I’m about to head out. I might even >gasp< be early. I gotta make sure I get dibs on the good parts bin, plus I don’t wanna be late for pizza, cause I’m starving.

>> it’s real, available for preorder
Sweet! I was thrown because the .jpg file name includes “fake-space”. I think you meant Pretend Space, that’s the official term now.
I had thought that somebody had come up with it as an alternate build or something, even though to my knowledge, those wheels hadn’t yet appeared in that color.

>> A trans-purple rover with space plant
Aw man, for a second I thought this was a real set. It would be a much more practical way to get the parts I want that are in the current Friends Space set.

Sorry, I somehow missed this one. Also, I’m not sure how serious you are here. I did see that Greg’s yellow castle is still available. But I took mine apart in the fall of 2014. I foresaw no opportunities for reusing it as it was at…[Read more]

The 17th is out for me. I will probably be out of town the 30th. The 16th might work. But I also didn’t make it to the last one, so don’t schedule for my benefit.

I was suitably impressed also. Every time I thought the video was about to end, he’d do another one and I’d think “Oh right, that’s an option too.”

I’m curious as to whether or not anybody here still has their physical Lego VIP card from back in the day. I still have mine, and I still use it because 1) it’s easier than having them look me up by phone number every time, and 2) I want everybody at the Lego Store to be suitably impressed with how awesome I am. And to their credit, they always…[Read more]

Btw, my registration payment went through, and I was able to reserve a hotel room. The website is not giving any time frame on when I should get an email from the HI about contacting them with a credit card (I’m pretty sure in the past it has actually said “within two weeks”). It’s definitely telling me I have a reservation, and that I don’t…[Read more]

I have four 2x4s (visible in my Space Computer Station, link below, if Word Press allows it). I can no longer remember what years I got them, or if I got them all at Chantilly events, or if I also picked some up at New England or New Jersey (which I only attended in 2016 and 2017), and there’s no way for me to check that. I’m also pretty sure…[Read more]

1pm on the 18th works for me.
I was too slow on posting about the games we played at the last one, but I’m going to continue my tradition of making up names that better describe them. I didn’t make it in time for Tin Spin. Quacks of Quedlinburg I would call the Don’t Let Your Potion Explode game, and Skull I would describe as the Micah…[Read more]

>> One of the years at Brickfest live when you bought a goodie bag you got a Brickfest live minifig. Not sure how they got away with it.

Did they make a Geppetto minifig? You could try and position him as “Pinocchio in progress”.

We don’t need a lawyer for this one. To start with, it’s not copyright, it’s trademark, so nothing about copyright applies here. Lego’s rationale is explained in the link that Tim B posted. I had said that “it came up” at a meeting, but that’s not strictly accurate, cause that makes it sound like it was a bit random, which I’m pretty sure it…[Read more]

Sorry Greg, I think this one is DOA, it was a good idea while it lasted.

If it was my minifig LUGDoug, I would not feel the need to put the old logo on his back.
Your other option is to contact Citizen Brick and see if they’d print the logo and minifig face directly on the parts for you. You can expect high quality results, but it’s also likely to be quite expensive.
Also, I hate to rain on our parade here, but it…[Read more]
