Picture of all cases: http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff97/infernolab/forsale/all.jpg Detailed pictures of all 7 cases, sorted by number as detailed in the list below: http://s242.photobucket.com/albums/ff97/infernolab/forsale/?start=all 1: Red Case With Gray Latches.  15.5"x12.5"x4"  (c) 1985, made in USA.  Latches are intact & snap securely.  Appears to be blow-molded--looks & feels much like a power drill case. 2: Blue 3-Bay Case With Green Baseplate Covers #1.  15.5"x12.5"x4"  (c) 1989. This is a neat case with 3 bays & 4 adjustable dividers.  The cover for each bay is a 16x32 green baseplate.  The guide & retention tabs that hold the covers in place are all intact. 3: Blue 3-Bay Case With Green Baseplate Covers #2.  15.5"x12.5"x4"  (c) 1989. This is a neat case with 3 bays & 4 adjustable dividers.  The cover for each bay is a 16x32 green baseplate.  The guide & retention tabs that hold the covers in place are all intact. 4: Black Case.  11.5"x10.5"x3.5"  (c) 1997.  Latches are intact & snap securely. Appears to be blow-molded, much like a power drill case.  Curved top face is pretty sleek. 5: ZNAP 3581 Case.  13"x12.5"x4"  1998.  From this set: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/3581 .  Top snaps into place very snugly.  I'm the original owner of this case. 6: Technic 8062 Case #1.  15"x11"x3"  1994.  Very cool 2-tiered case (top tier pulls out).  *ALL* of the dividers are included & intact & solid (I betcha most owners of this case have lost some dividers...).  Top tier of the case also has an integral ruler in units of cm & LEGO studs--a very handy tool!  Both latches are intact & snap securely.  I'm the original owner of this case--I remember getting this set super-discounted at K-Mart when I was in grad school. 7: Technic 8062 Case #2.  15"x11"x3"  1994.  Very cool 2-tiered case (top tier pulls out).  *ALL* of the dividers are included & intact & solid (I betcha most owners of this case have lost some dividers...).  Top tier of the case also has an integral ruler in units of cm & LEGO studs--a very handy tool!  Both latches are intact & snap securely.  I'm the original owner of this case--I remember getting this set super-discounted at K-Mart when I was in grad school.

My set list is here: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/mlist.cgi?m=1783 I'm not sure of the best way to go about it.  I have saved the instructions from almost every set I own.  I only have one box, for the first set I ever received (315, European Taxie).  I unfortunately do not have any documentation of the "general" building sets my sister and I received as gifts when we were kids in the early '70s - only instructions from sets that build a "model."  All the parts are commingled in several large containers.  I have been sifting through them this past week, weeding out the non-lego and sorting into gross categories - plates/tiles, bricks/slopes, little Technic fiddly bits, etc.  It is quite complete - I was always pretty careful to keep my Lego together, even as a child. I'm doing this for mostly economic reasons, so I may wind up just cleaning the collection up, weighing it and selling it as a collection with a set inventory and some pics.  I realize this method brings probably the least return. I figure there are a couple other options: use Peeron part inventories to re-create each set, knowing the sets from the '70s won't have 100% 70's bricks in them, and selling each set with its instructions; go into business on BrickLink, selling individual parts (which might take forever); or break up the sets and pick the highest-valued pieces to sell on Ebay. I'd appreciate advice at this stage - maybe a strategy I have overlooked.

These are pretty rare/hard to find in normal DUPLO sets, but also as 'GREEN' they can make some superb building bases for large hills etc. For example - special deal - 900 2x10 bricks - shipped anywhere in the world, 700 USD, and for CAnada/USA 600 USD.  2x8 you get maybe another 1/5th more bricks approx.

