HEY All,
<3 LEGO <3
We are two flourishing LEGO FANS who have decided to dedicate our Thesis
research to an extensive study of the LEGO user's impressions on the LEGO Ideas
platform and the fan contribution to TLG - basically on all of you!! :)
SO, we would like to ask you 3 brief questions, which will be used as
qualitative data in our thesis.
1. How and why has the LEGO Ideas changed your perception on LEGO?
2. What would it take for you to feel alienated by LEGO in terms of their new
ideas for co-creation? Or can LEGO do no wrong?
3. Would you say that LEGO co-creation with fans have made you more loyal to the
brand? How?
THANK YOU for any comments and responses!
AND if ANY of you would like to help us even more - we would like to set up a
skype-chat / informal interview with you, it will take no more than 10-15
minutes of your time! THANK YOU

Be there! I will. Jeff said he would. And while I can't be sure if it was a
joke, I think the PMO and Mr. J. Trudeau will be in attendance as well.

Well I can announce it finally.... :-)
This thread....
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=56284
I am writing a 9 volume LEGO Encyclopedia that involves 6 Volumes (450 pages
each) on LEGO sets from day 1 of 1949 thru 2017. Most of this info for the
earlier years is from my 2800 page LEGO Collectors Guide (2800 pages available
formerly as a DVD and now only as a computer desktop download).
Also included will be 3 additional 350 page volumes that I label A, B and C...
which have rare LEGO parts (A), LEGO early toys (B), and LEGO retailer display
and glued display models (C).
There's good news and bad news about this though... the bad news is that the
first country to get the 9 volume books will be China... they are currently
gettting translated into Chinese as I finish the volumes (1-3 are completed, and
of the remaining 6... 2 1/2 are already done).
The good news is that I am updating my online version (available as a computer
desktop download)... and that will probably go to over 3500 pages when
completed. The online version of my guide will only be a fraction of the cost
of the paper volumes when completed. As I said, right now China is working on
translating it to simplified Chinese... and other countries are currently
negotiating for translations. The English version won't require translations,
since it was written in that language. But that is still a ways away from being
produced.
But anyway... for those of you who have my online guide... you will be getting
all future updates found in the 9 volumes... for FREE. :) And I can still
offer the current guide (with future free updates) for those who will be
interested in a desktop version (only $29.95, a fraction of the book costs).
Here are the Encyclopedia volumes... (note 5 and 6 are still not firm for
start/end dates)....

Volume "B"...

Volume "C"...
https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2816/33131716683_0545b4fc65_b.jpg
As I had mentioned, my online version of these guides will be free for those who
already bought my online guide (10-15 min. to download)... with free future
updates to add the remaining volumes of data to the 73 chapters already done).
For info on that, see Lugnet.Marketplace for price and link.
My publicists is already telling me to stop selling the online guide to current
collectors, but I'm holding off a bit... But once it's a closed edition, the
online guide with future updates will only be available to current owners of the
guide, even though it will be a closed edition.
Thanks to all my friends! :)

I am working on a program that posterizes an image. Can you do this with
theThreshold, MorphOpen, MorphClose, MorphProperOpen, MorphProperClose,
MorphThin and Invert commands in RoboLab?

Using RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94, in many ways is like being stranded on Mars
and this is all there is, which is everything. There is plenty of time until the
next spaceship arrives since contacting Earth depends on making this software
and hardware work. The first space shuttle used a software and hardware that was
more primitive than RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94. The goal is to surf the
Internet for a paintable image, change it into nine colors of blobs and print it
by melting oil pastels on metal.

|

Having to trouble shoot a Dell Inspiron 1100 not booting up cleanly. An alarm
goes off and it goes to safe boot mode. I am running the original Home version
of XP without updates and RoboLab 2.94. Keeping the 2007 working original
program until new application arm is working. Side arm needs to come in and heat
up surface where oil pastel dot is applied and move aside for the application
wheel to rotate to the color and move down to apply the dot. Thinking it will be
a side arm where the heating box flips down, moves into dot area for allotted
time then out. http://tomlohre.com/lego.htm

