I don't know where to begin.....But here it goes. Coming to this years event I was really afraid people would be hesitant to vote for the same person two years in a row for best in show. I told myself if I placed I'd be happy. Needless to say at (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.events)

I was in Chicago today and had a few minutes to spare before heading back to O'Hare. I stopped by the Woodfield Mall LEGO Store. Nothing of real interest in the Pick-A-Brick section but I did find the original Red X-Pod on sale for $1. They had (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Hey All, Well, I finally joined the Digital Media Age (DMA?) this year when my wife and I purchased a digital camera. Well I brought it to BrickFest2005, along with Marvin.

| | Re: Brickshelf theft
|
|
Sounds like maybe BrickShelf should invest in a watermarking capability, that would embed a hidden watermark in images you upload to your account. THEN THERE IS NO DISPUTING someone stealing your images, you could easily verify the watermark itself. (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

Hey all, I was given a bag of Lego a few days ago that had a number of old set instructions along with a product catalog that has different names for almost all of the sets listed. According to the back, the catalog was printed in Germany by Frank (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm still floating on a cloud somewhere up there... The people, the MOCs, the building inspiration that comes from an event like this has to be experienced to be appreciated. My head is exloding with building (...)

(...) When you say "prohibitively expensive", it's important to put it in context. If you're talking about a 5 year old getting into trains for the first time, metal rails are certainly expensive. If you're talking about a Hobby Train, then that's a (...) (21 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) OK, here's two I was *dying* to ask at BrickFest, but didn't want to take time away from the more "serious" questioners (i.e. - I'm not first & formost a train type). (1) What is the battery life goal? (2) Is the IR system potential compatable (...) (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Vance Quantum line at LEGO Factory?
|
|
Jamie, once LEGO Factory gets underway, will we be seeing a line of Vance Quantum models available for sale? The base would be a huge one, but perhaps you could break it into several sets that can be built separately or fit together. Best, Joe (21 years ago, 16-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, FTX)
