to another topic. This one could be a good choice...

New TECHNIC sets for 2008
Siegfried replied to Conchas's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thank you! I tried a few days ago and had no luck... The new diff looks to be designed for easier assembly. At this stage I think the old one was better... I'll look forward to the review. -
Very true, but you're the one writing essays here. If you want to debate further please PM me.

Sure it was. You did a one sentence post with a link and nothing else. If you said your opinion and then added a link you might have a point, but what you posted is purely promotion. Your post before about "Twilight" was a bit better as it included a picture, but the link was still there. We agreed to let you mention the site out of kindness, and you are abusing that offer. We never said "Feel free to promote your site with every post.". As a reminder, what Hinckley said was; It's been announced, and it's in your signature. Yet you aren't happy with that. Don't try making out that we are the meanies here.

We're happy to let you advertise your site... but lately all you have been doing is that. On your own site you have a rule that Writing of threads/posts solely dedicated to "come and visit my site!" is not to be tolerated. We have a similar one; "Please don't use Eurobricks as a billboard." Please keep this in mind.