The fifth prototype model from which my SdKfz 251 kit was developed. There are some slight difference (mostly in colors) in the actual kit because I do not yet posses all the pieces that will make up the kit. The kit is available for $60 (plus shipping) from http://www.brickmania.com The underside of the 251 reveals how the wheels are attached to the model body. The actual kit uses some different pieces (and colors!) but you can get the idea of how it works from this photo. Also note the front wheels are posable. The Technic angle connector can be used as a towing mount for an artillery piece or trailer. A look in the hull at the driver’s position. The hinges that hold the hull sides on are black and gray in the actual model. The antenna on the kit is also dark gray rather than black. That hand ax is black in the kit version. The prototype used to create my new SAS Jeep kit. Small differences are as follows: 1. Kit versions will (probably) come with brown hats. 2. The shovel attached to the side of the jeep is missing in the photo. This kit comes with three http://www.brickarms.com Lewis Guns. Brodie &quot;soup bowl&quot; helmets will soon be available from BrickArms as well (you will have to order them separately). This kit is available to order now at http://www.brickmania.com The jeeps would be used in long range attacks across the desert against vulnerable enemy targets such as supply convoys and aircraft on the ground. These jeeps were commonly armed with Lewis and Vickers machine guns on an anti-aircraft mount. There are several documented examples of SAS jeeps being equipped with Browning .50 cal heavy machine guns. This fearsome weapon was capable of destroying all but the most heartily armored vehicles. This is the model I used as the basis for my M3A1 Stuart tank kit. This is the general arrangement of the kit version with the following exceptions made to reflect parts availability and an attempt to lower the kit: 1. Mud flaps and headlights removed. 2. Different hinges used for the front fenders. 3. No &quot;treasure chest&quot; 4. Headlight bricks and 1x1 round plates removed from the blanked out 30 cal. MG ports on the side sponsons. 5. Army driver rather than USMC. 6. Decal not included (unless I can source them cheap!). 7. Lower hull and suspension is new dark blay on kit version. 8. Tiles on glacias (hull front) replaced with plates. Most of these things can easily be added to the kit with an order from Bricklink. Order information at http://www.brickmania.com An idea of how the road wheels are attached on my M3A1 model. This same arrangement can also be used for the M5 and M8 HMC. Currently the rarest of all Brickmania kits. #1 was a birthday present to my daughter and kits 2-9 were sent to category winners of the recent Custom Brick Community Building Contest. All 10 original kits were red and came with Agent &quot;98.&quot; Production kits are now available and will be sent in random colors and random agents.

Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Fri, 3 Apr 2009 15:20:53 GMT Highlighted:  (details) Viewed:  20866 times    Countless people have asked me to bring by my tank kits since I stopped selling them. Unfortunately the level of detail I included in most of my old models meant a $200-300 price tag and well beyond most peoples’ budgets. While contemplating my new generation of kits I have made a conscious decision to keep as historically accurate as possible, yet sacrifice some details in order to keep the price down. This brand new Panzer IV is not only be my first new custom tank model in almost six years but also the first to be priced under $100. Panzer IV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV) was the workhorse of the German tank fleet in World War Two and this Ausf. G model is equipped with the deadly long-barrel 75mm high velocity gun. The tan color perfectly reflects later war standard production and would be typical of the fearsome Ausf. G models that smashed the American line at Kasserine Pass. My kit contains 670 pieces and features revolving turret, poseable main gun, stowaway antenna, three opening hatches, and a tank commander minifig. The hull-mounted machine gun is a special MG42 prototype provided by http://www.brickarms.com (yes, I know the real thing has an MG34 but no such gun is currently available). While I am not including decals to keep costs down, Archer Fine Transfers (http://www.archertransfers.com/) offers an entire host of 1:35 dry transfers to for an additional level of detail. I plan to create a supplementary set of instructions for a more advanced version of this model as part of my Instructions Club. The advanced instructions will include interior details, engine compartment, working suspension, and other details left out of the kit version. If there is enough demand I may even create a parts pack to help with the conversion process. For more pictures and ordering information is at http://www.brickmania.com NOTE: I have ordered all the parts necessary for the first 20 models and will be shipping as soon as all the parts arrive. My last kit sold 19 of 20 copies before the first kit was shipped and this one will probably sell out even faster. Don’t delay ordering if you want to get one of the first batch!

As of March 27th, 2009 I’m still waiting on one small but crucial package of elements to arrive in the mail. Once these arrive I’ll be able to do the final bagging and sealing of the kits. They missing parts have been in the mail for two weeks and I expect them to arrive any day (they are coming an un-named country whose postal system is anything but fast eh?). Needless to say I will have the kits all sent as soon as this last packet of parts arrives. With 15 out of the first batch of 20 Dr. 1’s already sold, this is the highest selling initial offering of a single Brickmania kit so far. This tells me there is still very much an interest in my work and I will definitely be doing more as soon as time permits. Special thanks to all of you who have bought this kit because it is your enthusiasm that is urging me on! I am also pleased to announce that http://www.brickarms.com has sent me some limited edition &quot;gun metal blue&quot; and silver pistols to include with these kits (I’ll randomly include on or the other). BrickArms’ owner Will Chapmen has pledged to continue supporting my kits building activities by including hard to find and even prototype elements in my future kits. This is exciting news, especially with a new line of WW2 vehicle kits I am dreaming about... In any case, three cheers to Will and BrickArms for the support! For those interested in making more WW1 aircraft models, I plan to release instructions for the Spad S.XIII to Brickmania Instructions Club subscribers on April 1st. I’m not sure how many more WW1 models I will be doing, but that’s probably going to be it for a while, because I have so many other models up my sleeve.

