It was not only at BrickCon but also the last Brickfest as well...it was very widely posted online due to it's round towers. That's where ...

I was considering taking apart my dark red moonbase but will leave it up if we do moonbase. On the other hand, if we do a modular castle (which I think would be awesome!) I can make sections if I know what we need beforehand. Would you all be interested in pre-planning a castle layout in enough deta...

My mother and I are both on the list of course. Mike will be carpooling down with us if all goes with the plan, so the car could theoretically take someone else, but that really limits LEGO space.

At least there's no huge castle coming this time...

Hi everyone - I've stolen the follow from Ben's post on Classic-Castle: http://www.flextronics.com/en/portals/0/logo2.gif On July 1st, The LEGO Company issued a press release announcing the end of outsourcing element production to Flextronics. We all know there were quality issues during the initial...
