Odds & Ends

I have so many questions. LOL at the "Oh for Fox Sake" mug Strange is holding.

Do you thing that this and other secondary market LEGO related sites have people from TLG that are "undercover" to see what is going on? Maybe to see what the trends are? Just curious.......maybe that is why the DS will never EOL, because we (well me) are always talking about it lol. I am sure they have people that browse the sites, but to go as far as one of them creating a profile and interacting with us....who knows???

The Kings won against the Rangers tonight, 3-2 in Double OT. Exciting game to the end. It's especially sweet for me. I've been a Kings fan since the early 90s (when Gretzky joined the team). I live in San Diego, so my other sports teams are the Padres and the Chargers. Can't stand basketball, so I only have three sports for my champions to come from. When the Kings won two years ago, it was the first time *my* team won a championship. And it's especially cool that it's happened again. This is awesome! One last cool thing - when the Ducks won a few years ago, they brought the Cup to my work (I work on a military base). So I got to pose and kiss the…

Here is an update for sports/hockey fans. (For NHL Hockey I'm a Minnesota Wild fan.) The Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup Final tonight with a score of 3 to 2. I didn't get to watch too much of the Finals, but I heard it was a thrilling series. Was it a memorable Final or was it one you will easily forget? EDIT: I have now added a poll.

Yo! Star Wars Battlefront 3 got announced the other day! Who else is camping out for this haha! Awesome news? Anyone ever play Battlefront 2 on the PC?

Is anybody investing in these? I'm trying to find them at Walmart and they're out of stock everywhere...

It's never too early to start getting ready for a convention, right?! CVII was just announced to be taking place in Anaheim, CA April 16-19, 2015. LEGO generally goes to this so let the whining begin over the various exclusives they will have that won't be readily available to everyone else in the world. But seriously, Star Wars Celebrations are pretty cool and filled with exclusive items just like various Comic Cons. http://www.theforce.net/story/front/Star_Wars_Celebration_VII_Announced_At_CEII_Closing_Ceremonies_153455.asp

Here's a nice little announcement leading into May the Fourth. http://starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-7-cast-announced.html let's get ready for more Lego Star Wars sets and exciting minifigs in 2015 ...from starwars.com The Star Wars team is thrilled to announce the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII.

Just ran across this today....some people are way too creative and have way too much time! http://www.dorkly.com/post/63709/amazing-photographer-recreates-star-wars-with-lego-and-baking-soda

Brickpickers, I am working on a project and would like to know the sizes of some Star Wars UCS sets that I don't have. A lot of the information online doesn't agree. If anyone has these built and can measure them, I would appreciate it. 10134 Y-Wing length and width 10227 B-Wing height and width 10019 Blockade Runner length and width

Saw this last week, perfect timing for this parody what with the upcoming release of both films in the next year and a half. This guy did an awesome, hilarious job. Didn`t see a thread for it, so check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLyNMSkTiGg

Greetings Was recently gifted these different types of bricks and they have these structures. They're called laser pegs. Just looking for opinions on them and if anyone has a cool idea to mix them up with some lego set. They attach to lego just as well. Cheers

I am looking to get back into stop motion animation and wanted a nice software for it. I have already seen dragon frame, but it seemed on the expensive side and a bit to much for what I needed. I would just like a software that will convert a bunch of images into a movie so that I can add sound, export it, and make it go viral. Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm looking for some sort of storage to put single lego pieces in... ideally it needs to be as big as possible and available in the UK... any recommendations? Thanks!

Ok this question is for those of you who HAVE stored or are storing sets in outdoor mini storage buildings. I need to store my sets about 4 shelves worth. in a mini storage building temporarily for an up coming house move. Some sets are packed in boxes per @emazers suggestion, some are in lego shipping boxes and some are just stored on the shelf. Since I'll be storing during the summertime I have a concern about heat. (not humidity). I'm in the South East and the hottest part of our summer kicks in around July/August time. I'm pretty sure I won't be in the new house by July. Anyone with experience with this let me know.

Maybe not your dad, but an influential male in your life? My dad is a railway modeler and I've begun to recognise likenesses between us, mainly: we're both obsessed by something typically thought of as a boy's toy! I looked in his shed today - stacked with boxed up railway models - this shed is big enough to fit a car in. Is this just a male thing - the collecting? Or does it run in the family?

I was in the Stratford Lego store today refilling my PAB tub and I overheard someone ask a staff member the stupidest question I have ever heard. This person walked up holding a small to medium sized Friends set, probably a

I really tried to watch The Clone Wars since the beginning but it only p!ssed me off even more by reminding me of movies I (TPM) & II (AOTC). I also found the stories lame. Ugh... (note: I'm an original trilogy fan. however, I did enjoy III (ROTS) to an extent (pretty much the final 30 mins) and that Darth Plagueis novel fronm cover to cover.) Anyway, I watched the last 4 episodes of The Clone Wars Season 6 on Netflix. AWESOME! The last 3 episodes was the Yoda storyline while the other was about Jedi master Sifo Dyas. Again, AWESOME. Why? The storylines tied into the movies (especially the Yoda arch). Now I know why Dave Filoni and others really …