(details) Viewed:  19849 times    The iconic plane made famous by World War One ace Manfred von Richthofen aka The Red Baron. Total Pieces: 324 genuine LEGO elements + Mauser pistol from Brickarms http://www.brickarms.com/ Minifigs: 1 Price: $59.95 + Shipping ($54.95 to Brickmania subscribers) I absolutely fell in love with this model and felt compelled to make it into a kit after six year’s hiatus from new Brickmania releases. The model is perfectly proportioned for minifigs (scale is 1 stud = 1 foot), is surprisingly sturdy, and is just plain fun to “swoosh” around the house. The Fokker Dr.1 Dreidecker (“tri plane”) is perhaps the most famous airplane of World War One. My model comes in the bold red livery of the war’s top ace Manfred von Richthofen, who scored his final 20 of 80 victories in this fighter. In his own words Richtohofen described the Dr.1: “It climbed like a monkey and maneuvered like the devil.” A total of 320 Dr.1’s were built during the war and it served with distinction until being replaced by the more advanced Fokker D VII (arguably THE best fighter plane of the war). Model Details: The kit is made up of 324 new LEGO elements (including a “Baron” minifig) and a pistol from Brickarms. Full-color printed building instructions and a singed certificate of authenticity are also included in the sealed box, which is also individually numbered and signed. As with all Brickmania kits, this design will be available for a limited time only and may be discontinued without notice. Limited availability: The instructions for this model were specifically designed for inclusion in my forthcoming military modeling book and will not be available through my instructions subscription club. Instructions for the Spad S.XIII (the other plane in the picture above) will be available to club members shortly.

NOTE: The Silver Champion is NOT glued, only built, but instructions and box are missing! It is very dusty has been in stock for I guess 4-5 years. Also, there are motors and stuff like this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3747996 app 3 times as much as on the picture. Please ask.

Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Sat, 28 Feb 2009 22:43:06 GMT Viewed:  18898 times    Well I lied... the final copy of Version 3 of The Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide has 60 chapters, and 2,200 pages. I had to wait to get the CDs pressed (happening now), and the extra time gave me extra time to add a chapter on LEGO Counterfeits and one on the 1949-53 Automatic Binding Bricks (the forerunner to the LEGO brick)... the other chapters are listed at the bottom of this post. ______________________________________ Plus, there are a few "recession busting" freebies included with a Version 3 sale.  This is also available to previous owners of the Version 1 and/or Version 2 CD owners. 1) a series of LEGO bricks going back to 1949 with the different fonts on them (while supplies last)... 2) I'm digging thru my 750,000 parts inventory, and giving away $5 worth of MINT rare parts NOT found in Bricklink.... 3) And, now that I have been accepted as a "LEGO Expert" by Paypal, I am offering $10 worth of free consultation services for each LEGO CD purchaser. This would include referrals to what rare parts I would consider a good investment, what to watch out for in EBAY auctions, answers to rare old parts in your collection that you've never found any reference material on, etc... $10 worth of consultations is a lot more than you would think, since most answers are either stuck in my head, or within a fingertip reach of my vast archive of reference material (over 5,000 LEGO images).  Here is an example of consultation services: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=344013 _______________________ For Version 1 and or Version 2 LEGO owners, the Version 3 would be on sale at great discount.... note THERE WILL NEVER BE A VERSION 4!!!!!!!!! If I had to give percentages to what Versions 1, 2 and 3 had in information in relationship to each other... it would be 60%, 80%, 100%. I have added over 200 new pics since Version 2 CD, as well as 9 new chapters. If you have a Bricklink account, you can order it at my store: First time CD buyers.... http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=12284417 For folks who have purchased version 1 and/or version 2: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=10286301 NOTE:  THERE WILL BE NO VERSION 4!!!!  I'M DONE!!! If you don't have a Bricklink account, please EMAIL me at: istokg@earthlink.net (And don't worry about my Spamblocker, I'll get back to you!) Also, LEGO Ambassadors get great discount!!  Some of you have EMAILed me while I was busy funishing the CD, and I appologize for not getting back to you. Thanks, Gary Istok P.S.  The link has some troubles with it (and has not been updated to Version 3)... but it will allow you to see some pics and chapters of the CD that are free to download: http://www.geminisystems.net/lego/ ____________________ >  > PREFACE >  > I -

Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Tue, 27 Jan 2009 04:15:18 GMT Viewed:  20736 times    I have had some of these ( what I consider ) really old Lego sets. I don't really want or need these sets. I have the boxes maybe some instructions and a box of ( maybe all? ) the pieces. I am planning to try to split them out, but would rather just sell them all. Someone I work with wanted to get rid of them a few years ago and I didn't want him to toss them, so I bought them, figuring I could sell them to someone that would actually want them. I can email pictures and more decriptions, but some of the sets are 111, 205 and 285. Those are probably the biggest ones and I don't even know if all the pieces are there, but there are quite a few pieces in the box. ( When he sold them to me, there were maybe 5-6 lego boxes with some pieces in each inside a larger box with a bucket with a lot more pieces ( I assume from the sets ). Alot of these bricks seem to be in really good shape for as old as they are. The rubber tires still feel like new as well. If anyone is interested, let me know. Otherwise, I might just donate them to the library or Museum around here or maybe just keep them, haven't decided yet.

Subject:  Selling Old MAERSK Ship Model Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Wed, 10 Dec 2008 19:38:35 GMT Viewed:  26489 times    Most of you know that Maersk is the Danish transportation company that commissioned TLG to produce several truck and ship models since 1974. The most famous Maersk LEGO models are the 2 Maersk LEGO ships. The first was the extremely expensive 1974 released #1650 Maersk Line Container Ship that has sold on EBAY recently for up to $2700 in MISB (YIKES!!) The 2nd famous Maersk LEGO model was 10152 Maersk Sealand Container Ship of 2004-2006. There was a much earlier 3rd Maersk ship that TLG made... the Regina Maersk. Unfortunately there were 3 stikes against this model.... 1) it was only made for LEGO retailers from 1959-61, 2) it was made of Cellulose Acetate, so surviving models would have a lot of warped LEGO elements, and 3) there are no known survivors of this LEGO model... in nearly 9 years of searching on EBAY (USA and Europe), I have never seen this one come up for sale. So I decided to research and build the 1959 Regina Maersk (LEGO model #0751). The original real (non-LEGO) ship was built in the shipyards of Odense Denmark in 1954, and launched in 1955. It was the first ever Maersk Line ship that had a Maersk blue hull, a trademark of all Maersk ships today. The 1959-61 LEGO Regina Maersk Ship #0751 was built with regular blue bricks, and virtually no specialty LEGO elements (they didn’t exist in 1959). So what I have done is study the 1959 LEGO retailer catalog model as well as other images of it, and rebuilt this ship using Maersk blue LEGO elements(first introduced in 1974), as well as a few sloped and inverse sloped bricks (not available in 1959) and real LEGO Maersk stickers... and built my own MOC of the very first LEGO Maersk Ship for sale... “The Regina Maersk”... The ship is a full 2 ft. (60 cm) long (when assembled), and will come as loose parts with building instructions. Also included will be 12 mint classic 1x1x1 white windows, which are used in the original model, as well as mint LEGO Maersk stickers for completing the model. I am hoping to build up to 10 of these models, and am taking pre-orders for an after Christmas delivery. (Now you know what to do with your holiday gift money ;-D!) The price is $99 (shipping extra), and that will include a complimentary copy of my newest LEGO CD Version 2.1... (a $26.95 value) which has the images of the entire old 1959 retailer catalog that the Regina Maersk retailer model ship came in. Also, anyone who wants this ship and complimentary LEGO CD, and wants to prepay now... the first few pre-payed orders will also get either a #455 LEAR JET (original mint parts and sticker sheet only), or a #1119 STEAM PISTON PACK (for building a Thatcher Perkins Locomotive or a #725/#726 12V Train). Ironically the #455 Lear Jet was ONLY sold in USA/Canada in the mid 1970’s, and the #1119 Steam Piston pack was ONLY sold in Europe and Australia in the late 70’s and early 80’s). If you want to order this quickly and get the freebie #455 or #1119 (a $20 plus value), you can Paypal me at: istokg@earthlink.net. (Don’t worry, I won’t skip town! :-D) Since that’s my EMAIL address also, send any inquiries to that EMAIL address. Don’t worry about Spamblocker. Also, Here’s a pic of the original 1959 LEGO retailer catalog image of the model (I use the positioning of the smoke stacks differently, but that can be changed): This model is MUCH NICER in Maersk blue than regular blue!! Happy Holidays!! Gary Istok P.S. I likely couldn’t have these done before Christmas, since I’m still upgrading the 1500 page Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-1980’s).

