I am close to finishing a new Polar Express North Pole building. I am still waiting for some parts to arrive.

This building has no intended purpose, (ie. post office, candy factory, etc.) my intention was to make something like the buildings in the book and the movie. I also wanted to incorporate certain parts from the last two LUGbulk orders, particularly the windows and the roof.

OK, cool. Generally speaking, I make teh jokes with abandon, but I wanted to make sure it wasn’t legitimately offending you, since you’re new-ish and humor/tone (i.e. – faux anger) doesn’t always translate online.

But yeah, if you think counting is fun, then by all means, do that!

Don’t hate on the new girl, dude!

Wait, what about my comments was construed as “hating on the new girl”…? That was not my intention at all…

LOL, just kidding 😀 This may help you understand why I didn’t mind verifying LUGBulk orders the other day 😀

Storing that post in our database is the most worthwhile thing we can do with our lug resources. Lol. Good times. Thanks, Greg.

I’d hate to see the related topics in a thread called “greg’s thoughts”

[Greg Schubert]

The original topic was ‘stuff I read about in the PennLUG monthly email,’ specifically RLUG and LUGbulk, which is the title of the thread.

[Josh]

IP is intellectual property. Can’t use the mini figure in logos and such.

Your lugbulk concern is noted.

Is it still a thread jack if you change the topic in the initial post???

[Greg Schubert]

What does this mean “Changes for RLUG Guidelines for use of LEGO IP?” It was in a newsletter from PennLUG.

Also what is with the LUGbulk shipment coming so long after we have to create our orders. Why couldn’t we just order in July, if they aren’t even going to invoice us until August?

The only reason I like the MILS is that the baseplates connect together easily and the seams are less noticeable. I would be all for letting go of MILS if I hadn’t already spent so much on white plates to MILS all my Christmas stuff :p At least allow me this year to use them; provided LUGBULK comes in at a decent time.

So I’m a big fan of the cohesive Lego display look and personally, I don’t like seeing a big display with the table cloth showing. It just looks like they ran out of time and/or parts. For that reason, I would place baseplates wherever there’s empty space and force ourselves to build something fun in those spaces to liven up the display. This opinion does not include the space displays with tablecloth discussion as I’m not familiar enough with displaying that theme to comment.

The new LEGO Disney Princess castle from FROZEN has white leaf elements. I did not see that on LUGbulk options for 2015 or 2106, however there were olive, purple and dark red “limb element, small” pieces.

Yeah… people keep messing up the spreadsheets and calling me for tech support… it’s exhausting.

@zbauer is, if my understanding is correct, stopping at @JoshHall‘s house tomorrow some time and picking up the racetrack, wheelbases for racecars, sign frame, business cards, and… hmm… what else can/should he take from Josh’s house?

@zbauer, mind grabbing my LUGBULK stuff from Josh? 🙂

Sounds good.

As for bringing stuff, do you guys have any sort of theme going on? I could bring some modular buildings, or an EV3 set or something.

Hey guys, long time no see! I should be able to make the first half of the event next weekend. If someone would be able to bring my LUGBULK, I would greatly appreciate it.

You’re allowed to come whenever, Pete. Everyone else has to wait until after they’ve eaten lunch.

is awe inspiring. Were people there until the wee hours of the morn? If so, bless you.

@timf remember that many of our members are night owls (software engineers, PMs, security guards, etc)! I recall a second wind kicking in about 2am, but I may have just been imaginating hallucinating.

And some of us had to be up for work 4 hours later…

The term “committed” swings both ways when applied to a hobby. 😉

However, I’m not entirely certain how this group rolls. Any advice?

Well, typically, we climb to the top of a hill, curl into a ball, and just kind of lean until gravity kicks in…

Sorry. But seriously, you’re off to a good start! Chat on the forums, keep an eye out for upcoming events (there are a LOT in the next month or so – every weekend there’s something going on), come out to something and meet people, bring a MOC (My Own Creation) if you have one handy, and you’re off to the races! We’re pretty easygoing (just don’t use knockoff bricks!) and participation is when, where, and how you want to. Check out the Barnes & Noble Architecture event this Saturday, Youngstown Library event next Sat 10/24, Castle Shannon Fire Department display on 11/1, and Greenberg Toy & Train show on 11/7-8! Then we have a short break before Santa Trolley rounds out our fall/holiday season.

Oh, and for those not doing a B&N event (or before / after it), people will be meeting at Josh’s house for a LUG workday this Saturday as well.

Just so we’re clear: the LUGBulk is sorted. We’ll be doing other things this Saturday, like such as:

As for the 17th, I think I’ll still host time at my house if people are interested. You can do what you like with the Barnes and Noble event. If you’re leading, surely you get pab credits there. You also get pab credits for work days, so could be a nice day for earning.

We still need to finalize the track, hoping someone could take lead on getting some fabric to cover the sides perhaps. We painted it entirely black, but I think some white dotted lines would add some fun.

We should get/make a stencil and spray steel city lug on the backs of our chairs. Perhaps the track too.

We build a new pvc frame for hanging the banner that needs sprayed one more time.

We could build MILS train track on baseplates for greenberg and santa trolley. Any other building is possible too.

So, yeah, sorting lugbulk on the 17th then?

Yeah, @burikmodeldesign was asking today when that was happening…

[Josh]

yeah, I’m the one being a jag, Duncan. That should always be the assumption, if there is a jag blame that must be placed. When it is placed on me, it should be known that I’m doing it tongue in cheek too.

So, yeah, sorting lugbulk on the 17th then?

[Josh]

Not sure what you’re saying since you got the staff credits for Greenberg, just like everyone else did.

In context of of the Barnes and noble, you’re either leading/staffing a public event, or you’re part of the public attending the event.

[Matt Redfield]

Ooh, burn.

[Josh]

Nope. I’m meant leasing the the context of staff in a public event
