I recently got the new White house set.
I plan to post my review here soon.

Good! I hope for my birthday (20 days to go!) I get Hogwarts Castle and Freeing Dobby!

I got my two BlueCoats today! Sadly one is missing the epaulette. :(

*Pats Back* It's okay...*sniff* it's okay, there is always Bricklink though!

I got two new set's, the Raid VPR, and the prison carriage ambush. Great sets. I hope to get hogwarts castle, I love the Harry Potter series.

I know! I'm looking at the reviews and the catalogue just thinking "I'll have you now!" But that's irrelevant, because I'm not buying Vader's TIE...

I love Brick Arms so much!

Soon I'll be making an €80 Brick Arms/Brick Forge/Amazing Armory order! I can't wait!

I love brickarms too! They are just amazing! I want to get a whole batch of the new ones. My next brickarms order will total about $80.00.

I don't like custom parts. I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me. And also i don't like taking apart sets, that's why I can't make good MOCs. I need to go to LEGO Rehab! Not just for this, but for going crazy and opening all of Series 2 at once! Ah! But I'm not going to post in here for a while, until I see one huge, and one small box on the table at my birthday! (Also 1 or 2 minifigs)

I just found the series 2 minifigures in my local toyshop so I bought 4 and I will be going back next week for more.

Yes, they are all great. I use the afro way to much in customs!

Well, JCC already knows this, but yesterday my brother went to get his new car and he and my father went to the super market on their way back... they were nice enough to get me the camper set... I love my family!

Also watch the Mafia Games forum closely, soon I'll be posting the intro comic to the game, I'll be taking the pics tomorrow(I get out of school three hours earlier, thank god for the difficulty to find a decent english teacher on short notice!)

Also my school/Hogwarts building(from the left side of my avatar pic)/ Wayne Manor should be getting a roof soon, so look out for my Moc's 'cause they are coming, I guess I'll start off with my Arc Ivory gunship(even though I already posted the slave 1) and then maybe do a review of my MOC Batwing(finnaly I made one that looks good and fits 2! it was the first time in YEARS that my brother built alongside me, I only asked him to design, but I guess every now and then even guys who didn't particularly like to build, like to get the bricks out of the old box, and it was cool of him because it was during the world cup and Portugal was playing while we were building(he likes football ALOT!))

Cheers.

... what you call soccer... last time I checked Portugal didn't have an American football team...

How was I supposed to know I'm an american who only cares about the U.S and Canada.

No problem, the americans still provide me with hours of entertainment with their epic fails that they record and post on youtube... no racism intended...

Well I never do anything stupid so I am not offended. (Trip fall break arm get back up trip again then start to cry.) Never do anything like like that.
well..... maybe

Raided Target for the Collectible Minifigures; got these:
Disco Man
Mime
Lifeguard
Spartan
Pop Singer
Karate Master
Witch
Ringmaster
Weight Lifter
3 Traffic cops
.
All without using the barcode sheet, or feeling them up. I'm just. That. Good.

Good pick! they are all great, having them all. I got them all the day before I had to go back to school, and I quoted, "I want to go back in style!"

Ha lol.

And I hope "I leave in luxury!" I will be talking about my birthday, and getting Hogwarts and Freeing Dobby a lot, so if someone whould to be so kind as to put duct tape on my mouth, that would be great!

Sorry I have no tape for Air Ducts.

I just got 8,000 white 2x4 for project DOPI. :classicsmile:

Crap how did you get 8,000 white 2 by 4? That is $1000+ I would never have spent that much on white 2 by 4 pieces when I was twelve.

Long story, but they are for a 6 foot tall ipod sculpture I will brickfair. And I didn't pay any where near that much.

No I have school.

How could a twelve year old get a hold of that amount? I'm 24 and would have a hard time. Also your profile used to say your 19. I bit baffled....

I'm getting some figures for my birthday (thanks to my brother JCC)

Alamut Merchant
Calvary Lieutenant with Blue Kepi and White Scarf
EDIT:
Dr. Charles Lightning
Johnny Thunder
Peasant Old (MMV)
EDIT:
Senate Commando


I'm so happy!

I was afraid that a younger person would not get repect here, like all the other forums, but now that I see that there are other twelve year olds, I changed it to my real age, sorry. I got them off craigslist for $200, It was some lady who husband died and was selling his collection, she gave me the estament of 8,000 white 2x4s.

Used, but not yellowed. Forgive me for lying about my age at first.

No problem. :classicsmile:

Also I think I'm probably going to score a complete(may be missing a few little bits but may not) Jabba's Sail Barge for 70 bucks.

I got it two years ago for €60

Well, maybe you could tell JCC some stuff about it, he'd probably appreciate it.

Uhhh... Its brown... Its pretty big... It has some cool figs... Did I mention that its brown?

Seriously though I broke it after about a week, I never keep sets built for long, Its a good set though. :classicsmile:

I try to keep my sets in mint condition.

But the whole point of Lego is to build your own stuff, I never saw the point of not breaking your sets.

Brickfoot7 wrote:I try to keep my sets in mint condition.

Same here. I have to make sure everything is in good condition and complete. My collection is near-perfect as far as I know. A few of my figures lost a little god on their printing, but that's it. Also I like restoring some sets if they don't cost a fortune in replacements.

I have to agreee with Wacky. I tend to take apart my sets too. I have to resist the urge so many times, because it may have one piece that I really need, but than I remember bricklink.

I just don't want too, I agree with JCC and Brickfoot. I regret taking apart some sets (Battle Packs) and I don't want to any time soon. Some sets have great parts, but are too cool to destroy!

The only time I don't build the sets for display is when I buy them for pieces.

Brickforge order:



Brickarms order:

What I know I'm going to get today for my Birthday:

Nice! I have all that stuff except for the castle and the keychain and they're all pretty awesome!

I can't wait! (Just a few more hours, Empire, just a few more...)
