Greetings from Northern BC.

Lego has announced a new mindstom system.

This new system looks to be quite an improvement over the older RCX bricks.

Check it out at http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.as ... ntid=17278

the TTX Intermodal Double-Stack Car is now available. Mine was shipped out this morning. I can hardly wait.

Thanks, I just put in a $600.00 order.

I was debating buying the TTX container car until I saw it was on sale.

Thanks again,

your friend up north.

FYI: The Royal Hudson is not a specific locomotive, but a line of steam locomotives. There are 5 lines of Hudson Locomotives. The Royal title came about after the monarchy used them to cross canada. There were two involved in this crossing (both from the streamlined class). Since then the entire fle...

I second that .... feeling.

I suggest a mindstorm building contest next time, with Dean and Paul H as the judges.

Can those of us unable to attend, compete by photo?

cool!!! how many merbers are there? do our user names work in that forum? i know it's a different site, but it seems very similar. Currently about 4 members, only one really active. :-) No, the NBCLC and VLC forums are completely different entities, you can sign up with the same username and passwo...

It is official, there is now a Northern BC Lego Club (NBCLC). We had our first meeting last weekend.

Check out our web site - still in it's infancy, at www.nbclc.ca

Actually Lego is one of the biggest reasons for the expansion. I need a room for building and my train layout. I'm thinking about 20' by 15'. :-)Does that sound about right. We are looking at expanding the main floor by either 70% or just adding another floor. Either way we will have a lot of space ...

I'm in the process of designing a new addition to our house. It will be about 700 sq foot extra per floor - 12 feet for the length of the house.

Any suggestions for the Lego room? Needs to accomodate Building, Displaying and a train layout.

Hey everyone, Canadian tire just put their Mastercraft 39 drawer small parts organizer up for sale. Regular price 24.99 on for 9.99. They aren't the sturdiest organizer out there but they are cheap! Nathan Thanks Nathan, I purchased three of these last week before the sale. I just went back and got...

Great job. They are incredible.

I found the spybots on sale for $59.99 at zellers. Down from the regular price of 89.99.

It will be up for a month and I don't want anyone to have any issues with it.

Thanks.

I like it. Festive, and easy to see.

Costco has this new train set (Set #10132) in stock and on sale, from October 18th to the 31st. Shop at Home price is $169.99 Cdn. Costco's sale price is $134.99. I'm rethinking getting this set at Costco. TRU has it for $169.99, and chances are they'll clear it out sometime for at least 25% off (a...

It's great when you do themes, I think they are wonderful, but this particular one I find hard to read.

I'm going to be moving to Prince George, but will always be on these forums. I'm an avid scuba diver and Port McNeil/Telegraph Cove happens to be my favorite dive area in BC.

I'll look you up when I go diving in that area again.

A few things. If everything goes as planned, this will probably be my last meeting (at least regular meeting). I'm going to be like Kevin and be a distant member. Because of this I have some things stored at my place which someone else will have to take home. I have some inventory that we were given...

As you can see in the picture the build station is almost complete Um..er.. What picture? I don't see one. Look again. There are two of them in this thread. Must be a problem with websense at work as I still don't see anything :x . I guess i'll have to try from home. Got to love technology.

Um..er.. What picture? I don't see one.

Wellll... I'm not so keen on the googly eyes on mine :shock: I modded a head for my own sig fig by adjusting the beard on one with better glasses/eyes. See it here: http://www.lionsgatemodels.com/brickbay/k-fig.jpg Kevin Ahh well, sorry about that. If you'd like to send me a modified head, I'd be h...

I just caught part of an advertisement about Lego, Robotics, and Mars. There will be a segment in tomorrows city pulse news at 6:00 on CITY tv about Mindstorm Mars robotics if anyone wants to watch or tape it.

I think that the icons themself look great, but the particular choice of color and look just doesn't make it easy to understand what they mean.
The choice of colors for their meaning just isn't intuitive, at least not to me.

Other than that, I love the new look of this site.

Great work Dean.
