Don't let anyone mess with those after they are all in.

My 2 year old daughter loves to open it up and play with the figures.
The problem is my fat fingers can barely fit inside to rehang the things on the walls, etc.

I don't get why kids think these are "toys"... 8)
We currently have 3 modulars accessible to children's hands and whenever i get home from work the minifigs are in different places or there are random animals like cobras and pigs on the roofs. Drives me bananas. Obvious option is to move them but after i get past the bananas feeling, it does make me chuckle.

Has anyone heard the rumors about Lego beginning to do re-releases of older/retired sets?

I'd love to see them re-introduce the vintage blue/gray space line up!!

So I finished this thing yesterday, which was given to me as a gift. It's fake Lego, of course, and now I see the difference. Let's just say it wasn't the most enjoyable build :lol: . The end product is pretty cool, but I'd avoid it unless you're a glutton for punishment. The design of the helmet is pretty decent once you get going, but the facemask is terribly fragile. This is amplified by the fact that pieces are like 1/3 size, so you have to have the manual dexterity to maneuver and lock them in without crushing the thing :lol: . Adding to this, the pieces don't lock as well, and there's some play in the alignment sometimes. It was also 1326 pieces in 2 bags, which made finding things fun, too. I may have to dunk it in glue so I never have to do it again. Also, the manual clarity could use some work. Reading the Amazon reviews now do make me feel accomplished, though 8) .

Cool fan-made lego set of the wooden duck they used to produce, in honor of the 60th anniversary! Not sure I have all the parts needed for this on-hand, but its tempting to bricklink the rest to make this one

Just read a review of the upcoming minifig line (the celebration one) and apparently each box of 60 blind bags only has ONE police officer per box. DAMN

gonna make getting a full set much harder, time to be on the lookout everyone!

If anyone is interested in the Tom Whalen Thor and Justice League Posters, I have two for free. Just would cost shipping and a couple bucks to get it to the post office. Or would be willing to trade them for a few mini-figures or something.