I posted my MK II Viper a few years
back. I finally got around to doing the MK VII version in LDD and rendered in
Bluerender.
It is built in the ~1 stud = 1 foot scale I have built my other models to. It
is slightly longer than scale, but that is to compensate for the extra width
that our overly obese minifigs require.
brickshelf gallery
when moderated
In my research, I realized that there are two subtly different versions out
there. The original has the wings blending into the fuselage all the way out
toward the nose and has different shaped wings. The “MK VIIB” has the wings
blending into the fuselage about the midpoint of the nose (and remind me a lot
of how the wings on an F-18 blend into the forward fuselage). I chose to try to
model the “B” model and used this
site put up by one
of the VFX modelers for the show as a reference.
This was a difficult build to try to make all the angles come together and look
“right” at this scale. The core is a 2x2 structure using the many bricks with
studs on their sides that are now available. The model literally has “studs up”
in all 6 directions to achieve the form.
I did look at this excellent
MOC of the MKVIIA by
atomictoaster85 somewhat in the build process as it appeared much smaller and
“true to scale” than other MK VII MOCs I have seen online. Given the shape of
the rear fuselage behind the cockpit, there are only so many ways to achieve the
“stepped” look with LEGO bricks at this size.and that portion of my model does
look very similar. I don’t know if I am satisfied with the large sloped wedges
on the sides of the rear of the fuselage relative to the MK VII reference I was
using and may continue to twiddle with it in the future.
A minifig does barely fit into the cockpit, but as a result, the controls and
instrumentation are not as detailed as I would normally like. Yet another
compromise when trying to build at a smaller scale.
I have been challenging myself to include fully retractable landing gear in
these Viper models that closes cleanly. On the nose gear, I didn’t quite
achieve the effect I wanted. I had another nose gear design planned (similar to
my LL919 model) but the nose structure became too compromised when I started
deleting bricks to make room for the nose gear assembly. So I ended up using a
simple hinge piece with a 1x2 brick. It works, but does interrupt the clean
lines of the bottom of the craft.
Lastly, I’m not sure I like the minifig surfboards for the wing/tail tips. I
thought they would look cool, but are too wide for the scale I’m working at. I
would also like to eliminate the gaps on the wing/tail cannons. Again, these
are some things I might continue to experiment with. But overall, I believe the
design is 90% there, and I am happy with it for now.
Thanks for looking,
drc

Hello everyone,
This is an old topic but I need your help.
I acquired the set 9731 LM Vision Command without the original software and I
can't found the English version for WinXP nowhere. At BrickLink, only other
languages are on sale for WinXP.
Can someone share the installation CD in English of LEGO Mindstorms Vision
Command for Windows XP or where can I download the software in English??
Any help appreciated...

Builders Notes:
This MOC is proof that a build is never done. I have had different
variations of this build in LDD for several years and I was never quite
satisfied with the look. The new T70 xwing canopy struck me as perfect for
this build so I recently re-designed the canopy section to include it. There
is a “design progression” picture in the brickshelf gallery that captures
many of the iterations of this design over the years. The nearly studless
exterior features significant SNOT construction techniques. Total piece
count is 343 bricks including the pilot minifig. The design is obviously
inspired by the Buck-Rogers Earth Directorate “Thunder fighter” with the tail
section somewhat inspired by the A-wing. For now, this MOC will likely
remain a virtual creation as acquiring some of the pieces in the colors
needed will be difficult.
This is my first attempt a using “Bluerender” and I just want to say a big
thank you to those who developed it. I found it very easy to use on my first
go-around and can have the satisfaction of a more realistic visualization of
this creation until I can find a color scheme I like that where all the
elements are commonly available. One of the next things I need to try is to
figure out how to include the classic-space logos in the render.
Anyways - thanks for looking

This is gorgeous, and I especially like the the alternat Classic color scheme.
Thanks for sharing!

