Holy Diver Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I'm going to Rhode Island between the 5th to the 12th of this month and will not have internet access. Quote
Lord Of Pies Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I hope you like your new house! In past experiences I have always enjoyed moving to a new house, althouhg packing everything up is a pain! Just out of interest, how did you move your lego collection? I think I would die from shock seeing my Lego sets dismantled slowly! Quote
Zarkan Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 Just out of interest, how did you move your lego collection? I think I would die from shock seeing my Lego sets dismantled slowly! Well, that's exactly why I did not totally dismantle my lego sets. Instead, I broke them into small sections that would both be easy to store and easy to reasemble, which I loaded into a variety of plastic containers and lego boxes that I've saved. The sorted parts were far easier - since all my extra pieces are already in boxes, all I had to do was to tape them shut so they wouldn't open by accident. In fact, in some of the larger ones, I had leftover space, which I used to put most of the components of my town display in. Overall, it wasn't nearly as bad as you might think. It will take a while to get everything back in order, of course, but that's more because my display shelves aren't up yet then because of the effort it will take. My town display will take the most time, but since I know the layout by heart, it won't be a terrible pain. Quote

Emperor Claudius Rome Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I'm back I had a fun time swimming. And I made 18$ for keeping the fire going all night Quote
Commander Flash Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Sounds fun. $18? Not bad for staying up watching the fire Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) It was a Bonfire. I had to drag heavy wood for about hours 6 But atleast I have LEGO money Edited August 7, 2009 by Emperor Claudius Rome Quote
Tinn-man Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Tennessee is a good place to live. I know because I live there ( ). The best part has to be that the LEGO warehouse for the United States is located in either Knoxville or Memphis (I can never remember which). So any thing you order from S@H, you can get in about 1-2 days. Have fun in Tennessee!!! Quote
Dutch Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I thought I let everyone know that I will be gone for a week. I leave on monday and come back friday. So I will not be able to complete any decal request this week. Quote
prateek Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Shouldn't you post this in the Vacation Topic? Anyway, have fun where ever you are going. Quote
Dutch Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Op's I did'nt know there was a Vacation Topic double opp's Quote
WhiteFang Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Op's I did'nt know there was a Vacation Topic double opp's No worries about it. See you later. Topic is merged. Quote
Spyder Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) On Wednesday, I leave for Florida! What's so great about this you ask? I'm going to the Lego store in Disney! I hope to buy mainly Pick-A-Brick because that is something exclusive to Lego stores, and I don't have a Lego store near me. I come back next Friday. Long live the Tuskens! Edited August 25, 2009 by Spyder Quote
Commander Flash Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I'll step up to command the Tuskens for the time for you Spyder Have a good time all Quote
Spyder Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I'll step up to command the Tuskens for the time for you Spyder Have a good time all Thanks Flash. When I get back, I should be able to post at least a few reviews, and buy a couple Tuskens off Bricklink. Quote

I rarely ever did before because of the shipping costs, but since there's not many stories near where I live, I might have no choice. Getting sets really quickly should make that more worth it, I reckon. Edited August 8, 2009 by Grevious Quote
Zepher Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks guys! I'm now officially back, with a nice tan and a more relaxed mind, and a huge yearning to build something! Quote
