Ahaa!

That depends a lot on how well you’ve sorted your collection, but yes, rare
parts, and parts you don’t have are of course easier to add digitally ;-)
|
Yes, I do need to get to that whole sorting ordeal one day..
|
You mean... that you haven’t sorted your lego?!! Right! OK, really: How have you
sorted it?
| |
| |
| |
I never did use MLCAD much, I always wanted to use parts that weren’t
rendered yet :P
|
Who knows, those parts can be modelled by now, so that’s not an excuse :-p
|
You got me there.
|
Yes and we’re still waiting for someone to model those oniondomes... Somebody
who really likes them - like you ;-) That’s always a good way to make a part
more popular.
| |
| |
The only de-laming that’s possible is the fact that the ones building
successfully with them raises in our esteem, but that don’t rub off on the
part. A lame part can never ever be de-lamed, that’s my opinion.
|
What if the lame part ends up being integral in a MOC trend? (Like the Pod
craze, but those dome parts weren’t lame in the first place.)
|
Nope, it still ends up in the lame box after you’ve used it a few times, and if
I’m not mistaken, the pod craze started before the podsets (and ended before I
really got started with lugnet). Still, It would’ve taken off again if TLC had
made them better (like without strapholders at the sides and in more transparent
colours: Why haven’t they made a trans red or yellow to go with the black
podparts?
But about those oniondomes, I’ve become so curious that I have to buy a couple
now, given the chance, and then make a few models with them (that I can’t finish
in MLCAD) before they end up in the lamebox and it’ll all be your fault. Grr!
;-)

I’m sure I’ve gotten more than 300 parts in a bag (mmm, corner slopes), you
know, when I’m not getting trees or somesuch.
|
What kind of corner slopes?? I’m with you on the trees (although I won’t
touch them sold by volume!!) the only slopes we got is those nice curved 1x6
ones in black and white.
|
Red 2x2 45 degree slope bricks. I got over a hundred. As for trees, I worked
it out, and by volume (in a bag) I was able to beat the Shop at Home price on
them by about 1/3, not including shipping (or gas to get to the outlet:P) The
trick is to interlock the buggers. And, of course, fill the gaps with
transparent red 1x1 tiles or something ghastly like that.
|
It is different offers, definitely, it would’ve been nice to have both kinds
here in Copenhagen, I wouldn’t mind a couple of bags of trans red tiles… (all
ruby spacecraft, maybe with chrome backing for brilliance mmmh!)
| |
Ooh. I will definitely have to ask about that. Maybe if I could plunder the
pertinent bits of the Adventurers sets, I wouldn’t have to wait for onion
domes in the mail...
|
I asked them today, and it was a kind of experiment they didn’t know if would
continue, so I don’t if it’ll hit the states... Anyways, it’s about time we get
some cheap lego over here, and you guys have had your chance to buy the sets
already ;-)
Cheers NB
