Lego: C/D, S&D

i was just in montreal last week, where lego was building the "world's largest millipede"...it was pretty awesome.

I've been trying to build Mies' Barcelona Pavillion but I'm stymied by the lack of decent windows in the default brick set.

was looking for a picture of the new Biggest Lego Pirate Mast In The World
but found a bunch of other stuff as well so:

I can't believe it. Nobody choked on a real block after this became available yet? You'd expect hundreds to be dead by now.

LEGO secret vault contains all sets in history

I couldn't actually read that, the writing is so awful

And then it hit me. Lift off. Godspeed. Boom.

A wave of emotions took control, hitting my head like a Lego Airbus 380. Dozens of images started to appear in my head, Polaroids of Xmas and birthdays that I thought were faded, completely fresh, color-corrected, and restored by the damn Lucasfilm for a Blu-ray re-release.

seriously what the fuck

Brickfest is going on in Portland this weekend

asked this on the spaceship thread and thought I'd try again:

OK, need help. I used to have a couple lego style toys. I don't think the blocks etc were compatible. They were major ships (naval and civilian) that were in a smaller scale than most lego things. A destroyer was 6 to 8 inches long and it came with a small helicopter. Anybody know the brand? It seemed almost fancier than lego. Any ideas?

Also, the "studs" had a recess unlike lego. The ship models were only four studs wide. The bows of the ships were fully formed with a bow "cap" that would have the name of the ship.

Anyone??

figured it out! TENTE.

how are they quality-wise? I can't believe none of the knockoffs are able to get close to lego-quality. it's just plastic right?

The bricks need to be made to an accuracy of three thousands of an inch.
