Debates on Acolyte or Star Wars morality should be had in the Media topic found in my tag below. Stay on the topic of actual Lego in this thread please.

I stand corrected! Glad no one took me up on that bet.

How confident are we that the DnD CMF pics are legit? They look so fake to me.

I'd bet money those "leaks" for the CMF are fake.

That's a really nice looking door you built. And I love the insignia on the wall.

Loving your custom hutt!

Love your shuttle! Looks really good at that scale.

How you managed to build a better white hall-way scene than the new set is beyond me, but you did it. It looks amazing! Getting texture to look right like that on white walls is very hard. Excellent work.

Simple, but very excellent!

I like those micro ships. And your photoshopped laser effects are really nice.

I really like your bounty hunter ship!

Nice Jody, you're making me wish Lego made hoses in trans-red. That adds a nice effect to your build.

Contest is closed. We'll get started on scores soon!

Yeah, once you see the bad sprue marks you can't un-see them!

Thanks for emailing them. Lego has let their quality control decline. I even sent comparison pictures and they agreed with me that Legos aren't what they used to be. If we, their fan base and consumers don't complain it won't get better.

Most of the "leaks" this week have just been re-posts of what we've seen before. I don't think there's anything new right now.

Helmet mis-prints are one thing. That's to be expected and Lego's pretty good about sending replacements for those if you ask. But it's the overall quality control that's really sunk. Compare a piece from today to one from 5-6 years ago. You'll see that the injection mold marks are noticably worse today. And to that the occasional factory scratch, blemish, crack, or mis-print and the flaws add up fast. The quality has gone down and the price has gone up. Complain, ask for replacement parts for low quality pieces even if you try to justify "not needing it", and eventually Lego will get the picture and make positive changes. It's their moto that says "only the best is good enough." Make them live up to it.

Lego's quality control has clearly gone downhill in recent years. And you are correct, for the price they charge we should expect better QC. Please send them a message/complaint. Even if you don't ask for replacement pieces, Lego needs to know we aren't happy with the corners they are cutting. They won't change their model unless they hear from us.

The dark green Viking torso also moved to bestseller. Very happy about that as I plan to get a lot of them the next x2 points rolls around.

I know news is slow right now, but let's not get into wishlisting please.

That's only a few extra days. Should we take a vote and see if everyone is okay with extending the contest 1 week? I doubt it'll take you that long to try again!

There is another forum. I just gave you access to it.

Great to have you in the game!

Form was filled out. You're all set!

Someone at Lego is getting savvy. They see the demand for certain pieces and are matching the prices. Castle torsos just jumped 50%. There are a lot of Castle army builders out there that have been cleaning PAB out every time the pieces come back in stock. It's bad for my wallet but smart of Lego to capitalize on that.