Newsgroups:  lugnet.town, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Followup-To:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Mon, 13 Oct 2008 04:34:21 GMT Viewed:  29059 times    As many of you know, since 1999 I've been designing and producing custom kits of town buildings and other town-related stuff - everything from small cars through houses, hospitals, a factory, and a 29" long car ferry, to a 3500-piece apartment block model. The time has come now for me to stop producing kits, for a variety of reasons, and I just opened up the very last kit run ever. After this run I will not be doing any more kits or parts packs at all - although I will still keep the instructions available. So, if there's something you've been planning to get "some day" - some day is here! <http://www.lionsgatemodels.com/kit-availability.htm Kit Availability> As you'll see when you look at the kit availability page, everything now comes with CD instructions. You are most welcome to print out the instructions from the CD yourself for your own use. What I plan to do is, instead of including a CD with just the instructions for the model you order, I'll send you the multi-model CD which includes your model, so you'll get the other instructions on the CD as a bonus. Those CDs currently sell for $19.99 on my web site so if you order something small like a car or truck which is under $19.99, in effect you get a discount on the CD and a free kit! I know the large kits are expensive. If you want to work out an instalment payment deal, email me and we'll talk about it. I won't be giving up LEGO, and I will still continue to make the instructions available. I may even create more models and make them available as instructions only, never as kits. That does give me more flexibility when I can use parts that are not so easy to get in large quantities. Happy building to all, as the weather closes in on us and indoors becomes more fun than outdoors! Kevin Subject:  Direct Printing onto bricks,fig torsos,fig heads, panels,etc Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:18:33 GMT Viewed:  15481 times    Well Tommy has finally received his machine and familiarized himself with it enough to pretty confidently say that I am in production. I should be caught up with my current projects in a week or so and am open for business. email me. Now you can have your parts printed directly onto the part.And that of course includes minifig torsos and heads! There will be a one time setup fee involved with a price structure that is quantity weighted--as this process is different from my engraving process. Once set up and printed there is much less post personalization work to be done. This thing can really open up great opportunities I think for me and for AFOLs in that now they can create all kinds of graphics to be included in kits and displays ane etc. that could never be done before. Could actually print moc cards on bricks with picture of the moc. Can print photographs of all kinds onto panels and bricks. Resolution is really incredible--possibilities are endless. Business Bricks(tm) are now possible as well as Business Figs(tm). They may never replace a paper business card because of cost, but make up for it in many situations because of the impact. Hopefully will have chance to post some pictures to my flickr account http://flickr.com/search/?q=brickcon&z=t&page=6 in very near future. Parts have to be white for full color but black and dark colors seem to work well on lighter colored bricks. For example brown and black work well over a yellow head. More experimentation is necessary on colored parts.

(and of course the badges that I engraved). The quality of this thing is really outstanding in my opinion. This really opens up all kinds of possibilites for y'all,I think. From custom printed minifig torsos to business bricks to LUG logos printed on panels to tiles printed with anything to even pics of your dog on a panel. This thing really is a bit of a pardigm shift in the way plastic parts can be printed. I think that it also opens up great possibilites for custom kits such that one could cater them to specific audiences --for example the local grading contractor with a back hoe or bulldozer with his logo on it would be a great kit to give away to potential customers. The key I think for really making any money doing custom kits is to target them to specific audiences. Being able to easily apply their logo and contact information on them really opens up whole new markets for anyone really wanting to make custom kits. I have not had time to do much with it but from what I have done--I am truly impressed.

