I finally completed my B-Wing. I feel like I don't want to breathe on it. Wish the stand actually held it in place somehow instead of just propping it up. Suppose I could make a few adjustments. I have left the orange dot stickers off of it for now.

The town looked a little rough.
He wasn't too sure about this. Never know what sorts of locals you might pick up.
Definitely *not* Council approved. And as we were saying...

It was inevitable that we were moved to Community. I am honestly surprised it took this long.
The real trick is pulling others into the fold now.

We could try dropping hints at the appropriate times in threads related to things that Lego has in common.
Tolkien. Marvel. DC. Architecture. Star Wars. TMNT. Lone Ranger coming up... and anywhere else we can think of logical connections. Just as long as we resist being obnoxious with it.
I hope we can, but how many times a year will we be able to create a new news thread in the OT? 5? 10?
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I think that it might be harder to get new peeps to join the fold when our exposure to daily views is diminished. I hope I'm wrong though!

Surprised nobody commented on this. Guess it got lost on the last post of the page.
It seems expensive for what it is. The lowest tier plan won't cut it for $10-20 sets. Might as well just get your kids the actual set.
It doesn't seem like the target audience would be kids since they love getting more bricks to build from their imaginations. It seems to target people that just like to experience building from instructions and then sending it back. I can't imagine being the employee that has to check to make sure all the parts are there.

You are not wrong, we are in purgatory of NeoGaf. Ugh! I would post more picture to Pick Up thread and link back to LEGO Gaf, that might at least get some on gaming side to see it. Though lately I really don't like to go to gaming side. I am not excited by Microsoft latest offering but some of the stuff on gaming side is borderline psychotic. And the term Xbone is just as stupid as AFOLs.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
I subscribe to the thread so its not a big deal for me. People will still come. You underestimate LEGO!
If you build it, they will come?

I always just do a Google search of "best lego thread" to find you!
Just bought the green Sopwith Camel and making my way through it. Fun build so far and I can't wait to see how it all comes together. Much bigger than I was expecting which is cool. Unfortunately, my box was missing two semi-large plates so I'll be waiting a week or two to complete it. Booooooo!!!

A MOC of what the Ewok Village *could* look like. I would like to think that the real deal will be significantly larger.
wow that's pretty good, LEGO admitted they created that hair with LEIA in mind

I think the idea is to get the full year paid at like $20 a month which gets you access to everything.
The highlights I see so far is Arkham Asylum, Super Star Destroyer, Pet Shop, Millenium Falcon, Green Grocer, Death Star, Imperial Shuttle, Taj Mahal, and Eiffel Tower.
The selection could be better, but there's some out of print stuff in there too which is kind of neat.

Bullcrap. As someone who hates "AFOL" xbone is hilarious.
Perhaps I should advertise lego-gaf by posting photos of my superhero minifigs alongside comics in the comic thread whenever I buy new books.
Comic-GAF would be a good place to tie into during SDCC, and possibly NYCC as well.
The same goes for Hobbit-GAF and Star Wars-GAF.

Well I was excited about what it could be....until I saw this. Now I have zero interest. This leaves me wanting more. I know its just a mock, but I hope the official one is way better.

That's a nice MOC, but only looks like a $120 set only because of so many minifigures. You need to buy 2 UCS Ewok villages to make it bigger!
This guy's MOC kinda makes any UCS Ewok Village look kinda lame. Check out his photostream for the final and full MOC. I couldn't find a good shot of the Village part of final version.

Hobbit GAF tends to bring up the lego stuff now and then so they are an easy crowd.

More MOC contests might help too.
Or we could do "GAF builds" theads.
GAF builds Tower of Orthanc.

I would hope so too!
It's interesting that Comic-GAF gets to populate on OTStandard, while we end up being required to communicate here in OTCommunity...
What makes their thread different then ours? Do they just not post as often as us? That's probably it isn't?

Monthly restarts probably make it seem less community-ish to the mods if none of them post in it.
The director of the Lego Batman movie was interviewed and he mentioned that the movie isn't just the video game cut scenes stitched together. The scenes have been re-edited and extended to make a coherent movie. It's about twice as long as all the game cut scenes put together.

Wow, it took this long? I thought after last fall's "No more mega-threads" ordinance we would have moved much sooner. Not that it bothers me. LEGO-GAF is always an open tab in my iPhone and iPad.
:LOL, that's the sad truth.Moved to the Megablocks of sub forums.

Wife and I are at Downtown Disney. Probably going to peek inside the LEGO store just to check their PAB and any random tidbits. I do like this store more than my local store.

It is huge! I try to go there whenever I fly into Orlando.
Have they updated the brick built statues outside the store recently?

Will LEGO change the design or is that the final product?

Holy s...that set looks pretty sweet. Having seen the DeLorean in real life, I'm compelled to buy it when it comes out.
The set I mean.
Though I'd be happy with a DeLorean too.

LEGO reserves the right to change the design, as long as the original concept is still intact, so I would expect to see some changes.

Am I the only one that didn't get a Chima set free? Lol.
Anyways, had a coupon and snagged Warp Stinger at BN tonight. Cool set when done, but wish the bug body was bendable. The nice thing is I think I can remove some of the support axles in it and make it look like it is flying at an angle.
Of the bug sets, I put this at 3rd. Hive Crawler is king. Space Swarmer is second.

"Come at me bro."
Are those stickers on the upper chest's cheese slops? I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
If it's the area that I think you mean, then no.
Here's the giant-ass version for better detail:
