Indeed he was! Do you have any photos? (I have no photos of my old MOCs. :'-( ) :-P Errr.... no. I meant that "you" are on the ledge, and the classic castle men are on the battlements.... Besides, you are taller than a Lego man aren't you? 8-|

Thanks! *sweet* My daughter loves it. She sees it as a game. :-D It is a bit tiresome opening and emptying it over and over though! :-/ I've been wanting to do a castle MOC for a while so this was a good excuse. :-D That's a bit mean! Were the pieces too scratched? I was careful to use mostly old bricks for the impeller thing-me-bob. I suppose you don't have time to make an entry now... :'-( Not to worry. There is no chance of you getting past three classic castle men who have the advantage of height! ;-) :-P I haven't seen it so i'll take your word for it. I have heard that it's selling OK though. :-|

That's pretty cool! *wub* Those wheels work really well in this and black and red always look great. Try to keep a Mech in reserve for the contest! ;-)

My first thought was the same; it reminds me of an alien bending over! :-D Cool! *sweet*

Well I suppose that would be one way that they could do Pirates again, and something new! :-P I don't think it would please the fans, and probably no even me. Most "pirates" these days are just guys in a speed boat with some guns. The supposed new harbor sets should cover that anyway! X-D

*sweet* Space lives on! I'd rather any space than no space. The aliens don't bother me as while they sure are lame, they are only a small part of the set.

Here is mine; a fortified windmill! :-P What is this to do with the competion? What? Who said that? Look at the top. Go on... See? It's a money box! Wow wee. But it's not just any money box. Turn it around. Go on. *sweet* Notice those gears? So what? Turn it again. :-| Oh look, it's the back. Remove the back o rude mysterious voice. Bleach! You bought Knights Kingdom figures! I was young! I needed the Lego! :-$ But you see I have found a good use for it as I needed a Lego piece to hold the money. :-P Moving right along, notice this thing? This catches the money, rotates under the weight, and then via some gears turns the windmill. Isn't that cool? Sort of I suppose. I'm still feeling ill over the Knights Kingdom figures... Does it actually work? Better than you would think actually. It took me several redesigns to get a good balance of gearing as well as the right design for the impeller thing. My first design was just a "+", but it didn't work too well. The insides that you can't see have some slopes to guide the coins as well as more gearing so it has about a 1:4 ratio. I would show this but I would need to break the front. Go on! Break it! Errr... no. But I might take some other photos later. I'm not happy with some of these anyway. Here is the other side. Is there an interior? You are annoying. |-/ As you can see, no. The door is just for show. Can I go? Yes. Please do. Now that he's gone, I hope you like it. Thanks for looking! *sweet*

If that's what you prefer. It is your contest after all. ;-)

You could be right, but I wouldn't know as my father was born in Poland. X-D

I can't see a problem with that. My MOC might take some time to make anyway. :-P

Yes. I was planning on making one anyway. It has been a while since we did a Mecha contest and we have a lot of new members who I think would be interested in this.

I am working on mine right now. It has taken longer than expected... 8-| I hope to have it finished and posted in the next 12 hours. *sweet*

My pleasure! You will need more details than that however! How about; Theme: Make a vehicle that can be changed into a robot. (Think transformers.) Format: Freeform, but you should be aiming at minifig sized. Length: One month building time Forum: LEGO Space & Mecha Categories: One at first, but if there are more than ten entries this could be changed to make voting easier. Eitherway, there will only be one winner. Prize: Supreme gloating power. Well I did it for him! :-D

I somehow doubt that you have read this. To save you the time, all contests must be approved now. Post your idea in that topic and until then consided this on pause. I am interested in the contest however. I have been planning on trying to make a transformer for a while now. *sweet*

The pirate situation is becoming worse worldwide and it doesn't receive the media attention that it deserves. Several times while I was in the navy were were shadowed by pirates, but whenever they got close enough to see what we were they ran off. Not sure if it was because we outgunned them or because we were Australian... :-D

In Australia we learn maths at school. ;-)

...and I thought I had it bad! I like that idea. *sweet*

Thanks. *sweet* It isn't that hard. It takes under five minutes a day to keep it updated. Hmmm. Would there be any perks?

Don't worry, I have a plan. I'm going to buy a second Paddle steamer and walk to your house.

*reads note* That is why the universe put us on opposite sides of the planet. ;-)

There's nothing to forgive. *sweet*

Oh! :'-( Sorry! I could swear that it was wrong but looking at it again I can see it was I that was wrong. I'm sooo embarassed. Will you forgive me?

Happy birthday! *sweet* Did I ever mention that I think "Code of Hero" is one of the best episodes that I have seen on TV for any show? I still cry watching it too...

Added, and welcome to Eurobricks imperialforces! It's funny how several people made their first posts here. It would serve me right if everyone who owns one joins EB just to tell me their number. :-P

What said that, something up your nose? Surely you can't be refering to Yoda, as he said; X-D