Perhaps your quest is over! I recently acquired an MISB #6079 Dark Forest Fortress from my local consignment shop. It really doesn't come much closer to the factory than this! The link below provides pictures and a short demo movie! http://www.xenobuzz.com/MyLegoCreations/6079%20Dark%20Forest%20Fortress.htm The lowest MISB Bricklink price is $250, I'm asking $200 plus shipping. The box has already been shrink-wrapped to prevent further weathering. Another more recent surprise was the discovery of this set: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6042 #6042 Dungeon Hunters has been a little crushed in one corner, and has two razor cuts on one side where a careless employee slashed open the shipping box with all the sets inside. However, the interior contents have not fallen out or been otherwise disturbed. The lowest MISB Bricklink price is $125! I'm only asking $50 plus shipping. Hi-res pictures can be made available on request. Dave S.

The CD is PC and MAC compatible, and chapters can be printed in either USA or European paper formats. Well sorry for the many delays, but the delays meant that the 47 chapters promised Unofficial LEGO Sets/Parts Collectors Guide (1949-1980's) will now contain 51 chapters. And eveyone who ordered one will get both the Dollar AND Euro Insurance Price Guides (400 pages each, no separate editions). Here's just the new additions from Version 1 (45 chapters) of the CD. The 6 extra chapters include.... A freebie appendix included in the new updated Version 2 CD shows the building instructions and history for the largest LEGO house ever designed for sale, but never put into production #717 Junior Constructor (1961): http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=11565145 So you get this extra $4.95 value as a freebie. One new LEGO CD chapter is devoted to the history of LEGO instructions (1950-80's). Another new chapter is devoted to the evolution of LEGO box designs, as well as all the known LEGO boxes with Christiansen family members on the box tops. Another new chapter has an image of yearly catalogs starting from 1950-65 (most since 1965 can be found on Peeron). Most of these catalogs have never been seen by most AFOLs. Another new catalog is especially of interest to folks interested in rare LEGO parts. That is a list (and images) of old LEGO parts that are country(s) specific. This is broken down into LEGO elements only found in... Denmark only. Denmark, Norway, Sweden only. Sweden only. Norway only. Denmark/Netherlands only. Germany only. Continental European only. Continental European/Britain/Australia only. Britain/Australia only. Continental European/Britian/Australia/Canada only. USA/Canada only. USA only Canada only. Another chapter shows picture diagrams of all the LEGO parts sold each year from 1950-66. Another chapter gives a country by country history of LEGO sales and sales offices for each country. And existing Chapter 2 has tripled in size with the addition of pictures and information about LEGO model shops and toy fairs. There are also over a hundred new pics of very rare LEGO items that most AFOLs have never seen before. Some are valued into the thousands of dollars. If you own Version 1 of my CD, and want to get the expanded and updated version 2... check it out here... http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=istokg&itemID=10286301 If you are a new CD owner, please check it out here: http://www.geminisystems.net/lego/ (Note: due to an upgrade to Windows 2006, the BUY IT NOW button may not work. If not, contact me via the EMAIL button at the bottom of the site.) And if you want to download some free sample chapters of the LEGO CD (with lots of historic and rare photos), please check it out at this same website. The difference between my CD and the new 800 page "official collectors guide" book, is that I give over 1/4 million words of text descriptions of sets and set variations, and parts and part variations information about LEGO. If you are a current LEGO CD owner, go check out the updated chapters 2 and 32 to see how many new items have been included in the larger updated CD.

But it was not a deal killer. I would think, especially if printing with black that that would work. Black always has the highest opacity of any pigment and if tweaked with some purple also then like a color filter should increase its hiding capacity. When mixing paint for example if something is too yellow, a touch of violet will kill the yellow. If you have exactly the violet that is the anti-yellow hue, it will turn it grey in pigment-and in transparent gels will actually block it. This principle is used for chemical anyalysis in color spectrophotometer machines. No reason I can see would not work on top of a yellow brick. Just need to find anti-yellow. Used to be when shooting bw photos, if wanted the sky to be darker, you would put an orange filter over lense to be anti-blue.A red lense to make green darker. A yellow filter to block violet. Now there is a thought for some of you mindstorms guys--gels of specific transmittance over the photo sensor--so could absolutely discriminate the anti-color of the gel color with  simple measurement. When no light transmitted then you have found the anti-color.  The color sensor might work that way for all I know. Exactly how those machines in paint stores that match colors work. Tommy Or theoretically could "print" a contiuous tone "color gel" that went from dark to light yellow of the same hue and have it move over lines of various intensities of violet and might be kewl effect. But that would be like artsy stuff. lol Subject:  Re: Official New Service Announcement From The BrickEngraver--LONG Newsgroups:  lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade Date:  Wed, 27 Aug 2008 03:47:54 GMT Viewed:  14383 times    In lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, Tommy Armstrong wrote: > There are limitations to this method in that it has to be printed onto a white > part.

