Just got back from Belize. Wife works and we’re catching up on things, so I doubt I’ll be able to make it over this weekend.

Anything I build for this will be suspended and there’s usually plenty of space for that. In a pinch I have the blacksmith for filler.

My Big MTron Ship can go. I don’t anticipate needing it throughout the summer for anything else.

I doubt folks would want to want their private information posted to what is essentially a publicly facing site. All it takes to access this information is to register for the site. The real name bit isn’t that big a deal especially if it’s just first name and a last initial, but address/phone ect. should really be kept out of the public view.…[Read more]

Very cool.

Tagging myself for this in case I can contribute.

Alas, I have another event I’m attending tonight. Hope everyone has fun.

Food truck scene…awesome.

Castle works for me. I have the blacksmith as filler for the moment, but I’m sure I can come up with something castlesque for the bottom and probably a dragon of some kind for suspension.

Welcome. Glad you could join us. Small world with you and Johnny running into each other outside of a LUG Activity.

Like I know doing a surfer build isn’t quite what folks had in mind…but I thought I’d at least get creds for showing up 😀

Just messing but yeah, I should be on there for Set up and Display but not Tear-Down

So we were discussing this on Discord and the consensus seems to be that it’s a bad idea. However after further thought, I think in most cases I would be ok with it as long as the variations are listed on the main page of the element. Many elements already had this. It really comes down to whether it’s a functional or cosmetic difference. If the…[Read more]

So if we do Castle/Fantasy for this one…maybe we do Space, Age of Exploration (Ships/seafaring), Lost Relics (Indiana Jones/Tomb Raiders) ect for the other? That way people can either build for both, or build for the…[Read more]

Lug Doug is a bit more complicated. He may or may not be in violation of the trademark. I would actually lean toward not. A trademark is really a protection on key identifiable marks/features of a product. It’s purpose is to ensure that if you buy a product with a specific trademark on it, that forms a sort of guarantee that you purchased an…[Read more]

I imagine we could get around this by customizing a wearable minifig accessory…like a cape or vest, helmet, etc. Something that isn’t a minifig but could be used with a minifig, but….not a lawyer so can’t say for sure.

Looks like we are free to customize other components but the minifig is a trademark that we must steer clear of.

Interesting. Not sure I’ll make it, but subbing just in case I can.