Wow... this place is quiet...
Just to make an announcement.... for those of you who purchased my 2800 page
Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts DVD or online Computer Desktop download (from the
Cloud).
I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I am in the process of
updating it to the present year (well 2016+). There have not been any updates
sent out since my 2012 initial 2800 page/73 Chapter version. However that will
change. By the end of 2017 the updates will be done... and anyone who had
purchased the DVD (not the smaller CD from 2008)... or the download... when the
updates are done (bringing the total pages to well over 4000), you will be
getting those updates (as a complete download guide) for free. :-)
The bad news is that shortly my guide will be a CLOSED edition for new buyers.
And the reason is because I am working on a massive encyclopedic version of my
guide in book form for a major Asian country, which I am not at liberty to
discuss (yet), except to say it won't be in English unfortunately... and I had
to buy a block of 10 ISBN numbers to get enough titles (not using them all yet)
for a book form of my vast updated guide. Perhaps it will be translated to
English or other languages later, but it will start out in an Asian language.
If you want an immediate online copy of my guide with free future updates you
have to go to Lugnet Marketplace....
http://news.lugnet.com/market/buy-sell-trade/?n=17876
Once the edition is closed, I can only provide upgrades to current owners.
Thanks for all of those who have purchased in the past. I went thru some rough
patches (not completely out of the woods yet, but things are looking brighter...
both health and financially)... and researching LEGO has kept my sanity.
Cheers and thank you!
Gary Istok
P.S. Many rare items that won't be found elsewhere are going to be in my online
(and book form) LEGO encyclopedic guide....

My guide will be a closed edition shortly, because of a future Asian multivolume
book form of my soon to be expanded guide (1949-2017).... which may or may not
get translated to other languages in the future.
There will be over 4000 pages, many of sets that are unknown even to the Billund
Collections and Vault (I can guarantee at least 100 sets they don't have in the
vault will be in my guide)....
Here's where you can still order....
http://legocollectorsguide.weebly.com/
And the guide with free expansion at the end of this year.... will still be only
$29.95... which is approximately 1/6 the price of the multivolume books if they
come out in English.
Thanks for all who have purchased them in the past.
Gary Istok
P.S. Questions?... go to the order webpage and ask there.

Well lets see if I still remember how to post here and if anyone is still
here...
Backstory:
In order to combat the increased incursions from the Blacktron forces and
protect against their raids on commerce lanes, the Legoland Space Forces
commissioned the development of a new scout and patrol craft. A decided
departure from earlier, lightly armed, exploration craft, the LL919 is a
high-endurance, single seat combat vessel designed to fill commerce escort,
interception and interdiction roles. The Galaxy corporation developed a series
of prototype craft from the successful LL901 light scout vessel. The basic
spaceframe was stretched to accommodate an advanced high-power compact fusion
reactor, a FTL jump drive, high performance sublight drives, additional
armaments and an advanced AI system to assist with target tracking and
identification and navigation on long patrols. The wing area was increased to
accommodate additional radiator capacity to dissipate the heat generated by the
advanced combat systems as well as improve trans-atmospheric performance.
Armament features dual high rate blasters on each wingtip to engage smaller
craft. Dual forward particle cannons and 6 under-wing hard-points carrying
auto-seeking anti-matter torpedoes allow the LL919 to effectively engage heavy
vessels.
The FTL jump drive capabilities are classified but experts estimate that a jump
drive in a craft this size would be capable of around 6 intersellar jumps before
requiring maintenance and refueling. However, the craft does appear to have
dorsal Bussard scoop which might allow the LL919 to extend its maximum endurance
by travelling through dense clouds of interstellar hydrogen gas to replenish its
fusion reactor.
The craft features retractable nose gear and the ventral fins pivot to serve as
the rear landing supports.
The LL919 has had nothing but praise from the initial test pilots and it is now
being rolled out to the LLSF’s elite units. The photo below shows an LL919
wearing the famed “Scarlet Vipers” squadron colors. It is expected that the
LL919 will be sent to equip all of the LLSF’s patrol squadrons, replacing the
current issue X-1 patrol craft, Cosmic Cruiser, FX-Starpatroller and other
units, once Galaxy Corp. completes the initial Low-Rate-Initial-Production
models and is authorized to begin full scale production.

for something now. There are a number of unresolved bugs at BL. Attempts at
reporting them has met with denial. List the bugs you know about here, but keep
it factual and don't try to take BL down in the process.

set every year for Christmas, even as an adult, and it was his best present each
year.

Hi everyone,
I find an interesting paper in SIGGRAPH Asia conference 2015. It can convert a
3D model to a lego-constructed model and solve the stability problem.
The video and paper can be found in
http://www.cmlab.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~forestking/research/SIGA15-Legolization/
Will this work be helpful to you while designing or building your own lego
models?
Enjoy building!
Jie
