Crownies sounds most like my life. Just sitting there doing my stuff, and I keep getting attacked by (what I view as) evil forces.

I built a set at a funeral for my grandpa (R.I.P. 1919(?)-1994) I barely knew him...

No Pirates? I would go with WW. I liked that line and thought it had a lot of potential, but they stopped it so early...

Castle right now. I used to be heavily into Pirates, Wild West, and some space stuff.

Somehow, I have a feeling that Lego won't want to release sets explicitly showing people of two religions fighting each other over, well, religion.

The old dragons looked weird. Maybe it's their pose...it's like they're bending way backward all of the time, more like a statue of a dragon than a (hypothetical) real one. The new ones look better IMO.

Well, people of different races still have the same colour skeletons, so it would be rather silly, don't ya think? Of course, there are those black skellies in the Castle line, but maybe they're explained by some type of magic.

I never leave any Lego in boxes either. Last year, I opened a couple from the...I think late 80s. Lego is meant to be used and enjoyed, not sit in a box forever.

Well, Vaders_son, if I did that, I would have about -985000 bricks left! I wonder if anyone here has a million bricks...

It would be awesome if he made a train out of nothing but trans elements. Will we be able to see the MOC more clearly?

I've seen the Spongebob sets at Toys "Ya" Us in Germany. I'm still waiting on most of the 2008 Castle stuff to show up in stores here...they just have the impulses and 2007 stuff. Well, I'm going back to Legoland at the end of June.

I hope Lego comes out with a good witch, as I could use one for the Lego castle story I want to write (illustrated with pix of Lego). Who says witches have to be evil? Lego eventually gave us a good dragon (although the evil ones don't look evil or anything aside from the colours)...

Easy. Just have one sit behind (or even above) the other.

This page on BrickWiki should help. One LDU is 0.04 cm, so essentially a brick one stud wide is 0.80 cm wide and 0.96 cm high (not counting the stud itself, which is 0.16 cm). There are three plates in a brick, so they're 0.32 cm high (again, not counting the stud). A 2*2 brick is the same width as five plates on their side (just imagine that I'm saying "not counting the stud itself" over and over again). I can't find much about fig dimensions. They seem to be 4 bricks high (that would be 3.84 cm), not counting headgear, if that helps.

Nothing about uphill both ways barefoot in the snow? My family was like middle-class, but a lot of times they basically lived like they were poor (like this sometimes). My dad's extremely stingy. We lived in a poor redneck area in the Thumb of Michigan for 8 years and I was so glad to leave when I was 18.

The thing about the Lego road plates reminds me of when I played with Micro Machines a lot in my youth. Some of the roads had lines down the middle, but the cars were much too wide and almost took up the entirety of both lanes. All the streets had to be one-way because two cars couldn't pass each other! I'm originally from Detroit, and it seems like 50% of road vehicles there are big (personal) trucks or SUVs. Hummers are common. Blehh. I must have been the only one there whose main vehicle was a bicycle.

Plural's of word's don't have apostrophe's, ya know. I used to say "Legos" but I switched to "Lego" as an adult. My parents still put the s in there. Similarly, the plural of the currency of Germany and 17 other European countries is still "euro", not "euros", and it is split into 100 "cent", not "cents".

I know what a MOC is, but I was puzzled as to why Walter Kovacs included it in his count of sets. Normally a MOC is something you make from parts of sets and/or loose bricks. If you buy King's Castle Siege and Skeleton Ship Attack, that's two sets. If you then use the parts from those two sets to make a MOC, you don't magically have three sets. You have two sets, from which you have created one MOC. A "set" (at least in my definition) is a group of parts you buy from Lego (or which ultimately came from Lego) that Lego says can be used to create something, not necessarily the thing itself. So regardless of whether you're using King's Castle Siege as itself according to the instructions or as a collection of parts to form part of all of your own Lego creation, it's still one set.

I have the reverse situation...my default face looks happy, even when I'm pissed off. It once threw off a psychiatrist so much that he decided to lock me up!

That's essentially what my hair looks like. Well, if there was a dark brown version of that piece.

I've never lived anywhere where people come and clean. I just grew up with the expectation that whoever lives in a house or apartment cleans it themselves...

A MOC is a set? Is it from Lego Factory then?

Hey, who says guys and girls need different hair lengths? I'm a male with long hair (well, physically. Mentally, I'm kind of between genders. LOL.)

It says the folder isn't public yet. I think you need to link directly to the image ("deep linking" or some such) until the Brickshelf mods approve the image. I would use some of the extraneous plastic, too. The sprues the gold coins come on always end up in my treasure collection.

No, don't eat me! I'm not really cheese! *runs away in terror* Cool brick-built animals, and also a nice use of the beard piece to represent milk falling into the bucket.
