Re: Who's keeping count any more.... Brothers Brick: BrickBaron +1

The secret is that both Tyler and I strategically placed the work "Brick" in our user names. That was supposed to be a secret Paul!! :shock: Now everyone is going to change their flickr names. Soon we'll have BrickHam and LettuceBrick, ChumpBricks, etc... and we'll have to go back to bribing the bl...

That would be awesome! Name your price (please make it fair)... ;)

Where are you located? or can you bring it to the July meeting?

Thanks.

Re: WIP - VW Bug - looking for feedback

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I thought I saw one of these a week or two ago but you wrote work in progress so that means that it wasn't likely yours. So I did a quick search to see if my mind was playing tricks on me. http://www.brickshow.tv/news/2016/06/these-chibi-sized-lego-automobiles-are...

Can you mod the bumper cars so they work on power functions too? rotflol
Yes, I was thinking seriously about that. I think I could automate them with magnets underneath the floor, but it was going to require a major rework of the Arena, so chose to do the swing ride instead.

Re: FriendsBrick Review of 41127 - Amusement Park Arcade

Great review Tyler. I love that style (3rd person?) of writing for reviews. If you're looking for suggestions, one thing you could consider adding for future reviews is have some 'bonus' shots with the set including other parts/characters/mocs, etc. eg. Just for fun you could have had Mia visit the...
