  1. ...and now for something completely different, a Technic Mini by Sheepo! It has it all; suspension, remote control (with front wheel drive) and even a 4 speed gearbox! Read more about the LEGO Mini Cooper Mark I, and find more smart creations in the Technic forum!
  2. Quasi-request noted. It's possible... but we'd need to be sure of the security issues.
  3. Oky has outdone himself with this really cool transforming Batmobile!
  4. This is horrid news. I never used the service as it seemed too expensive to me, but I always planned to do one one day. I better hurry up! Perhaps, but preparing something to be open source can take a lot of time and money... and projects often still die (or get forked, which can be much the same thing) regardless. I don't think LDD is going away anyway.
  5. Leave the moderating to the moderators please. IMHO there's nothing wrong with discussing pieces in providing it doesn't go too far. Besides, it's not like your post added much to the conversation...
  6. I just recently finished my Unimog and I was looking though this topic. I was very impressed by a lot of the ideas... and annoyed by the time it took to load some of the images. It's against our guidelines for one. But the reason why we have rules on this is; 1. It's a waste of bandwidth for everyone. It's very selfish to assume that everyone has unlimited speed and a generous cap. 2. There's no reason for it 99% of the time. It's just lazy to post an image 1024 x 768 or greater... and plain ridiculous posting one greater than 2000. That 4000x3000 image on my screen was shown at 33%. As an experiment I reduced it to my screen size (which is still too big) and the file size was 80% less. 3. It might even slow EB down because pages take longer to download. True we don't host the images, but it means the connections need to stay open longer. (This is harder to prove.) A few months back we ran an announcement about this for a few weeks, and many thought it was a bit excessive, but it seems people still don't get it. So please, stop posting huge images. 800x600 -> Big enough in most cases. 1024x768 -> If you've got a really good reason (such as a "Where's Wally" MOC) but don't make a habit of it. 1600x1200 -> Bigger than most screens. Pointless in 99% of cases; if you want to show loads of detail many smaller images would be more logical. Wallpapers would be one of the rare cases where it makes sense. Higher -> Completely bonkers. But I've got better things to do (on and off EB) than edit this entire topic so I probably won't remove any images, but I am asking nicely for people to stop it. Sure you can. Resize them and host them elsewhere. I (and EB) do that all the time. On a more positive note I'll see what I can do with mine. Thanks for the ideas!
  7. Very cool! Unlike most I prefer the Fett over the IG-88, but that's mostly because I'm too much of a classic builder to like the feet... I do agree that Fett needs yellow shoulders, like the Cloud City version did, but I'd have used the new helmet. But I love the scene.
  8. Not to my knowledge but I'll be nice and move this to community...
  9. Well I just added this to the registration process; Hopefully this will help.
  10. ....err yeah. Please don't clutter up the BSTF forum with things like this. I realise you're trying to help but the problem is too big to do it by reporting dodgy sales here.
  11. Haven't I said before that pinned topics are often ignored? Maybe we should use the dreaded <flash> on them...
  12. Oddly that image (and the one on the site) is for NXT 1.0...
  13. Updated! Yeah, yeah. Because he's no longer alive... On that subject I'll have to cull this list soon; some members are not relevant for one reason or another. (Some, for example, are banned.) I'm glad you linked to his profile... otherwise the name would be wrong! It's probably smarter to hold off reporting a successful trade until it's over...
  14. Good recreation. I'd buy this if TLG sold it... I know, but real space stuff is always hard to squeeze in. I'm cool with it being here.
  15. Building you are? Hurrah says I!

  16. I'm just sitting on it. I've still got the Versys... and it's probably for the best considering the way I ride it.
  17. Indeed; I've given similar advice in the past. Here's the link! [url="http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=forums&area=topicsubs"]Watched Topics[/url] Watched Topics
  18. Happy Birthdays! Cool photos!
  19. I must admit that I don't really like these models. The car looks to squat for one, the wheel arches don't match, that mirror placement is just plain weird... It still looks like a good set though. Thanks for the review! (I'm one of the Telehandler voters! )
  20. Very nice! I'm going for a ride tomorrow with a guy who owns a R1. (I've ridden it once.) I'll see if I can get some photos. I hope that wasn't your first bike... If I bought a new Yamaha today it'd probably be a FZ6N. The Diavel seems to be a beastly bike, but I must admit that if I bought a bike like that I'd rather buy a VMAX. I've often considered going for that job. Good luck! On other issues, my plan to get my wife on a bike is going good! She's been riding her new scooter to work (Honda PCX) all week. I'd rather her on a real bike but I see this as stage one...
  21. Are you sure you don't mean Market Street? I did a quick search and that was all I could find. What colour was it? Not likely. As a general rule we don't delete topics.
  22. Don't triple post. While we'd like to, we don't read every post. Please PM a staff member or use the report system in future. Gimme 5... I can't find any restrictions on your account. Are you sure about this? As a general rule we don't do that, and the board doesn't easily allow it either.
  23. I don't think you need any help there...