Could you print dark colors on fairly light colored bricks?  For example, could you print black text on a yellow brick?  If the yellow plastic behind the black letters made the text look dark gray instead of true black, I don't think it would matter much.  The sharp resolution is what would really count.  Color photos might even look good on light gray or tan pieces.

On the original subject, this actually sounds kind of cool, although I can't immediately think of a whole lot of robotics applications... but I probably will.

They said it would not work, But did say that would create a nice stain glass effect--which makes sense. And could be actually used for some very nice effects. Clear panels very well might print with black ink since it has the highest hiding power and I think that printing with a color that is the exact opposite of the underlying brick color might work. For example a little violet with the black to make it hide better over yellow (yellow and violet are opposites). Black and yellow make green, but with violet in it, it very well might kill the yellow that makes the green and therefore achieve a true black. That kind of thing.  Same with red over green and vice versa. I will be fun trying to figure out what it can really do. I think in the next 3 or 4 years you will see a lot of these things around and prices will of course drop. Another thing would be that if the pattern was printed over a brick one could very well get what is akin in the decorating business as a faux finish. Where one puts a glaze coat over a base coat with sponges or feathers or cheesecloth, etc. I used to do that kind of thing for a living a long time ago. The glaze coat would be analogous to the semi-transparent ink. That kind of thing. But a stain glass creation with infinite variations in color could make for some interesting artwork.A new media for artists--not necessarily for LEGO AFOL's. And the transparency could be turned into a good thing instead of being a limitation. Just thinking and waiting for it to arrive.

Tommy, Out of curiosity, what about printing on clear window panes?  would that work? I would think that you might be able to print on both sides of a window pane, giving 2x capacity.  (not to mention all the fun LEGO scenes you could "draw" on a window pane...town or otherwise!) let your imagination run on that possibility. Have you tried using a non-white brick to see what it does?  I know from some of my limited art education classes, when we had to paint a gallery wall from dark to light, it was required that you put a sealer on the existing paint, which prevented the dark color from bleeding through the light color. Granted, I'm applying paint logic to printing, but it's something to experiment with.

With that process they can achieve higher film builds since UV will cure film from top to bottom instantly. Regular ink dries by evaporation of solvent.  I saw one at the factory and it was pretty kewl, but was over $100,000. A bit out of my range--lol. This machine was at the limit of my credit at the bank. It can print on items up to 5" high and on slightly curved surfaces. Resolution is outstanding so for example could print a logo, email address, name, and phone number on a 1x6 brick.Minifig cards could now be possible, although of course way more than a printed card one--but bricks could be almost reasonable to hand out as a calling card for special customers/contacts. How many people would throw away a printed brick? And do away with the roladex--just stack them on top of each other--lol The ink simply does not have the hiding capacity to cover in one coat at the thickness of the film printed to achieve coverage. Much like painting a wall in your house. If you are going to paint with any clear color such as yellow--you need to paint the wall with white first. Color reproduction can be tweaked, but of course takes some time. Many times though acceptable right from the .eps file or .jpg file. For a photograph pretty much need to do the same thing as if manually printing in darkroom and do a test, make modifications, another test,etc. Once settings done, you are good to go. So at least for me, printing on colored bricks will have to be done by engraving and filling with paint. It is my intention, and I did not test this out, to match colors of bricks for background so would blend with bricks and you would print the entire brick except for the text, logo, picture with the matching color. Of course the sides and back and top would still be white. But I think there are plenty of possibilities to keep me busy even being limited to white only. And I am confident that you AFOL's will come up with a plethora of things that I have never thought about. This is really new tech and really does, I believe open up wide possibilities for all kinds of things. The machine of course was not designed with LEGO in mind, but things like golfballs, pens, lighters, tin cans, boxes--one step 4 color is new concept for these items. Tommy www.brickengraver.com now also in future www.brickprinter.com For example could do a plate with a little white border around it, background green, and graphics or letters whatever color.
