Dear AFOLs, It is my great pleasure to announce the launch of the BrickMap website. Made by AFOLs for AFOLs, BrickMap is a compendium of LEGO® related Businesses and Services websites to hopefully help you with any brick need you might have. With time we hope this site will become THE site of reference when looking for LEGO related resources. Please share and contribute. Enjoy. What is BrickMap? In early 2014, Yun Mi Antorini, the Community Strategist of Community Engagement & Events at LEGO® Systems A/S, started a volunteer project to map and better “understand the LEGO® ecosystem.” A group consisting of Rebecca Deak, Christophe Siquet, Boštjan Svetličič and Nathan Bryan were tasked to create an outline for this project. Once the framework was built 24 other LEGO® Ambassadors were asked for their input. From the wonderful input received, an original map of over 2,000 Businesses and Services spanning 62 Categories was created. Once duplicates were sorted out, 797 unique sites (1,169 when counting some sites spanning multiple Categories) remained. Probably, one of the most comprehensive maps of LEGO® resources ever created. From that map, this independent site was built to allow AFOLs (Adult Fans Of LEGO®) to suggest more sites to create an even more comprehensive map. We hope this will benefit everyone interested in finding LEGO® related information around the world. Collaborating together with you, the fans of LEGO®, we hope to create a great resource map “By AFOLs for AFOLs.”

As the LEGO Ambassador for the PLUG in Portugal, I am communicating our LUG's event in Lisbon starting tomorrow (30/04) until the 4th of May. This re-edition of last year 3 days event which received more than 15000 visitors will include themes like: City, Technic, Mindstorms, Star Wars, Friends but also GBC, Castle, Military, a 100000 pieces mosaic built by the public, playgrounds, challenges, games, shopping areas... and much more. What can be better than this? Oh yes, It's going to be sunny with temperatures up to 26ºC.

As the event will end on May the 4th (be with you), we will have a Star Wars weekend and there will be the chance to meet Luiz Gomez - Star Wars LEGO Designer.

What kind of AFOL are you? Are you a member of a LUG? YES - Portuguese LUG Are you actively participating in your LUG? If yes, what do you do (e.g. helping out during events, making displays, etc.)? I'm currently the LEGO Ambassador for the PLUG and I have been trying to be active in this way. Making MOCs is not my best but I try to participate during the expositions by providing sets to display and by helping the public build a giant mosaic (at our latest expo). Would you consider supporting more actively the online AFOL community (e.g. Eurobricks) as moderator, regulator (indexing, ...), making set reviews, etc.? If the answer is yes, where do you possibly see yourself contributing? Our LUG has an open forum (and a closed section as well) in Portuguese where I believe I participate quite a lot. I post once in a while on Eurobricks but the lack of time does not allow me to do much more. If I were to participate more, it would be with sets reviews for example.

The Portuguese LEGO User Group ( PLUG) will be holding its Brincka 2013 exposition from April 26th until April 28th in the city of Oeiras - Portugal Access map

Thanks for the review. It will surely help anyone decide if it is a buy or no to buy book. Technic for teh win

Obviously this promotion is not for Portugal. If anyone would be interested in selling the Vol.4 of this collection, I would appreciate.

I would really like to know if that promotion of the Vintage Minifigure Collection from ToysRus will come to Portugal. I'm just missing the Vol.4 to finish the collection. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to bribe a US citizen

Indeed, it is a nice one. I would like to emphasize that it is NOT my work. It is a project of Conchas, a member of the Portuguese LUG (PLUG). He introduced personally his monorail on the PLUG's forum but in Portuguese of course. I'm sure he would love to do the same here in time. I know he promised videos...

Who has never wanted to see a monorail back on the shelves? Well, I would love to see one back! Especially because I do not have any and my city is in serious need of a good commuting transport. I would like to introduce to the Eurobricks' community the remarkable LEGO CUUSOO project of Conchas: the "Classic Monorail Revamp" It is now our chance to own one of the most coveted LEGO set by voting on this project. More pictures here. http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/25324 PS: I am NOT the author of this project as I said 2 posts down

it would be the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon

A quick question and I'm sorry if it has been answered already. Is it possible to stop a rendering and to continue it later even after switching the computer off?

Great entries everyone. The decision was hard. 1) 1 point 7) 1 point 11) 1 point 16) 1 point 31) 1 point

Something is changing about this... http://technic.lego.com/en-GB/designers/blog/default.aspx?date=08/05/2012

Hello everybody, LEGO usually opens a Technic challenge "Take the Challenge" every year around March. The web page is still working but they have not open this year's challenge yet. Does anybody know why? Thanks

I could vote for my entry as it is not against the rules but that won't help much... So I'm voting for: 13. Chocolate Shop by Cecilie - 2 8. Train Station by cava - 2 4. Inn by Dix - 1 Outstanding job everyone! Great contest! Thanks Eurobricks

I just hope one thing: that they are not made in China. But that's too much to ask nowadays. Otherwise, I just have to say this : :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad: :cry_sad:

Okay, so Brickshelf is still not working... I took time and read everything to open a Flickr account. That was easier than what I thought. I therefore present better pictures of my MOC: Thanks for watching.

Hello everybody! Gee, what a rush! I had everything ready for upload when... brickshelf (BS) stopped working again. I could not believe it. I tried several times but there was nothing to do. Having to open an account on another site was already getting on my nerves when there was too many questions to answer so I decided to attach one picture to the message. I still struggled with that because I don't think I ever did it on the Eurobricks' site. It seems the quality is not too good, sorry I hope I managed to get it on time, otherwise, oh well... I'll talk a bit about my entry. I figured every winter village should have a train station. I think it is the safest way to get there when there is tons of snow! I decided to represent an old building reconverted into a train station because of the colors I own most. I added 4 minifigs of the Series representing a winter theme waiting for the train and there is one minifig behind the counter selling the tickets (not seen on picture). As I'm not used to do MOCs, I tried to make it simple. Especially because my collection of bricks is not as big as I wish it was (I guess it's everybody's problem ) and because I don't have anything sorted out. I do not know the quantity of pieces and I really don't know how somebody can tell that feature without taking everything apart to count them. I'd really like to share better pictures with you and I'll do it as soon as BS starts working again. A good night
