It's an awesome theme. I personally didn't like the Halloween one - I'm not a fan of dark coloured pages. This Christmas one rocks. As said above, it's very professional looking!

Yes, I indeed have seen his works and MOC's many times. I semi-know him: I've never personally chatted with him, but we both post at the same forums and stuff. If you're interested in his works, I guess I'd ask if you've ever seen this site: http://www.littlearmory.com/ Jeff, owner of it, makes ABS ...

I estimate 80,000-100,000. Maybe more, but I doubt it.

Here's my LUGNET set list. Of course, that doesn't include all my other pieces that weren't straight from sets. (Like a 6000+ piece tub I got from a friend of mine)

Castle Gate

Hi all, After much waiting and many delays I've completed my Gate MOC: http://www.mocpages.com/user_thumbnails/jalangrish@hotmail.com/www.brickshelf.com_gallery_j1a3l5_Gate_gate01.jpg I'm not sure what more to say, other than as always, constructive feedback, good or bad, is always appreciated and m...

Well I'm waiting for a shipment of figure parts from Denmark before I finish a MOC.

I did start a small PCS ship, but I'm unsure if it will ever be completed. (I really like the beginnings of it, but the rest I'm having trouble with)

I wasn't so much meaning the canopy choice (Which in a case like this I like better than either of the other two you brought up) but the assembly around it. It just doesn't look that sleek at the bottom or sides. It looks sort of blockish (or plate-ish?), at least in my opinion.

Okay, but sorry, no thanks. I'm only 15 (set is much older than me) and there is no way I can afford that right now. Not even close. However I'm sure a set like that would be definately worth it to some castle people - Try putting it in the Buy/Sell section on classic-castle.com - It might generate ...

Re: LEGO® Sets For Sale

Knights Joust 383 Am I correct in thinking that the figures and shields have decals, not printing? May I ask what condition the decals on that set are in? How much are you wanting for that set? It interests me if the decals are in good condition, but I don't have a lot of money to spend right now. ...

Awesomeness. The VTOL is just cool. Not sure about the cockpit part of it, but the main body of it rocks. Gotta love the huge cannon. I also like the simple but effective design of the smaller cannons - The ball joint gives it lots of movement. As for the Space Police ship, I love the design of it. ...

I am getting tired of you putting down every MOC you see here. If no one got anything the least bit critical said about their MOC's, no one would improve. I was just pointing out what my thoughts were about it. I thought I was civil, and wasn't all-bad. I generally don't respond to a MOC if I have ...

Nice ship. I like the overall design and shape of it, but some of the piece choices I don't like as much. It seems like you used a lot of these newer, more pre-made pieces, and less of the more original and standard pieces. Although it's a nice ship, that doesn't impress me as much. No offense, but ...

May I ask if they are 100% complete, what sort of condition they're in, or if they are ( :shock: ) unopened? If they're complete and in good condition, both those sets would be worth a fair amount. If they're MISB, or Mint in Sealed Box, the worth would be through the roof. Of course, if they are in...

Thanks, I'm glad you too like the "clean" look of it. I was expecting a fairly negative reaction to it, because of it's large plain walls. I was nicely surprised. I personally like the solid grey walls, although I played around with adding dark grey bricks into it too. About how many 2x4's went into...

Castle Corner Tower,

Hi all! I just finally finished a "little" castle tower I've had in the works for a while. I was waiting on some pieces I needed to finish it up and then I finally got the money to get them. I think most of what I would write about it here is explained in the link, so here it is: http://www.mocpages...

Nope, non damaged but it was very hard to recreate properly. I almost took half of it apart and just started over. The magnets just aren't really strong enough to hold the bottom halfs up if they're bumped. I find that I'll push it back up and the next day it will be back down. As you can see, the m...

I have a question for you. What was the instruction booklet like? Or even better, do you have a pic of the instruction book?

It works for me right now, although yesterday it wasn't for a while. I've noticed this for about the last month or so, sometimes it seems to be down, although maybe only for a few minutes. Maybe Kevin is upgrading again?

Very nice ship! My only real complaint is that it just has this sort of 'look' to it because of all the flat plates with studs used on it. I feel like there's some aspect of it I don't especially like, and yet I can't figure out what to change for it. Very nice angle work at the front too, although ...
